Eternal Saber-Chapter 390 - 99: Turbulent Seas (End of Volume 4)
In the vast sea of the north of Celestial Cauldron Continent, several majestic giant ships, like moving islands, sailed through the waves with the wind.
The large sails rolled like clouds, the ship’s body was intricately carved and painted, the dragon heads lifted high, and the phoenix tails swayed.
The decks of these giant ships were filled with the soldiers of Beihai Country, all prepared and with stern expressions.
Most striking was a person standing at the bow, hair disheveled, one hand holding a sword, the other forming a spell, stepping in a mysterious pattern, murmuring incantations.
Under the guidance of his long sword, dark clouds gathered in the sky, swirling without dispersing, as fierce winds howled, the sails tightened, and the ship moved like an arrow, racing towards the black-sailed sea ship ahead.
These techniques left countless soldiers greatly amazed.
This is the legendary mystic art!
It was said that this person was True Monarch Lingyun of Donglai Continent.
In the Profound Sect, above the Golden Core Realm is the Nascent Soul Realm.
Mystic Masters at this level are also called Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Apart from the soldiers of Beihai Country, there were also some Mystic Masters dressed in Taoist robes on these giant ships.
Compared to these giant ships of Beihai Country, the black-sailed sea ship where Chen Tang was seemed much smaller, like a fish or shrimp fleeing in panic on the sea surface.
And the several giant ships behind in pursuit, resembled giant beasts of the ocean, overwhelmingly imposing!
Murakumo Kyo looked at the old man in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Grandfather, I did lose to him, but there’s really no deep hatred, is there a need to go to such lengths?"
Murakumo Shichuan glanced at the Mystic Master stirring up the wind and clouds at the bow without showing any emotion, gathered his energy into a thread, and secretly transmitted: "Kyo, we’re putting on this display to give an explanation to Donglai Continent."
"Yang Ying’Er was going to marry you, and she was killed by this person; our Congyun Race cannot remain indifferent."
"But Yang Ying’Er..." Murakumo Kyo frowned, hesitating to speak.
He wanted to say that Yang Ying’Er’s death was brought on by her own actions.
But saying such things could easily bring trouble.
Murakumo Shichuan continued to secretly transmit: "Moreover, I just received a secret message from the Elder Council of Hermit Continent. This person stayed at the Hermit Continent for less than a month but killed hundreds of hermits, including several Upper Concealments, inciting the anger of the elders, urging us to make sure to keep him here."
"What?"
Murakumo Kyo was startled.
He knew what kind of place Hermit Continent was.
Even as the most talented heir of the Congyun Race in a hundred years, he dared not easily set foot in that place, let alone wreak havoc on the hermits’ territory.
In that case, Murong Haitang spared them some effort in their encounter.
Murakumo Shichuan said: "This person is of great importance; stopping him not only gives Donglai Continent an explanation but also does a favor for Hermit Continent. If it weren’t for this, why should I personally intervene?"
Murakumo Kyo fell silent.
The situation had reached this point, and his thoughts were no longer important.
As for Murong Haitang, she could only rely on her own luck.
On the other hand, on the giant ship of the Moon Night Race, the aged hand of Moon Night Warehouse tightly gripped the hilt at his waist, standing at the bow with a cold gaze.
Even without receiving the secret message from the Hermit Continent, he wanted to hold that person here.
His grandson couldn’t die in vain; someone had to pay with their life!
-----------------
At the shore of Celestial Cauldron Continent.
Amaterasu Senno, Amaterasu Chizuru, and a group of clansmen, along with many martial artists from various places on Celestial Cauldron Continent, craned their necks, watching the few pursuing giant ships in the distance with varied expressions.
"Looking at this situation, that Murong Haitang is definitely finished!"
"I expected this long ago, you see, he offended so many people in the Genius Battle, and still wanted to leave intact?"
"The Moonlit Sword is indeed ominous, the former Celestial Cauldron Continent Lord and yesterday’s Tsukiyama Tairou died violently, and Murong Haitang can’t escape this curse either."
"Heh, for this person to survive, he might have to beg for divine protection."
Listening to the discussions of the martial artists around, Amaterasu Chizuru sighed lightly.
Amaterasu Senno looked at his granddaughter’s somewhat lost expression and shook his head helplessly.
Receiving the Hermit Continent Elder Council’s secret message, he had originally planned to dispatch ships to pursue.
It was at Amaterasu Chizuru’s plea that he refrained from doing so.
But in reality, even without the involvement of the Amaterasu Race, Murong Haitang could hardly escape this calamity.
-----------------
Not far from the shore, within the City Lord’s Mansion, besides Ming Yue Wanderer, Shen Che and his daughter Shen Yu also took a boat, following the current, having just arrived here.
"Father, Uncle Wanderer, what about Brother Chen and the others?"
Shen Yu was full of anxiety and worry.
Shen Che appeared solemn.
He had already heard about the situation outside.
Beihai Country, Donglai Continent’s Mystic Masters, including Moon Night Country, had all sent warships to chase Chen Tang and others; it wouldn’t be long before they caught up!
Shen Che shook his head and said: "I have no way either; if I step in to save this person now, it would be tantamount to going to war with Beihai Country, Donglai Continent, and Moon Night Country at sea, which is really not worth it."
"Moreover, we simply cannot contend with the alliance of the three great forces."
Pausing, Shen Che added: "Moreover, there’s the secret message from the Hermit Continent’s Elder Council, a jointly issued pursuit order by the Four Great Elders, unprecedented."
"Uncle Wanderer..."
Shen Che turned to look at Ming Yue Wanderer.
Ming Yue Wanderer knitted his brows in silence.
Under such circumstances, he was also helpless.
No force could directly oppose the three great powers of Beihai Country, Donglai Continent, and Moon Night Country.
Moreover, if he acted, and fought with that True Monarch Lingyun, the outcome would be uncertain, and his identity might very likely be exposed.
By then, everything would escalate uncontrollably, implicating the Shen Family, and Lady Yun of Hermit Continent might also be affected.
