Chapter 589A – Madame Sea

The sea waves bobbed up and down endlessly. For ten thousand miles around, the clouds were faint and the light was just right.

Without warning, wild winds whipped up, destroying the calm sea all around.

Rumble rumble –

The waves howled. In the skies above, space loudly exploded.

A black-robed figure staggered out. He spat a mouthful of blood and hacked out a cough.

He looked at his surroundings and his eyebrows stretched out in relaxation.

This was also good. Even though the spatial channel had been disrupted, he was still in the Land of Divinity and Demons.

He really was worried that he would be transported to some extremely dangerous place.

This black-robed figure was the man who had just escaped from the Chu Emperor’s grasp – Qin Yu.

Although he had run away in distress, out of the countless cultivators in this world, how many of them could directly face the Chu Emperor and the fully activated might of Ying Capital’s array formation and still leave intact? It was undoubtedly an extremely small number.

Qin Yu suppressed the tumbling in his chest, a happy smile on his face.

Although his wounds weren’t heavy, it was always good to be cautious. He didn’t want all of his plans to fail miserably just as he reached large success in his abilities.

Bang –

His figure descended downwards, sinking into the sea like a stone.

…

Black clouds piled up, so thick they covered the skies. Thunder roared within as a torrential rain poured down. A 10,000 foot ship bobbed up and down in the wavy seas. Countless sailors ran all over the deck, their shouts covered by the sounds of the rough seas.

Controlling the outer deck, a petite figure held onto the railings as she looked at the stormy sea, a quiet expression on her face.

Rainwater soaked her dress, causing the material to cling tightly to her and reveal a mouth-watering body. Several people behind her kept their heads lowered, not even daring to look up at her.

She seemed to be a charming woman, but if she was able to become the captain of her own ship, no one here dared to underestimate her…moreover, Madame Sea’s infamous reputation had spread out far and wide. Many people had tried to swallow her up these past years, but in the end they all suffered miserable fates.

“Send out orders: lay down the anchor!” The woman’s voice was cold and chilling, carrying with it the dignity of a superior.

Her subordinates hurried to heed her command. They turned and moved about the turbulent hull like a pack of agile monkeys.

Soon, there was the sound of loud rumbling gears. The ship had two anchors, one at the bow and one at the stern. They rapidly dropped down, stabilizing the ship.

But the situation still didn’t look good. The storm had no signs of fading away, and instead became increasingly terrifying.

The great ship started to emit creaking sounds, indicating it was reaching its limits. If things continued along this trajectory, the ship would eventually break apart.

At the front, the woman was silent. She gripped the railing with both hands, her fists turning white from the strength she used.

On the deck, the sailors could no longer attend to the cargo. They desperately clung onto whatever they could, their faces filled with fear.

Just as it seemed that disaster would soon arrive, the boundless black clouds up above disappeared like mist beneath the hot sun, all of it vanishing in a single breath of time.

When the strong winds disappeared, the wild seas calmed down. The tyrant-like sea now seemed like a docile sheep.

A group of cultivators appeared in midair. Their eyes were faint and cold. They looked down at the shocked people below like spiritual gods from up high.

“Several days ago, a giant fireball appeared in the skies. Part of it fell in this sea region. Have any of you witnessed this?” A cultivator asked. His voice was strengthened by his cultivation and it crashed into the ears of those below, causing their minds to shake.

The sailors with weaker cultivations pitifully cried out. Blood flowed from their ears and they fainted.

Madame Sea was pale white. She resisted the fear in her heart and bowed, saying, “I respectfully greet senior immortals! Five days ago, there really was a fireball that fell from the skies and headed towards the southeast. However, because of our weak cultivations none of us were able to investigate it. I ask that you respected immortals forgive us.”

In midair, the cultivators revealed a look of pleasant surprise. It seems that their calculations were correct. A part of the divine stone really did fall here.

