Liu Changxu's soul-searching did not last long before trouble found him midflight!
With his thoughts tangled into a knotted mess, Liu Changxu suddenly spotted a group of enormous black creatures on the sea a hundred li ahead. Their towering, sickle-shaped dorsal fins rose and vanished amid the waves, as terrifying as the gates of hell!
