Chapter 1755 Coercion, Self-Proof!
All of a sudden!
The dark depths of the sea seem to be stirred by an invisible force.
Within a vast expanse of sea, anxious shouts spread out like tangible ripples, layer upon layer, disrupting the currents and causing undercurrents to surge.
Some of the weaker sea monsters were startled by the sudden sound waves and fled in all directions. The coral reefs trembled slightly, and even the sea sand that had been deposited for thousands of years seemed to churn in the sound waves.
At that moment, Shark Minghong, who had just emerged disheveled from the deep sea pit, paused in his tracks.
The murky water that had not yet dissipated around him suddenly stopped.
His face darkened, and a faint yet extremely cold glint of malice flashed in his eyes.
These mournful cries, one after another, wave after wave, would be heard by those unaware of the situation.
They probably don't really think the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan is holding a funeral for him!
However, Sha Minghong's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
A calm yet penetrating voice, like a sharp sword slicing through layers of water, echoed clearly in every corner of the vast ocean:
"I am here!"
You need not worry.
The voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority and could be clearly heard for miles around!
It seemed to whisper in the ear of every living being, reaching the very depths of their soul.
Upon hearing this...
The Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan Half-Saint, who had been searching aimlessly like headless flies, suddenly calmed down.
Without the slightest hesitation, his demonic power erupted, transforming into streaks of dazzling rainbow light of various colors, cleaving through the dark seawater and shooting towards the source of the sound.
In a blink of an eye.
One after another, powerful figures appeared, standing silently before Shark Minghong, their heads bowed respectfully.
Each one of them represents the essence of the clan, their aura as deep and abyss-like, astonishingly powerful.
In just a few short breaths...
Sha Minghong had changed into a brand new robe with a black background and gold patterns at some point, and wore a dark jade crown. His disheveled appearance was completely gone.
Ripples brushed against his cold, handsome profile, which remained as disdainful and indifferent as ever.
It was as if the person who had just emerged from the deep pit was not him at all.
See this scene.
The leading elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan exchanged glances and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Especially when their divine senses swept over him, they clearly sensed that Shark Minghong's aura was steady and his demonic power was as abundant as ever.
After becoming even more subtle and profound than before, the last bit of worry in my heart was finally put down.
The reason why the Black Tiger Shark Clan was able to unite as one and organize such a large expeditionary force...
The most fundamental reliance is on the unfathomable strength and skill of the new clan leader before them.
otherwise.
These old guys alone are no match for any of the top races.
After all, the clan has no spiritual objects that govern laws, and their hopes for further advancement rest on the clan leader before them.
If these semi-saints could break through on their own, they wouldn't have wasted thousands of years, or even several thousand years.
Obviously.
With their limited understanding, they were simply unable to grasp that faint opportunity to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.
That's why they place all their hopes on external things.
In other words, they become spiritual objects governed by laws, thus ascending to the heavens in one step and entering the ranks of the top experts in the cultivation world.
Otherwise, how could Shark Minghong's forceful suppression truly subdue these old monsters who have lived for countless years and only seek the Great Dao?
It's all just a matter of intertwined interests and each side getting what it wants.
Those present, even those who had attained semi-respect, were well aware of this.
Sha Minghong knew this perfectly well.
Therefore, these clan elders absolutely do not want any accidents to happen to the new clan chief before the goal is achieved.
therefore!
Seeing that Sharm Minghong was in good condition, even better than before, they finally calmed down their anxiety.
This is not just empty talk!
Rather, it is the expression of their most genuine emotions from the depths of their hearts.
At this moment, a clan elder with an aged face on the side of the queue had a barely perceptible look of hesitation in his eyes.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but due to the situation, he found it difficult to speak.
But everyone present was a seasoned veteran with keen perception and keen insight, so they all noticed the subtle changes in his expression.
Similarly, Sha Minghong naturally noticed it as well.
See it!
With a quick glance, Sha Minghong understood the other party's worries.
Immediately, He waved his hand, glanced at all the semi-elders present, and said indifferently:
"I know the worries in your hearts!"
"I will handle this matter; you need not worry."
His voice was calm and even, yet it carried an air of convincing authority.
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances, secretly thinking to themselves:
Perhaps I'm just overthinking things?
After that, Sha Minghong said no more, and simply said:
"Let's go back and rejoin the army!"
"Yes!"
"···"
The elders responded in unison.
Then!
In the dark and murky depths of the sea, eerie lights shone once more, bursting forth.
