Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xia Pingan. They wanted to see how he would solve the crisis in front of them. Crane Bell Rampart also narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Pingan with a sneer on his face. He had made up his mind that no matter what, he must get his hands on the Soul Anchoring Pearl in Xia Pingan's hands this time. A lone traveler like Xia Pingan, who had obtained a Calming Soul Pearl and had run into the Sea King's Association, was a rare opportunity.
"Listen up …" Xia Pingan coughed softly and looked at the people of the Sea King Association with a face full of confidence. "You want to provoke me? Do you know where I come from? Your Sea King Association wants to dominate the Undying Sea? You're still too inexperienced!"
"Oh, where did you come from? Why don't you tell me about it? There are plenty of people who want to put on airs after coming to the Godslaying Bug Realm, and we don't need another one like you!" Crane Bell Rampart said. The members of the Sea King's Association surrounding Xia Pingan all burst into laughter.
"Listen up, I'm a disciple of the Wan Shen Sect. Does your Sea King Association dare to rob a disciple of the Wan Shen Sect?" After Xia Pingan finished speaking, he found that the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, including Yundao Jiuzi and Feng Lieyu. Those eyes were not filled with reverence, but with an indescribable strangeness.
"Hahaha …" Crane Bell Rampart suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he was about to burst into tears. "I thought you had some powerful background, but it turns out that you're just a rookie who doesn't know anything. The Wan Shen Sect has thousands of outer disciples in the God Slaying Insect World and the Undying Sea. Do you think that the Wan Shen Sect will stand up for an outer disciple? If you think so, aren't you treating the Wan Shen Sect as fools and idiots? Let me tell you, kid, the rules of the Wan Shen Sect is that they only care about the grudges of the official disciples. The grudges of the outer disciples are their own responsibility. The Wan Shen Sect has never intervened. You're just an outer disciple of the Wan Shen Sect. If you were in the Undying City, we naturally wouldn't dare to do anything to you. But since you're in the Undying Sea, don't even think about leaving if you don't hand over the Soul Anchoring Pearl today …"
Damn! Why did the Wan Shen Sect have such a rule?
Xia Pingan felt a little speechless. He had not been in the Wan Shen Sect for long, and no one had ever told him such a thing. Damn it, the status of an outer disciple in the Wan Shen Sect was too low.
"Brother Feng, is what he said true …" Xia Pingan looked at Feng Lieyu, wanting to ask if what Feng Lieyu said was true.
Feng Lieyu could only smile awkwardly, "Ahem, yes. I heard that many people purposely joined the Wan Shen Sect after getting into trouble. They wanted the Wan Shen Sect to take care of them. After that, the Wan Shen Sect no longer interfered with the affairs of the outer disciples. But Brother Long, don't worry, we will definitely take care of your affairs..."
"Thank you, Brother Feng, but I'd better solve this matter myself. If the identity of an outer disciple of the Wan Shen Sect is not useful, then I'll change another identity …" Xia Pingan laughed loudly and still looked at the Crane Bell Rampart confidently, "You must have heard of this identity of mine, and it's definitely useful!"
"Oh, what other identity do you have?"
Xia Pingan said in surprise, "I'm the 78th head of the Shadowless Divine Sect. How is it? This identity is qualified, right?"
Crane Bell Rampart frowned. He had thought that Xia Pingan would still be able to say some background and identity that would make him fearful. However, he seemed to have never heard of this Divine Shadowless Sect before. Presumably, it was not some impressive large sect.
"Shadowless Divine Sect, where did this broken sect come from? I've never heard of it!"
"It doesn't matter. You'll soon know what our Divine Shadowless Sect does …" After Xia Pingan finished speaking, he suddenly looked behind the Crane Bell Rampart and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. "Master, why are you here …"
The Crane Bell Rampart was shocked, and the hair on his back stood up. He did not even think about it and looked behind him — the surrounding sky was empty, blue and clear, and there was not even half a shadow.
"Oh no, I've been fooled!"
When he turned his head again, he discovered that Xia Pingan's figure had already disappeared. His body was like a shooting star, and he was already close to the surface of the sea, about to rush into the sea.
Xia Pingan's escape was too straightforward, and he was already prepared. Even Feng Lieyu and the others beside him did not have time to react. Xia Pingan's figure fell into the sea like a shooting star.
"Hahaha, your brains are not that good, to be played so easily. Now you know what the Shadowless Divine Sect does, right?" Xia Pingan laughed loudly, and in the midst of his laughter, he had already dived into the sea with a poof.
"Damn it, chase …" The Crane Bell Rampart roared, so angry that he was about to go crazy. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, he did not expect that guy to actually dare to play with him. Moreover, he actually fell for such a low-level trick.
What he did not expect even more was that this guy, who was still fearless just a moment ago, would escape so decisively without any hesitation, catching him off guard.
In the blink of an eye, the members of the Sea King Association in the sky had all dived into the sea, and the Yundao Jiuzi hurriedly chased after them.
As soon as the Crane Bell Rampart entered the water, he saw that Xia Pingan had already summoned a strange black fish. He was grabbing the dorsal fin of the strange fish and was rapidly swimming towards the bottom of the sea. In the blink of an eye, he had pulled a distance of over a thousand meters away from them.
Xia Pingan's speed was much faster than them in the water, and none of them could catch up.
...
