The shark demon saw the sword rainbow streaking over and immediately swung the ice crystal giant axe to block.

Boom!

A crash echoed.

The shark demon hesitated, and the mockery in its eyes vanished.

Both were at the Early Stage of Divine Infant. Even though their exchange was merely probing, they already understood each other’s power.

The shark demon waved its hand, and the giant shadow beneath the ship submerged into the sea again. Looking at the person rising opposite, it asked, "Who are you?"

Song Yan caught the flying sword, grabbed it single-handedly behind his back, and declared boldly, "Star Luo Domain, Shi Huang."

The shark demon saw him sheathe the sword, feeling somewhat enlightened. After pondering for a moment, it said, "Shi Huang? Why haven’t I heard of your name?"

Anger flashed in Song Yan’s eyes, but amidst it, the sinister smile spread wide as the demonic sound echoed sharply, "Such discourtesy, sir."

The shark demon suddenly felt a sense of dizziness, and an honest and sincere feeling emerged within it, believing it couldn’t be feigned. Thus, it grinned, revealing pallid teeth and misaligned fangs, saying, "I see you’ve mingled among mortals, driven to the end of your wits, it seems?"

Song Yan snorted coldly, continuing to employ the demonic sound: "In such an apocalyptic time, who has a path to tread?"

The shark demon lowered its voice and said, "Shall I introduce a path to you?"

Song Yan’s expression immediately changed, his eyes rolling, switching to a smile, "Shark brother, pray tell."

The shark demon saw his rapid change of face, chuckled heartily, and said, "Alright, alright. I see you are a legitimate cultivator, you and I are alike. Thus, come with me."

Song Yan slightly turned his head and glanced at the ship carrying the young boys and girls, as well as the people on the ship, who gazed at him in terror. They thought he would slay demons and monsters, yet within moments, they saw him bonding with the demon, faces now painted in despair. Granny Wan, in particular, eyed him with venomous hatred.

Song Yan suddenly said, "I don’t care about what happens next, but this ship came with me, let them leave."

"Oh, is that your moral compass?" the shark demon sneered. "You humans are hypocrites, the moral compass only works as long as it is out of sight, isn’t it?"

Having said this, it added, "Fine, I’ll miss out on one fresh meal, let’s consider it forming a good relationship with you."

Song Yan flew back onto the deck.

The people, uncertain of what just transpired, nonetheless believed that "immortals can do anything," so replacing the second gang leader unknowingly seemed natural. At this point, they all knelt down, bowing repeatedly.

Song Yan waved his hand and said, "Turn the ship around quickly and return to Shanyang City. However, Shanyang is not a place to stay for long; you should take care of yourselves."

The people hurriedly said, "Thank you, Immortal, for your guidance."

Song Yan then took steps toward Wan’Er.

Granny Wan finally bowed her head and said, "This old woman failed to recognize the Immortal, forgive my presumption."

...

...

Dragon-shaped sculptures fixed on the seafloor linked together, forming an invisibly concealed grand array.

This grand array surprisingly had numerous areas emitting the Netherworld’s Qi.

However, these numerous Netherworld’s Qi were sealed by the dragon-shaped sculptures, making external perception impossible.

Two figures descended to the membrane boundary of the dragon-shaped sculptures.

Song Yan, exercising the demonic sound, muttered, "Shark brother, though I know not the array’s purpose, it seems tremendously formidable."

The shark demon inherently felt a bit of patronizing superiority, "taking the yokel to broaden his horizons," a sensation rarely felt, but with Song Yan’s words, it expanded immediately.

The shark demon felt a sudden dizziness, proudly saying, "Never seen it before, have you?"

Song Yan looked left and right, appearing like a country bumpkin entering the city, and said, "Never seen it, impressive, truly impressive. This array surely can conceal its aura?"

"Conceal the aura?" the shark demon snorted disdainfully, "The primary function of this array is to seal aura, especially the Netherworld’s Qi. Once even a little is released, it can attract numerous Celestial Calamity Beasts, and then... the higher-ups have their uses."
