Several days later, outside the Demon Abyss Sea, within the Hengmo Sect, in a spacious and exquisite wooden house.

Chen Xuan was sitting on a wooden chair, a golden wine glass in his right hand, carefully savoring the fragrant wine within.

Tang Xuan'er was sitting directly on his lap, her whole body nestled in Chen Xuan's arms, her demeanor intimate, her gaze tenderly fixed on the face of her beloved.

"Husband! Drink less wine!" Tang Xuan'er grabbed Chen Xuan's wine glass, preventing him from drinking more.

"Alright, alright! I'll listen to my wife!" Chen Xuan smiled indulgently, gently placing the wine glass back on the table.

"Creak, creak!"

Suddenly, the wooden door of the room was pushed open, and an old man with white hair, holding a secret report, walked in with a slightly anxious expression.

"Hiss!"

The old man saw the intimate scene in the room and was immediately embarrassed, wanting to close the door and leave the room temporarily.

Tang Xuan'er, nestled in her husband's arms, blushed and felt extremely shy.

Chen Xuan frowned, his face slightly displeased, and said loudly.

"Hey! Come back!"

The old man heard this and returned to the room, his face flushed.

"Elder Chen! Please knock before entering next time! Didn't you see my wife is busy? What's the matter? Speak quickly!" Chen Xuan said sternly.

Chen Xuan's face was displeased, but he also knew the importance of the matter. The elder had personally come to him, which meant the matter was not simple!

"Yes, Young Master! I will pay attention next time! It's just that the matter is serious, and I forgot to knock in my urgency!" the old man explained.

Then, the old man strode forward, handed the secret report in his hand to Chen Xuan, and slowly said.

"Young Master! Recently, a very strange thing has happened! The Merman race, which disappeared inexplicably ten thousand years ago, has suddenly appeared out of nowhere! They have established a considerable force in the outer Demon Abyss Sea!"

Chen Xuan frowned, looked at the secret report in his hand, and impatiently said.

"Tch! The secret report says that the current patriarch of the Merman race is only at the early stage of the Core Formation realm. What are you guys doing? Do you even need to report such a weak force to me?"

"Young Master, please calm down! The rise of the Merman race is because they found a retainer from somewhere! Named Feng Qi, with a high-stage Core Formation cultivation! He helped the Merman race uproot all the surrounding forces, which is why it attracted the attention of this subordinate!"

The old man cupped his hands.

"High-stage Core Formation? That's a bit interesting, but it's still not enough to report to me, is it?"

Chen Xuan's expression softened slightly, but his eyes were still full of disdain!

"Young Master, you don't know! That Feng Qi, although at the high-stage Core Formation realm, possesses several treasures and extremely high-grade cultivation techniques! His combat power is comparable to the peak of the Core Formation realm! He uprooted the six major sects around the Merman race's territory. It is said that except for the Sect Master of the Heaven Stealing Sect who escaped by chance, everyone else was slaughtered by him!"

The old man's expression was solemn as he vividly described the events.

"Is that so? That's rare! It's been so many years, and no one has dared to jump around under the nose of my Hengmo Sect! Perhaps I, Chen Xuan, haven't been angry for too long, and some people have become bold!"

A fierce light flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Young Master, please don't be angry! The Merman race's territory is far away from our sect, and your status is noble, so it's inconvenient for you to travel far! This old man is willing to take the initiative to meet that Feng Qi! And completely obliterate the Merman race!"

The old man knelt heavily on the ground, his face full of fighting spirit.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, patted the old man's shoulder heavily, and then instructed.

"Elder Chen Ming, we share the same surname, which is a kind of fate! This young master is very optimistic about you! With your peak Core Formation cultivation, take another peak Core Formation elder with you to meet the Merman race! But don't disappoint me!"

"Yes! Young Master, this old man will definitely not let you down!" Chen Ming bowed again, cupped his hands, his eyes fiery, and then decisively left the room, directly preparing to go to the Merman race's territory.

The Demon Abyss Sea is vast and expansive, and the outer sea alone is tens of thousands of miles long.

And the territories of the Hengmo Sect and the Merman race are far apart, even if Chen Ming goes at full speed, it will take two full days!

At this moment, in the Merman race's territory.

Ning Lu stood in front of Qin Rui and Qin Xiyue, his face solemn, as if he was giving his last words, earnestly instructing.

"Elder Qin Rui, Miss Xiyue, I am going to a forbidden place called the Sea of Slaughter. I don't know how long it will take, so I have come back specifically to bid you farewell!"

"Young Friend Feng! Have you thought about it clearly? Our Merman race has survived for tens of thousands of years, and the records clearly state the dangers of the Sea of Slaughter!"

Qin Rui's expression was solemn, and he earnestly advised.

"The Sea of Slaughter existed as far back as ten thousand years ago! Our Merman race also had ancestors who went to that forbidden place! But this forbidden place is so dangerous! Once you enter, no one has ever come out!"

"Yes! Young Master Feng, you are fine now, and your cultivation is already very high! Why do you still have to risk your life?"

Qin Xiyue's eyes were filled with tears, her face full of worry.

Ning Lu shook his head slowly and sighed heavily.

"I clearly know that the Sea of Slaughter is extremely dangerous! Entering it is a narrow escape from death, but even so, I still have to go in! I have my own unavoidable reasons, so you don't have to persuade me!"

Hearing this, Qin Rui and his daughter had thousands of words on their lips, but in the end, they couldn't say them, just silently respecting Ning Lu's choice.

Ning Lu turned around slowly, glanced at the endless Demon Abyss Sea, and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

"High-stage Core Formation cultivation, coupled with a body of magic weapons and cultivation techniques! For ordinary people, there is really no need to force themselves into such a desperate situation, but if I don't raise my cultivation to the Nascent Soul realm in the shortest possible time, how can I survive?

The Cangyuan Kingdom is hunting me down throughout the city! Although I am now using the pseudonym Feng Qi, with the Merman race as a cover! But the Gu family and the Cangyuan Kingdom's royal family have many tricks, and my identity being exposed is only a matter of time!

In the outer Demon Abyss Sea, the Hengmo Sect and the Bloodwing Gate are the two dominant forces! Both of them have Nascent Soul demons sitting in charge. Now that I have caused such a big disturbance, it is only a matter of time before they find the Merman race's territory!

And in the depths of the Demon Abyss Sea, it is rumored that there are several Transformation God demons! With my current mere Core Formation cultivation, entering the deep sea is even more of a dead end!

So, in the current situation, if I want to break the situation! The only way is to raise my cultivation to the early stage of Nascent Soul, and try my best! Only then is it possible to barely survive in the outer Demon Abyss Sea!

But now time is running out, and I don't have enough time to break through to Nascent Soul at my normal cultivation speed! Therefore, the only way to save myself is to go to the Sea of Slaughter, seek opportunities, and find a way out that belongs to me!"
