And this conflict even affected Li Zhirui, who was staying inside his room!
That day, he was cultivating in the guest room when suddenly, there was an urgent, forceful knocking on the door. Li Zhirui thought the Sea Clan acted swiftly and had resolved the Sea Eye issue, needing him for the final touch, so he opened the door without much thought.
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a fist. If he hadn’t reacted quickly and dodged in ti, he might have been beaten black and blue.
If that had happened, it would have been extrely embarrassing.
So Li Zhirui’s face imdiately turned very unpleasant, his gaze icy as he looked at the Water Devil outside the door and said: "Is this the Sea Clan’s way of treating guests?"
"Ha ha! What kind of guest are you, just a fraud!"
That Water Devil said disdainfully: "If you know what’s good for you, leave the Sea Clan quickly and return to your filthy land!"
Li Zhirui was just about to speak when he suddenly noticed a cold, malicious gaze fixed on him. Looking over, he saw it was the Earth Immortal Demon Cultivator with whom he had previously had a conflict.
"Fool! You don’t even know when you’re being used."
Seeing this, what else was unclear?
Li Zhirui said directly to the Demon Cultivator, ignoring the Water Devil, "Aren’t you afraid that the Turtle Minister will punish you for scheming against this Water Devil?"
"Oh? What did I do? I just told this young friend that there’s a pretentious, deceitful person here tricking the Turtle Minister—isn’t that the truth?"
The Demon Cultivator chuckled indifferently: "I didn’t say anything more; it was all this young friend’s actions."
If his cultivation level were sufficient, Li Zhirui would have acted imdiately to deal with this disgusting Demon Cultivator, but he could only swallow his anger for now.
In the wild, tacit rules hold no deterrent force!
Therefore, he quickly withdrew his gaze, turned back to the guest room, murmuring: "I wonder when the Turtle Minister will finish."
Li Zhirui didn’t want to waste this valuable favor on such a trivial matter; he just wanted to return to Mount Wanxian soon.
Though the spiritual energy here is purer and denser, more suitable for cultivation, it is ultimately the Sea Clan’s territory, making it impossible to cultivate peacefully in seclusion, especially after such incidents—he really didn’t want to linger.
But exploring the depths of the Sea Eye and deducing how to repair the fracture is not sothing that can be accomplished overnight.
Until these tasks are completed, there’s nothing that requires his involvent. To avoid trouble, Li Zhirui completely shut his door, ignoring the escalating outside conflicts.
...
anwhile.
The Turtle Minister and other high-ranking Sea Clan mbers were exhaustingly focused on resolving the Sea Eye fracture, day and night, with no ti for other matters.
Without anyone to stop them, the Sea Clan and the creatures drawn by the bounty erupted in a true bloodshed war!
Several Individual Immortal creatures were severely injured, even perished, causing extre chaos near the Sea Eye.
"This bounty was issued by the Sea Clan themselves; we ca to help, yet you attack us indiscriminately, kill us—is this a trap to ensnare us in a conspiracy?" a furious Earth Immortal Practitioner questioned.
"Help? Hmph! You’ve been here for days, have you made any progress? On the contrary, you indulge in eating, drinking, playing, consuming, wasting a large amount of Spiritual Objects."
A discontent Water Devil said: "We sincerely invited people for assistance, not to support a bunch of useless ones!"
The Earth Immortal’s expression beca rigid, unable to refute since everything the other side said was true.
"If you’re sensible, leave the sea area quickly and return to your place."
"You!"
"Fine! I’ll see what the Turtle Minister will do when he sees us driven away by you."
Saying this, the Earth Immortal took the lead and flew away from the sea.
A large portion of creatures followed suit, given they valued their dignity and were embarrassed to stay after such ridicule from the Sea Clan.
However, a small group of creatures stayed shalessly, including many Demon Cultivators, who never cared about reputation.
Being verbally taunted wasn’t much compared to the massive daily consumption of Spiritual Objects.
...
Elsewhere, the Heavenly Immortal of the Sea Clan, after diving for several days, finally reached the bottom of the Sea Eye.
The Sea Eye is different from those water outlets and spring eyes, the deeper you go, the wider it becos, and the bottom spans several thousand miles.
Thus, it took them so ti to locate the fracture.
The fracture was tiny, rely over a ter long and less than two feet wide, yet it continuously undermined the Sea Eye vital to the Sea Clan and the entire Primal Spirit Realm, causing more depletion and exhaustion.
The Heavenly Immortal Water Demons did not leave after finding the fracture but ticulously searched around to see if there were any traces of human intervention.
Before powerful, precise Divine Sense, nothing can hide.
Ultimately, they discovered a small fragnted piece of a Magic Artifact!
The mont they saw the fragnt, the Heavenly Immortals’ expressions turned grave and grim.
This was not an accident but human-caused!
Here was inappropriate for discussion, so with fury in their hearts, they ascended rapidly back to the sea.
It took more than ten days to dive, but less than half the ti to rush out.
One reason was the decreasing upward pressure, naturally quickening the speed; another was the anger in their hearts, driving them faster and faster.
