Chapter 399 - Sea King Pursuit (1/2)

Zhong Yue ordered the dragons and sea races around him to leave them alone, and he quickly said, "Brother Fenglou, I need to borrow the Pan Dragon Sword for a moment!"

Ao Fenglou then shouted in shock, "The Pan Dragon Sword? The sword is the saint weapon of the dragon race. I can't make a decision like that without going through the proper channels…."

Zhong Yue then took out the token given to him by Ao Fenglou and said, "I will return this token to you right now. The Zhong Li Celestial Race has already activated the Eight Dragon Heaven Suppression Cauldron. They will definitely head towards the Great Wilderness to exterminate the Swords Gate. This was brought upon us because we destroyed the portal that the Zhong Li Celestial Race created for the Kun Peng Celestial Race! If they descended at the Ancestral Star, the dragons will not be able to stay outside of the chaos! Now, I need your help, Brother Fenglou. I need you to head towards the Great Wilderness with the Pan Long Sword."

"Is that so…," said Ao Fenglou as he started thinking about what Zhong Yue said. Long ago, the dragons and the Kun Peng were already on bad terms; the entire Kun Peng Celestial Race was exiled to the Wood Celestial Star by the dragons, and after destroying the portal, the Swords Gate was now targeted by the Zhong Li Celestial Race. Thus, it was only reasonable for the dragons must provide aid to the Swords Gate.

However, deep down, Ao Fenglou knew that the dragons would not assist Swords Gate at all.

The five dragons were all prideful beings; they considered humans as an inferior species to them, and even after knowing that the humans destroyed the portal, they certainly wouldn't bother to show any gratitude.

On top of that, the dragon elder would definitely not approve or even listen to a request that came from Zhong Yue.

And when Zhong Yue split apart the entire Fiery Capital with the Divine Wing Saber, the dragon elder even got angry as in their minds, Zhong Yue had stolen the sword from them.

After a moment of consideration, Ao Fenglou suddenly said, "Alright! Give me back my token, and I will be there with the Pan Long Sword! The elders of my clans are all short-sighted people, and they would probably disapprove, but I have my own ways of taking the sword away without drawing any attention! Also, could you please explain to me why the Divine Wing Saber is in your hands? We dragons are investigating this matter right now."

"I robbed it from the Kun Peng Celestial Race."

Zhong Yue was relieved at Ao Fenglou's cooperation, and he continued, "When the magnate Qi Practitioner from the Kun Peng Celestial Race was injured by the Pan Long Sword, I coincidentally had a Golden Peng Sword. Through the sword, I managed to locate the Divine Wing Saber, and when I got there, the sword was already split in two. I had one half of it while the Kun Peng Celestial Race had the other half."

With a nod, Ao Fenglou said, "I am not interested in the Divine Wing Saber, but you must be careful of the other dragons. They would probably demand you to give them the sword and when that happens…."

He hesitated and said, "I hope that you will still remember our friendship and not go too hard on them."

"Alright. Brother Fenglou, please depart to the Great Wilderness as soon as possible!"

Then, Ao Fenglou's face on the totem pillar faded.

Zhong Yue then left the place and said to a dragon soldier, "Senior martial brother, I am going to head towards the Great Wilderness with these two from Bai Zhe Clan. Are there any spare ships that we can borrow?"

"A moment please."

Not long later, an enormous sea creature emerged with a ship attached to its back – the ship was built directly on its back.

When the three of them boarded this peculiar ship, the sea creature immediately started slithering in the sea while a huge air bubble surrounded the ship so that the water would not leak into it. Instead of feeling suffocated, they felt extremely comfortable and warm in the ship as they headed towards their destination at high speed.

"This is the Whale Emperor Ship, a type of ship that was only provided to the nobles of the dragon race."

"I've never thought that you'd be treated as a noble by them. It seems like you have quite a high position among the dragons," praised Bai Canghai.

Bai Zhenbei, however, smirked and said, "But to have this type of treatment, you first have the requisite strength. With no strength, no one will bother to pay attention to you. Canghai, I've never boarded a ship like this when I followed you to the Eastern Sea last time, you have to be more hardworking so that in one day, I will be able to get a ship like this as easily as Brother Yue can."

The now puzzled Bai Canghai then asked, "Teacher, it was me that was following you to the Eastern Sea. And it was also because you were not strong enough to board the Whale Emperor Ship that we are piggybacking off of Brother Zhong Yue. Why are you blaming this on me?"

Enraged, Bai Zhenbei smacked Bai Canghai again.

Meanwhile, Clan Master Xia and Zhurong Yanqin continued looking for Zhong Yue in the South Barren. However, in spite of the mighty Zhong Li Celestial Race and the thoroughness with which they locked down their territory, they still were not able to locate Zhong Yue.

Clan Master Xia's face cycled through a series of awful expressions, and one day, Zhurong Yanqin suddenly murmured, "Strange…"

"Darling, what's wrong?" asked Clan Master Xia.

"I just saw the Chief Di of the monsters passing through the border on his ship, and there was someone that looked like Long Yue on the ship. I think he is with Bai Zhenbei? They said something about going to Eastern Sea because Long Yue wanted to learn something from the dragons to beat Zhong Yue in the future. I'm sure about this but why did he turn back?"

At first, Clan Master Xia did not take his wife's words seriously, then he simply replied, "He probably decided to inform Shi Buyi first… Wait!"
