Chapter 4726: Not What Was Expected

Mo Lian instinctively put the Qiankun Cauldron into his inner world for now, then turned to look into the depths of the seabed abyss.

Below the layers of glaciers, within the swirling vortex of silver-white ice crystals, a head slowly emerged.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts pounding.

They had assumed this mature Saint Beast would be an ancient fierce creature, possessing a cavernous mouth and a body like bronze skin and iron bones, perhaps as mighty and towering as a small mountain.

But to their surprise.

What emerged from the ice crystal vortex was actually a human head.

This ancient fierce beast, which everyone had imagined, maintained a human form in its upper body. On its nearly ice-colored face, its eyes were slightly closed, and the color of its eyebrows and lips were all silvery-white.

Qiao Mu glanced and then averted her gaze, her attention falling on the Soul-Locking Arrow that was still bouncing and clanging, contained within the small bronze cauldron.

"Bang!" In just a moment, the Soul-Locking Arrow directly broke through the ordinary refining cauldron.

Mo Lian's brows furrowed slightly.

This ordinary small cauldron, which had been with him for a long time, was destroyed just like that by the Soul-Locking Arrow.

He extended two fingers and firmly pinched the Soul-Locking Arrow, which was still trying to dart forward, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

On the other side, Long Qian instinctively retreated, and upon touching Long Xiangyun's arm, she quickly grabbed her, whispering urgently, "Go, get up first, then talk."

Long Qian was certainly not foolish; she had already felt a heavy pressure emanating from the humanoid sea demon beast.

To what extent was this pressure powerful?

It could invisibly suffocate her.

Naturally, none of the many younger generation members of the Long family in the sea were a match for that sea demon beast.

The Forgetful River Long family still relied on these juniors to flourish, so of course, they couldn't all perish here.

Therefore, she was quite anxious, tugging at Long Xiangyun's hand, and urging her repeatedly in a low voice, "Go, go, let's retreat first."

Long Xiangyun, of course, also sensed the danger.

When Long Qian grabbed her arm, her reflexive reaction was to shake her off, as if stung by a venomous snake.

That instinctive action caused Long Qian's entire face to flush with embarrassment.

Her own granddaughter avoiding her like a plague; this made her uncomfortable, and a surge of anger also welled up in her chest.

The Forgetful River Long family was full of ingrates.

She truly hoped this sea demon beast could hear her thoughts and devour all these ingrates.

"Go," Long Hui shot over from the boiling seawater, grabbing his sister Long Xiangyun's arm.

Long Qian instinctively clutched Long Xiangyun's other arm tightly, refusing to let go, "Xiangyun, you know how Grandmother has treated you in the past."

She could currently only rely on the defensive barrier to resist the scalding seawater outside.

If Xiangyun didn't continue to imbue spiritual energy into the defensive barrier around her body, she would surely be scalded to death, leaving no bones behind.

Long Xiangyun closed her eyes, turning to pull her along to swim upwards.

Suddenly, panic-stricken cries from the younger Long family members echoed from all directions, "Ah, why is this seawater so scalding?"

"My heavens, this is too hot!"

Long Qian saw these hundreds of younger Long family members, her eyes instantly widened, and she couldn't help but roar at them, "What are you doing coming down here?"

Had the battle above ended?

It shouldn't have.
