Forge your destiny and become an immortal, starting with hunting demons in the deep sea.

The next moment, two more dazzling beams of light appeared behind that streak of light.

The three streaks of light were moving at roughly the same speed, but the two at the back were clearly accelerating and were showing signs of catching up with the one in front.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ye's expression changed. On this vast and boundless sea, the spirit ship was far too conspicuous. There was no way to avoid it, so the only option was to hide.

He moved swiftly, leaping towards the stern of the ship before silently sinking into the sea.

With the help of his innate abilities of breath concealment and water control, Chen Ye can hold his breath for an hour without needing to breathe again, and the cold energy contained in the seawater cannot affect him in any way.

Chen Ye was like a silent fish, lurking beneath the cold surface of the sea.

The streak of light being chased wasn't originally heading directly towards Chen Ye's location. However, upon discovering a spirit ship floating there, it immediately changed direction and headed straight for the spirit ship.

"Phew~~"

A few breaths later, the light fell onto the deck, and as the radiance faded, it revealed a tall and graceful figure.

She was wearing a long, turquoise dress with several visibly torn pieces at the hem, and her body was stained with blood, clearly indicating that she had just been through a fierce battle.

Upon landing on the deck, Gong Yuechan quickly inspected the entire spirit ship. To her surprise, there was no one inside.

"Wasn't this a spirit ship sent by the family to pick me up? But this is clearly a spirit ship built by the family's treasure shipyard!"

Gong Yuechan was puzzled, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment. She took out a pill from the pouch at her waist and swallowed it to quickly replenish the spiritual energy she had consumed.

However, the two cultivators behind her were chasing her at an extremely fast speed. Her spiritual energy had just recovered when they caught up with her immediately.

Gong Yuechan sensed the two auras approaching, pursed her red lips, circulated her spiritual power, and flicked her sleeve backward. A silver streak of light flew out from the sleeve and pierced towards the approaching Zhou family cultivator like lightning!

"Whoosh~"

Amidst the flowing light, a crescent-shaped silver shuttle could be vaguely seen, its sharp, cold gleam seemingly capable of cutting through the very air!

"Hmph, you youngster from the Gong family, do you really think you can stop me with just a top-grade magic weapon?"

Leading the chase was an elderly man from the Zhou family dressed in a black robe. Seeing that Gong Yuechan was desperate and still trying to resist, the old man in the black robe snorted coldly, opened his withered hand, and dense black lines rose from his palm.

These black lines were extremely chaotic, like a tangled mess, but under the old man's control, they quickly crisscrossed in front of him to form several black nets.

Chi Chi Chi!

The Silver Moon Shuttle emitted a sharp light and began to cut rapidly as soon as it entered the black net.

But this black net seemed endless. As soon as one layer was cut open, another layer immediately wrapped around it, until the power of the Silver Moon Shuttle was exhausted, its spiritual light dimmed, and it was firmly entangled by the black net!

"Haha, my Spirit Trapping Net is made from the silk of the Cold Ink Silkworm that lives in the deep sea. Not to mention a mere top-grade magic weapon, even a low-grade spiritual weapon cannot break through it."

The old man in black robes laughed triumphantly and with a backhand swipe took away both the Spirit Trapping Net and Gong Yuechan's Silver Moon Shuttle.

"Third Uncle, quickly subdue this woman! She killed Chen Hai! I must avenge my brother!"

Another cultivator arrived leisurely; he was a man in his thirties wearing magic boots.

He shouted that he wanted to avenge his brothers, but his lecherous eyes were fixed on Gong Yuechan's curvaceous body.

Who would have thought that a woman from the Gong family, who was at the peak of the Spiritual Realm and led a team to besiege a ninth-level Spiritual Realm cultivator, would actually be killed by the enemy!

However, Gong Yuechan had exhausted all her methods in the previous battle and was now at her limit, and would be captured sooner or later.

Furthermore, it should be known that Gong Yuechan is the granddaughter of Gong Lingxuan, the patriarch of the Gong family. She possesses a top-grade water spirit root and has already cultivated to the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm at a young age. Given time, she will surely break through the secret realm!

"If we take her back, the child she bears will also have good cultivation aptitude..."

Zhou Fengyang's eyes swept over Gong Yuechan. Top-grade water spirit root? He wanted to see just how watery it really was!

"Nephew Fengyang, please wait here. This old man will capture this woman alive and make her your Daoist companion!"

As soon as the old man in black robes finished speaking, he once again summoned the Spirit Trapping Net to cover Gong Yuechan. This net could be used to trap weapons or capture people, and its various forms made it difficult to defend against.

Zhou Fengyang, wearing magic boots, slowly landed to the side.

The clan uncle has even used the Spirit Trapping Net, which is specifically designed to counter magical artifacts. It is likely that Gong Yuechan will find it difficult to withstand. If he rushes up rashly, he might easily distract the clan uncle. It would be better for him to wait patiently.

But little did anyone know that just as he was less than ten feet above the sea surface...

Crash!

A figure pierced the water like an arrow, and amidst the surging waves, a fiery sword aura shot into the sky, aiming for Zhou Fengyang's lower body!

When Zhou Fengyang heard the sound of water beneath him, he initially thought it was some ignorant fish or beast, but he was immediately horrified when he sensed the violent sword energy.

There's an ambush!

Zhou Fengyang's expression changed, and he hurriedly manipulated his magic boots to leap into the air, but it was too late.

The sword energy was not only exceptionally sharp, but its timing was also perfect, coinciding with Zhou Fengyang's moment of relaxation.

Just as he rose half a body height, the blazing sword energy arrived like a shadow, entangling his legs.

Pfft pfft~

"ah!!!"

Zhou Fengyang screamed in agony as his legs were sliced ​​into pieces from the knees down.

Moreover, this sword energy seemed to contain some kind of fire poison, which surged into his body through the wound. Zhou Fengyang felt as if his meridians were being burned by flames, and his body was uncontrollably falling downwards.

"Uncle, save me...!"

Before he could finish pleading for help, Chen Ye swung his sword again, cleaving his body in two!

wow~~

The shattered entrails and blood rained down on the sea, instantly turning the surrounding waters red.

On the other side, the old man in black robes was preparing to capture Gong Yuechan alive when he suddenly heard a scream. He quickly turned his head to look and just happened to see the bloody scene of one nephew turning into two nephews.

"Fengyang!"

The old man in black robes roared, his chest burning with rage.

This person was a member of the previous generation of the Zhou family. He had never found a Daoist partner because he was obsessed with cultivation when he was young. Zhou Fengyang was his elder brother's child.

Ten years ago, his elder brother died in an accident, so he took Zhou Fengyang under his wing and personally trained him. Over the years, their relationship has become very deep, even more like that of father and son.

He had planned to find a Daoist partner for his nephew so that he could enjoy his remaining years with grandchildren when his vitality declined. Who would have thought that before he could find a Daoist partner, his nephew would be cleaved in two.

"I'll skin you alive!"

The old man in black robes roared and suddenly summoned two top-grade magic swords, one green and one red, frantically pouring the spiritual power that had been refined into a semi-liquid state within his body into the two swords.

In an instant, the two top-grade magic swords shone brightly, like two demonic dragons, exuding a chillingly sharp aura, and slashed fiercely at Chen Ye from both sides!

Chen Ye's pupils narrowed, and he dared not hesitate for a moment. He quickly took out two Thunderstorm Talismans, activated them, and threw them at the two magic swords that were slashing at him from the air. Then, his figure sank downwards and disappeared into the seawater with a "plop".
