In that brief moment of distraction, Biyao in my arms suddenly moved!

She suddenly lowered her head and bit down hard on Jiang Xiaochuan's arm that was holding her.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt a sharp pain in his arm and instinctively loosened his grip.

Biyao was like a slippery eel. Taking advantage of the moment his arm loosened, she twisted her waist and broke free from his embrace!

She moved with lightning speed, her toes barely touching the ground before she floated backward and landed steadily beside You Ji.

As soon as she stopped, she immediately raised her hand to cover her chest, her cheeks still flushed, her eyes filled with both shame and anger as she glared at Jiang Xiaochuan, her chest heaving.

"Grab him!" Biyao cried out, her voice trembling.

Upon hearing this, the five men in yellow immediately stepped forward. They were well-trained, their steps were synchronized, and the magical artifacts in their hands emitted light as they slowly approached from five directions.

Jiang Xiaochuan took a step back, blocking Lu Xueqi's path. Lu Xueqi also stepped forward half a step to stand beside him, holding Tianya sword horizontally in front of them, its blade gleaming.

The two retreated step by step.

The man in yellow approached step by step.

After retreating for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly stopped, hearing the sound of water.

It wasn't the monotonous, distant sound of the waves from before. It was the sound of water lapping against the shore, right up close. A soft, muffled, damp sound.

He tilted his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an endless expanse of water, as black as ink.

We have reached the merciless seashore.

Biyao also heard the sound of water. She paused for a moment, then turned to look at the dark sea. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into excitement.

She turned to the veiled woman and asked, "Aunt You, is this the Sea of ​​Heartlessness?"

The masked woman paused for a moment, gazing at the dark sea, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly, her voice faint and tinged with an indescribable bitterness:

"Devotion only leads to the suffering of heartlessness... Indeed, this is the most mysterious of the five seas, the Heartless Sea."

"Ah!" Biyao seemed oblivious to the oddity in Aunt You's words, and exclaimed excitedly, "I've heard my father say since I was little that the Heartless Sea is hidden deep underground, it's the Sea of ​​the Nine Netherworlds! And he also said that the Dripping Blood Cave beneath the Abyss of the Dead is right on the shore of the Heartless Sea!"

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Xiaochuan and Lu Xueqi, "It seems we're almost there after searching for three days!"

Yu Ji remained silent, not responding, but her gaze towards the sea grew increasingly solemn.

Biyao, however, did not take it to heart.

She turned to look at Jiang Xiaochuan and Lu Xueqi, who were forced to the beach, and her face regained that lively yet cold smile: "Alright, I'll capture you first, then go find that Blood Drop Cave!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand.

The five men in yellow quickened their pace, their magical artifacts shining brightly, ready to make their move!

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at the approaching enemy, then at Lu Xueqi beside him, whose face was pale and whose breath was weak.

He suddenly felt very calm. He wasn't afraid of himself; his body was tough, he couldn't be killed. But Lu Xueqi...

He recalled the scene from the original story: the Heartless Sea and the Black Water Serpent.

He can't let her stay here, even if she resents him or hates him.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into that cold depths.

"Sister Hongli," he called out in his heart.

After a while, Hong Li's lazy voice finally rang out, a little hoarse from just waking up, with a hint of teasing: "Oh, you remember your sister Hong Li now? What, can't handle these two little girls and need help?"

"Help me take her upstairs," Jiang Xiaochuan said directly, ignoring her teasing.

"Who are you giving it to? That little ice cube?" Hong Li scoffed. "You owe me a lot, even offering yourself wouldn't be enough."

"Good sister," Jiang Xiaochuan lowered his voice, pleading, "please."

Hong Li paused for a moment.

"Say it again," she said.

"...Good sister." Jiang Xiaochuan readily agreed.

Hong Li seemed satisfied and gave a soft hum: "That's more like it."

The next instant, the God-Slaying Spear that had been silently hovering beside Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly trembled with a soft "hum"!

The gun's body shimmered with a dark red light, as if it had come to life. It flew up automatically, like a nimble dark red serpent, and coiled around Lu Xueqi's waist in the air!

Caught off guard, Lu Xueqi cried out in alarm as she was firmly bound by the God-Slaying Spear!

"Jiang Xiaochuan! What are you doing!" she shouted, struggling to swing her sword and cut the spear in half.

When Tianya struck the God-Slaying Spear, only a string of sparks flew up; the spear itself remained completely still.

The God-Slaying Spear tightened around Lu Xueqi, then shuddered and propelled her upwards at incredible speed, like a dark red meteor shooting against the darkness above!

"Jiang Xiaochuan! You bastard!" Lu Xueqi's angry shout came from high above, trembling and tearful, "If you die, I will never live on alone!"

The sound quickly faded into the distance, torn apart by the wind.

Biyao, Youji, and the five men in yellow were all stunned by this sudden turn of events, and they all looked up at the red light that quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Just then—

"Boom—!!!"

A deep, resounding roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of the Heartless Sea, echoed from the depths of the Netherworld!

The entire Ruthless Sea trembled violently, the ground shook wildly, and pebbles fell in a shower!

The once relatively calm and merciless sea instantly became incredibly violent!

One after another, giant waves rose high without warning, their crests reaching several meters in height, carrying a devastating force as they crashed violently against the shore!

The sound of the waves was deafening, the wind howled, and the icy seawater lashed against our faces like a knife!

Everyone on the shore, including Jiang Xiaochuan, was so terrified by the power of heaven and earth that their faces turned pale, their bodies swayed, and they almost couldn't stand up!

Yu Ji, who was standing at the very back, suddenly changed color!

With her vast experience, she instantly sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the deep sea, a aura that sent shivers down her spine. She cried out in alarm, her voice filled with unprecedented fear:

"Biyao! Get back! Away from the beach!"

Biyao was shocked!

She knew that Aunt You was very knowledgeable and that even her father, the Ghost King, respected her greatly. Seeing her in such a state of disarray, she knew that she must have encountered unimaginable danger!

Without a second thought, she shouted, "Back off!"

She moved with the agility of a swallow, retreating swiftly! The five men in yellow robes followed without hesitation, retreating like a receding tide!

Biyao and the others, who had managed to escape by sheer luck, were still in shock and looked toward the Heartless Sea, which had suddenly undergone a dramatic change.

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in shock, their scalps tingling with fear!

In the depths of that pitch-black, turbulent, and merciless sea, two enormous "beacons" slowly lit up!

The "lights" flickered with an eerie green glow, like will-o'-the-wisps from hell, and were larger than anyone could imagine!

But upon closer inspection, the shape of this "light" is extremely strange. It is not an ordinary circle, but a long and thin shape from top to bottom. In the middle, there are two vertical, even deeper, dark slits that emanate cold, cruel, and emotionless fierce eyes, staring intently at the creatures on the shore!

"It's it...it's it..." Yu Ji's voice trembled uncontrollably, her whole body shaking as if she were a leaf. "That beast...it's still alive!!"