The one leading the group of cultivators was clearly an old man in purple robes. His eyes crept over Madame Sea’s body for some time before he waved his hand and said, “Besides this woman, kill everyone else.”

This was the only group of people they had found who had seen the approximate direction in which the divine stone fell. Since they had obtained the news they wanted, they naturally wouldn’t permit these people to continue living and allow others to find out what they did.

It had to be known that there were many people like them who were now scouring this sea region for the divine stone.

Madame Sea turned deathly pale, “Immortals, please show mercy…”

But why would any of them listen to her? An invisible strength arrived, directly imprisoning her. In the next moment, sword light erupted like a brilliant lotus and swept over the ship. Wherever it passed, a thick stench of blood followed.

“Let her go.”

An ice cold voice came from behind. The purple-robed old man’s complexion changed. He turned and saw a black-robed youth standing not even a hundred feet away from him.

This person had been so close and yet he hadn’t noticed him until he had spoken. The purple-robed old man’s scalp tingled and he immediately raised a hand to stop his subordinates.

After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, “I am from the Demonic Path’s seventh branch division, Ecstasy Union Sect’s Chao Yunshan. I have no idea where fellow daoist comes from, but why interfere in the business of my Demonic Path?”

The black-robed youth narrowed his eyes. “Let her go!”

Seeing that this youth was evading the conversation and not mentioning his origins, Chao Yunshan’s words turned a little colder. “We are here upon the command of the Holy Land to search this sea region. Fellow daoist is making things difficult for me without reason – could it be that you wish to provoke the dignity of the Demonic Path?”

Hearing these words, Qin Yu felt as if he ate a fly. He flicked his sleeves and slapped Chao Yunshan. Chao Yunshan’s cheeks swelled and he was sent tumbling away.

“If you dare to threaten me, even if I kill all of you here not a single person will speak up on your behalf.”

He was the solemn Holy Son of the Demonic Path, the soon to be master of the Holy Palace. To kill a few trivial branch sect cultivators was no different from crushing ants.

These words were completely unhesitant. It was because of this that everyone could feel the energy behind them.

After being shocked to anger, a cold bucket of water had suddenly been poured atop his head. Chao Yunshan paled. His intuition told him that this mysterious young man wasn’t joking.

Just who was this person?

Even though Chao Yunshan’s cheek was burning hot and his lips twitched, he still squeezed out a smile and said, “Senior, please don’t lose your temper. Even if I had the courage of the heavens, I would never dare to offend you. This is a misunderstanding, all of it is a misunderstanding…” He turned and coldly shouted, “You damned bastards, hurry up and release that madam!”

Although his heart dripped blood, he knew he wasn’t mistaken. Even though this woman’s cultivation wasn’t anything to speak of, she was a natural born human furnace.

Right now she only practiced some unorthodox plundering techniques. If he taught her well, she would surely become top quality and be helpful to his future.

Unfortunately, this person had targeted her. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only offer her up with both hands.

One couldn’t blame Chao Yunshan for this thinking. After all, why else would such a formidable character like this mysterious youth waste his time here?

Since he decided to interfere, he must have a goal. This woman was the best reward for doing so.

Madame Sea looked up at Qin Yu, an absent-minded look in her eyes. But soon she lowered her head and revealed a terrified expression.

To her, this was escaping the wolf’s nest to enter the tiger’s lair. She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to her.

As for escaping? That was no different from suicide. Chao Yunshan and these people all had the ability to scatter storms. Eliminating everyone else on the ship had been as easy as waving a hand. Moreover, there was an even more terrifying character here.

Chao Yunshan hollowly laughed several times. “If senior has no other instructions, I will bid my farewells first.”

Qin Yu was expressionless. “Wait a moment.”

Chao Yunshan’s smile stiffened. He cautiously said, “I wonder what instruction senior has?”

Qin Yu asked, “You didn’t come here from so far away without reason. What are you looking for?”
