Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568: Chapter 4: Snatching the Sea Demon Clan’s Maidens!

Above the Bitter Sea, Sea Demons lurked.

No one knew just how vast the sea territory ruled by the Sea Demons was.

Under the night sky, a giant ship moved forward slowly, cutting through the thick, ink-like sea water and progressing through the mist.

Behind the ship, there were no longer any Sea Demon Clan pursuers, only a few sentinels following from a distance, monitoring their every move.

Bai Xi walked up to Mu Qingge, facing the sea breeze with her.

After a while, she looked at Mu Qingge and curiously asked, "Do you think the Sea Demons will really agree to our demands?"

"No," Mu Qingge replied straightforwardly.

This answer made Bai Xi’s beautiful eyes slightly narrow. Surprised, she asked, "Then why did you..." If she anticipated that the other side wouldn’t compromise, why proceed with this plan?

Bai Xi found Mu Qingge hard to understand.

She had thought that with her long existence and experience with humans, she understood human thoughts quite well. However, after interacting with Mu Qingge, she found she couldn’t understand her at all.

"Although they won’t let us leave obediently, they will be cautious," Mu Qingge said.

Bai Xi was silent for a moment, thoughtfully considering Mu Qingge’s words, and began to grasp her intention.

Perhaps, sending Fu Kang and Jie Sang back to report was just a delaying tactic.

As she pondered, she said, "The Sea Demons have inhabited this sea for generations, now no one knows how much they’ve spread. We are new here and have no knowledge of the Sea Demons’ situation. Did you do this deliberately to draw them out?"

The more she spoke, the more shocked Bai Xi became.

She was astounded by Mu Qingge’s meticulous approach, setting up several steps ahead amidst the chaos, gradually leading the Sea Demon Clan into her trap.

"But what if they are truly enraged and attack us with full force? What will we do then?" Bai Xi asked, confused again.

Mu Qingge, however, laughed carelessly, "In warfare, when the enemy is hidden, and we are exposed, it’s a disadvantage. Forcing them out of hiding has already shifted that disadvantage. The next move depends on how the Sea Demons react."

Bai Xi was taken aback by her words.

Mu Qingge turned and looked over, raising an eyebrow, "What’s wrong?"

Swept by her clear gaze, Bai Xi mumbled, "I thought you had everything calculated."

Mu Qingge was momentarily stunned, then laughed.

After laughing, she said to Bai Xi, "You overestimate me. If I could foresee everything, wouldn’t I be an immortal?"

"You’re almost there," Bai Xi remarked with a sigh.

Mu Qingge merely smiled silently at Bai Xi’s assessment.

Her gaze fell on the sea’s surface, and she thought, ’No, I’m not that strong yet! Ahead of me, there are countless challenges waiting for me to overcome, each step bringing me closer to that man. Not to weigh him down, but to become a shoulder he can rely on.’

...

The islands of the Bitter Sea are hidden in fog, making them hard to see from the sea’s surface.

Only upon approaching can one see the unique islands rising from the sea floor.

These islands resemble broken stone pillars or umbrellas emerging from the sea. One end slender, anchored deep in the sea, the wide end floating between the sky and the sea.

The islands feature mountains and rivers, forests and plains, abundant with birds and beasts. It was a paradise isolated from the world.

The islands are connected by resilient vines, with floating bridges erected on them, forming the main thoroughfares leading to each island.

On exposed rocks in the distance, Sea Demon sentinels observed the sea’s movements.

"Who goes there!" came a voice over the rippling sea at night.

Sea Demons are acutely sensitive to disturbances in the water, causing the sentinels on the rocks to be immediately on alert.

"It is I." From the darkness, a rough voice responded.

The Sea Demon sentinel stood up from the rock, straining his eyes toward the water’s surface.

Dispersing the mist, a group of Sea Demons riding spirit beast fish appeared in his view.

He immediately recognized the Sea Demon Commander at the forefront, an ingratiating smile appearing on his grotesque face, "So it’s Lord Jie Sang! Why are you here so late? Do you have business with us?"

Suddenly, his gaze caught the man beside Jie Sang, and his eyes narrowed sharply, his expression changing as he exclaimed, "Fu Kang, why are you here? Our lady said you are not allowed to set foot in our territory!"

The sentinel’s words sparked anger in Fu Kang’s eyes.

He seemed ready to kill the insolent sentinel.

However, before his temper could flare, Jie Sang stretched out a hand to stop him, "The matter at hand is urgent." One sentence deflated Fu Kang’s hostility.

After calming Fu Kang, Jie Sang spoke to the sentinel, "We need to see your Great Clan Chief; we have urgent matters to report."

Hearing there was an urgent matter, the sentinel dared not delay and immediately emitted a strange sound wave behind him.

Soon, another sound wave echoed in response from the shadows.

The sentinel then said to Jie Sang, "Lord Jie Sang, please come in."

He stepped aside to let Jie Sang and his people in.

Passing through the shallows surrounded by rocks, Jie Sang and Fu Kang arrived at a group of islands and the largest one standing in the center.

An elevator platform descended on the island, and Jie Sang and Fu Kang leapt onto it.

