Sea Soul Beasts? Traitors Who Worship the Sea God!

As the morning light rises from the sea, it bathes the deck in a warm, golden hue.

Mu Ye was sitting on the side of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

He didn't turn around when he heard footsteps.

Just as Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena approached, Mu Ye's fishing rod twitched slightly.

He didn't rush to reel in the line, as if waiting for the fish to decide for itself whether to bite or leave.

"Uncle Mu!"

Gu Yuena's voice was exceptionally clear in the morning light.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you call me to cultivate together?"

Mu Ye then turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

Then his gaze fell on Bai Yuan, his eyes carrying a meaning that said, "You're pretty good at finding outside help."

Bai Yuan shrugged, his tone carrying just the right amount of innocence:

"It's none of my business, she came of her own accord."

Mu Ye's gaze shifted back to Gu Yuena:

"We're going out to sea to hunt today."

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up:

"Great! Watch me rid the people of this scourge and wipe out these evil Soul Beast!"

She silently added in her mind, "Just wait until I wipe them all out! How dare they acknowledge humans as their masters and forget about the Dragon God!"

These beasts!

Bai Yuan stood aside, watching Gu Yuena's eager expression.

His lips twitched slightly, and he silently added in his mind:

Aren't all Soul Beast your subjects?

Oh!

I almost forgot.

It's not on your side!

But he didn't say anything; he just stood quietly to the side.

Mu Ye has already put away his fishing rod.

"Okay, let's go then. The weather's nice today, perfect for a swim."

He stood up, brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes, and walked towards the cabin.

Gu Yuena followed behind him, her steps light and quick, the tips of her silver hair swaying slightly in the morning light.

Bai Yuan walked at the very back, glancing at Gu Yuena's retreating figure.

He glanced again at Mu Ye's retreating figure, then looked away and followed them.

After a while, they arrived at a stretch of sea.

Bai Yuan stepped onto the sea surface, creating a faint ripple around his feet.

He looked around; the sea was as calm as a mirror, and even the wind seemed to have bypassed the area.

How to hunt them?

"Mr. Mu Ye."

He turned his head to look at Mu Ye.

"There doesn't seem to be any aura of Soul Beast in this sea area."

Gu Yuena stood to the side, her head slightly turned as she used her spiritual power to sense the movements beneath the water's surface. After a moment, she frowned.

"There's really nothing happening, not even a small fish or shrimp."

Mu Ye didn't answer, but just looked down at the water at his feet, as if waiting for something.

"It's not that there are no Soul Beast, it's that they're hiding very well. The quietness of this sea area is itself abnormal."

Bai Yuan followed his gaze and saw that the shape of the sky was still reflected on the water.

He saw nothing, but the closing calm itself was the best sign.

Something is moving slowly beneath the surface, but it hasn't decided whether to surface yet.

Mu Ye withdrew his gaze:

"Wait. It will come up by itself."

Bai Yuan didn't ask any further questions, his gaze fixed on the sea beneath his feet.

Gu Yuena stood beside him, sensing the still-unconfirmed outline beneath the water's surface in her own way.

The sea breeze blew from afar, circled between the three of them, and continued flowing forward.

After a while, there was still no movement on the sea surface.

Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly, her gaze landing on Mu Ye with just the right amount of teasing:

Are you sure you have it?

"Mr. Mu Ye."

"He can't even catch fish, and you still believe him?"

Mu Ye's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't reply immediately.

After a moment, he cleared his throat:

"This isn't right. Are these Sea Soul Beast really that intelligent?"

"I clearly sensed their presence."

He took out a jade bottle from his pocket, tilted the bottle slightly, and dripped crimson liquid from the mouth of the bottle into the seawater.

The strong smell of blood spread rapidly along the sea surface.

It gave the surrounding air a viscous texture.

The blood of a high-level Sea Soul Beast is a delicious meal for an injured Soul Beast.

Sea Soul Beast have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, easily detecting the source of blood even from hundreds of miles away.

Bai Yuan looked at the bottle in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:

"Isn't this just baiting the nest?"

He used corn as bait when he went fishing back then!

Mu Ye had already put away the jade bottle, and his gaze returned to the sea.

I think we'll have results soon.

Bai Yuan also withdrew his gaze and focused it on the water at his feet.

The sea breeze blows from afar, carrying the blood that has just fallen into the sea deeper into the water.

It spread slowly.

"Blood!"

"Very nourishing!"

The sea was torn apart at that moment.

The roar erupted from the depths of the sea, carrying immense water pressure and overwhelming power.

The seawater within a radius of several thousand meters trembled violently, and even the surface of the water beneath Bai Yuan's feet rippled with irregular waves.

The sea surface surged wildly, like a small mountain rising from the ground.

"They're here!"

Mu Ye's voice came from behind.

Bai Yuan did not turn around, but gripped the Dawnmaker.

His gaze fell on the massive silhouette that was breaking through the water.

Gu Yuena stood beside him, the six-colored Elemental Light dancing at her fingertips.

There was a hint of seriousness in his voice:

"Pay attention."

When that Deep Sea Demon Whale broke through the water, the sky seemed to darken for a moment.

It is over 100 meters long, with a sapphire-like color all over its body and a deep, cold light flowing across its surface.

The giant eyes on its head, three meters in diameter, stared down at them indifferently.

Like looking at a few tiny specks of dust.

Each of its movements in the sea generates an energy vortex with a diameter of over five kilometers.

The water jets ejected from the vents on its back are powerful enough to reach a height of a kilometer.

And now it just stood there in front of them, like a breathing mountain.

Bai Yuan's gaze lingered on it for a moment.

Then, following the lines on its surface, I noticed some less obvious marks.

Several old wounds that had not yet fully healed were still slowly oozing fine blood from their edges.

In its pursuit of the scent of blood, it carries its own unhealed wounds.

Beings of the Deep Sea Demon Whale level can typically overcome lifespan limitations simply by lurking at the bottom of the deep sea and devouring prey.

The fact that it was able to surface indicates that it was either driven to a desperate situation.

Or perhaps they truly encountered an irresistible temptation.

Bai Yuan's gaze swept over the wounds, following their trail.

Regardless of who hurt it, at least for now.

Its injury presents an opportunity.

"We caught a big fish!!"

Gu Yuena's elemental power was rapidly taking shape before her eyes.

Six-colored light condensed into a spinning vortex in her palm.

The aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale pressed down like an invisible barrier.

Mu Ye stood at the back, his aura as deep and concentrated as a bell that was closing up.

He didn't make a move; his gaze remained fixed on Bai Yuan.

"You make the first move!"

"I'll protect you!"

With its wisdom.

He had already realized that the humans before him were using blood to lure him here.

They want to hunt you down on the spot!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale's eyes widened in fury, and its massive body burst through the sea, charging towards the three of them!

"Humans!"

"Die!"
