Chu Tian had not spoken a word since Jing'er appeared, observing her intently.
He noticed that after a brief conversation with Hei Sha, her words clearly indicated that she was much older than Hei Sha.
Seeing him turn to ask himself, Chu Tian looked at him with a smile, without speaking directly.
Everyone watched Chu Tian with surprise.
It was then that Chu Tian spoke.
“Miss Jing'er, what is your… relationship with the Shen Hai Hall?”
Everyone was waiting for Chu Tian to speak.
They all knew why they were here!
It was not for Chu Tian to sell large quantities of gold.
But they hadn't expected Chu Tian to mention Shen Hai Hall immediately!
Many people showed confused expressions.
Only Gao Kai’s eyes flickered.
Because out of everyone present, he was the only one who had heard these three words.
Gao Kai also knew what those three words meant to Chu Tian.
Furthermore, in the Jiao Ren Kingdom, he had learned what kind of existence Shen Hai Hall was!
The King of the Jiao Ren Kingdom had said it was like a tumor on Blue Star.
It was said that before the mythical era, Shen Hai Hall had been absorbing all the spiritual energy of Blue Star, preventing everyone on Blue Star from cultivating.
But they also had a tragic fate. Every time Blue Star entered a cycle of reincarnation, Shen Hai Hall would be like a balloon that had been punctured; all the people of Shen Hai Hall would return to dust.
This made Chu Tian feel that Shen Hai Hall was like a storage bladder for Blue Star's spiritual energy.
However, when such beings gained sentience, they were unwilling to become sacrifices of reincarnation.
They struggled through countless reincarnations, even interfering with the affairs of other living beings, trying to enslave all of them.
But they also had restrictions; they could never leave the sea.
However, this did not affect their ambition.
The King of the Jiao Ren Kingdom had said that many humans who had fallen into the sea were controlled and transformed by them.
Over ten thousand years, one could imagine how vast their numbers were.
And these humans could leave the sea.
This meant that within human society, there was a hidden group of people loyal to Shen Hai Hall.
Therefore, Chu Tian suspected that the Jing’er before him was someone hidden in the human world, loyal to Shen Hai Hall.
After Chu Tian asked, a trace of surprise flashed in Jing'er’s eyes.
Then, she revealed a smile.
“It seems you haven’t just killed people from Shen Hai Hall, but you also know its identity very well! A spirit cultivator with such high cultivation is indeed not simple!”
She paused after saying this.
Chu Tian remained silent.
Because he couldn’t be sure of her attitude. From the current situation, she didn't seem to have any hostility towards him.
Jing’er stared at Chu Tian for a long time. Seeing that he didn’t speak, she smiled slightly and spoke again.
“It seems you have deep hatred for the Sea God Hall. If… I told you I am from the Sea God Hall! Would you kill me right now?”
She paused again after saying this.
However, Chu Tian gave her a reaction.
The Wuji Qi within him suddenly turned pitch-black at this moment and emanated from his body.
“Killing intent?” Everyone felt the aura emanating from Chu Tian.
At this moment, everyone had the same thought: these two words. Especially Gao Kai.
Because his aura was killing intent. However, it was also he who first felt the difference in the black aura emanating from Chu Tian.
Even the color was different. Gao Kai’s aura was blood-red.
Although the black aura on Chu Tian’s body gave everyone a feeling of bloodlust the moment it appeared,
“It’s not killing intent!” Gao Kai thought, but he didn't show it.
Because Chu Tian’s red aura carried a strong sense of coldness, yet also a hint of warmth.
These two seemingly contradictory feelings were intertwined.
He suddenly remembered the Yin-Yang fish that had formed in the air before. One half was orange-yellow, and the other was purple.
When these two colors combined, the color that emerged from the center was exactly the color of the black aura emanating from Chu Tian now.
In the end, it was still Wuji Qi. This was the true Wuji Qi.
As a master of Tai Chi, Gao Kai had a sudden enlightenment at this moment.
He abruptly closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
“Hmm?”
Gao Kai’s sudden action drew everyone’s attention.
Jing’er let out a question.
Then, her brows relaxed, and she smiled.
“To trigger a breakthrough at this moment! If I bring him to the Shen Hai Hall, he might be able to make a great contribution! Although he is not very old, his comprehension is extraordinary!”
However, just as she finished speaking, Chu Tian suddenly stood up.
“It really is related! It’s really related!”
Her previous statement had implicitly confirmed it! She was the… tumor hidden in the human world!
“Big Brother…”
Just as the black aura around Chu Tian became substantial, Hei Sha, who had been listening by the side, suddenly flashed and stood directly in front of Jing’er!
He looked at Chu Tian with pleading eyes!
Although Chu Tian had stood up, he hadn't launched any attacks. He was merely expressing his attitude towards Shen Hai Hall.
Although Jing’er’s identity had been confirmed, Chu Tian still felt that she was not of the same kind as the so-called divine envoys he had encountered before.
If she were, then there must be other powerful individuals or mechanisms here. Otherwise, she wouldn't have led them here.
“Little Black, do you not want to live!”
Chu Tian didn’t speak. Xiao Hei immediately fired a lightning ball.
However, Xiao Hei did not use a destructive attack. The lightning ball, upon touching Hei Sha, instantly transformed into blue chains and directly bound Hei Sha. Then, Xiao Hei clenched his hand, and Hei Sha was pulled to his side.
“Brother…” Hei Sha, although restricted in his movements, could still speak. He struggled and sent pleading eyes to Xiao Hei.
“You stay put!” He said this to Hei Sha, but the next sentence was a telepathic message directed at Hei Sha.
Upon hearing this, Hei Sha’s eyes flickered. He truly stopped struggling.
When Jing’er saw Hei Sha blocking for her, her eyes flickered a few times. Seeing Hei Sha bound by Xiao Hei, she moved her fingers and bit her lip, as if showing some movement, but she held back.
“Speak. I’ll give you a chance out of consideration for Hei Sha!” Chu Tian finally spoke.
However, upon his speaking, Jing’er also smiled.
“You know, if it weren’t for little shark, you wouldn’t have been able to enter here! It has been built on the 5th level for 15 years. Apart from Hua Zi, you are the first people to enter here! Do you know why?” Jing’er asked Chu Tian.
Chu Tian answered without thinking.
“You are guarding against people from Shen Hai Hall? You don’t intend to betray them, do you? Are there many spirit cultivators in Shen Hai Hall?”
As Chu Tian spoke, he slowly retracted his aura. The previously murderous aura now showed a hint of a smile.
