"Summon the Flying Boat out, and I will let you down first. Rember, you must not touch the sea surface here; you can only operate at a height of three to five ters above the sea."
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon explained in detail, fearing the "Brother Honglei" before him might perish here.
"Alright."
Ji Yuan agreed, and the Wind Willow Flying Boat flew out from his Storage Bag, growing larger with the wind, finally landing beneath his feet and allowing him to stand steadily on it.
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon gradually released his grip.
Ji Yuan hurriedly rubbed his neck, having been pinched all the way. Damn, he almost got strangled to death.
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon laughed awkwardly, "It’s due to the circumstances; I hope Brother Honglei understands."
"No problem, didn’t I kill you once as well?"
Ji Yuan shook his head as he spoke.
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon: "..."
"A word of advice, a great taboo here is that one can only move forward, never backward, Brother Honglei should not dwell on it."
...Really?
I’m not so sure.
Ji Yuan had dealt with these old-tirs quite a bit and discovered this issue.
Most things out of their mouths... eight out of ten sentences are false.
"Don’t worry."
Ji Yuan stood firm, then took a few Spirit Stones out of his Storage Bag to hold in his hand, restoring his own Spiritual Qi, "Where to go next?"
Just then, the severed hand stopped on Ji Yuan’s shoulder, using its index and middle fingers to stand like legs.
"Head southeast for ten ters... Fellow Daoist, it’s better to use sothing to explore the way; honestly, after so many years, I don’t know if the sea route is still clear."
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon suggested.
"Alright."
Ji Yuan imdiately took a wooden dummy out of his Storage Bag, letting it drift in front to explore the way.
The southeast direction... The dummy floated that way, all clear without danger, until it reached the position the Sea-Crossing Old Demon ntioned.
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon was about to speak when Ji Yuan let the dummy float a bit further, until it flew two ters ahead and suddenly shattered.
"Tsk, Brother Honglei still doesn’t trust , huh?"
"No, I’m just wanting to test the strength of the Astral Wind."
Ji Yuan said as he took another dummy out of his Storage Bag, placing it in front to explore the way, while he slowly followed behind.
"Enough, no need to probe, I’ll lead the way; we are sure to reach Jiyuan Continent smoothly, the path ahead hasn’t changed, so the path behind won’t change either."
"Alright."
Ji Yuan’s flying speed was extrely slow, his mind spinning wildly.
No more moving forward; if he continued deeper, even if Hua Yaoyue ca to save him, it would be difficult... he could only stop here, as this place was surely safe.
"Hurry up, Brother Honglei, don’t delay."
"No, I’m scared, my legs are a bit weak..." Before Ji Yuan finished speaking, a fishnet-like Magical Treasure suddenly appeared on his shoulder, heading directly to net the severed hand.
"Scoundrel!"
The Sea-Crossing Old Demon cursed and fled frantically.
Ji Yuan took advantage of the situation to net himself with the Thunder Net; if that guy dared co to strangle him again, the Thunder Net would counterattack and capture him!
At the sa ti, Ji Yuan activated the Celestial Poison Needle from his Storage Bag.
The Poison Needle turned into a green light, arriving instantly.
The severed hand retreated along the original path, and seeing this, Ji Yuan knew he was just bluffing; who says one can arrive but not retreat?!
This ti, being extrely close, Ji Yuan used the Magical Treasure again.
Adding that the Sea-Crossing Old Demon, having suffered from the attack of the Spiritual Energy Cannon, was already at the end of his strength.
The Celestial Poison Needle struck, nailing the palm of the severed hand, instantly driving it into the Astral Wind.
"Argh!!!"
A painful scream echoed, and the severed hand visibly transford into a skeletal hand, finally dispersing completely in the Astral Wind with the Divine Soul it tried to escape with.
Only a section of finger bone and the damaged Celestial Poison Needle remained in place.
Not even Astral Wind could harm it, quite an item!
Ji Yuan quickly used the damaged Celestial Poison Needle to retrieve the finger bone, grabbing it tightly!
