Chapter 2293: Chapter 2313: The Demon Strikes Again, Is it Coincidence, or...?_1

"This person is so powerful!"

"Yes, he’s probably using Freezing Divine Power, and he has mastered it to an incredible extent—very impressive."

On the sixth-floor corridor, many spectators gathered as well.

In contrast to the unease of the passengers below on the third floor, they were not at all panicked. On one hand, they knew that the Sea King must have big shots from the Mountain Sea Sect on board, and on the other, most of the sixth floor was occupied by cultivators of formidable cultivation.

"Who was that person who made a move just now?"

"You don’t recognize him? That’s Teng Yanyu, an Elder of the Mountain Sea Sect’s War Sea Hall. It’s said that his strength is at the Daluo Supreme Immortal Peak."

Lin Chen turned his head to listen to the others’ discussions, "The War Sea Hall? Does it have something to do with the Endless Sea?"

Chen Youdong, standing beside Lin Chen, explained in a low voice, "The War Sea Hall is a division specifically created by the Mountain Sea Sect. Its main duty is to manage this golden trade route, routinely clearing the route of the demon race and providing escort services for everyday travel. Their ranks are filled with powerhouses of great strength."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and casually asked, "The Mountain Sea Sect has Daluo Initial Immortals, right?"

Chen Youdong said with a laugh, "Of course, there are quite a few of them. Otherwise, how could they have the strength to control this golden trade route? The War Sea Hall’s Hall Master, Jian Fengyun, is a Daluo Initial Immortal, a widely renowned True Person

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Riding on the Sea King really brings peace of mind. However, that Octopus Monster from before was not weak; I’m afraid that an average Daluo Mysterious Immortal would not be able to stop it. Had it been another vessel, wouldn’t it have been disastrous?"

Chen Youdong shrugged, "The people of the War Sea Hall are always patrolling the trade route, hunting demons. Most demons in this area have been nearly wiped out or have fled elsewhere. But the ocean is boundless, and water is always moving. There’s always some Great Demon that likes to wander past the trade route and if they find a ship, it’s normal for them to attack and destroy it."

"It’s all a matter of probability. If someone encounters it, it’s just bad luck. With a strong guard, even if the ship is lost, there’s a good chance the people will survive. But without protection, or if the demonic beast is too strong, then they can only attribute it to misfortune. After all, the number of ship incidents compared to the overall number of vessels on the route is a very small percentage."

Lin Chen nodded. Where’s the money in commerce without risk, right?

Even on land, you might encounter sky bandits. The ones with principles steal goods without harming people, but the ruthless ones not only rob but kill, taking hostages for ransom or selling them outright.

This is the world of cultivation.

Strength is king, without law or limit!

The sudden Demonic Beast attack had offered the passengers of the entire ship an exciting thrill, making everyone feel they got their money’s worth. After all, if it had been a grade A ship, who knows if it would have held out?

Perhaps one would have been done for.

Just when everyone thought that this was just a random Sea Demon cross-domain attack, the Sea King came under attack again the following afternoon.

This time, the Sea King was attacked by a group of Shark Demons who sped over from the distant seaside. The fins breaking the water surface were like sharp blades slicing through the sea, extending toward the Sea King.

The Shark Demon group had not yet approached and were already sensed. The middle-aged man once again appeared mid-air, staring at the Shark Demons that had emerged in the distance, furrowing his brow.

Shark Demons are considered one of the more aggressive species among the Sea Demons, living in groups and enjoying hunting together. They have formidable combat power.

In the process of clearing the trade routes, traces of Shark Demons would always be found. Due to their inherently brutal and warlike nature, they particularly enjoy attacking merchant ships.

It’s not strange for Shark Demons to appear along the trade route, but isn’t the group of Shark Demons in front of us too large?

All those fins breaking the water’s surface looked like a dense jungle. How many Shark Demons could there be?

A hundred, or two hundred?

Having just encountered an Octopus Monster attack last night, and now facing so many Shark Demons?

Is this a coincidence, or?

The terrifying aura of the Shark Demon group alarmed most of the cultivators on the sixth floor, prompting them to leave their rooms and stand on the corridor, or simply to fly mid-air, looking toward the distance.

Fighting wasn’t their responsibility, so they chose to watch from the sidelines.

As Lin Chen reached the corridor, the door of a nearby room opened, and a woman with her face veiled walked out, followed by a Handmaid.

"Miss, there is an attack by Demonic Beasts outside. Wouldn’t it be better for you to stay in your room?"

The veiled lady huffed, "Isn’t there a Barrier on the ship? If the Barrier cannot hold, what’s the difference between standing here and hiding in my room?"

The Handmaid was left speechless for a moment because what she said was true.

With the Barrier intact, everyone on the ship is safe; if the Barrier breaks, no place is safe.

Fang Shan’an, who saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, then did not speak. Instead, he took a few steps forward, blocking the hallway, separating her from the passengers in the front.

The veiled lady walked to the Railing, glanced outside, her eyes flashing with a hint of excitement.

Yes, it was not fear but excitement.

Lin Chen glimpsed at her and mused to himself, could it be that she craved some turbulence because she was bound with little freedom, even if it were a terrifying attack by Demonic Beasts?
