Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

#660 - Detours (big chapter asking for monthly tickets)

In the Longyuan Sea, the endless seawater churned with terrifying waves.

Endless roars also spurred countless demonic beasts to head towards the Yin Shark Abyss.

At this moment, a spirit shuttle, almost the same color as the seawater, traveled along the seabed.

This spirit shuttle was made from the skin of a blue killer whale.

Its color usually blends with the sea, making it impossible to detect without using divine sense.

Moreover, all the great demons and demonic beasts were under the command of the Demon Emperor.

Even if they noticed the spirit shuttle at this moment, they would not go down into the sea to cause trouble.

Compared to humans, these demonic beasts were clearly simpler-minded, fearing that they would be slow and incur the Demon King's wrath afterward.

Inside the spirit shuttle were Ye Xuefu and Ye Haihe.

Although the two had fled into the Longyuan Sea, their brows were tightly furrowed.

"Ninth Uncle, we're back, but what about Second Uncle?" Ye Haihe couldn't help but worry.

That day, through Ye Jingcheng's White-Browed Azure Wolf and the needle-like attacks of the Bai and Qing families, they successfully obtained one of the curved roots of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, still bearing some ginseng roots, and then fled the scene.

During their escape, they also discovered that the White-Browed Azure Wolf's wind circle ability could control the waves, increasing their speed.

Coupled with the Three-Essence Blood Escape secret technique, they successfully escaped.

Surprisingly, neither the Bai family nor the Qing family pursued them.

Of course, they also knew that the original Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng had nine curved roots, like nine seeds, with a certain probability of growing into a true Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

But in reality, even if all nine were cultivated under perfect conditions, at most only three or four might grow into complete Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

More often than not, cultivation would fail.

Countless sects had verified this.

Therefore, when they took it, they specifically chose one close to the main root's tendrils, which had a higher chance of growing into a complete Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

At the same time, the Bai and Qing families would not chase after them for these uncertain curved roots.

Because the most important part of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng was the ginseng itself. Losing a few tendrils would indeed affect the medicinal effect, but not significantly.

"Your Second Uncle will naturally be blessed with good fortune. Moreover, he also took an ancient treasure this time, as well as an incarnation, and a spiritual treasure to guard his soul. Combined with the formation we set up earlier, the chances of him having problems are not high!" Ye Xuefu replied after a moment of silence.

Although he said so, he was well aware that Ye Xuecang was with those Golden Core cultivators, and now there was even the aura of a Nascent Soul.

Clearly, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Qing and Bai families were secretly following.

Ye Xuecang's escape was much more difficult than theirs.

The difference between Golden Core and Nascent Soul was even greater than the difference between Golden Core and Qi Training.

Ye Xuecang had to escape from two Nascent Souls.

The danger involved was clear just thinking about it.

Ye Haihe nodded upon hearing this. Although he could joke around on normal days, he wasn't particularly good at comforting people. At this critical moment, what else could he do besides praying in his heart?

Besides, they weren't truly safe yet, as they were still in the Longyuan Sea, not yet in the Luoyun Islands sea area.

This sea area was a long and narrow stretch, without even a single island.

One of them was a wind-attribute body cultivator, and the other was a fire-attribute alchemist, but neither was particularly skilled at fighting in the sea.

Ye Haihe spoke a few more words, then calmly took out a blood leech spirit compass and began to study it.

These blood leeches were naturally the blood leech plate refined by Ye Xuefan in combination with Ye Haifei's blood leeches, which could be used to monitor the aura of nearby blood leeches using half of the mother's body.

It had also played a significant role in the Ye family's operation this time.

"Someone's coming?" Ye Haihe suddenly said.

These words made Ye Xuefu's heart clench.

The person appearing now was either a Violet Palace cultivator, a Golden Core cultivator, or even possibly a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If they encountered them, the chances of something bad happening were very high!

After all, just one ginseng root was reason enough.

"No, not Fourth Order!" Their divine sense couldn't observe it yet, but the blood leeches could.

After observing for a while, Ye Haihe took out some Azure Lantern Fish from his spirit beast pouch.

These Azure Lantern Fish were naturally left behind by the spirit shuttle because they were too slow, but through beast communication, he could sense that divine sense was covering these Azure Lantern Fish.

