【Clam demons, a shell-type demon clan.】
【They can produce pearls.】
【The phrase “old clam harboring a pearl” perfectly describes them.】
【In the demon world, clam pearls are more than just beautiful.】
【They are demon cores condensed from their lifetime of demon power.】
【If you refine such a pearl, you not only gain all the clam demon’s power but might also obtain part of their cultivation techniques or abilities if lucky.】
【Besides, clam demons are mostly handsome, their appearances as radiant as pearls.】
【All these traits guarantee their exceptional status.】
【To the Sea Capture teams, clam demons are like walking astronomical numbers—rare and precious.】
【Yan Gu never expected to encounter five clam demons at once—truly a stroke of great luck.】
【However, the joy didn’t last long.】
【A loud roar came from afar: “You worthless scum, all of you get lost!”】
【Immediately, a slender man led a group of demons rushing over.】
【With a wave of his long sleeves, he bound the clam demons ahead and pulled them behind himself.】
【Upon seeing the man, Yan Gu’s expression turned extremely serious.】
【Snake demon Dongfang Kuo?】
【Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and softly asked, “What, you know each other?”】
【Yan Gu whispered back: “Lord Ye, this demon, like me, is a Sea Capture team captain, at the peak of early Heavenly Demon Realm.】
【He’s domineering, vindictive, and highly skilled with poisons.】
【Very tough to deal with.”】
【Ye Yu nodded.】
【So they’re all demons who make a living from Sea Capture. Looks like trouble is coming.】
【He casually asked: “In situations like this, how do you respond? What do you do with the clam demons you catch?”】
【Before Yan Gu could answer,】
【Dongfang Kuo shouted coldly from across: “Spineless fool, what are you dazing at? Hurry and send those clam demons to me! Want to die?”】
【His words were extremely rude, basically spitting in Yan Gu’s face.】
【His own subordinates were present; if he swallowed this humiliation, how would he lead the team later?】
【People’s loyalty would surely wane.】
【Yan Gu moved forward, looking seriously at the clam demons held by his men — and they were female, priceless.】
【He definitely couldn’t hand them over.】
【Yan Gu shouted angrily: “What nonsense are you spewing, stupid snake? Are you out of your mind?】
【The Sea Capture War has rules — each team controls an independent sea territory, and no demon can steal from another’s turf. That’s the rule. Have you forgotten?”】
【Dongfang Kuo smiled coldly.】
【“The clam demon clan belongs to me. A few escaped fish happened to get here, so you were lucky to catch one.】
【Now, you dare talk to me like that? Rules?】
【There are no rules in the demon world.】
【The strong set the rules!”】
【With a roar,】
【a powerful demon aura burst from Dongfang Kuo’s body, stirring waves underwater.】
【Mid-stage Heavenly Demon Realm.】
【Yan Gu’s eyes widened, and he instinctively glanced back at Ye Yu.】
【He knew very well that above demon immortal cultivation lay the step to the heavenly realm.】
【Dongfang Kuo had broken through successfully; he was no match.】
【If he didn’t hand over the clam demons, they would be slaughtered.】
【If he did, his authority among his subordinates would be ruined.】
【Better to bluff with tiger skin for show.】
【Seeing the clam demon’s pure and beautiful appearance — a perfect prize to use.】
【Yan Gu directly pushed the clam demon toward Ye Yu.】
【“Stupid snake, I promised to give this clam demon to this lord here.】
【I, Yan Gu, keep my word. Once given, I won’t take it back.**
【Even if I have to fight you to the death today.”**
【Hearing Yan Gu’s righteous words, Ye Yu’s expression turned slightly displeased.】
【Using a single clam demon to drag him into this mess — what a lousy deal.】
【Dongfang Kuo sneered.】
【He shifted his gaze to Ye Yu.】
【“This demon friend looks unfamiliar. Is that your confidence?】
【What a joke — using my stuff to curry favor.】
【But your lord is not my lord, so don’t expect me to give you face.”**
【At that moment, one of Yan Gu’s subordinates coldly said: “How dare you! This is Vice Workshop Master Ye Yu of Liangxin Workshop.】
【Do you still dare to act recklessly? Are you not afraid to die?”**
【Dongfang Kuo raised an eyebrow.】
【“Liangxin Workshop? Big name. You say so, is it true? Got proof?”】
【He obviously knew the name Liangxin Workshop from business dealings but had never heard of a Vice Workshop Master.】
【Now he seriously doubted Yan Gu was bluffing him.】
【Ye Yu glanced at the trembling clam demon beside him, about to speak, when suddenly】
【a huge wave surged in, instantly scattering the formation.】
【When calm returned,】
【three clam demons were dragged away behind Dongfang Kuo.】
【A stunning woman appeared.】
【She stood with one hand before her, expression grave: “Release my clan immediately, or the waves will bury you all.”】
【The demons present were all ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) struck by her beauty.】
【Such a gorgeous clam demon was a sight rarely seen in their lives.】
【If sold, she would fetch a sky-high price.】
【At that moment, Dongfang Kuo, Yan Gu, and the others began to eagerly prepare.】
【Ye Yu, however, was shocked.】
【He said: “Luo Ning, how are you here?”】
【Indeed, the clam demon who appeared was Luo Ning, Demon King of Yingning Mountain.】
【Her eyes coldly fixed on Ye Yu as she said solemnly: “That’s what I should be asking — why are you here, and why have you captured my clan?”】
【Ye Yu glanced at the clam demon beside him, about to explain, when he suddenly noticed a very important question.】
【Why aren’t you stammering anymore? Are you really Luo Ning?】
【Indeed, fluent Luo Ning speaking now was very unsettling to Ye Yu.】
【In his memory, she should only say two or three words at most.**
【Once she tried to say more, she’d frantically write it down.**
【Now she was very different.**
【Luo Ning blushed, saying coldly: “Don’t bother with those unimportant details.**
【Release my clansmen immediately, or don’t blame me for forgetting past favors.”】
