[Chapter 206] Crossing the Sea of Clouds and Mist
[Chapter 206] Crossing the Sea of Clouds and Mist
Before the Qi family ancestor could say thank you, a surge of energy and blood surged in his body again. The next moment, he opened his mouth again and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“Poof~”
Then, he fainted magnificently.
The strength on the hand of the Mahayana man loosened slightly, and the ancestor of the Qi family fell to the ground. Fortunately, the man still had some conscience. He used his spiritual energy to hold the body of the Qi family ancestor and gently placed him on the ground.
He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and was about to check on the condition of the Qi family's ancestor when he heard a woman's cough. His attention immediately shifted to the woman.
“Ahem…”
The woman looked weak, swaying as if she was about to fall.
The man frowned and reached out to support her.
"Junior Sister Ruan, how are you?"
The Junior Sister Ruan he was referring to was Ruan Siyu.
Ruan Siyu smiled weakly on her pale face: "Brother Si, I'm fine."
The Brother Si she was referring to was named Si Shuo.
Both of them are from the Shinto sect.
Si Shuo is one of the four guardians of the Shinto sect, and his status in the Shinto sect is comparable to that of the masters of various halls. He obeys the name of the sect leader and is responsible for the safety of the Shinto sect.
Ruan Siyu is the direct disciple of the fifth elder of the Shinto sect.
Si Shuo once saved Ruan Siyu, and the relationship between them was average. The main reason is that Si Shuo deliberately avoided Ruan Siyu. Ruan Si wanted to bring Si Shuo into his own fish pond, but unfortunately he failed.
This time, Si Shuo will take the teleportation array to Lingyuan Continent with Ruan Siyu, which is also related to Nangong Chenyu.
He had received news that a blue dragon had appeared in Lingyuan Continent, so he wanted to go there in person to find out more about the situation.
When I left the sect, I happened to meet Ruan Siyu.
Originally he didn't intend to pay attention to Ruan Siyu, but suddenly he remembered that Ruan Siyu had told him before that she had been to Lingyuan Continent.
This is how the scene of him, Ruan Siyu, and the ancestor of the Qi family riding on the teleportation array came about.
"Do you have any enemies in Lingyuan Continent?" Si Shuo asked.
Ruan Siyu shook her head and said, "Although I have been to Lingyuan Continent, I have only met one person there, and that person died of dystocia decades ago."
She glanced at the Qi family ancestor lying on the ground and continued, "The people who attacked us should have been targeting him. We probably suffered an unprovoked disaster."
Si Shuo nodded. "I heard that the highest level of cultivators in Lingyuan Continent is the Void Refinement Stage, but the person who attacked us just now is at least at the Fusion Stage."
Ruan Siyu was shocked. How could a cultivator in the fusion stage appear in Lingyuan Continent?
Moreover, the other party happened to be guarding next to the Qi family's teleportation array. Who is he and what is his purpose?
She was confused, but replied, "When I was in Lingyuan Continent, I didn't meet any cultivator whose cultivation level was higher than the Void Refining Stage."
Hearing this, Si Shuo felt that the cultivator in the fusion stage was most likely from Zhongxuan Continent, and the other party might also go to Lingyuan Continent to inquire about Qinglong's news.
Thinking of this, Si Shuo wanted to go to Lingyuan Continent even more.
"Junior Sister Ruan, since you are okay, then I..."
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Siyu started coughing again.
"Cough cough~" After coughing twice, she opened her mouth and spat out blood like the ancestor of the Qi family.
“Poof~”
"Junior Sister Ruan, I'm sorry." A flash of disgust passed through Si Shuo's eyes. He put his hand on Ruan Siyu's wrist and examined her body.
After realizing that she was not pretending and had really suffered serious internal injuries, Si Shuo took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and fed it to her mouth.
"Junior Sister Ruan, take a healing pill first."
The aroma of the elixir wafted into her nose. Without looking, Ruan Siyu knew that the elixir in Si Shuo's hand was an eighth-grade top-quality healing elixir.
Level eight elixirs were hard to come by, let alone top grade ones, so she ate them without hesitation.
"By the way, Brother Si, are you injured?"
Si Shuo paused for a moment: "I'm not injured."
Ruan Siyu glanced at the Qi family ancestor lying on the ground and said to Si Shuo, "Brother Si, please help take a look at his injuries."
Squatting down, Si Shuo put his hand on the wrist of the Qi family's ancestor.
After the examination, he poured out another pill from the porcelain bottle and fed it to the Qi family ancestor while saying, "He has suffered serious internal injuries, and his internal organs are displaced. He needs at least half a year to recuperate."
Ruan Siyu saw him feed the pill to the ancestor of the Qi family without hesitation. She felt so heartbroken that she spoke subconsciously.
