Chapter 1261: Arrival at the Sea Clan

Within the dim ocean.

A large area of seawater vanished, briefly forming a vacuum zone.

In this vacuum zone, an Integration Initial Stage Cultivator of the Octopus Clan was sent flying backward.

During the backward flight, his physical body cracked inch by inch.

Cracks like spiderwebs spread across his entire body.

His face did not show pain at first, but rather astonishment, as if he had not yet reacted.

Before he could recover his senses.

The fist Wang Jianqiang swung suddenly turned from a fist into a claw, grabbing fiercely.

Crackle~

A dark red thunderbolt instantly tore through the air and landed on the Octopus Clan cultivator.

The Octopus Clan cultivator's physical body suffered another blow and completely collapsed.

"You are not a Grey Shrimp Clan cultivator!"

"Who exactly are you!"

Amidst a voice revealing panic and anger, the Octopus Clan cultivator's Nascent Soul escaped from his body and put distance between himself and Wang Jianqiang.

From afar, he looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of vigilance.

"Ye is indeed not a Sea Clan cultivator."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, a flash of Spirit Light on his body, transforming into a handsome young man, "But you are already unable to protect yourself now; even if you have seen through Ye's identity, so what?"

"You are..."

"Ye Lingyun?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's "true appearance," this Octopus Clan cultivator was stunned and blurted out Wang Jianqiang's "name."

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback and raised an eyebrow, "You know Ye?"

He had only thought that since he had just let Xuan Che make a name for himself, he should spread the favor around.

He did not expect Ye Lingyun's reputation to be so great.

He was recognized the moment he appeared.

Upon hearing this, the Octopus Clan cultivator opened his mouth as if to say something.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang showing a listening expression.

He turned his body and transformed into a stream of light, fleeing toward the distance.

The moment he fled.

Whoosh~

A dark red electric light tore through the void and struck his Nascent Soul body.

Destruction Power erupted.

The Octopus Clan cultivator screamed, instantly suffering heavy injuries and nearing death.

He sank toward the seabed.

Just at this moment.

A suction force suddenly landed on the Octopus Clan cultivator's Nascent Soul.

The Octopus Clan cultivator was already at death's door and had no power to resist; pulled by this suction, he flew into Wang Jianqiang's hand.

Wang Jianqiang grabbed the Octopus Clan cultivator's Nascent Soul with one hand, extended a finger, and pointed at the center of the Octopus Clan cultivator's brow.

Spirit Sense surged in, and he began Soul Searching on him.

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang erased the Octopus Clan cultivator's consciousness and put him away.

The answer he wanted to obtain had already been seen in the Octopus Clan cultivator's memories.

After the Sea Clan failed to invade the Eight Continents and retreated back to the Sea Region.

Among those forces that invaded the Eight Continents, the top several major powers jointly issued a wanted notice.

There were not many spots on the wanted notice.

These people were all cultivators who had caused significant damage to the Sea Clan cultivators during the battle with the Eight Continents.

Gui Yingjun, Xuan Ji, Qi Tongtian...

All were on the wanted notice.

Besides these, there were two others on this wanted notice who caught Wang Jianqiang's attention.

Ku Dashi and the mysterious Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

Ku Dashi and the Eighth-Rank Alchemist, although they had not directly killed Sea Clan cultivators, the losses they indirectly caused to the Sea Clan were beyond doubt.

As for that mysterious Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was likely him.

It was just that Wen Tiansheng had done a good job with confidentiality, and the Sea Clan forces had not discovered his identity.

Besides this, there was one more person who was particularly eye-catching.

That was Ye Lingyun!

The cultivators who could make it onto the wanted notice were almost all Great Vehicle Stage cultivators.

Even Ku Dashi's cultivation had already reached the Void Refinement Perfection Stage level.

Only Ye Lingyun had a cultivation of merely the Spirit Transformation Stage.

This also made him incomparably dazzling on the wanted notice.

And precisely because of this.

As this wanted poster was issued by several top Sea Region powers.

Every Cultivator who received the wanted poster took note of Ye Lingyun.

Some who were unaware might wonder what right or ability a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator had to appear on this wanted poster, sharing it with a host of Great Vehicle Stage powerhouses and an Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

Only those who had participated in the battle to invade the Eight Continents and had seen Ye Lingyun's performance with their own eyes knew just how hateful this bastard truly was.

He had never slain any high-level Sea Clan Cultivators; the Sea Clan Cultivators who died by his hand were almost all at the Spirit Transformation Stage level.

Logically speaking, there were plenty of Cultivators at this level within the Sea Clan.

It should not have attracted such great attention.

But...

He killed far too many of them.

And he almost exclusively picked out the best among those Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators to slaughter.

Making those few top-tier powers feel incomparable heartache.

The Sea Giant clan suffered the most miserably, as their Spirit Transformation Stage prodigies were almost completely wiped out.

The impact and losses caused were no less than those of the Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators, and perhaps even higher.

It was precisely because of the appearance of the wanted poster that Ye Lingyun was now famous throughout the Sea Region.

There was almost no Cultivator at the Integration Stage or above who did not know this name.

So Ye Lingyun already had such great fame within this Sea Region.

Wang Jianqiang's face revealed a look of deep emotion.

Forget it, it is better not to use his appearance.

As his thoughts shifted, a flash of light appeared on his body.

He transformed back into that previous appearance of a shrimp-headed, human-bodied creature.

He continued to swim toward the depths of the Sea Region.

After leaving the battle area between the Bazhua Cultivators and the Mermaid Clan Cultivators far behind, the Spirit Light on Wang Jianqiang's body flashed once more.

He transformed into the appearance of the Mermaid Clan youth, Tianyu.

His cultivation was also suppressed under his control to the Nascent Soul Early Stage, the same level as Tianyu.

Afterward, following Tianyu's memories, he swam toward the place where the Mermaid Clan resided.

Three months later.

Wang Jianqiang arrived outside an undersea city.

This city was named Huanling City.

It was precisely the place where the Mermaid Clan lived in seclusion.

Huanling City was vast; looking out, a layer of faint white light enveloped the entire city, and the buildings inside were exquisite and magnificent.

After Wang Jianqiang observed the area outside Huanling City for a moment, he prepared to enter.

Suddenly, he saw.

A palanquin flying out from within Huanling City.

The palanquin was entirely white, as if crafted from Superior Grade fine jade.

Pulling the palanquin were three sea beasts that looked like horses but were not, with single horns on their heads and bodies covered in white scales.

This is...

A Dragon Horse!

Seeing these three sea beasts, a look of surprise flashed in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

The Dragon Horse, a rare type of sea beast.

Legend had it that they possessed a trace of the Divine Dragon Bloodline, and their combat power was extremely formidable.

And these three Dragon Horses had actually reached the Void Refinement Perfection Stage of cultivation!

To be able to have three Void Refinement Perfection Stage dragon beasts pull a palanquin.

Who exactly was inside this palanquin?

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, and he began to search through Tianyu's memories.

Immediately following.

He obtained the answer.

In the entire Mermaid Clan, only one person possessed dragon beasts as a mount.

That was...

The Mermaid Princess.
