Serpent Ancestor

Reflecting on it, ever since Xu Hei set foot on this island, he hadn't seen the porcupine fish again, nor did he deliberately wait for the other team members.

And until now, with the porcupine fish still missing, Xu Hei sensed something was amiss!

Xu Hei immediately returned to the island's edge. At this moment, the island was sealed by a formation, shrouded in a gray mist outside, and his divine sense couldn't reach beyond.

"Is it because of the formation? No, if it were just the formation, with Captain White Tooth's cultivation, he could easily break through! I've been missing for so long, he couldn't possibly be unaware!"

Xu Hei felt a tinge of unease.

Meanwhile, in the center of the island, a fierce battle was still raging. Members of the Wolf Fang Gang emerged wave after wave, clashing with two individuals, falling only to be replaced by more.

Xu Hei felt a growing sense of unease and decided to infiltrate the Wolf Fang Gang's backyard for a closer look.

Without hesitation, he flickered and used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground, paving the way with the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon, reaching the core area of the Wolf Fang Gang.

This place was a cluster of buildings, the residence of the gang members. There weren't many people here, as most had joined the battle, leaving only the women behind.

As a pirate group, they had abducted many women, imprisoning them in the backyard for their amusement. The men were killed, and the women taken—this was their usual practice.

Xu Hei's divine sense swept over, easily locating hundreds of women, most of whom were cultivators with some level of cultivation. However, their eyes were vacant, like puppets.

Strangely, this place was filled with a strong sense of resentment, as if countless people had died here.

"Resentment?" Xu Hei's eyes flickered.

Resentment was something Xu Hei couldn't detect before, but during a simulated battle, he had faced a ghost cultivator whose spells carried such an aura.

With that experience, Xu Hei could now identify it at a glance.

He pondered briefly, then took out a human puppet and infiltrated the room of a female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When the female cultivator saw someone enter, she said nothing, merely disrobing mechanically, like a machine going through the motions.

Xu Hei didn't waste time with her, summoning an ancient lamp and, with a thought, activated "Dream Return!"

This lamp, confiscated from Boss Liu, had the function of interrogating prisoners. Xu Hei wasn't skilled in this, so he kept it.

The female cultivator's eyes were dazed, and under the lamp's illumination, scenes played out rapidly, replaying her experiences at a thousandfold speed.

Xu Hei quickly scanned through, finding her life extremely monotonous, with no useful clues.

He moved to another room, investigating several others, all with similar situations.

Xu Hei frowned, deep in thought.

"Buzz!!"

Suddenly, a powerful divine sense swept over Xu Hei's puppet, and then, like tracing a source, it shot towards Xu Hei's true form underground, locking onto him like a beam of light.

"So fast!"

Xu Hei's pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth wide and unleashed the Dragon Shatter Roar.

"Roar!!"

The divine sense beam shattered with Xu Hei's roar. Simultaneously, Xu Hei withdrew and fled at full speed towards the outside.

At this moment, his scalp tingled with a sense of danger. The owner of that divine sense was extremely powerful, far surpassing any opponent he had faced before!

"Why is there such strong resentment here? Why did investigating lead to such an opponent?" Xu Hei's face darkened.

At this moment, he thought of the dead ghost fish.

Why did the ghost fish die? Could it have also stumbled upon some clue and was erased by this hidden figure using such means?

Clearly, Xu Hei's guess was likely correct! Now, that hidden figure intended to erase him in the same way.

The opponent hadn't shown their true form, only a divine sense that sped towards him again, transforming into a divine sense sword.

If struck by this divine sense, Xu Hei would be in grave danger!

"Ever-changing Fish and Dragon!"

Xu Hei pushed his speed to the limit, but the divine sense sword behind him was equally swift. With no other choice, Xu Hei had to unleash the Dragon Shatter Roar again, blasting it behind him.

This time, Xu Hei's sonic attack was cleaved by the divine sense sword. Though he managed to block another strike, Xu Hei clearly felt the strain.

After the divine sense sword disappeared.

A soft exclamation came from the shadows, followed by a massive divine sense reappearing, transforming into countless divine sense flying swords, forming a sword formation. It was more than ten times stronger than before!

"Damn!"

Xu Hei's face darkened.

He had faced many battles, but opponents skilled in divine sense attacks were rare. Moreover, the opponent's cultivation must be a level above his, or he wouldn't feel such a sense of crisis.

…………

Meanwhile.

The two fighting in the front yard also sensed something was wrong.

"Junior Brother Bai, don't you feel like these people never run out?" Lin Ziye said gravely.

They had killed many, yet the enemy's numbers seemed endless, continuously emerging. More bizarrely, the corpses on the ground didn't pile up, as if an invisible force was slowly sinking them into the earth.

Bai Qiushui nodded: "I've noticed. These two are clearly using this to wear us down."

The leader of the Wolf Fang Gang and Xie Yunfei were both in the late Core Formation stage, but neither intended to fight desperately. Instead, they used their subordinates to die wave after wave. Over time, they would exhaust the two, winning without much effort.

Fortunately, Bai Qiushui was a body cultivator, with minimal true essence consumption, allowing him to sustain such a battle.

Xie Yunfei sneered: "Heh, even if you've realized, what can you do? A body cultivator and a half-baked scholar cultivator, can you break this situation? You'll die today!"

As he spoke, more members of the Wolf Fang Gang rushed out, and the speed at which the corpses sank increased, almost visibly.

Lin Ziye shouted: "The Master never speaks of ghosts and spirits!"

This was a Confucian saying, meaning the Master never discussed strange phenomena. With this utterance, any evil would be dispelled, a spell to counter bizarre forces.

In an instant, a surge of righteous energy swept out, flooding into every cultivator present.

But moments later, there was no effect, and the enemy's numbers continued to grow.

"No good! This spell is useless!"

Lin Ziye's face darkened, shouting to Bai Qiushui: "This place is too strange! We can't delay any longer, use the Master's power for a swift victory!"

"Understood!"

Bai Qiushui nodded heavily.

Strange? As a body cultivator, he thrived on defeating the strange!

He took out another scroll of the Master's sayings, shouting: "The Master never speaks of ghosts and spirits!"

With these words, Bai Qiushui's body emitted crackling sounds. His bones expanded, muscles bulged, and his body grew taller. His white robe burst open, revealing a strong back and chest, marked with a large "Virtue."

However, the character for Virtue was only half-formed, clearly incomplete.

In an instant, Bai Qiushui grew to five meters, transforming into a muscular giant, his eyes blood-red, like a demon god!

"……" Xie Yunfei suddenly fell silent.

Lin Ziye also fell silent.

"Boom!!!"

Bai Qiushui swung a massive palm, creating a gale a thousand meters high. His fan-sized hand slammed into the crowd, smashing dozens into pulp, erasing even the corpses, leaving nothing but dust, and peeling back a layer of earth.

Buildings collapsed, the earth shook, and even the sealing formation trembled violently, as if the island itself couldn't withstand it.

In the face of absolute power, all strangeness seemed laughable.
