Chapter 435 - Right-angle Bay

Chapter 435: Right-angle Bay
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao recuperated at the bottom of the sea for a month. However, for the entire month, he hid his body, controlled his breathing and never went out. His current understanding of the Sea Area was merely based on his inference from a passing demon’s words.
However, judging from how the demons frequently passed by here, it must be the main traffic passageway.
Indeed it was a traffic passageway. Zhou Bao’s body was entirely covered in a black robe. His Demonic Qi was sharp and his Yin Qi was rich. After Zhou Bao transformed his Real Essence into the Demonic Qi of the Dragon Chimera, he began to feel much more comfortable in water, as if he was a fish in the sea.
Along his journey, he met a few passing demons. Although those demons were not able to see his depth, they could easily sense the Demonic Qi from his body. All of them maintained a cautious attitude and scrambled away.
The world of the Sea Area was not a peaceful one. Killing demons and robbing treasures were common occurrences. For a suspicious-looking person like Zhou Bao who roamed alone in the sea, it either meant that he was crazy or he had strong strength. When one was faced a person like him, it was best to keep a distance.

You, come here!

Several demons ran away when they saw Zhou Bao, which made him a little mad. Three demons just passed by him. He furiously pointed at the fastest one. As he spoke, a gust of amorphous energy traveled towards the demon of approximately Level Eight cultivation and locked him down.
The trapped demon twitched about furiously like a fish and cried,
Have mercy on me. Senior Immortal, have mercy on me!’
As for the other few demons who walked together with him, they ran away like the wind, leaving their unfortunate buddy there.

The demons undersea are damn realistic,
Zhou Bao said in a low voice. As he looked at the demon who had a runny nose from crying, he said,
Don’t worry, I have no intention to harm you!

When he was speaking, he lifted his hand and brought the demon to a secret place.

Whatever orders the Senior Immortal may have, I will see through it even if I have to risk my life! I will never refuse!
After hearing Zhou Bao’s amicable tone, the demon gradually began to feel at ease.

I came from another Sea Area to seek someone here. I am not familiar with the people and places here. Tell me the situation in this Sea Area detailedly. If you give a good introduction, I will not punish you. If you try to conceal anything from me, I have a thousand ways to make you suffer!
As Zhou Bao finished his sentence, his voice revealed a chilling Demonic Qi, almost freezing the spirit of the demon instantly.

I don’t dare, I don’t dare!
The demon assured hastily.

What is your name?!


Small Hun IV!


Hun IV?!


I rank number four at home, so I’m called Hun IV,
the demon shared with great regard. Seeing a flash of confusion on Zhou Bao’s face, he began to detailedly share the history of his name (the story is omitted here).
Hearing the boring story, Zhou Bao regretted that he randomly picked a demon who was like Tang Monk.
Interrupting the demon who was still giving a never-ending introduction of his background, Zhou Bao said,
Stop talking about your damn things. Tell me the situation here!

Hun IV then ended his self-introduction and began explaining the situation at the Sea Area.
This Sea Area was under the control of Master Bai Luo. Master Bai Luo was like Master Jinhua, both of whom were messengers of the Rolling Dragon King. He had enormous power in this region. His status was second only to the Rolling Dragon King. They each controlled eighty thousand miles of the Sea Area. Currently, they reside on the outskirts of the Right-angle Bay. The so-called Bay in the Sea Area could be understood as a town on the land. Right-angle Bay in the Seven-deity Regions’ term would be Right-angle Town. It was one of the more prosperous places in the Sea Area, which was why demons often pass by this road.
Zhou Bao was a little taken aback by this information. From his own impression, the Sea Area was a huge place with no significant mountains and barriers, so it was easy to swim there. Why was there still a passageway?
After some explanation, he finally understood. The Sea Area could not be compared to the terrestrial land. Even if the Sea Area was positioned thousands of feet above the bottom of the sea, there were 10,000 feet of space for the living creatures here to roam freely. However, the boundaries in the Sea Area did not afford the vast freedom for creatures to move about as what was described in the poems. The legendary freedom for movement only applied to normal living creatures. Without spiritual intelligence, one could swim as he liked. Once one gained spiritual intelligence, it would not be as blind as those without, because this seemingly vast Sea Area actually had territory boundaries within it. Each spot of land had been marked and had an owner. The owner of the Sea Area could easily allow a whale to amble past their territory, but they would not allow the smallest demons to infringe upon them. Of course, this did not mean that organisms with intelligence lived a difficult life in the Sea Area. It was just like life on terrestrial land – in the Sea Area, along with the big and small currents of power, there existed cities after cities, town centralizations, farms and roads. From a certain standpoint, if one did not consider the differences between terrestrial land and the Sea Area, the infrastructures were the same.
Zhou Bao was now living at a place with the fastest access to Right-angle Bay. Right-angle Bay was the largest town within a radius of a few thousand miles and it was under the control of Master Bai Luo.
After asking his questions, Zhou Bao waved his hand, giving a hint that Hun IV could leave now. Hun IV obeyed him and he disappeared in a few steps.
As for killing the small demons, Zhou Bao had no interest. He also did not wish to be responsible for any killing near Right-angle Bay. Although the demons living in the Sea Area did not have strict legal regulations, Right-angle Bay was one of the biggest market towns under Master Bai Luo’s control. If he killed any demon here, he would be noticed. His purpose was not to attract a lot of attention but to stay undercover and save a few unfortunate buddies.

