Chapter 451 – Encountering A Group Of Tiger Sharks (1/2)
“Despicable!”
“Truly despicable!”
“We were actually tricked by that kid!”
“Who would’ve imagined those devil sect experts had their strength sealed. I should’ve tested them back then…”
In the depths of the Dark North Sea.
In the main hall of the Ghost Merman Sect, Ma Sheng’s face was filled with anger.
Inside the main hall, there was also an elderly person wearing attire with a star pattern on it. His gaze was cold as he said: “Sect Leader Ma, it’s not too late in knowing now. Our Grand Elder is very unhappy with you and has given you ten days to capture Princess Dark North. If he gets angry… you should know the consequences.”
Ma Sheng’s expression turned gloomy and immediately replied: “I will definitely capture Princess Dark North. I hope that Mr. Envoy will say some good words on my behalf with the Grand Elder. I am someone his elderly self groomed, so I will help him capture Princess Dark North even if it means I have to die trying.”
The elderly person faintly smiled and said: “That’s more like it.”
Immediately after…
The elderly person flipped his hand and two inner cores appeared on his palm. He circulated his energy and the cores floated over in front of Ma Sheng. “These are the inner cores that Grand Elder has prepared for you. I believe that your cultivation should rise up by a small realm after consuming these two inner cores. By that time, no one in Dark North City will be capable of stopping you.”
“Thank you!”
“Thank you, Grand Elder and Mr. Envoy. I will definitely not let you both down.” Ma Sheng was excited to the extreme. Inner cores were extremely precious items where even immortal sects treated them as such.
Last time, it was a single inner core that allowed him to kill Qiu Tianji who was at the same cultivation realm as him!
The usefulness of inner cores was simply too strong!
Seeing the smug smile on Ma Sheng, the elderly envoy revealed an evil smile. That smile passed by in a flash and no one noticed it. He then said: “Once you complete the mission, there will be many more inner cores waiting for you.”
“I will definitely capture Princess Dark North as soon as possible.”
“The day after tomorrow…”
“No, tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will bring my disciples and kill our way over to Dark North City. This time, we won’t be scared by those devil sect experts and will definitely bring Princess Dark North back,” said Ma Sheng in a hurried manner.
Hearing that he would be rewarded with additional inner cores, he wished he could capture Princess Dark North right this instant!
The elderly envoy smiled faintly and said: “Then I won’t leave for now and wait here for your good news. As for the inner cores you want, I will hold them for the time being. Once you hand Princess Dark North over to me, I will give you the rest of the inner cores.”
“Good, good.”
“Arrange the best accommodations for the Envoy!” Ma Sheng immediately ordered.
“I obey!”
One of the Elders of the Ghost Merman Sect brought the Envoy away.
The other Elders started discussing with each other in the main hall with big smiles on their faces.
“Congratulations Sect Leader.”
“Congratulations Sect Leader. With these inner cores in hand, Sect Leader’s cultivation will rise to a new realm.”
“By that time, you will be the real Dark North King.”
Ma Sheng started smiling in a proud and smug manner before saying: “We will set off for Dark North City tomorrow. This time, we definitely have to capture Princess Dark North. Whoever gets their hands on her first, I will reward them with an inner core. Don’t say that I never give you guys any chances.”
As his voice faded…
The eyes from all the Elders seem to be glowing.
They almost couldn’t hold in their drool!
Inner cores!
They contained the purest form of immortal force. A typical inner core requires thousands to tens of thousands of years before an immortal beast could refine one. Its power was unmatched, and a single inner core could allow a martial artist to quickly make a breakthrough.
Ma Sheng started laughing out loud. His mouth unconsciously curved into an evil smile that disappeared in a flash, just the same as the Envoy previously.

The edge of the Dark North Sea.
Yang Lin said: “Brother Luo, these four people have followed me through thick and thin. They are guards that have encountered thousands of battles and each of them is at the peak of the Profound Ancestor realm. The most important part is that they are people who have cultivated water attributed martial skills. Within the Dark North Sea, they will definitely be able to help you out greatly.”
While saying that…
The four of them cupped their hands and one of them said: “My name is Wang Fu!”
