80: Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals

Tao Ying turned back in astonishment.

When she saw it was Lin Mu, she cried even harder.

Her forehead knocked against the ground, making thudding sounds.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."

Tao Ying thanked Lin Mu with every bow.

Suddenly, Tao Ying's forehead could no longer knock down.

An invisible force lifted her up.

"No need for this. I'm here to see him!" Lin Mu's tone was calm.

He walked a few steps to the grave.

His palm gently caressed the tombstone.

The figure from twenty years ago seemed to reappear before his eyes.

That young man, with a naive face yet intelligent and decisive.

He was determined to follow Lin Mu; he had ideals and ambitions.

But Lin Mu also had his own mission.

He didn't have much energy to cultivate a young man with ordinary talent.

Lin Mu was not a sentimental person.

Tao Rong, Tao Qian, and even Xu Liying were merely passersby in his life.

He left quietly.

Tao Ying bowed deeply again in the direction Lin Mu had left.

The trip to the demon race, though it didn't yield a heavenly dao stone, was not in vain.

Now the whereabouts of the heavenly dao stone were known.

And the Old Dragon King had at least two heavenly dao stones in his possession.

The Endless Sea was definitely a place he had to visit, but before that, Lin Mu decided to return to the Heavenly Dao Sect first.

It was already midnight when he returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Yun Feiyang learned from questioning the elders of the sect that Lao Mo had not yet come out of seclusion.

The three of them did not stay overnight but rushed to the Endless Sea that same night.

They were all high-level martial artists, and the flight only took a few hours to reach the Golden Great Grassland.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor greedily took a deep breath of the demon territory's scent.

"Hmm! It's still the scent of the demon race, making one comfortable."

Lin Mu heard him and said faintly, "Then you should stay in your demon race and stop running around."

Lin Mu could feel the Black Bear Demon Emperor's extraordinary nature, and it might be useful in the future.

Otherwise, according to Lin Mu's style, he certainly wouldn't keep such an annoying enemy.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor knew Lin Mu was warning him not to step into human territory again.

He chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll stay in my Black Bear Ridge and won't go anywhere."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

After speaking, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and flew towards Black Bear Ridge.

After the Black Bear Demon Emperor left, Lin Mu took out the jade slip Ice Emperor had given him.

He used his divine sense to reconfirm the direction and then sped off in that direction.

The vast Endless Sea stretched out endlessly.

Lin Mu and Yun Feiyang had been flying for three days and three nights straight.

At first, there were still shadows of birds.

Now, in the entire world, there were only the two of them.

Not even the shadow of a demon beast could be seen.

After several days of continuous flight, Lin Mu showed no signs of discomfort.

Yun Feiyang's face was grim.

He hovered over the sea, speaking in a heavy tone.

"Sect Master, could the clue given by the Ice Emperor be wrong? We've been flying for three days now."

They had already flown millions of miles at this point.

Lin Mu took out the jade slip and examined it again.

The jade slip seemed to have a positioning formation, indicating that they were not far from their destination.

Lin Mu roughly estimated that at their previous speed, it would only take a few more hours.

After flying for about two more hours, a tentacle suddenly shot out from the sea, attacking Yun Feiyang.

This sudden attack, combined with Yun Feiyang's already exhausted state, caught him off guard, and he was dragged into the sea by the tentacle.

However, Yun Feiyang was, after all, a half-step Emperor Realm powerhouse.

How could a mere level seven tentacle monster be his opponent?

The moment he entered the sea, a long sword suddenly cut off the tentacle.

Yun Feiyang, holding his long sword, flew back to the surface of the sea.

The tentacle monster, having its tentacle severed, immediately went berserk.

The entire sea surface became turbulent.

A giant octopus monster, dozens of meters in size, emerged from the water.

As soon as it appeared, dozens of tentacles wrapped around Yun Feiyang again.

Yun Feiyang sneered.

Facing an enemy head-on, he didn't even put a mere level seven demon beast in his eyes.

He brandished his sword, slashing repeatedly.

In an instant, hundreds of sword qi shot towards the tentacles.

The sharp sword qi severed all the tentacles in just a moment.

The octopus monster never expected this tiny creature in front of it to be so powerful.

It turned and tried to dive into the sea.

How could Yun Feiyang let it succeed?

He casually threw out his long sword.

The long sword suddenly grew in size in the air.

By the time it flew over the octopus monster's head, it had become a colossal sword reaching the heavens.

The octopus monster's body instantly appeared insignificant in front of this sword.

The octopus monster looked at the giant sword, its face filled with terror.

Its diving speed increased by a few points.

However, its speed was like a snail's crawl in front of the giant sword.

The giant sword pierced the octopus monster's body in a few breaths.

The terrifying penetrative power directly split the octopus monster in half.

In an instant, the sea surface in that entire area turned a mix of red and black.

Lin Mu was not surprised by the death of the octopus monster.

However, from this, he could guess that the Dragon Palace must be nearby.

Lin Mu's guess was correct.

The octopus monster had just been killed.

Suddenly, a wave dozens of meters high surged from the sea again.

Dozens of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals stood at the crest of the wave.

The leading shrimp-shaped demon, holding a three-edged long saber, said arrogantly:

"Where did this demon come from, daring to trespass into the Dragon Palace's sea territory?"

Yun Feiyang heard the Shrimp Soldier call them demons.

He immediately retorted, "Are your shrimp eyes blind? We are human martial artists. Hurry and tell your Dragon King to come out and greet us."

The Shrimp Soldier was stunned: "Humans?"

As creatures of the Dragon Palace, their knowledge naturally far surpassed that of ordinary demon beasts.

They had heard of humans.

However, humans rarely came to the Endless Sea, so this was their first time seeing them.

The Shrimp Soldier carefully scrutinized Lin Mu and Yun Feiyang, and the killing intent on him faded a bit.

He said in a milder tone, "So you are humans. We have orders not to kill passing humans."

"You should leave quickly. I will forgive your rude behavior just now."

That octopus monster was a captive demon beast guarding the outer perimeter of the Dragon Palace.

His words were meant to give Yun Feiyang enough face.

Yun Feiyang scoffed, "A mere small octopus, so what if I killed it? What can you do to me? Do I need your forgiveness?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't go and report to the Dragon King to come out and greet us, then I will directly kill my way into the Dragon Palace."

The Shrimp Soldier didn't expect humans to be so unappreciative.

He brandished his weapon, "Capture them and hand them over to Prime Minister Gui for judgment."

These demon beasts all had peak level seven strength, and they possessed weapons and armor.

Their combat power was much stronger than that of ordinary level seven demon beasts.

An ordinary Venerable Realm expert would undoubtedly die if they encountered them.

But Yun Feiyang was no ordinary Venerable.

He could easily kill even a Ninth-level Venerable.

Dealing with some level seven demon beasts was simply effortless for him.

He didn't even need to use his Natal Spirit Sword.

Yun Feiyang simply swung the long sword in his hand.

The charging Dragon Palace soldiers were torn to shreds and swallowed by the suddenly appearing spatial rift.

This scene terrified the Shrimp Soldier, leaving him dumbfounded.

He turned and fled in panic.

He kept shouting, "Prime Minister, save me!"

Just as Yun Feiyang was about to deliver another sword strike,

Lin Mu spoke up to stop him, "Stop, follow him."
