Chapter 1712: Chapter 1712: Dead Sea, Deadly Aura!

Here’s the translation:

After saying this, the elder left, leaving Jiang Xiaobai and the others feeling chills down their spines.

"That smile was a bit creepy."

Howling Celestial Dog murmured, "Is there really something wrong with this place? It feels like there’s something strange everywhere."

"It’s a top-tier force after all; the Star Palace wouldn’t resort to chaotic or nonsensical schemes."

Jiang Xiaobai remained calm: "We’ll just have to see what kind of tricks they’re pulling."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and looked at Howling Celestial Dog: "Earlier outside, did you notice something?"

At the mention of this, Howling Celestial Dog suddenly remembered, and then there came the sound, "Ugh!"

Plop!

A black pearl dropped onto the ground.

Both Jiang Xiaobai and Su Mei were completely stunned!

"Wow, that’s disgusting! What is this?!"

Su Mei cried out in horror, jumping a step back.

Jiang Xiaobai, however, stared at the black pearl with a thoughtful expression. "The remnants of the black mist from earlier?"

"Exactly. I might have seen something in it, but I’m not sure yet."

Howling Celestial Dog’s expression turned grave: "If it’s really like I suspect, the Earth Immortal realm might be in big trouble."

"Related to the Star Palace?" Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

"Impossible!"

Howling Celestial Dog shook his head: "The Star Palace doesn’t have that kind of courage, and they’re such a minor force they couldn’t possibly know secrets this profound."

"But... there’s always the possibility that they’ve been manipulated by someone and discovered information on this. If my hunch is correct, things could spiral out of control."

Jiang Xiaobai was curious: "What exactly is it? You’re acting all mysterious but not explaining clearly."

"Have you ever heard of the Death Sea?"

Howling Celestial Dog stared at the black pearl.

The Death Sea?!

Jiang Xiaobai instinctively stepped back, fully aware of what it was.

It is said in the legends that among the world’s four great waters, the Death Sea serves as the terminating point for all water flows. If anything happens to the Death Sea, all rivers, seas, lakes—earthly and celestial alike—would meet their demise!

This entity is supposed to be under the joint suppression of the Four Seas.

Could it have gone wrong?

Immediately, Jiang Xiaobai thought of the alien races!

If anyone dared tamper with the Death Sea, it had to be them! Nobody else, no matter how much they knew about the Death Sea’s secrets, would risk it—it would doom the entire Earth Immortal realm!

"Hiss... How do you seem to know everything?"

Howling Celestial Dog looked at Jiang Xiaobai in wonder. "You even know such forbidden knowledge about the Death Sea? I haven’t heard any secret lore mentioning this; even in the ancient era, this was taboo—not a soul dared to discuss it."

"Cough, cough. I don’t exactly recall what rumors or secrets I heard... just vaguely aware. Why don’t you elaborate?"

Howling Celestial Dog didn’t ponder deeply and explained with heavy eyebrows: "The Death Sea suppresses the concentrated death energy of heaven and earth. Earlier, I felt an intense concentration of that death energy inside this black pearl, which led me to suspect this."

"And that’s not all. Inside the Death Sea is also an unimaginable terror, continuously suppressed by powerful beings. Considering how much time has passed... it’s quite possible they’re starting to stir."

Howling Celestial Dog’s expression grew increasingly grave: "It feels as if something catastrophic is about to happen."

"Could it really be the Star Palace’s doing?" Su Mei asked from the side.

"Unlikely. I performed a divine scan upon entering here, and noted there are only three Supreme-level individuals. Supremes wouldn’t be capable of influencing the Death Sea."

Howling Celestial Dog shook his head: "Though it’s surprising seeing a minor sect like this harboring three Supreme-level experts—it’s kind of interesting..."

At this moment, Howling Celestial Dog looked like some enigmatic master, the corners of his mouth curling into a sinister smile that exuded menace.

Whack!

Jiang Xiaobai slapped Howling Celestial Dog on the head.

"Damn! Did you just hit me?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked up at the sky. "Hit you? Am I the type of person who would hit someone?"

"Then why did you hit me?"

"You look too much like a villainous mastermind—can’t stand it."

"Alright, you damn bastard, you finally admitted it—hitting me, you..."

Jiang Xiaobai remained silent, suddenly staring at Howling Celestial Dog with an expressionless face. Instantly, Howling Celestial Dog froze on the spot.

In his mind, a figure emerged, causing him to tremble uncontrollably, his tail tightly tucked between his legs...

The small courtyard fell into an eerie silence at once.

A glimmer flashed in Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes—there was definitely something fishy!

Don’t be fooled by the bickering between him and Howling Celestial Dog or the Bagua Furnace; Jiang Xiaobai had always kept in mind certain things Howling Celestial Dog had said in the past.

This mutt clearly feared him in some way!

Especially their first meeting—that unforgettable respect glowing in the dog’s eyes left a deep impression.

"Seems like there’s an even bigger secret these two bastards have hidden from me."

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.

But now wasn’t the time to delve into this—the priority was deciphering what the Star Palace was up to while gauging if they could be roped into cooperating.

Moreover, if there really were issues with the Death Sea, Jiang Xiaobai himself wasn’t equipped to handle them for now.

If the sky falls, it’s the taller folks who hold it up.

If problems arise, the Four Seas Dragon Kings will be the first to worry.

Thus, the two humans and one dog settled quietly in the courtyard, speaking not a word.

Meanwhile, atop a mountain deep within the Star Palace, a middle-aged man clad in a dragon-patterned star robe gazed toward the horizon.

Behind him stood two hunched and elderly men.

"Elders, what’s your opinion of Jiang Xiaobai?"

The middle-aged man asked calmly.

One of them stepped forward. "This young man carries extraordinary fortunes and wields fate-defying karmic ties. I suggest befriending him rather than turning him into an enemy."

"Precisely. Before meeting him, I thought he was merely lucky enough to stumble upon this prosperous era."

"Now I see there’s some grand plan at work behind him, but that also spells danger. If the Star Palace gets involved, the outcome, be it fortune or calamity, remains uncertain."

The other elder shared his thoughts.

Ultimately, they shared the same stance: it’s best not to provoke this individual.

The dragon-robed middle-aged man nodded slightly, letting his hand rest on the sword sheathed at his waist.

"This young man also shares a deep connection with the Holy Son. To be frank, our Star Palace has already become entwined in this."

At these words, the two elders wore bitter expressions.

Being entwined meant becoming embroiled in karma—and the karmic ties surrounding this young man were terrifying!

Truly impossible to discern the potential outcomes!

"Enough. Tonight, meeting this young man should provide clarity."

The dragon-robed man narrowed his eyes and turned toward one of the elders: "Great Elder, what has Xinghui been up to recently?"

"Him?"

The Great Elder sneered. "What else? He’s probably scheming how to usurp your position as sect master. Recently, his movements have been highly secretive—frequently traveling to the North Sea. No clue what he’s doing, but it’s definitely not simple."

After saying this, the elder raised an eyebrow. "Sect Master suspects his dealings might be related to the recent black mist appearance?"

The dragon-robed man said nothing, gazing coldly into the distance.

His aura gradually increased, reaching its peak before suddenly dissipating.

"The Star Palace has already rotted to its core."
