Those Who Come, Halt
"Elder Gu Shuo, now that I have killed the three members of the Elder Xie Gu's family, if I stay any longer, it may bring disaster to the Gu Family. The Evil Wind Cave Heaven is not to be trifled with, so it's best to leave now."
Lin Dong lightly flew into the Gu Family's camp.
"Lin Dong, I..."
Gu Shuo was touched by what he heard and didn't know what to say.
"There's no need for further words. I plan to visit the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion in the Heavenly Merchant Region next. Elder Gu Shuo, could you please give me a complete sea map of the Chaotic Demon Sea Region?"
Lin Dong waved his hand and said.
The Heavenly Merchant Region is located at the junction of the Heavenly Wind Sea Region and several other seas. It is famous in the Chaotic Demon Sea Region because it is the headquarters of the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion.
As one of the largest merchant guilds in the Chaotic Demon Region, the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion is headed by a powerful expert at the Samsara Stage, and has countless strong subordinates. Its power is in no way inferior to the two great grotto heavens of the Heavenly Wind Sea Region.
Therefore, the Heavenly Merchant Region is also one of the places with the most treasures and information in the Chaotic Demon Sea Region, and it is extremely popular, a place that countless Gold Prospector yearn for.
"This Cosmic Bag contains a detailed sea map of the Chaotic Demon Sea, as well as five million Xuan Yuan Pill. It's not a large quantity, so take it all."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuo immediately took out a black Cosmic Bag from his waist and handed it over.
"Haha, thank you, Elder Gu Shuo. We'll meet again someday."
Lin Dong didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Cosmic Bag directly. Then he summoned the Azure Sky Lotus, turned around and left, disappearing quickly into the horizon amidst a sea of awe-inspiring gazes.
Against the clear blue sky, a Green Lotus Seat carried a handsome young man in black, speeding towards the depths of the sea.
This person was none other than Lin Dong. It had been more than ten days since he left Martial Gathering Island, and he would be able to resist the outer defenses of the Heavenly Merchant Region in a few more days.
"Halt!"
However, Lin Dong was soon stopped by a large group of people.
On the vast, azure sea, hundreds of figures with considerable aura gathered together, firmly sealing off this area, as if they were searching for something.
Hundreds of figures were all shirtless, tall, with scarlet scales faintly visible on their exposed skin, and their eyes were a bloodthirsty dark red, exuding a unique and chilling aura.
Each person was carried by a giant blood-red shark, which steadily placed them on the surface of the sea, making it easy to walk on the waves.
"Oh? The Blood Demon Shark Tribe? Does that mean Mu Lingshan is nearby?"
Lin Dong's eyes flashed, and he stopped in his tracks.
The Blood Shark Clan is a major clan among the sea monsters of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Although not as top-tier Overlord Clan as the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe or the Sea Giant Tribe, which belong to the Master of Life and Death and Master of Primeval Desolation, their overall strength is still quite formidable because their members are not weak in number, they prefer group battles, and so on.
I've heard that there are several experts at the Samsara Stage Realm within their clan.
Lin Dong simply couldn't understand why the Blood Demon Shark Tribe would target Mu Lingshan, the Little Princess of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe. Was it because they could eat her or what benefits they could gain?
Even if Mu Lingshan possesses the supreme secret technique of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe — the Undying Heaven Evolution Technique —that is their bloodline secret technique. How could a mere shark like you learn it?
The Third Elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe Mu Lan, is a top-tier Samsara Stage cultivator who has touched upon Reincarnation. The Second Elder is an even more terrifying existence who has stepped into the Reincarnation Stage. The Great Elder has probably already passed through First Layer Reincarnation Tribulation and is of the same generation as Qing Zhi.
(In the original novel, after Qing Zhi saved Lin Dong from afar, he talked with an old man with white hair in a secluded place. That man was Mu Lingshan's great-grandfather, who was also the Great Elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe.)
The sea monster Great Clan, which has no Cycle Stage Expert, actually went and provoked the sea monster Overlord Clan, which has two Cycle Stage Expert Realm. The strangest thing is that it did not gain any benefit at all.
So what exactly are the Blood Demon Shark Tribe, whose minds are filled with nothing but muscles, thinking? They're actually quite something.
This sense of incongruity is equivalent to the Eight Royal Clans of the Demon Domain suddenly declaring war on the Four Overlord Clans. Any powerful figure in the Demon Domain who hears such news would probably think that the Eight Royal Clans have gone mad, and that they are not even in the same league.
Are the Blood Demon Shark Tribe raised on excrement? Why would they attack the Little Princess of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe for no reason? Are they trying to commit suicide?
Thinking of this, Lin Dong's gaze toward the Blood Demon Shark Tribe's powerful members who were blocking the sea became increasingly strange. This clan's actions were truly too impressive, making his scalp tingle.
This batch of the Blood Demon Shark Tribe members is of high quality, including one at the Life Mysterious Stage, Great Achievement, ten at the Life Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement, and the remaining hundred or so clan members are even Nirvana Stage expert at the Eighth or Ninth Yuan level.
Lin Dong's "trespassing" immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of the Blood Demon Shark Tribe experts. The leader, Life Mysterious Stage, Great Achievement expert, spurred the blood shark beneath his feet to swim over.
"Human, my Blood Demon Shark Tribe is on a mission ahead. Please leave immediately."
Perhaps because Lin Dong was a Life Mysterious Stage, Great Accomplishment Peak, the burly Blood Demon Shark Commander was not too arrogant, but his tone was quite harsh.
"Since Mu Lingshan is nearby, I have to save her. The incarnation of the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol cannot fall into the hands of these stinking sharks, even though they don't know its value."
Lin Dong's eyes darted around and he immediately had a plan. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you glaring at me? And with bloodshot eyes at me. Tell me, are you trying to harm me?"
The Blood Demon Shark Commander, looking utterly bewildered. "???"
The Blood Demon Shark Tribe members are born with dark red eyes. What the hell is this?! They stare at you with bloodshot eyes – can they really control that?!
Wait a minute, is this guy looking for trouble?!
How novel! It's always been the Blood Demon Shark Tribe, known for their violent nature, that deliberately provokes others. Now, someone actually dares to provoke the Blood Demon Shark Tribe? This story is just too damn fantastical!
"Human, get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Blood Demon Shark Commander grew increasingly angry as he thought about it, and suddenly raised the trident in his hand, a vast amount of crimson Origin Energy faintly spreading out, locking onto Lin Dong from afar.
Although both Life Mysterious Stage, Great Achievement, Lin Dong's cultivation was slightly stronger than his, but he had hundreds of clansmen assisting him. The Blood Demon Shark Commander was confident that he could kill this despicable and shameless human within minutes.
"As expected, you really did want to harm me. I was just passing through here and have no grudge against your Blood Demon Shark Tribe, yet you want to harm me? Well, to protect myself, I have no choice but to strike first!"
Seeing the Blood Demon Shark Commander raise his weapon, Lin Dong became even more certain of his guess. After a sorrowful sigh, he raised his hand and threw a powerful punch.
"Great Star Gang Fist!"
As the thick gray fog spread, an ancient, enormous gray star rapidly rose from the depths of the fog. Its surface was pitted and uneven, yet it possessed a unique, unsettling quality, as if it were the embodiment of the most powerful and masculine force, dazzling and impossible to look directly at.
As soon as the enormous gray star took shape, it roared down with a long gray tail of flame, causing large areas of space to twist and collapse violently.
