The waves were rising in a less than ideal spot, right in the path of the large ship, as it was the direction with the fewest hidden reefs.
Ji Yutang furrowed her brows slightly, silently watching the commotion ahead.
The tide gradually receded, and the light of the great sun dimmed, faintly revealing a few streaks of emerald green light.
“Junior Sister, your water technique is quite impressive,” Zhao Yannan thought to himself as he gazed deeply at Li Jingyu.
As expected of Ji Yue, the Saintess of Huoxin Palace, with her skills, she might quickly cultivate a Golden Core and become the leader of this generation in the Demon Sect.
But that was only a possibility.
His eyes were deep, and he formed a hand seal, shouting, “Ten Suns Emerge!”
The blazing sun split into ten, with poisonous fire dancing in the air, each affecting the shadow of the moon wheel.
As for the remaining blazing sun, it headed towards Li Jingyu.
Li Jingyu stepped with a firm stride, her clothes fluttering as she dodged the blazing sun.
Wherever she walked, a white aura was left behind.
“Junior Sister, just avoiding isn’t a solution,” Zhao Yannan sighed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed dramatically.
The water tide, scorched by the blazing sun, turned into rising white vapor, but within the vapor, water droplets still condensed.
At this moment, countless water droplets floated in the air, each containing a Lunar Heavenly Heart Thunder!
“You—”
“Farewell, Senior Brother Zhao,” Li Jingyu’s eyes were deep, and a mocking smile played on her lips.
A series of explosive sounds shook the heavens and earth, with the power of thunder enveloping a large area of the sea.
Seeing Zhao Yannan’s form and spirit both destroyed, Li Jingyu clapped her hands, ready to leave this sea area.
Suddenly, a dark shadow emerged from the sea, and just by releasing its pressure, it caused Li Jingyu’s blood and energy to churn.
A Golden Core or higher-level sea beast?
A serious look flashed in Li Jingyu’s eyes, and she immediately transformed into a streak of light, fleeing in the opposite direction.
The shadow beneath the sea fluctuated with power, finally revealing a burly cultivator wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown.
His eyes were filled with a dark color as he reached out towards Li Jingyu, shouting, “Since you’re here, don’t leave. Offer up your primordial yin.”
Li Jingyu didn’t look back as she sent several Heavenly Heart Thunders towards the demon king.
She saw a large ship ahead, likely with stationed cultivators!
Her eyes darkened, and she decided to endure a few attacks from the demon king to reach the sea vessel.
Ji Yutang had been observing the situation ahead, thinking the battle was over when the tide receded, only to find a more formidable force emerging.
Her heart tightened, and when she saw the figure descending from the sky, her expression changed abruptly!
Wasn’t that her “fiancée”?
This was even more embarrassing than their first meeting!
Ji Yutang frowned, wondering if she should just watch as the dangerous cultivator captured her.
But she had helped her once before.
Taking a deep breath, she flew out of the pavilion without thinking and unleashed a Dragon Thunder.
After cultivating the True Dragon Transformation Scripture, she had instinctively mastered the dragon clan’s divine abilities.
This one was the “Divine Firmament Pure Dragon Thunder,” one of the five thunders.
The Dragon Thunder of the Mortal Shedding Stage was unlikely to injure a high-level cultivator, but the dragon’s might contained within the thunder caused the burly cultivator to pause, allowing Li Jingyu to successfully escape to the sea vessel.
The Zhou Family traveled far and wide, making many connections, and any Immortal Sect cultivator was willing to lend them a hand.
Upon seeing Li Jingyu, they not only didn’t stop her but even helped block the demon cultivator.
The demon cultivator, a troublemaker, showed a greedy look upon seeing the large ship, regardless of its flag, and directly revealed his demon form, attacking the ship.
“A flood dragon?”
Li Jingyu coughed lightly, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, her brows furrowed.
“Does it matter if it’s a flood dragon or not? Just take care of yourself first,” Ji Yutang pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then helped Li Jingyu up.
The sea vessel had only fifty small pavilions, and although the shipmaster accepted Li Jingyu, there was no room for her to stay.
Many people came out of the small pavilions, their eyes either covetous or curious, unable to hide their expressions.
Ji Yutang couldn’t let her stay with strangers, so after some thought, she decided it was better to keep her by her side.
In the pavilion, the incense smoke curled like green silk.
Ji Yutang glanced at the pale-faced Li Jingyu and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you in such a sorry state?”
Li Jingyu sighed, “I unfortunately encountered a cultivator from the Tianhai Demon Sect on the way. After finally dealing with him, who knew a Golden Core-level demon cultivator would appear?”
However, her injuries weren’t severe; the protective garment on her body had absorbed much of the impact, making her look more disheveled than she actually was.
Ji Yutang looked at Li Jingyu for a moment before squeezing out a sentence, “That really is quite unfortunate.”
Li Jingyu: “…”
She didn’t want to dwell on the word “unfortunate,” so she shifted her gaze and raised her eyebrows, “Logically, that demon cultivator should have retreated, but he’s fighting with the cultivators on the ship. Could he have come from elsewhere, rather than being a native demon of this sea area?”
Ji Yutang pondered for a while and nodded, “Probably.”
The Zhou Clan’s sea vessels were the most stable and traveled the farthest among the many families from Guxin Island.
They had connections with the forces in the sea, so if someone suddenly appeared without giving face, there might be a lot of underlying issues.
But these had nothing to do with her; she just needed the Zhou Clan’s ship to reach the North Sea smoothly.
The Zhou Family cultivators on the sea vessel were also skilled, and without even using the ship’s restrictions, they managed to hold back the obstructive flood dragon.
They acted cautiously, sending the gathered information to each cabin.
“It really isn’t from this sea area, but a demon cultivator from the North Sea,” Li Jingyu glanced at the information and looked up at Ji Yutang. Seeing her frown without speaking, she continued, “Has something happened in the North Sea?”
Demon cultivators didn’t have much organization, but within a certain range, there would be a major force, a demon lord ruling over the demons in that area.
In the North Sea waters, that behemoth was naturally the Dragon Palace.
“But we have to go there no matter what,” Ji Yutang frowned.
Li Jingyu smiled at her words and nodded, “Yes, we can travel together.”
Ji Yutang stared at her, speechless for a while.
Weren’t they already traveling together?
In the same cabin, could she really throw the other out?
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and meditated, no longer looking at the face that disturbed her peace of mind.
She didn’t know much about Ran Guzhu, but regardless of her true nature, those hurtful words were spoken by her.
She used to pretend, and now she could still put on a gentle facade to confuse people, but she must not be fooled again.
