The vast sea surface.

Five hundred miles from the coastline.

A warship, with the "Gu" banner high, is chasing a Giant-toothed Demon Shark.

Spiritual Energy Cannons occasionally fire, exploding the water into waves.

The Giant-toothed Demon Shark is hooked by a Demon-Catching Hook from the Gu Family's warship and is frantically fleeing into the sea.

The Gu Family's warship is being dragged and swaying, occasionally sinking below the sea.

Fortunately, there are four Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the ship, including the Patriarch of the Gu Family and Gu Yingjie.

Each exerts Spiritual Power, tightly pulling the Shark Hook Magical Treasure.

They barely managed to hold onto the Giant-toothed Demon Shark, preventing it from dragging them into the deep sea.

"Aim better!"

"If you miss again, the warship will be dragged into the sea!"

The Patriarch of the Gu Family yelled angrily.

In the sea, they can't handle this Giant-toothed Demon Shark.

Moreover, they might encounter other Water Demons.

Many are stronger than this Giant-toothed Demon Shark.

"Useless! Hold tight, let me do the shooting!"

The Patriarch of the Gu Family personally manned the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

Divine Sense locked onto the Giant-toothed Demon Shark, and a cannon shot hit accurately.

The flesh body of the Giant-toothed Demon Shark is extremely robust.

Despite this, it was blasted by the Spiritual Energy Cannon into a deep pit, with blood and flesh flying!

"Alright!"

Seeing the injured Giant-toothed Demon Shark with its Demon Power greatly reduced, the Patriarch of the Gu Family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll pull it in, you go and kill it!"

With that said.

The other three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Gu Family brought out their Magical Treasures and attacked the Giant-toothed Demon Shark.

Watching the Demon Power of the Giant-toothed Demon Shark gradually dissipate, the cultivators on the Gu Family's warship cheered joyfully!

The Giant-toothed Demon Shark, a Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beast.

Its Demon Core and giant teeth alone are worth forty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Its heavy shark meat can sell for fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

A single Giant-toothed Demon Shark is worth a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

It's equivalent to three sect-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Later, extract the shark blood and sell it to Shen the Talisman Master from Cyan Cloud Sect!"

"Alright!"

Everyone was elated.

Going out to hunt demons isn't easy.

Not to mention the difficulty in finding Demon Beasts.

Even if found, they are not easily hunted.

Moreover, the East Sea has numerous powerful Demon Beasts.

The smell of blood easily attracts other hunters.

"Now that I think about it, Shen the Talisman Master's offer is quite fair. These Demon Shark Essence Bloods should sell for seven or eight thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Of course, exchanging them for Thunder Talismans is even better!"

In recent years, the warship of the Gu Family has been invincible in nearby sea areas, with no one daring to provoke them.

Aside from the strong cultivation of Gu Family cultivators, the warship's performance and powerful firepower, the Thunder and Poison Talismans acquired from Shen Xuan played a significant role.

No matter how strong you are, under simultaneous bombardment by ten Thunder Talismans from Gu Family cultivators, you'll not leave unscathed.

Plus, the Poison Talisman with its wide-range attack.

Its toxicity is severe.

Even if one can detoxify, they must defend against it, consuming considerable Spiritual Power.

"Let's head back."

The Patriarch of the Gu Family commanded.

With a smug look on his face.

Under his leadership, the Gu Family in Sea City is thriving.

Recently, they purchased two Foundation Establishment Pills, successfully helping a family member achieve Foundation Establishment.

A Dao and Demon dispute erupted between Song Country and Liang Country.

The Gu Family in Sea City stood firm.

Only a few reckless Demon Cultivators came over, easily wiped out by the Gu Family members.

At this moment, a warning signal sounded from the lookout on the warship.

"A Tier Two Water Demon is rapidly approaching!"

The Patriarch of the Gu Family's expression changed.

"Quickly store the Demon Shark, everyone to your positions!"

Gu Yingjie and the other three worked to drag the Giant-toothed Demon Shark onto the warship.

The Patriarch of the Gu Family stood before the Spiritual Energy Cannon, tense.

In the distance, on the sea.

A Water Demon resembling a Flood Dragon Snake approached, stepping on the water.

"It's..."

As the Water Demon drew near, the Patriarch of the Gu Family was astonished to find a cultivator riding it.

