Chapter 290 The 290 That Was Too Late to Be Timed
Chen Daozhi summoned all the men from the water boat away, leaving only a provocative remark to Liang Zhen.
Kuang Chu finally seized the opportunity and shouted at Liang Zhen, "You can't stand him like this? Why don't you just chase after Shui Zhou and slash him a few more times!"
His expression was fierce, as if it was he himself, not Liang Zhen, who was about to chop Chen Daozhi up.
His words also conveyed a provocative message: "If you don't go, I'll look down on you."
But before Liang Zhen could make a move, the wisp of ink that had been hovering in the air flew away.
Kuang Chu was stunned. Why was it Elder Chang who chased after them?
Before Liang Zhen returned to the dock, he glanced at the other saints and asked, "You just watched as the boat took the people away?"
Zou Qian shrugged, indicating that she was unable to help.
Kuang Chu pointed to his eyes and said, "Didn't you blind me back then?"
Leng Rouyin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Wu Huaiwei looked back at him scrutinizingly: "Shui Zhou has a reason to take him away, otherwise do you want these sea eyes to really swallow Taiyi?"
After saying that, he gave a light snort: "Besides, Elder Chang has already gone after him, what are you still worried about? Elder Sun and the others wouldn't dare to really eat that kid."
Kuang Chu: "Are you worried about Mei Liangyu?"
He found it amusing and snorted twice: "I think you haven't quite broken Chen Daozhi's spirit, so you're using Mei Liangyu's matter to vent your anger on us."
Liang Zhen tucked his hands into his sleeves, glanced at Kuang Chu briefly, and said nothing.
Jiang Shulan couldn't help but sigh, looking at Shui Zhou with pity: "I hope they can have a proper talk."
Wu Huaiwei didn't take it seriously. Even the Sage Chang Gen had already given chase; could Shui Zhou really kill Mei Liangyu right in front of him?
No matter how heartless that old man is, he wouldn't watch his child, whom he has raised for so many years, die at the hands of someone else.
Besides, Shui Zhou wanted information related to the Sea Eye, and he might not necessarily do anything to Mei Liangyu.
Wu Huaiwei looked at the girl standing in the shadow of the ship:
The saints talked amongst themselves, and Saint Changgen left without even glancing at her. At this moment, Nangong Sui stood there all alone, looking particularly innocent, aggrieved, helpless, and pitiful.
That old geezer, does he only consider his eldest disciple a disciple, and not his youngest?
With such favoritism, he won't even allow others to teach, and he can ruin promising young talents!
Wu Huaiwei cursed Chang Gen the Saint in her heart.
The girl seemed to sense Wu Huaiwei's scrutinizing gaze, and timidly looked up. Her expression was hesitant and pitiful, as if she were silently asking herself if she could go over.
Wu Huaiwei's heart skipped a beat as she watched; she was exactly the type to fall for this kind of thing.
"What are you still standing there for? Come back with me." Wu Huaiwei spoke in a sweet and charming tone, but her eyes were cold. "If you wait for your master to come back for you, who knows when that will be."
Yu Sui then came out.
"Old Master Chang is really something. He lost his eldest disciple and now he doesn't even care about his youngest one," Kuang Chu complained. "But how come Old Master Chang's two disciples are here together?"
Leng Rouyin also stared at Yu Sui: "Why would Mei Liangyu ignite the sea fire for no reason? Do you know anything about it?"
"That's as if Mei Liangyu was forced to ignite the sea fire." Wu Huaiwei looked at Leng Rouyin with a half-smile. "Is this all the wisdom you have, Rouyin? It's truly embarrassing."
Leng Rouyin took a deep breath, wondering why this person had suddenly gone mad.
If Jiang Shulan hadn't been standing between the two of them, she would have already drawn her sword and slashed at Wu Huaiwei.
Just as Leng Rouyin was about to retort, Zou Qian preemptively said, "Some things still need to be clarified. We can't leave things like this. Her appearance here is indeed abrupt. I think everyone has overlooked Ou Rushuang's escape from the mirage because of the Haihuo issue."
Wu Huaiwei looked at Zou Qian, telling him to shut up. Then she heard Zou Qian ask Yu Sui, "If Ou Rushuang comes out, she will definitely retaliate against those students who went to Red Island, believing that it was these students who caused Xuan Kui's stronghold to be discovered and thus exposed his identity."
Kuang Chu: "Isn't that right?"
