The Blood Night Fearsome Sea still looked the same. At night, there were snow and winds. The Mystic Divine Palace broke through an opening in the sky and almost immediately got struck by a bolt of lightning.
Go down into the water!
Although the restrictions around the Mystic Divine Palace managed to hold off much of the impact from the lightning bolt, the constant striking would still consume a lot of the palace’s energy. Jiang Yi decided to control the Mystic Divine Palace so that it went under the sea. The palace would slow down in the sea, but the overall effect would not be significant.
“Here?”
Jiang Yi looked at the map and released his Divine Perception to look for the island on which Qian Wanguan was. Very quickly, he found a huge island about a billion kilometers away. There was no need to use Heaven Evasion to cross this distance. Just flying would take them about two hours. Of course, Jiang Yi’s main worry was that the palace would not appear near the island if they used Heaven Evasion. For all they knew, they would overshoot it. It would be much simpler to fly straight toward the island.
Koo-koo! Thump-thump!
They got into trouble while flying. The Blood Night Fearsome Sea was filled with sea demons. The Mystic Divine Palace’s sudden appearance in the sea, along with its powerful aura, had caught the attention of countless sea demons.
“Get lost!”
Jiang Yi shouted in a low voice, but he discovered that the sea demons were not retreating. He decided to just charge toward them. The low-leveled sea demons were crushed to pieces almost immediately. Even the demon sovereigns weren’t able to escape Jiang Yi’s attack. After traveling a thousand kilometers, they killed hundreds of thousands of sea demons.
The smell of blood covered the entire sea, surprising even more sea demons. This attracted the demon sovereigns in the center of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea to the palace as well. After Jiang Yi navigated through four thousand kilometers, three demon sovereigns suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the way.
Buzz!
The Mystic Divine Palace came to a halt all of a sudden. It was not that Jiang Yi was afraid of these three demon sovereigns. He just did not want to kill them on account of Ao Lu. He congealed a phantom and placed it in front of the Mystic Divine Palace. In a low voice, he said, “I am Jiang Yi. I am a friend of your demon clan’s Lord Ao Lu. I don’t want to wage war against the demons of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. Please move out of the way, we just want to pass through.”
“Lord Ao Lu?”
The three demon sovereigns were dressed in black robes and looked like humans. Each of them looked quite advanced in age already. They exchanged meaningful looks. One of the elders laughed mirthlessly, “Since you are a friend of Lord Ao Lu, why are you killing so many demons of our seas?”
“I did not want to kill them!”
Jiang Yi shook his head and continued, “They kept rushing toward me and attacking my Mystic Divine Palace. In a rush, I knocked them down. If you get the demons out of the way, I will not harm another one of them.”
“Hmph!”
The elder tutted. “You’ve already killed so many of us. You aren’t expecting to just get out of here scot-free, are you?”
Jiang Yi was getting impatient. He raised one sharp eyebrow and asked, “What do you want?”
“Very simple!”
The elder locked his gaze on the Mystic Divine Palace and a look of greed crossed his face. “Leave this palace behind. On account of Lord Ao Lu, we will let you off.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi burst out in laughter. His voice echoed throughout the sea. He looked mockingly at the three demon sovereigns and said, “You want to steal the Mystic Divine Palace based on your capabilities? Greed indeed cannot stop even snakes from devouring elephants. If you want to snatch my palace from me, go ahead and try. Just don’t blame me if you die trying!”
Jiang Yi’s phantom disappeared at once. The three demon sovereigns were obviously angered. The demons of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea were not one with those of the Endless Deep Sea. These three were the rulers in this part of the sea. No one ever dared to put them down like that before today. Even the clans of the East Imperial Continent dared not mess around with the demons of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea.
Thus, while they acted courteous towards Ao Lu, they did not actually hold him in high regard. Now, Jiang Yi was acting so snobbish even after he massacred the demons in this sea. It was only natural that the three of them would be outraged.
Their greed really could not stop them from wanting to swallow this huge palace!
One of the black-robed elders’ body lit up at once. He took on his true form: a huge sea snake. The sea snake was a few kilometers long. Jiang Yi guessed that its head alone measured about thirty meters. It opened its huge mouth, which looked just like a big cave to Jiang Yi. It charged toward Jiang Yi, intending to swallow the Mystic Divine Palace whole.
“You don’t know the meaning of death!”
