Chapter 465: Return (a)

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

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.
