Rescuing Mu Lingshan

As dusk fell, a crescent moon hung in the sky, its cool light casting a beautiful, fish-scale-like glow over the entire sea.

On a small island somewhere in this sea, a campfire was burning. Lin Langtian, Liu Da, and the other two sat quietly by the fire, and the grilled fish on the fire emitted a faint aroma.

"Palace Lord, those guys we encountered during the day seemed to be an elite squad of the Blood Demon Shark Clan. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be looking for something," Liu Da said, turning the grilled fish over and looking at Lin Langtian.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in them, before shaking his head and saying, "Whatever they're looking for is none of our business."

Upon hearing this, Liu Da nodded in agreement and then respectfully handed over the grilled fish he was holding.

Just as Lin Langtian was about to take a bite of the grilled fish, a gurgling sound of someone swallowing saliva rang out from not far away.

"Who?!"

The sudden sound startled Lin Langtian, who abruptly raised his head. At the same time, Liu Da and the other two also leaped up, cautiously looking around.

However, they then saw a little girl in a blue cotton coat standing on a large tree not far away, her big, dark eyes fixed on the grilled fish in Lin Langtian's hand.

The little girl looked quite young, but she was extremely cute, with delicate features like a porcelain doll. She had two pigtails on her head and looked exceptionally well-behaved.

In the woods, Lin Langtian and the girl in green stared at each other. The girl looked at him, and then her big, dark eyes couldn't help but turn to the grilled fish in his hand. She clearly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly, then seemed to think of something, and the wariness in his eyes lessened. He then waved the grilled fish in his hand at her and said, "Want some?"

"Um."

The girl in green nodded without hesitation, her petite body leaping out and landing nimbly beside the campfire, staring intently at Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian looked at the girl in green, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes, and then handed her the grilled fish. "Here, eat."

"Thanks."

The girl in green expressed her gratitude. Her voice was extremely clear and melodious, like jade beads falling onto a silver plate. Although it was a little immature, she thought that when she grew up, her voice alone would be enough to charm many men.

After saying that, she reached out and took the grilled fish without any hesitation, and immediately began to wolf it down.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled and then waved to Liu Da and the other two.

Seeing this, Liu Da and the other two looked at each other, and then a bitter smile appeared on their lips. Then one of them caught fish, one cleaned the fish, and one grilled it. The three Death Profound Stage experts actually started grilling fish together.

The girl in blue must have had a rather astonishing appetite. After Lin Langtian handed her more than twenty large grilled fish, she finally stopped eating, feeling somewhat satisfied. She patted her little belly and gave Lin Langtian a sweet smile, "Thank you, big brother."

"What's your name?" Lin Langtian waved his hand and asked with a smile.

"Mu Lingshan".

The little girl in green tugged at her pigtails, then looked at Lin Langtian with her big eyes and asked, "Where's big brother?"

"Lin Langtian." Lin Langtian smiled, but in his heart he thought to himself, "As expected."

"It's a very nice name." Mu Lingshan said with a smile. She tilted her head and stared at Lin Langtian, saying, "Actually, I wasn't attracted by the grilled fish. I just couldn't help but follow you when I saw you, big brother."

"You're following me? When?" Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I've been following you ever since you met those guys today," Mu Lingshan said, shaking her head as she spoke, causing her two pigtails to sway.

"I don't know why, but I always felt that you wouldn't hurt me, so I followed you."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes.

If he remembered correctly, the girl in green named Mu Lingshan should be the incarnation of the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, one of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols.

The reason she has such special trust in Lin Langtian is probably because Lin Langtian possesses the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Space Ancestral Talisman, which is why she feels this way about Lin Langtian.

"Big brother, I'm injured and need to rest first."

Mu Lingshan, who was standing to the side, didn't care what Lin Langtian was thinking. She smiled and said something to him, and then lay down on the rock next to her like a kitten and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian nodded with a wry smile.

"Um?"

The next moment, Lin Langtian suddenly saw a deep blue light emanating from Mu Lingshan's body.

These lights enveloped her like a protective shield, and as the shield appeared, the hideous wounds on Mu Lingshan's slender arms began to heal at a visible speed.

"Oh, this is..."

