After floating above the sea for several days, Yu Nantian met Great Dark Lord Du and the others and led them to the Void Traveller. At the same time, he received a shocking news–Zhou Bao had killed Master Jin Hua. He had managed to regain parts of their missing treasures and had returned them to their rightful owners.
When they saw that Yu Nantian had brought some of their treasures back as well, they were quite shocked. They looked at him in awe. It was as if their opinion of him had undergone a sudden change and they were just starting to get to know him. On one hand, he enjoyed the adulation. On the other hand, too many weird things had happened. Therefore, he did not offer too many explanations.
It was due to this reason that he felt more perplexed these days and even felt that something was not quite right, but he could not put his finger on it.

Who on earth saved me? Why did he save me? Why did he return all the treasures to me? He did not even take my Time-fixing Plate. It’s a fairy weapon, how could he not be tempted by it? Did he really turn his nose up at the chance of possessing a fairy weapon? Or could there be other reasons?



Nantian, what are you thinking of?
 
Seeing Yu Nantian standing at the prow of the boat, looking as if he was in a daze, an expert from Divine Wind Palace came up behind him and asked him gently. This expert was a member of the Yu family, being a collateral relative of Yu Nantian. He was Yu Manlou, a trusted subordinate of Yu Nantian. Lately, he could feel that there was something wrong with Yu Nantian, but he didn’t want to ask him about it. Now, it seemed that Yu Nantian was really in a plight, therefore, he came to check on him.

Oh, nothing. I was just trying to figure out something!
Yu Nantian shook his head and did not give him any further explanations. Having enjoyed being the center of admiration for more than 10 days, he was now too embarrassed to tell the truth. Thus, he just laughed and answered perfunctorily.
Yu Nantian was not a fool. He was just momentarily dazzled by all the adulation he was receiving. After he came down to earth, he knew that there was something wrong. Because of his animosity toward Zhou Bao, he had initially suspected Zhou Bao of framing him. But it was a pity that this time, Zhou Bao had covered his tracks well and had a perfect alibi. When he was being pursued by that Demonic Immortal, Zhou Bao’s Real Body had been present with Great Dark Lord Du and other people. The location they met was thousands of miles away from where he was pursued. Even though he suspected that Zhou Bao was the one who framed him, he could not confirm that it was Zhou Bao, because Zhou Bao would not have the time to do so.
Because of this, Yu Nantian did not like Zhou Bao. However, since Zhou Bao already had a perfect alibi, he was too embarrassed to ask him.
The Void Traveller flew eastward. Yu Nantian still did not want to let the matter rest. However, as the saying goes:
Whether the water is hot or cold, only the one who drinks it knows
. He knew that his strength had been greatly sapped even though he had almost recovered from his injury. Even if they could fly across the Five-dragon Regions, pursuing Ye Qingtian now, would be a joke.
Rolling Dragon Palace was in an utter mess and the sea-closing order was of no use at all. However, since so many Demonic Immortals had escaped from Dragon Abyss Prison, the Five-dragon Regions had become much more disorderly, even their seniors of the same sect could not fly across the sea, let alone them.
Anyhow, this situation was fine. They could not fly across the sea, and Ye Qingtian, who had already escaped to the center of the Sea Area, would not be able to find them either. They would both live in peace for the moment. This situation was good, however, it wasn’t due to them.

Given the current speed, we shall arrive at the Seven-deity Regions in about 10 days. We really made a mess this time, and I don’t know how to explain it to my seniors!
Great Dark Lord Du stated helplessly as he saw Yu Nantian standing at the prow and walked toward him.

Yeah, we really messed up this time around. Luckily, we didn’t suffer that many losses!
Yu Nantian wore a wry smile while saying this. He was a changed person after this experience and was no longer as arrogant and foppish as before.
He was much more mature now. After coming across so many powerful Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area, he realized that his strength might be powerful in the Seven-deity Regions, but it amounted to nothing much in the Sea Area. No matter how arrogant he was, he had to face up to this reality.

Not bad. We’re really lucky to be in such a good condition still even after going through such an ordeal!
Great Dark Lord Du laughed and added,
Thanks to you and Zhou Bao, we didn’t suffer too many losses this time. Zhou Bao’s strength is unfathomable, he killed Master Jin Hua, a Four-tribulation True Immortal, who was ranked the top 10,000 in the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Master Jin Hua is an expert even among Genuine Immortals who are at the Venerable Realm. I didn’t expect that he would be so easily killed by Zhou Bao!


Unfathomable!
 
