【On the topic of how good it feels to narrowly escape death.】
【Right now, Zhu Shangjun is the demon with the most say in the matter.】
【Seeing Ye Yu again, his mood literally soared.】
【As long as the Vice Workshop Master is alive, he can live on.】
【This feeling is simply incredible.】
【But different demons, different fates!】
【Looking at the surrounding land demons, thousands of sea demons were filled with extreme fear.】
【The lingering terror accumulated over millions of years by the Sea Capture teams made them deeply uneasy.】
【A chubby sea demon spoke in a trembling voice: "Qing Rui, now that you’re caught red-handed, what do you have to say? Order these land demons to retreat quickly. We can forget past grievances—as if I never came here—how about that?"】
【At this, nearby demons immediately chimed in.】
【"Yeah, yeah, let us go now and everything will be fine. Don’t keep making mistakes!"】
【"Grand Elder Qing Rui, don’t forget we’ve cooperated before. Don’t strike us when we’re down!"】
【"Show some mercy!"】
【Hearing the incoherent pleas from the demons, Qing Rui felt only disgust.】
【"Mercy?"】
【"A moment ago, when did you ever show me mercy?"】
【"Now you remember this word? Where were you before?"】
【Besides this, Qing Rui grew more curious about Ye Yu’s status.】
【Why could he mobilize so many Sea Capture team demons?】
【Could it be that all these years, the attacks on sea demons were organized by Ye Yu?】
【Thinking this, Qing Rui’s face turned deathly pale.】
【Zhu Shangjun, annoyed by the noisy voices, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) shouted sharply: "Everyone shut up!"】
【In an instant, a fierce aura swept the entire scene.】
【Hundreds of Sea Capture battle demons revealed their magic weapons.】
【They came to help only because Zhu Shangjun offered a sky-high price.】
【They knew whose side they served.】
【With such understanding, cooperation was unquestionable.】
【After intimidating everyone, Zhu Shangjun looked at Ye Yu flatteringly and said softly: "Vice Workshop Master, how shall we deal with these sea demons? Please decide."】
【Ye Yu slowly folded his Yin Bat Fan.】
【Coldly, he said: "Leave none alive."】
【Zhu Shangjun slightly bowed his head, then turned and made a throat-slitting gesture.】
【Seeing this, the Sea Capture demons immediately began a massacre.】
【Ye Yu gestured and brought Qing Rui and Luo Ning back into the Li Shui Clam Demon clan’s palace.】
【He spoke plainly: "Why don’t you both come live on land with me from now on? Staying in the sea might be dangerous."】
【Luo Ning nodded.】
【Given today’s events, it was unlikely all sea demons could be kept unaware.】
【If this incident leaked, the Li Shui clan would surely be ostracized.】
【Better to leave early.】
【Qing Rui did not immediately agree but asked about Ye Yu’s identity.】
【She wanted to know if the killings of Ba’an Sea’s sea demons over the years were Ye Yu’s doing.】
【Ye Yu patiently explained again.】
【This was his first time coming to the sea, just to observe.】
【The Sea Capture demons acted out of profit.】
【Beyond that, he had no relations with them.】
【After hearing this, Qing Rui’s expression eased.】
【After all, many Li Shui clan members had died in Sea Capture battles over the years.】
【If Ye Yu was involved, she would have grudges.】
【But if it was merely profit-driven, then no problem.】
【Those attacking the Li Shui clan today deserved death anyway!】
【Then Ye Yu curiously asked: "What exactly is the Divine Sea Society?"】
【Qing Rui hesitated briefly, then slowly recounted its origin.】
【Long ago,】
【because of the Sea Capture teams’ slaughter of sea demons,】
【everyone was terrified, fearing they would be next.】
【At that time, a mysterious force appeared.】
【They called themselves the Divine Sea Society.】
【They proclaimed to unite all sea demons, promising to protect them from Sea Capture teams’ slaughter and eventually fight on land to become rulers of the demon realm.】
【The promise was ambitious, painting a beautiful future.】
【At first, many clans joined the Divine Sea Society.】
【This force indeed had some strength.】
【They successfully repelled many Sea Capture team incursions and protected sea demons.】
【For a time, many demons saw new hope.】
【But something was off.】
【Many who joined the Divine Sea Society became unreachable.】
【This was suspicious.】
【Thus, many demons chose to remain neutral.】
【Later, the Divine Sea Society disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years.】
【During this time, great disasters struck the demon realm.】
【As demonic energy gradually recovered, all returned to normal.】
【Even the long-silent Divine Sea Society reappeared.】
【But this time, they seemed much quieter, reasons unknown.】
【At this point, Qing Rui paused, glanced at Luo Ning, and telepathically said to Ye Yu: "There is something I have never told Luo Ning."】
【"Earlier, Divine Sea Society demons sought cooperation with our Li Shui clan, but Luo Ning’s father rejected them."】
【"A few days later, he died mysteriously."】
【"I suspect the Divine Sea Society was involved."】
【"But there’s no evidence. When you’re strong enough in the future, can you help me investigate?"】
【"I just want an answer."】
【Looking at Qing Rui’s sorrowful eyes, Ye Yu nodded lightly.】
【"Of course. Since you’re with Luo Ning, and her father is my future father-in-law,"】
【"I naturally want to find out."】
【At that moment, Zhu Shangjun’s voice came from outside.】
【"Vice Workshop Master, everything has been cleaned up. Any other orders?"】
【Ye Yu’s thoughts shifted, and he appeared outside instantly.】
【At that moment, all sea demons originally surrounding them were corpses.】
【The Sea Capture battle demons had also suffered heavy casualties.】
【The battle was fierce, but Ye Yu paid no attention.】
【He looked to Zhu Shangjun and softly asked: "How much do you know about the Divine Sea Society?"】
【"Huh? Vice Workshop Master, why do you suddenly ask about this?"】
【Zhu Shangjun’s expression turned awkward.】
