Mortal: The Number One playboy of the Chaotic Star Sea

Chapter 240 Demon Clan Power, Underground Market

The Chaotic Star Sea Demon Clan has the Outer Sea Abyss as its core territory.

Its core overlords are the Jiaolong Clan and the Suanni Clan, with other important forces such as the Yu Clan, Xuan Turtle Clan, and Thunder Whale Clan.

The transformed sea python that Qingfeng Searched for Souls was an vassal of the Jiaolong clan.

According to the human interpretation, they are guest elders of the Jiaolong clan.

"In the abyss, besides the Golden Dragon King of the Jiao Clan, there is another level ten demon beast. This Suanni King and the Thunder Roc of the Feather Clan were both level ten great demons a thousand years ago."

However, several hundred years ago, one of them was severely injured by the two saints, and the other was captured and used as the foundation of the magic array.

This allowed the Golden Flood Dragon King of the Flood Dragon Clan to gradually rise to power and replace the Demon Clan as the strongest.

Qingfeng gained a new understanding of the forces of the outer sea demon race.

The human forces in the Inner Star Sea have little knowledge of the outer seas.

The two saints have been trapped for hundreds of years, the Star Palace is decaying, and intelligence work has come to a standstill.

In recent years, the internal wars have left little time to attend to the situation in the open seas.

He wouldn't have obtained such valuable intelligence if he hadn't killed an old sea serpent from the abyss.

"Two level-ten demon kings, more than ten level-nine demon cultivators, and dozens of level-eight demon beasts—fortunately, these demon beasts don't understand that unity is strength and prefer to fight each other."

Otherwise, if they unite, along with a large number of low-level demonic beasts, they would be a real problem.

Qingfeng analyzed it in his mind.

The order in the Inner Star Sea has only been restored for a few years, and it still needs time to recuperate. It is not advisable to start a large-scale war with the demon race.

"The human race of the Chaotic Star Sea has not produced a god for three thousand years, and the ambition of the Sea Abyss Demon Clan has begun to swell."

The young master of the Suanni was killed, and the true image of the Brahma Saint was lost. The Suanni King launched the Ten Thousand Demon Order, which stirred up a beast tide—those old demon beasts probably knew about the war in the Inner Star Sea.

They wanted to take this opportunity to test the attitudes of the Star Palace Saints and the Taiping Alliance.

They first attacked the humans in the outer seas, then gradually invaded the inner star seas, finally figuring out their strengths and weaknesses before deciding whether to wage a full-scale war against the humans.

It seems there are some strategists among these high-level demonic beasts.

Following the information obtained from the soul search, Qingfeng meticulously pieced together the clues and finally understood the monster's plan.

He thought about it carefully. The demon beast that learned how to do things like humans and knew how to strategize must be the noble bird Feng hope.

"This birdman isn't focusing on refining the Wind and Thunder Wings; instead, he's playing mind games. Looks like we need to close the net early and kill him as soon as possible."

Qingfeng made a hand seal, guiding the evil energy into the Three Gods White Bone Banner once again.

If the problem of the evil energy isn't resolved, he'll be hampered in his actions. After dealing with the evil energy, he'll go to Nanli Island, and then to Qiyuan Island.

Six months later.

In the vast sky above the outer sea, a flock of red-winged bird-like demonic beasts surrounded and relentlessly attacked three Core Formation cultivators who were flying through the air.

Several of these enormous, strange birds possessed the strength of level five demonic beasts. They were several meters tall, with crimson crests on their heads, sharp beaks and claws, and their bodies emitted a dangerous red light.

Faced with such a large number of demonic beasts attacking them, the three human Core Formation cultivators formed a defensive formation, but as their magical power dwindled, their faces grew increasingly pale.

"Are we going to die here today?"

A middle-aged Taoist nun, surrounded by attackers, struggled to defend herself, wielding a whisk.

The other two are also in a bad situation.

