The group temporarily stayed on a reef island, where the space was fairly spacious. Everyone sat down, ditating quietly. Although they couldn’t absorb nature’s spiritual energy to restore their elental power, the elixirs distributed by Ling Feng were enough to sustain them for a while.
Nightfall descended.
Everyone tried to restrain their aura as much as possible. They were already very close to Heavenly Pool Island, and no amount of caution was too much.
At this mont, Ling Feng and Lou Qianzhong simultaneously opened their eyes.
Because they sensed several rather powerful auras rapidly approaching.
"Ling Feng, did you sense it too?"
Lou Qianzhong’s eyelids twitched slightly as he frowned and said, "Is it those monsters from Heavenly Pool Island?"
"Probably not. There’s none of that nauseating aura. It seems to be cultivators like us!"
Ling Feng squinted his eyes slightly. In this Miracle Sea, apart from them and those monsters from Heavenly Pool Island, the only people with cultivation would likely be those cultivators brought by the Desolate Sea Venerate!
"What a narrow world this is!"
Ling Feng’s expression beca stern. At this mont, just untily, they encountered the people from the Murong Family!
...
Amidst everyone’s gaze, a completely black flying boat was speeding towards them. The flying boat had significant damage, with smooth cut edges, as if it had been effortlessly devoured by sothing; it was shocking to behold.
On the deck of the flying boat stood twelve cultivators, most of them at the early stage of the Human Emperor level.
Leading them was a graceful woman with beautiful features, who looked slightly haggard at the mont. The cultivators behind her seed quite battered as well, with one person even gravely injured, having an arm completely severed.
Beside the young lady stood a white-haired middle-level Human Emperor, carrying a longsword on his back. His breathing was also slightly rapid, though he was in much better condition than the others.
The elder furrowed his brow deeply, staring at the young lady, and said in a deep voice, "Lady Murong, wasn’t it said that the Desolate Sea Venerate can sense the appearance of ti-space rifts in advance? Now it seems it’s not that easy, huh!"
Several other Human Emperors nearby also showed obvious traces of anger, with a feeling of having been deceived.
Originally, they thought that following the Desolate Sea Venerate would allow them to safely enter the Miracle Sea, but they hadn’t even begun treasure hunting and had already lost two people, while the Desolate Sea Venerate was still battling a monster that appeared halfway!
"Senior, my ancestor has already explained, this ti the situation seems a bit different. The frequency of the ti-space rifts has increased several tis compared to previous years! But so far, the losses are still within acceptable limits, right?"
Murong Zining quickly comforted the sowhat impatient martial artists on the deck, "Treasure hunting in the Secret Realm naturally cos with risks. Rest assured, once we reach the secret treasure, the returns will be unimaginable!"
Hearing Murong Zining’s words, the crowd’s emotions were evidently soothed quite a bit.
In the crowd, Yang Huanzhi still felt a bit overwheld with fear. Among everyone, his cultivation was the lowest, and his value was the smallest. In the next encounter with danger, would he be the one abandoned?
Thinking of this, Yang Huanzhi felt a pang of regret in his heart. Knowing it would turn out like this, nothing could have made him get involved!
Beside Yang Huanzhi, Di Xuan maintained an extrely cold expression throughout. Although he had just reached the Human Emperor level recently, he managed to resist a mont of the ti-space rift by relying on his sword array technique. However, as a consequence, six of his nine Purple Cloud Divine Swords were devoured by the ti-space rift, significantly reducing his overall strength.
Seeing that everyone had cald down, Murong Zining continued, "Moreover, along the way, my ancestor has been doing his utmost to protect everyone. Neither the ti-space rifts nor those bizarre demons have caused us significant losses, while those cultivators trying to sneak into the Miracle Sea without the Tianlan Sea Token have probably already been wiped out by the ti-space rifts."
Jian Liang nodded slightly, a cold gleam flickering in his eyes, "I don’t wish for that Ling Feng to die too easily! If he falls into my hands, I will make him understand what it ans to wish for death over life!"
Just then, Jian Liang’s gaze fell on a nearby reef island, and he sneered coldly, "Lady Murong, it seems so people have entered the Miracle Sea without the guidance of the Desolate Sea Venerate and have even arrived earlier than us!"
Murong Zining’s face stiffened, and she cried out in surprise, "This... this can’t be!"
Following Jian Liang’s gaze, she saw several martial artists sitting cross-legged on a massive rock ahead.
And one of them instantly ignited her fury!
Ling Feng!
That guy who first toyed with her on Tianhuan Island and then later harassed her under the alias Long Fei!
As the saying goes, enemies eting face to face, their eyes blaze with anger. Murong Zining felt her rage about to burst from her chest.
In contrast to her fury, Yang Huanzhi suddenly felt a rush of excitent, almost as if awakened, his whole being afire.
"Boss Ling!"
Yang Huanzhi nearly couldn’t stop himself from jumping off the ship and rushing over to Ling Feng.
"I knew it! How could Boss Ling just give up, this guy indeed managed to sneak into the Miracle Sea."
Seeing Ling Feng put Yang Huanzhi’s heart at ease, finally releasing the tension that had built up.
However, Yang Huanzhi quickly thought of a serious problem.
Both Jian Liang and Murong Zining had deep-seated grudges against Ling Feng.
And behind Murong Zining was the Desolate Sea Venerate. While the others were manageable, the Desolate Sea Venerate was a Peak Emperor!
Although the Desolate Sea Venerate had been held off by a monster with wings, it wouldn’t be long before he caught up.
Was Ling Feng’s strength enough to face this kind of confrontation?
The flying boat raced ahead. Noticing Murong Zining’s change, Jian Liang followed her gaze and, upon seeing Ling Feng, a vicious smile spread across his face.
"Well, well, I’ve finally found you! Since you didn’t die in the ti-space rift, it’s fate that you should die by my hand!"
Jian Liang cursed under his breath, while Jian Xibai clenched his fist tightly, gritting his teeth, "Father, today we can finally avenge Chen’er!"
Back on Tianhuan Island, Ling Feng killed Jian Chen. If not for the Great Elder’s repeated intervention, they would have attacked Ling Feng sooner.
As a result, they chased him from Tianhuan Island all the way to the Deserted City, and from the Deserted City to the Miracle Sea, they finally caught up!
