"Luckily, we don’t have the ability to cause such a ruckus at the auction house," Bai Ruchang chuckled to himself, feeling sowhat fortunate.
The Two-Vortex Vortex Map would tempt anyone.
Honestly, if this weren’t Cloud Sea City, he might secretly make a move to snatch it and conveniently deal with the seller afterward, as would be expected. Fortunately, he couldn’t rob anything in Cloud Sea City, or else they would be the ones being beaten today.
A Mountain Suppression Realm getting involved in theft, losing out and getting beaten in return—if this news spreads, Dragon God Sect would beco a laughingstock.
After Bai Ruchang’s muttering, those pretenders of Four-star Influence were also whispering similar thoughts. Though their words were unclear, their expressions showed a sense of schadenfreude.
Of course, with such a commotion, Yang Xibi and Tuo Ying weren’t deaf; they naturally heard it clearly.
As the vines shot up tall, the two were already rushing over.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late.
By the ti they arrived, the battle was already over; the imnse figure had vanished, and Zui Sheng’s robust aura had dissipated. The two stood outside the deep pit, while the rest of Dragon God Sect’s mbers rushed in to search for Zui Sheng.
"Lord~"
Yang Xibi hadn’t expected things to turn out like this, imdiately looking at Tuo Ying, seemingly waiting for her command. anwhile, he also released his perception, searching for traces of the two Demon Kings.
"First, get Zui Sheng out... he’s lucky this ti; the opponent didn’t go for the kill," Tuo Ying gazed resentfully at the center of the deep pit in front, cursing Zui Sheng in her mind several tis over.
Already at Mountain Suppression Realm, yet still lacking prudence.
There were clearly many solutions to this issue, but he insisted on choosing the one he thought was the least labor-intensive; now he’s been publicly beaten and can’t even stand, losing face terribly.
If it were only his reputation at stake, it would be fine, but now it’s the entire Dragon God Sect’s face on the line. A Four-star Giant Influence becoming a stepping stone for soone else’s fa—just thinking about it is infuriating.
Beside him, Yang Xibi was searching for the aura of Da Gui and Xiao Gui. His Mountain Suppression Realm perception had scanned the surrounding streets and alleys several tis over. Unfortunately, no traces were found.
When their subordinates brought out Zui Sheng, Yang Xibi reluctantly said, "Lord, I can’t sense those two Demon Kings."
As he said this, he glanced at the bruised and swollen Zui Sheng, feeling a hint of displeasure in his heart.
Tuo Ying raised her hand, signaling for Yang Xibi not to continue because chasing a Mountain Suppression Realm Demon King was out of reach, and persisting in this matter held little value now.
Tuo Ying said, "Let’s leave now; treating Zui Sheng’s injuries is more crucial. His ridians are almost shattered under those two strikes... though the opponent didn’t kill him directly, it’s scarcely different from being killed."
"Understood."
Yang Xibi nodded, instructing his subordinates to quicken their pace, carrying Zui Sheng to the nearest inn.
Tuo Ying followed closely behind, though her mind was elsewhere; she was calm, so her thoughts weren’t about revenge right away.
But rather about the origin of the Immortal Sect!
"When did a mysterious sect erge in Barbaric Lands like Bright Mirror Lake and East Lake? Hosting two Mountain Suppression Realm Demon Kings, even among Four-star Influences, few can boast such power."
Thinking of this, Tuo Ying imdiately said to Yang Xibi, "Xibi, have people investigate this Immortal Sect; I want all information about them... they couldn’t have erged overnight out of nowhere!"
"Yes!"
Yang Xibi nodded.
However, after saying the previous words, Tuo Ying added a reminder this ti, "Don’t provoke Immortal Sect, at least not now! Don’t emulate Zui Sheng; he’s stood at the peak for too long and forgotten there’s always a taller mountain..."
"Understood." Yang Xibi nodded thoughtfully.
...
As for Wen Ping, after selling the Vortex Map in Cloud Sea City, he was off on a nonstop journey to East Lake.
Because the return journey just happened to et the upgrade conditions for the Five-leaf Sail.
After witnessing their abilities, Wen Ping didn’t feel as pained feeding White Crystal to Da Gui and Xiao Gui. After all, White Crystal can be earned again; currently, even if he gave them all the sect’s daily earnings, he could accept it.
Upon returning to the sect, Wen Ping imdiately stored the Flying Ship in the Flying Ship Construction House to start upgrading the sails, "System, help upgrade the Five-leaf Sail."
The world is so vast; if future travels rely on the Flying Ship, a faster speed is necessary.
Heaven and Earth Lake has 108 lakes; visiting Xuanse Lake takes ten days to half a month, and venturing further outside, or beyond Heaven and Earth Lake, wouldn’t require years?
The system’s voice appeared, "Upgrading Five-leaf Sail requires 300 White Crystals. Confirm whether to upgrade?"
"Upgrade!"
He has plenty of White Crystals now.
[Upgrade Successful!]
Just as the voice fell, a popup appeared in front of him.
Looking at the Flying Ship placed in the Flying Ship Construction House, the single sail had turned into five leaves; a large one in the center, four small on both sides. Entirely white, even without wind, they’re taut, exuding an aura of conquering the sea and hurricanes.
Seeing this, Wen Ping casually asked, "System, what’s required for the next upgrade of the Five-leaf Sail?"
"No restrictions, but to upgrade, the host must take the related task from the task hall."
"Understood."
He realizes there’s a necessity to accept one once he completes the current two tasks.
As a man, who wouldn’t desire greater speed?
"By the way, let’s check my task." As he prepared to leave the Flying Ship Construction House, Wen Ping suddenly realized.
He imdiately opened the task interface, scanning the completion progress of the "New Building Achievent Task."
"Fifty percent already, not bad!" It seems five people have already completed their tasks, "Achieving ten people this month shouldn’t be an issue, since there’s still half a month left."
tis the Enlightennt rate, like the Vortex Cannon, has been a constant itch in his mind.
Closing the task interface, Wen Ping walked out of the Flying Ship Construction House.
Outside, Qin Shan and his companions were waiting as scheduled.
"Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader."
Several bowed consecutively.
Wen Ping asked, "Any issues with the sect these past few days?"
Qin Shan responded, "Everything is fine; everyone is busy completing sect tasks; however, Elder Zhantian sent a letter to the sect, ntioning in their heart, wanting to know your stance on the Flying Fish Island matter. After all, it’s in East Lake."
"Flying Fish Island?"
Wen Ping raised an eyebrow, he would’ve forgotten if Qin Shan hadn’t ntioned it.
"Elder Zhantian’s intention is to assist the main line of the Qin family at Flying Fish Island, securing the Island Master’s position. Given it’s in East Lake, if they’re stable, the Qin family would certainly look toward our Immortal Sect, which would be beneficial for us." Qin Shan spoke, with a particular feeling in his voice.
He might think it’s inappropriate because of his surna Qin, so he kept avoiding Wen Ping’s gaze.
