"Do we have no grudges or enmities? Heh, my friend, you forcibly transformed her into a Sea Tribe bloodline. We have no grievances at all?" Wei Chen sneered.
Philippe King, upon hearing this, coldly replied, "Then I will provoke her Sea Tribe bloodline and turn her into a killing machine. I want to see if your Black Magic Clan can come up with a solution!"
With that, Philippe King intended to activate the seal within Lynn Luyao's Sea of Consciousness, aiming to turn her into a frenzied murderer.
However, just as that thought crossed his mind, an overwhelming Mental Strength surged through his Sea of Consciousness, shattering it into fragments.
Wei Chen struck out in anger, and Philippe King was instantly dead beyond recovery.
"Even before dying, you still wanted to bite back. Truly a dog!"
Wei Chen said lightly, his cold gaze sweeping over the remaining high-ranking members of Philippe King's subordinates.
Seeing Philippe King die with blood pouring from his seven orifices, those individuals trembled in fear, unable to meet Wei Chen's eyes as they lowered their heads.
No matter how noble their status, at this moment, they had to bow deeply before Wei Chen.
"What should be done with these people?" Wei Chen asked Sea Emperor Nanfeng calmly.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng narrowed his eyes without any hesitation and said, "Kill them all."
In the next instant, all of Philippe King's elite subordinates met their demise.
Wei Chen's ruthlessness shocked everyone. The people on Phil Island fell silent in fear.
A killer who doesn't blink and possesses immense Mental Strength—such a formidable person is not to be provoked!
Wei Chen fully agreed with the choice of Sea Emperor Nanfeng. The wildfires may burn endlessly, but spring will always come again; it was better to eliminate all potential threats now to avoid future troubles. There was no need to wipe out the ordinary high-ranking officials of Phil Island. They could not defy Sea Emperor Nanfeng's orders, and with Philippe King and a dozen true high-ranking officials already dead, who else could oppose Sea Emperor Nanfeng?
Wei Chen acted as both the vanguard and the executioner. The people on Phil Island were not truly afraid of Sea Emperor Nanfeng; they feared Wei Chen.
After this battle, Wei Chen's reputation would be firmly established on Phil Island. By the time the news reached the Black Magic Clan, his name would spread throughout the Demon Realm, including among the other Three Great Sea Clans.
Indeed, during this trip to the Endless Sea, Wei Chen had been in the spotlight, whether in the South China Sea or on Phil Island; he had become a taboo figure.
No one dared to defy him anymore.
Even those high-ranking officials from South Sea Island who accompanied Sea Emperor Nanfeng expressed their admiration for Wei Chen's methods.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng had wanted to kill Philippe King for a long time, but each time Philippe King managed to escape unscathed. After Sea Emperor Nanfeng left, he would reappear and crush everything that Sea Emperor Nanfeng had set up. This time, Philippe King was completely dead, eliminating a discordant factor in the South Sea Region.
From now on, the South Sea Region would answer only to Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
With external threats dealt with and internal stability achieved, Sea Emperor Nanfeng could begin his next steps.
Wei Chen returned to the Warship while Sea Emperor Nanfeng took his forces to Phil Island for consolidation. With no resistance left on Phil Island, Sea Emperor Nanfeng smoothly took control and stationed his troops there.
Although complete control would take some time, no one would dare to cause trouble after Sea Emperor Nanfeng left. The Philippine Sea was initially under his control.
It would take some time for news from Phil Island to reach the Black Magic Clan, but events occurring on South Sea Island had already been reported back to Black Magic Palace.
The Dark Mage and several high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan gathered together, quietly listening to their subordinate's report.
After having that subordinate repeat the information three times to confirm its authenticity, a profound silence fell over Black Magic Palace.
The high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan exchanged bewildered glances, each struggling to comprehend the situation.
The Sea Emperor Nanfeng, after all, was the leader of the South Sea Tribe. How could he have been defeated by Wei Chen? Even more astonishing was that the Sea Emperor had invited Wei Chen to deal with Philippe King?
What on earth did this mean?
"Is it really true? The Young Mistress is being too exaggerated, isn't she?"
"It's hard to say. We've seen the Young Mistress's abilities before; it's not impossible for her to create another miracle!"
"Our spies stationed on South Sea Island reported back personally, having witnessed the Young Mistress defeat Sea Emperor Nanfeng with her formidable Mental Strength. It must be true."
"Sigh, the Young Mistress is truly incredible. She ventured alone into the Endless Sea and managed to defeat him at Sea Emperor Nanfeng's Base of Operations. It's simply... beyond words..."
"The prowess of the Young Mistress is beyond our imagination. I believe that when she goes to the Philippine Sea, she will easily take down Philippe King as well."
"But I wonder what the Young Mistress is thinking. Philippe King's existence is a constraint for Sea Emperor Nanfeng. If Wei Chen really helps him eliminate Philippe King, wouldn't that be too careless?"
"The balance of power would shift against us."
"The Young Mistress is so astute; she wouldn't act without reason. She must have her own calculations and likely stands to gain a lot from this."
"Yes, I think so too. Based on the Young Mistress's consistent performance, her clever strategies surpass ours."
"Regardless, we hope that the Young Mistress returns successfully. Whether or not she can cultivate to the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm is secondary; what's most important is that she can come back safely."
"With the Young Mistress's powerful Mental Strength capable of making Sea Emperor Nanfeng surrender, what does the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm mean to her?"
The high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan were in heated discussion, all praising Wei Chen.
They could all imagine how Wei Chen had bravely faced danger alone, displaying his impressive prowess as he defeated their Sea Emperor in front of numerous experts from South Sea Island. It was a display of sheer might!