"I'll hold them off for a bit, you guys break out from the east side."

An old man activated the copper coin magic weapon in his hand, preparing to unleash a secret technique.

However, before he could make a move, a streak of light, like a shooting star, instantly pierced through the horde of demonic beasts.

Those giant, strange birds were instantly smashed into a pulp by the escape light, which then smeared onto the three people's protective spiritual energy.

"Excuse me, I accidentally killed your leader."

As the light dissipated, a tall and imposing man wiped the blood from his shoulder and looked at the horde of red-winged bird demons.

But it was clear that these monsters were not intelligent. Seeing that their leader was dead, they did not run away, but instead attacked the strong man even more frantically.

"Alas, uncivilized beasts."

The burly man reached out and summoned a thick, blue rod.

With a single sweep of his club, he shattered the remaining demonic beasts and stored the fragments in his storage bag.

The three Core Formation cultivators who witnessed all of this were so shocked that they were speechless.

The horde of monsters that had cornered them was instantly killed by the strong man.

"This old man, Ding Yuan, thanks you for saving me, senior!"

At this moment, the oldest man was the first to react and quickly bowed.

Seeing the old man's posture, the middle-aged Taoist nun and the fat man with big ears also quickly bowed.

The unfamiliar, burly man before them was so powerful that he was very likely a Nascent Soul cultivator!

"I have a question for you. How do I get to Nanli Island Market? It's located in the nearby waters on the nautical chart, but I can't find it."

The burly man crossed his arms and asked in a low, booming voice.

"Senior—Nanli Island Market is gone."

The old man answered quickly.

"That's it?"

The burly man frowned.

"Yes, a few days ago, some demonic beasts discovered the market town on Nanli Island. Although the cultivators on the island who were on guard duty killed most of them, they still let a few escape."

But unexpectedly, the few escaped demonic beasts attracted a large number of high-level demonic beasts of level four or five to attack them the next day.

The cultivators on the island couldn't withstand the attack and split up to break through. The three of us were the guardian elders on the island that day.

The old man looked ashamed as he finished speaking.

It wasn't that they didn't want to resist, but that they were truly no match for the overwhelming siege of the demonic beasts.

"You are the guardian elders of the island, so you must be Yun Tianxiao's subordinates?"

The burly man asked again.

"Yes, the three of us are the guardian elders of the trading company. Senior—is there anything you wish to buy or sell?"

The old man asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'm looking for something."

The burly man nodded and said.

"Senior, although the market on Nanli Island is gone, I do know of a secret market. Rare materials are frequently traded there, but you need an acquaintance to introduce you."

"I am but a humble old man, but I happen to have the authority to make introductions. If you wish to go, I can lead the way, to repay your life-saving grace."

The old man said with a fawning smile.

"Senior, we are also qualified to make introductions and can take you there."

The middle-aged Taoist nun and the fat man with big ears glanced at the old man and also spoke up.

When it comes to currying favor with powerful figures, how can I let someone else beat me to it?

"Oh, the Secret Market? Has the situation for the humans of the outer seas become this dire?"

The burly man frowned, his tone growing colder.

"Alas, senior, you may not know this, but ever since tens of thousands of demonic beasts from the Sea Abyss leveled Qiyuan Island and destroyed Black Stone City..."

Whether it's a village or a small island in the nearby sea, any place that is discovered by demonic beasts will be besieged by a beast tide.

Even large islands protected by several large formations and guarded by thousands of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and the Tenth Stage of the Nascent Soul stage have been breached by beast tides led by high-level demonic beasts.

Now, we cultivators can only hide and eke out a living.

The old man looked dejected and sighed deeply.

"The current dire situation in the outer seas is nothing but the inaction of the Star Palace and that so-called Taiping Alliance. These monsters are so rampant, yet they don't take any action to suppress them."

The middle-aged Taoist nun couldn't hold back and spoke with resentment.
