After witnessing the trio's strength, the elder completely changed his attitude. He instantly fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded with Bai Cheng and the others to help the Sea People resolve the threat on the island once and for all.

Yu Nian curled her lips and teased with feigned mockery, "We told you we were strong, but you didn't believe us. Don't worry, we won't drink your tea for nothing."

With that, the three of them stood up and walked out of the house. The elder immediately rose respectfully to lead the way, introducing the situation urgently as they walked:

"The leader of those rulers, we call him 'Black Fin,' but based on the snatches of conversation I've overheard, his code name seems to be 'Pisces.'"

"The ones you just killed were his subordinates. I secretly suspect there might be a much larger organization behind this code name, but... I've never seen any other members, so perhaps there isn't."

Yu Nian turned her head and asked, "Then after we kill him, it won't attract other enemies to you, will it?"

Leng Ningxue also added calmly, "After all, we won't be staying here forever."

The elder shook his head, a thoughtful expression appearing on his aged face: "That possibility is unlikely. From what I've observed, even if there are other helpers, they must be of equal rank rather than a superior-subordinate relationship."

"Perhaps... they each have their own mission areas and do not interfere with each other."

Bai Cheng nodded faintly upon hearing this, "Then let's just do it."

The reason the three of them were completely unconcerned was that they hadn't sensed the aura of any King-level powerhouse on the island since they first arrived. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Without even a King-level present, this problem that had plagued the Sea People for years was merely a trivial matter that could be solved in an instant for them.

As the group approached the new building known as the "Sea-View Pavilion," Bai Cheng spoke again to confirm: "You're sure it's there?"

Seeing the elder nod vigorously, a strange light suddenly erupted from Bai Cheng's pupils.

Then, she simply raised her hand and made a grasping motion in the air—

"Boom!!!"

Invisible spatial power instantly converged. The building ahead, forcibly constructed from Sacred Mountain stone with cold, sharp lines, along with all the life inside, was crushed into powder in a single moment, as if it had never existed.

The elder was once again shocked beyond measure.

He couldn't tell at all what ability Bai Cheng was using, and he hadn't even seen clearly how she had made her move.

"Go and check," Bai Cheng said nonchalantly.

The elder was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately rushed toward the ruins with stumbling but urgent steps.

He had to see the corpse of the enemy who had ruled over them for years, known as "Black Fin" or "Pisces," with his own eyes to be completely at ease.

Everything went very smoothly, and no accidents occurred.

When the elder dug out the mangled, barely recognizable corpse from the rubble, he trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his face as he shouted to the sky and the sea:

"We... are liberated! Sea God, we are free!"

Some Sea People tribe members, startled by the loud noise, arrived one after another and witnessed the ruins and the remains of their enemy.

As this monumental good news quickly spread throughout the island, the entire Chao Yin Island fell into an unprecedented state of fervor.

The ecstasy of survival and the years of accumulated humiliation and pain turned into cheers and tears.

Meanwhile, Bai Cheng, Yu Nian, and Leng Ningxue, the three unexpected guests, were surrounded by all the Sea People tribe members and revered as deities who had saved their race from fire and water.

After the initial ecstasy of liberation had subsided slightly, Elder Moto bowed deeply to Bai Cheng and the others with the most earnest gaze of the entire tribe:

"Noble benefactors, please stay on Chao Yin Island for a few days! Let us show you some hospitality and repay this kindness with the sea's most bountiful gifts."

"Although we Sea People are poor, we have a secret fish feast passed down through generations that only the most distinguished guests and important celebrations can enjoy. Please give us this opportunity!"

Bai Cheng thought for a moment.

The train was temporarily stopped, and they did indeed need time to understand the situation in the "Emerald Sea" and the surrounding areas.

Furthermore, she was somewhat curious about the seafood that those invaders had forcibly occupied the best fishing grounds for and had been salivating over.

Thus, she nodded slightly, "Alright, then we shall trouble you."

That evening, a warm bonfire was lit in the central clearing of Chao Yin Island.

All the Sea People swung into action, taking out their most prized, plump "Crystal Phosphorus Fish" and several rare types of glowing algae to cook in an ancient ceremony.

There were no complex seasonings; ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) only sea salt and a few unique herbs were used to enhance the flavor, preserving the original taste of the ingredients to the greatest extent.

The atmosphere of the banquet was relaxed and cheerful, a world away from the oppressive despair in the stone house earlier.

Sea People children hid in the distance, peeking curiously, while the adults sang and danced, playing melodious tunes like the tide on simple shell and coral instruments.

Bai Cheng, Yu Nian, and Leng Ningxue were seated in the places of honor, surrounded by the tribe's most sincere smiles and gratitude.

As she tasted the fish that looked simple but was exceptionally delicious, its meat containing pure water element power, Bai Cheng suddenly noticed something unusual.

A gentle and pure energy quietly merged into her body as the food was digested. Although it was minuscule, it truly brought a slight increase in experience.

Her movements paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had never seen food that could directly provide experience points! Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue had clearly noticed it too, and they exchanged a surprised look.

Elder Moto had been closely watching the expressions of the three guests. Seeing them look satisfied and even surprised, his wrinkled, pale blue face broke into a wide smile, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, he stepped forward again and requested respectfully and eagerly, "It is our supreme honor that our distinguished guests enjoy it!"

"Please give us one more day! Tomorrow, we will gather the tribe's best fishermen and head to a secret ancient fishing ground to catch an even more precious Star-Patterned Sea Bream for you."

"This fish is extremely rare. Not only is its flavor far superior to the Crystal Phosphorus Fish, but the ocean essence it contains is also more concentrated. It can be given as a gift for our distinguished guests to take away, as a small token of our Sea People's gratitude."

Yu Nian was already very interested in this magical fish meat that could increase experience. Her eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she readily agreed before Bai Cheng could speak, "Great! Then we'll trouble you, Elder and everyone!"

Seeing this, Bai Cheng could only smile helplessly and nod in agreement.

The elder and the Sea People immediately cheered, and the banquet atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

After the banquet, the three of them strolled to the seaside.

The surface of the sea at Chao Yin Island at night shimmered with soft phosphorescence, reflecting the eternal, non-naturally formed clouds of shimmering light in the sky, quiet and strange.

"There is no Silent Night here," Yu Nian said softly, looking at the sky that never turned completely dark.

The flow of time in the Infinite Realm was completely different from the outside world.

"And," Leng Ningxue's cold voice followed, "it's surprising that a race as weak as the Sea People still exists. It seems this place isn't quite as we initially imagined, where unattainable powerhouses are everywhere."

This experience gave them a more concrete understanding of the ecology of the Infinite Realm.

There were also distinctions between the strong and the weak here, with oppressed civilizations, and the chasm of power might be even more vast than in the outside world.