Like a shooting star against the current, it sped towards the temporary encampment of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan army, thousands of miles away.
In the blink of an eye, Shark Minghong and a group of semi-saint elders stood in the air above a magnificent cluster of warships.
At this moment, on the towering warships below, all the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan soldiers looked up, their gazes filled with complex emotions...
The fervor and reverence that once filled his eyes were long gone.
Instead, there was suspicion, scrutiny, and even deep hesitation.
Obviously.
Ao Yuan's words of piercing the heart before his death have pierced the hearts of countless demon clans like poisonous thorns:
Is the new clan leader in front of us a powerful figure from another race in disguise?
If it were just an ordinary army, they might not question the authenticity of the commander.
But this is a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak and possession and soul swapping are commonplace!
That would be a different story.
Especially the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's expeditionary army, the weakest of whom was at the Golden Core level, had lived for hundreds or thousands of years and had seen countless storms and strange events. None of them were truly stupid.
In other words, each of them possesses formidable strength, as well as their own ideas and schemes.
In addition, Shark Minghong's rise to power was too sudden.
Originally, Shark Minghong did not possess such terrifying combat power!
This also made some Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan cultivators begin to have doubts when they first heard that Shark Minghong had become the clan leader.
Ao Yuan's last words only fueled this suspicion.
Although they had no prior interaction with Shark Minghong, the news of Ao Yuan and Shark Minghong, these two arch-enemies, was not a secret in the past.
therefore.
The Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan cultivators were almost all aware of the relationship between the two.
To put it bluntly: Ao Yuan understands Sha Minghong better than any other cultivator.
That's why...
Ao Yuan's words before his death were very likely not unfounded.
Therefore, the entire army's eyes not only flickered when they looked at Shark Minghong,
Even when looking at the other half-saint elders who had returned with him, there was less of the usual awe and more of a subtle scrutiny—
Who knows if these old monsters have already been infiltrated or even participated in this conspiracy?
Similar thoughts lingered in the minds of many Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan cultivators.
This unusual expression, this heavy, even oppressive atmosphere...
The elders, all of whom were half-saints, had already noticed this while leading the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan army in their retreat.
If not handled properly, not only will the grand expedition plan be in jeopardy, but the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, may also be in danger of falling apart!
however.
Sha Minghong, however, remained indifferent, maintaining his calm and detached demeanor.
At this moment, several powerful figures leaped out from the main ship below.
From the warships below, several figures with powerful auras emerged.
They were all powerful demon lords in the late Nascent Soul stage.
On that same day, he personally witnessed Shark Minghong suppressing all "disobedient" members with an iron fist in the clan's main hall.
One of the demon lords took a deep breath, and under immense psychological pressure, a resolute look finally appeared in his eyes.
He was well aware of the risks of rashly questioning—
They would likely be killed on the spot, their body and soul annihilated.
But the position of clan leader...
It concerns the fate and future of the entire tribe and must not be stolen by foreign tribes.
Thinking of this,
The great tiger shark demon also strengthened its resolve, bowing respectfully to Shark Minghong, its voice trembling almost imperceptibly, yet exceptionally firm:
"I deeply admire the power of the clan leader."
However, the rise of the clan leader was too sudden and truly surprised us.
In the past, I would never have uttered a word, but now that we have lost contact with the clan's patriarch, and the position of clan leader is crucial to the clan's succession, therefore…”
Sha Minghong took a step forward into the air.
A faint ripple spread out from beneath his feet, causing the surrounding water to pause slightly.
His eyes were indifferent as he looked down at the demon lord.
"So what?"
"Do you doubt our clan leader?"
Upon hearing this, among the countless warships below, while no demon uttered a word of agreement, not a single one dared to refute it either…
But a series of gazes, filled with doubt and unease, were like invisible thorns, all focused on Sha Minghong.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Seeing this, Sha Minghong frowned almost imperceptibly, clearly extremely displeased.
At this moment, one of the clan elders suddenly erupted, unleashing a terrifying aura that swept over the questioning demon lord, shouting:
"Ling Qi, do you even know the difference between superior and inferior?!"
Faced with the wrath of the half-elder clan elder, most of the countless Black Spirit Tiger Shark demons present, though somewhat resentful, did not utter a word of rebuttal.
However, those lesser demon realm beings, who were the lowest-ranking Golden Core stage tiger shark demons in the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's expeditionary army, were trembling with fear and lowered their heads in unison in the face of the half-elder's anger.
the other side.
