I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 737 Xue Li Voluntarily Steps Down

Being able to follow them without Yue Honghai and Shen Ying noticing means the other party's Dao practice is at least on par with theirs.

"Lu Lang?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "No worries, the other party is also a lone operator and shouldn't have any allies in the East Sea."

"Who?"

"Of course it's..."

Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed, and the Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor instantly covered his body. His figure turned into a dazzling stream of five colors, darting out for dozens of miles, and slashed towards the surface of the sea.

"Fellow Daoist Xue Li! What is your purpose in following us all this way?"

"Roar!"

A dragon chant resounded, and Dragon's Might filled the sky. Dozens of feet of sword Qi appeared out of nowhere, causing a crack in the sea water below, lowering the level by ten feet, and receded to both sides of the crack, revealing a Black Flood Dragon below the sea.

The Black Flood Dragon roared, its body twisted, and narrowly dodged the slash. In an instant, it flew into the sky, shook its body, and transformed into human form.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, wait, I have something to say!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Lu Zheng held his saber in the air, saying coldly, "Please speak, but if you can't justify yourself, don't blame Lu Mou for being merciless with his saber."

Meanwhile, Shen Ying took over the white cloud left by Lu Zheng, guarding everyone, while Yue Honghai drew his whip and saber, flanking Xue Li from either side with Lu Zheng.

Xue Li glanced at Yue Honghai and Lu Zheng, then at Lu Zheng's treasure saber and armor, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. He looked towards the others in the distance, blinked, and after some thought said, "Well, actually, I just wanted to go to the Central Plains to take a look..."

Seeing Lu Zheng about to make a move, Xue Li hurriedly explained, "But I've never been to the Central Plains myself, unfamiliar with the route, so seeing Fellow Daoist Yue familiar with the road, I shamelessly followed, to avoid accidentally causing trouble on the way."

Lu Zheng squinted his eyes, "Then why didn't you show yourself directly, instead of secretly tailing us?"

"After all, the Da Jing Court is extremely wary of the Northern Domain Demon Race, and my Profound Water Ink Jiao lineage is not insignificant in the Northern Domain. I just didn't want to cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Lu."

As he spoke, Xue Li got more fluent, "Moreover, I've only met Fellow Daoist Lu once before. If I appeared abruptly, I feared it might cause suspicion, so I just planned to follow all the way to the Central Plains and then leave on my own."

Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist's Dao practice is profound, spotting me at a glance, making me seem like a petty villain, truly sorry!"

Xue Li repeatedly cupped his hands, his attitude sincere.

Even though Xue Li's manner was earnest and genuine, neither Lu Zheng nor Yue Honghai let their guard down.

Everyone has been cultivating for hundreds of years, old sparrows, no matter how reasonable your explanation, doing something suspicious means you can't expect people to trust you so easily again.

"Old Yue, point the way."

Yue Honghai nodded, pointed in a direction and said, "Fly straight from here, and you won't pass through any Great Demon's territorial waters, and can safely reach the Central Plains coast."

"Great, great! Thank you, thank you!"

Xue Li repeatedly cupped his hands, then slowly retreated, showing respect and no threat.

As he retreated, Xue Li said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I was impolite this time, thank you Fellow Daoist for your tolerance and for pointing the way."

"You're welcome." Lu Zheng nodded, extending his hand in a gesture of invitation, signaling farewell, "Please!"

Xue Li bowed in thanks, seemed about to say something, but then withheld, then he flew into the water, leaving a trail of waves on the sea, quickly departing along the path Yue Honghai had just indicated.

"Gone?"

"Gone!"

"Was what he said just now likely a lie?"

"Definitely a lie."

"Then what does he mean?"

"Not quite sure, seems like probing our situation?"

"And then was frightened by Lu Lang?"

Everyone laughed at this, Lu Zheng now had a thousand years of Dao practice, coupled with the True Dragon Concealed Head Saber and Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor, further enhancing his combat prowess. Although Xue Li was not weak, he was clearly not Lu Zheng's match.

Everyone shook their heads, not concerning themselves further with Xue Li's matter, after all, they had already driven him away, and the previous incident hadn't reached the point of lethal force.

...

The journey was uneventful, and everyone quickly crossed the East Sea, passing several large islands, getting closer and closer to the Central Plains coast.

Yue Honghai looked far ahead and saw dark clouds gathering in the distance.

"There's another storm ahead."

Above the vast and boundless East Sea, the weather was ever-changing. Some places were calm and tranquil, some had towering waves, some were bright and sunny, and others had dark clouds and storms.

They had already encountered several storms on their return journey, twice due to magical combat, and three times due to natural weather.

When encountering magical combat, they detoured, and when it was natural weather, they went straight through.

As for this time...

"There are no signs of magical power, but the force is not small," Yue Honghai said.

As far as the eye could see, dark clouds covered the sky, shrouding a large portion of the heavens.

"Still, no worries... there's a ship?"

Shen Ying, sharp-eyed, immediately spotted a large ship at the edge of the storm's range, navigating through the surging waves.

Evidently, this ship had encountered the storm at sea, trying to outrun it but unable to outpace the storm's movement.

It was trapped within, currently trying to steer clear of the storm.

Though, seeing the fierce winds and high waves, the large ship appeared like a lone leaf among the waves. Without encountering Lu Zheng, it likely wouldn't last more than an incense stick's worth of time.

Lu Zheng shook his head, stepping forward to save them.

Lu Zheng had once saved a meteorological observation ship in modern times, but the circumstances then were different, so he was restrained, cautious not to reveal himself.

Here, it was different.

Lu Zheng activated his True Qi, and the cloud underfoot swiftly approached, a massive white cloud standing out in the dark sky.

Then, both the "Western Extreme Wind-Calling Curse" and "Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique" were simultaneously cast.

The next moment, the area within two or three miles around the big ship immediately became calm and tranquil.

"Done!"

The task was just that easy and enjoyable.

...

"Immortal! Immortal!"

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving us!"

The moment the white cloud appeared, it had already attracted the attention of everyone on the ship, a spark of hope igniting in their nearly despairing hearts.

And in just a moment, not far away was still shrouded in dark clouds, the seas turbulent, but around their merchant ship was serene, the waters calm.

They weren't fools; how could they not know they had encountered an Abnormal Person, and quite a powerful one at that.

So as soon as they were safe, everyone on the ship knelt down in unison, immediately expressing gratitude and immense thanks.

Lu Zheng nodded, no wonder so many people liked to show miraculous feats in public because it really felt good.

With that, he waved his hand.

The next moment, everyone felt as if there were hundreds of people paddling the ship, the waves surging at the stern, the surrounding sea water receding rapidly, and the dark clouds and storm in the sky getting further and further away from the big ship.

Soon, they were out of the storm's position, even far away, and the white cloud above drifted leisurely away.
