Book 8: Chapter 2: You Are Wanted
Because of the interruption of elders of the Qingming Sword Sect, the three girls didn’t feel sleepy anymore.
So they simply freshened up and watched Bai Qiuran unpacking.
Bai Qiuran opened the gift box and found that it was filled with some medicinal materials. Each elder’s gift box contained one or two materials, which together happened to be the recipe of Longevity Pill.
Bai Qiuran really needed these things. He has owed 30 years of his life to Xue Ling, and he had to take medicine to make up for it.
This group of younger disciples was also interested.
He used these materials to refine a pot of pill, and after a few days, Bai Qiuran was about to set off and went to Fusang to find Jiang Lan.
He was going to bring Tang Ruowei to visit her teacher’s wife, but before setting off, he asked Su Xiangxue’s opinion.
As a result, not only Su Xiangxue wanted to go, but even Li Jinyao asked to go to Fusang, saying that she wanted to see it.
So he waited for a few more days, waiting for Su Xiangxue to take people back, throwing the sect affairs to her disciple You Meiqiao, and waiting for Li Jinyao to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect, ask for permission from Ji Lingyun or run away directly.
After everyone had gathered, Bai Qiuran took the three of them to the Demon Realm.
After the death of the first Demon Emperor, the demon clan lost its suppression in the coastal waters. In the original sea areas, powerful sea beasts above the integrative stage began to appear, hindering the passage of the demon clan merchant ships.
The current Demon Emperor and Prime Minister Yun organized a crusade several times, but a sea beast comparable to the Land Immortal appeared in the inner sea. With the current strength of the demon world, they could not do anything with that sea beast.
In order to avoid greater losses, the Demon Emperor can only be forced to change the course. Now the demon clan’s merchant ships are almost all sailing close to the coastline.
After hearing that Bai Qiuran and the others were going to the Fusang in the depths of the sea, the fleet of these monster races refused to go. As a last resort, Bai Qiuran could only buy a sea ship on the east coast of the monster world, according to the memory, driving towards the place where the sacred tree was originally grown.
Less than a few miles out of the sea, there was a dangerous giant shadow passing by under the waves.
“It feels so dangerous at sea…”
Tang Ruowei looked at the blade-like dorsal fin emerging from Taoshan, muttered palely.
“Are you afraid?”
Bai Qiuran asked:
“Mainly at sea.”
Tang Ruowei stared at the waves below.
“In the case of water warfare, compared to us, the sea beast must have an advantage.”
“Do not worry.”
Bai Qiuran pulled her back from the side of the boat.
“If you feel that you don’t know what to do, just don’t look at it.”
The sea beast nearby was besieged and suppressed by the Demon Emperor, so the strength was not very strong. They just wandered around for a while and then left.
The ship continued to move forward and finally encountered a powerful sea beast on the edge of the sea.
This sea beast’s limbs were all flippers, but with a tiger’s head on its head. Its body was huge, like a mountain suspended on the sea. It manipulated wind and thunder to shroud all the nearby sea in the storm, a bit similar to the power of the first Demon Emperor.
“Let me fix it.”
Seeing Bai Qiuran preparing to draw his sword, Su Xiangxue suddenly asked:
“It just so happens that I also test how strong my clone is.”
Bai Qiuran didn’t mean to disappoint Su Xiangxue. After agreeing to her, Su Xiangxue immediately radiated light from behind, and a woman who looked exactly like her appeared in the light, but this woman had long snow-white hair with dragon horns on her head. There were still some white dragon scales on her wrist and neck.
She opened her white eyes, then turned into a nine-headed winged white dragon and flew out, traversing the wind and rain, and fought with the powerful sea beast.
Although the cultivation level was a bit inferior, Su Xiangxue has the advantages of magical powers, spells, and exercises. The sea beast seemed to have only wild instincts. The two sides fought for a while, and the nine-headed white dragon sprayed wind, frost, rain, and snow, and quickly frozen the entire sea beast pack, then broke them with a tail swipe.
