Eastern Wilderness Edge.

The place where Chang'sheng Lin, Zhuo Yijian, Consort Ling and the others fell—this valley and the surrounding peaks had all vanished, leaving behind a massive Celestial Pit!

Exactly one day after Chang'sheng Lin plunged inside.

Three young figures landed at the edge of the Celestial Pit.

Of the three, one wore an Iron Head Mask, his cultivation at Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

The other two, one at Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, the other also at Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

"How did this happen? The Ghost Dao Tracking ends right here... Could it be, that bastard actually went inside?"

Xuan Gu looked down at the Tracking Disc in his hand, his brows drawn tight in concern.

The Ghost Dao Tracking imprint flickered in and out—proving the killer wasn't dead inside the pit!

"Junior Brother Xuan, there's no telling how deep it goes in there. Even probing it with Divine Sense is like an ox sinking in the sea! This..."

Iron Eagle stared at his junior brother Xuan Gu, feeling utterly helpless inside.

To avenge Xuan Jing, the one they lost, they'd been tracking the killer for months. Now the Ghost Dao Tracking imprint was fixed here. But it was likely the killer had gone into the Celestial Pit.

However—

This pit exuded a powerful suction. He'd tossed in a big rock, and it was swallowed up instantly!

Judging by this, even if a cultivator entered, it'd be certain death!

Right now, he just hoped his junior brother would back out of this hunt. Though loyal to their master, he had no desire to risk his neck in the Celestial Pit chasing Xuan Jing's killer!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Gu was silent for a while, then sighed. "Senior brothers, this Celestial Pit is absolutely deadly. Let's go back."

Xuan Gu was a genius of the Celestial Ghost Sect, having refined a strand of Heaven and Earth Qi. He was no fool. He could read his senior brothers like an open book.

Besides, he understood just how dangerous the pit was.

"Junior Brother Xuan, let's wait here for half a month. If the bastard hasn't crawled up or the tracking imprint disappears, it means he's dead! Then we can head back."

Tie Chou suddenly spoke up.

"That works!"

Xuan Gu and Iron Eagle both nodded in agreement.

......

........

Half a month later.

Spirit-Seizing Land.

The sky was dark and oppressive.

Endless mists shrouded the entire Cloud Map Tribe. Gradually, a stench permeated the air.

"Not good! The Sea Demon Beast Tide is back again!"

"......"

Suddenly, outside the main gates of Cloud Map Tribe, a flurry of shouting erupted. Amid the thick mist, a number of seasoned sentry guards came sprinting in panic.

These sentry guards were selected from among the tribe's sharp-eyed, experienced members. At the first sign of Sea Demon Beasts invading, they'd sound the alarm in advance and prepare to repel the attack.

"Quick, raise the main gate!"

"Everyone—take up the high ground and hold back the beast tide!"

A powerful voice rang out, and the tribe's chief, Tu Mu, appeared atop the three-zhang-high stone walls surrounding the base.

Tu Mu gripped a long spear, imposing and fierce, his aura terrifying.

Beside him stood a tall, thin middle-aged man with a longsword in hand—that was the Second Commander, Zhang Nian.

To his right was Third Commander Shao Yicheng—a huge, rotund man wielding a Long Saber, his strength at the Martial Arts Grandmaster early stage.

"So this is the Sea Demon Beast Tide?"

Chang'sheng Lin gripped his Long Saber, eyes narrowing as he eyed the shadowy shapes in the distance.

These Sea Demon Beasts included massive red crabs the size of a zhang across; three-zhang-long crocodiles armored in iron; grotesque slug-like creatures stretching three zhangs; and giant clam-like sea beasts each a zhang large...

"Swish swish swish!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"......."

As Chang'sheng Lin reeled at the sight, the tribe's warriors and strong men sprang into action—long spears, Feathered Arrows, all unleashed in a volley!

The lead Sea Demon Beasts toppled one after another.

Yet more pressed behind, slamming into the walls.

Elsewhere, Zhuo Yijian and the four juniors from Celestial Sword Immortal Sect—Zhang Aoxue, Fu Qingyu, Consort Ling, and others—stood ready with their weapons.

But—

Worry was plain in all their eyes.

Their magical power was down to half. They all knew that without Spiritual Energy to replenish, it was just a matter of time before it ran out.

For now, that magical power was all they had left—they had to conserve it at all costs.

"My magical power is down to half, but luckily my body is tough. The Golden Bell Shield Twelve Gates is at Perfection—even standing among the demon beasts, they can't break my defense!"

Chang'sheng Lin watched the warriors slaying demon beasts, thinking privately.

He joined the warriors, hacking at demon beasts—though he purposely hid the full strength of his body, letting it seem only marginally stronger than the average man.

Out here in the Spirit-Seizing Land, nothing was certain.

Better to keep a low profile.

"Bad news! Two Tier One Middle Stage Sea Demon Beasts!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Just then, four or five warriors up front were ripped apart, their screams echoing, sending a wave of panic through the crowd.

Tu Mu, Shao Yicheng, and Zhang Nian's expressions changed instantly and rushed forward.

Chang'sheng Lin whipped his head around and spotted two enormous sea snakes—their bodies as thick as water barrels, stretching nearly five zhangs, covered in pitch-black scales!

Their blood-red tongues flickered, piercing straight through a warrior's heart!

Tu Mu, Shao Yicheng, and Zhang Nian charged the beasts, holding the line—but were forced to retreat step by step!

"This is bad! These two sea demons are much stronger than before!"

Tu Mu bellowed, then called out to Zhuo Yijian and his people nearby in a deep voice. "Immortal Masters, with your strength, slaying these Sea Demon Beasts is nothing. Anyone who helps the Cloud Map Tribe today will forever be a hero among us!"
