Unfortunately, It Was Too Late!

Now, everything is gone.

The son's cold body was probably piled up in some dark corner of the hold, along with several other corpses, waiting to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, like garbage.

The mastermind behind all of this is that seemingly calm young man outside who actually controls their lives, and his terrifyingly powerful companions!

"You... killed my son..."

Haider was roaring inside, the silent screams making his eardrums buzz, and the twisted muscles on his face twitched and throbbed wildly, like dying earthworms.

He Bite his back teeth so hard that his gums almost bled.

"You ruined everything I had... you ruined my future... you damned nobles! You damned Soul Master! By what right?! By what right do you, high and mighty, decide our lives and deaths at will?!"

Fear?

Yes, he was afraid of death, extremely afraid.

Lin Xia's unfathomable strength, his cold and ruthless eyes, and his ability to easily seal his Soul Power all made him tremble to the bone.

So when death loomed, he instinctively begged for mercy, knelt down, and pleaded like a dog.

That's the instinct for survival in living beings; it's irresistible.

But at this moment, as the initial, instinctive fear subsided slightly, the insane hatred ignited by the pain of losing his child, a hatred powerful enough to destroy everything, completely engulfed him like the hottest magma at the bottom of the sea.

The instinct for survival was replaced by a more primal and violent desire—revenge! Mutual destruction!

"You want me to send you to Sea God Island? Dream on!"

In Haider's bloodshot eyes, the last glimmer of reason was extinguished, leaving only pure, destructive madness.

"You want to go to Sea God Island? Fine! I'll send you there! I'll send you to the hellish Sea God Island! I'll make you pay with your lives for my son! Go to hell together!"

His gaze, like a poisoned hook, was fixed on the deep darkness outside the porthole.

In his mind, a detailed map of the distribution of Sea Soul Beast clearly emerged.

That was his life-saving charm accumulated over decades of life on the run at sea, and now it was also his death warrant.

On that map, there was a forbidden zone marked in blood red, a place that terrified all Sea Soul Master — the Demonic Whale Sea Area!

He remembered clearly that the route map Lin Xia gave him, the "safe" route to Sea God Island drawn by the Grandmaster, happened to glide right past the edge of this restricted area.

At this moment, regarding the Sea Demon's location... Haider silently calculated the speed, time, and direction in his mind, a ferocious smile spreading across his lips, like that of a demon.

"Almost there... almost there..."

He grinned silently, his hand gripping the steering wheel no longer trembling, but instead, veins bulged and knuckles turned white from excessive force, exuding a morbid stability.

"Little Jerry, don't worry... Daddy will have them all come to keep you company soon..."

On the ship's side, Lin Xia was enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, trying to sketch out the various legends of Sea God Island in her mind.

Suddenly, a chilling sensation, like a cold, venomous snake, shot up from his spine and spread instantly to every part of his body!

This chill didn't come from the cold sea breeze outside, but from within my own body!

Lin Xia's pupils suddenly contracted, and her mental power erupted instantly.

The feeling was so clear, so deadly, far surpassing any threat he had faced with Haider before!

"No! There's definitely danger!"

Lin Xia's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition overwhelmed him like an icy tide.

He turned around abruptly, his sharp, hawk-like gaze Infiltrator the glass of the control room and Lock-On onto Haider was at the helm!

Inside the control room, Haider seemed to sense the unusual white light outside as well.

He slowly turned his head, his face no longer blank, nor the previous fawning or fear, but a strange calm mixed with madness, resentment, and an almost liberated feeling.

Through the glass, he met Lin Xia's cold, scrutinizing gaze, and the corners of his mouth slowly twitched upwards, revealing an extremely twisted and malicious smile.

That smile was filled with the exhilaration and madness of finally getting revenge!

Alarm bells rang in Lin Xia's mind!

Without further hesitation, he moved with lightning speed, rushing towards the control room and yanking open the hatch!

"Haider!"

Lin Xia's voice was as cold as a knife, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Is there a problem with our course? Where are we now?"

Haider did not avoid Lin Xia's gaze, but instead spoke in an almost chanting tone, with a frenzied rhythm.

"My lord, you've finally discovered it? Too bad... it's too late."

His smile widened, and a sickly light gleamed in his eyes.

"Our course? Of course it's correct. I executed the map you provided perfectly. Our current location... what a beautiful name... the Demonic Whale Sea Area."

"The Demonic Whale Sea Area?"

"Yes, the Demonic Whale Sea Area."

Haider's voice carried a strange excitement.

"The reason this sea area is the darkest is because beneath it... lies a terrifying trench thousands of meters deep! And at the very depths of this trench lies a true overlord of the sea... a being of the hundred-thousand-year age! The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"

Lin Xia's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head!

This isn't a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast!

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is Soul Beast with a lifespan of 990,000 years!

"Why don't you go around it? Do you want to die too?"

Lin Xia's voice suddenly rose, filled with Thunder Fury. The white light on the Clear Sky Hammer surged, and the icy killing intent almost solidified, Lock-On Haider firmly!

If he makes the slightest move, Lin Xia will not hesitate to kill him!

"Go around it? Hahaha!"

Haider seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and burst into hysterical laughter that echoed through the cramped control room, filled with madness.

"Didn't you say we need to get to Sea God Island as soon as possible? Taking a detour? That would waste too much time!"

"And... did you know? This Demon Whale King is very lazy. He usually just sits on the seabed with his mouth open, waiting for food to be delivered to him... unless..."

Haider's smile turned incredibly sinister and malicious as he abruptly pointed to the dark waters below the ship.

"Unless... someone deliberately disturbs its sweet dreams! For example... by leaving some 'little Present's in its territory!"

As if to confirm his words, the instant Haider finished speaking—

"Boom! Boom! Boom--!"

Several muffled, deafening roars, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the Sea Demon's hull, suddenly resounded!

The sound wasn't earth-shattering, but it possessed a chilling, Infiltrator power, as if a giant hammer had slammed into everyone's hearts!

The entire massive hull of the Sea Demon was as if it had been violently thrown upwards by an invisible giant hand, and then slammed down heavily!

The violent tremors made Lin Xia lose her balance, and items in the control room crashed to the floor! The oil lamp went out instantly!

"What did you do?!"

Lin Xia's eyes were bloodshot with rage. She reached out and instantly pressed her hand against Haider's chest, pinning him firmly against the bulkhead!

The chilling killing intent almost froze his soul!