The blood of the sea beasts stained a large area of the sea. Many pieces of meat were frozen into icebergs and floated towards the ship. Li Jinyao drew out a pair of knives and smashed these huge icebergs with a knife, while Bai Qiuran quickly picked up a few good pieces of meat and threw them into his storage bag.
“Master, what are you doing?”
Seeing his behavior, Tang Ruowei asked.
“I have eaten this sea beast in the Heavenly Palace of god’s era.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“Although raw meat is sour and astringent, it is a rare delicacy after careful cooking, and you can eat it later.”
This kind of sea beast was also one of the few cooked foods at the banquet of the Heavenly Palace at that time. The taste of the gods at that time was far from that of Bai Qiuran, and they paid more attention to fresh and delicious flavors than blood.
Therefore, when Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan sometimes had to go to banquets, these kinds of foods that must be cooked to be delicious became one of the few salvations. Bai Qiuran remembered their types very clearly.
Su Xiangxue retracted her avatar, looked up at the sky, frowned, and said:
“It’s weird, the sea beast is dead, why hasn’t this storm gone?”
Bai Qiuran also looked up, and after looking for a moment, he frowned and said:
“Did someone take over control of this storm?”
Not long after speaking, Li Jinyao suddenly pointed to the wind and rain and shouted:
“Look, there are boats there!”
Everyone looked at the waves and found that a black galleon sailed out of the waves, riding the wind and waves, and then, behind it, there were countless boats of various sizes, but all of them were painted in dark black.
It was clearly a fleet, and it was aimed at them.
Bai Qiuran arched his hands towards the fleet and said loudly:
“Who is the one coming?”
His voice penetrated the wind and rain, and after a while, green ghost fires suddenly appeared on the fleet.
“what?”
Seeing this scene, Bai Qiuran was stunned:
“Ghost ships?”
“It’s me.”
A familiar voice came, and then the fleet accelerated collectively and quickly arrived in front of Bai Qiuran. Bai Qiuran glanced at it. The boat was full of ghosts dressed in black or white, with pale faces, while on the large boat headed by Xue Ling and his deputy Ming Ying.
The atmosphere at the scene was too heavy, even oppressing the wind and rain. Even the three human girls who could not see them at this moment clearly saw these differences.
“Qiu Ran, who are they?”
Su Xiangxue asked.
“Soul Takers.”
Bai Qiuran answered, then looked at Xue Ling.
“Why? Are you here to find a place? I’m sorry I should have already made up the missing lifespan. There is a problem with your Underworld’s own system. I won’t bear this.”
“It’s not because of that.”
Xue Ling stood on the collision corner of the ghost head on the bow.
“I’m here, there is one good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”
“Hmm… what’s the good news?”
“The good news is that your name has officially disappeared from the book of Life and Death.”
Xue Ling replied.
“Then why do you still bring others to stop me?”
Bai Qiuran disdainfully said:
“What’s the bad news?”
“The bad news is that you are at the top of the most wanted list in the Underworld. We don’t know who posted you. Anyway, it is the highest level of urgent, the highest level of encryption, and the command level of “Total Annihilation.”
Xue Ling said to Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran was silent for a while.
“Can you explain a little bit, what is the degree of such a wanted person?”
“No, no existence in history has reached your level.”
Xue Ling paused, then said:
“But there is a guy who is slightly inferior to you. He intended to assassinate the Immortal Emperor tens of thousands of years ago. After the assassination failed, he went to the Immortal Emperor’s place to insult the emperor by ravishing his concubines, and after another failure, he ran to the extreme east of the Immortal Realm. Eventually, he was defeated and his soul fled to the other lower realms. He was ordered to be wanted. All Soul Takers who were in charge of that lower realm were dispatched to arrest him and suppressed him in the Hell of Abi. He will never turn back.”
“and so……”
Bai Qiuran looked at him.
“So, sorry.”
Xue Ling waved the iron chain in his hand and shouted:
“Everyone listens to the order! Capture him at all costs!”