Then, someone above slowly hoisted the platform, bringing them onto the island.

Upon disembarking, they were met by dozens of Sea Demon soldiers.

The hideous faces of the Sea Demons made it impossible to discern their expressions. Only glimpses could be caught from their eyes.

"Follow me," said the leading Sea Demon to Jie Sang and Fu Kang, turning to lead the way. Unlike the sentinel, he did not display a fawning expression toward Jie Sang. It seemed he held a significant status here.

His attitude did not make Jie Sang or Fu Kang feel any dissatisfaction.

In fact, when facing this person, both displayed a subtle watchfulness in their eyes.

Someone who could cause caution in individuals at the Purple Realm Peak was certainly not ordinary!

On the road, there were houses and palaces.

However, compared to human structures, those of the Sea Demon Clan appeared more wild, rugged, and primitive. Many things were made with locally sourced materials, roughly processed for use in daily life, lacking human refinement and polish.

The houses of the Sea Demon Clan were built with sturdy tree trunks as beams, stone blocks for walls, and adorned with some special, brilliantly colored flowers and plants.

For those with high status, their walls were inlaid with luminescent shells and pearls.

Jie Sang and Fu Kang were brought to the exterior of the largest group of buildings.

With the Sea Demon as their guide, they entered without needing an announcement.

Inside, they saw several Sea Demon women lighting lamps crafted from fish oil to dispel the darkness.

After entering a spacious room, they paused.

Soon, footsteps approached, and a burly, robust Sea Demon clad in a robe sewn from fish skins emerged from within, walking directly to a chair made from large fish bones and sitting down.

"What brings both of you to see me at this hour?" asked the Great Clan Chief, looking at Jie Sang and Fu Kang.

His tone carried the weight of an elder.

Both Jie Sang and the fiery-tempered Fu Kang restrained themselves, maintaining the respectful demeanor befitting juniors in front of him.

"Great Clan Chief, Talisa is in trouble," Jie Sang said, gritting his teeth.

This sentence caused the Great Clan Chief’s previously lazy posture to lean forward, his eyes widening sharply.

The Sea Demon who led them also whipped his head around, his fierce eyes darting towards Jie Sang and Fu Kang.

"What exactly happened?" the Great Clan Chief demanded.

"It wasn’t us; humans intruded and have taken Talisa hostage," Fu Kang hurriedly explained.

"Humans!" A cold glint flashed in the Great Clan Chief’s eyes, his gaze growing sharper.

He slowly squinted his eyes, questioning Fu Kang and Jie Sang, "Are you saying that humans have appeared in the Sea Demon-controlled area?"

"Right!" This time, Nie Sang spoke before Fu Kang.

"How many of them are there? What is their purpose for taking Talisa?" The Great Clan Chief had regained his composure, and asked solemnly.

Nie Sang thought for a moment and replied, "There seem to be hundreds of people, they’re on the ship, we can’t ascertain clearly."

"The ugly man leading them said that if we let them pass through the area we control safely, they will release Talisa. Otherwise..." Fu Kang continued after Nie Sang.

He sneaked a glance at the Great Clan Chief and saw his expression had already turned icy. Only then did he quietly stammer, "Otherwise, we’re to prepare for Talisa’s corpse."

"Hmph!"

Fu Kang’s words had barely fallen when the Great Clan Chief roared explosively. The armrest of his fish bone seat shattered under his aura, disintegrating into grayish-white powder and falling to the ground.

Both Nie Sang and Fu Kang’s expressions changed, not daring to breathe heavily.

"Damn humans! Daring to kidnap my daughter to threaten me! Do they think such actions will make us Sea Demons submit?" The Great Clan Chief exclaimed with hatred.

Suddenly, he looked at the Sea Demon standing beside Nie Sang and Fu Kang, his expression softened a bit as he spoke to him, "Kun, go meet those humans and bring back your sister."

"Yes, foster father." The Sea Demon responded, then glanced at Nie Sang and Fu Kang coldly, "Lead the way."

"Just you alone?" Nie Sang exclaimed in surprise.

Kun coldly swept his gaze over, "I alone am enough."

Nie Sang wanted to say more but was secretly stopped by Fu Kang.

Nie Sang looked puzzled at Fu Kang, who shook his head at him.

Without saying more, Nie Sang and Fu Kang led Kun away, retracing their steps back to the surface of the sea.

Kun summoned his fish spirit beast, standing on its protruding back above the sea, following behind Nie Sang and Fu Kang.

"Why didn’t you let me speak earlier? Those humans, especially the one in the red clothes, are not to be trifled with! Our attacks can’t penetrate the defense on that ship." Nie Sang whispered to Fu Kang.

Fu Kang sneered, using his peripheral vision to glance secretly at Kun behind them.

Faced with Nie Sang’s questioning, he answered disdainfully, "Saying too much will only make the Great Clan Chief think we’re useless. Rather than wasting words, let Kun experience it firsthand. Isn’t he hailed by the elders as the first of our generation? I want to see if he can bring Talisa back this time."

Fu Kang’s words, tinged with jealousy, left Nie Sang silent.