The Dark Mage felt a sense of relief; only now did he truly understand how formidable Wei Chen's strength was. Defeating Sea Emperor Nanfeng in the Endless Sea had brought great honor to the entire Black Magic Clan.
As for Wei Chen's method of causing trouble in the Endless Sea with his Soul Beast, the Dark Mage had come to realize that Wei Chen was completely different from Hoo-Bah-Dow. In Wei Chen's plans, it seemed that such a thing didn’t even exist.
Regardless, the Dark Mage was extremely excited. If Wei Chen could defeat the Dark Mage, then he could truly defeat himself, right?
The last time Wei Chen had displayed some Mental Strength and suppressed the Dark Mage, the Dark Mage had been somewhat dismissive. He thought that as long as he resisted strongly enough, Wei Chen's Mental Strength wouldn’t mean much.
But the problem was, if Wei Chen could defeat Sea Emperor Nanfeng, then he could also defeat himself...
The Dark Mage felt a mix of surprise, regret, and disappointment. But more than anything, he felt joy; after all, it was a case of the student surpassing the teacher. What elder wouldn’t be pleased?
“Everyone,” he said, “the news about Wei Chen is absolutely true. For us, this is good news. I believe that he has reached some agreement with Sea Emperor Nanfeng. The Sea Tribe in the South Sea Region will not attack our mainland, and we can redirect our Army stationed along the coast to deal with the Dragon Clan. That young man has freed up millions of our troops, which is truly something to celebrate.”
“Let us raise our glasses together and celebrate this remarkable victory! Sea Emperor Nanfeng was an opponent whose strength was nearly equal to mine. Wei Chen’s ability to defeat him is a victory for our entire Black Magic Clan!”
In an instant, the Black Magic Palace erupted in cheers, filled with confidence as they prepared for battle against the Dragon Clan.
...
Later on, the same group gathered again at Black Magic Clan’s high platform. Muen stood beside the Dark Mage, listening to reports from their scouts.
The Black Magic Clan had bribed some members of the Sea Tribe and placed them throughout various locations within it. Likewise, the Sea Tribe had also infiltrated some individuals within the Black Magic Clan residing in Black Magic City. This way, they could stay informed about significant events.
“Demon Emperor, esteemed lords, the scouts from the Philippine Sea have returned with news. Wei Chen, Young Master, has gone on a rampage in the Philippine Sea, slaughtering Philippe King and over a dozen subordinates of Thirty-Two Levels or higher. Sea Emperor Nanfeng's attitude towards Wei Chen, Young Master, is one of utmost respect, which is also an important piece of intelligence from the scouts. Furthermore, it is reported that Sea Emperor Nanfeng and Young Mistress have reached some agreements, which is why Young Mistress is willing to assist Sea Emperor Nanfeng in eliminating Philippe King.”
“Lastly, the scouts have more news; perhaps Sea Emperor Nanfeng will send troops against both East Sand Sea and Xisha Sea Area, but they cannot guarantee the authenticity of this information.”
The Dark Mage had the subordinate who came to report repeat this three times.
After the third repetition, the man exited the hall, leaving behind the stunned high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan.
From top to bottom, everyone was in shock.
They never expected that Wei Chen and Sea Emperor Nanfeng would act so quickly; that the Philippine Sea could be so easily controlled by Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
Wei Chen, Young Master, had effortlessly killed the cunning and difficult Philippe King?
The name of Philippe King was well-known among the high-ranking members of Black Magic Palace. That person was notoriously sly; although his combat power was slightly inferior to that of Sea Emperor Nanfeng, his ability to escape was unparalleled. Many times Sea Emperor Nanfeng had attempted to encircle Philippe King but returned empty-handed, often suffering significant losses instead.
Now, however, it seemed that Wei Chen had single-handedly changed the situation in the South Sea Region and even allowed Sea Emperor Nanfeng to free up resources to deal with the East Sand Sea Tribe and West Sand Sea Tribe?
“Is Young Mistress really that impressive? After all, Philippe King is known for his cunning!”
“There’s no need to elaborate on Young Mistress’s prowess; now we just need to see what kind of agreement she has reached with Sea Emperor Nanfeng. It must be extremely beneficial for our Black Magic Clan.”
“Perhaps it’s a non-aggression pact? Otherwise, how could Sea Emperor Nanfeng dare to recklessly move against the West Sand Sea Tribe and East Sand Sea Tribe?”
“If they engage in battle, it will surely deplete their resources, leaving our Black Magic Clan free from worry for ages.”
“Indeed, ordinary plundering of food is insignificant; as long as they do not attack our territory, we can confidently deal with the Dragon Clan.”
"In our time of greatest need for manpower, Young Mistress has been a tremendous help. His actions must have taken into account the current situation of our Black Magic Clan."
"Young Mistress is sharp and capable, with formidable strength. Our Black Magic Clan can rest easy for a long time."
"That's right. Young Mistress's abilities have already been proven. As for whether he can break through to the realm of Seven Emotions and Six Desires in the short term, it doesn't matter."
"Of course, it would be great if he could ascend; it would be like icing on the cake. But if he can't, it's no big deal. Young Mistress's Mental Strength is strong enough to crush anyone."
With such an impressive Young Mistress, how could the people of the Black Magic Clan not feel delighted?
Their spirits were high.
The Dark Mage was even more surprised. He had been worried about Wei Chen's safety, but now it seemed that concern was completely unnecessary.
...
On Phil Island, Sea Emperor Nanfeng had settled everything. Wei Chen's Warship set sail once again, heading deeper into the Endless Sea.
The destination: Sea God Palace!
