C214 Into the Sea
"Sorry, it's too late."
Xu Yang, who was on the deck, pulled crazily. Ignoring the shouts from the people on the shore, he told the top passenger ship to quickly leave this place full of schemes.
"There must be something wrong with the ship. Release the arrows!"
In that instant, countless ice arrows imbued with an aura of ice attribute shot out from the hands of the guards, aiming straight at the orange ship.
Xu Yang was the first to arrive in front of Female Emperor. His eyes burst with a bright Tai Chi Totem and in a short amount of time, it enlarged rapidly, covering more than half of the surrounding hull.
"Hehe, watch me!"
At this moment, the little snake dived into the water, its body quickly expanded to a dozen meters, and with a few earth-shattering swings of its tail, a terrifying wave rose up into the air. The strong rebound force pushed the ship several times its normal tempo as it left the water's edge.
"Dammit! Take a few more ships and chase them!"
Obviously, City Lord's Mansion did not intend to let Xu Yang and the others off that easily, but since the ship had already been set off, there was no hope of them chasing it again. Furthermore, there was only a top tier passenger ship on the entire shore, so the other power sources were not comparable to it.
The battle on the deck soon attracted the attention of the eight guests with orange sea orders. They quickly arrived at the wide deck and three of them recognized Xu Yang and Female Emperor.
"Heh, who am I? It turned out to be Your Excellency Xu Yang, whose name is famous throughout the world in Thousand Cloud Sect, and Female Emperor, whose name is Cold Moon Empire! I didn't expect the two of you to travel together. Interesting. "
This person was dressed in the robes of Xuanyuan Empire, but Female Emperor couldn't tell who he was from his face.
"Who are you?"
Xu Yang asked calmly.
"Xuanyuan Empire's Carefree King — Xuanyuan Hong."
Female Emperor's mind went blank, as if she had instinctively become more prepared.
In truth, this Xuanyuan Hong was the youngest brother of the Xuanyuan Empire's emperor, and he was a proper prince. However, this fellow was not greedy for the throne and was obsessed with cultivation and cultivation.
The reason why Female Emperor was so afraid was because it was rumored that this person was extremely adept in the use of poison, and was an opponent that couldn't be underestimated.
"Xuanyuan Empire allied with the North Jin Alliance and targeted Thousand Cloud Sect and the underlings of the various factions. You should know about this, right?"
In the face of Female Emperor's question, Xuanyuan Hong didn't conceal anything and nodded his head happily.
"Of course I know. I can only say that my silly brother is overestimating himself and even dares to offend people like Female Emperor and Your Excellency Xu Yang. I'll apologize for you guys by staying here." Since we've bumped into each other, everyone must be rushing towards the Taotie. Let me introduce these seven people to the two of you, they are my companions. "
Xu Yang couldn't help but become alert instinctively after hearing that.
"May I ask esteemed sir, that Taotie is an abnormally powerful Great Desolate Spirit Seed, why are you looking for it?"
"Hahaha, of course it's to get its core! The Great Desolate Spirit Seed is even more precious than those beasts of antiquity. If we can really subdue it and obtain its core, then we might be blessed by the heavens! "
Xuanyuan Hong did not hide anything but the auras of the people around him were very solid. With a glance, one could tell that they were no good men or women. It would be fine if this person did not have any ideas, but if he really had any ideas about Xu Yang and Female Emperor, then it would be hard to deal with him, especially in a place like the East China Sea.
Soon, four hours had passed and the ship had completely left the harbor, entering the vast ocean. It was also because of this that the surrounding sea breeze gradually became colder. From time to time, powerful deep sea beasts would jump out of the water, releasing extremely powerful auras.
After leaving the harbor for a period of time, Xu Yang and the others felt that the forbidden spirit seal within their body had almost melted, and their strength had also recovered by more than half. However, if they were to leave the ship and fly in the sky above the vast ocean, they would probably be targeted by these powerful sea beasts very soon.
There were a total of ten independent rooms in the cabin, but the interior was very small and it was surrounded by Xuanyuan Hong's men. Thus, Xu Yang and Female Emperor instinctively decided to cultivate on the deck.
In the dead of night, the wind at the sea had become colder. Female Emperor's face was pale, and she was not in her best condition during the process of operating her Qi. Xu Yang knew that this was one of the side effects of her Cold Moon Art. In this kind of cold environment, the Body Pulse would be hit and injured even more seriously.
Xu Yang shook his head gently and formed a spell sign with his hand. A warm golden domain enveloped Female Emperor's body. Soon, most of the coldness in her body was gone.
Female Emperor didn't look directly at Xu Yang, but she had already sensed Xu Yang's presence the moment he reacted. She had only silently remembered this favor in her heart.1
Along the way, Female Emperor had never thought that she and Xu Yang would just begin to be bound by a bond that was difficult to part with.
"You two, the sea is too cold. Would you like to come in and ask for a drink?"
"Many thanks to the Carefree King for his good intentions, there's no need."
Female Emperor directly refused. However, this time, Xu Yang did not refuse. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked at Xue Qinghan with concern.
"Your highness, the Carefree King, is full of intentions. I think I'll have to give you face, not to mention that this Sea Breeze is biting cold. It won't do you any good in your cultivation. Why don't you take shelter for now?"
Female Emperor looked Xu Yang in the eye. It seemed like she saw some other meaning in his eyes, so she just obeyed him once.
The second floor's inner room had been occupied by Xuanyuan Hong's men the entire time. It was unknown if it was due to his instructions, but the entire second floor's meat and wine area had become much quieter now. The rest of the people had returned to their own rooms to rest.
"Come, come, come, have a taste of my wine. A girl of over a hundred years, I would not even be willing to take it out for an ordinary person!"
Xu Yang was more respectful than willing to obey. He looked at the other party with a smile, "From what you've said, you've been in Sanshui City for some time now?"
"City Lord's Mansion has shares in our Xuanyuan Empire and I also have my own businesses in the city. Of course I can come whenever I want! However, this is the first time I have gone out to sea to search for Taotie, and it's also because the commotion caused by my Thousand Cloud Sect was too great this time, allowing me to obtain news on Taotie. To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about the Great Desolate Spirit Seed for a long time.
Female Emperor could not help but taunt: "How strong is that Taotie? How could it be as easy as you say it is?"
Taba Hong laughed out loud, "As far as I know, there are no less than 800 people at or above the Heavenly Passage Realm who left the sea from the port in half a month. However, none of the dozens of ships that left have returned.
