Chapter 763: Chapter 11 Scold 【2 in 1】_2

"Hm?" Navy frowned at Chu Liang, "Was Purple Gold Marquis the one who hurt my subordinates?"

Lin Bei and Xu Ziyang also grew tense. The battle they had fought to help Lady Hong Yu guard Fog Island was real and at this moment, they didn’t know how Chu Liang was going to bluff his way out.

Chu Liang gave a cursory glance to the two sea demons, his expression undisturbed, even carrying a hint of cold laughter as he declared loudly: "It was indeed!"

Wait, what?

Were they starting this?

Upon hearing those words, Lin Bei’s eyes widened in surprise, nearly faltering. However, due to his unconditional trust in Chu Liang, he managed to pull himself together without revealing any signs of concern.

Navy quietly looked at Chu Liang, wondering what his explanation would be.

"Why was I able to infiltrate Blood Mist Villa?" Chu Liang spoke openly, "Because I concocted a story about gathering Thunder Cloud Seeds, which prompted Lady Hong Yu to personally bring us into Fog Island. We originally could have ventured safely into the underground cavern and rescued Elder Mayfly..."

"But in that moment, your two subordinates suddenly appeared and attacked my brothers." Chu Liang spread his hands out innocently, "Under such circumstances, how could I not retaliate and gain Lady Hong Yu’s trust? Mister Navy, let’s look at the results..."

"In the end, who entered the underground cavern, your men or mine?"

His words carried a considerable weight as the results spoke for themselves.

Purple Gold Marquis’s plan had evidently been smarter, making their attack seemed rather crude. Navy, of course, would not admit that his plan was to blame and instead glared at his subordinates.

"You’ve disgraced us!" He scolded, "Almost ruining Purple Gold Marquis’s operation."

"Mister Navy..." King Mo rushed to say, "I..."

He wanted to argue, but the so-called "Purple Gold Marquis" now seemed sinister and powerful, even though he hadn’t been like this when they were opponents. Moreover, the man had used pure Void Slashing Sword Technique to hurt him!

Because of the coral barrier obstructing the view, Navy had not seen Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang use Void Slashing and Jue Yun Sword Techniques, only noticing the shattering corals. But King Mo and the Killer Whale knew just how powerful Chu Liang’s Void Slashing Sword Technique was, and he even wielded the Demon-slaying Sword!

His righteousness was practically written all over his face!

Whoosh--

However, as he was about to speak, an invisible and subtle light suddenly landed on him.

Chu Liang, off to one side, subtly raised a finger.

Heart-Charming Demon Spell!

Once the light entered his body, King Mo’s face instantly darkened, anger seething as if a pair of red horns were growing from his forehead.

"I disgraced us? I disgraced your fucking mother!"

...

That curse was like a boulder thrown onto the placid surface of a lake, instantly stirring up monstrous waves.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Even Navy himself, completely surprised at the audacity of his longtime subordinate, couldn’t figure out what to say for a moment.

But it didn’t matter, King Mo continued his tirade.

"You, looking like a human and having the brain of a dog, is the mud in there made with your late mother’s ashes?" His eyes crimson with anger and his words bitter, "Why don’t you change your name to Sea Dog tomorrow, more suited to your wisdom. You never want to admit your own failures, always making us bear the consequences. When will you ever take responsibility for your own actions? Every time a plan fails, you vent your anger on us. Isn’t it because you never accumulate good karma that we are so unlucky? Failure after failure, why don’t you just go die..."

"Huff--" Navy took a deep breath, only to find his head buzzing and feeling a bit oxygen-deprived. He was flustered from the incessant berating.

If it were just baseless curses, he might not have been so angry. But the words from King Mo were obviously heartfelt complaints that had been held back for many years and had hit Navy right where it hurt!

Looking at his subordinate turned demon, and in front of an outsider no less, he finally could no longer suppress his rage and burst out with a palm strike!

Boom--

He didn’t hold back at all. It would be pointless to keep such a rebellious subordinate around. It would be better to make an example of him to frighten the others.

Even though King Mo was a formidable practitioner of the Seventh Realm, how could he withstand this furious palm strike from Navy? Immediately, he spat out a mouthful of blood, was launched through the air, and collided heavily with the reinforced wall of the loft, causing a loud crash.

He was killed on the spot.

If the loft hadn’t been reinforced, he might have been able to break through the wall and perhaps lighten the blow enough to barely cling to life. It was a pity that the wall of the loft was too sturdy, and it directly counteracted the force back onto his body - of course, credit for this also goes to the Chu Liang in front of him.

"Disgraceful." Having struck down his subordinate, Navy himself couldn’t help but curse.

"This, this, this..." The Killer Whale watched in horror, "King Mo must have lost his mind, there’s something not right there, Mister Navy you..."

