Serpent Ancestor

The old dog always shows up at strange times and in strange places, leaving Xu Hei utterly speechless.

”The Yin Sha Qi here is so dense, perfect for my cultivation and safe too. Why shouldn’t I come?” Hei Huang sneered.

Xu Hei’s expression turned odd. ”Did you get caught and brought here?”

Hei Huang’s eyes widened in anger. ”Nonsense, how could they possibly catch me? I came here on my own!”

Xu Hei remained silent, merely glancing at the deep passageway ahead.

At this moment, Hei Huang had already dug a tunnel, its depth unknown and its destination unclear.

Everything was left unsaid.

Hei Huang’s face turned livid, inwardly cursing that damned Narwhal Elder for being so heartless. If it weren’t for that guy personally taking action, how could he have been caught?

”Enough about me, tell me, how did you get caught?” Hei Huang quickly changed the subject, hands on his hips.

”That’s a long story.”

Xu Hei sighed and briefly recounted the events.

Hei Huang listened with amazement and then burst into schadenfreude laughter.

”The Sea Commerce Guild wants you dead, the Immortal Pavilion wants you dead, even the enforcement team wants you dead. Hahaha! You might as well just wait to die, there’s no saving you!” Hei Huang laughed so hard his stomach hurt.

Xu Hei’s mouth twitched. This old dog really was heartless, not even knowing how to say something comforting.

But indeed, his luck was terribly bad, running into three enemies at once, each wanting him dead, without even needing to coordinate.

”No worries, I have Elder Mo’s token. If push comes to shove, I’ll just show the token and make a run for it,” Xu Hei said.

Hei Huang chuckled, ”The token is useless, they can just pretend not to know. As for running away...”

Hei Huang spoke while glancing down at the bottomless hole.

Xu Hei also crawled closer to peer into the hole.

When he arrived, he saw Hei Huang digging, not knowing how long he’d been at it. Now, there was a pitch-black tunnel, bottomless and destination unknown.

”Where does this dog hole lead?” Xu Hei asked.

”What dog hole? This is a space tunnel, leading directly outside,” Hei Huang retorted.

Xu Hei’s expression turned odd again. ”Really?”

”About to... become real!” Hei Huang replied.

”...” Xu Hei was utterly speechless.

”You have heavy oil, right? Get some over here, I can speed up the process!” Hei Huang urged.

Without a second thought, Xu Hei pulled out two barrels of heavy oil and tossed them into the pit.

He had about a hundred barrels of this stuff, usually useless, but if it could really help construct a formation to teleport outside, it would be worth it.

However, Xu Hei seriously doubted whether this old dog’s plan was feasible. This was the Penglai Sea, not some other sect; could they really escape so easily?

Hei Huang said nothing, directly opening the heavy oil and pouring it into the hole, then jumped in.

”Give me a few days, and I guarantee a passage will be ready!” Hei Huang said earnestly.

Xu Hei nodded. He had nothing else to do, so he might as well stay here and keep watch.

The demonic beasts within a hundred feet had been scared off by Xu Hei, though their eyes showed reluctance, especially the vulture he had sent flying, now completely featherless, its eyes filled with malice.

Xu Hei chuckled inwardly.

In this prison, all the demonic beasts were at the Demon Core Stage. As long as they weren’t at the Elemental Infant stage, how could they deal with him? Xu Hei couldn’t even fathom losing.

However, Xu Hei remained cautious, knowing Lei Guang wouldn’t let him off easily and would surely take action.

...

In the following days, Lei Guang conducted a series of investigations into Wang Zhen.

Whether openly or secretly, no one knew what exactly was uncovered, but it certainly infuriated Wang Zhen.

As the Elder guarding the Treasure Pavilion for two hundred years, he wasn’t the most senior, but being investigated by a newcomer of just twenty years was a slap in the face.

Clean? After guarding for two hundred years, how could he be clean? But everyone turned a blind eye, except for this clueless youngster who loved to investigate.

”Young people these days are getting more and more restless, always wanting to step on the older generation to rise. It’s outrageous!”

Wang Zhen took out the tobacco Xu Hei had given him, took a deep puff, and cursed at the distant spy, ”This was given to me by Xu Hei, see that? Go ahead and report me! Go on!”

A loach underwater quickly fled.

”Damn it, I must teach this kid a lesson!”

Wang Zhen’s face darkened as he took out a communication talisman.

...

At the same time, in the dungeon of the Enforcement Hall.

”It’s done, it’s done, haha, it’s done!”

Hei Huang’s excited voice echoed from the depths of the hole.

With Xu Hei’s heavy oil assistance, it took him only three days to construct a space formation that could connect to the outside, breaking through the spatial barrier of the Penglai Sea!

This was nothing short of a groundbreaking achievement!

”It’s done?”

Xu Hei looked thoughtful.

During this time, he had been observing Hei Huang’s formation process. After drinking Enlightenment Tea, his comprehension had greatly improved, allowing him to grasp some insights.

Xu Hei asked, ”Is the space here different from other places?”

”Haha, exactly!” Hei Huang laughed, explaining, ”Within the Penglai Sea, every place is filled with Spiritual Qi, and the space is ancient and unbreakable. But this dungeon is somewhat unusual!”

”By properly utilizing this point, you can fold the space here with the outside, aligning them to enable spatial jumps...”

Hei Huang explained at length, and Xu Hei listened, somewhat confused but grasping a bit.

In short, constructing a teleportation array elsewhere to jump outside was nearly impossible, but there was a chance of success in this dungeon.

”Moreover, my teleportation array is bidirectional! Not only can you jump outside, but you can also come back in from outside, without needing a guard to lead you. You can go back and forth as you please!” Hei Huang said proudly.

”...” Xu Hei was completely stunned.

This old dog was truly impressive; he could actually pull this off!

To enter from outside the Penglai Sea, one must be led by an immortal.

Xu Hei increasingly felt that this old dog was mysterious and seemed capable of anything.

However, when Xu Hei’s gaze carefully examined the formation in the hole, he felt something was off.

Hei Huang smiled and said, ”Xu Hei, you try it first.”

”Why don’t you try it?” Xu Hei immediately grew cautious.

”When there’s something good, of course, a brother should go first. I set this up especially for you!” Hei Huang said.

I don’t believe you... Xu Hei scrutinized Hei Huang and shook his head again. ”No! You try it first!”

”Oh? You don’t trust me!” Hei Huang glared.

It wasn’t that Xu Hei didn’t trust him, but the idea of a formation allowing travel back and forth through the Penglai Sea being completed so easily felt unreal, as if there was some trick involved.

”Just tell me, what’s the success rate?” Xu Hei asked.

”Ninety percent! No! A hundred percent!” Hei Huang corrected himself.
