Chapter 460: Chapter 261: Instant Slash! The Power of the Transparent Sword Heart! Qingyun True Monarch’s Shock

He had never thought that Qi Chuan possessed such formidable power, able to instantly slash a powerful Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demon in this deep sea.

"And that Splendid Sword Radiance just now, what kind of Divine Technique is it, for even I, at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, to feel a hint of trepidation..."

Whoosh!

Right at that moment, a pure cyan sword light swept over, appearing beside Qingyun True Monarch. A light cluster burst forth from it and then receded, revealing the figure of Qi Chuan holding the Cyan Pure Sword, his face still appearing somewhat calm.

"Apologies, Senior Brother Qingyun, for keeping you waiting." Qi Chuan cupped his hands toward Qingyun True Monarch and apologized.

Qingyun True Monarch turned his head, looking deeply at Qi Chuan, and at this moment, Qi Chuan’s extraordinary genius was once again manifested.

It was at this time that he could finally fully understand why, at the Nascent Soul Advancement Ceremony that day, Qi Chuan could speak so confidently in the Myriad Flowers Hall facing people like Cangjian True Monarch and the True Monarch of Yin and Yang.

Qi Chuan was truly an extraordinary existence.

With a silent sigh, Qingyun True Monarch then spoke: "Due to the massive magical combat fluctuations, the Warning Arrays and Early Warning Devices on both sides of the Sea Abyss must have been triggered. This place is not suitable for long stays; we must leave immediately."

"Alright, let me just go collect that Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Pill." Qi Chuan nodded and then moved again, returning to the Sea Demon’s corpse.

Very quickly, Qi Chuan swiftly collected a Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Pill and took away the high-value materials from the corpse, then returned to Qingyun True Monarch’s side.

Seeing this, Qingyun True Monarch immediately formed a few spells, withdrew his Nightmare Realm Divine Technique, and shouted, "Let’s go!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Immediately, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch transformed into two Escape Lights, quickly ascending towards the sea surface above.

In the deep blue seawater, with the disappearance of the gray mist, the eyes of the three Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons regained clarity, but they were temporarily confused, unable to make sense of the situation.

However, in the next moment, before they could figure out the situation, the three Sea Demons were attracted by the immense smell of blood nearby, their beastly eyes bursting with a bloodthirsty red light.

Roar...

Subsequently, the three Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons fiercely flicked their tails, rushing towards the fallen Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demon corpse and began to ferociously gnaw and devour the two-part corpse, letting the blood in the deep sea spread even further.

Whoosh!

Half a day later, above the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss, appeared the shadow of a fierce-eyed middle-aged man, cloaked in a magnificent High Tier Magic Robe, exuding a dominating and fearsome presence. He was the founding ancestor of Haitang Island’s Broken Sea Sect, Ye Duanhai. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The moment he appeared, his gaze was directed towards the sea surface below.

With his sharp eyes, he could clearly see a large area of faintly colored blood mist still spreading in the depths below the seawater.

"Damn it."

Ye Duanhai cursed under his breath, applied a Water Avoidance Technique to himself, and his figure plunged straight towards the sea surface.

Ye Duanhai first arrived at the seabed on either side of the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss to inspect those Warning Arrays and Early Warning Devices.

The result was finding that all those Warning Arrays and Early Warning Devices had been destroyed.

"Who on earth is so bold as to dare steal resources from me, Ye Duanhai?"

Seeing this scene, Ye Duanhai was utterly aware that this was a premeditated resource theft operation.

Subsequently, he dove into the upper water area of the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss, where only a large amount of faint blood mist remained. The Sea Demon’s corpse was long gone, having been entirely devoured by the other three Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons, with its white bones sinking to the bottom of the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss.

Ye Duanhai grabbed a handful of faint blood mist and sniffed it before his nose, immediately frowning slightly, "It was left by a Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demon, and that person actually slew a Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demon here?"

Afterward, Ye Duanhai descended to the bottom of the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss.

