The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

After saying this, Jiang Lai'er suddenly realized something. She tilted her head, her eyes passing Xiao Jianxin, and looked at Dong'er behind him, asking, "You don't look very well. Do you need me to take a look at you?"

"Ah?" Dong'er came back to her senses immediately and waved her hands in a panic, "No! No need!"

"I was just too engrossed in my thoughts. It's okay, it's okay..."

Since Dong'er said so, Jiang Laier simply ignored it.

He picked up the bamboo basket and walked into the house.

Xiao Jianxin scratched his head in confusion, then turned back to look at Dong'er. "This miracle doctor is incredibly skilled and compassionate. If you feel unwell, don't force yourself!"

"It's really okay."

Dong'er's smile looked a little forced.

Xiao Jianxin could naturally sense something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it.

After all, we have been together for some time.

Xiao Jianxin could see that Dong'er was a kind-hearted person. Although she was sometimes clumsy and caused him a lot of trouble, her merits outweighed her flaws. Overall, she was still okay.

"I've finally been waiting for this day."

Xiao Jianxin suddenly sighed, "Those creatures buried beneath the sea have finally seen the light of day. Come to think of it, someone also sacrificed their lives guarding the fragment of the Demon Eye not long ago..."

"Dong'er, Dong'er?"

"exist!"

Dong'er answered loudly.

But somehow, the bloody and cruel scene of that night flashed through Dong'er's mind. Recalling her bloody hands, her pupils shrank slightly and she lowered her head silently.

Xiao Jianxin saw Dong'er's abnormal behavior today, and his doubts grew even stronger.

I don't know what happened to Dong'er.

"Aunt Dong'er...Oh no! Dong'er, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Xiao Jianxin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He was still a little uncomfortable calling a woman by her name.

"Master Xiao, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Leaving now?"

Xiao Jianxin looked stunned.

As expected, calling someone by their name is very impolite.

"Yeah, I just remembered it. Goodbye, Hero Xiao."

After leaving this sentence, Dong'er left in a hurry.

But just as they passed by each other.

Xiao Jianxin saw the sadness and tears hidden in the corners of the girl's eyes.

This is...what happened?

Looking at Dong'er's gradually receding back, Xiao Jianxin crossed one hand over his chest, put the other hand on his chin, his brows twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, and fell into some deep thought.

Did he do something wrong again?

Dong'er deliberately took a detour, passed through the emerald green bamboo forest, and came to the coast where Xiao Jianxin had previously encountered her. But this time, Dong'er was careful and did not blow the conch.

Instead, he used his eyes to observe his surroundings in secret.

After making sure that no one was following her, she dived into the sea.

The moment she entered the water, some changes occurred in Dong'er's body. Silver-gray fish scales grew on the skin on both sides of her cheeks and arms, and her pupils turned into vertical pupils.

Swimming away at a speed that is difficult for the naked eye to capture...

After the last piece of the Demon-Slaying Eye fragment was found.

Hai Nianxiang immediately informed Ji Cang, who was thousands of miles away in the chaotic sea, of the good news through the "Spiritual Interaction Jade".

As for the ancestor of the sea clan, he burned incense in the ancestral temple to let several people who had not yet had their names engraved on their "god tablets" know that the last piece of the magic eye fragment had been found.

These old monsters spend “years” in seclusion at a time.

Some people whose life span is almost over are afraid that this retreat will be their last, so they prepare their own "spiritual tablets" early and leave a wisp of their soul attached to them.

If one day, words appear on the "God's tablet" on their own.

That proves that this person has returned to heaven and is among the immortals.

In the past five days, most of the people who went out to look for the fragments of the Demon Eye have returned.

But not everything goes as planned.

During this period, the sea clan ancestor who had lived for more than 800 years and entered the anode heaven realm on the other side left the team and searched for an opportunity to break through alone. But when the descendants of the sea clan burned incense and prepared to tell him the good news that the magic eye had been found, they found that the ancestor's name had appeared on the tablet of his shrine at some point.

As for the great supernatural power Hai Zong, who had previously been in direct conflict with Gu Junming, he had not received a reply for a long time due to other reasons. He was suspected to have disappeared, or had followed the ancestor of the Yangjitian realm.

The sea, which is full of mysteries and opportunities, is actually an abyss that eats people without leaving any bones behind!

Rather than saying it's his own fault, it's better to say...

It is the last choice made by an elderly person in his twilight years.

"It's all together."

In the bustling teahouse.

Ye Yongzhen looked up at Gu Junming, who was leisurely sipping tea across from him, and asked calmly, "What's next? How do we repair the Sea-Suppressing Demon Eye? And after it's repaired, how do we make the sea recede?"

"The tricks involved are far more complicated than just searching!"

Ye Yongzhen had actually wanted to say this a long time ago.

But I was afraid that telling him would dampen Gu Junming's enthusiasm, so I waited until now.

“There are always more solutions than problems. You have to try to know if you can succeed.”

Gu Junming replied after careful consideration: "The main formation pattern on the Demon Eye has not suffered too much damage, it is just split into three. With the technology of the future, it should not be a problem to repair it."

"The difficulty lies in how to return the Demon Eye to its original location. Once it's in place, how to connect it to the formation that maintains the triple barrier of the Boundary Sea, perfecting and balancing the seawater."

“Well… maybe, it’s not that complicated after all.

"The barrier has existed since ancient times."

As he spoke, Gu Junming suddenly laughed and said, "We can't even imagine the wisdom of the ancients. Perhaps they had anticipated this long ago, so the large formation under the barrier is constructed using multiple small formations. Otherwise, if all were destroyed, those sea monsters would have succeeded long ago!"

"That makes sense."

Ye Yongzhen nodded. Things had come to this point. Saying too much discouraging words would only affect his mentality.

It’s better to think about where to make the next move.

"First, try to repair the Sea-Suppressing Demon Eye and return it to its original place."

Gu Junming pondered and said, "Maybe if I put the object back to its original position, the formation will automatically activate and the sea water will recede."

"After all, the ocean is so vast. It's impossible to suppress it with just one Sea-Suppressing Magic Eye. There must be multiple Sea-Suppressing Magic Eyes scattered across the seabed, connected to the formation beneath the barrier, each exerting its own power to keep the ocean water balanced and stable!"

"However, compared to the barrier, the sea water may not be that important. It just so happens that the one that was destroyed was the largest and most critical one in the Sea-Suppressing Demon Eye."

"You also said that today's Beixuan is the real Beixuan of the ancient times. The reason why they balanced the sea water is probably because the ancients wanted to leave more land for us to live on."

Gu Junming analyzed them one by one: "Otherwise, with the Demon Eye's unheard-of material, if it weren't for those two pieces of flying iron, I really can't think of anything else in this world that can shatter the Demon Eye."

At this point, Gu Junming asked, "Have you figured out what that is?"

"I asked Qingxuan about it afterwards."

Ye Yongzhen sighed softly, his voice revealing a hint of frustration:

"Two damaged pieces of immortal treasure that have lost their original essence."