"Just feed him level 6 healing pills."
"It's okay." Si Shuo said nonchalantly.
Ruan Siyu: “…”
"Junior Sister Ruan will probably be healing next. I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any more."
After saying that, Si Shuo planned to leave.
Ruan Siyu hurriedly called him: "Brother Si, could you please take me back to the sect first?"
Si Shuo refused without a second thought: "I have something else to do in Lingyuan Continent. If Junior Sister Ruan is in a hurry to return to the sect, I can help you notify the Fifth Elder."
Ruan Siyu was angry in her heart, but looked sad on her face.
"Don't inform my master. I don't want him to know that I'm injured."
She originally wanted to make Si Shuo feel guilty, because if Si Shuo had not said that he wanted to go to Lingyuan Continent, she would definitely not go there in person just because of what the Qi family ancestor said.
Unfortunately, Si Shuo not only did not feel guilty, he also blamed Ruan Siyu in his heart for wasting his time.
"Then I'll have the sect disciples come pick you up."
Regardless of whether Ruan Siyu agreed or not, he took out the sound transmission jade slip and sent a message.
"Someone will be here to pick you up soon."
After saying this, Si Shuo turned around and left the stone chamber.
Ruan Siyu couldn't help but curse in her heart: What a stinky man who doesn't understand romance.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng had no idea what was happening here. Ruan Siyu and Si Shuo appeared with the ancestor of the Qi family, and Nangong Chenyu automatically classified the three of them into one group.
Afterwards, Nangong Chenyu commanded the stone sculpture of the monster to smash the teleportation array.
Without caring whether the materials on the ground could still be used, Ye Yisheng collected them all and planned to give them to Yun Cheng when he met him.
"The ancestor of the Qi family will definitely come back from other places and tell the head of the Ye family, and then we will go to Zhongxuan Continent again." Nangong Chenyu said.
"I want to go to the Ye family mining area."
"Do you want to see Ye Xuan?"
"Yeah." Ye Yisheng admitted generously: "I want to kill him with my own hands."
The reason why Nangong Chenyu didn't kill Ye Xuan before was that he wanted to use Ye Xuan to fish. However, they are all about to leave Lingyuan Continent, so even if a fish is caught, they will be unable to reach it.
Since there is no point in keeping Ye Xuan anymore, there is naturally no need to keep him.
"Just do what's in your heart."
Ye Yishen immediately used space teleportation and disappeared on the spot.
Mount Jiuyi is majestic and magnificent, with overlapping rock formations. Thousand-foot-high peaks are like sharp swords breaking through the air, steep and rugged peaks piercing the sky, and strange rocks of various shapes cover the mountain, forming a natural barrier.
One of the huge cliffs stands upright as if it was created by nature, and another huge rock lies across it, as if placed by a giant hand halfway up the mountain, forming a unique landscape.
Ye Yishen flew and landed among the strange mountains and rocks, and took out a jade slip from his space ring.
As his spiritual consciousness penetrated deeper into it, he found a detailed map inside the jade slip, which marked the location and characteristics of each area, like a living three-dimensional guide.
After carefully confirming his current location, Ye Yisheng put away the jade slip, and his figure flashed again, disappearing on the spot like a phantom.
When he reappeared, he was already in a mine rich in spiritual stones.
The place is filled with rich spiritual energy and a faint scent of mineral veins, mixed into a unique atmosphere.
The member of the Ye family who is in charge of guarding this spiritual stone mine is a side branch member who has reached the Nascent Soul stage. He had a keen sense of perception and was the first to notice the approach of a strange aura and immediately took out his magic weapon to be on guard.
"Who is coming?" asked the Ye family member vigilantly.
Ye Yishen turned around and calmly threw a token that was flickering with a faint light to the other party.
This member of the Ye family has been stationed at the Lingshi Mine for many years and is no stranger to Ye Yisheng's name, but this is the first time they have met face to face.
"So you are Ye Yisheng." The Ye family members looked at Ye Yisheng curiously, "Not long ago, the head of the family sent a message to tell me that you would come."
Ye Yisheng stated his purpose directly: "I'm looking for Ye Xuan."
"Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring Ye Xuan here right away." After saying that, the Ye family member called over a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Not long after, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage led a disheveled, skinny man over.
"He is Ye Xuan." The Foundation Establishment cultivator pointed at the man he brought with him.
The moment Ye Xuan saw Ye Yishen, his eyes, which were once bright but now became dull, hatred burned like wildfire.
If Ye Yisheng had not appeared, he, Ye Xuan, would still be the highly respected son of the Ye family, enjoying a life of wealth and glory, and be a high-ranking cultivator.
