Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1463: Chapter 545

”Seventh Elder, do we truly let that thieving bird go?”

Deep under the dark sea, three demon crabs looked up towards the sky, their vision seemingly piercing through the endless waters to see the scene above.

These three demons had extremely ugly appearances.

Their bodies were covered with compound eyes, and strands of white marks encircled their shells, while their sprawling pincers were filled with sharp and fierce bristles.

They bore the distinct appearance of Demon Spider Crabs.

The three demons under the sea were not large in size, but the powerful aura they emitted was indeed daunting.

They were clearly existences of Third Order Demon Kings!

Their intentional reduction in size was not without reason.

This was specifically aimed at the Tianxuan Fighting Bird!

Over these five years, within the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, various demon crab species which often act tyrannically had repeatedly seen Second Order members go missing.

It was later discovered that there was a malevolent Flood Dragon from outside preying on demon crabs.

For this reason, the Blue Emperor Crab Tribe made several moves, and even the King Crab Clan under the leadership of Old Elder Jin Ao, attempted to capture and kill this malevolent Flood Dragon.

It was also during that time, it was exposed that the malevolent Flood Dragon was not without support.

It had eerily formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Tianxuan Fighting Bird.

You must know, the Tianxuan Fighting Bird is a natural enemy of the Black Scaled Flood Dragon!

Since then, capturing the Black Scaled Flood Dragon has become even more challenging; the adversary has clearly become craftier.

At the same time, their actions became more rampant, not just the Black Scaled Flood Dragon, even the Tianxuan Fighting Bird joined in on the unrestrained hunting of demon crabs.

Both in the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, rampaging unscrupulously, a flood dragon and a bird, omnipresent in sea, land, and air, posing a real challenge for the crabs.

Such unrestrained atrocities, if it were in previous years, would have been jointly exterminated by the Five Great Royal Clans.

However strangely, the powerhouse King Crab Clan, after just one move, no longer intercedes with the Black Scaled Flood Dragons.

And the Blue Emperor Crab Tribe with the greatest losses strangely closed off their tribal homeland and reduced the activity range of their people.

The other three tribes, the Red Rock Crabs resided within the submarine volcanic trenches and rarely frequented shallow waters.

The Nine Claw Poison King Crab disregarded this entirely, as from beginning to end, the Black Scaled Flood Dragons had never acted against the Poison King Crabs.

Instead, it was their notorious Demon Spider Crab Clan that was targeted by this evil flood dragon and thieving bird!

Not just the Second Order clansmen, but even those of the First Order, they spared none!

Such brutality, clear as day, could not be tolerated by anyone.

Thus, this led to the three Great Demon Kings of the Demon Spider Crab Clan joining forces, setting up an ambush, aiming to exterminate the evil flood dragon and thieving bird!

But frustratingly, after using a clansman as bait to draw in the Tianxuan Fighting Bird into falling for the trap, something unexpected occurred.

Before they had the opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, in this region of the sea, a group of Human Cultivators arrived.

Upon seeing the Tianxuan Fighting Bird, these Human Cultivators immediately initiated an attack on it.

Under the sea, the leading Demon Spider Crab showed a look of perplexity.

Watching the battle above the sea, it blinked and said, ”That fighting bird isn’t getting away.”

The other two demons did not understand his meaning.

”That is just an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator, he might manage to fight for a bit, but killing the Tianxuan Fighting Bird seems beyond his capability!”

Seventh Elder shook his head, ”No, you two are weaker in realm and can’t grasp the real situation. They don’t intend to kill this fighting bird, they want to capture it alive.”

Capturing alive!

Upon hearing this, the two companions exchanged looks of disbelief.

An Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator wanting to capture a fighting bird with great combat strength and extremely fast flight speed, was this not daydreaming?

Seeing this, Seventh Elder quietly explained, ”That Big Ship is enveloped by a powerful Array, with even stronger presences inside. They are not taking action now, which clearly indicates their confidence. Not to mention this fighting bird, even if we three attacked, we likely wouldn’t gain much advantage.”

The other two demons were struck dumb.

While they were no great shakes, Seventh Elder was a genuine Third-Order Middle Stage Realm.

Together, harnessing the innate talents of the Demon Spider Crab Clan, even if faced with the cunning and resourceful Human Cultivators, unless facing a Late Golden Core opponent, they would be capable of holding their own.

Could it be...

Both demons exchanged a glance, harboring a guess.

Demon Spider Crab Clan was known for their keen perception, and Seventh Elder had extraordinary experiences in his early years, enhancing his perceptive abilities even further.

It was highly possible that the Seventh Elder had sensed a presence on the Big Ship that even he feared.

”What should we do now?”

Seventh Elder was also somewhat hesitant, pondering for a moment before saying: ”Let’s wait and observe a bit longer. If that Tianxuan Fighting Bird really escapes, it won’t be too late for us to give chase. If it gets captured, its fate won’t be pleasant either—either killed for parts or relegated to being a mount for the Immortal Cultivators. In this way, we can also deemed to have used others to exact revenge for the low Order members of our Demon Spider Crab Clan. Besides, with this bird gone, the other malevolent flood dragon will be easy to handle.”

Such smooth and organized reasoning.

Unbeknownst to others, one might even think he was a Human Cultivator known for their wisdom.

After hearing this, the other two demons wholeheartedly accepted Seventh Elder’s plan.

Not to mention anything else, within their Demon Spider Crab Clan, Seventh Elder was renowned for his cunning and often provided many strategies for the clan’s development.

This time, if not for the Human Cultivators’ interference, they could have securely executed the Tianxuan Fighting Bird.

Listening to him was definitely not wrong!

...

Above the sea.

A colossal Big Ship spanned the sea surface.

Its sails half-hung, figures loomed.
