"Damn! How do we know what is going on inside?"
"That's right, damn it! I came in a hurry out of curiosity. But the gate is closed, and we can't get in!"
"Hey! What happened inside!!?"
"Yeah, tell me what happened? What was that terrifying lightning bolt just now?"
"Why are you standing still? Say something!!!'
The disciples in charge of standing guard at the entrance were forbidden from saying anything, so they simply stood still, indifferently. If these people had thought of causing a disturbance, then they would immediately take action as these disciples were all at the high level of the Immortal Soul stage.
"Damn, these guys! They just stood there silently and didn't say anything. They don't answer any questions. I guess we can't even know what's going on?"
"Come on, trust me, someone's going to have to spread the word about what's going on. Wait a little longer, and you'll find out what's going on!"
"Well, but I want to know now. If we know first, we'll have the chance to tell first."
The chatter of the people who had gathered in front of the Sect entrance, wanting to know what was going on within the sect, rang out throughout the area. And as it went on, more and more people came there, until now the large courtyard was crowded with many people, not even the ordinary townspeople.
As for the three clan leaders, they were also among these people because they were not allowed to enter the sect at this time. Even if they were previously able to enter and exit the Artsy Water Sect at any time, they were now forbidden from entering.
News of a mysterious lightning strike at the Artsy Water Sect was now spreading throughout the Artsy Water Kingdom like a flaming fire. The other kingdoms started to receive this news as well, and the longer the facts of the story spread, the more and more gigantic it became.
Inside the Deity Weapon Sect...
"Hey, did you hear the news that the Artsy Water Sect was struck by a mysterious lightning?"
"Of course, it's the talk of the town now. Anyone who hasn't heard about it is outdated!"
"That's right. I really want to know whose action it is. This rumor is not certain. Half of it is believable; the other half isn't. I don't know how much of the facts have changed before coming to us here."
"But the source I got is 100% correct because my elderly relatives are also in the capital, and he saw the incident with his own eyes."
"Really? Come, come, will you tell me in detail? I want to know if what I've heard is exactly what you're telling me or not?"
"There is a story that…"
Bang!!!
Suddenly, a large young man smashed the table he was sitting on so loudly that the surrounding disciples were all silent before he spoke up, "It's annoying! You guys keep talking about that damn lightning strike.
This is Deity Weapon Sect, not a wet market or a boxing stadium to sit and talk about such nonsense rumors!" When he finished speaking, he got up and walked away as if someone had made him extremely angry.
"What is wrong with him? Why did he suddenly talk harshly?"
"That bastard is an energetic giant, one of the top five inner disciples. You would be smashed in the head. You newcomer should study beforehand who he is!"
"Um... I get it. Anyway, let's continue talking about this."
Rumors continued to spread without seeming to stop. Even distant Greenland, or even Blueland, heard of it. Everyone was talking about these rumors, and it made the white-bearded elder feel extremely irritable.
He really wanted to blow up the people who spread these rumors. He put in a lot of effort to make He-Tian-Chuang believe him about what had happened and tried to calm the matter down. But now, almost fifteen days after the incident had passed, the rumors had spread so far that they could no longer be controlled. The white-bearded elder, therefore, had to deal with this.
As for the hunt, none of the killers they hired had returned. The location that the white-bearded elder gave the most importance was the port city of Wild Land, because leaving Artsy Water Land, no matter what way they wanted to go; Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom, Greenland, and Blueland, they all had to get on the boat there.
But fifteen days later, their assassins still had not sent back the news that they had found Zheng-Fu and his companions.
In a secret room inside the Artsy Water Sect...
"It's been fifteen days, and they haven't been found yet?" the white-bearded elders spoke up with dissatisfaction, staring at the ten elders and five other middle-aged men within this secret room.
"Not yet, Supreme Elder. Our assassins reported that they've been waiting in the port town for twelve days and still haven't found Old Man Hai-Tu's ship and that kid," a middle-aged black-robed and covering his face, could only see his eyes speak with a fearful expression.
"How is this possible for twelve days? Aren't they just careless and miss them?" asked another elder beside the whitebeard elder.
"There's no way that's possible, sir. My people scattered and watched everywhere. No matter what, they can't escape their eyes," another middle-aged man said firmly and confidently.
