【Three days later, on an island at the edge of the Ba’an Sea, hundreds of demon clans gathered.】
【They chatted among themselves, but their eyes frequently glanced toward the sea, as if waiting for something.】
【Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air abruptly rang out.】
【All the demons ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ turned their heads to look, seeing a huge spirit ship speeding through the sky.】
【When it stopped above the island, a massive shadow cast over everyone’s faces.】
【The demons, many of whom were headstrong by nature, immediately felt displeased, but when they clearly saw the shape of the spirit ship overhead, their warlike hearts quickly calmed.】
【The enormous spirit ship, hundreds of zhang long, was densely inscribed with countless high-level offensive formations. Additionally, a hundred Xuan demons stood in a line as guards, their expressions solemn.】
【Such a formation was truly armed to the teeth.】
【More importantly, on the side of the spirit ship was an exquisite emblem.】
【It depicted a fox raising an auction hammer.】
【The demons present had all been wandering outside for many years.】
【They immediately recognized this as the emblem of the recently popular Jianyao City’s Liangxin Workshop.】
【With such a powerful lineup, it was highly likely that the visitor was Liangxin Workshop’s highest authority, Feng Zhenxin.】
【This naturally aroused their curiosity.】
【Why on earth would such a big figure as Feng Zhenxin come to this bitterly cold place?】
【While the demons pondered,】
【the spirit ship had already steadily landed on the ground.】
【A white-haired monkey demon wearing a purple robe jumped straight down from it.】
【The hundred Xuan demons followed respectfully, standing on both sides with vigilance, watching all the demons around.】
【A tall middle-aged man softly said: “Vice Workshop Master, this place is one of the battlefields in the Sea Capture War. There are twenty-seven similar locations around the Ba’an Sea.”】
【The man speaking was named Zhu Shangjun.】
【He was one of the managers of Liangxin Workshop and, judging from his name and height, undoubtedly a bamboo demon.】
【On this outing, he would be responsible for explaining everything related to the Sea Capture War.】
【The title of Vice Workshop Master for Ye Yu was naturally freshly appointed.】
【As for Feng Zhenxin, Ye Yu did not send him here but kept him stationed at Liangxin Workshop to continue searching for all usable resources.】
【The Sea Capture War had existed since ancient times.】
【A few days ago inside Liangxin Workshop, when Feng Zhenxin mentioned going out to sea, he was referring to this matter.】
【The demon world was a special existence.】
【The lakes and seas were much vaster than the land and rich in resources.】
【Long ago, the land demons had already set their sights on the sea.】
【They gathered together, diving into the sea to plunder treasures.】
【This was the earliest form of the Sea Capture War.】
【Over millions of years, the aquatic demons and land demons each had their victories and defeats.】
【At one time, the aquatic demons even annihilated three demon cities.】
【In the eyes of demons, this kind of battle was neither right nor wrong.】
【There was only survival of the fittest.】
【After all, this was an era of the weak being preyed upon by the strong.】
【If someone couldn’t hold on, it proved they were meant to perish, and there was no reason to argue otherwise.】
【After millions of years of evolution,】
【the Sea Capture War began to mature.】
【A group of professional Sea Capture demons appeared.】
【They might not have the top strength,】
【but their professionalism was extremely high; they knew exactly which sea demons were killers and robbers, and which ones to avoid.】
【They traveled between places, conducting targeted strikes.】
【They planned the sale of the spoils obtained, exchanging them for needed resources.】
【In this, they were very similar to bounty hunters.】
【After hearing Feng Zhenxin’s basic explanation,】
【Ye Yu immediately became interested in this so-called Sea Capture War.】
【With nothing else to do, he decided to come see it personally.】
【But unexpectedly, after arriving here, Ye Yu was somewhat disappointed.】
【Looking at the demons around, all strangely shaped, not to mention their weak strength — not a single Golden Demon Realm cultivator among them, most barely at the early Heavenly Demon Realm.】
【The majority hovered around the Xuan Demon Realm.】
【Could such a formation really capture the sea?】
【Or was their so-called capturing the sea just picking up shells by the shore?】
【Seeming to notice the disappointment in Ye Yu’s eyes, Zhu Shangjun softly said: “Vice Workshop Master, please do not underestimate these Sea Capture demons.】
【Among the more than twenty locations near Ba’an Sea, their strength can at most be considered average.】
【But the spoils they bring back, both in quantity and quality, have always been far ahead.】
【That’s why I was the first to bring you here.”】
【“Oh, by the way, it’s worth mentioning that a high-grade peak Sea Demon Immortal technique auctioned recently in Liangxin Workshop was created by them.”】
【“It’s called something like ‘Jade Sea Tide Summoning Technique.’”】
【Upon hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.】
【“Jade Sea Tide Summoning Technique” — isn’t that the cultivation method Luo Ning wanted?】
【Unexpectedly, it came from this obscure place.】
【By the way, speaking of that technique, Ye Yu wondered how Luo Ning’s cultivation was progressing.】
【Ah well, he would check on that little stammerer when he had time.】
【Ye Yu withdrew his thoughts and looked around before softly asking: “They’re all on shore — when do they plan to enter the sea?”】
【Zhu Shangjun frowned slightly.】
【He had never really thought about this question before.】
【But finding the answer was not difficult.】
【Zhu Shangjun put his hands behind his back, stepped forward, and loudly shouted: “I am Zhu Shangjun, manager of Liangxin Workshop from Jianyao City. Who is the leader here? Come see me.”】
【Soon, a man with a rugged face and golden sideburns immediately walked over.】
【He cupped his fists and said: “Greetings Manager Zhu. I am Yan Gu. We’ve met before.】
【I even gave you a piece of coral jade once.”】
【After saying this, the tiger demon named Yan Gu winked at Zhu Shangjun, hoping to refresh his presence.】
【But little did he know, this sentence caused Zhu Shangjun’s face to darken.】
【Saying you gave me something in front of my superior — isn’t that blatantly trying to butter me up?】
【Damn it, that’s excessive and annoying.】
【Zhu Shangjun immediately laid down formations and hurriedly knelt before Ye Yu, trembling as he said: “Vice Workshop Master, this is a misunderstanding. When I saw that piece of coral jade was exquisite, I intended to give it to the Workshop Master.】
【But recently, the workshop has been busy with trivial matters, and I haven’t delivered it yet. It’s truly my fault.”】
【“Now, I sincerely repent and am willing to present this item to the Vice Workshop Master. Please do not spread this matter.”】