As soon as Xia Pingan entered the water, he summoned Xuanwu. Using an illusion technique, Xuanwu transformed into a strange black fish and carried Xia Pingan like a torpedo as they rapidly advanced underwater. In the blink of an eye, they had shaken off the members of the Sea King Association.
Given the current situation, Xia Pingan was a Five Sun Realm summoner. If he stayed on the surface, he would definitely not be a match for the Sea King Association's large group of Six Sun Realm summoners. There was also the risk of losing the Soul Anchoring Pearl. Furthermore, Feng Lieyu and the others were still nearby, so it would be difficult for them to sit idly by. If they made a move, it would be very easy for the Yundao Jiuzi to be involved in a confrontation with the Sea King Association. This was a situation that Xia Pingan did not want to see.
Therefore, he made a prompt decision to escape. Temporarily avoiding the Sea King Association's sharp edge was the best decision.
Of course, Xia Pingan could also use his identity as a soul master to incite the surrounding people to rob and kill the members of the Sea King Association. However, if he did so, the onlookers might not believe that he could refine a soul tool, and they might not be willing to immediately go to war with the Sea King because of his promise. Most of them would probably wait and see. However, the Sea King Association would definitely fight to the death with him, which was definitely not a good thing for him.
Therefore, a man of character knew when to yield and when to stand tall. After some consideration, he took the initiative to leave the scene. Avoiding the enemy's sharp edge and showing weakness was not a shameful thing to do.
...
After reaching the sea, Xuanwu dived into the seabed and began to swim. Sure enough, he quickly shook off the members of the Sea King Association.
The topography of the seabed was actually the same as on land. It was ever-changing and blurry. There were mountain ranges and canyons at the bottom of the sea, and the thriving marine plants were as dense as forests on land.
It was too easy to hide a person in such a complicated topography.
An hour later, Xia Pingan had completely left the members of the Sea King Association behind him. Xuanwu took him and swam to a canyon at the bottom of the sea. The canyon was filled with dark green marine plants that were hundreds of meters long. The leaves of these marine plants were like silk ribbons that drifted in the water.
Xia Pingan found a safe place to rest in between the crevices of the canyon's walls. He reached out his hand and cut off a leaf from one of the marine plants. He then used the One Leaf Vision technique. In the blink of an eye, his entire body melted into the drifting seawater of the underwater canyon, and not a single trace of his aura was left.
After staying here for more than twenty minutes, the two summoners of the Sea King Association arrived at the canyon. They searched for a while, but they didn't find anything. They didn't find any traces, so they left.
Xia Pingan quietly waited in the crevices of the rock walls. A few hours later, the sky turned dark, and the sea was completely dark. There wasn't the slightest bit of light. Xia Pingan silently stayed here for a night. When the next day dawned, the waters above his head once again lit up. Xia Pingan once again ran out from his hiding place, preparing to return to the Undying City first.
Xia Pingan had just drilled out of the underwater canyon when he suddenly froze.
In the sea in front of him, an old man with a pair of triangular eyes and a purple-gold crown on his head was standing there, coldly looking at him. The old man had a head full of silver hair, and his body emitted a powerful and ice-cold aura, like a flood or a ferocious beast. More importantly, the old man was holding a head that was still dripping with blood. That head belonged to the Crane Bell Rampart who had tried to rob his Tranquilizing Soul Pearls yesterday.
There was still a frightened expression on the Crane Bell Rampart's face.
"Not bad. You can judge the situation and avoid the enemy's attack. You can even use a secret technique to hide here for a night. Even I can't lock onto your specific position. You also have a skill in concealing your aura. Kid, you really have some skills!"
Damn, who is this old man? He actually killed someone from the Sea King Association just like that …
Xia Pingan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Based on his intuition, he knew that this old man didn't seem like a righteous person. Moreover, he was extremely ferocious. He was completely the kind of ruthless person who treated human lives like grass.
"Senior, have you mistaken me for someone else?" Xia Pingan said as he slowly retreated. He was already prepared to run away once again.
The old man acted as if he didn't see Xia Pingan trying to escape. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. That smile seemed kind, but it was even more frightening. The old man softened his tone a little. "Are you called Long Huan? Yesterday, you used a secret technique to obtain a Tranquilizing Soul Pearl from the body of a Heavenly Star Giant Clam?"
Xia Pingan was just about to run away when he suddenly realized that the seawater around him had suddenly solidified and lost its flow. His entire body was stuck in the seawater, and he couldn't move at all. This old man's strength was too terrifying. He could unknowingly immobilize Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan's heart suddenly turned cold. He quickly shouted and took out the Tranquilizing Soul Pearl from the space warehouse. He threw it at the old man. "That's right, I'm Long Huan. If senior wants this Tranquilizing Soul Pearl, please take it. This junior will present it to you with both hands!"
The old man took the Tranquilizing Soul Pearl and looked at it. The corners of his mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. He then threw the Tranquilizing Soul Pearl at Xia Pingan. "Who cares about a small Tranquilizing Soul Pearl? Since you're Long Huan, I'll give you this head as a greeting gift. Come with me …"
After he finished speaking, the old man threw the Crane Bell Rampart's head at Xia Pingan.
What was the use of a dead person's head? Xia Pingan didn't catch it. The head sank into the water. After that, the old man stretched out his hand. Xia Pingan's body involuntarily flew towards the old man and was caught by the old man. With a flash, the old man brought Xia Pingan towards the deep sea in the distance …
