101: Chapter 101 A hefty reward will surely attract brave warriors; the notorious thieves become bounty hunters.

After hearing this, The Bandit Duo, who were nearby planning to cause trouble, suddenly popped out from nowhere! Blue Shark appeared before the old woman with a rose in his mouth.

"And this Fellow Daoist is...?"

As the old woman asked her question.

Blue Shark and his partner recited their classic catchphrase and handed the flower to the old woman.

"Very good! You look quite reliable! Then I shall entrust this mission to you!"

"As long as you kill all the interfering Sea Poison Beasts, 100,000 Spirit Stones will be yours!"

"But everyone else, don't worry! You can also compete! Whoever gets the kill first gets the money!"

"100,000! No problem, Boss! Mission guaranteed!" The cash-strapped Bandit Duo replied excitedly upon hearing the price.

"Huh? Why is it The Bandit Duo from the Now You See Me Thieves Guild! Why are they trying to wipe them out too?" Yu Xiaotang worried for the Sea Poison Beasts as she watched the money-hungry Bandit Duo.

Lin Kuang simply smiled and patted Xiao Tang's head. "Xiao Tang, not everyone in this world is a Young Miss like you! Many people are short on money!"

"What? Are you going to bully the Sea Poison Beasts too? What did they do wrong? They just want to protect their home!"

"Please don't go, okay? I'm here with you!"

"Hahaha!" Lin Kuang pinched Xiao Tang's cute little face. "While there is no right or wrong in a war for survival, I won't help them with the slaughter either!"

"Then can you send them to a safe place? It must be because of the port expansion that they lost their families!"

Lin Kuang gently patted Yu Xiaotang's head. "Of course, for your sake! I can definitely do it!"

Yu Xiaotang was originally worried about her position, but hearing Lin Kuang say this, she immediately felt relieved.

"Then let's work hard together!"

Lin Kuang glanced at the inn in the middle of the sea, thought for a moment, and said, "You should head back to the inn and find Yuhan first!"

"I'll send you a transmission when I need your help later!"

"Mm, okay!" Yu Xiaotang dropped her usual willful personality and calmly agreed, waiting at the inn for him to return!

After sensing Lin Kuang's intentions, the injured Ice Seahorse led him and the Crystal Giant Turtle into the construction zone.

The construction zone was densely littered with the corpses of Spirit Beasts, surrounded by spilled poison and countless hazardous waste.

"It seems people will do anything for profit! Even the Cultivation World can't escape this law!" Lin Kuang was no longer surprised by this.

However, he felt a chill down his spine, a feeling identical to when he left Tianfu Avenue! Someone isn't trying to ambush me, are they?

Turning around, he saw countless Sea Poison Beasts slowly pushing through the corpses and waste to reveal themselves.

Lin Kuang immediately picked up the Ice Seahorse and flew out. After all, they were also victims, and he didn't want to fight them; he just needed to stop The Bandit Duo to solve the problem!

However, when the Sea Poison Beasts saw Lin Kuang holding the discarded poison crates, they could no longer suppress their rage! They launched an attack on Lin Kuang instantly!

The Sea Poison Beasts spat venom to attack Lin Kuang in the sky.

Facing the relentless Sea Poison Beasts, Lin Kuang had no choice but to attack!

"Xiao Wu! Knock them all out with electricity for me!"

Zzzzt—

Instantly, a powerful current spread through the sea, and the corpses of Sea Poison Beasts floated to the surface.

"Oh no, water conducts electricity!" Xiao Wu said sheepishly, hands behind his back and mouth twitching.

But after dealing with one group, another emerged from the sea! It was like an endless line of descendants!

However, these Sea Poison Beasts had learned their lesson. Knowing Lin Kuang was strong, they didn't choose to attack individually but instead used a combined technique against him.

"Soul-Consuming Wave!"

The combined attack of hundreds and thousands of Sea Poison Beasts was too fast. Xiao Wu didn't have time to react before being hard-crowd-controlled!

"No, my head hurts! I can't... concentrate..." Xiao Wu held his head, wobbling as he flew in the air.

Because Lin Kuang's Divine Sense was very powerful, these sonic interferences had no effect on him! Left with no choice, he could only recall Xiao Wu and fly toward the inn.

But just as he landed, the Ice Seahorse began vomiting ink—but the ink was tinged with green!

Lin Kuang thought for a moment and immediately handed the discarded toxic water to the people from the Cultivation Alliance, hoping they could help investigate.

He then left the Ice Seahorse in the care of Big Sister Liu Fengsha and prepared to head back.

On the way back, Lin Kuang realized that Xiao Wu would be affected by the Sea Poison Beasts' combined technique, which would greatly impact his subsequent mission.

Whether it was through persuasion or force, the situation was very unfavorable for him!

Now he could only go practice the Nine Suns Burning Fire Art! Although fire was weak against water, with his current cultivation, he could still handle those weaklings!

After finalizing his plan, Lin Kuang found a spot to practice his skills.

For two days straight, the old woman continued to recruit Cultivators to hunt Sea Poison Beasts on the sea, but things remained very calm, with no major incidents occurring.

However, until today, The Bandit Duo had somehow refined a poison. Jar after jar of poison was poured into the sea, and large swathes of Sea Poison Beast corpses floated up.

The entire sea surface was filled with a foul stench and surrounded by a green mist.

At this moment, the sea was crowded with people, including Yu Xiaotang and her group.

"Master! Have you seen Lin Kuang these past two days?" Yu Xiaotang was more worried about Lin Kuang than the Sea Poison Beasts.

"Don't worry, he surely has his own things to do," Pei Yuhan said calmly. She was Lin Kuang's woman and had to trust him.

If she were to step in and solve it for him, it would be difficult for Lin Kuang to grow. The Cultivation World was not the mortal realm; there were many people with ill intentions.

"Aren't you worried about him?" Yu Xiaotang was constantly trying to help Lin Kuang's case.

"I..." Pei Yuhan slowly opened her eyes. "While I am very worried about him, I believe he has the ability to solve the problem!"

"Of course, if things reach an irreversible point, I will take action!"

Yu Xiaotang felt relieved after hearing this, but seeing the Cultivators and Sea Poison Beasts fighting on the sea, she knew she couldn't resolve the matter herself!

Even though she wanted to go up and help, she kept Lin Kuang's instructions in mind and only watched from a distance.

Boom—

A violent sound echoed from the seabed as a hundred-meter-tall Sea Poison Beast slowly crawled out and onto the inn.

"Is that... a Sea Poison Beast? What did it eat to become so huge?" Seeing such a massive Sea Poison Beast, Yu Xiaotang's face contorted in shock; the books said they only grew to three meters at most.

The giant Sea Poison Beast immediately scared away many ordinary Cultivators.

At this moment, Yu Xiaotang rushed forward regardless of her safety, intending to persuade it to leave, because she knew the old woman would surely deal a killing blow.
