Chapter 937: Chapter 905: Intimidation, Kui Star Island

The feeling from the other party was not one of familiarity, but rather a sense of strangeness, as if facing a ghost.

"A transformed demon beast, it must be at least at the Golden Core stage."

A loose cultivator exclaimed.

What kind of luck is this today, first encountering a group of Red-striped Octopuses, and now, not long after driving them away, there’s a shark at least at the Golden Core stage.

Are there so many high-tier demon beasts in the Chaotic Sea?

Usually, you wouldn’t encounter even one, but now there are several.

"We were just passing through, please don’t make things difficult for us."

Yang Zhixian tried his best to stay calm and took the initiative to respond, hoping to resolve the crisis without resorting to violence.

The Deep Sea Demon Shark coldly glanced at Yang Zhixian, then looked at Zhang Mingyi, the Yang Family cultivators, and a group of loose cultivators one by one.

When its gaze fell on Shanshan, there was a glimmer of interest in its eyes, so much so that it completely ignored the presence of Lu Ping.

"Why do you serve the weak human race when you’re also part of the demon race?"

The Deep Sea Demon Shark spoke, its tone full of displeasure and questioning, as it perceived Shanshan standing beside Lu Ping, it guessed that Shanshan belonged to the human race.

"Who I hang out with is none of your business!"

Shanshan was not one to be trifled with, immediately glaring as she responded.

"Hmph, a mere Golden Core stage dares speak to me like that, interesting, truly interesting."

The Deep Sea Demon Shark grinned, looking even more eerie, making one’s heart shudder.

Upon hearing this, Shanshan showed no sign of fear but instead put her hands on her hips, looking angrily at the Deep Sea Demon Shark, saying, "None of your business!"

"Quite a temper."

The Deep Sea Demon Shark increasingly wanted to subdue Shanshan, to keep her around like a guard, and without rushing to take action, the smile on its face grew wider, saying.

"I’ll give you a chance to live; go kill these human pests and pledge allegiance to me, how about it?"

The surrounding Yang Family cultivators, upon hearing this, quickly understood that Shanshan was a Golden Core stage demon beast, transformed into the current appearance of a young girl.

They inherently feared transformed demon beasts, subconsciously viewing demon beasts as the enemy.

However, seeing Shanshan stand by Lu Ping’s side, they quickly realized she was Lu Ping’s contract spirit beast.

With that, they weren’t so worried.

What amazed them was, since Shanshan was at least a Golden Core stage demon beast, what level of strength did her master, Lu Ping, possess?

Zhang Mingyi and Lin Xiaohui, knowing Lu Ping’s strength, were not panicked at all, knowing that this Deep Sea Demon Shark was walking to its doom, coming to hit an iron plate.

Not to mention making Shanshan defect and become its follower; it was unlikely to protect itself and would become Lu Ping’s subordinate demon beast.

At this moment, it depended on whether Lu Ping would take action.

In front of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, trying to seize another’s spirit beast was not provocation, what was it?

Lu Ping’s frown deepened as he looked directly at the Deep Sea Demon Shark, saying nothing.

"Master, this dumb fish is too arrogant, I don’t want to keep talking with it, acting like it’s something impressive."

Shanshan said angrily, clearly showing that betraying Lu Ping to join the other side was impossible.

"If you are not willing to surrender, then I will kill him, and you will obediently follow me."

With these words, the Deep Sea Demon Shark raised its hand and launched a fierce Nascent Soul stage aura at Lu Ping, intending to crush Lu Ping with this power.

This seemingly casual blow was unbearable for those below the Nascent Soul stage.

However, after its power enveloped Lu Ping, not only did it have no effect, but it was also suppressed.

This made it exclaim in surprise and increase its power output, but the result remained the same, feeling like its unleashed power was a mere stream while the opponent was the vast ocean.

Both in the Nascent Soul stage, the Deep Sea Demon Shark suddenly realized what this meant.

"How is that possible!"

At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Shark’s expression changed dramatically, losing its previous arrogant demeanor.

"You want her to follow you?"

Lu Ping finally spoke, sounding calm, but in the Deep Sea Demon Shark’s ears, it caused immediate distress.

Not having the slightest desire to stay, the Deep Sea Demon Shark, as if seeing a god of slaughter, turned and dove into the sea, not wanting to linger another moment.

"Weren’t you arrogant? Why are you running?"

Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Shark retreat in shock, Shanshan snorted twice, shouting, "With you, you can’t even beat Sister Xutian, let alone contend with my master."

All around, having witnessed the Deep Sea Demon’s proud posture turn to fleeing, Yang Zhixian and the others were dumbfounded, looking at one another.

That was a Nascent Soul stage demon beast; they might only see one in their lives, and they feared it as much as possible.

Even thinking they would die here, with no chance of survival.

Yet, such a Nascent Soul demon beast, after confronting Lu Ping, was scared away.

Thus, how powerful was Lu Ping’s strength, one might ponder?

Suddenly, Lu Ping became the center of attention; Zhang Mingyi’s face showed pride, for this was their ancestor.

The ancestor of the Cyan Mountain Sect, who was also the ancestor of their Zhang Family.

"Senior."

Yang Zhixian was the first to react, bowing to Lu Ping, saying, "Thank you, senior, for your assistance."

Yang Zhixian’s response prompted the Yang Family cultivators to mimic, bowing to Lu Ping gratefully.

For family cultivators, befriending powerful figures outside of their family was beneficial, even more so with someone like Lu Ping, a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

...

An hour later, the Azure Dragon sailed out of the Chaotic Sea and entered the Outer Sea.

Upon entering this unfamiliar sea, Lu Ping could feel the previously chaotic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fade away, replaced by dense Water Attribute Spiritual Qi.

Many cultivators on board took this opportunity to meditate, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to replenish their magical power.

The Azure Dragon continued its course for over ten days, and on this day finally arrived at its destination.

This place was called Kui Star Island, one of the larger spirit islands in the Outer Sea, with a Tier Five High-grade Spiritual Vein.

According to Yang Zhixian, Lu Ping learned that the island master was Kui Star True Monarch, also a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The battle supplies on this ship were to be placed at the dock of Kui Star Island.

The Kui Star Island cultivators had already received a message and were waiting there, Yang Zhixian leading Lu Ping off the ship, followed by Zhang Mingyi and others.
