This Demonic Beast with black fur covering its face felt infuriated when it saw Wang Hong returning to wreak havoc upon its cave mansion once again.

The last time, it had been plundered of everything, and even its meticulously crafted altar was destroyed.

Over the years, it had labored tirelessly, rebuilding the altar from scratch and accumulating a meager fortune. Just when it was hoping for a moment's respite, this intruder had come to plunder for the second time.

Couldn't you target someone else? There are several other cave mansions that have never been touched. It's not about scarcity, it's about fairness.

While this Demonic Beast cursed inwardly, it roared loudly at Wang Hong, "Attack! Today, I will tear you into a thousand pieces!"

With its deafening roar, all the Demonic Beasts in this Spiritual Site rushed out, heading towards Wang Hong.

Seeing this, the black-furred Demonic Beast nodded in satisfaction, then transformed into a rainbow light and fled.

Wang Hong had thought this foe was about to engage in a fierce battle, but it had fled at the first opportunity.

Oh well, he wasn't inclined to chase it. Pursuing an opponent who fled at the first sight was a waste of time. He might as well use this time to plunder a few more cave mansions.

Once again, he released a swarm of Poisonous Bees to deal with the approaching Demonic Beasts and entered the Treasure Vault.

The contents of this Treasure Vault seemed less lavish than the last time he had visited. It seemed that frequent raids were not a good idea. Next time, he would target an untouched mansion.

Hastily taking all the valuable items, he moved on to the cave mansion of a four-tier Demonic Beast. Once again, he looted it and destroyed the altar, which had been rebuilt in the same exact shape as before.

He took the materials and a High-grade Spirit Stone before leaving. When he exited the cave mansion, he saw the corpses of Demonic Beasts scattered all around.

Some had died from poison, while others had been bitten to death by Poisonous Bees. The poisoned ones were inedible, but he could feed them to the demon-hunting tree.

Collecting all the Demonic Beast corpses, he left the Spiritual Site.

Next, he took a wide detour to the eastern side of East Zhou, which was the territory of the Eastern Sea Demon Clan. He hadn't raided them before, so it was time to change that.

He wanted to avoid the Western Demon Tribe feeling unfairly targeted all the time.

After two days of travel, Wang Hong arrived at a lake.

This place used to be an Immortal Cultivator City, but after the Eastern Sea Demon Clan took over, it was transformed to better suit their cultivation environment.

Only the central part of the lake still had a piece of land, used by some Demonic Beasts to sunbathe.

Wang Hong scanned the area and then plunged into the lake.

He also possessed Water Spiritual Roots, allowing him to swiftly move underwater using water manipulation techniques.

In his Divine Sense, he detected an Underwater Palace ahead, constructed entirely from massive stones. Numerous Fish Demons were patrolling the exterior.

Even before he approached, some Fish Demons, sensing danger, rushed toward him.

Without hesitation, Wang Hong summoned his Flying Sword, swiftly killing these Demonic Beasts and collecting their corpses.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my cave mansion, killing my demon soldiers!" shouted a Demonic Beast with a fish head and a humanoid body, wielding a trident as it charged out of the palace.

Simultaneously, a Water Dragon took form beside it, its eyes wide open and menacing, lunging toward Wang Hong with gnashing teeth and clawed limbs.

Water Element techniques were twice as powerful when used underwater.

The Demonic Beast, armed with its trident, followed closely behind the Water Dragon, charging towards Wang Hong with a ferocious expression, as if it intended to swallow him whole.

The Demonic Beast and the Water Dragon swiftly closed the distance with Wang Hong, approaching to within a hundred yards.

In Wang Hong's Divine Sense, an invisible Divine Sense needle rapidly took form and shot into the Demonic Beast's skull in an instant.

The Divine Sense needle was incredibly fast, leaving no trace, catching the Demonic Beast off guard.

As the Demonic Beast charged forward, it suddenly felt a severe impact within its head, as if a copper needle had pierced through it, followed by a chaotic disturbance.

The intense pain in its head left it momentarily stupefied, its eyes vacant. The Water Dragon beside it also lost its vitality in an instant, on the verge of dissipating.

During the Demonic Beast's momentary lapse, a crimson Flying Sword cleaved through its head.

The fish-headed Demonic Beast's body was instantly severed in two, and the corpse gradually transformed into a black fish. However, unlike typical fish species, this black fish had four stout legs.

At this moment, a bright black demon core flew out from the fish's body. Just as it was about to teleport away, a large net descended upon it, capturing the demon core.

The Demonic Beast couldn't help but feel despondent. It had only experienced a sudden, excruciating pain in its head. When it regained its senses, it realized its head had been separated from its body. Before it could attempt to teleport away, it was ensnared by a large net.

Using magical arts, Wang Hong retrieved the demon core and performed a few techniques, causing a purple light to emanate from his palm.

Guided by this purple light, a shadowy figure of a black fish emerged from the demon core. This was the Nascent Soul of the Demonic Beast.

Wang Hong took out a specially crafted bottle and sealed the Demonic Beast's Nascent Soul inside.

These Demonic Beast Nascent Souls could fetch a good price in the Black Market of Fengwu Continent. Even if he didn't sell them, they had various uses. They could be refined into certain high-tier puppets to enhance their sentience or be used when refining magic weapons, with a chance to cultivate them into spirit entities.

Magic weapons possessing spirit entities were known as Spirit Treasures. They were more potent than regular magic weapons and could be controlled independently, making them formidable in combat.

After securing the Nascent Soul and demon core, Wang Hong walked confidently toward the palace ahead. The remaining Demonic Beasts, witnessing the death of the black fish, were devoid of fighting spirit and scattered in fear.

After chasing down the fleeing Demonic Beasts for a while, he collected numerous Demonic Beast corpses and then proceeded to explore the massive stone palace.

This Spiritual Site, untouched by raiders until now, was indeed rich in treasures, and his harvest was bountiful as he continued his search.

What set this place apart was the abundance of rare materials, many of which could only be found underwater, and some were even exclusive to the Eastern Sea.

Among the spiritual objects, Wang Hong discovered a significant number of aquatic spiritual herbs, which were seldom found elsewhere. He transplanted these aquatic spiritual herbs into the Lotus Pond within his space.

The three-tier Ink Jade Spirit Lotus, which had been planted in the Space Lotus Pond, had been used as ingredients for various dishes over the past few decades. Dishes like stir-fried lotus root, cold-tossed lotus shoots, lotus root and Demonic Beast bone soup, lotus seed porridge, steamed rice noodle with lotus leaf and meat, and lotus flower spirit wine were all on the menu.

Now, planting some additional spiritual herbs in the Lotus Pond didn't seem to affect the existing cultivation much.

After scouring these structures, Wang Hong finally entered the Fish Demon's cave mansion, which was filled with a plethora of riches and also featured an altar.