Whoosh—

Another invisible beam of light fell down.

The pupils of the Killer Whale immediately became bloodshot, and a shadow sprouted from its back, morphing into demonic horns.

"You’re nothing but a rotten fish eater!"

...

This strategy of ’a polite start before abrupt aggression’ left Mister Navy bewildered.

He’d expected the Killer Whale to reassure him, but instead, he seemed to be delivering another blow. During his unenlightened days, he had to survive on rotting fish he found on the outskirts of the ruins. It was a tough period of his life he rarely spoke of.

Now it had been harshly brought back to mind.

"If you weren’t in the Eighth Realm of cultivation, do you think we would associate with you? We would have cut you into eighteen pieces and given you to thirty-six different sharks! You watched King Mo suffer and fight on your behalf for so many years, and now you strike him down at the slightest grievance? Is that how you treat us? Does he not have a point? All these years, you’ve never acted like a Sect Hierarch, the Southern Sea Ruins are bound to perish under your rule! Tonight, you better sleep with one eye open. Because if I don’t kill you, I’ll heat up your bedroom door and watch you fall flat on your face in the morning..."

Bang—

The heartfelt lamentation only lasted a moment before a dull thud echoed.

In the blink of an eye, two of the strongest warriors of the Southern Sea Ruins Sect were slain by Mister Navy, his hands shaking with rage. He sank back into his chair and took a deep breath.

"These two traitors served me for hundreds of years, and to think they’ve been harboring disloyalty all along," His voice was still tinged with anger, "I’m afraid I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you."

"Mister Navy, was all this necessary..."

Even though Chu Liang had masterminded the situation, he never thought Mister Navy would actually deal with the situation so aggressively, killing both Seventh Realm cultivators in the blink of an eye.

If they hadn’t tricked him, even with the combined strengths of himself and Senior Brother Xu, their lives would still be in great danger. It wouldn’t matter much if he lost a duplicate body and some equipment, but what would become of Xu Ziyang and Lin Bei?

"If disloyalty arises among my subordinates, that’s even worse than having enemies." Navy said without looking at the corpses on the floor, "If we had allowed them to escape and leak information about our meeting today, both of us would be in grave danger once Wu Chao heard about it."

"Wu Chao..." Chu Liang blinked at the mention, "Is he really that powerful?"

"Sigh!" Mister Navy sighed heavily, "If he wasn’t in the picture, would I need to hold myself back with my cultivation? This Southern Sea Ruins would already be mine!"

"If it weren’t for rescuing Elder Mayfly this time, I wouldn’t be able to deal with this situation." Mister Navy added, "Your demonic cultivators are far more experienced when it comes to mischief."

Huh?

The expressions on the faces of Chu Liang and the other two stagnated.

They’d rescued Elder Mayfly?

Then they heard Mister Navy summon in a loud voice, "Elder, please reveal yourself."

Just as his words faded, they saw Chu Liang, Lin Bei, and Xu Ziyang’s bodies all emanating a light composed of countless fine, crystalline red sparks, smaller than Mayfly’s starlight, that looked like Mayfly’s eggs.

These tiny red lights multiplied, clustering together until they finally condensed into the form of an aged figure.

"I thought I’d fooled everyone," The figure then turned to look at Chu Liang and the others, "Turns out you all came here specifically to rescue me."

"Um.." Chu Liang, piecing together the situation, suddenly realized the truth. It was no wonder Elder Mayfly had tried so hard to help them escape; he only had to affix himself to a host to escape. And Lady Hong Yu had tried to trap them all in Fog Island because of him.

This creature’s magical abilities were truly impossible to guard against.

After a moment’s hesitation, he smirked, "Elder is truly an all-seeing entity."

"I dare not accept the title of ’Elder’." Elder Mayfly still had that humble demeanor as he bowed and said, "I can’t repay you for your kindness in freeing me, so how about I kneel down and give you all a bow..."

"No, no, no..." He was getting rather tired of Elder Mayfly’s constant attempts to show his gratitude through bowing. Chu Liang and company quickly intervened, "No need, no need."

"No, I insist," Elder Mayfly said, stubbornly adhering to his Way of Politeness.

"..."

Mister Navy, watching from the sidelines, was utterly confused. He stood up and said, "Elder, I am the current hierarch of the Southern Sea Ruins Sect, and I am requesting your assistance against Wu Chao. You and I together, plus the Demonic Clan from the Far West which I intend to call, could definitely upend Wu Chao. After that, you and I together could rule Southern Sea Ruins, and all the Sea Clans would be under our command. What say you?"

Hearing his sincere invitation, the ever-so-humble Elder Mayfly turned his head, gave him a glance, and suddenly a cold light burst out of his eyes. His response left Mister Navy completely taken aback.

Elder Mayfly rasped out a harsh, "I hope you die!"
