Meng Jun Qiao's face was dark with anger, she knew that with her own strength, she couldn't stop Gai Jianchan.

Inside the villa, Yushu and Shangguan Ling were present; regardless of who Gai Jianchan captured, it would leave Tang Rao helpless and in a dilemma.

Zeng Yan, damn it, what are you doing.

Why aren't you appearing?

"Gai Jianchan, think carefully about the consequences," Meng Jun Qiao gritted her teeth, her expression cold.

She was entrusted by Zeng Yan. She had no connection or relationship with Tang Rao. Whether Tang Rao's family was in danger, or whether Tang Rao himself would die, had nothing to do with her.

But this was a matter of dignity.

Gai Jianchan's actions at this moment had completely provoked the Meng Family.

"Miss Meng, please step aside." Gai Jianchan was prepared to deal with the Meng Family as he drew his sword.

Although the Meng Family was immensely powerful, vengeance could not be forsaken.

The vengeance for Sheng Tai, the vengeance for the Shie E Dao.

Intuition told Gai Jianchan that the disappearances of Sheng Tai and Shie E Dao may well be the doing of Tang Rao.

"Tell Tang Rao, I'll wait one day. If he doesn't show up by this time tomorrow, I'll start a killing spree," Gai Jianchan left these words behind before leaping into the villa.

"Damn it!" Meng Jun Qiao cursed out loud. How would I know how to contact Tang Rao? I don't even know where he went.

"Miss Meng, just go inside the villa. Do not let Gai Jianchan start a killing spree, I will notify Tang Rao," the voice of Zeng Yan reached Meng Jun Qiao's ears.

Meng Jun Qiao looked around and did not spot Zeng Yan; this coward, hiding who knows where.

Meng Jun Qiao clenched her teeth and flipped the bird with both middle fingers, then turned and entered the villa.

...

"Buzz!"

On the fishing boat, the satellite phone in Tang Rao's room suddenly rang.

Tang Rao, who was in the middle of cultivation, abruptly opened his eyes and looked at the satellite phone on the bedside.

Only one person knew the number, and that was Yan Wei.

He had told Yan Wei that unless it was something of extreme urgency, not to contact him.

"Hello..." Tang Rao took a deep breath and answered the satellite call.

"Tang Rao." The voice on the phone was not Yan Wei, but Zeng Yan.

"You have until this same time tomorrow to return to Sui City by any means necessary, or your mother's life will be in danger," Zeng Yan didn't bother explaining and went straight to the point.

Tang Rao's eyes narrowed sharply.

Clearly, the one who claimed to be the Sword Saint had arrived.

And he had even taken control of Yushu to threaten him.

"Bastard, is Meng Jun Qiao useless?!" Tang Rao couldn't hold back and cursed directly.

"You kid brought this on yourself. Shie E Dao is one thing, but why did you mess with Gu Sheng Tai!" Zeng Yan rolled his eyes as he spoke, his tone filled with helplessness.

Tang Rao fell silent as well.

"Remember, 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you can't make it back in time, or if you do make it back but are unable to deal with the situation, I can only stand by and watch. I've done my best for you," Zeng Yan said candidly.

"Got it," Tang Rao responded, then hung up the phone.

There was no way he could return to Sui City within a day by turning the fishing boat around.

He had to rely on the Abyssal Worm.

But the Abyssal Worm hadn't evolved yet and was still incapable of dealing with a Cultivator in the Fusion stage.

And he himself, was only at the initial stage of Enlightenment, with the first level of the Nine Deaths Undying Body still incomplete.

He might be able to handle someone in the late stages of Enlightenment, but a Fusion stage, that was pure fantasy.

On the deck, Tang Rao stood at the bow of the boat, facing the wind.

"Captain Wang, let's head back today," Tang Rao said to Wang Dachuan.

Wang Dachuan was slightly stunned. Is it over already?

