Shen Luo retracted his Pure Yang Sword Embryo and Bloodthirsty Flag, then turned to look at the few Mirror Fiends encased in ice.

However, at that moment, a flash of blue light passed through the eight icy Mirror Fiend sculptures, and seven of them slowly dissipated, vanishing completely after a few breaths, leaving only one, which appeared to be the main body.

Shen Luo walked over, scrutinized the Mirror Fiend within the ice, and a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes as he placed his hand on the sculpture.

A flash of golden light passed over his hand, the Heavenly Book Projection flickered, and the Mirror Fiend ice sculpture disappeared without a trace, absorbed into the Heavenly Book.

He thought the abilities of this Mirror Fiend were decent and could be useful in the future, so he decided to keep it.

Shen Luo then walked over to the frozen Middle-aged man with the family name Zhen and others, and with a flip of his palm, a spread of blue light dissipated the freezing Qi that had enveloped them, and the blue solid ice also began to crack.

One by one, the group of six stood up, each with patches of blue and white on their faces.

Fortunately, they were quite far from Shen Luo when they had been frozen and hadn't suffered any frostbite, and by circulating their own Qi, the blue hues on their faces quickly faded away.

“Daoist friend Zhen, and fellow cultivators, I have not yet fully mastered the Ice Divine Power I used just now, and I apologize for having allowed you to be frozen by the Qi.” Shen Luo clasped his hands in apology.

“It's not a problem, no problem at all,” the Middle-aged man with the family name Zhen hurriedly waved his hands, his gaze filled with awe when he looked at Shen Luo.

The rest were the same, silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter another word.

On the East Sea Maritime Route, where no one governed, the law of survival of the fittest applied, with frequent incidents of road robberies, and murder for money, and with Shen Luo's strength far surpassing that of the others, they were naturally trembling with fear.

“I, Shen Luo, and my companions are out at sea for the first time and have gotten a bit lost, accidentally ending up here. May I ask where the nearest island is?” Seeing the others so frightened, Shen Luo could only volunteer his situation and ask for directions.

“The nearest island from here is Red Zhidan Island, about three thousand miles southwest of this place,” replied the Middle-aged man with the family name Zhen, his hesitant demeanor slightly relaxed now that he saw Shen Luo bore no malicious intent, eager to answer.

“Red Zhidan Island…” Shen Luo recalled the situation on the sea map. This island was a small one on the northern fringes of the Luo Star Archipelago. He had gone astray and ended up further away than expected, nearly flying past the vicinity of the Luo Star Archipelago.

If he hadn't encountered the Middle-aged man with the family name Zhen and the others, he might have flown straight to the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent after another two days.

He silently praised his luck, then said to the man named Zhen, “Thank you for your guidance, Daoist friend Zhen. I'm keeping that Mirror Fiend as it might be useful to me. Please accept this Nascent Soul Phase Roaring Bull Demon I hunted two days ago as compensation.”

As he said this, he waved his hand, and the corpse of a monster resembling a green ox fell in front of them with a thud.

“We have already been graced by your life-saving beneficence, Daoist Shen, and have not yet had the chance to repay you; we couldn't possibly accept more from you. Please take it back,” the Middle-aged man with the family name Zhen hurriedly said.

The black-bearded Old Man and the others also came to their senses and unanimously declined.

“It is just a Nascent Soul Phase monster; I don't give it a second thought. Please accept it,” Shen Luo said, with a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Since he had gone the wrong way, he had encountered numerous monster attacks along his journey, slaying a good twenty or thirty of them. This one didn't matter to him in the slightest.

After speaking, Shen Luo turned to leave.

“Daoist friend Shen, please wait,” the Middle-aged man with the family name Zhen suddenly stepped forward.

Shen Luo stopped in his tracks and turned around.

“Fellow cultivator generously bestows a monster upon us, which we cannot refuse without appearing ungrateful. However, should we not repay the great kindness of saving our lives, we would feel restless. I have something to inform fellow cultivator about, concerning that Mirror Fiend. Our strength is insufficient, to merely be aware of this matter and powerless to do anything about it. Brother Shen, with your profound cultivation, will surely be able to reap the benefits, which will serve as our way of expressing gratitude,” said the man surnamed Zhen hastily.

“Oh? What is it?” Shen Luo became quite curious from what the man surnamed Zhen had said.

