Seeing Ye Yu speak the truth so bluntly,
Jiang Jinhe did not argue.
She just quietly looked at Ye Yu,
implicitly accepting the guess as correct.
In fact, from the very beginning, Jiang Jinhe had considered the possibility that Ye Yu might interfere.
So when negotiating with Liangxin Workshop, she deliberately left a safeguard,
claiming all the resources of Ba’an Sea for half a year, but without specifying what exactly.
This was to prevent Ye Yu from competing with her.
Although that thing was well hidden, it was hard to escape the discerning eye of a Demon King realm powerhouse.
Jiang Jinhe had waited for nearly ten thousand years; how could she now give it away so easily?
Thus, upon hearing Ye Yu had arrived at Ba’an Sea,
she immediately rushed back nonstop,
all to seize that item at the earliest moment.
Honestly, Ye Yu’s arrival made Jiang Jinhe somewhat nervous.
She was really worried a big battle might erupt.
For all this time, Jiang Jinhe had never been able to see through Ye Yu—
not his true cultivation level, nor even his true form.
Moreover, he always seemed so casual and indifferent.
This made Jiang Jinhe wary.
Normally, when you can’t see through someone, it means they are stronger than you.
They block your divine sense with demon energy, leaving you clueless.
That is dangerous.
Jiang Jinhe never fights without confidence. If possible, she didn’t want to fight Ye Yu.
Her thoughts turned swiftly, and she said in a charming voice,
“Actually, there’s no need to be so stiff with words.
Originally, Ye Demon Friend said you were only searching for the female demon on the scroll, so you stayed inside Liangxin Workshop and did not leave.
But now, after I asked Liangxin Workshop for help,
you came directly to the edge of Ba’an Sea.
Naturally, that makes one a bit worried.”
Ye Yu smiled calmly.
“Worrying won’t help.
You asked Liangxin Workshop for help; I came to see what’s going on.
Is there a problem?
If you didn’t want me to # Nоvеlight # come, you could have sent your own people instead of Liangxin Workshop.”
Jiang Jinhe frowned slightly.
Actually, that was true.
She did need the connections of Liangxin Workshop to assist her.
But she still felt Ye Yu’s presence was a hidden threat.
To obtain that item, Jiang Jinhe would not retreat but instead chose to take the initiative.
“So, Ye Demon Friend means you can speak for all of Liangxin Workshop?
Don’t forget, I am the City Lord of Jianyao City, and Liangxin Workshop is under my command!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu said nothing,
but his smile grew a little deeper.
Feng Zhenxin stepped forward and said firmly,
“Senior Ye’s meaning is Liangxin Workshop’s meaning.
By the way, a reminder to the City Lord:
Liangxin Workshop can operate in Jianyao City or in other demon cities.
It entirely depends on the City Lord’s attitude!”
After speaking, Feng Zhenxin slightly raised his hand.
All the demon tribes nearby who had been counting sea resources stopped their actions, quietly standing still,
waiting for Feng Zhenxin’s order.
It should be known that all demons of Liangxin Workshop here were Feng Zhenxin’s trusted aides,
naturally obeying his commands fully.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinhe’s expression turned extremely solemn.
She had never imagined Ye Yu’s stance would be so tough,
nor that Liangxin Workshop would dare openly confront her for Ye Yu.
The old fox who once kowtowed and fawned inside the City Lord’s mansion now had a surprisingly sturdy backbone.
Was it all because of this man before her?
After much thought, Jiang Jinhe began to send a voice transmission.
“Ye Demon Friend is indeed very capable.
It seems you are now the true master of Liangxin Workshop.
In that case, I won’t beat around the bush with you.
There really is something very important to me in Ba’an Sea.
As long as you don’t compete with me for it, I can trade anything with you, how about that?”
Seeing Jiang Jinhe’s serious look, Ye Yu’s curiosity grew.
“Oh? Something very important? What is it?”
“No comment, but...”
Before Jiang Jinhe could finish,
the previously calm surface of Ba’an Sea suddenly began to boil.
Then a light surged, causing ripples.
This strange phenomenon instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
They all looked forward.
At this moment, a dog demon rose from the sea.
He was a captain in the Sea Capture Battle.
Before surfacing fully, he excitedly shouted,
“Reporting to the Workshop Master: thirty li ahead, deep under the sea, a secret realm has been found.
I’m the first to report this, my name is Li Goudan!”
Feng Zhenxin hurriedly said,
“Good, go claim your reward with the supervisor—five thousand demon stones will be paid immediately!”
Indeed, true to Liangxin Workshop’s style of generous funds,
when Ye Yu instructed the Sea Capture Battle to search for sea secret realms, Feng Zhenxin promised that whoever reported a secret realm first would receive five thousand demon stones.
That explained Li Goudan’s excitement.
After giving the orders, Feng Zhenxin was about to turn and inform Ye Yu,
but noticed that Ye Yu and Jiang Jinhe, who had been standing behind, had already vanished.
Ba’an Sea.
Ye Yu and Jiang Jinhe soon arrived at the location Li Goudan had indicated.
There they saw an underwater fissure shining with deep blue light.
Obviously, this was the entrance to the secret realm.
Ye Yu suspected Luo Ning and the Lishuibeng demon clan might be here, so without hesitation, he immediately entered.
Jiang Jinhe saw this and hurried after him.
Dozens of members from the Sea Capture Battle also gathered.
They were all under Li Goudan’s command and had discovered this secret realm’s opening.
Upon seeing Ye Yu and Jiang Jinhe enter, many demons grew restless.
“How about we go in and take a look?
Sea secret realms are extremely rare.
If we just stand outside, we’ll definitely regret it later!”
This statement quickly gained support among most demons.
They all knew a secret realm was a double-edged sword, with risks and rewards.
But demons who made a living in the sea had long abandoned fear of death.
Risk was the least of their concerns.
Just then, a rabbit demon spoke quietly,
“If you want to die, go right in.
Do you know who that woman just arrived is?
The new City Lord of Jianyao City, cultivation at Demon King realm.
If you want to snatch from her, you really don’t want to live.”
Hearing this, the previously enthusiastic demons all stopped and stood still.
Snatching from a Demon King realm powerhouse was certainly suicidal.
But would they give up so easily?
A deer demon muttered,
“If I just pick up some scraps, they won’t kill me for that, right?”
Before he finished speaking,
the surrounding sea suddenly began to churn violently.