Now I need a valid identity. Although the Sea Area is vast, each region is clearly demarcated. People who roam about freely between regions are not common. At such a crucial time, a person like me who has come to Right-angle Bay would definitely attract a lot of attention and suspicion!
Zhou Bao strategized quietly to himself. Having been in this world for so many years, although he had always been lucky, he understood a very simple principle, and that is to never rely on your luck to settle one’s affairs. That was a sure-fire way to fail. Especially in an unfamiliar place like the Sea Area, the strong opponents and fierce hunters one may meet would never have mercy!
Zhou Bao also understood from Hun IV that in this boundless Sea Area, although there were not many roamers in each region, it did not mean there were no people there. There were mainly two types of people who roamed about freely: the first type worked in business, the second type in cultivation. The third type consisted of nomads.
Ignoring those who worked in business, everyone else had a fixed nomadic route and a fixed identification. They could work anywhere. For those who were roaming because of their cultivation, all of them were strong warriors and played powerful roles. If it was not that, it would be for their personal growth or to break through a phase by continuously training oneself in the Sea Area. Of course, the strength of a part of these fellas was extremely strong. Without a Genuine Immortal cultivation, they would not roam about in this boundless Sea Area. As for the third type, which consisted of nomads akin to those in the Seven-deity Regions, they usually did not end up in any good situation. Aside from a few extraordinary fellas, in the end, all of them will die a sad death.
Zhou Bao decided to play the role of a Jianghu person.
Of course, playing the part of a cultivator also needed opportunity. To dash into Right-angle Bay so haphazardly would attract attention just as well. He needed an opportunity.
An opportunity was actually not hard to gain.
As the Rolling Dragon King’s Fourth Prince had been killed, the Rolling Dragon King was furious and issued an order to apprehend the murderer of his son regardless of which Sea Area he was from and status he had. The person who achieved this would receive a handsome reward. To obtain this reward, the person must be courageous. In this month, there had been countless wanderers congregating in this region of the Sea Area. There were even the second type of people present- the roamers.
These roamers who had a cultivation of a Genuine Immortal were beginning to be unable to resist the Rolling Dragon King’s tempting reward and joined the mission to apprehend Yu Nantian.
The huge ocean separating The Four Eastern Regions and the Three Western Regions were under the control of five masters. The Rolling Dragon King was one of them. Usually, all of them minded their own business, but now, the five Sea Areas’ expert Demonic Immortals were starting to congregate at the Rolling Dragon King’s Sea Area.
What Zhou Bao had to do was to find a suitable identity and merge into the nomads running into the army.
The Right-angle Bay was not far away. Zhou Bao did not head there directly. He killed a few demons in the sea and used their bones and skin to make a piece of clothing like the ones demons wore. He also caught a decently fast blue whale who was somewhere in between an animal and an evil beast. He then began to coax the blue whale to head towards Right-angle Bay.
Right-angle Bay was a peaceful place at the bottom of the sea. It had a large area, about ten times the size of Qingyang Market. It turned from a shallow oceanic trench into Right-angle Bay.
Although Zhou Bao had prepared beforehand, he was still shocked when he saw the town centralization in the Sea Area for the first time. There were all kinds of bizarre buildings and Zhou Bao was just flabbergasted. The buildings in the Sea Area was not comparable to that on land. They were made mostly from stone. The buildings at Right-angle Bay consisted all of massive clams. For the organisms living in the ocean, massive clams were their natural habitat. Hence, the demons bestowed with spiritual intelligence happily inherited this style. The top spiral-shaped architecture was the most common. It was then followed by the massive circular shell. These two types of buildings occupied at least 80% of the land in Right-angle Bay.
The remaining 20% were made of rock, gold and some material that Zhou Bao could not distinguish. All these made up the entire Right-angle Bay.
The entrance of Right-angle bat was a narrow valley. Two uniformed demons were guarding it, although they were not strict with it. As long as one was a demon in the Sea and paid the tax, he could enter.

It’s really a realistic world comparable to that on land!
