Dog Shengzi selected two large fish from the fishing net and respectfully handed them to Great-Grandfather. Great-Grandfather had eyes that seemed shrouded in mist, obscuring his true thoughts. He reached out to take the fish, examining them carefully.
Guan Yue said nothing more and happily returned home with Dog Shengzi.
The people around Great-Grandfather pointed at Guan Yue: "How can this kid be like this?"
Great-Grandfather coldly replied, "What’s the rush?"
Guan Yue and Dog Shengzi pulled the fishing net back home, where sister Dog Tooth widened her eyes at Guan Yue: "Did you catch these? Have you given your share to Great-Grandfather?"
Dog Shengzi immediately said, "I already gave it, I handed it over myself." Guan Yue understood Dog Tooth's concerns but chose not to speak. This Great-Grandfather was nothing to fear.
Hearing her brother's words, Dog Tooth finally smiled and began to prepare the fish. Looking at these precious fish, her heart blossomed with joy; once these fish were sold for money, she could use it to treat their mother.
On the third day, Guan Yue and Puppy Sheng were set to go out to sea again for fishing. Dog Tooth asked Dog Shengzi to call the local Fishmonger from the west side to sell yesterday's fish and exchange them for money.
Guan Yue took note of this. Thus, throughout the day, aside from practicing underwater, he caught a large number of fish, including two massive ones weighing at least over a thousand pounds each, which made Puppy Shengzi jump with joy. Their father's fishing fleet rarely caught such enormous fish.
Now, Puppy Shengzi could hardly pull the fishing net. Guan Yue had no choice but to drag the net back to the village himself, attracting much curiosity from the villagers. He placed the net in the center of the village and asked Dog Shengzi to call the vendors.
Of course, Great-Grandfather noticed the fish caught by Guan Yue, and he was astonished. This young master had actually caught a Fire Scale Fish! Who exactly was this young master?
The Fire Scale Fish, which even ordinary Disciples dared not touch, was large, fast-moving, fierce, and could breathe fire. It was truly difficult for opponents to defend against; no one in Haiga Village had ever caught such a fish before! This kind of fish could fetch a high price!
Now, Great-Grandfather dared not point fingers at Guan Yue. Decades of experience had taught him to read faces; he increasingly confirmed that this young master was not someone easily provoked.
The Fishmonger, hurriedly following Dog Shengzi, arrived at the center of the village where Guan Yue stood. Upon seeing the Fire Scale Fish, his eyes lit up with excitement as he exclaimed loudly, "A live Fire Scale Fish! Is it really a live one? Is this being sold to me? Are you really preparing to sell it to me?"
His gaze remained fixed on Great-Grandfather, completely ignoring Guan Yue. With a wry smile, Great-Grandfather said, "Yes, but it's not me selling it to you; it's this young master here."
Only then did the Fishmonger turn around and see that it was a young gentleman. Having seen many people in his time, he quickly recognized that Guan Yue possessed an extraordinary demeanor. He immediately bowed and said to Guan Yue: "Young master, please sell me this Fire Scale Fish. I will pay you ten taels of Golden Red Sand. What do you say? This is equivalent to my annual earnings!"
The little dog happily said, "Big brother, let's sell it to him for ten taels of Golden Red Sand. That will be enough for my mother's medical treatment."
Guan Yue asked again, "What about the other fish?"
The Fishmonger frowned and said, "I don't have enough money. I'll call someone else to buy the other fish."
After Guan Yue agreed, the fishmonger immediately called Guan Yue to help pull back the Fire Scale Fish and then handed him ten taels of Golden Red Sand, rushing off to sell live fish. Another fishmonger took the rest of Guan Yue's fish, but they only sold for three taels of Silver Sand altogether.
During dinner that night, Guan Yue asked Dog Tooth which fish was the most valuable.
The little dog blurted out, "I know! It's the Electric Eel. My father said that one tael of Electric Eel meat can be exchanged for one tael of Golden Red Sand. And it hasn't been sold yet."
However, neither Puppy Sheng nor Dog Tooth knew what an Electric Eel looked like because they had never seen one.
In these days, Guan Yue went to the seabed to practice every day. Gradually, he began to adapt to the limitations of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain and could freely use his techniques. He also became familiar with the use of Celestial Soldiers, Origin Tools, and Sky Peak Tower.
So he decided to go to the City, with the best excuse being to take Puppy Shengzi's mother for medical treatment.
Hearing that they were going to the City for her mother's treatment, Puppy Shengzi was overjoyed, while little Dog Tooth was filled with worry; she feared that others would snatch her Golden Red Sand. She wanted to wait until her father returned before going.
After much persuasion from Guan Yue, she finally agreed to go for her mother's treatment. She realized that Guan Yue was much stronger than her father and that he had no ill intentions toward her family.
Guan Yue made a simple stretcher, and he and Dog Tooth carried her mother into the city.
After two days on a small boat, they arrived at the continent.
