Abyss Sea Butterfly Appears

Song Wen took out his Pill Furnace and began Alchemy as if no one else was around. He was going to refine a third-tier Demon-Luring Powder.

With six Shadow Gu monitoring the area, Song Wen wasn't afraid of the Cui Family suddenly breaking into the Cave where he was hiding.

As for Cui Qiao, Song Wen didn't take her seriously at all.

The process of refining the Demon-Luring Powder went smoothly, and three days later, the Demon-Luring Powder was successfully refined.

Song Wen Demon-Luring Powder into a jade box, walked out of the Cave, and came to the foot of a reef dozens of miles away. He found a crevice between the rocks and put the jade box into it.

There was a small hole in the jade box, through which the Demon-Luring Powder slowly escaped.

Song Wen retreated to a place forty miles away and hid in an underwater cave.

As the Demon-Luring Powder, some sea creatures were gradually drawn to it.

These creatures were mostly sea beasts that had not yet reached the next level. They swam around outside the gap where the jade box was placed, with only a few small sea beasts squeezing into the gap.

However, the jade box was specially made and very sturdy. Small sea monsters could not destroy it at all; they could only surround it.

As time went by, more and more sea creatures gathered.

Reef Sea, sea surface.

The four Golden Core cultivators from the Cui Family frowned.

Cui Qiao has mysteriously disappeared!

They were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead!

Three full days passed, and they searched the entire waters around the Reef Island, but found no trace of it.

Cui Qiao's mysterious disappearance forced the entire trial to a halt.

Before the cause of Cui Qiao's disappearance was determined, the four dared not allow other Lineage members to continue the trials; otherwise, these Lineage members might also encounter the same danger.

"Cui San, did you recognize the identity of the cultivator from Limitless Island you encountered earlier?" a Peak Golden Core Stage cultivator asked.

This man was Cui Qiao's biological grandfather, Cui Gu.

All the major powers in the Sea of Disorder collect intelligence on other powers. Since the number of Golden Core cultivators in each power is limited, intelligence on Golden Core cultivators is easy to gather.

Cui San shook his head. "Among the information on the Golden Core cultivators of Limitless Island, there is no one whose appearance matches that person's. I suspect that his appearance is not his true face, but a disguise. Furthermore, he only mentioned Limitless Island, but did not admit to being from Limitless Island."

"This is troublesome. Cui Qiao is most likely in his hands, and we don't know if she's alive or dead."

Cui Gu's tone was filled with deep worry, clearly showing that he cared a great deal about Cui Qiao.

Cui San said, "It was my fault for not taking good care of Cui Qiao."

Cui Gu, "This matter is not your fault. It was Cui Qiao who acted too arrogantly and domineeringly, which aroused the resentment of that Golden Core cultivator."

Cui San said, "It's not a solution for us to stay here. I'll go search the surrounding area again."

After saying that, Cui San dived into the sea.

Cui Gu said to the other two Golden Core cultivators, "You two stay here and guard our clansmen. I'll go search again. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to end this trial."

Cui San arrived at the seabed and quickly noticed the anomaly near the Demon-Luring Incense.

The sea creatures and fish from dozens of miles around are all attracted here, making it difficult to miss.

Cui San did not act rashly. After contacting Cui Gu with Message Jade Slip, he hid among the reefs and pillars at a depth of more than ten miles from the seabed and observed in secret.

Soon after, Cui Gu also arrived at his hiding place.

"Is this the scent of Demon-Luring Incense?" Cui Gu transmitted his voice so as not to disturb the many fish and beasts below.

Cui San replied telepathically, "It is indeed Demon-Luring Incense, and a third-tier Demon-Luring Incense at that. Who could have done this?"

Cui Gu, "It should be the Golden Core cultivator you encountered."

Cui San said, "He knew our Cui Family was here, so why did he do this? Did he deliberately lure us here?"

Cui Gu, "I can't guess what this person is thinking either. However, it seems very likely that Cui Qiao is still alive."

Cui San asked, "What should we do next?"

Cui Gu, "Let's wait and see what this person's purpose is."

About 15 minutes later, the seabed, which had been quite calm, suddenly began to surge.

A gigantic, monstrous fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The strange fish was several meters long, with a wide mouth covered with fine teeth, and two fins on its belly that looked like a pair of strong arms. Most peculiarly, its tail was not a fish tail, but two long hind legs that resembled a toad.

"Even Late Third Rank Toad Shark has been attracted here. What exactly does that person want to do?" Cui San asked in surprise via telepathy.

Cui Gu frowned, his face full of puzzlement, staring intently at the movements on the seabed.

The Toad Shark opened its huge mouth, pushed off with its feet, and sped toward the crevice where the Demon-Luring Powder was located.

Countless sea monsters were swallowed by the Toad Shark.

The fish-beast's hard shell was easily crushed by the sharp teeth in its mouth.

The fish and beasts that hadn't been swallowed scattered like birds and beasts.

The Toad Shark didn't give chase. It came to the front of the crevice and suddenly rammed into the reef, trying to take out the jade box containing the Demon-Luring Powder.

"Bang!"

Rocks splashed.

The seawater surged.

Instead of falling out of the crevice, the jade box was carried by the surging seawater and fell deeper into the crevice.

The Toad Shark gently shook its enormous head a few times. The reefs deep in the sea, constantly subjected to immense water pressure, had become exceptionally hard, and the impact had left it somewhat disoriented.

But the allure of the third-tier Demon-Luring Incense made the Toad Shark unwilling to give up. It opened its mouth wide, and a long tongue covered with barbs suddenly shot out.

Its long tongue moved with lightning speed, forcefully piercing through the hard reef and drilling into the crevices.

Just as the long tongue was about to retract into the jade box, a sudden change occurred.

A Demon Beast that looked somewhat like a large moth and somewhat like an octopus suddenly appeared.

This demon is blackish-purple, with a sharp mouthpart, its body covered with tumor-like protrusions, and a pair of fleshy wings on its back. The half-zhang-long fleshy wings look extremely strange and disproportionate to its five-zhang-long body.

Its tail has five thick tentacles covered with barbs and suckers.

What's most eye-catching is its pair of eyes.

Its eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, as if someone had lit two enormous blood-red lanterns in the dark seabed.

This was a peak third-tier Demon Beast. It swung its five tentacles at the end of its tail and swept them toward the Toad Shark.

The Toad Shark was startled by the strange Demon Beast that suddenly appeared. It kicked away the two tentacles that were charging at the front with its legs, and then accelerated forward.

At the same time, the Toad Shark, knowing it was no match for the other fish, flicked its long tongue and threw the jade box away.

Seeing this, the tentacles stopped chasing the Toad Shark and turned to roll towards the jade box.

Forty miles away, Song Wen, who was hiding in a cave, had a glint in his eyes.

"Abyss Sea Butterfly! Sure enough, an Abyss Sea Butterfly dwells among these reefs."