Lin Langtian watched this scene with surprise, and from the light barrier, he sensed an extremely peculiar fluctuation.

"The Immortal Heaven-Deriving Method..." Liu Da's extremely surprised voice suddenly rang out from the side at this moment.

"Is this little girl from the Immortal Sacred Whale Clan? She actually knows that clan's unique techniques?" Liu Da murmured, then looked at Lin Langtian and said, "Palace Lord, the three of us came to the Chaotic Demon Sea to escape the pursuit of the Yuan Sect, and we happened to meet a powerful member of the Undying Sacred Whale Clan."

The Immortal Heaven-Deriving Method that this young girl cultivates originated from the Undying Sacred Whale Clan Undying Sacred Whale Clan, a true overlord-level force in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. Since learning about Mu Lingshan's identity, he was already fully aware of her background.

"Tonight, the three of you will take turns on guard duty..."

After giving the order, Lin Langtian gradually closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Upon hearing this, Liu Da and the other two nodded respectfully, glanced at the girl in green with surprise, and then the three of them began to take turns on guard duty.

The night passed quietly, and when dawn broke, Mu Lingshan, who was fast asleep, finally opened her big eyes, and her bright, dark eyes once again shone with liveliness.

Lin Langtian opened his eyes at the same moment. He looked at Mu Lingshan, smiled slightly, and said, "Did you sleep well?"

"Um."

Mu Lingshan nodded with a grin. She glanced at the healed wound on her hand, pouted, then waved to Lin Langtian and said, "Big brother, thank you for the grilled fish. I'm off now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Lingshan's petite body leaped up a tall tree. Then, after hesitating for a moment, she grabbed her pigtails and said, "Big brother, don't go the way I'm going."

"Um?"

Lin Langtian was taken aback and was about to ask a question when Mu Lingshan let out a clear laugh. Her petite body transformed into a streak of light and streaked away from the island, quickly disappearing from Lin Langtian's sight.

Lin Langtian stared at the direction where Mu Lingshan had disappeared, his eyes narrowing slightly. He then disobeyed her and led Liu Da and the other two to follow her.

Lin Langtian and his group did not deliberately avoid or actively meet anything, so... after flying over the sea for about an hour, they sensed a very violent energy fluctuation coming from the distance to their left.

A menacing aura permeated those fluctuations, clearly indicating that those who made the move were the Blood Demon Shark Clan squad they had encountered yesterday.

Among them, a somewhat familiar aura clearly belonged to Mu Lingshan.

"Palace Lord, should we go and rescue that little girl?" Liu Da seemed to have seen through Lin Langtian's thoughts and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That is a powerful member of the Blood Demon Shark Clan. Are you willing to provoke such a formidable enemy with me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Da and the other two exchanged a glance, then solemnly declared, "Since joining the Heavenly Mansion, we are willing to brave mountains of knives and seas of fire for our Palace Lord!"

Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand and led the three of them toward the place of conflict.

The Liu Brothers have passed his initial test.

On a vast expanse of sea, hundreds of blood sharks gathered together, forming a circle. On each of those blood sharks stood a burly member of the Blood Demon Shark Clan.

At this moment, all of their eyes were filled with a strong murderous aura, locked on the very center of the encirclement.

There, a little girl in a blue dress with two pigtails stood on the water, her big, dark, bright eyes glaring angrily at everyone around her.

"Hehe, Little Princess of the Undying Sacred Whale Clan, I think you'd better come with me obediently. You should know that we don't know anything about pity."

In the innermost circle of the encirclement, there was an exceptionally robust blood shark, and on top of the blood shark was a bare-chested, fierce man whose strength had reached the Life Profound Stage Perfection and who was known as Commander Wang. At this moment, he was smiling as he looked at Mu Lingshan, who was surrounded, and said with a smile.

"You bastard sharks, you think you can catch me?" Mu Lingshan's big eyes darted around, her gaze constantly scanning the encirclement.

"Hehe, I know you are a once-in-a-millennium genius in the Undying Sacred Whale Clan. To be able to successfully cultivate the ' Immortal Heaven-Deriving Method ' at such a young age is extremely rare, even within the Immortal Sacred Whale Clan."

