Chapter 900: Blood Sea
Suddenly being targeted by thieves, there is no way the Tan Family didn’t notice it. It’s just that they didn’t care. The three brothers selling some seafood before were actually chasing after them. Their intentions were well reasonable. They wanted to take down the robbers before they could even touch their group of four. Actually, the three brother sellers hesitated in following them. Their cultivation was masked by an artifact from their Mistress and the Immortal Sun Emperor, and can be said that others can hardly see through their strength. However, these three brothers still choose to escort them, only because they were the only group that is willing to buy the things they had caught. Only for this reason alone that the three brothers had come to this and planned to save them.
With fewer people in the vicinity, the Tan Family of four was finally surrounded by a group. These cultivators and thieves were stopped and blocked by them.
"Stop for a moment!"
"Rich people! You need to give us everything you have with you!"
"Everything including what is inside your storage device!"
Tan Bingyu and the rest of the family members were stunned speechless not because they were being surrounded by the thieves but by how stupid these people are acting about. On the other hand, these thieves thought that they were terrified. After all, they weren’t the only people they had done this to before. Moreover, these thieves only pick on those without guards to protect them and have money to spend on unique things in the market. It can be said that this is all because of the sea monster’s meat they had just bought. After all, except for them no one would have bought something like kraken tentacles.
Once the three brothers who sold the sea monster saw what was happening, they jumped into the group and stood before the Tan Family holding on to their weapons while glaring at the group of thieves.
"What the hell are you doing? Stealing under the broadlight, don’t you people feel embarassed!?"
"Brother, there is no need to say too much! Just beat them all out!"
"Second brother, I will fight with you!"
In the end, the three brothers had easily defeated these thieves before anything else had happened. It didn’t last long as the power of these three brothers was beyond normal. It seems that catching mutated beasts from the blood sea had greatly increased the fighting abilities of these three brothers. After the thieves were all defeated, the three brothers finally had the time to approach the group of four asking about their situation and state worriedly.
"Are you guys alright? These thieves were usually hidden at the marketplace, only blending in the crowd and stealing things in the area. They had never done this before," said the youngest among the three brothers.
Tan Shengyu had spoken, "This... Thank you. But... you have chased after us and helped up against these thieves all because we bought your products?"
"Hm. Actually, you people were our first customers. No one actually brought our items as they were from the Blood Sea." The eldest among the three brothers had spoken.
Xue Renxue looked confused and asked, "Blood Sea? What place is that? Wait, did you just say that no one had bought your things before? Are those things we had bought from your brothers... Is it not edible?"
Just this one question was enough for Tan Shengyu to give the back of Xue Renxue’s head a smack. They had eaten a lot of that grilled octopus before. If that thing wasn’t edible then they would have collapsed by now. The three brothers panicky explained and told the Tan family about the current situation.
"That is not it! That octopus can be eaten. We three brothers only sold something that can be eaten and something we had eaten ourselves!" The eldest among the three brothers said.
Another one had said, "Moreover, the name blood sea sounds dangerous, it is still a sea. Most of the things in the sea can be eaten."
"Moreover, based on your reaction, clearly you recognized those things we had sold to you. Have you eaten them somewhere before?"
The family of four remember some similar looking ingredients from the small world, Moon Star formerly known as the Exiled Star and these things that seem to have mutated and grown a lot in size yet with better taste and greater energy within its flesh.
Xue Shuyi said, "Indeed they look similar and the taste is also the same. The only difference is its size though."
"The ones we are used to would not grow as big as the kraken you had sold. But only the size is different..." Tan Bingyu said. "Anyway thank you for saving us!"
"You are our customers! It is only right that we protect you!"
"Moreover, you had also made a promise before. That you would do our things again in the future," said one of the three brothers.
The eldest among the brothers spoke up and said, "There is no need for thanks. We had chosen to do this ourselves. You should go back now. We will handle the cleaning of these people."
"Then thank you once again. We will see you again three days from now until then!" Tan Shenyu said as they used the teleportation talisman that their mistress had given them to.
After tearing the teleportation talisman, the group of four had disappeared on the spot leaving the three dark skinned men dumbfounded by the scene. The brothers looked at each other and at the area where the Tan Family had disappeared from.
"What happened!? They disappeared on the spot!"
"They tore someone and disappeared?"
"It must be a teleportation talisman. This thing is extremely expensive. As expected, they are wealthy, no wonder they were targeted by these people!"
"Brother what should be done next?"
"Clean up the place so we can go home right away!"
"Okay, brother!"

On the other hand, the Tan Family made up of Tan Shengyu, Tan Bingyu, Xue Shuyi and Xue Renxue were directly teleported in the small palace on floating island no. 1. The reason for this is simple, the teleportation talisman they had used is connected to the aura of the Goddess of the Moon and within the ten meters around Yue Xuexia anyone who had used the talisman would be directly teleported to where she is. When they arrived, Yue Xuexia was in the living room napping while leaning on the lap of Shen Jueyang.
Shen Jueyang was quietly watching the Goddess of the Moon in her sleep while Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi were also not that far from them. The older couple were meditating while waiting for them to return. The whole place was organized by them while their masters were resting. So when the four of them had returned, the empty kitchen could now be filled up with the things they had bought from the market.
Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue remained in the living room and left the things they bought to the adults to handle. After the two elder couples head to the kitchen, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue join their master to sit in the opposite area.
The Immortal Sun Emperor immediately realized that something had happened to them. It was unknown how he had noticed it but still Shen Jueyang asked them.
"Something happened?" He asked.
Xue Renxue responded, "We just met three strange brothers and were stopped by some thieves on our way back?"
His explanation is as simple as always and the Immortal Sun Emperor chooses not to listen to him. Instead, Shen Jueyang waited for Tan Bingyu to explain it properly in detail.
"At the wet marketplace, we met three dark skinned brothers selling creatures that looked like mutated seafood and bought some. While stocking up things we had gotten the attention of some thieves and were tailed on our way back. These people were beaten up by those brothers saying that they only came over to protect us. Their sea creatures or those items they were selling was something from a place called Blood sea. Had Lord Shen known about this Blood Sea?" Tan Bingyu asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor responded, "Yes. It’s one of the forbidden zones in the Inner Haven. It is also the territory of the Blood Demon Emperor."
"Blood Demon Emperor?" Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue asked.
Shen Jueyang said, "No worries. That one is asleep all day and rarely comes out of the sea. Those three brothers you are talking about might be from a race called Blood Demons. They are not humans yet not bad beings at the same time. Moreover, things from the Blood Sea are delicious and filled with energy that is greater than the energy a spirit beast has. If you bought a lot then you got a bargain."
Obviously, the Immortal Sun Emperor knows something about the Blood Sea and even knows the master of that territory. It was unknown if the relationship between the Immortal Sun Emperor and the Immortal Blood Demon Emperor is truly good though.
