The sea area above Devil Mountain.

Noon.

The sunlight was dazzling at that moment.

Xia Anyu and the others waited quietly on the sea.

Seven or eight days ago, Chen Tianwen and Shi Yan ordered a few people to meet them here. These people were very sensible and did not secretly follow the two people and the demon.

"Miss Xia, so much time has passed. I wonder if you have sensed your sect leader?"

Although Old Xia's tone was very calm, one could easily see the anxiety in his eyes.

If His Highness the Crown Prince were to have even the slightest problem, the three of them would be held responsible.

Aside from his own life and property, Xia Lao also had watched the Crown Prince grow up since he was a child, and no matter what, he didn't want him to be harmed!

"No!"

In fact, Xia Anyu was also very anxious. Although she had absolute faith in her sect leader, she couldn't put her mind at ease until he came out of Devil Mountain!

"Let's keep waiting! This area of ​​the Demon Realm is vast, and finding the Demon God's lair won't be an easy task!"

Despite her own anxiety, Xia Anyu still offered comforting words of comfort to Old Master Xia.

If I lose my composure at this moment, wouldn't I be letting down the sect leader's trust?

Before Xia Anyu could finish speaking, they heard a tremendous commotion coming from the distant horizon. The group exchanged glances and, without hesitation, rushed towards the source of the noise.

They had only traveled a thousand miles when they discovered that the seawater in front of them was constantly flowing into the whirlpool in the middle.

The vortex was enormous, seemingly without end, which explained why the group could easily hear the commotion even from a great distance.

The group exchanged glances and found that each other's eyes were filled with worry!

The commotion was so great that Xia Lao and the others were certain that it was caused by the Crown Prince and his group. Judging from the current scene, they had no idea what the situation was like in the sea.

Billions of pounds of seawater were poured into the seabed; it's unknown whether their cultivation levels could withstand it!

However, their strength is too weak, so even if they wanted to enter the seabed, it would be a waste of effort.

They might soon lose their way in this sea and be torn apart by it.

No matter how anxious they were, they could only wait quietly nearby.

Meanwhile, the group continued to try to contact the Crown Prince and Chen Tianwen from the surrounding area.

The result left them very uneasy, as no one responded to their call.

Having no other option, after seeing the seawater calm down slightly, Elder Xia immediately relayed the message to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was far away.

I am the highest-ranking person in charge of this operation besides the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince's situation is unknown and my cultivation is insufficient, I can only shamefully ask the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to resolve this matter!

But to Xia Lao's surprise, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty actually came here in just two days.

His hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles. When Old Xia saw him, he was shocked. He never expected that the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty had aged to such an extent!

After Elder Xia bowed respectfully, the ancestor asked a question.

"What on earth did Yan'er go about?!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince has gone to slay his inner demons!"

Elder Xia told the ancestor everything he knew, including the situation of Chen Tianwen, the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect who was by Shi Yan's side.

When the patriarch of the Ming Dynasty heard that Chen Tianwen had advanced to the Integration stage and even killed the Sea Emperor when he was at the Nascent Soul stage, and that he cared about the people of the Ming Dynasty, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With such a person who cares about ordinary mortals and is also very powerful, the possibility of his great-grandson getting hurt is not high!

Although Shi Yan's soul tablet showed that he was still alive, his heart was always in suspense as the specific situation remained unknown.

His great-grandson had displayed unexpected talent since childhood, surpassing even Chen Tianwen whom he had just heard about. No one in the Heavenly Profound Realm could rival him.

From a young age, he had carefully nurtured this great-grandson, hoping that he could break through to the Integration Stage as soon as possible and protect the Ming Dynasty for him.

He himself only had about two hundred years left to live. Before Shi Yan, he was always worried that after he achieved enlightenment, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed and the people would be plunged into endless sect wars. However, Heaven was not unkind to the Ming Dynasty and sent him such a talented great-grandson.

He was very pleased!

Although the seawater in front of them looked terrifying, it was still terrifying to cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

For a cultivator like Chen Tianwen at the Integration stage, it was very easy to resist, so he decided to wait here for a while.

Immediately, the old ancestor threw a flying boat out of the void and went up to meditate!

Seeing his ancestor's calm and composed demeanor, Elder Xia breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Apart from Chen Tianwen, whom he had met before, he had never seen any other cultivators at the Integration stage.

However, Chen Tianwen only slightly moved under the lightning tribulation, and he had no idea how powerful it actually was.

Our ancestor should know this!

With this feeling, Old Xia felt a little more at ease.

Xia Anyu was quite uneasy, but in front of a cultivator at the Integration stage, her cultivation level was simply not enough!

His own cultivation level was insufficient to search at sea on his own, so he could only wait anxiously beside the flying boat, awaiting the instructions of the Ming Dynasty's ancestor.

Three days later, the seawater finally calmed down, and everyone went into the sea to search at the ancestor's command!

The Devil Mountain in the sea completely altered the terrain; on the seabed, only sections collapsed.

Everyone followed the direction of the collapse and finally arrived at an ordinary-looking place.

It was very quiet here, and there seemed to be no danger, but the old ancestor of the Ming Dynasty in front of them changed his expression.

He quickly abandoned the others and used his magic to move the nearby boulders away.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a demonic array, smashed beyond recognition but still radiating a powerful demonic aura, hidden within the remaining boulders.

The Great Ming Ancestor stared at the demonic array expressionlessly for a while, then sent everyone out of the sea, including himself, who soon emerged from the water.

He left only one sentence: "Make sure this place is well-guarded, and no one is allowed to enter again!"

They simply drove off!

The remaining people were pale-faced. Even if the ancestor didn't say it, they all knew in their hearts that Chen Tianwen and the Crown Prince were in grave danger and didn't know where the demonic array had sent them.

In particular, they knew nothing about the technique behind this demonic array. If it were the legendary one-way teleportation array, they might never see these two again.

Among them, Xia Anyu and Old Man Xia were the most grief-stricken.

Xia Anyu could no longer hold back her tears. Her beloved was far away, and she would never find him again!
