Qin Feng stood still, pondered for a while, then sheathed the Five Elements Sword and continued forward.

It's strange, really. With so many ugly, strange fish living in this river, how do the other smaller fish manage to survive?

Logically speaking, large fish usually prey on small fish, and in such a harsh environment, these small fish should have become extinct long ago.

Despite his doubts, Qin Feng didn't dwell on it too much.

At this moment, all he wanted was to find that big golden fish as soon as possible.

After walking for about two more minutes, an enormous black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng's eyes.

He immediately stopped in his tracks, staring wide-eyed ahead. However, what he saw next left him speechless with astonishment.

The dark shape turned out to be a gigantic black fish, completely black and enormous, with a body length of at least one hundred meters.

What's even more shocking is that this black fish actually possesses the powerful cultivation of a peak Immortal Emperor.

Before Qin Feng could recover from his shock, the giant black fish suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a beam of black light shot out like lightning.

The black beam of light was so fast that it seemed to teleport, striking Qin Feng in the blink of an eye.

However, thanks to the protection of the Purple Star Immortal Robe, the black beam of light vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed, without even causing a ripple.

Upon seeing this, the giant black fish's enormous eyes were filled with horror, and it actually spoke in human language: "This... how is this possible?"

When Qin Feng heard the big black fish speak, his eyes immediately lit up: "You can actually speak human language?"

"Hey, big black fish, if you don't want to die, answer a few questions honestly!"

Upon hearing this, the big black fish's gaze turned serious. It stared directly at Qin Feng and said coldly, "You little reptile, do you think I used all my strength in that attack just now?"

"I'm telling you, I only used 20% of my power!"

"If I use all my strength, I can definitely kill you."

Qin Feng curled his lip and beckoned to the giant black fish with a disdainful look. "Fine, then use all your strength to attack me now!"

"If you can harm a single hair on my head, I'll let you do whatever you want with me!"

"But if you can't even hurt a hair on my head, then you'd better answer a few questions honestly."

The big black fish snorted coldly and said, "Arrogant reptile, you will pay a heavy price for your arrogance."

As soon as the words were spoken, the giant black fish opened its massive maw once more, and an even more powerful beam of black light shot out from its mouth.

This black beam of light was like a force of nature, tearing apart space wherever it passed, as if the entire world was about to be destroyed by this terrifying energy.

However, when the black beam of light struck Qin Feng, it was as if it had sunk into the sea without causing a ripple.

Qin Feng remained standing there steadily, without even the hem of his clothes fluttering.

The giant black fish stared wide-eyed at Qin Feng in disbelief. "This...how is this possible?"

"I've used all my strength, yet I still can't hurt you in the slightest!" The big black fish's voice was filled with shock and confusion.

It simply couldn't understand why its powerful attacks were completely ineffective against Qin Feng.

"Do you possess some extremely powerful defensive treasure?" The big black fish looked at Qin Feng with suspicion, trying to find the answer.

Faced with the giant black fish's question, Qin Feng did not respond. He simply looked calmly at the fish, then slowly asked, "Do you now choose death, or do you choose to honestly answer a few questions for me?"

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the big black fish fell silent.

It seemed to be thinking about something, its eyes flashing with a complex light.

Time ticked by, and Qin Feng's patience gradually wore thin. Finally, the big black fish broke the silence, saying, "Ask whatever you want!"

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you!" Qin Feng glanced at the big black fish, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and contempt.

Then, in a calm tone, he asked, "Why did you attack me?"

The big black fish seemed hesitant, but finally spoke up: "It was the Golden Dragonfish King who told me to do this!"

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, a look of doubt appearing on his face, and asked, "Golden Dragon Fish King? Is it that big golden fish?"

The big black fish nodded and replied, "That's right, it's the Golden Dragonfish King that you fought fiercely with on land before!"

Qin Feng frowned, his expression turning grim and uncertain.

He couldn't understand why the Golden Dragon Fish King would do something so incomprehensible when it had already submitted to him.

The Golden Dragonfish King clearly knew how powerful it was, yet it sent the giant blackfish to its death in vain.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely that the group of ugly fish that attacked him earlier were also acting under the orders of the Golden Dragonfish King.

So, what exactly is the purpose of the Golden Dragon Fish King doing this?

Qin Feng shook his head, deciding not to delve any deeper into the question. He turned his gaze to the large black fish and asked again, "Where is the Golden Dragon Fish King now?"

The big black fish thought for a moment and replied, "It should be in the Dragon Palace."

"Dragon Palace?" Qin Feng blinked. Dragon Palace? Could it be that there are dragons in this river?

The giant black fish seemed to sense Qin Feng's confusion and offered an explanation. "We don't have any dragons here. The Golden Dragon Fish King has some dragon blood, so his residence is named after the character 'dragon'."

"Oh!" Qin Feng nodded in realization, then said, "Take me to the Dragon Palace!"

The big black fish hesitated for a moment, then said timidly, "Can I refuse?"

"If I take you to the Dragon Palace, the Golden Dragon Fish King will definitely not let me off the hook!"

Qin Feng said with a half-smile, "If you don't take me with you, I'll kill you right now!"

The giant black fish was enraged. "Don't push your luck!"

"If you push me too far, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well self-destruct and take you down with me!"

Qin Feng chuckled. "Fine, try self-destructing then. I want to see if your self-destruction can hurt me!"

"You...you..." The big black fish was furious, its huge eyes seeming to bulge out.

Qin Feng curled his lip. "If you don't have the strength, don't talk tough!"

"Don't worry, take me to the Dragon Palace. If the Golden Dragon Fish King tries to harm you, I will protect you!"

The big black fish stared at Qin Feng for a while, then said coldly, "I don't trust you!"

Qin Feng sneered. "Do you have a choice?"

The giant black fish fell silent. It was certain that Qin Feng could kill it easily, so it had no choice at all.

In the end, the giant black fish relented and led Qin Feng to the Dragon Palace.