Looking at Ye Xuan who had changed so much, Ye Yisheng thought to himself: No wonder he didn't find Ye Xuan in the spirit stone mine. The person opposite is completely different from the previous Ye Xuan.
I'm afraid that even Ye Xuan's biological parents would not be able to recognize that this withered man is Ye Xuan at the first sight.
Ye Yishen mobilized his spiritual energy and transformed it into a strong rope, which quickly tied up Ye Xuan.
"I took the person away."
After leaving this sentence, Ye Yishen used space teleportation and disappeared from the spot together with Ye Xuan.
In a flash, Ye Yishen appeared out of nowhere in a forest of strange rocks, bringing with him the bound Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan stared at Ye Yisheng, his eyes full of resentment, his voice filled with metallic coldness: "Ye Yisheng, why did you take away everything from me? Why did you come back? You..."
Ye Yisheng interrupted him coldly: "How dare you think that everything you had before belonged to you?"
Ye Xuan argued bitterly: "If you hadn't shown up, everything I have would have always been mine. Why did you show up? Why didn't you die outside? Why did you come back?"
"Tsk, your family is really shameless and rude in the same way."
Ye Yishen stopped talking nonsense, and with a thought, the Golden Rainbow Sword appeared in his hand.
The sharp tip of the sword flashed with cold light, instantly cutting through the air and accurately piercing Ye Xuan's heart, ending his life.
After pulling back the sword and cleaning off the blood stains on it, Ye Yishen threw the spiritual fire at Ye Xuan's body.
In an instant, flames enveloped Ye Xuan's body.
In a short while, Ye Xuan's body turned into a pile of ashes. Only after making sure that Ye Xuan could not die again did Ye Yishen take out the flying boat and head for the Sea of Clouds and Mist.
A spiritual ship passed quickly on the sparkling sea. Where the hull touches the water, delicate white waves are stirred up, like a vivid painting.
Inside the spirit ship.
Ye Yisheng sat in front of an old wooden table, holding a jade slip about two fingers wide in his hand. His eyes moved slowly across the jade slip.
There were more than a dozen similar jade slips neatly placed on the wooden table in front of him. These jade slips came from the space rings of Zhou Zhiyuan and others.
The contents of the jade slips are different. Some of them record advanced cultivation methods, some contain exquisite boxing and swordsmanship, and some contain various spells.
Ye Yishen's purpose of reading these jade slips was not to practice, but just to gain knowledge out of boredom.
He specially purchased the spirit ship when he passed through Tianyuan City. A total of five ships were bought in case of emergency.
On the first day, the wind was calm and the sea was as clear as a mirror.
However, on the second day, the situation changed.
In the early morning, the sky was bright, but the sun had not yet appeared above the horizon.
As the light in the cabin gradually dimmed, Ye Yishen realized that something was wrong. He walked out of the cabin and found that the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a huge hand was covering the sky.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds began to surge.
The howling wind swept in and the heavy rain came suddenly. The sea surface suddenly became turbulent, with huge waves rolling as if they were going to sweep the entire spirit ship down.
Despite this, Ye Yisheng still stood firmly on the deck.
The defensive barrier surrounding the spirit ship isolated him from the bad weather.
Looking at the surging waves, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his right hand subconsciously stroked the green dragon wrapped around his left wrist.
The waves swept over the spirit ship again and again, and each impact made the ship shake.
The spirit ship looked so small in the huge waves, and it seemed that it would be swallowed up by the endless sea of clouds and mist at any time.
If it were an ordinary ship, it would have capsized long ago.
The spirit ship has its own defense. Every time the waves hit it, the defensive barrier around the spirit ship will flash white light. But the spirit stones are consumed very quickly.
Seeing this, Ye Yishen replaced the medium-grade spirit stones that supported the operation of the spirit ship with high-grade spirit stones.
As time went by, Ye Yisheng discovered a problem. Under the continued influence of bad weather, the spirit ship has deviated from its originally set trajectory.
He tried to correct his course, but it seemed too late.
Just when he was feeling anxious, the rain suddenly stopped and the sky cleared up.
The setting sun shines through the clouds onto the sea, and the sparkling sea surface looks particularly beautiful under the sunlight. The bad weather just now seemed to have never appeared.
After calculating the time, Ye Yisheng adjusted the course according to the direction of the rising sun.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, an accident happened again.
The spirit ship suddenly shook violently, and then began to move backwards.
Ye Yisheng immediately released his spiritual sense to detect.
It turned out that a giant octopus monster was using its arms to grab the spirit ship and pull it backwards, which caused the spirit ship's forward trajectory to change.
The octopus monster is extremely strong and is already at level four.
Ye Yishen frowned. In the fight on the sea, he was at a disadvantage.
