第一千七百二十三章 愤怒的狂鲨王

Puff...

A mouthful of blood spewed out, quickly transforming into a blood mist. However, he didn't care and reached for another treasure on his waist. It was too late.

A flash of green light, Lin Xuan appeared before him. He stood no more than a foot away, the elder's expression was one of shock, anger, and fear. What kind of escape technique was this? It was far more miraculous than instant teleportation.

Lin Xuan smiled on his face as he extended his right hand and gently pressed it against the elder’s chest: "A late-stage Separation Realm cultivator, how formidable are you? You're not the first or second cultivators of your level that Lin Xuan has killed." Before his words were fully spoken, a trio of colored light rays burst forth from his palm.

Struck by an illusionary fire, even if it was just at the late Separation Realm, let alone a Core Formation Realm monster, death would be inevitable. The elder's fate could only be imagined.

"Ahh!"

A loud and desperate scream. But soon, the sound abruptly stopped. At this moment, the sea surface also calmed down; the gale disappeared. Except for Lin Xuan and his apprentices, within a thousand miles around, there was only that young man in fine clothes.

However, at this moment, he no longer had any of the arrogance or domineering attitude from before: "You, you intend to do what? I am the most beloved son of the King Shark. If you kill me, it will be war with the Sea Clan."

"Is that so?" Lin Xuan smiled: "Are you scaring me?"

"No, no..." As a "pride of heaven," this guy had never been so close to death before. He felt as if all his strength was being drained.

"Junior, I have no such intention. I... I just want to turn enemies into friends."

"Turning enemies into friends? Haha, do you think Lin Xuan is a three-year-old child who would believe such absurd words?" Lin Xuan didn't want to waste time with him. With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light shot out and flickered before transforming into a giant hand.

With fingers like hooks, it fiercely grabbed toward the top of his head.

The King Shark's son wanted to dodge but was only an Incorporeal Soul Realm cultivator. In Lin Xuan’s eyes, he was no different from an ant. The surrounding heavenly essence energy surged and bound him, rendering him immobile. Then, that giant hand took his head off.

The Incorporeal Soul tried to escape but was too late. Lin Xuan wouldn't let a tiger return to the mountains.

As for the storage bag, of course, Lin Xuan had to take it. Although the other party's cultivation wasn’t worth mentioning, as the King Shark’s son, his assets would be quite rich.

This time, killing the Sea Clan should bring some small gains.

The Shangguan sisters were dumbfounded. Their master was too powerful. With so many enemies arriving here, they had been easily eliminated in a casual conversation.

Though their realms were low, both girls were very smart and could deduce from the earlier dialogue that the other party wasn't a fake. The long-bearded elder's realm was even higher than their master’s.

But the outcome was like paper-thin!

Challenging someone of a higher level was just hearsay. They never thought they would witness it firsthand, with their master as the protagonist.

How great and amazing! It seemed that their sisters had truly blessed themselves with an outstanding master.

"Alright, we should leave this place."

Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, his entire body was enveloped in a green glow, wrapping up both girls. He flew off at lightning speed toward the sky.

This time, he didn't use the Spirit Boat.

There was no need; flying artifacts were not sufficiently concealed and too slow.

Due to his state of mind, Lin Xuan valued doing as he pleased but did consider consequences. This young man was the King Shark’s son. The news of him dying in his hands mustn’t leak out. Otherwise, even with his current strength, he couldn't bear the repercussions. Quickly leaving this place was the right choice.

This time, Lin Xuan didn't hide his power and opened up full speed. In just a flash, he vanished into the distant horizon. Although there were no other cultivators within a thousand miles, Lin Xuan's cautious nature led him to avoid returning directly to Turtle Island. Instead, he circled around for several days, changing directions multiple times before finally releasing his Spirit Boat three days later. He took both apprentices with him and set off on the journey home at a steady pace.

The news didn't leak out. Lin Xuan also earnestly instructed the two apprentices not to say anything about it, even to their mother if necessary.

Though young, the girls were as smart as ice and snow. Being native cultivators of this sea region, they knew the significance of killing the King Shark’s son. They nodded repeatedly, vowing never to reveal a word, dead or alive, assuring Lin Xuan that he could rest assured.

Hearing their assurances, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh and sigh. He hadn’t expected his apprentices to be so humorous, but it put him at ease.

However, the news not leaking out didn't mean this matter would remain calm. In fact, just as Lin Xuan had eliminated them, the King Shark received word of what happened.

His son’s life essence bead had inexplicably shattered.

A life essence bead was a special kind of magical weapon with no other uses. But since it was forged from the owner's blood, once the owner died, the bead would automatically destroy itself.

This outcome enraged and alarmed the King Shark. His son had only gone to the Jiangyu Island for the annual market. How could he have encountered danger?

Most high-level Sea Clan cultivators knew his son, and there were few monsters in the vicinity. Could it be that humans did this?

Did they lose their minds?

A grudge against one's father was unforgivable. What about a grudge against one’s own child?

Among the six kings of the Sea Clan, the King Shark wasn't the strongest but was known for his ferocity and ruthlessness. Unlike the Great Whale King, he acted on impulse without much forethought.

Moreover, this incident wasn’t trivial; his son had died at human hands. How could he bear to endure it? Sharks didn't hide their heads!

In just a few days, the King Shark's faction sent numerous high-level cultivators deep into the vast sea region.

This was where humans gathered—there were more than ten thousand cultivators here. Unfortunately, the land was barren, and most residents were scattered independents or small sects, along with third- and fourth-rate families.

Their strength compared to the six kings of the Sea Clan was incomparable.

In just a few days, the辽云派 (Liaoyun Sect), 海镰帮 (Haimian Gang), and Li Family from 清风岛 (Qingfeng Island) among several sects were all bloodily wiped out. Everyone lived in fear.

The Sea Clan was acting with such brazenness; did they really want to provoke a war between the two races?

The vast wilderness trembled, and various rumors spread incessantly.

However, soon people realized the truth. The incident started because of the King Shark’s son's death, and the Sea Clan suspected that their prince had been killed by humans with near certainty!