Zou Qian ignored him and stared at Yu Sui, asking, "Did Ou Rushuang capture you and take you to the Fog Sea?"
At this moment, Yu Sui doesn't need to explain anything; she only needs to answer "yes" or "no," which is much less risky than explaining the process herself.
The agricultural sage who knew how to discern truth from falsehood was absent, as was the legalist sage, and the medical sage Jiang Shulan was a compassionate person who wouldn't easily resort to torture. At this moment, whatever Yu Sui said was law.
Zou Qian went all out with her act, using the aura of a saint to interrogate Yu Sui, who then nodded in fear.
Zou Qian then asked, "Since Elder Chang did not fight Ou Rushuang, does that mean Ou Rushuang discovered a new mirage?"
Yu Sui nodded again: "Yes."
Zou Qian then asked, "Are you the only one trapped in the mirage?"
Yu Sui shook her head, her eyes glistening with tears, and whispered, "Senior brother is here too."
Wu Huaiwei laughed when she heard this, and then said to Leng Rouyin, "Sister Rouyin, did you hear that? The reason why Mei Liangyu ignited the sea fire is because he was trapped in Ou Rushuang's mirage. Elder Chang can't go in to save his disciples for a while. If the people inside don't want to die, then of course they have to show some real skills."
Intelligent people always have their own ideas and are unwilling to listen to the judgments of others.
Yu Sui's answer led the saints present to conclude that Mei Liangyu ignited the sea fire, which must have been done by Ou Rushuang. If he was trapped in the mirage and faced a life-or-death crisis, then igniting the sea fire would be normal.
That kid wouldn't care whether the ignited sea fire would affect Taiyi.
Leng Rouyin completely ignored the sarcastic Wu Huaiwei and asked Yu Sui, "Where is Ou Rushuang?"
"I don't know." Yu Sui shook her head, looking pitiful. "I was injured at the time and was protected by my senior brother. Later, we were sucked into the sea eye together, and I didn't see anything."
"I'm afraid they were swept into the eye of the sea, just like them, and no one knows where they were transported to," Zou Qian said.
Liang Zhen also said, "If Ou Rushuang is not dead, she will always come out again."
"What if he dies?" Kuang Chu always loved to contradict.
Liang Zhen said, "If someone dies, they die."
The Xuan Kui members in Taiyi have been eliminated, and the remaining Lan Du have been controlled by Jiang Shulan. What importance is Ou Rushuang to them? They will only go crazy when Wei Xizhen returns and learns that Ou Rushuang is missing. Now they don't care.
Kuang Chu was speechless.
Liang Zhen gazed silently in the direction of the water boat for a while, then left without a word. Leng Rouyin seemed to have made up her mind and hurried towards the water boat.
Kuang Chu looked at this one, then at that one, snorted coldly, and went back to the academy.
He doesn't care about these trivial matters.
"Then let's go," Zou Qian said to Jiang Shulan.
Jiang Shulan nodded: "Go back and check on the situation in the Fog Sea to prevent the sea fire and sea eye from harming the people in the outer city."
Wu Huaiwei gestured for Yu Sui to come over, and Yu Sui then went to the very edge, but when she reached the end, she still looked back.
A quiet, silent glance.
Shuizhou was established in the southwestern sea area.
On the boundary line of Taiyi.
The seas are connected, but the saints of Taiyi can feel the disappearance of the Earth's core power if they take two steps forward from this sea.
When the Water Boat was chosen to be built, the other sages who joined the Water Boat project made a clear request: the Water Boat could not be built within the Taiyi area.
The saints chosen by the power of the Earth's core are immortal in Taiyi, which is unfair to the other saints in the Water Boat.
The deep blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see, with no end or boundary in sight. Amidst this endless swaying sea, there stands a building whose size rivals that of royal palaces in various countries.
The solemn, dark red four-cornered towers stand guard on all four sides, connected to a high white wall that blocks people's view, preventing them from seeing the world inside.
Every so often, a distinct dark blue-black lightning bolt, engraved with seal script, is inserted into the wall, flashing with tiny lightning bolts, which keeps seabirds away.
There is a whirlpool at each of the four corners of the water boat, and the disc above the whirlpool is called the Star-Guiding Disc. The disc is engraved with the "Spiritual Chart" of the Yin-Yang School, but it is several times larger than the one in the Yin-Yang School.
The Star Guide in the North Corner is a teleportation point connecting other places, while the Star Guide in the South Corner is the landing point for the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon.
