The two of them continued wandering through the night market, with Su Ji occasionally stopping to chat with a few stall owners and fish for information.
Gradually, he gained a clearer picture of the Chaotic Star Sea.
It was, indeed, chaotic.
No single faction had full control here—various powers were interwoven and locked in open and covert struggles.
And the strange phenomena of the Boundless Sea had turned this place into one giant gambling den.
Some struck it rich overnight; others ended up bones and ash within a single night.
“Senior Brother, where do we go next?”
Su Jiu, following behind Su Ji, asked in a low voice.
“Let's find a place to rest first.” Su Ji glanced at the sky. “Once the strange phenomenon appears, we'll make our plans then.”
The two were about to leave the night market when a commotion broke out ahead of them.
“Out of the way! Move aside!”
A rough voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
The crowd parted on its own, clearing a path.
Su Ji looked up and saw several cultivators clad in black, escorting a blood-soaked young man and a very young female cultivator through the crowd.
The young man looked barely past twenty, his face pale as death, wounds still seeping blood.
The female cultivator's face was streaked with tears.
“This is—”
But just then, the young man suddenly raised his head, and his gaze happened to lock with Su Ji's.
Those eyes were filled with utter despair…
Perhaps also a hint of pleading.
Su Ji's steps faltered for a moment.
He listened to the chatter around him.
“Isn't that the girl who was betrothed to the Zhou family?”
“Yeah, I heard she ran off with some nobody the day before the wedding. Can't believe they caught her in just five days.”
“So they're dragging her back for the wedding? I already chipped in for a gift.”
“What wedding? Five days may not be long, but they got up to plenty of tricks in that time. The Zhou family won't accept that kind of bride anymore.”
“Right. If she ran once, she'll run again. Bring her home, and who knows—they'd be wearing a green hat with grass growing on top.”
“Wait… why is everyone siding with the Zhou family? I heard those two were childhood sweethearts, and the Zhou family used their power to bully them.”
The black-robed cultivators, displeased by the murmurs, barked: “Move, move! Don't block the way. The young master already handed this girl over to us brothers for a little fun. We'll hoist her up on the sky lantern at dawn tomorrow—don't ruin our good time.”
“This is what happens when you offend the Zhou family.”
Su Ji looked at the young couple, then at the black-robed cultivators.
In the end, he simply shook his head, took Su Jiu by the arm, and turned away.
Su Jiu opened her mouth as if to speak, then held back.
“I know what you want to say.” Su Ji's voice was calm. “People die every day. We can't save them all.”
Su Jiu fell silent.
She knew her Senior Brother was right.
But something still sat uneasy in her heart.
A quick death was one thing—but this kind of humiliation…
…
Early the next morning.
Su Ji pushed open his door and found Su Jiu already waiting at the entrance.
“Senior Brother, where are we headed today?”
“Let's go take a look at the coast.”
The two left the inn and followed the town's main road eastward.
After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the view suddenly opened up.
An endless stretch of sea appeared before them.
The water was a deep azure, shimmering with ripples, glinting with specks of gold under the sunlight.
But beneath that seemingly calm surface, Su Ji sensed a faint, oppressive pressure.
“So this is the Boundless Sea?”
Su Jiu stood at the seaside, somewhat awe-struck by the scene before her eyes.
“Mm.”
Su Ji nodded. His gaze fell upon the faint, flickering points of light on the surface of the sea.
Those specks of light were like stars, or perhaps some kind of creature, drifting and swimming within the seawater.
“Senior Brother, what do you think those lights are?”
“I don’t know,” Su Ji shook his head. “But I have a feeling they’re connected to the strange phenomenon.”
Just then, ripples suddenly spread across the sea’s surface.
The next moment, a column of water shot straight up into the air!
“Boom!”
The water column burst apart mid-air, scattering into a mist of spray.
And within that mist, a massive dark silhouette could be faintly seen, flashing by and gone in an instant.
“That is…”
“A sea beast.”
No sooner had those words left his mouth than several more ripples spread across the sea.
One after another, columns of water erupted upward, accompanied by deep, rumbling roars.
In an instant, the entire sea surface churned violently.
“Let’s go!”
Su Ji grabbed Su Jiu and quickly backed away.
Almost the moment they retreated, a colossal dark shape leaped out of the sea and slammed heavily into the very spot where they had just been standing!
“Crash!”
The sand was blasted into a massive crater, sending rocks and debris flying.
Su Ji steadied himself and looked—it was a giant shark, fully ten zhang in length, covered in pitch-black scales, radiating a ferocious aura.
“A Nascent Soul stage sea beast!”
The giant shark thrashed across the beach a few times, then plunged headfirst back into the sea and vanished.
Su Ji stared at the now-again calm surface, his brows deeply furrowed.
“It seems this Chaotic Star Sea is far more dangerous than I imagined.”