As soon as they set foot on land and looked around, Guan Yue noticed a significant difference between the Dragon Python Celestial Domain and the continent.
Although this was a dock, it was filled with Disciples, most of whom were at the Minor Saint Realm, making up about ten to twenty percent of the total population. This left Guan Yue in awe.
In Yongning Continent, even the imposing Little Ancestor Saint could only play a minor role in Dragon Python Heaven Domain.
The huge disparity had a significant psychological impact on Guan Yue. He thought he was a genius, but who knew that in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, geniuses were everywhere? Even thirteen or fourteen-year-old children were at the Minor Saint Realm.
Guan Yue used the Concealment Technique to hide his Supreme God of the Great Dao cultivation level from others, but at this moment, he felt no pride in his Supreme God of the Great Dao status.
Ouyang Shaohua also landed in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. She looked around and realized she had fallen into a city. At that moment, she was disguised by Ruyi Girl as a robust woman in her thirties, carrying a gleaming long sword on her back.
As Ruyi Girl's disciple, Ruyi Girl naturally considered practical living issues for her. She carried Golden Red Sand with her. Additionally, she still wore the heart-shaped pendant chain that Guan Yue had given her.
Due to her unique physical constitution, she felt quite comfortable entering the Dragon Python Celestial Domain and adapted to its environment very naturally.
According to the training guidelines from the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, the first priority was survival, followed by moving towards the Waydao Empire to seek out Dao Zhen Sect.
At that moment, Ouyang Shaohua truly felt a sense of being alone in the world. However, she believed that she would eventually reunite with Guan Yue, and her other sisters would gather together as well. They were all just surviving temporarily in different places.
The day they would meet again would eventually come.
Thus, Ouyang Shaohua began to inquire about her surroundings. After some investigation, she discovered that this was a city in the Axe Mountain Empire called Holl City. Ouyang Shaohua was taken aback: Axe Mountain Empire and Holl City were exactly the locations mentioned by her family's ancestor! He had told her that if possible, she should first come here and look for someone named Ouyang Yue, who was a disciple from their Ouyang Family.
Could it be that her luck was so good? She had directly landed in this place?
Ouyang Shaohua suppressed her excitement and began her search.
Ouyang Shaohua was a thoughtful girl. She first confirmed that this was indeed Holl City in the Axe Mountain Empire. Further inquiries revealed that there was an Ouyang Family here!
This made her extremely excited. Could this Ouyang Family be related to Senior Ouyang Yue? Had he already settled down and flourished here? After thousands of years, he should have his own family by now, right?
Ouyang Shaohua continued to investigate and found out that this Ouyang Family was located two hundred miles away from her current position in a nearby town.
Two hundred miles? Ouyang Shaohua felt somewhat relieved; it wasn't too far. But when she attempted to fly, she realized she couldn't take off at all!
She was a Great Deity! How could she not even fly in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain? Ouyang Shaohua was filled with anger but had no choice but to walk there on foot.
Due to Ouyang Shaohua's makeup, she appeared to be a woman in her thirties and had an average appearance, which did not draw much attention from others along the way. Ouyang Shaohua focused on her journey every day, avoiding any trouble.
The two hundred miles should take about four days to cover. Ouyang Shaohua practiced strict frugality, not daring to waste anything. Ruyi Girl only gave her a small amount of Golden Red Sand, which she was hesitant to use. Instead, she sought out a secluded place to spend the night whenever possible, saving the Golden Red Sand for emergencies.
On the third day, she entered a Mixed Residential Area. This was the most chaotic part of Holl City and also the area where the authorities felt most helpless. Originally in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, everything was in disarray, but cities were considered safe zones. The larger the city, the safer it was.
Holl City in the Axe Mountain Empire was the only exception.
In this Mixed Residential Area of Holl City, chaos reigned with violence rampant and safety nonexistent. The area was densely populated, filled with people from all directions who had long settled here. Most made a living through small businesses, collecting protection fees, engaging in black market transactions that were explicitly forbidden by the authorities, underground dealings, and even murder.
Here, there was even a trade in living beings! This included the buying and selling of women, young girls, disciples, and strong men—everything imaginable could be found.
This land could even control the economic lifelines of the Axe Mountain Empire and several surrounding empires!
As this gathering place for the impoverished was a necessary route for trade among several major empires, it became a crossroads for multiple empires. When Ouyang Shaohua inadvertently overheard an explanation about this Mixed Residential Area while at an inn, she felt quite helpless.
However, the young Ouyang Shaohua was not afraid. She had faced danger before; what was there to fear? After all, she was a disciple at the Peak of the Great Path!
Ouyang Shaohua finally entered the Mixed Residential Area.
When she witnessed the chaotic situation inside with her own eyes, her heart sank with nausea.
As soon as she entered the Mixed Residential Area, she saw a vast square where hundreds of young men and women were bound. These hundreds were arranged on either side of the main road according to gender and stood in order of age from oldest to youngest.