Jiang Yi sat in a pavilion in the Moon Mirror Lake and laughed mirthlessly. Zhan Wushuang and the others who were seated around him all looked at him, confused. None of them knew what was going on. Huangfu Taotian was the first to give in and ask, “What’s the matter, Jiang Yi?”
“Hehe, a demon sovereign wants to swallow the Mystic Divine Palace whole.”
Jiang Yi kept giggling. He waved his hand and caused a huge screen to appear on top of the Moon Mirror Lake. It displayed the scene outside the Mystic Divine Palace. At that time, the Mystic Divine Palace’s back glow was lighting up the sea. They could clearly see that the Mystic Divine Palace was in the stomach of a beast. The body was green inside, and it looked like poisons were trying to break down the restrictions of the palace.
“Eh!?”
Feng Luan and the others who had been playing at the lake with Zhan Wudi were surprised to see the screen in mid-air. In fact, they were stunned stiff!
“Break!”
Jiang Yi shouted in a cool voice. The Mystic Divine Palace immediately lit up a hundred thousand times more and flew out from the sea demon’s belly. It crashed hard against the linings of the belly and broke it apart very easily.
“Go!”
Jiang Yi shouted once again. The Mystic Divine Palace turned back and hit the sea demon hard in its head. Immediately, the sea demon flew backward from the impact. Still, the palace did not stop attacking it. Instead, it kept striking the demon in the head until the sea demon’s head became a blur of flesh and blood.
The restrictions outside the Mystic Divine Palace had very strong powers of retaliation. Even Demigods had difficulty fending themselves against it. This sea demon was considered big and strong, but there was no way that it would have been able to withstand the constant strikes of the palace.
“This!”
The other two demon sovereigns looked on, their gazes turning hard. One of them began to panic while the other one became even angrier. A light shone around its body. Then, it took on its own true form. It was a huge six-eyed octopus.
His tentacles struck at the palace as quickly as lightning, catching the Mystic Divine Palace in a death-like grip. At the same time, golden beams shot out of its six eyes, attacking the Mystic Divine Palace.
“Can you hang on?”
Jiang Yi smiled gently. The Mystic Divine Palace began to shake violently, shaking off the grip of the tentacles. Then, it started to strike the octopus. The black light around the Mystic Divine Palace turned into what looked like sharp blades as the palace struck right through the huge body of the octopus, piercing through the other side. The entire octopus turned into a fountain of blood.
“Flee!”
The sea snake became frightened as did the octopus. They cried out in panic and flew away as quickly as they could. Neither of them could break through the Mystic Divine Palace. If they carried on, their only outcome would be death for sure.
“Jiang Yi, are you not going to pursue them?”
Zhan Wushuang watched as Jiang Yi stopped the Mystic Divine Palace, his eyes full of killing intent. Huangfu Taotian and Situ Yixiao said nothing. Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “I have to give Ao Lu some respect no matter what. What’s more, there are entities comparable to the Nine Thearchs in the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. If I kill these three, we will be in deeper trouble. We’d better get on.”
The Mystic Divine Palace kept cutting through the sea. This time, no more demons dared to block their way. The demon clans nearby must have been frightened by how Jiang Yi dealt with those demon sovereigns. If even the demon sovereigns were not Jiang Yi’s match, these other demons would only die if they charged forward. After another peaceful two hours journeying through the sea, they finally arrived at the island where Qian Wanguan was.
It was midnight already. There were lightning and rain. A Heaven Fate Ship was parked on the island. The Mystic Divine Palace broke out of the surface of the sea, causing many formidable martial artists on the Heaven Fate Ship to get a shock. A fatty on the deck yelled, “Boss! Boss! You’re finally here!”
“Hahaha!”
The Mystic Divine Palace’s gates opened wide. Jiang Yi, Zhan Wushuang, Situ Yixiao, and Huangfu Taotian walked out, smiling widely on seeing Qian Wanguan. “Damn Fatty, why have you become a meatball again?”
Swish!
The restrictions around the Heaven Fate Ship were lifted, and Qian Wanguan flew out. Tears were streaming down his cheeks and his nose was running as he shouted, “Boss, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you over the years. Every time I think about you, I get hungry. I ate and I ate, and now, here I am…”
“Get lost!”
Jiang Yi slapped Qian Wanguan on the back of his head and scolded him jokingly. “You were born a glutton—you just cannot stop eating!”
“Hehe!”
Qian Wanguan looked down at Jiang Yi’s groin. Sheepishly, he said, “Boss, you’re one to talk. You haven’t been able to control that bird between your legs either. I heard that the East Imperial Continent is filled with your women…”