"But you are still too young, and our elders have personally placed a seal on you. How much resistance do you have now?" Commander Wang with a detached smile.

"Hmph, then you can try it!"

Mu Lingshan suddenly darted out, blue light flashing on her small hands, and then slammed her palm onto the seawater. "Whale Tide Pulse Wave!"

Boom!

Blue light flashed out from Mu Lingshan's palm like lightning, and the sea immediately surged wildly. A huge wave, hundreds of feet long, surged up from Mu Lingshan's body. Blue light surged within the wave, releasing astonishing fluctuations.

Bang!

The waves, imbued with a unique energy, swept out instantly and crashed into the surrounding encirclement. Some of the Blood Demon Shark Clan's powerful members were caught off guard and were sent flying, shark and all.

However, the powerful members of the Blood Demon Shark Clan were also experienced in combat. They directly rode their blood sharks through the water, and their sharp tridents transformed into streaks of light, attacking the petite figure among them.

"Ten Thousand Whale Palm!"

Mu Lingshan stepped on the water and soared into the air. Her petite body nimbly spun in mid-air, and with a single palm strike, a surge of blue light erupted, transforming her into a gigantic whale hundreds of feet long.

The giant whale crashed out, and the dozens of the Blood Demon Shark Clan experts who rushed in were instantly knocked over.

With a single palm strike, Mu Lingshan created an opening and quickly darted away. However, just as she was about to escape, Commander Wang's burly figure appeared in front of her, and an Chang Ling and chilling gust of wind rushed straight towards her throat. This attack was clearly extremely ruthless.

"Get out of my way!"

Faced with these numerous obstacles, Mu Lingshan's dark eyes blazed with impatience and anger. In the next instant, a flash of blue light appeared in her hand, and a black door panel that almost completely covered her body appeared in her grasp.

The door panel was extremely thick and heavy, its entire surface as black as ink. On it were extremely obscure and mysterious patterns. When the door panel appeared, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from it, causing the space itself to ripple.

"The Life and Death Coffin... lid?" Commander Wang asked in surprise.

As the black door panel was opened, a stream of black energy surged forth from the front. This Black Qi was actually the Death Qi fluctuation that only a powerful expert in the Death Profound Stage could possess!

However, just as these black energies were about to condense and be unleashed, Mu Lingshan's body suddenly stiffened, and a beam of blood-red light burst forth from her chest, faintly forming the shape of a blood-red light shark.

Under the impact of this blood-red light, the blue light around her immediately became unstable, and she even staggered.

"Hehe, although you have the Life and Death Coffin Lid, you are sealed within. With your current power, trying to use it would be asking for trouble."

Upon seeing this, Commander Wang's face contorted with rage, and he unleashed a powerful palm strike. The fierce gust of wind struck Mu Lingshan's body, whose face had drastically changed.

"Snort..."

The force exploded on Mu Lingshan's body, sending her flying backward with a muffled groan, her face turning pale.

"You stinking sharks, you all deserve to die!" Mu Lingshan cursed through gritted teeth, clearly having suffered quite a bit of grievance from these Blood Demon Shark Clan recently.

"Haha, now we have an unexpected bonus. Although what you have is just the lid of the Life and Death Coffin, it is still an extremely powerful Pure Origin Treasure. However, this thing will belong to my Blood Demon Shark Clan from now on!"

Commander Wang laughed loudly, then suddenly shot out, his trident gleaming with blood-red light, tearing through the air as he fiercely stabbed at Mu Lingshan, whose breath was fluctuating.

As Mu Lingshan stared at the rapidly enlarging blood-red light in her eyes, her face grew even paler.

Bang!

However, just as Mu Lingshan was about to forcefully activate the Life and Death Coffin Lid in her hand, a silver light suddenly swept in from afar. A Blade of Space tore through space and annihilated the blood light with overwhelming force.

Upon seeing this, Commander Wang's expression immediately changed. He then shifted his gaze and saw Lin Langtian and his three companions approaching from not far away. His expression darkened instantly, and he growled menacingly.

"It's you! You mere humans dare to interfere in the affairs of my Blood Demon Shark Clan? Are you courting death?!"
