I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

"We're almost there."

We're almost at Poseidon Island.

Something's up.

At this moment, Li Hanshan sensed something was wrong; there were signs of battle ahead.

His sixth-level Nascent Soul consciousness spread out like an invisible net, instantly revealing the scene before him. The familiar outline of Seagod Island appeared at the edge of his vision, and the giant tortoise, its massive, island-like body, was half-floating on the sea surface, its enormous head held high, fiercely battling a three-headed, jet-black serpent.

The giant serpent was even larger than before, its body shrouded in dense demonic energy. Its three heads simultaneously spewed out dark green venom and dark beams of demonic power, relentlessly bombarding the giant tortoise's neck and carapace. Although the giant tortoise possessed formidable defense, its movements were noticeably slower than before, and several bleeding wounds had appeared on its neck.

"That's the three-headed giant serpent that attacked Seagod Island back then," Li Hanshan recognized it. "Several years have passed, and its cultivation has reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage."

The giant tortoise had clearly been fighting for quite some time, and its energy was waning. The three-headed serpent's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and one of its heads suddenly bit into the old wound on the tortoise's neck, causing dark red blood to gush out and stain the surrounding seawater a murky dark color.

Li Hanshan didn't hesitate any longer. He turned to Yin Lingyue, who was standing at the bow of the boat: "You make the move, I'll cover for you."

Yin Lingyue didn't waste any words. Her figure transformed into a gray streak of light, shooting out from the bow of the flying boat like a dark blade tearing through the night, heading straight for the three-headed giant serpent that was churning on the sea.

Her deep purple outfit fluttered in the night wind, and her dark purple eyes held a sharp edge that had been pent up for too long and was finally being released. She made a hand seal, and a gray-black Yin Sha chain shot out from her palms, precisely wrapping around the neck of the snake head in the middle.

The giant serpent, focused on suppressing the giant tortoise, was caught off guard by this sudden attack. The central serpent head, tightly bound by chains, let out a deafening roar. Simultaneously, the two other serpent heads turned towards Yin Lingyue, opening their massive jaws and unleashing two jets of dark green venom like arrows towards her. Yin Lingyue coldly snorted, her body flipping in mid-air to dodge the venom while the chains tightened sharply. The bound serpent head grew increasingly constricted by the chains, its roar becoming hoarse.

Seeing that someone was helping, the giant tortoise slightly turned its massive head towards the direction of Yin Lingyue, a glint of light flashing in its yellowish eyes. It let out a low growl, as if expressing gratitude, and then, taking advantage of the giant snake's distraction, it suddenly stretched out its neck and bit the base of the snake's head on the left.

Two attacks landed simultaneously. The giant serpent's left head was bitten by the giant turtle, while its middle head was entangled by Yin Lingyue's chains. Only its right head could move freely, but it was overwhelmed, spraying venom everywhere but unable to mount an effective counterattack. Yin Lingyue gave its opponent no chance to breathe. A second chain shot out from her other palm, precisely wrapping around the neck of the right head. The giant serpent finally lost all ability to resist. All three heads were tightened by the chains, and its massive body thrashed violently on the sea, creating waves tens of meters high.

Li Hanshan stood on the flying boat, not making a move, but simply using his sixth-level Nascent Soul stage divine sense to lock onto the entire sea area. His divine sense was like an invisible net, covering every inch of the sea surface within a hundred miles, ensuring that no second sea beast would launch a sneak attack at this moment.

"She's actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

The Second Elder was once again taken aback.

She was unaware of Yin Lingyue's cultivation level.

Now she realized that the mere fact that Yin Lingyue was a Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't actually that shocking. The key was that Yin Lingyue, this Nascent Soul cultivator, was so obedient to Li Hanshan.

Not only that, but she had even heard Yin Lingyue call Li Hanshan "master" before!

day!

At this moment, the Second Elder felt that this world was absurd, or that he had been dreaming all along. That was a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he recognize Li Hanshan as his master?

"She had no choice," Li Hanshan said calmly. "Her life and death are in my hands. If she disobeys, she will die."

These words made the Second Elder take a deep breath. She realized that from now on, her fate would probably be inextricably linked with Li Hanshan's.

However, judging from Li Hanshan's current behavior, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to be tied to him.

The battle drew to a close after lasting about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Yin Lingyue's chains had completely bound the giant serpent's three heads, and the dark gray Yin energy surged into the serpent's body along the chains, corroding its meridians and demon core. The giant serpent's struggles grew weaker and weaker, finally letting out a low, mournful cry before its massive body crashed into the sea, sending up waves dozens of feet high.

Yin Lingyue tightened the chains, dragged the giant snake's corpse out of the sea, and threw it onto a protruding reef in front of the flying boat. She landed at the bow, tidied her slightly disheveled hair, her expression calm, as if she had only done a trivial matter.

On Poseidon Island, Hua Nongying, Yun Shuyue, Liu Ruoxue, Han Yan, and other women watched this scene. Hua Nongying even forgot to smoke her pipe, her gaze fixed on Yin Lingyue, her beautiful eyes filled with barely suppressed shock: "Nascent Soul... This woman beside Han Lang is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

They had naturally seen Yin Lingyue, but none of them knew that she was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yun Shuyue nodded silently, her eyes also filled with a complex expression. Liu Ruoxue didn't speak, but for the first time, an undisguised astonishment appeared in her cold eyes.

At the same time, there is also a deep sense of pride.

Her man is so outstanding!

Yin Lingyue turned to Li Hanshan, her tone flat: "It's resolved."

She is quite strong. This time, she didn't even need to use the Corpse Dissection technique to deal with the three-headed giant snake, otherwise it would have been easier to defeat it.

This was something she did deliberately, to show Li Hanshan just how powerful she was. But her purpose in doing so was not to please Li Hanshan, but rather a display of stubbornness and defiance.

Li Hanshan nodded: "Well done." He turned and flew to the reef, squatting down beside the giant snake's corpse. His gaze swept over the snake's body, sensing the rich blood energy contained within, and he nodded inwardly.

Just then, a very subtle ripple came from beneath the surface of the sea. A white shadow rose from the deep sea, like a shooting star streaking across the water, and in the blink of an eye, it darted to the edge of the reef. The little beast, soaking wet, jumped onto the reef, water droplets clinging to its snow-white fur, the tuft of golden fur on its forehead gleaming slightly, and its dark, bright eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Little beast!

This little guy actually hid in the sea, and hid so well.

It circled around Li Hanshan's feet, then rubbed its little head against his trouser leg, making a clear "ee" sound, and pointed its little paws at the giant snake's head—the location of the demon core.

Li Hanshan raised his hand and rubbed its little head, then took out the fist-sized demon core from the snake's skull and handed it to the little beast: "Here, for you."

The little beast cried out happily, picked up the demon core, which was larger than its head, with its tiny paws, and swallowed it in a few gulps. After swallowing it, it let out a comfortable burp, curled up on the reef, and closed its eyes contentedly. Its aura began to fluctuate slightly, and a very faint golden halo appeared on its fur. Clearly, the Nascent Soul demon core had begun to take effect within its body.

Li Hanshan didn't disturb it, but gently picked it up. He knew that when the little beast woke up again, things would probably change again.