"He's been monitoring the sea area where our spirit boat is moving, so we can't sense the divine sense. Moreover, the other party's divine sense is clearly stronger than ours, able to perfectly control the distance, preventing us from sensing it while still being able to sense us!"

Ye Haihe calculated the distance again.

He discovered that the other party's cultivation had at least the divine sense of a late-stage Violet Palace cultivator.

Otherwise, even the divine sense of a mid-stage Violet Palace cultivator wouldn't be able to monitor them so perfectly.

"It's probably Huang Yuanan from Returning Jade Gate, or Zi Qingming from the Zi family of the Crimson Cloud Sea," Ye Haihe speculated.

The former was a mid-stage Violet Palace cultivator, but had the divine sense of a late-stage Violet Palace cultivator, considered a Third-Order High-Grade Artifact Refiner, whose divine sense was higher than his cultivation.

The latter was a blatant difference in cultivation, completely able to use the difference in divine sense to track them.

"They probably haven't seen us yet. The Azure Lantern Fish I just released seemed to have been attracted by the Demon Emperor!"

"Moreover, this is the Longyuan Sea, easy to be blocked. They won't attack here!" Ye Haihe suggested again.

The two looked at each other and nodded. Then, they waited for a while, and after feeling that the person behind them hadn't noticed the strangeness of the Azure Lantern Fish.

They took out two puppets and placed them inside the spirit shuttle, then inputted a lot of true essence, allowing the spirit shuttle to automatically swim towards the front of the sea.

The speed didn't decrease at all.

But in an instant, the two of them jumped out of the spirit shuttle and used Water Escape to conceal their figures, heading towards the surface of the sea.

After reaching the surface of the sea, the two chose another direction.

"Sea Crane, head towards the Heavenly Cloud Sea Region, then turn towards the Falling Cloud Sea Region. Create a time difference and catch up behind them!" Ye Xuefu also suggested.

The three archipelago sea regions that the Longyuan Sea Region leads to are the Heavenly Cloud Sea Region, the Falling Cloud Sea Region, and the Scarlet Cloud Sea Region.

Their initial plan was to use the Falling Cloud Islands as their escape route.

If they switched to the Scarlet Cloud Sea Region, there would be just as many dangers, and they wouldn't be as familiar with the route.

Turning towards the Heavenly Cloud Sea Region would likely lead to encountering the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators of the Azure River Sect.

If things went smoothly, the Profound River Boundless Sword Formation Beast Souls of the Azure River Sect would almost be complete by now.

Of course, this was on the premise that the Azure River Sect cultivators were tough enough.

If they weren't tough enough, they might end up providing enough rations for those demon beasts.

Therefore, regardless of which option, they couldn't go to the Heavenly Cloud Islands, nor could they meet up with Ye Jingyu.

The best option was to first head towards the Heavenly Cloud Islands, and once enough time had passed, circle around behind the pursuing cultivators and enter the Falling Cloud Islands Sea Region. Then, through the Falling Cloud Islands, they could sneak into a planned merchant fleet and return to the Heavenly Horse Sea Region.

Once there, they could safely return to the Eastern Region.

Although it would take some time, it would greatly increase their safety.

"If it's Huang Yuan'an, Ninth Uncle, I think we can give it a try. He also has a 'Curved Root' in his possession!" Ye Haihe then spoke up.

One 'Curved Root' was not enough to guarantee safety. This Huang Yuan'an had also seized one 'Curved Root'.

With their two Violet Palace Initial Stage cultivators, plus the Violet Palace Middle Stage Star-Eyed Iron Ape and the Violet Palace Middle Stage White-Browed Azure Wolf and Savage Fire Azure Bull, they might be able to kill Huang Yuan'an.

Even if Jade Return Gate added one or two more Violet Palace cultivators, they could still kill him.

"Sea Crane, that's out of the question!" Ye Xuefu directly interrupted.

His gaze was particularly stern, and even Ye Haihe felt a little apprehensive when he saw it.

This wasn't due to the difference in cultivation, but the authority of an elder.

