"Pure ocean essence?"

Mu Jinyu heard the mermaid's answer and couldn't help but look at Yu Shenfeng beside him.

But he couldn't see any ocean essence on him at all?

Then, Mu Jinyu narrowed his eyes, as if he thought of something.

He turned to the mermaid and began to practice the "Black Emperor Water Emperor Technique," but did not use the True Black Water Essence within his body to suppress or corrode the opponent, asking, "Is the ocean essence you mentioned this True Yuan?"

The mermaid's expression was somewhat fearful, instinctively sensing the essence emanating from Mu Jinyu was similar to Yu Shenfeng's, but extremely dangerous. She might die if she's not careful.

Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, she hurriedly replied, "Yes, but... his is more pure and safe..."

Mu Jinyu heard her, his face showing an expression of having figured it out.

He had wondered what ocean essence was on Yu Shenfeng?

And if there was something that could interest these Rugens, it was probably only the Water Origin refined by Yu Shenfeng through the "Black Emperor Water Emperor Technique."

This Origin Source can transform into three different nature changes: water, mist, ice.

Usually, Yu Shenfeng uses the Ice Attribute to fight enemies, which has a stronger killing power.

But when Yu Shenfeng falls unconscious, the True Yuan within him automatically converts to the Water Origin, making it easy to be stolen.

If Mu Jinyu's Source of Life has an instinctive longing for flowers, trees, and can easily mature them, allowing them to continuously increase in medicinal age and strength, then the Water Origin refined through the "Black Emperor Water Emperor Technique" is also very attractive to the demon beasts living in the sea, helping them quickly enhance their power.

By now, Mu Jinyu almost figured out the whole process of the incident.

Yu Shenfeng was attacked by that blurred shadow while tracking the Curse World Master, fell unconscious, and was then dumped on this desolate island. It's unclear whether the mysterious person knew this group of Rugens existed on the island. If they knew, perhaps it was deliberate to make Yu Shenfeng their sacrificial offering.

If not, then Yu Shenfeng was too unlucky. That mysterious person probably did not want to offend the Dragon King Hall either, just wanted to safely place him on this island so that he would lose track after waking up, unable to continue chasing the Curse World Master. However, coincidentally, this island harbored this group of Rugens who then discovered the purest Water Origin within Yu Shenfeng...

Thus, Yu Shenfeng's tragedy happened!

And the continuous theft of Yu Shenfeng's Water Origin and even Essence Blood greatly advanced this group of Rugens, revealing several Demon Kings of the Fanxu Realm...

No, something is wrong here...

Mu Jinyu shook his head, realizing Yu Shenfeng's cultivation was only at the Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm, how could a portion of his Water Origin and Essence Blood be stolen to cultivate numerous Rugens at the Fanxu Realm and Divinity Transformation Realm?

At this moment, Mu Jinyu recalled the last few sentences of the mermaid's response to his question, a sacrificial offering to the Sea God? Letting them survive in this calamity?

"Who is the Sea God you're talking about?"

Mu Jinyu frowned slightly and asked the mermaid.

The mermaid heard Mu Jinyu's words, sensing no respect or fear for the Sea God in his tone. Instead, she appeared slightly angry.

"Hmph!"

The mermaid turned her head and snorted, enduring Mu Jinyu's death threat, unwilling to speak further.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows tighter, saying, "You stubborn little thing, since that's the case, I won't be polite to you."

With that said.

Mu Jinyu immediately performed the Soul Searching Technique on the mermaid.

The mermaid felt her Sea of Consciousness being attacked, and she was extremely terrified, wanting to answer honestly, but the ensuing events were completely beyond her control.

Mu Jinyu quickly completed the soul search on the mermaid, seeing her memories from the past few days.

Initially, her subordinates accidentally discovered Yu Shenfeng on the island, then noticed the Water Origin within him and joyfully began extracting the Water Origin from Yu Shenfeng...

Then, when the Ice Age came, they were initially very frightened, then realized something and began performing some rituals, eventually extracting Essence Blood from Yu Shenfeng and offering it to the Sea God who protected them.

Thereby, a group of Rugens who originally didn't have strong powers were granted the cultivation of Divinity Transformation Realm by the Sea God, allowing them to survive this disaster.

What caught Mu Jinyu's attention the most was the mermaid's memory showing Yu Shenfeng was already nailed to a rock face, unconscious, when the Rugens found him...

Does that mean the mysterious person did intentionally scheme against Yu Shenfeng?

Mu Jinyu didn't think much about it afterwards, since there was no trace of the mysterious person at the moment, thinking too much was pointless.

He began to recall from the mermaid's memory the palace hidden under their Emerald Lake, along with the Sea God sculpture within it.

They performed the Sea God rituals here with Yu Shenfeng's Essence Blood and were granted considerable cultivation advancement.

"Interesting, I want to see what kind of deity this Sea God is, to have such abilities."

Mu Jinyu had roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter and found the mermaid, gripped by her neck, no longer of any use to him, turned to Yu Shenfeng and asked, "Senior Yu, do you want to personally take revenge?"

"Yes."

Yu Shenfeng responded coldly.

He was not a good person, nor any easy prey, for he was the King of Assassins!

This time, trapped on the island and tormented by this group of Sea Demons, extracted of True Yuan and had his heart pierced for Essence Blood, if Mu Jinyu hadn't arrived timely, he feared he couldn't hold out much longer before dying.

Therefore, after the event turned around, how could he be benevolent enough to spare these enemies?

"Good."

Mu Jinyu nodded and tossed the mermaid to Yu Shenfeng.

This mermaid, while interesting, and indeed resembling a mermaid except for her human head, appeared ravishingly beautiful and exceptionally elegant, but given such an irreconcilable grudge against Yu Shenfeng, Mu Jinyu couldn't feel any pity for her, nor allow Yu Shenfeng to spare her.

"Crack!"

As the mermaid was thrown over, Yu Shenfeng crushed her throat...

Next, Yu Shenfeng quickly dealt with the mermaid and began a massacre of the Rugens below.

Mu Jinyu was uninterested in how Yu Shenfeng took revenge, his curiosity gravitated toward the Sea God Sacrificial Platform, and he plunged into the Emerald Lake below.

"Bang!"

Mu Jinyu plunged into the water, even without using the Water Repelling Bead, the surrounding lake water did not wet his clothes.

He swiftly navigated underwater according to the mermaid's memory, soon finding the Sea God Palace submerged at the lake's bottom.

The exterior of the palace looked grand but somewhat dilapidated, with quite a bit of moss and seaweed.

Mu Jinyu glanced around a few times before entering the Sea God Palace, casually standing in front of the square, looking up at a sacrificial platform at the top of the stairs, and the statue erected on the altar.

And this statue was indeed a fish's tail, human body, and head, a true mermaid...

"Is this the Sea God? Or perhaps, the ancestor of the Rugens?" Mu Jinyu whispered.

At this time, Mu Jinyu also noticed near the altar, there were some formations present, similar to the ones he discovered when entering the cave.