The expressions of the few people beside the man surnamed Zhen shifted slightly, and they intended to stop him in secret, but the man had already spoken.

“This matter started several months ago when I and these fellow cultivators went out to sea to hunt demons. We stumbled upon a seabed fissure, where treasure light was faintly visible. Upon entering for a closer look, inside was another world, a cave, teeming with precious spirit materials. Just as we were about to collect the treasure, the Mirror Fiend appeared out of nowhere. This demon is powerful and possesses a strange reflective divine power. We were no match and had to retreat. After preparing thoroughly, we returned to that Ocean Eye yesterday to explore again, only to find that aside from the Mirror Fiend, there was an even more formidable Tear Demon. We were soundly defeated again, and two of our companions even perished there,” the man surnamed Zhen said with a sigh.

“What! A Tear Demon!” Shen Luo was both shocked and thrilled upon hearing this.

He had been worrying over the Snow Soul Pill and did not expect to come across a lead on the Tear Demon here.

“Having suffered such a heavy blow, we quickly fled. The Tear Demon did not give chase, only the Mirror Fiend pursued us. It seemed to harbor a grudge against us for entering the Ocean Eye repeatedly, chasing us relentlessly. Fortunately, we encountered Brother Shen. Otherwise, we likely would not have survived today,” said the man surnamed Zhen, unaware of the change in Shen Luo's expression, continuing his story.

“This Mirror Fiend's cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and its reflective divine power is indeed tricky and difficult to counter. If the Tear Demon's strength is above the Mirror Fiend's, has it reached the Great Mahayana Stage?” Shen Luo had calmed down and pressed for answers.

“It should not have. From what I observed, the Tear Demon's strength is probably just at the peak of the Nascent Soul Phase. Otherwise, how could we have escaped with our lives?” the man surnamed Zhen replied.

Shen Luo thought about it and nodded slightly.

“Where is this seabed cave located?” he then asked.

“Right here.” The man surnamed Zhen took out a sea chart and marked a spot on it.

Shen Luo looked up, committed the location to memory, and found it conveniently on the way to the Luo Star Archipelago.

“Alright, I'll go and check it out now. Thank you, Brother Zhen, for the information,” he said, then turned around and flew back to the white flying boat.

Bai Xiaotian, who had been listening to the conversation, stimulated his flying boat with a spell, and with a whoosh, the white flying boat turned into a white rainbow shooting towards the south.

Seeing Shen Luo leave, the man surnamed Zhen and his companions finally relaxed their tense nerves.

“Brother Zhen, why did you tell that man about the location of the seabed cave? Even if we are no match for the Tear Demon, we could have invited more help to explore again. Now that this Shen knows, what share can we claim? Haven't we been busy for nothing all these days?” the black-bearded old man complained, unable to contain himself.

“Brother Huyan, don't be anxious. That day, when we entered the seabed cave, I was the closest to the Tear Demon and saw it clearly. The Tear Demon is not at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage but has already reached the Great Mahayana Stage. It must have just broken through recently, its realm still unstable, which is why it didn't pursue us. With Shen entering there, an intense fight with the Tear Demon is inevitable. If we follow quietly and they both suffer losses, we can take advantage of the situation. Wouldn't that be perfect?” the man surnamed Zhen said, his face devoid of the respect shown earlier, and a sinister, cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“So Brother Zhen had a plan all along. I was overthinking it. If that's the case, let's quietly make our way there,” said the black-bearded old man, enlightened, then quickly spoke with impatience.

“Wait, that Shen's magical treasures are formidable and his Ice Seal divine power unusually strong. He might not necessarily lose to the Tear Demon. Even if he and the Tear Demon inflict heavy losses on each other, with our strength, can we really deal with them?” the man in green robe suddenly interjected, his face showing hesitation and a lack of courage.

The two Soul Condensing cultivators stood behind the man in green robe, clearly looking to him as their leader.

“Brother Li need not worry about this. Some time ago, I made the acquaintance of Young Sect Leader Min of the Golden Yang Sect, who is nearby. I will send a message to him now and invite him to join us. With his assistance, we can ensure complete safety,” the man surnamed Zhen chuckled, taking out a white communication talisman.

Upon hearing this, the others felt assured, packed up the monster carcasses gifted by Shen Luo, and hurriedly departed.
