Chapter 2295: Chapter 2315: Who is Behind the Sea Demon?_1

"This is no coincidence!"

Inside the guard room of the Sea King, Teng Yanyu frowned, casting a stern glance at the other guards.

"Two consecutive attacks by sea demons of this scale, with such a short interval between them, there must be something suspicious behind this."

Guo Lin, the captain of the Sea King’s guard, asked in a grave voice, "Martial Uncle, are you suggesting that someone is manipulating the sea demons?"

Teng Yanyu nodded, "Yes, but I’m not certain."

Guo Lin asked, "So what should we do now? Should we report this to the sect?"

Teng Yanyu thought for a moment. "Can do, let’s inform the sect about this matter, so the Hall Master is prepared and ready to provide support at any time."

"Understood!"

Guo Lin assented and hesitated before asking, "Martial Uncle, if there really is someone behind these demon race invasions, are they targeting our Mountain Sea Sect or the guests aboard the ship?"

Teng Yanyu raised an eyebrow, fixing Guo Lin with a look. "You mean... the Visitation Group?"

Guo Lin nodded. "The Sea King’s voyage this time is fundamentally for escorting them. The Visitation Group consists of the most outstanding geniuses from the younger generations of the Dragon Mountain Sect, Taoism, and Buddhism, and it’s not just one but a group of them. If nothing unexpected happens, they will undoubtedly be the pillars of the Three Sects in the future. If they were to die in the Endless Sea, it would undoubtedly deal a tremendous blow to the Three Sects..."

Teng Yanyu’s brow furrowed deeper as he fell into thought, and after a few seconds, he said softly, "The Sea Tribe?"

Guo Lin’s face was serious. "We all know the real purpose of the Three Sects Visitation Group is expansion. The Sea Tribe has always considered the Northern Sea as part of their territory, and although there are many Human cultivators in the Northern Sea, the Sea Tribe does not acknowledge that humans have the right to stand equal with the Sea Tribe in the Northern Sea."

"Now, with the Three Sects Visitation Group, it’s three against one. The Sea Tribe is clearly at a disadvantage, and the possibility of their defeat is even greater. So, if something happens to the Three Sects Visitation Group in the Endless Sea, if they die at the hands of sea demons, the Three Sects would suffer heavy losses and be too preoccupied to address their current predicament."

Teng Yanyu’s eyes held doubt. "So you’re saying the Sea Tribe does indeed have motives, but if it were the Sea Tribe, once this comes to light, the consequences would be severe. It’s akin to cutting off the roots of the Three Sects, which would only lead to full-scale war, a fight to the death. While the Sea Tribe is powerful and unmatched in the Northern Sea, facing three enemies at once, I doubt they have the ability to handle it."

Guo Lin nodded. "Indeed, if it is the Sea Tribe behind these manipulations, once exposed, they might not be able to bear the consequences. But we cannot rule out the possibility."

Teng Yanyu fell into deep thought again and after a long while, gestured to Guo Lin, "Go ahead and keep observing. Each of the Three Sects has its own powerhouses accompanying them to protect their disciples. We are all on the same ship; if real trouble arises, they won’t just stand by idly."

"Yes."

After Guo Lin and the others left, Teng Yanyu sat cross-legged, taking out a medicinal pill and popping it into his mouth.

He had just slain the attacking group of shark demons, and although it seemed effortless, it had actually drained a considerable amount of his spiritual power.

If he had killed them one by one, he would have saved a great deal of spiritual power, but under the public eye, he had to maintain the image of the Mountain Sea Sect’s dominance.

Worried about the consecutive, frenzied attacks, Teng Yanyu finally let out a long breath, entering a meditative state to heal his injuries.

"I hope I’m just overthinking..."

...

The group of shark demons had been exterminated by Teng Yanyu, an event that excited all the passengers, who were thrilled by the spectacle.

What kind of status did they possess that a pinnacle Daluo Ultimate Immortal would escort them?

This was a story they could brag about for a lifetime!

Not to mention the excited lodgers in the cabins below, even many passengers on the Sixth Floor had never witnessed such a battle.

The Masked Woman’s eyes glowed with excitement. "So powerful, all those shark demons killed in just a few moves!"

Purple Cloud continued the conversation, "Indeed, a pinnacle Daluo Ultimate Immortal is already an incredibly strong existence."

The Masked Woman nodded excitedly, "If only I were as powerful as him..."

Before she could finish, her previously excited gaze dimmed, as if recalling something disheartening.

Purple Cloud said softly, encouragingly, "Keep cultivating, you’ll always have a chance."

The Masked Woman shook her head but didn’t respond, instead glancing at Lin Chen and asked softly, "Elder sister, are you and he fellow sect disciples?"

Purple Cloud was slightly taken aback but soon realized she must be asking about her and Lin Chen, and responded with a gentle smile, "No, we are not."

The Masked Woman’s curiosity was piqued, "Then how did you come to know each other?"

Purple Cloud replied with a smile, "You want to know?"

The Masked Woman nodded, "Yes, can you tell me? If it’s inconvenient, don’t worry about it."

Purple Cloud laughed softly, "It’s not inconvenient at all. I’ll tell you later."

Hearing this, the Masked Woman was quite delighted, "Elder Sister, why don’t you come over to my room for tea? I have some good tea..."

Purple Cloud replied, "Sure, I’ve been feeling a bit bored too."

Standing on the side, Fang Shan’an frowned, about to say something when Lin Chen spoke up with a laugh, "Then you go. I’ll head back to my room to meditate."

Fang Shan’an was about to object but stopped himself.

Just Purple Cloud’s words seemed okay, right?
