A hoarse voice sounded from the water, and a huge shadow almost covered the entire water area.

As the river surged, a huge alligator turtle rose from the water.

The alligator snapping turtle is covered with scales, and the shell on its back looks like it is carrying a small mountain. The surging river water constantly turns into waves that hit the entire huge cruise ship.

Around the alligator turtle, more than a dozen patrolling river yakshas surrounded the cruise ship. Hundreds of little demons almost occupied the entire river. Their scarlet eyes flickered with ferocity and they were determined to devour anyone they could.

"How dare you kill my Jidu Dragon Palace patrolling river Yaksha? You are so brave!"

The alligator snapping turtle spoke in a loud voice, and the waves in the river followed his tone and continued to hit the entire cruise ship. The huge steel structure looked like a fragile toy in front of him.

The alligator snapping turtle's cultivation had surprisingly reached the initial stage of Qi training, which was enough to rank it among the mountain gods even in the Yunfu demon realm.

In addition to its cultivation level, this alligator turtle was also surrounded by the scent of incense, and it was actually a water deity being worshipped.

The captain quickly walked to the deck, knelt down and saluted the giant alligator turtle in front of him:

"This is a complete accident. Please forgive me, Water God."

"The boss of our Bi Bo Shipping has a close relationship with Young Master Qiu from the Sun family's side branch. If the Water God spares us, Bi Bo Shipping will definitely reward us handsomely!"

"Master Qiu? A branch of the Sun family? There must be a generous reward?"

The alligator snapping turtle's scarlet eyes rolled and it laughed wildly:

"Except for Sun Lanyu, the Sun family is just a bunch of idiots. How dare you use those little characters to threaten me?"

The huge turtle claws hit the water surface, and the already surging waves became even more violent, and it seemed that the entire cruise ship could be overturned at any time.

"Take out a thousand spirit stones, or your entire ship will be buried with my general!"

"One thousand spirit stones!!"

The captain turned pale with fright when he heard these words.

Even though the tide of spiritual energy is returning and intensifying, and more and more spiritual stone mines are being produced, one thousand spiritual stones is still an extremely terrifying number.

Even if the entire Bi Bo Shipping was sold, it would be impossible to raise a thousand spirit stones, let alone just to redeem the passengers on this ship.

"It's over. It's all over."

The captain slumped to the ground, his expression dazed.

The passengers on the boat who knew what the spirit stones represented were all filled with despair, but in the face of the huge pressure from the alligator snapping turtle they did not even have the courage to cry out.

The alligator snapping turtle looked at the scene in front of it and felt very satisfied.

In fact, the so-called burying everyone on the ship was just an excuse to scare these humans. The life of a mere patrolling Yaksha was not enough to bury everyone on the cruise ship.

After all, this is within the territory of Daxia. The Jidu Water Tribe collects protection fees from passing ships in Cangzhou with the tacit approval of the Daxia court.

But if they rashly carried out the killing, they would inevitably be targeted by the Imperial Observatory and the Zhennan Army.

There are nearly a thousand people on this cruise ship from all over Yunzhou. It is not as isolated as the Yunfu Demon Realm.

If the previous person here died, it would definitely be a major case that would shock the entire Daxia, and at that time it might even attract the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory to take action.

Even though he was a powerful demon who practiced Qi, he didn't want to get into such trouble.

He had only one purpose from beginning to end.

A ferocious smile appeared on the huge head covered with scales, and the alligator snapping turtle suddenly changed the subject and said:

"But it's not like you don't have a chance to survive."

The captain was shocked when he heard this and said quickly:

"You said, we will do it, we will do it!"

“Throw all your possessions into the river, and whoever holds anything back will be thrown overboard.”

When the captain heard that he could save his life, the only thing he would lose was some property, so it was not worth any hesitation.

"We must obey the orders of the water god."

"Wait, God has one more condition. It's not too late to decide after you listen to it." The alligator snapping turtle smiled maliciously:

"This god wants you to offer this man and woman who killed my river patrol Yaksha general as a sacrifice to the evil mountain river god."

As soon as these words came out, all eyes were immediately focused on Xuan Kong and Xuan Le. No one wanted to die, but sacrificing two people who were not important to them could save their lives, which was a good thing for everyone.

The petite Xuan Le stood up immediately, with unreserved aura of peak refining energy, and as he exerted force with his legs, cracks began to appear on the deck beneath his feet.

Such power is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to resist. Many people were frightened and quickly looked away.

The alligator turtle naturally would not let Xuan Le get his wish. It hummed softly, and the free Qi between heaven and earth silently suppressed the essence in Xuan Le's body.

The girl felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. Her knees softened and she fell to the ground.

The eyes of those around him that had originally retreated because of Xuan Le's display of strength suddenly became full of malice again.

Xuan Le felt the scrutinizing gazes around him and shouted loudly:

"What do you want to do?"

"Brother was seriously injured because of killing that Yaksha. If it weren't for you, we would have escaped long ago!"

Someone in the crowd spoke quietly:

"If we didn't kill the Yaksha, we would only lose some money. But it was you who killed the Yaksha that caused the water god to descend. This is all your fault."

"You are the ones who provoked the water god, so you should send him away."

"Since your senior brother has already saved us once, wouldn't it be better if he could save us again?"

Many people began to move slowly towards the front of the deck. Xuankong's eyes widened when he saw this. He tried to use his magic power to struggle to stand up, but suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The previous attack from the patrolling Yaksha had already seriously injured him, and he couldn't even use his magic power to protect Xuan Le.

On the top floor of the entire cruise ship, Shen Yuan watched everything helplessly.

Xue Mingzhi, who was standing by, looked embarrassed and whispered:

“The Imperial Observatory and the Sun family have an agreement that as long as we give up all our property, the aquatic creatures will never dare to kill everyone on the ship.

Their original intention was probably just to intimidate people, but they didn’t expect these people to actually believe it.”

Shen Yuan said calmly:

“It’s not that these people believed it, but that the alligator turtle has the ability to guide evil thoughts.

As long as external pressure and threats are used, people's evil thoughts can be constantly stimulated, making them likely to sacrifice others in exchange for survival.

For a water god, the benefits of guiding people to sacrifice two practitioners far outweigh the wealth on this cruise ship."

Ignoring Xue Mingzhi's surprised expression, Shen Yuan said indifferently:

"He has the power of evil thoughts to reach such a level. He must have harmed others long ago. Kill him!"

Before Xue Mingzhi could make any move, a beautiful and aloof figure appeared above the cruise ship. The Qi between heaven and earth continued to gather around her, almost manifesting itself as a substance to interfere with the world.

The alligator turtle hurriedly raised its head and looked at the beautiful figure. The undisguised aura of the peak of the Qi Refining Realm made the alligator turtle panic.

"Who are you?"

The next moment, the right hand that looked like it was carved from ice crystal slowly rose up and pressed down towards the void.

The gathered Qi of heaven and earth turned into an ice-blue palm in an instant. The giant hand that covered the sky and the sun fell down like a mountain.

Mysterious magical power: the great capture of innate energy.

The Evil Mountain Water God didn't even have time to react before he was completely frozen by the eternal ice. The surging waves were instantly frozen into exquisite ice sculptures, and the ice froze the entire river channel and spread hundreds of meters away.

Everyone stared blankly at everything in front of them, only Xuan Kong noticed a slight fluctuation of magic power and looked up at the sky.

On the top deck of the cruise ship, Gong Buyu looked indifferent, as if he had just casually killed an ant and it was nothing important.

Leng Ao's figure turned around and disappeared from Xuan Kong's sight.
