Chapter 1154: Chapter 751: Blood-tooth Shark Emperor

"I have connected the deep sea Spirit Vein, and anticipated this matter long ago. If there is no magical combat with several Tier Four Sea Race fellow daoists, you all would not be convinced. Otherwise, even if the Spirit Vein is connected, it would be difficult to prevent small conspiracies in the future, leading to endless turmoil."

"As the saying goes: only for a thousand days can one be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief? Over time, there will always be moments of negligence."

The Divine Dragon lifted its head, its gaze like cold electricity piercing towards the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor.

"In fact, I am also eager to witness the divine power of Fellow Daoist Shark Emperor."

Within the Demon Realm, silence reigned.

A fierce killing intent pervaded the air.

The Shen Xuan-transformed Divine Dragon coiled there, calm as ice within.

He indeed wanted to have a battle with the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor.

He held no absolute confidence in victory.

It would most likely result in mutual injury.

However, Shen Xuan had the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus for body protection, with divine powers like [Endless Life], [Ice Soul Regeneration], and [Self-Healing], boasting an astounding recovery power.

Even if severely injured, he could simply retreat to Starlight Island, close off and recuperate, recovering after some days.

But the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor was different.

Under the deep sea, the law of the jungle was even more prevalent.

If he were seriously injured in the fight, his power would greatly decline.

The great demon sea races that claimed brotherhood yet watched like tigers eyeing their prey would not miss this golden opportunity.

Among sea races, where is the righteousness to be found?

Only the most primitive plunder and devour.

As fellow predators, it was naturally a rivalry of life and death.

Seeing through this point was why Shen Xuan was so aggressive.

This was not just a contest of strength but also a gamble over circumstances and risk-bearing capabilities.

Undoubtedly, his path of retreat and tolerance for error far surpassed the opponent’s.

Shen Xuan had made the right bet.

In the Demon Realm, time seemed to stand still.

The face of the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor flickered between shades, his gaze repeatedly scanning the unmoving body of the Divine Dragon.

Constantly weighing the situation, struggling incessantly.

In the end, that fierce demon qi slowly subsided.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, I do not wish to be your enemy. However, you’ve relocated the deep sea Spirit Vein, and the various sea race factions will not stand idly by."

"Heh heh. This matter is simple. The connection tunnel for the Spirit Vein is long, and we need reliable guards to patrol it. If the Shark Emperor is interested, I can consider paying a protective fee, how about it?"

The gaze of the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor flickered, and after a few moments, he transformed into a wry, helpless smile.

"The duty of protection is an obligation my Blood-tooth Shark Race cannot shirk. Yet, I am curious, what remuneration would Fellow Daoist be willing to offer?"

The tense atmosphere quietly dispersed, transitioning into an implicit transaction.

After rounds of lip service and bargaining, terms were settled.

Two Purple Mansion Primordial Pills in exchange for a hundred-year duty of tunnel protection by the Blood-tooth Shark Race.

At Shen Xuan’s suggestion, the Tiger Whale Emperor and True Monarch Tian Gong entered the Demon Realm.

The Blood-tooth Shark Emperor accepted the two Purple Mansion Primordial Pills, examining them carefully, noting the swirling pill patterns and soul-enchanting aroma, confirming they were Tier Four Spirit Pills.

He hesitated no longer, signing and stamping on the Spirit Contract with Demon Power.

If the tunnel is damaged by external enemies within a hundred years, the Blood-tooth Shark Race will be responsible for compensating the losses.

After a hundred years, they will reassess the situation to renew the contract.

Having gained benefits, the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor’s attitude softened, bowing to the Tiger Whale Emperor, apologetically saying: "Please understand, Emperor Whale, this time it was truly at the behest of many deep-sea fellows, beyond my control, offenses were inevitable."

The Tiger Whale Emperor glanced at him, giving a faint smile without any further comment.

The four of them exchanged a few polite words, and the atmosphere seemed rather harmonious.

Before long, the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor led his tribe, transforming into streams of bloody water, disappearing into the depths of the sea.

Once they had departed, the Tiger Whale Emperor turned to Shen Xuan, sighing: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, forgive me for the display. Such sea races often come together for profit and disperse for lack of it, lacking any sense of loyalty."

Shen Xuan, now restored to human form, chuckled lightly upon hearing this: "The bustling world is all for profit. This is common, and it is not as though the Human Race lacks such people."

"I do not fear him."

The Tiger Whale Emperor shook his head, his gaze casting into the distant darkness: "It is not them I fear. It is after driving back one Blood-tooth Shark Emperor, that other deep-sea tribes might surge forward. This time, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice managed to turn foes into friends and draw them as reinforcements, indeed alleviating my pressure. However, it has cost you much."

"It’s no matter."

Shen Xuan waved his hand, his expression calm.

Connecting to the deep sea Tier Four Spirit Vein is related to the foundation of the Dao path, with benefits so immense they are hard to estimate.

Paying an additional price for a century of stability is not actually a loss.

Currently, he has yet to form a Nascent Soul, and needs to accumulate, not provoking too many powerful enemies and drawing the deep-sea tribes to besiege him.

Once he condenses the Nascent Soul,

what the Blood-tooth Shark Emperor swallowed today, he will have to return with interest, in double.
