They followed behind Zhan Huantai, watching how he would lure those sea demons in front over.

As they approached the sea demon army, they saw Zhan Huantai release the aura of a Martial Saint, his body transforming into a stream of light, quickly striking at a sea demon among the sea demon army.

That sea demon, with an appearance similar to that of an ordinary Shrimp Soldier, was naturally regarded by Zhan Huantai as a trivial character.

Not far away, Duan Gujin saw Zhan Huantai attack a sea demon and merely frowned slightly. He understood that Zhan Huantai was doing this to draw those sea demon armies forward, to engage in a fierce battle with the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples, allowing the three of them to benefit from the conflict.

Suddenly, Duan Gujin sensed the presence of danger, his eyes widening as he gasped.

"Something's happening!"

He immediately transmitted a message secretly to Qing Lian, instructing her to prepare for battle.

"I sense danger too!"

Qing Lian quickly responded with a secret message.

When a martial artist's spiritual power reaches a certain realm, they can sense the presence of danger.

"Damn! Could there be an expert lurking within the sea demon army ahead?"

His mind raced as he considered the possibility that an expert sea demon might be lurking within the sea demon army ahead.

They had previously sensed the presence of a Shattering Void realm devil clan among the sea demon army. They knew that this premonition was not merely warning them of the sea demon army with a Shattering Void realm sea demon but signalling the hidden presence of a more dangerous Shattering Void realm sea demon within the sea demon army ahead.

Moreover, the hidden Shattering Void realm devil clan sea demon's power was even more hazardous than the one they had detected with Divine Sense earlier.

"Kill!"

However, just as Duan Gujin and Qing Lian both looked grave, feeling the danger present, Zhan Huantai ahead remained enthusiastic, thinking he could easily complete the mission this time.

In Zhan Huantai's view, the mission posed no real challenge; he planned in his mind to first eliminate the Shrimp Soldier ahead, then dispose of a few more Shrimp Soldiers.

This way, he would incite the hatred of those sea demon armies.

When they charged towards him, he'd dodge, leading the sea demon army to the entrance of the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples' stronghold.

Then, he would shout loudly, claiming to have discovered a sea demon army rushing towards them.

If the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples asked him his purpose, he would reveal himself as a spy.

Once the Human Clan and sea demons encountered each other underwater, there was no chance for dialogue, only mutual slaughter. He believed that as soon as the sea demon army met the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples, they would fight to the death.

"Perfect!"

Zhan Huantai mused, internally feeling that he was of exceptional talent, merely restrained by being on Yuanzhen Continent. If he had been born on Jiuzhou Continent like Duan Gujin and Qing Lian, he would have reached their level too.

"Let my glorious journey begin with you!"

Zhan Huantai fixed his eyes on the Little Shrimp Sea Demon ahead, his expression exuberant as if he had a surge of adrenaline.

However, the next moment, his smile froze. He discovered that the strength of the Small Shrimp Sea Demon, which he had considered within his grasp, had suddenly surged.

When he saw clearly that the sea demon had released a Nine-Headed Snake Martial Soul, Zhan Huantai's face turned pale. Horror filled his heart, which began to pound uncontrollably.

He knew that among sea demons, the Nine-Headed Snake was a very special species.

It could be said that among all the sea demons on Yuanzhen Continent, the Nine-Headed Snake's combat power was the strongest. This species was born to be the kings of all sea demons on Yuanzhen Continent.

They were naturally equipped with sturdy scale armor and had strong regenerative abilities. As long as the nine heads were not completely destroyed, they could grow back.

"Oh no! It's the Nine-headed Sea Demon!"

Realizing he had hit a hard obstacle, Zhan Huantai flashed back swiftly.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Meanwhile, the Shrimp Soldier Sea Demon's illusion was lifted, revealing the true form of the Nine-Headed Snake.

Not far away, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian gasped when they saw the Nine-Headed Snake's true form.

"You go rescue Zhan Huantai, I'll hold off that Nine-Headed Snake!"

Duan Gujin shouted, flashing himself into a stream of light and charging forward swiftly.

"Alright!"

Qing Lian responded briefly, rushing rapidly towards Zhan Huantai's position.

"Humans, you die!"

The Nine-headed Sea Demon roared angrily, all nine heads spewing a black substance at Zhan Huantai.

The substance was jet-black, rushing toward Zhan Huantai at great speed.

This substance was the Nine-Headed Snake's renowned martial skill. Inside it was a potent black venom; once it touched someone, it paralyzed them completely, making it impossible to operate any Primordial Power within a hundred breaths.

If a poisoned individual forcibly operated Primordial Power, the venom would quickly spread through their body, causing fatal damage.

Sensing an array of hidden weapons behind him, Zhan Huantai's face tensed.

"Damn, am I doomed to die here today?"

He rushed forward, desperately trying to outpace the hidden weapons pursuing him.

However, the hidden weapons behind were extremely fast and on the verge of catching up to him.

At this moment, he saw two figures appearing ahead.

"They've come to save me!"

His heart filled with delight, recognizing it was Duan Gujin and Qing Lian coming to his rescue.

Zhan Huantai saw Qing Lian send several palm strikes towards the water behind him, then the seawater froze instantly.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

He heard the rapid sounds of freezing behind him.

Next, he heard rumbling explosions endlessly, guessing that the Nine-headed Sea Demon's hidden weapons had been striking the ice, causing violent bursts.

Though unsure if the ice could block the hidden weapons, he accelerated forward.

At that moment, he felt a grip on his right arm, a powerful force emanating from someone pulling him swiftly forward.

Looking clearly, Zhan Huantai realized it was Qing Lian who had come to his rescue.

"Thank you, young lady!"

Zhan Huantai thanked immediately.

"You're welcome, let's leave here quickly. Leave the rest to him!"

Qing Lian said.

"Alright!"

Zhan Huantai's old face turned slightly red. He originally intended to impress Qing Lian, but unexpectedly hit such a hard wall, encountering the most talented and powerful Nine-headed Sea Demon. Where could he save face?

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and quickly recovered his composure.

"I never expected that the Nine-headed Snake would disguise itself as a normal Shrimp Soldier Sea Demon. I nearly suffered a big loss!"

Zhan Huantai criticized himself.

"It's okay, don't dwell on it! That Nine-headed Snake deliberately disguised itself as a Shrimp Soldier Sea Demon, surely with a conspiracy!"

Qing Lian affirmed.

"Indeed, those sea demons surely have a major conspiracy, though it's unclear what they intend to do!"

Zhan Huantai breathed a sigh of relief, internally reassured that attributing his oversight to the sea demons' conspiracy would convince Qing Lian that he wasn't more trouble than he was worth.
