Chapter 308: Dragon Veins Under the Sea-calming Palace and Entering the Azure Secret Area (2/2)
But, how about now?
Since they followed Zhou Bao, everything had changed. A Level Four or Five master of martial arts would not get their attention anymore. Zhu Ba was already a Level Five expert. Even Jiang Xiao, a person who was poor at martial arts among the high level of the Navy of Jiang City, had already broken through the Level Three phase and reached Level Four in terms of the cultivation. The experts who had been known only by their name but they had never met with in person in the past, now frequently emerged before them. They often saw some Level Eight and Level Nine experts, still less Level Seven experts. See, they just disputed with a Level Eight expert and flushed with agitation, which almost led to a quarrel.
Fortunately, they avoided the quarrel!
If they two, a Level Four and a Level Five expert respectively, really argued with a Level Eight expert, they may not even know how they died. Thinking of their attitude toward Golden Rooster a moment ago, they were so scared.
”Don't panic. Although Golden Rooster is not a broad-minded guy, he won't haggle over you two!”
”Thank you, Your Excellency!”
”Well, it's over. As for the villa, you two keep an eye on it. Also, Golden Rooster, if he wants laborers, just arrange them. If he wants money, just give him the money. However, there's a limit. Like this time, if you really run into a brutal thing, come to me. Oh, I will be in a closed-door training in the near future, so I will leave for a period. If you come into unreasonable things, go to Wang She. He's in a closed-door training in the mine hole here!”
”Ch-Chief Wang?” The two looked at each other with eyes revealing an awkwardness.
They knew of Wang She, but only knew of him. There was a big gap between them on the part of identity. Even though they had seen him, they had to look at him from a distance. Because they walked behind Zhou Bao, they just lowered their heads and dared not to speak when seeing him. How could Wang She know them?
”You're my most competent subordinates, so Wang She knows you. He won't ignore it if there's any trouble in my territory,” said Zhou Bao with a smile. ”Besides, this time he brought some masters of martial arts with him, didn't he? You can arrange something for them. It'll be beneficial if you're on good terms with them!”
The two threw helpless eyes to each other and said with a wry smile, ”Yes, your Excellency!”
...
...
”Your hell territory should have the gathering of the Nine Strips of Dragon Veins?”
Wang She, lying on the chair, made a very indecent gesture, his feet almost extending to Zhou Bao's desk. ”Isn't your luck excessively good?”
”You truly believe it?”
”You don't believe it?”
”What does that Earth Bat of Girl actually do? I think he's a Jianghu fraud!”
”Is there any Jianghu fraud whose cultivation can reach Level Eight?” Wang She asked with a smile, waving his hand. ”This guy is the Fengshui master of the Immortal Palace. He's been researching Fengshui for hundreds of years. I tell you, his insight is never wrong. He's more brilliant than those Jianghu frauds!”
”Are you sure?” Thinking of Earth Bat of Girl's appearance, Zhou Bao still was not convinced.
”I don't need to fool you!” Wang She shook hand. ”This guy's cultivation of the martial arts skills is not half a patch to his Fengshui achievement. Do you know, 15 years ago, he said that Northern Yuan's good fortune would run out? He even successfully predicted Northern Yuan's perdition time. Hehe!”
”Is that so abnormal?”
”Somethings are much more abnormal,” said Wang She, shaking his head. ”Anyhow, you can deny his other statement. If he said something about Fengshui, you'd better trust him. Now that he said it's a gathering place of the Nine Strips of Dragon Veins here, the Nine Strips of Dragon Veins must converge here. What do you think of it, Guy? Any idea?”
”Not yet,” said Zhou Bao, shaking head. ”For now I have an important matter, and I need your help!”
”Whom will you set me against this time?”
”Not against somebody. I want to enter the Azure Secret Area!”
”Haven't we already made a deal? You can enter at any time as long as the Essential Qi Tide inside stops!”
”I can't wait for the ending of the Essential Qi Tide. I must enter when the Essential Qi Tide is still there!”
”Are you sick of living?”
”My Air-frozen Bead practice is almost done. It's half-finished but can still ensure my safety in the Essential Qi Tide,” Zhou Bao said. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Green Qi—the Faux Air-frozen Bead.