Indeed, if Kun wasn’t the Great Clan Chief’s foster son, Talisa’s nominal brother, he would likely be the best candidate for Talisa’s husband.

However, within the Sea Demons, there’s also a rumor that Kun is the Great Clan Chief’s illegitimate child from outside, raised as a foster son. Thus, the Great Clan Chief never considered changing his status to marry his daughter to him.

Overall, there are many speculations about Kun, and his personal strength is formidable.

Gradually, he became an unsurpassable presence among the younger generation of Sea Demons, like a mountain weighing on their hearts.

Nie Sang and Fu Kang originally came with the intention of rescuing Talisa, but now, in front of Kun, their emotions were complicated.

They hoped Talisa could be saved, yet also wished Kun would stumble and fall from his pedestal.

...

On the Bitter Sea, the blackened sky gradually lightened, sunbeams pierced the clouds, casting rays upon the dark green sea surface as if gilding it with gold.

The massive ship heading to the Middle Ancient Realm moved slowly.

Amidst the dense fog, it felt as if an elusive world was hidden.

Suddenly, the massive ship stopped, floating on the sea surface.

Mu Qingge, who was cultivating in the cabin, ended her cultivation and slowly opened her clear eyes, filled with ambiguous emotions.

In the next instant, she disappeared from the cabin, appearing on the deck.

As soon as she reached the deck, Yin Chen and Bai Xi approached.

Bai Xi stood by her side, arms folded, sneering coldly, "Experts have arrived." Despite the words, her expression showed no signs of concern.

Yin Chen looked at Mu Qingge with serious eyes, "I’ll go meet him."

"No need." Mu Qingge gazed into the fog ahead and slowly shook her head. "I’ll go personally." She wanted to know the strength of the Sea Demons. Besides, to quickly enhance her abilities, she needed constant combat.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from behind, it was Mo Yang running over.

"Little Lord." Mo Yang called from behind Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge barely nodded and instructed him, "Keep an eye on that Sea Demon Clan’s top beauty, and have everyone stay alert to any movements around. If any Sea Demons try to infiltrate, show no mercy, kill them."

Since coexistence isn’t possible, she wouldn’t hold back.

If she didn’t kill a few, these Sea Demons might truly think she’s made of clay!

Mo Yang nodded and silently retreated.

Even if Mu Qingge was filled with slaughter and stained with blood, he still felt the Little Lord was the truest, most beautiful, and kindest existence.

Boom--!

A sudden loud noise erupted, like thunder striking on a dry day.

Mu Qingge raised her eyes and saw the glimmering defense shield around the ship flicker.

That was definitely not thunder, someone was attacking.

Bai Xi sneered disdainfully, "Truly impatient!"

"Brute." Yin Chen also gave a subtle comment.

Mu Qingge only slightly lifted the corner of her lips, revealing an enigmatic smile.

Upon the sea, in the distant waters from the massive ship, Nie Sang and Fu Kang stood side by side.

Kun was no longer behind them; he had gone towards the massive ship.

They watched Kun attack the ship’s outer defense while suspended in the air with a look of amusement in their eyes.

"Do you think he can break this defense?" Nie Sang asked.

Fu Kang, rarely engaging in a calm conversation with Nie Sang, couldn’t help but show a trace of mockery upon hearing his words, "Just wait, maybe our Kun will have a hard fall here."

"What about Talisa?" Nie Sang frowned.

Fu Kang seemed less concerned about this. "Don’t worry, those humans want to cross the sea; before achieving their goal, Talisa is safe."

Nie Sang looked at Fu Kang, frowned, and said displeasedly, "Your dark thoughts are becoming more like humans."

Fu Kang nonchalantly replied, "Don’t forget, our ancestors included humans."

"Are you gloating about this?" Nie Sang asked.

Fu Kang shook his head with a cold smile, "I’m merely stating a fact."

Nie Sang frowned, reminding him, "Regardless, we’re against humans."

"Rest assured, I won’t forget this. Since humans abandoned us before, they’re our enemies!" Fu Kang replied, his eyes already showing a murderous intent.

Boom boom--!

Two more consecutive strikes targeted the defense shield but still couldn’t shake the massive ship’s protection.

On the deck, Bai Xi exclaimed, "What kind of power does it take to break this shield? I can feel that the previous attacks on the shield have already reached the Spiritual Movement Stage."

Mu Qingge pressed her lips in silence, inwardly calculating.

What Si Mo gave her naturally wouldn’t be inferior. But where’s the limit? What’s the highest cultivation on the Bitter Sea?

Alternatively, how many attacks can this defense shield withstand?

If all the Sea Demons targeted the massive ship, how long could this seemingly invincible shield endure?

Mu Qingge slowly lowered her gaze, her eyes flickering slightly.

Outside the massive ship, Kun held a trident and looked at the ship on the sea, furrowing his brow.

After a moment of silence, he lifted the trident again, swinging it in the air, a force even more formidable and sweeping than before shot from the trident straight at the ship.

Yet before it reached the ship, the defense shield blocked it again, rebounding to the nearby sea, causing a loud explosion.
