Shang Lin's words weren't entirely false, but he slightly overlooked some important information, such as the fact that Xiao Bai was rescued by them, which is why the auction ended early.

So he nodded without any guilt, "Of course, my companion's life is still in your hands, how could I dare to lie? I've told you everything I know, please let him go."

The man subconsciously loosened his grip, his eyes initially filled with surprise at receiving the news, but this was quickly replaced by helplessness and heartache. After a long while, he murmured as if to himself, "But I can't live without the sea!"

Shang Lin was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

But after asking, he realized that the man in front of him was the real great demon. To have survived until now under the nose of the Heavenly Dao in the Dharma-ending Age, he must be under some kind of restriction.

For example, Hu Tangdi and Chi Xie were both sealed by magic arrays. The little snake was in a better position than them, but although he was not sealed, he lived a lowly life in the human world, often not even having enough to eat.

Sure enough, as soon as Shang Lin asked the question, the man subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, but said, "My daughter is very young and can't even take human form. She is kind-hearted, playful and cute, but now I don't know where she is suffering. In the end times of the human world, even great demons and powerful beings are not tolerated by heaven and earth. But if the heavenly way wants to destroy, it should destroy me. Why destroy my child?"

Looking at the powerful demon before him, so powerless even under the very nose of Heaven, Shang Lin felt a complex mix of emotions. "Why don't you release the person first, and I'll go back and help you find your daughter? What do you say?"

The man's gaze immediately fell on Shang Lin. The helpless and sorrowful emotion he had just felt vanished instantly, replaced by a fierce glint in his deep blue eyes. "Do you think I'd believe that?"

Shang Lin sighed helplessly, "This won't work, that won't work, so what do you want us to do?"

Although Red Scorpion was basically certain that the man in front of him who held his life in his hands was looking for Little White, he didn't understand why their helpful Sect Master wouldn't give it to him.

Sensing his father's presence, Xiao Bai became extremely restless in the Dragon Spirit Tower, and neither the God Lord nor She Jinxing could soothe him.

Because they were at sea, the Divine Lord did not rashly leave the tower, but immediately went to the third floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower to see the situation outside. Little White actually followed him directly.

This was the first time She Jinxing had ever realized that Xiaobai was so fast and as slippery as a fish. Before he knew it, it had gracefully slipped away from his original form!

She Jinxing quickly came to his senses and hurriedly followed. At this moment, Xiaobai had already tried to jump out of the window, but unfortunately, it failed. This was because its cultivation level was not high enough and because it was not Shang Lin's servant.

Instead, the Divine Lord swiftly grabbed Little White and scolded, "Do you even know what's going on outside? Why are you rushing out like that? And do you even think you can get out? Shang Lin's cultivation has leveled up; he's much stronger than the Qi Refining stage."

She Jinxing hurriedly asked, "Did the Divine Lord see anything?"

While comforting Xiaobai, the deity replied, "A great demon is currently holding Chixie hostage and confronting Shang Lin."

She Jinxing immediately transformed into human form. "I'll go out and take a look."

The Divine Lord grabbed She Jinxing's arm. "Stop! Your injuries haven't healed yet. Even Red Scorpion is being held hostage. How can you be stronger than him? Anyway, Shang Lin is fine. What's the rush?"