Sun Heng and his group appeared on the star chart in the North Corner. The star chart shone brightly for a moment, and Chen Daozhi took the first step forward: "We've arrived! The Yin Yang School's star chart is really useful. Just inscribe the positions of the stars on my life coins. It's so convenient."
It sounds like praising the Yin-Yang School's techniques, but it's actually showing off that they can use Yin-Yang School techniques while employing Taoist methods.
Sun Heng and the others all knew Chen Daozhi's unpleasant temper, so even if he talked enthusiastically, no one paid him any attention.
Chen Daozhi looked back at the way he came: "Would my junior brother really come after me? What if he does? I can't fight him in the boat. What if he kills me?"
The two renowned masters forced Mei Liangyu forward. As Mei Liangyu passed Chen Daozhi, he said rudely, "So what if I'm dead?"
Chen Daozhi laughed out loud, followed Mei Liangyu, and reached out to pull him towards him. The force of his pull made Mei Liangyu frown.
"You really don't care about me at all." Chen Daozhi didn't care about the generation gap between the two of them at all, and laughed and joked with Mei Liangyu like a young man. "When you were a child, you followed Junior Brother Liang to secretly learn the Nine Schools of Taoism. I only broke you two up because I thought Junior Brother Liang was misleading people. Is it really necessary to hold a grudge against me until now?"
“Besides, you were originally Elder Chang’s disciple. What’s the point of learning from Junior Brother Liang? The seniority can’t be messed up, don’t you think?” Chen Daozhi turned to look at Lu Lan and Xuan Jing.
Lu Lan shook her head, while Xuan Jing chuckled, feigning ignorance.
Chen Daozhi found their reactions uninteresting, so he turned to Zhuge Ling and asked, "Dean Zhuge, what do you think?"
Zhuge Ling glanced at him, then remained silent, looking disgusted.
Chen Daozhi turned to look at Mei Liangyu, put his arm around his shoulder and chuckled, "You really want me dead over something like this?"
As Mei Liangyu took a step forward, he steadied his stance, lowered his eyes, and breathed, gathering his strength to headbutt the man. After knocking the man aside, he quickly moved forward.
Chen Daozhi clutched his head, groaning in pain as he was hit.
Sun Heng stood on the star-guiding disk without moving, and said in a deep voice, "Take him to the Ice Sea Test Site."
Chen Daozhi looked up at him: "Aren't you going, sir?"
Sun Heng looked into the distance: "You guys go ahead first."
He was waiting for someone.
Sun Heng knew that Sage Chang Gen would definitely follow.
Chen Daozhi didn't linger and followed Mei Liangyu away. The Star-Guiding Disc became quiet. After a long time, a wisp of ink-like energy overflowed from the void and gradually filled Sun Heng's entire field of vision.
The oppressive aura of a sage belonging to the Ghost Daoist school descended.
“Three days.” Saint Changgen gazed at Sun Heng from the void. “I will only give you three days. When the time is up, I will take him back.”
Sun Heng said, "Seven days."
The Sage Changgen said, "Three days."
Sun Heng tried to persuade him: "Nangong Ming has already convinced the six kingdoms to cooperate with Shui Zhou in order to find the World Destroyer. When outsiders come to Shui Zhou, his identity will inevitably be exposed. You can't hide him forever."
The Sage Changgen did not respond.
Sun Heng wanted to make Chang Gen, the Sage, understand that people outside were looking for Mei Liangyu, and Mei Liangyu would not stay in Taiyi peacefully for the rest of her life as Elder Chang wished.
Shui Zhou also needs Mei Liangyu to fight against the strange fire, so Sun Heng doesn't want Chang Gen Saint to "lock" Mei Liangyu in Taiyi again.
But the Holy One Changgen ignored him completely, insisting that he would arrive every three days and take the person away from the water boat.
Sun Heng then changed his tune: "Judging from his previous attitude, Mei Liangyu has already regained a lot of his memories without your knowledge. Even if you bring him back, will he still treat you the same as before?"
"If Mei Liangyu remembers those things from the past, can you be sure he won't break ties with you?"
After a long silence, the Sage Changgen replied, "Memories can be retrieved, or they can be lost again."
“I wouldn’t mind if he started all over again.”
Sun Heng said in a deep voice, "He is no longer the child who can be manipulated at will. If you make him lose his memory again, it will not benefit anyone."
"What you want is not the same as what I want," Saint Changgen warned Sun Heng one last time. "You only have three days, so hurry up."