"Even if Huang Yuan'an is alone, it's a trap. He has seen our cultivation, and he has seen the White-Browed Azure Wolf and the Star-Eyed Iron Ape. The only thing he hasn't seen is my Savage Fire Azure Bull. If he dares to chase after us alone, he naturally has a trump card!" Ye Xuefu said directly.

"Sea Crane, the reason we took action to snatch it before was because we couldn't be different from everyone else before the great chaos began, otherwise we would easily become a target!"

"So we had to follow, and we couldn't let the Bai family get the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng's transformed spirit body and original body all to themselves!"

"That would create an imbalance!"

"But now, if we take action, besides misjudging our strength and being killed instead, we might also attract the attention of the Bai and Qing families."

"For the sake of a 'Curved Root', losing our original 'Curved Root', or even exposing the family, is completely not worth it!" Ye Xuefu said in a series of statements, and Ye Haihe immediately blushed.

He repeatedly admitted his mistake, knowing that he had been greedy.

Especially after obtaining the White-Browed Azure Wolf, he felt that his strength had somewhat inflated.

… …

Heading towards the Falling Cloud Sea Region, an even larger spirit shuttle was also breaking through the waves.

On top of the spirit shuttle, there were unusually few people, only one person.

This person was not only leisurely watching the spirit shuttles passing by in the distance, but also holding a mirror, carefully observing.

Through the mirror, he could even easily see the sea lines cut open by a spirit shuttle.

By observing these water wave sea lines, he could know where the spirit shuttle in front was heading.

How many people were on it, and what the speed limit was.

He also took out a spirit map, and when the spirit map was unfolded, his gaze fell on the outermost Heavenly Nail Island of the Falling Cloud Islands in the distance.

This Heavenly Nail Island is a gateway island of the Falling Cloud Islands. Its reputation is not great, and it has no spiritual veins, but it is indeed a symbolic island that marks the end of the Longyuan Sea Region.

Moreover, at the same time, starting from here, it is not particularly far from the Scarlet Cloud Islands.

It is considered the best ambush location.

After killing these two Violet Palace cultivators from the Yun family, he can escape to the Scarlet Cloud Islands.

As for Jade Return Gate, Huang Yuan'an was a little afraid to go back. After all, this time he had completely offended the Qing and Bai families.

Moreover, True Person Yellow Spring had also sent him a voice transmission, telling him to rush to Flame Sand Island in the Scarlet Cloud Islands after obtaining the ginseng root.

On that island, there was a friend of True Person Yellow Spring, a reclusive Golden Core cultivator from the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

With the protection of True Person Flame Sand, Jade Return Gate could be considered to have truly obtained the 'Curved Root' of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

With decades or hundreds of years of hard work in the future, they might be able to impact the Nascent Soul forces and become a Nascent Soul sect.

"That's not right!" But soon, he murmured.

He suddenly discovered, how could the speed of the Yun family's spirit shuttle in front still be affected by the sea breeze and waves, with the speed sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the spiritual light seemed to be dimming.

This was clearly an automatically controlled spirit shuttle!

He took out a jade talisman and sent a voice transmission, then probed forward with his divine sense.

When he saw two puppets piloting a fourth-order spirit boat and several high-grade spirit stones, he felt like vomiting blood.

He couldn't help but accelerate in his hand, and when he caught up with the spirit shuttle, he slashed the spirit shuttle fiercely with a sword.

The spirit shuttle immediately broke open a big hole, and countless seawater poured into it.

The sword continued to fly in, killing the two second-order puppets as well.

"How could this be!" Huang Yuan'an clenched his fists, his face quickly changing from doubt to anger!

And from inside the spirit boat, four Violet Palace cultivators suddenly walked out.

It turned out that in addition to the three Violet Palace cultivators from Jade Return Gate, there was also a Violet Palace cultivator from the Zi family.

"They may have escaped to the Heavenly Cloud Islands. This Yun family is really cunning!" Huang Yuan'an couldn't help but say angrily.

The others also looked helpless when they saw this scene.

"Then let's go directly to the Scarlet Cloud Islands, otherwise if the Qing and Bai families are blocking us in front, we will all die!" The Violet Palace cultivator from the Zi family immediately suggested.

Although Huang Yuan'an was unwilling to admit it and believe it, it was already like this, and he had no choice but to nod.

The spirit shuttle immediately turned and headed away.
