Chapter 2579: Taken All in One Pot

Huang Lao simply wasn't afraid of this Heavenly Spirit Tribe; compared to the Human Race, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe's strength was too weak.

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie became excited, while Ye Zhangqing remained unfazed.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's aura gradually calm, the four exchanged a glance, and Huang Lao promptly lifted the spatial seal around them.

Watching the seal being removed, Ling Yunyi, though feeling a bit uneasy, dared not show it at all.

Instead, he simply kept on smiling.

He also knew he still needed to rely more on Ye Zhangqing, just like Yu Hengxin did.

He had just clung to Ye Zhangqing's thigh and already achieved such great merit— isn't that the best proof?

Otherwise, with just Yu Hengxin's meager abilities, could he possibly have such a performance?

So, as long as he can also, like Yu Hengxin, tightly hold onto Ye Zhangqing's thigh, what's there to fear about lacking future opportunities to achieve merit?

He clearly understood what was more important.

Faced with Ling Yunyi's respectful, even fawning attitude, Ye Zhangqing calmly inquired about many details concerning this salmon— no, about the Sea God.

At first everything seemed normal, until Ling Yunyi, without thinking much, blurted out a sentence.

"Young Master Ye, you may not know, but the Sea God is not just a single entity; it is an entire clan, and the Sea God clan is the guardian deity of our Heavenly Spirit Tribe."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, all four were stunned— the Sea God isn't just this one, right?

For a moment, Xu Jie's eyes turned red from hearing this— with such great news, why didn't you say so earlier?

I had thought this Sea God was just the one before us, but I never expected it to be an entire clan.

This is literally like a pie falling from the sky.

In that case, we no longer need to worry about the ingredient issue.

Moreover, we had originally planned to strike directly, but upon learning that the Sea God was actually an entire clan, the four quickly calmed down.

Now, acting openly, we need not fear the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

But doing so will inevitably make us enemies with the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and they will surely become wary in the future.

Not to mention the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, even the Sea God clan that Ling Yunyi spoke of will likely be on guard.

By then, trying to obtain such supreme ingredients won't be impossible, but the difficulty will definitely increase significantly.

In that case, wouldn't it be better to… just take them all in one pot?

For now, let's hold back; when we find an opportunity to locate these Sea Gods' nest, we'll uproot them completely, yielding a greater harvest.

Without communicating, the four tacitually arrived at the same idea.

When people think about eating, their minds often become unusually sharp.

As for opportunities, isn't there an unparalleled good chance right now?

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe children sacrificed to the Sea God— according to Ling Yunyi, these offerings are meant to be taken away by the Sea God.

They are not simply devoured on the spot.

Thus, we only need to place a mark on those Heavenly Spirit Tribe children, and we can then fully rely on it to locate the Sea Gods' nest.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, and Zhao Zhengping all glanced at Huang Lao without changing expression.

Huang Lao, too, understood the glance tacitly.

Among those present, he was the only one capable of leaving a mark on those Heavenly Spirit Tribe children without anyone noticing.

The old geezer of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe isn't here, and no one present could detect Huang Lao's method.

After exchanging glances, Huang Lao, without startling anyone, quietly placed the mark on the bodies of these ten-plus Heavenly Spirit Tribe children.

After doing all that, Ye Zhangqing and the three felt reassured, and they then looked forward to the proceedings of the sacrifice with anticipation.

Especially when looking at that huge shadow in the sea, their eyes burned with fervor.

However, the fervor of the three sworn brothers was completely different from the fervor in the eyes of many Heavenly Spirit Tribe members.

When the Heavenly Spirit Tribe faces the Sea God, it is reverence, worship, and respect.

And the fervor of Ye Zhangqing and his two sworn brothers? Simply put, it's just sheer greed for food.

Supreme ingredients— we've never encountered anything like them before; even the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon could only rate them as top-tier ingredients.

We really wish we could rush to the Sea Gods' nest right now and take them all in one pot.

But now is not the time; we forcibly suppress our excitement.

This temporary restraint is to obtain more ingredients.

Thus, Ye Zhangqing and the four silently endured until the sacrifice ended.

During this, as the Sea God leapt high, it turned out to be a salmon from our previous life, only much larger in size.

Controlling the seawater, it directly swept those ten-plus Heavenly Spirit Tribe children into the sea, then swiftly swam far away and vanished.

Watching the Heavenly Spirit Tribe's ten-plus sacrifices being taken by the Sea God, Ye Zhangqing and the four were full of anticipation.

The mark has already been placed; afterward, we only need to follow this mark to precisely locate that Sea God, and then find its nest.

Unless it doesn't return home, we will surely take them all in one pot.

All that remains is to wait for the time to cast the net; under Ling Yunyi's leadership, Ye Zhangqing's group also set out after the sacrifice ended.

During this, several elders of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe even came forward personally to greet Huang Lao.

Faced with the Human Race's ultimate powerhouse, even those few Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders were all deferential and respectful.

Because we can't afford to provoke them— the Human Race's ultimate powerhouse is already capable of wiping out the tribe; even if it can't destroy them outright, it can cripple the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, so we must maintain the proper attitude.

Huang Lao gave a perfunctory reply; his mind was now filled with the supreme ingredient, leaving no time to argue with these people.

Now he just wants to get his hands on the ingredients and then properly taste what they're like.

Following beside Ye Zhangqing, at some point Huang Lao's mouth had become spoiled.

He just likes to eat something delicious— what's wrong with that?

After bidding farewell to everyone, he returned to his residence under Ling Yunyi's personal accompaniment.

Thank you, Lingzi.

Young master, you overpraise me; this is all I should do.

After a few polite words, Ye Zhangqing cited fatigue and had Ling Yunyi leave first.

Seeing Ling Yunyi off, the four sat in the rear courtyard, and Huang Lao carefully set up a ward to prevent eavesdropping.

Although this was unlikely, caution makes for a safe journey, especially when it concerns a matter as important as the supreme ingredient; one cannot be careless.

After ensuring there were no problems, Xu Jie spoke urgently.

Huang Lao, quickly sense whether that ingredient has returned to its lair.

Hearing this, Huang Lao wasted no words, promptly sensed, and then shook his head.

It seems not yet; it has been moving all along.

If it had returned to its lair, the dozen or so Heavenly Spirit Tribe children shouldn't still be moving; they ought to be gathered and confined.

As things stand, it likely hasn't arrived yet; the Sea God's lair seems not close.

That slow?

They've all returned to their residence, yet the ingredient hasn't arrived home; what have they been doing along the way?

Xu Jie felt a bit disappointed, but for now he could only wait.

A good meal fears neither lateness nor a longer wait.

Even though everyone endured at the start, are we still afraid of this?

Huang Lao closely monitored every move of the Sea God, waiting for it to reach home.
