"Ziyang!"

Upon sighting his disciple, Wang Xuanling immediately quickened his pace and with a gesture, a metallic gold light sliced open the seal.

Xu Ziyang who was sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. Upon seeing the two figures in front of him, he was slightly surprised. "Master... Junior Brother Chu?!"

"We can’t stay here for long, let’s talk once we’re out." Chu Liang quickly suggested.

"Then let’s leave right away." Wang Xuanling said.

Although the tower was sturdy, any fortified wall, regardless of its reinforcement, wouldn’t last past a few bites from Tuntun.

"No..." Chu Liang contemplated for a moment, then shook his head, "If we leave this way, we won’t be able to use this identity anymore."

The Navy officer and Huo Tianya now believed that they were the true Xuan Yinzi and Purple Gold Marquis. If they just slipped away through a tunnel, they would no longer be able to utilize these identities in the future.

"What are you planning?" Wang Xuanling asked.

Now he was accustomed to the feeling of not keeping up with Chu Liang’s train of thought, as it brought a sort of comforting relief to his mind.

"Senior Brother Xu can wear my robe first," Chu Liang removed his black robe and handed it to Xu Ziyang. For certainty, he also gave him the Purple Gold Marquis’ token. "You can leave from the front door like this, and I will find a way to escape later."

"What if someone recognizes you after you’ve given him your identity?" Wang Xuanling asked anxiously.

"Don’t worry." Chu Liang pulled out another black robe and a bronze mask, "I have another identity to cover my tracks."

Then in front of the master and student, he skillfully put on the mask.

Wang Xuanling, Xu Ziyang: "?"

The master and student were somewhat familiar with the bronze mask.

On can say that a monster, with an impeccable reputation, which had practiced cultivation in the wilderness for hundreds of years to gain its form, would perhaps not be able to wear this mask.

But thinking about how he was able to prepare a complete set of tokens of the Underworld King Sect, this didn’t seem to be a stretch anymore.

Or to say, any baffling thing occurring around him no longer seemed all that astonishing.

Wang Xuanling patted Chu Liang’s shoulder, "I don’t need to tell you to be careful, as you’ve always been prudent in handling matters. I just want to give you one reminder..."

The old man gazed intently into Chu Liang’s eyes and earnestly said, "You must adhere strictly to the Righteous Path, don’t take the wrong path."

Chu Liang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he responded, "This disciple will remember."

After giving his advice, Wang Xuanling led Xu Ziyang downstairs with an excuse to leave first. Although their physical form and aura had slightly changed, it was sufficient to handle the shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the door.

As the Navy officer and Huo Tianya, the two powerful cultivators, were engrossed in their conversation with the Demon Race Divine Envoys, they didn’t have time to carefully inspect them, so the two of them successfully left the tower.

Chu Liang remained upstairs and listened quietly for a while. After a good moment, hearing Immortal Yuan Lu and the other Western Sea demonic cultivators leaving next door, he decided to move.

First, he let Tuntun bite through another wall and then through the wall of Immortal Yuan Lu’s room. Lastly, Tuntun broke through the exterior wall, allowing Chu Liang to leap out.

It seemed that these people were very confident in the quality of this tower, they didn’t provide any additional guarding except for a seal. But they didn’t anticipate that Chu Liang had Tuntun, a powerful weapon.

Initially, there was no pathway in the world, but wherever Tuntun opened its mouth to eat, a path was created.

Upon returning to the whirlpool area, he found that it was no longer desolate like before but was now filled with countless sea demons.

The demonic aura soared into the sky!

Various strange and bizarre sea demons gathered around a high platform, dancing and swaying, their demeanor fanatical and devout.

On that platform, there was a golden toad as tall as a person, identical to the one Chu Liang had seen sealed in the tower room. At the foot of the platform was a girl with a fish tail for her lower body, singing while gazing upwards.

"Starlight spills onto the bloody sea, the moon bathes the ship of bones~"

"..."

This familiar song was the same one previously heard in the heavy fog at sea. As she sang, the golden toad seemed to be slowly opening its eyes.

At this moment, Chu Liang suddenly heard a transmitted message.

"Come over here!"

...

Chu Liang, following the sound, found Wang Xuanling and Xu Ziyang hidden behind a broken wall and watching covertly. Due to the mass gathering of sea demons, they couldn’t openly leave from the vortex above.

He asked: "What’s going on?"

Xu Ziyang explained: "This is a ritual of the Ruins Shenxu. They are waiting for the decree of the Southern Sea God Mother."

"Southern Sea God Mother?" Chu Liang blinked, "Isn’t that the Ninth Realm already fallen?"

"Not sure..." Xu Ziyang replied: "It seems that these sea demons regard this golden toad as the messenger of the God Mother. By praying to it, they can receive her commands. The only one who could command all sea demons is the Southern Sea God Mother."

"So all sea demons in the Southern Sea are followers of Ruins Shenxu?" Chu Liang expressed his shock.

"I don’t think so. If all sea demons belonged to a single religion it would already dominate the world." Wang Xuanling shook his head: "The leader of the Ruins Shenxu is the Navy, but he cannot command all the sea demon clans. The recent chaos in the Southern Sea and countless sea demons dying one after another must have been due to a decree from the God Mother. And now, they are performing a ceremony to report back to the God Mother."

As they arrived earlier and observed for a longer time, they had more information than Chu Liang.

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang found it quite astonishing.

For various reasons, the number of sea demons is much greater than those on land. Because they never contend with the Human Clan for living space, the human clan know less about them.

If all sea demons were devotees of the Southern Sea God Mother, what kind of a formidable force they could assemble?

A terrifying thought even crossed his mind... could it be that the Southern Sea God Mother... hadn’t truly perished?

Right at this moment, the golden toad opened its eyes while simultaneously opened its huge mouth to emit a beam of golden light, which hit the singing merfolk girl. She shivered, her eyes suddenly bursting with pure light, and let out a painful cry.

"Ah--" After her scream, she abruptly turned towards all the sea demons present and announced loudly: "The God Mother commands her clan members to consume Nine States without regard to casualties. Only then can she revive!"

The hitherto silent crowd instantly exploded with fighting spirit upon hearing her proclamation: "Swallow Nine States! Swallow Nine States!"

This war..." Wang Xuanling frowned: "Could it really be initiated by the God Mother?"

"That’s not right." Chu Liang shook his head.

He connected all the information in his mind.

Previously, he had heard about fake Southern Sea golden toads appearing, and the golden toad was the messenger of the God Mother. In that tower, a black toad was trapped... The Ruins Shenxu, hard-line followers of the Southern Sea God Mother, had always slaughtered any humans who entered their ruins... They couldn’t command all sea demons unless there was a decree from the God Mother....

Moreover, Huo Tianya was a follower of Mars, and was known for causing chaos.

"This golden toad is fake..." He raised his head and asserted: "This is definitely a plot by Mars!"