Faced with the terrifying pressure from the semi-elder clan elder, the demon lord named Ling Qi's body immediately creaked under the strain.
Cracks spread from the surface of the skin, and demonic blood gushed out, resembling a porcelain doll about to shatter.
however!
Despite the excruciating pain of his physical body collapsing, he kept his gaze fixed on Sha Minghong and declared firmly:
"We request that the clan leader testify!"
Regardless of the outcome, I am willing to atone with my death.
We beg the clan leader... to grant our request.
These words seemed to ignite some kind of fuse.
The suppressed emotions of the entire army were instantly ignited. Countless tiger shark demons abandoned their calculations, their blood boiling with passion, and their shouts erupted like a tsunami:
"Please grant my request, clan leader!"
"Please, clan leader, testify!"
"···"
"Grant it! Grant it!!"
The sound of the waves shook the sea, rolling away.
Seeing this scene,
The expressions of the group of semi-saint elders changed drastically. They stepped forward in unison, their combined auras attempting to forcefully suppress the near-mutiny situation.
"quiet!
Are you all planning a rebellion?!
Where are the clan rules?!
at this time--
Sha Minghong slowly raised his hand to stop the elders.
His gaze, as cold as an abyss, slowly swept over the thousands of demons below, his voice remaining indifferent:
"You, step back."
He paused slightly, then continued:
"Is this... enough?"
In an instant...
An ancient, powerful, and noble bloodline pressure suddenly erupted from Shark Minghong's body!
Behind him, endless water elemental power converged, and a colossal, ferocious, and majestic phantom of a blood-red tiger shark roared up.
It almost burst open this sea area!
The phantom was so solid and real, with scales and armor clearly visible, and bloodshot eyes. It carried the oppressive force of the purest and most primitive Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's superior bloodline, sweeping across every inch of seawater and enveloping every demon of the clan!
Under this oppressive bloodline power, all the low-grade and mid-grade bloodline tiger shark demons felt their blood boiling and their souls trembling.
That is reverence and submission that comes from the very source of life!
Upon seeing the "True Shadow of the Blood Shark," which can only be manifested by the purest and finest bloodlines, the doubts in the hearts of countless demon clans vanished instantly.
Even the semi-saint elders, after carefully sensing the situation, completely put aside their last trace of worry and nodded to themselves:
The bloodline energy was perfectly integrated, without the slightest discord…
"It seems we were indeed overthinking things."
"···"
Not bad.
The crimson tiger shark phantom rising behind Shark Minghong is a manifestation of his bloodline.
If it were an imposter from another race, it would be impossible for them to possess the bloodline of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.
Not to mention that this is an extremely rare top-grade royal bloodline in the clan!
After all, the overwhelming pressure of bloodline power cannot be faked by any secret technique or illusion.
That's a suppression at the level of life itself.
If one's body is possessed by a foreign race, although one can inherit the original owner's bloodline...
No matter how exquisite the method of possession is, and how perfectly the soul and body are integrated, there will still be an indelible disharmony between the bloodline and the soul.
Only through possession by members of the same clan can bloodlines and souls be perfectly intact.
Therefore, the group of semi-elders were completely relieved.
Even if it's a possession by someone of the same clan, it doesn't matter.
As long as you're a member of the Black Tiger Shark Clan, that's enough.
Unfortunately, these half-elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan were unaware that the mysteries of the Spirit Realm's secret arts far exceeded their imagination.
The fragment of the Primordial Ancestor's soul had long since been completely assimilated through a strange secret method, perfectly merging with Shark Minghong's original soul, body, and bloodline.
Let alone them, even if Luo Sha, the Demon Lord of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, were to be resurrected and return, he might not be able to see through the clues.
But no one knew any of this except for the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan.
After the group of semi-saint elders withdrew their gazes, the awe-inspiring blood-red tiger shark phantom behind Shark Minghong slowly disappeared into his body, and the vast bloodline pressure dissipated.
He glanced indifferently at the silent army below, his command concise and cold:
"Form ranks and set off."
Before he finished speaking, his figure flickered and appeared like a ghost outside the luxurious and majestic purple-gold chariot.
He lifted the beaded curtain with a large hand and stepped straight into the car.
Not long after...
Bugles wailed, and banners fluttered.
The Black Tiger Shark Clan's expeditionary force set off once again.
Like a giant, moving shadow, it silently and resolutely advanced towards the deep-sea territory ruled by the Golden Dragon Clan.