After hearing Great Dark Lord Du’s comments, Yu Nantian glanced at Zhou Bao, who was at the stern, basking in the sun.
Zhou Bao’s strength was truly immeasurable. Yu Nantian had been framed by others and thus was able to bring those treasures back. However, Zhou Bao had killed a Four-tribulation True Immortal using his own strength and brought other treasures back. It was clear to Yu Nantian who was more powerful here.
If not for Zhou Bao’s alibi, which was too perfect, he would think that it was Zhou Bao who had framed him.
Indeed, he had been framed!
At present, the Five-dragon Regions was in chaos. Very few people would bother about the sea-closing order or about the Void Traveller flying 50,000 feet above the sea.
However, that didn’t mean the Void Traveller had gone unnoticed.
During these few days, there were some Demonic Immortals who were supposedly here to stop them, but they had all been killed by Zhou Bao.
This time, without bothering to conceal his strength from others, Zhou Bao displayed the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword for all to see. Its sharp Sword Qi was very invincible. Even people like Great Dark Lord Du who thought they were familiar with Zhou Bao’s power was filled with great awe.
It was so powerful that in a single move, Demonic Immortals at the Venerable Realm would be sliced into two, let alone ordinary Demonic Immortals.
If they had not come across so many powerful Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area during these few days, they would have been even more shocked. After all, the most powerful experts in the Seven-deity Regions were Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm. Even those who were in power in various sects were almost Individual Immortals who were about to break through to another realm or Two-tribulation True Immortals. Three-tribulation True Immortals were rarely seen there, let alone Genuine Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm.
Perhaps Yu Taixu from Divine Wind Palace and some of the secluded older ones were Three-tribulation True Immortals. However, most of them scarcely turn up, as if they were afraid of something.
Zhou Bao had killed all the Demonic Immortals who were on their way to stop them. Yu Nantian received a shocking news, which made him very angry.
Someone had entered Rolling Dragon Palace, killed all the relatives of Rolling Dragon King, and robbed him of all his belongings. Because of this, he was so furious that he launched the Lunar True Thunder in desperation and swore that he would take revenge on the culprit.
Initially, when they heard this news, everyone, including Zhou Bao, looked at Yu Nantian as if he was a monster. Although Yu Nantian wanted to deny the matter, he couldn’t because he knew that he had been framed by someone, but did not know who the person was.

This time, you have become the sworn enemy of Rolling Dragon King. He’s so powerful and he’s a top expert even in the boundless Sea Area. You really should be careful!


Of course I will. However, he’s a Demonic Immortal at the Lord of Heaven Realm who cannot enter the Seven-deity Regions!
In the beginning, Yu Nantian was in a state of panic. However, he soon calmed down. He said,
If I don’t go to the Sea Area, he will not be a threat to me. Furthermore, his Sea Area is currently in an utter mess, and it’s hard to tell whether he will be able to survive or not. Even if he can, his reign over the Sea Area is not as wide as before. He has made a lot of enemies all these years!
Yu Nantian narrowed his eyes and carefully evaluated Rolling Dragon King’s strength.

It makes sense, but you’d better be careful! You 
can stay at Divine Wind Palace indefinitely, but Divine Wind Palace and other sects in the Seven-deity Regions are closely linked and their disciples may go out. Once Rolling Dragon King goes berserk and creates trouble in the sea, I’m afraid that you’ll be under a lot of pressure!


I see, but…!
Yu Nantian sighed and added,
since this is the case, I have no other choice. I hope that I can return to the Seven-deity Regions earlier and report this matter to my seniors. Perhaps they can come up with some better ideas!


Yeah, there is nothing we can do about it right now!
Great Dark Lord Du sighed and fell silent.
Everything went well. After a month, exhausted after the long and tiring trip, all of them arrived at Borderline Mountain in the Central Mainland Region and entered Forever Peace Town.

You are finally back! We were so afraid that you will not make it back!

Once the Void Traveller entered the town, many people from different sects came to welcome them. When they saw that most of them were back, they felt a great sense of relief.
Led by an Elder from Divine Wind Palace, there were a total of 10 people in the welcoming committee. The Elder was also a member of the Yu family. He brought them into the inn and sighed with emotion.

This time, we’re not well-prepared. We didn’t expect that Rolling Dragon King had you all marked from the beginning. Just as you set off, he issued a sea-closing order. Moreover, we didn’t expect that such big events would take place in the Five-dragon Regions all at the same time. If you had come back a little later, we would have sent out a search party to look for you at sea!


Uncle Jian, we really had a narrow escape this time and two people have died on the road. We failed to get across the Sea Area and we had to turn back, it is really shameful!
Yu Nantian looked embarrassed as he said this.

It’s no big deal. You were really unlucky to have encountered a once in a lifetime event–Criminals escaping from Dragon Abyss Prison. Haha, it seems that the situation in the Five-dragon Regions has changed dramatically!

Uncle Jian patted Yu Nantian on the shoulder and comforted him, saying,
Nantian, I am delighted that you’ve become more mature after going through this ordeal!

Uncle Jian went round comforting people from Divine Wind Palace, and the others from the other sects did the same too. Each sect formed a clique and returned to their private areas. They set up inhibitions and started to discuss the incidents that had happened, amongst themselves.

Is Zhou Bao really so powerful that he was able to kill Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm with his Sword Qi?


He killed a Four-tribulation True Immortal and helped you to regain your treasures. Is that really true?


Powerful black-red Sword Qi! What kind of Divine Sense it is?


Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword! It must have been the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword! It’s nothing new that he is familiar with the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword because Wang She knows it as well. It’s strange that how his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword could be so powerful? What kind of Evil Qi did he use to refine it?
