Chapter 3944: Chapter 3944: Eyes in the Darkness (Seven Updates)
Even, upon discovering that the Beihan Commerce was going to such lengths to shield Ye Chen, he might even pull the Guanghan Palace of the West Sea and North Sea into this affair!
In that case, there would be no room left for the Beihan Commerce to interfere.
So, if she wants to maximize the benefits, she must take a risk, racing against time to enter the Inner Sea before Lin Jianqing thoroughly investigates the West Sea!
Therefore, she no longer has time to return to the North Sea.
Sometimes, for the sake of profit, one must take risks!
On the merchant ship, in a deserted corner, a sailor with an ordinary appearance and no distinctive features had a strange smile on his face, muttering: "Unexpectedly, I’ve truly encountered such an opportunity. Qin Hongyue, although I don’t know why you made this decision, but blame your own carelessness..."
...
At this moment, Qin Hongyue and Ye Chen stood at the bow of the ship, looking toward the distance, seeing the horizon ahead shrouded in extremely thick evil energy.
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Miss Qin, what is that place?"
Over the past few days, as he interacted with Qin Hongyue, their relationship had eased a lot. Qin Hongyue was no longer entirely ignoring him as she did at the start.
Of course, her expression still wasn’t particularly friendly.
At this moment, Qin Hongyue, too, was coldly saying: "That is the sea region at the junction of the West Sea and the Red Sea. Due to sovereignty issues, this area is not governed by either side and is referred to by those of the Chenyue Sea as the Vicious Sea!
In the Chenyue Sea, there were always many ferocious beasts lurking. The restraint they experience due to the gravity of the Chenyue Sea is far less than ours; they can freely move in the water. It is only because of the presence of Guanghan Palace in various sea regions, which regularly exterminates these ferocious beasts, that the safety of the sea routes is ensured.
In this Vicious Sea, there is no governance, so the evil energy there is emitted by numerous ferocious beasts."
Ye Chen, upon hearing this, looked toward Aunt Lin, only to see the expert, at this moment, also gazing solemnly at that sea area.
He frowned and asked: "Could even Aunt Lin not be a match for these ferocious beasts?"
If so, then entering the Inner Sea seems to carry great risks!
Qin Hongyue replied: "Although ferocious beasts are terrifying, they aren’t overwhelmingly so. There are Qiankun Realm beasts, though rare, and it’s basically impossible for two to appear simultaneously. Even if these beasts have some advantages in the sea, Aunt Lin, with the help of this merchant ship, can ensure our safety!"
Ye Chen squinted his eyes slightly and said: "But, Aunt Lin’s expression..."
Qin Hongyue’s eyes became somewhat grim as she said: "Aunt Lin’s expression is due to the dangers in the Vicious Sea, which aren’t limited to just these ferocious beasts but include pirates!"
"Pirates?"
Ye Chen’s demeanor grew slightly peculiar; this kind of thing could be found in some surrounding sea areas of Huaxia, yet unexpectedly existed in the Outer Realm.
"Can anyone survive in this Vicious Sea?"
Qin Hongyue glanced at Ye Chen and said: "These people are fugitives hunted by the Law Enforcement Hall of various sea domains. They survive by hunting ferocious beasts and robbing merchant ships. If you hadn’t encountered me and couldn’t smoothly trade with the Guanghan Palace Master, to escape the Law Enforcement Hall’s pursuit, you might just have to hide in the Vicious Sea...
Though the Vicious Sea is dangerous, it’s not entirely uninhabitable. These pirates have existed in the Vicious Sea for countless ages, forming a powerful force hidden beneath the surface of Chenyue Sea, and they have developed a set of survival laws to co-exist with the Vicious Sea!
There are even legends that suggest some pirates, after surviving in the Vicious Sea for too long, have undergone some changes in their bodies, becoming no longer human. They have gained the ability to move as freely as ferocious beasts in the Chenyue Sea."
Ye Chen’s gaze flickered as he asked: "What if we encounter pirates?"
Qin Hongyue responded: "These pirates are divided into various organizations, large and small. Aunt Lin can generally handle the average pirate group... But if we encounter larger pirate groups, we often need the presence of two late-stage Qiankun Realm experts to escape. However, the chances of this happening aren’t high. Our Beihan Commerce has been trading for many years and has mapped out the distribution of various pirate groups in the Vicious Sea, so we should successfully avoid the territories controlled by those pirate groups that pose a threat to us."
Ye Chen’s expression grew serious: "Has no one ever been able to control this sea area?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Hongyue suddenly looked toward the sky at this time, pondering as she said: "There’s a legend in the Chenyue Sea: When the sky shows Nine Blood Moons, that’s when he returns."
"That person wields Moon Power and is the supreme existence of the Moon God Clan, as mysterious as the stars, with power reaching the heavens..."
Hearing these words, Ye Chen’s expression turned even more peculiar!
Isn’t this clearly referring to Senior Ren?!
The Dark Domain and this sea area are both filled with legends of Senior Ren?
What really happened in that distant ancient era?
And, his previous life should have been similar to Senior Ren, could it be that he has visited here too?
It’s just a pity his memories are sealed, and he knows nothing at all.
...
The sailors aboard the merchant ship watched the sea area full of rolling evil energy, their faces showing signs of tension, while a burly man with a cruel look on his face shouted sternly:
"What are you afraid of! Our Beihan Commerce has traversed the Vicious Sea countless times! We have already memorized the route into the Red Sea! Stay alert!"
Encouraged by this old sailor, the atmosphere on the merchant ship eased a bit, and the group of sailors responded one after another: "Yes!"
The old sailor’s gaze flickered, knowing that the more dangerous it is, the steadier the sailors must remain internally; otherwise, an incident could cause unimaginable consequences!
On board the merchant ship of the Beihan Commerce, a flash of spiritual light occurred as they entered the rolling evil energy of the Vicious Sea!
In the grand hall on the merchant ship, Aunt Lin’s expression shifted as she said to Qin Hongyue: "Miss, we have entered the Vicious Sea."
Qin Hongyue replied: "For the next three days, I’ll count on Aunt Lin."
Traversing this Vicious Sea takes approximately three days, during which the merchant ship will inevitably encounter some powerful ferocious beasts. At such times, they’ll rely on Aunt Lin to take action.
Aunt Lin said: "Miss, rest assured."
Saying so, she left the grand hall heading toward the bow of the ship to keep a constant watch for approaching ferocious beasts to prevent any unforeseen events.
...
On an island shrouded with rolling gray mist, numerous stone buildings were erected. Around the island, various oddly shaped Beast Bones were scattered. Through the mist, silhouettes could vaguely be seen flashing near the stone buildings.
In the largest stone building, a dark-skinned, deep-blue-eyed, heavily scarred, muscular middle-aged man was sitting on a chair carved out of Beast Bone. This man’s rugged appearance carried a faintly aggressive atmosphere, yet the most noticeable feature was the peculiar patterns growing around his throat!