"After you reach the dock, call the person who contacted you before, the remaining one million will be transferred to you," Tang Rao added.

"Okay... okay," Wang Dachuan nodded in agreement.

To everyone on the boat, Tang Rao was somewhat frightening, after all... he was too terrifying.

Taking down two great white sharks with his bare hands, he was not human.

"Xidi sister, call me when you're free." Tang Rao then looked towards Wang Xidi.

Wang Xidi was slightly stunned.

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Tang Rao leaped from the deck.

Everyone rushed to the side of the boat, looking towards the sea surface.

On the sea surface, Tang Rao was standing on a huge monster, with only its back visible above water.

Even so, one could tell how large it was.

It was over forty meters long, even bigger than a blue whale!

"It's... It's the same monster that attacked the humpback whales!" Suddenly, a crew member shouted.

Everyone fell silent.

Boom!

The Abyssal Worm writhed, causing crazy waves.

Then, it broke through the waves, its speed suddenly increasing, astonishingly fast.

And Tang Rao stood steadily on the back of the Abyssal Worm, looking so suave that Wang Xidi's heart raced wildly.

What kind of man is this...

...

"Faster, even faster!" Tang Rao kept urging the Abyssal Worm below him.

The Abyssal Worm was already trying its hardest, gliding through the waves at an incredible speed.

It took the fishing boat four days to get here, with an average speed of about twenty kilometers per hour. To rush back within a day, the Abyssal Worm's speed would need to reach at least eighty kilometers per hour.

While fully urging the Abyssal Worm, Tang Rao was also busy, taking out a spirit bone, tempering the first layer of his Nine Deaths Undying Body.

He still had ten million units of Spiritual Energy left. Tang Rao was unsure if he could complete the first layer, but there was only one way to find out.

If he could complete the first layer of Nine Deaths Undying, perhaps there was a glimmer of hope.

After all, Nine Deaths Undying Body was a Spiritual Technique known to surpass even the defense of the Dragon Clan. In the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, it was absolutely one of the topmost and most fearsome Spiritual Techniques.

As night approached, Tang Rao stood silently on the Abyssal Worm, his body emitting layers of Spiritual Energy.

Occasionally it would spread out, occasionally it would gather back.

With each release or retraction, Tang Rao's body would emit intense roaring sounds.

And with each roar, his flesh and blood would blur.

Of course, after the blurring, Tang Rao would use a solution of Dragon Blood Tree branches to recover.

Efficient and quick.

As time slowly passed, Tang Rao became more anxious. The ten million units of Spiritual Energy in his hands were all used up, but the first layer of Nine Deaths Undying Body was still incomplete.

The only consolation for Tang Rao was that his body could no longer absorb Spiritual Energy.

Meaning, the Spiritual Energy requirements for the first layer of Nine Deaths Undying were already saturated.

As for why it was not successful, it was still due to insufficient tempering.

There just wasn't enough time.

"Don't hold back, devour everything!" Tang Rao suddenly issued a command to the Abyssal Worm.

The Abyssal Worm let out a low groan and began to emit Soul Power.

Warm-blooded mammals in the surrounding sea were one by one drained of their flesh and blood by the Abyssal Worm and swallowed whole.

At this moment, Tang Rao could no longer worry about accumulating too many killings.

Either he had to make a breakthrough to the first layer of Nine Deaths Undying, or the Abyssal Worm had to advance; otherwise, he stood no chance.

Moreover, because the incident happened suddenly, he had made no arrangements.

Even if he wanted to resort to underhanded methods, he couldn't.

It seemed that he would only have to face it head-on.

...

In the early morning, the sun rose slowly, changing for no one and nothing.

The reddish sunlight spread through every corner of Sui City.

This modern city looked so beautiful and pretty under the red light.

"Five hours left." Gai Jianchan sat in the Purple Garden Villa, his tone neutral.

Next to him, Bai Yushu, Shangguan Ling, and Mrs. Chen were also seated, still shaken.