"Is it him?"

The arrival was Shen Xuan, riding the Silver-winged Python.

On his way back to Yunyuan Immortal City, he detoured to check the Giant-toothed Demon Shark's area.

Unexpectedly, he indeed encountered it.

Unfortunately, he arrived a bit late.

The Giant-toothed Demon Shark was already slain, dragged onto the warship by Gu Family cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you still recognize Shen?"

To prevent misunderstanding, Shen Xuan sent a message early on.

He wouldn't go to war with the Gu Family for a mere Giant-toothed Demon Shark.

In this circumstance, he's ninety-nine percent confident of defeating the Gu Family cultivators with their warship.

However, there's no need!

The Gu Family hasn't offended him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, we haven't seen each other for years, your charisma surpasses the past!"

"Old Gu here may have poor eyesight, but dare not forget Shen the Talisman Master."

The Patriarch of the Gu Family glanced at the Silver-winged Python, secretly amazed.

He, being a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, can easily tell that the Silver-winged Python has been dead for some time, with no signs of life.

What amazed him was that the corpse of the Silver-winged Python still emanated dense Demon Power, moving freely.

"Is this Corpse Refining Technique? Or the rumored Corpse Beast Technique?"

The Patriarch of the Gu Family wondered, secretly alarmed.

Shen Xuan leaped up, landing on the Gu Family's warship.

The Silver-winged Python transformed into a silver light, stored in his Corpse Beast Bag.

"I originally came for this Giant-toothed Demon Shark, didn't expect Fellow Daoist Gu to beat me to it!"

"Well said! Yingjie, bring out the Demon Shark Essence Blood for Shen the Talisman Master to inspect!"

Shen Xuan glanced at the Giant-toothed Demon Shark Essence Blood handed over by Gu Yingjie.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, name your price!"

"Thirty Thunder Talismans, including ten top-grade ones."

Shen Xuan chuckled.

"Ordinary Thunder Talismans are no problem, but I don't have top-grade ones."

"With the Dao and Demon disputes between Song and Liang Countries, Fellow Daoist Gu, don't drive a hard bargain!"

Thunder Talismans have a restraining effect on Demon Cultivators.

Fellow Daoist Gu's asking price is worth twelve thousand Spirit Stones.

But there's no market for it.

"What does Shen the Talisman Master propose?"

"Thirty ordinary Thunder Talismans."

The Patriarch of the Gu Family pondered for a moment, then heartily laughed: "As Shen the Talisman Master suggests!"

"After all, we're longtime friends!"

After the transaction.

Shen Xuan was about to leave.

At this time, the lookout signaled again.

On the sea, a black warship rode the waves towards them.

"It's He Qing, the Calm Sea Flood Dragon!"

Someone whispered softly.

"Be prepared and vigilant. This He Qing doesn't recognize kin!"

"Understood!"

A sense of slaughter permeated.

The black warship stopped thirty yards opposite the Gu Family's warship.

On the bow, stood three black-clothed Tribulation Cultivators.

The one in the center was tall, burly, with great presence.

"Old Gu, doing quite a business, capturing a Giant-toothed Demon Shark!"

The Patriarch of the Gu Family stepped forward, chuckling: "Not at all! Just lucky!"

"Can't compare to Boss He! Casually earning tens of thousands of Spirit Stones."

He Qing waved his hand: "Recently, luck's been bad, haven't opened for business in a while!"

His gaze fell on Shen Xuan.

"This Fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar, may I ask who you are?"

"Cyan Cloud Sect, Shen Xuan."

Shen Xuan cupped his fists in salute.

He Qing's expression changed.

He's different from the Gu Family.

The Gu Family has land-based businesses, adhering to the law.

He, however, is a bona fide pirate Tribulation Cultivator.

Wanted by many sects, rarely setting foot ashore.

"Haha. We're all struggling for a living on the sea, happy to meet a great sect cultivator today!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

Turning to the Patriarch of the Gu Family, he said: "I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave, see you later!"

Having said that, Shen Xuan cast a spell, leaping into the sea, walking on the waves.

He Qing glanced around.

Taking his eyes off the direction where Shen Xuan disappeared.

"Old Gu, I have matters today, let's chat another day!"

With a wave.

The black warship turned its bow, heading straight towards Shen Xuan's direction!
