Since Wang Junze chose to speak, he naturally wouldn't stop there.

"In the Ancient Ruins, I indeed received an inheritance, but I also enraged the Dragon Turtle because of it. This demon holds a deep grudge against me, and if it knows I've returned to the Nether Sea, it will surely not let it rest! I'm worried about this, so I feel uneasy."

Since he had been detected by Dugu Feng to be nervous, he had to explain the situation clearly.

After a pause, Wang Junze continued, "You may not know, but for this matter, I actually made some preparations. Wasn't there news that said the Dragon Turtle was a Saint Realm Demon King who had been injured and fell in realm?"

With a bitter smile, Wang Junze continued, "Actually, it was me who asked Pei Haoran to spread this news, aiming to use others to kill the Dragon Turtle."

Dugu Feng was also not surprised by this.

In fact, ever since the news came out, she had found out that it was Pei Haoran who spread it, she just didn't bother with such matters.

Wang Junze's direct admission of his involvement in the matter actually made Dugu Feng more satisfied with Wang Junze's attitude.

"Too fanciful. If the news was true and the Saint Realm Demon King really fell in the realm, how many ordinary cultivators would go to their deaths?" Dugu Feng lightly evaluated, "On this trip to the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion, if it goes well, I might conveniently help you rid of the Dragon Turtle on the way back."

"Thank you, my lord!"

He quickly expressed his gratitude, but in reality, Wang Junze's heart sank suddenly.

Dugu Feng was so confident, knowingly that the Dragon Turtle had fallen from being a Saint Realm Demon King, yet she dared to claim she could eliminate the Dragon Turtle? What does she rely on?!

Wait, Dugu Feng just mentioned after returning successfully from the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion, meaning... perhaps she's not yet confident in defeating the Dragon Turtle, but obtaining the treasures from the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion might make her fear no Dragon Turtle?

Thinking of this, even though he knew it would be risky to inquire further, Wang Junze couldn't help but ask again, "Master, what exactly is hidden in the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion that even you find so tempting?"

This matter was also something Wang Junze couldn't figure out.

Though Li Shang Sword Venerable was powerful, ultimately he was a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, dedicated to the Sword Dao, which should have nothing to do with Dugu Feng.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

With a cold expression, Dugu Feng directly scolded.

"Yes!"

It was something he had anticipated, so Wang Junze was not disappointed, answering obediently.

Using this opportunity to disclose the grudge between himself and the Dragon Turtle, if the plan succeeded, he could naturally further reduce Dugu Feng's suspicion of him, which was the real goal Wang Junze wanted to achieve.

After that, Dugu Feng no longer paid attention to Wang Junze. Taking heed from the previous lesson, Wang Junze also restrained his emotions, took out the elixir previously sent by the Master of All Things, and quietly cultivated.

Unknowingly, a night passed quietly, and when the first ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, Wang Junze slowly opened his eyes.

Subconsciously looking at the sea outside the flying ship, Wang Junze's heart jumped suddenly, feeling a sense of excitement!

He guessed right!

Normally, the Nether Sea's water is blue, stretching endlessly.

However, now the sea outside the flying ship was black!

Black water means abyss!

This was one of the forbidden zones of the Nether Sea, the Netherworld Abyss!

It was also the area Wang Junze previously speculated as the most likely location of the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion.

The logic was simple, for someone with a reputation like Li Shang Sword Venerable, who had once traversed the Nether Sea, leaving a sea of blood in his wake, if he were to build a mansion in it, he would choose a place rarely visited by people, preferably extremely dangerous, to prevent other demon cultivators from disturbing him to the greatest extent.

Even the Mirage Island where the Mirage Dragon lives could become a no-man's land, so the most probable location for the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion would be a real forbidden area.

And the most perilous forbidden zone in the Nether Sea is the Netherworld Abyss!

This was also the area prominently marked on all sea charts.

Approaching the Netherworld Abyss is signaled by the sea gradually turning black, bottomless.

Of course, without Dugu Feng leading the way, even reaching the Netherworld Abyss wouldn't mean finding the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion, just like in the past, who could find the Dragon Palace without the Maiden of the Sea?

Moreover, the Netherworld Abyss was a forbidden area, and finding the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion within it would be all the more challenging.

But... this was not important to Wang Junze at all.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously as Wang Junze pondered these things, a Dragon's Roar suddenly reverberated from afar. The next moment, Wang Junze clearly sensed a terrifying fluctuation, and the originally calm sea also surged with a terrifying tide!

The Mirage Dragon had led the Dragon Turtle here!

Almost in the instant he detected abnormalities around him, the Netherworld Flying Ship behind him suddenly accelerated, and those Blood Robe Guards flew out from the flying ship, surrounding the area where Dugu Feng's ship was.

"Not good, it's the Dragon Turtle!"

Leaping out of the Netherworld Flying Ship together with Dugu Feng, Wang Junze's face changed dramatically, and he anxiously spoke, "Master, we must leave quickly!"

"It's too late!"

Slightly squinting her eyes, Dugu Feng stepped forward, releasing a terrifying aura. Around her, it seemed as if a blood-colored essence was igniting, and this blood-red aura was burning!

Intimidation!

Sensing the approach of the Mirage Dragon and Dragon Turtle, Dugu Feng knew she couldn't avoid it. After all, she was not alone, and with Wang Junze, Jiao Yang, and the Blood Robe Guards around her, the best option was to release her aura directly, forcing the Dragon Turtle to retreat.

The Dragon Turtle, a being whose intelligence is no less than that of humans, would naturally be arrogant and unrestrained towards weaker humans, but would also retreat when confronting a formidable foe!

Having Entered the Path, Dugu Feng's full-force eruption would naturally make common demons retreat unless faced with a true Saint Realm Demon King.

Indeed, upon sensing Dugu Feng's aura, the Dragon Turtle's form suddenly halted, its instinct to avoid the powerful sensation.

However, almost simultaneously, the Mirage Dragon desperately flew towards Wang Junze while loudly crying for help, "Ye Piaoling, save me!"

"Damn it!"

Hearing the Mirage Dragon's voice, Wang Junze's face changed dramatically, cursing involuntarily.

"Hmm?"

Almost instinctively, Dugu Feng immediately sensed something amiss.

But before she could ask, Jiao Yang immediately explained, "Master, this dragon had helped Ye Piaoling during the competition for the Other Shore Flower, and now being chased by the Dragon Turtle, it probably aims to divert trouble!"

"Get lost!"

Without waiting for Dugu Feng to speak, anger flashed in Wang Junze's eyes as he swung his sword at the Mirage Dragon, trying to drive it away.

However, at the same moment, the Dragon Turtle also recognized Wang Junze, anger suddenly rising in its eyes, it shouted with a fierce voice, "Insect, I finally found you, die for me!"

With a flicker of its form, the Dragon Turtle ignored everyone else and rushed directly towards Wang Junze, its eyes revealing a bloody hue, a torrent of demon qi soaring to the sky in an instant!