He wanted to investigate the remaining resources below.

However, after a cautious search, he soon returned empty-handed.

Because of previous tremendous upheavals, the Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons at the bottom of the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss had been startled and would go into a frenzy at any minor disturbance.

Thus, Ye Duanhai only dared to observe cautiously from a distance and in the end, could only ascertain that three Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons remained below. As for how much High Tier Spirit Materials were left in the Lingshan District, that remained unknown.

Seeing this, Ye Duanhai could only curse irritably, "I hope the amount of stolen High Tier Spirit Materials isn’t too much, and please don’t let me find out who the thief is, otherwise I’ll make sure he can’t live or die peacefully!"

He desperately wanted to find out who committed the theft, but unfortunately, those who came to steal were very experienced, leaving no traces.

Thus, Ye Duanhai could only proceed to re-deploy those Warning Arrays and Early Warning Devices, while contemplating whether to employ additional preventive measures to prevent the remaining High Tier Spirit Materials from falling victim to thieves again.

In the meantime, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch were happily on their way back to Beihua State.

During the journey, Qingyun True Monarch inquired of Qi Chuan, "Junior Brother Qi Chuan, why did it take you so long to ascend from the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss? If not for your strength, it could have been quite dangerous then."

"Oh, that’s because of this," Qi Chuan took out a piece of Tier Four Middle Grade Metal from his Qiankun Bag and said, "Originally, my time should have been enough, but I discovered a rather nice spiritual ore below the Lingshan District, yielding quite a good harvest."

"Altogether, I found eight pieces of Tier Four Lower Grade Metal, three pieces of Tier Four Middle Grade Metal, and even one piece of Tier Four Upper Grade Metal!"

"What, is that really so?" Upon hearing this, Qingyun True Monarch was greatly surprised and delighted.

Finding a spiritual ore was one thing, but the key point was that this spiritual ore was so rich, containing so many pieces of Tier Four Metal, and even having one piece of Tier Four Upper Grade Metal!

This kind of harvest was entirely unexpected for him, as even if it were just for these Tier Four Metals alone, without considering the High Tier Spirit Materials, it was enough reason for both of them to stage a theft.

In other words, Qi Chuan merely extended the time of an incense stick’s burning slightly, achieving double or even triple the harvest.

That was truly worthwhile.

"What about the High Tier Spirit Materials?" Subsequently, Qingyun True Monarch asked again.

"The High Tier Spirit Materials, well, there are thirty-eight Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Grass Materials, eleven Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Grass Materials, and three Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Herb Materials," Qi Chuan replied, even tossing a few Qiankun Bags directly to Qingyun True Monarch for him to inspect.

"Did you really gather up all the High Tier Spirit Materials?" Upon seeing so many High Tier Spirit Materials, Qingyun True Monarch was naturally delighted.

In his estimation, for Qi Chuan to collect such a large amount of High Tier Spirit Materials while also acquiring the Tier Four Metal Materials was quite remarkable.

Even if Qingyun himself were to carry out the task, he probably wouldn’t have done as well as Qi Chuan.

"Senior Brother Qingyun, I have a request, and I hope Senior Brother can grant it." At this moment, Qi Chuan suddenly spoke up.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, feel free to ask." Qingyun True Monarch waved his hand, indicating that after Qi Chuan had completed the mission so perfectly, even exceeding expectations, he would naturally agree to any reasonable request.

Moreover, as both were Dual Nascent Souls of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, their glory was mutual. Even without this perfect operation, any reasonable request from Qi Chuan would naturally not be refused.

"Then I’ll speak plainly," Qi Chuan said, "Senior Brother Qingyun, I do not insist on that Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Pill or any of the Tier Four Spirit Grass Materials, but I hope to obtain these Tier Four Metal Materials as they are extremely important to me. I wonder if Senior Brother can agree?"

After speaking, Qi Chuan fixed his gaze intently on Qingyun True Monarch, waiting for the latter’s response.
