Chapter 2580 Late Night Operation

With the mark on it, there's no fear of the salmon escaping.

After that, the four of them went about their own business, quietly waiting for the right moment to act.

Less than half an hour later, Xu Jie was severely reprimanded by Old Huang.

"Are you ever going to stop? It's only been half an hour, and you've already asked me almost twenty times. I've already told you, it's still moving."

The main problem was Xu Jie, who would come up and ask questions every now and then. At first, things were fine; Old Huang patiently answered him and told him to calm down.

These ingredients can't be stolen.

But as the number of inquiries increased, Old Huang couldn't hold back any longer; he was furious.

This kid is never going to stop. He hasn't even finished his cup of tea yet, and he's already come up and asked me several more times.

Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he gave Xu Jie a severe scolding.

Despite being scolded by Old Huang, Xu Jie remained calm and unconcerned, instead grinning shamelessly.

"Hehe, I was just worried. Then you should rest, senior, and I won't disturb you any longer."

"You'd better not bother me again."

In response, Old Huang gritted his teeth and replied with a single sentence.

"Okay, definitely."

Xu Jie left with a grin, leaving only Old Huang behind, who felt something was off about the taste of his immortal tea.

And so it went until evening, when Old Huang finally confirmed that the "Sea God" must have returned home.

The marks left on those Celestial Spirit Clan children have remained in the same place for a long time without moving.

He immediately summoned Ye Changqing, Xu Jie, and Zhao Zhengping and explained what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie was the most excited.

"Finally home. I thought it was lost."

After waiting for so long, it's finally here. This food is absolutely awful.

Now that we've located the source of this ingredient, it's time to get started.

Based on what Ling Yunyi said earlier, this "Sea God" is not a single individual, but an entire race.

Not knowing the exact number, Ye Changqing decided to gather more people just in case.

However, the number of people cannot be too large, otherwise it will be easily detected by the Celestial Spirit Clan. Just select a group of strong elites.

After discussion, it was decided to include elders from the Tian family and the Witch God Palace.

As for the others, we should not tell them about this for the time being, so as not to give ourselves away.

Although it seems that the Celestial Spirit Clan did not set up any hidden sentries around the area in order to show their sincerity.

But we still need to be careful.

At that moment, Elder Huang contacted the elders of the Tian family and the Witch God Palace through special methods.

The total number of people was twenty-three, which was not many, but their strength was all above the Ancient Immortal Realm.

The group received a message from Elder Huang, informing them that Ye Changqing had discovered a supreme ingredient, even surpassing top-tier ingredients.

Everyone agreed to go and get the ingredients tonight without hesitation.

What's there to hesitate about? It's a top-quality ingredient! If we go along with it, wouldn't that mean we'd be the first to taste this delicacy?

Therefore, the elders nodded excitedly and said they would make sure to arrange everything so that the Celestial Spirit Clan wouldn't find out.

As night fell, at the agreed time for the operation, Old Huang made some arrangements and left four decoys in the courtyard.

They look just like real people, and have no problem communicating normally.

As long as you don't take action, you won't be exposed.

After doing all this, the four of them quietly left the courtyard.

With Elder Huang's protection, the four of them naturally faced no danger along the way.

They arrived at the edge of the forest, by the sea, and soon the twenty-three elders from the Heavenly Family and the Witch God Palace also arrived.

Upon meeting, everyone couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"Young Ye, what does this supreme ingredient taste like? Is it as delicious as the extraterrestrial demons?"

"Seniors, I've never eaten this before. This is the first time I've seen it."

If asked about the taste of this salmon "Sea God", Ye Changqing couldn't really describe it for a moment.

I've eaten it in my past life, but this is the first time I've seen it in this life. I don't know if there's any difference, but since it's rated as a supreme ingredient by the system, its taste must be above that of top-tier ingredients.

Hearing Ye Changqing say this, everyone became even more expectant.

It should taste even better than the ingredients from the extraterrestrial demons; this evaluation is quite high.

The group was complete, though not large; including Ye Changqing and his three companions, there were only twenty-seven people.

Led by Elder Huang, everyone cast spells and plunged into the sea.

Based on the location indicated by the seal, they headed towards the lair of the "Sea God".

They were unaware that Ye Changqing and his group had already quietly left.

Ling Yunyi was sitting at home, facing her father, when the old man casually asked her a question.

"How are things going with Ye Changqing?"

"It's not that easy, Grandpa. Who is this Young Master Ye?"

"Take it slow and don't be too hasty. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Sometimes being too enthusiastic is not good."

The old man had lived a long life, seen more things, and had dealt with humans many times.

Knowing how to get along with humans is the most appropriate approach.

If you make your intentions too obvious, it won't actually be helpful in your interactions with humans; in fact, it can easily backfire.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunyi nodded in agreement.

The grandfather and grandson then talked about the "Sea God".

The old man spoke slowly.

"The sacrificial ceremony went smoothly. After the Heavenly Pool is opened, a new batch of promising talents should emerge in the clan."

"Grandpa, about the Sea God, that matter..."

"This is not something you should be concerned about, and you should not mention it to outsiders, not even Ye Changqing. You must understand."

"Yes, Grandpa."

When the topic of Poseidon came up, both grandfather and grandson became much more cautious.

It's clear that in the hearts of the Celestial Spirit Clan, this so-called "Sea God" holds a very high position. Even when they discuss him behind his back, they are extremely cautious and dare not show the slightest disrespect.

Moreover, it seems that the Celestial Spirit Clan is secretly engaged in some kind of affair with these "Sea Gods".

However, this matter is unknown to ordinary members of the Celestial Spirit Clan and has not yet been made public; only a few high-ranking members of the Celestial Spirit Clan know about it.

Even Ling Yunyi couldn't casually mention this matter.

They valued the "Sea God" so highly, but little did they know that the "Sea God" the grandfather and grandson were talking about was facing a huge crisis.

A group of hungry people were quickly approaching the lair of the "Sea God" by following the marks.

After saying a few words, Ling Yunyi got up and left to return to her room, leaving the old man muttering to himself.

"The sea god's appetite is growing ever larger, and within the tribe..."

As he spoke, his expression was complicated, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Naturally, Ye Changqing and his group were unaware of this.

Xu Jie was getting anxious. Why hadn't they reached the "Sea God's" lair after so long? They had been swimming in the sea for almost an hour.