”Half-finished?” Wang She changed his expression and gave a look at the Faux Air-frozen Bead suspended in the air. ”Judging by the spirit, it should be a celestial device at the Mysterious Level. Your Air-frozen Bead has shaped! ”
”It's not at Advanced Level. There's still room for improvement!”
”I've heard the function of this stuff, but are you sure it can ensure your safety in the Essential Qi Tide?”
”There should be no problem!”
”Even if it can ensure you uninjured in the Essential Qi Tide, so what?” Wang She said, shaking the head. ”In that furious Essential Qi Tide, you can't do anything at all!”
”I told you, I will be fine!”
”You seem to know something about the Essential Qi Tide!” Wang She slightly turned his head and stared at Zhou Bao with a serious countenance. ”Boy, you're becoming more and more mysterious, right? You already know many things that you shouldn't know!”
”What are the things that I shouldn't know?”
”What's the Essential Qi Tide on earth? Few people know it in this world. I've never told you. As far as I know, people who know the Essential Qi Tide have nothing to do with you. Even if people like Golden Rooster know of the Essential Qi Tide, they don't know the essence. Why are you so confident that you could benefit from the Essential Qi Tide?”
”Yes, right!” Zhou Bao was inexpressibly astonished but showed a warmer smile. ”I'm not sure I can certainly gain some benefits from the Essential Qi Tide, but I know I have such a chance, and it will help me to break through the state!”
”That's what I'm curious about. Why are you so confident?”
”It's my secret. I suppose I don't need to tell you my secret,” said Zhou Bao, laughing.
”Alright, you have many secrets, but you don't need to tell me all of them!” Wang She was mildly rebuffed, but he was not angry. He nodded and said, ”Well then, since you're so confident that you'll gain benefits from the Essential Qi Tide, I have no need to stop you. I will arrange this thing, but you should be careful!”
”One more thing. I have no idea when I can come out after entering the Azure Secret Area. So, could you please take care of the things happening outside the Area. As for your subordinates, I've already set Jiang Xiao to arrange tasks for them. If there's anything, just order Jiang Xiao and Zhu Ba!”
”Yeah, I know. The two guys have been following you for several years, haven't they?”
”Correct. When I was the commander of the Navy of Jiang City, they began to be with me. Till now, almost four to five years. They deserve our trust!”
”Hehe. OK. I got it. Don't worry. I'm here. No trouble will occur in your little territory. However, you cannot be too careful in the Azure Secret Area. Once you can't hold up there, get out quickly. If you get caught in it, it's not a good thing for anyone!”
”Am I that silly?” Zhou Bao laughed.
...
...
After making comprehensive arrangements, Zhou Bao walked into the passageway built by Sun Rat of Emptiness before the shocked eyes of Golden Rooster, Sun Rat of Emptiness and Moon Deer of Extended Net.
This time he voluntarily walked into it, which was very different from the previous experience when he entered there involuntarily. The palisades at the bottom of the mine hole, which was as smooth as a mirror, began to radiate dreamlike blue light after Sun Rat of Emptiness had spoken out several incantations.
The blue light was mild and had a comforting effect. Seeing the dreamy blue light, Zhou Bao, who was excited before, now was slowly calming down. His mind also became very sober.
”What a good thing!” He acclaimed in his heart. Knowing that this effect was attributed to the Pure Yang Celestial Device used for constructing the passageway, he praised secretly. When the blue light flashed, Zhou Bao felt as though he was underwater. However, the water was warm. He could easily breathe, which gave him a feeling that he was in a bathhouse. Regrettably, something suddenly showed up in front of him before he could enjoy that bathhouse feeling for a while. A wild and dry wind came in his face, almost blowing him away.
”Here I am!” Treading on the blazing fine sand and watching the surrounding boundless desert, Zhou Bao knew that he was already at the right place.
Compared with the experience that he had when he had come here for the first time, the environment here was much worse now. Endless sandstorms were everywhere in the whole desert. As far as the eyes could reach, hundreds of tornados violently blew one after another. Sand pervaded between the sky and the earth, and the whole place was immense and indistinct.
”No worries. It's not the Essential Qi Tide here. The heavy wind was due to the influenced of the Essential Qi Tide in the Azure Secret Area!”
Green Spirit's voice sounded in his brain. Before the voice died away, he heard a bang. A clap of thunder came from a tornado at a short distance away. At this moment, Zhou Bao found that those tornados were unexceptionally giving out dim blue flashes of lightning.
