Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan did not need the reminder from the old female rogue cultivator to understand the ferocity of the Wave-Riding Sea Serpent. Had it been only the two of them, it would have taken at least a full day to slay the beast.
After manifesting his Immortal Sword Domain, Chen Xuan began directing thousands of long swords, which darted like flying shuttles toward the serpent as it churned up massive waves in the sea. He turned to the old rogue cultivator and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you have been besieging this Wave-Riding Sea Serpent here, so why are those cultivators from the True Talisman Sect looking on coldly from nearby?"
"Fellow Daoist, there is much you do not know. We six have been tracking this serpent for half a month. Just as we were about to strike today, we discovered that those True Talisman Sect cultivators—members of the Seven-Star Palace’s righteous alliance—were also coveting the beast. They hide behind the name of righteousness and are unwilling to openly fight us for it, so they watch from the sidelines, hoping to reap the benefits once we have finished the hard work. They are quite calculating!"
