Inside the teahouse's private room, the delicate aroma of tea filled the air, isolating the outside noise.
Lan Fuzi held a cup of hot tea, sipping it slowly, but her bright eyes would occasionally glance at Jiang Zhen, who was calm and composed across from her.
"Hey, what's your decision yet?"
She put down her teacup, leaned forward slightly, and wore a sly yet expectant smile.
"The guide fee is very reasonable, I guarantee you'll find those pesky Evil Spirit Orca s!"
Jiang Zhen found her feigned shrewdness somewhat amusing.
He said no more, and with a thought, an extremely dazzling ice-blue light suddenly bloomed in his palm.
In an instant, the temperature inside the private room plummeted, and a thin layer of frost even condensed on the surface of the hot tea in the cup.
A pure, ancient energy, containing the essence of endless ice, permeated the air, making the small private room resemble an ice cave wonderland.
Lan Fuzi's smile froze instantly, replaced by utter shock and disbelief.
She suddenly stood up, her eyes wide open, staring intently at the strange crystal pillar in Jiang Zhen's hand, about a foot long, crystal clear, with what seemed to be thousands of ice stars flowing inside.
"This...this is..."
Her voice trembled slightly. As a deep-sea demon whale, her perception of energy far surpassed that of ordinary soul masters or soul beasts.
She could feel a longing emanating from that icy blue crystal pillar that made her soul tremble!
This thing was an incomparably nourishing substance for her, its value far exceeding any rare and precious treasures she knew!
"Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow".
Jiang Zhen calmly uttered its name.
"You lead me to the habitat of the Evil Spirit Orca s, and this will be your reward after the deed is done."
Lan Fuzi swallowed hard, his gaze almost unable to leave the ice marrow.
She forcibly suppressed the desire in her heart, tilted her head, and spoke in a tone that was half-joking and half-testing.
With a smile, she asked, "Wow...you just took out such a precious treasure like that?"
"Aren't you afraid... I'll just snatch it and run away? You're just a lowly Soul King, you're no match for me!"
She deliberately released a faint aura belonging to a 150,000-year-old soul beast, attempting to put some pressure on Jiang Zhen.
However, Jiang Zhen's expression did not change at all, as if that terrifying aura was just a gentle spring breeze.
He smiled faintly, put away the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow, and the chill in the private room dissipated.
"Since I dared to take it out, I'm naturally not afraid."
He looked at Lan Fuzi with clear eyes, his tone carrying a peculiar certainty.
"Besides, I believe you are not that kind of person. Your eyes are pure."
Lan Fuzi was slightly taken aback. Looking at the other person's calm and trusting eyes, she felt inexplicably uneasy, followed by a warm feeling of being trusted and a little embarrassed.
She was just bluffing; she would never actually kill someone to steal their treasure.
"Hmph, at least you have some good taste!"
She raised her chin, sat down again, and concealed the turmoil within her.
"Alright, alright, seeing how sincere you are... cough cough, I'll go through the trouble of taking you to teach those bastards a lesson!"
The deal was struck, and the two of them didn't delay any longer.
After paying for the tea, they left Vast Sea City and arrived at a deserted coastline.
"Hold on tight, or I won't be responsible if you fall!"
Lan Fuzi said with a smile, and a rich blue halo emanated from her body. A gentle yet powerful soul force lifted her and Jiang Zhen, transforming them into a stream of light that shot towards the vast and boundless depths of the sea.
Jiang Zhen did not use the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone Technique.
She flies extremely fast and is exceptionally familiar with the air currents and energy distribution at sea, always finding the most energy-efficient path.
Along the way, Lan Fuzi seemed very excited, chattering about her experiences at sea and pointing out the occasional giant sea spirit beasts that appeared below to Jiang Zhen, like a little girl going on a spring outing.
Jiang Zhen mostly listened quietly, occasionally responding with a word or two.
Two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.
The seawater below grew increasingly darker, gradually changing from azure to deep blue and finally to inky black, as if an endless abyss lay hidden beneath.
The energy in the air also became turbulent, carrying a faint but powerful aura.
"Almost there!"
Lan Fuzi slowed down and pointed ahead to a Vast Sea that appeared calm but was actually turbulent with undercurrents.
"Look, this is the area, one of the dens of those stinky Evil Spirit Orca s. There are quite a few of them, and they often patrol and hunt in this area."
She floated in the air, opened her fair palm towards Jiang, and said with a smile:
"How about I pay you first? Don't worry, I guarantee my integrity; I won't run away with the money!"
Jiang Zhen glanced at her, and without hesitation, took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and placed it in her hand.
Upon obtaining the Ice Marrow, the immense and pure extreme ice energy made Lan Fuzi feel so comfortable that she almost groaned. She quickly and carefully put it away, her face beaming with joy.
"Great! Good luck! I'll be watching you show off your skills right here!"
After saying that, she actually flew backward a distance, adopting a posture of watching a good show.
She is, after all, a soul beast. Bringing humans to hunt soul beasts is already the limit for her, so there is absolutely no way she would offer any help.
Unless, I have to...
Jiang Zhen ignored her and turned his gaze to the dark sea below.
With a slight circulation of his soul power, an invisible protective shield enveloped his body, and then he plunged into the icy seawater like a sharp sword.
The visibility underwater was not high, but it was filled with an invisible pressure.
He had barely infiltrated when two enormous, dark gray shadows, radiating a strong aura of bloodlust, suddenly charged toward him from the side!
It is the Evil Spirit Orca !
It is enormous, over ten meters tall, with rough, grayish-black skin, a huge head, and a gaping maw with sharp, sword-like teeth that send chills down your spine.
Their dark red eyes were fixed on Jiang Zhen, filled with the most primal desire to kill.
"No more than ten thousand years."
Jiang Zhen instantly judged the other party's cultivation level.
He didn't even use his martial spirit.
Just as the two Evil Spirit Orca swere about to collide, Jiang Zhen's figure swayed slightly in the water like a ghost, easily avoiding the collision.
At the same time, he reached out with both hands and seemingly casually placed them on the rough heads of the two orcas.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled, loud thuds echoed underwater!
The terrifying chill of the extreme ice erupted instantly, penetrating through their skin and directly invading their brain core!
The massive bodies of the two Evil Spirit Orca suddenly froze as they charged forward, the light in their dark red eyes dimmed instantly, and their life force vanished in an instant, turning them into two enormous floating corpses that slowly drifted upwards.
Sold out instantly!
It was clean and efficient, without even causing much of a fluctuation in energy.
Although Lan Fuzi on the sea surface could not see the underwater details, he could clearly feel the instantaneous disappearance of the two ancient auras.
Her leisurely swinging legs paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Huh? This guy... he's pretty good..."
However, just as Jiang Zhen dealt with these two henchmen—
"Whoa—!!!"
A deep, desolate roar, filled with unparalleled rage and murderous intent, seemed to explode from the deepest part of the sea, instantly spreading throughout the entire ocean!
The sound contained a terrifying mental shock, causing the seawater within a radius of dozens of miles to tremble violently!
An immense, ferocious, and domineering aura surged forth from the deepest depths like an underwater volcano erupting, firmly locking onto the tiny yet threatening human in the seawater!
Beneath the inky black sea, a massive shadow, nearly twice the size of the two from before and resembling a small mountain, was rising at an alarming speed!
Those huge, dark red eyes, like searchlights from hell, pierced through the layers of seawater, burning with a frenzied rage, and stared intently at Jiang Zhen!
"Humans, how dare you be so insolent!!"