"Or are they still in this Artsy Water Land? Maybe they haven't gone anywhere and tricked us that they were gone. Wait for us to let go of the port city and take that opportunity to board the ship?" said a third middle-aged man with a doubtful tone and thoughtful expression.
"There's no way they're still here because, if they were still here, my people would have found them again in the territorial waters around here. My people from the Frenzy Shark Pirates will never let it pass. Besides, Leader has been ordering people to patrol all areas all the time. We must be able to find them if they are still in these territorial waters and this land."
Suddenly, an eerie voice sounded from the middle-aged man sitting at the very end of the group of five middle-aged men. This man was one of the squad chiefs of the Frenzy Shark Pirates, hired by one of the elders.
And of course, their group's influence spanned thousands of lis of waters. Therefore, hiring them to monitor waterways was the best option right now. But after several days had passed, they still had not met Zheng-Fu and his companions. Both the white-bearded elder and the group of the High Senior Grandmaster Council were very worried.
But in fact, Zheng-Fu and his gang were not in the realm of the Artsy Water Land, Wild Land, or the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country. They had successfully entered the territorial waters of Blueland, which was a very fast journey.
It took Zheng-Fu five days to reach the waters of Wild Land aboard Elder Hai-Tu's superlative boat. With Elder Hai-Tu's super potential ship, the voyage was quite quick. Usually, they would need at least ten days, but this only took five days.
Then it took another six days to enter the waters of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom. And it took another four days to pass through the waters of this kingdom. Within these fifteen days, Zheng Fu wasted a lot of strength and energy to eradicate the aqua monster beasts that emerged to attack them.
Even Elder Hai-Tu and Hai-Dong let out painful cries as they entered the safety zone. But in fact, they had run out of energy four days ago. It was only Zheng-Fu who had resisted the aqua monster beasts under the sea.
It could be said that the escape this time was so difficult that the eyes almost splashed out. If it were not for Zheng-Fu who could add unlimited energy within a short period, they could not have passed through the waters filled with so many aquatic monster beasts under the sea.
However, although Zheng-Fu could increase energy quickly, having so many aqua monster beasts constantly popping up and attacking made him tired. Fortunately, he also had the mischievous trio. At the time, Solo had moved to the sixth level of the Immortal Soul stage.
As for the giant cat and Black Lotus, they were also leveled up. Originally, Jin-Tian the Cat had been only at the late level of the Immortal stage, now it was promoted to the third level of the Immortal Soul stage. As for Black Lotus, it had been only at the intermediate Nascent Soul stage previously, but it had now shifted to the fifth level of the Immortal stage.
Besides this trio to deal with the aqua monster beasts, Zheng-Fu also had the three Song siblings, whom he had brought with him from the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom's border when he had just come out of the monster beast forest at that time. All three of them had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, especially the youngest sibling who was the most advanced.
Three monster beasts and three men helped Zheng-Fu deal with the low-level aquatic monster beasts and assisted him in collecting a large number of the monster beasts under the sea corpses into the dimensional ring.
Thus, in the past ten days, they had killed more than three to four thousand aqua monster beasts. And all of them were monster beasts at the Nascent Soul stage and above. The highest level they encountered was the second level of the Emperor stage aqua monster beast, which was the one that Zheng-Fu took a very long time to deal with.
Because of geography, the aquatic monster beasts under the sea under the sea had an advantage over him. To fight them, not only had to wait for them to emerge on their own but also had to go down to deal with them under the sea. Fighting under the sea was not a good idea as it consumes twice as much energy.
But finally, they managed to get past the danger zone. They entered the territorial waters of Blueland, where there were very few aquatic beasts, and most of them were at the lower-level Nascent Soul stage. He did not know why they were only at this level. Even before, it was still full of higher-level aquatic monster beasts.
But that was not important to them any longer. Now it was very good for them to rest. Especially Zheng-Fu, who was the most tired and wanted to rest the most in the group.
"Kid, you can rest. We should be safe now," said Elder Hai-Tu after he had fully rested and recovered his energy.
"That's right, Brother, you should rest. You're already very tired. It was only you who resisted the horde of monster beasts in these four days. You should rest now. For the other matters, Grandpa and I will take care of them. Besides, we're now in Blueland," Hai-Dong added after Elder Hai-Tu finished speaking with a worried expression toward Zheng-Fu.
'We're finally here, Blueland.'
