The White Python Spirit was instantly slain by a celestial rainbow, leaving Elder An and the strong man stunned. Upon looking up again, they saw two young won in white, identical in appearance, standing in mid-air, their sashes and sleeves fluttering elegantly in the wind, finally realizing what had transpired.
The strong man knelt respectfully, saying, "So it was the two Immortal Masters who ca to our aid. I, Xiao Tong, thank you on behalf of the three thousand soldiers here for your lifesaving grace."
Although Wang Caiting noticed his respectful deanor, there was no fear on his face, which suggested he was not unfamiliar with cultivators. She smiled faintly, "No need for thanks. I am here to inquire about sothing from you, dealing with this little snake was rely done in passing."
Elder An stepped forward to the bow of the ship, subtly shielding Xiao En behind him, and said in a deep voice, "No need to be modest. If the Immortal Master has questions, feel free to ask. I shall answer without reservation."
Within their Xiao Clan, many disciples had been admitted to the Immortal Gate, with frequent interactions, usually traveling via magic artifacts. Yet, to see soone so adept at flying freely was unheard of, realizing that the two won possessed extraordinarily high mana, thus acting with great caution.
Wang Caiting asked, "What is this area?"
Elder An showed a hint of surprise, but responded quickly, "To reply to the Immortal Master, three hundred li to the north and south and two hundred eighty li to the east and west, all fall under Jingyou National Boundary."
Wang Caiting wondered, "But within a thousand li, I see only one single island."
Elder An bowed deeply, saying, "The Immortal Master’s Dharma Eye is accurate; that island is where Jingyou Country is located."
Wang Caiting let out a light laugh, saying, "So that’s how it is. This Jingyou Country isn’t very big, is it?"
Elder An suddenly shed his timid deanor, raised his head, straightened his chest, and declared loudly, "While Jingyou Country is not vast in size, it has a population of thirty thousand, with over a dozen large ships. Among more than three hundred countries in the West Ji Sea Realm, it is considered one of the foremost."
Wang Caiting was slightly surprised, then seed to gain a realization, withdrew her smile, nodded, and asked, "Do you know how far East Victory Continent is from here?"
Elder An looked bewildered and shook his head, "Where is that? This old man has never heard of it."
At this ti, the strong man from behind chid in, "Is the Immortal Master speaking of the Great Chu Kingdom?"
Wang Caiting’s mind was sharp, thinking for a mont that this East Victory Continent might be unknown to these ordinary people. Thus, she turned her gaze to the strong man and said, "You speak."
The strong man slightly bowed and pointed in a direction, "If the Immortal Master wishes to find the Great Chu Kingdom, traveling sixteen thousand li east from here will bring you to the Great Chu Territory."
Wang Caiting, seeing that he spoke more graciously than Elder An, beca more interested and began asking questions from all directions. She was rarely in the Outer Continent’s domain, full of curiosity, listening to various anecdotes and tales with great interest, while Wang Caiwei, noticing her questions were of trivial nature, glared at her admonishingly, reminding, "Sister, don’t keep our Master waiting."
Wang Caiting stuck out her tongue, ceased her questioning, waved to the people below, and then took up the Xuan Guang, flying with Wang Caiwei to report back to the Dragon Country’s Ship.
Elder An watched the two leave, wiped the sweat from his forehead, ordered soone to bring a waterskin, drank a few gulps, and said, "These two Immortal Masters are certainly not from Xianluo City."
The strong man hesitated for a mont and said, "Recently, my elder brother ntioned upon returning to the estate: if any outer sea cultivators are seen, a report must be made. Elder An, what do you think..."
Elder An was silent for a mont, shook his head, and said, "Who knows what’s happening in the city. It’s no exaggeration to say these Immortal Masters saved our soldiers’ lives. Why cause trouble for them? Let’s just act as if we didn’t know."
The strong man nodded in agreent. He glanced at the subrged White Spirit Python Demon, excitedly saying, "Capturing this White Spirit Python Demon not only ensures we won’t need to go out to sea for at least two months but also serves as a satisfactory report."
Elder An also smiled but then his face turned stern, "Upon returning, we must find out who tried to harm you!"
At the mont, several li away, a flying boat was suspended in the sky, carrying three people. A middle-aged man of over forty, with an extraordinary deanor, looked displeased and said, "Manager Bai, who are these female cultivators? Didn’t you say that today all Immortal Masters in the immortal city are waiting for the Upper Sect emissary, and no one would be out?"
Behind him, the manager quickly bowed and said, "I dare not deceive you, Master. That is indeed the case. Those two Immortal Masters ca and went in haste. Judging by their attire, they don’t seem to be disciples of the Xianluo Sect. Perhaps they were rely passing by and lent Xiao San Lang a hand."
The middle-aged man slapped his flying boat in frustration, saying, "Xiao the Third truly is fortunate. Missing this chance, if we want to trouble the Xiao Family again, it will not be easy."
