Chapter 463 - Empress’s Man (1/2)

"Those capable of crossing the river are all here!"

Zhong Yue looked serious as he examined the few boats that carried about eighty demon Qi Practitioners, thirty to fifty Kun Lun Realm's Qi Practitioner and also quite a number of magnate Qi Practitioners!

These guys were the elite of the elites, and Zhong Yue even saw a few familiar faces on the boats; they were Qi Lianfeng, Peng Jinyi, and Peng Qianqiu!

The three demon's black wood boats were also being corroded by the blood water in God Burial River, eroding the bottom of the boats and stirring chaos all over the boats. There were a few demon young Qi Qi Practitioners, however, that remained calm and they all started to calm everyone down.

Chi Xue put up a serious expression, looked at the young demon Qi Practitioners and said, "The people from Xu Tuo Demon Race!"

"Kua Fuding's golden papers must have been pillaged from the Yuan Shen secret realm of Chi Yueer. But how does Kua Fuding know how to build boats from paper? How are the boats activated? If it's not him, then who is the one controlling the boats? And from where did Peng Jinyi and the others obtain the golden paper?"

Zhong Yue looked around for a moment, and his vision landed on a lady, "So it's her…."

The lady was also from the Western Mother Race, the sister of Chi Xue–Chi Qing, which is why she also had the golden paper. Her subordinates, including Feng Zhishan, were all killed by the Six Path Fruit Tree, but she quickly recruited even more powerful individuals to serve her with the golden papers!

It was hard to obtain ripe Immortal Peaches in the Immortal Peach Garden, thus, it was natural that Chi Qing was able to recruit so many people by using this as a reward!

Suddenly, another turtle boat sailed here with only a man and a lady on board. The boat was in the form of a huge turtle shell, while the two of them stood on the bow as they sailed across the river.

The man was muscular and burly while the lady had a very feminine figure. But their aura suggested that they are also strong individuals themselves!

"The people of Black Tortoise Celestial Race!" murmured Chi Xue seriously.

"I thought you said not many knew about this place?" asked Zhong Yue.

Chi Xue was speechless upon seeing this. There might be not many that knew about the location of these three peach trees, but it did not mean that no one knew about it. However, with Chi Qing spreading the news, Kua Fuding having obtained the map from Chi Yue'er, and the Sudo Demon Race having forged the black wood boat, everyone was gathered here.

And aside from them, the turtle shell they used to cross the river was probably one of the secret divine weapons prepared by the Black Tortoise Celestial Race to sail across the water. Clearly, the Black Tortoise Celestial Race had been targeting the Immortal Peaches for a very long time!

"Thank god we are at the front."

Ying Nu laughed and said, "Once we get there, we will take the divine herb away and leave them behind!"

Zhong Yue and Chi Xue looked at each other, and they both shook their heads. They knew that the many Qi Practitioners behind them were not far away from them. With that, even if they obtained the Immortal Peaches a step ahead of them, they would only be surrounded by these Qi Practitioners.

"Besides, we can only get one, which is a very little gain," said Zhong Yue.

"If we manage to get one, maybe we will be able to get even more peaches."

Chi Xue who had the same idea as Zhong Yue looked at him, and they both smiled at each other.

She then activated the golden paper boat and sailed toward the opposite bank. Zhong Yue whispered to her, "Can I activate the boat?"

"You are not one of us, only the Western Mother Celestial Race can do this."

Chi Xue replied, "Only my people can do it, after all, it was the Western Mother Empress that created this golden paper herself."

"Then, who is behind Kua Fuding's boat?"

Zhong Yue looked at Kua Fuding's boat that had been emptied of its previous occupants by Kua Fuding and Shang Qing. The boat, however, remained sailing towards the destination with only the two of them.

"Could Shang Qing be one of you guys?" asked Zhong Yue out of a sudden.

Chi Xue immediately burst out with laughter, and she quickly replied, "How is that possible? The Western Mother Celestial Race is an all-female race, and Shang Qing is definitely not a woman, he is the son of the Shang Zhen God!"

"Then who is driving the boat? It can only be Shang Qing. Can he be the son of one of your race's people?"

Chi Xue laughed again and replied, "The people of Western Mother Empire only gives birth to daughters because of our bloodline's power. Stop guessing, we will capture Shang Qing once we get there and interrogate him."

Meanwhile, the golden paper boat they were on was slowly being corroded by the blood water, but they were also nearing land. All of a sudden, a strong wind blew and rogue waves hit the boat strongy, corroding the boat even quicker.

"This is bad!"

Cold sweat dripped down from Chi Xue's forehead, and she murmured, "We might not make it in time…."

Without hesitation, Zhong Yue grabbed Ying Nu's hand and dragged her onto the deck with Chi Xue before they climbed onto the boat's mast. Just as they got onto the mast, the deck was quickly flooded with the blood water. Then the mast and the blood water was getting closer and closer to them, but they were still quite a distance away from the land.

The boat continued to sail forward with perseverance while the blood water continuing to get closer to them.

Huuu——

Zhong Yue hurled Ying Nu toward the land and as Ying Nu screamed, she lost her momentum and slowly fell toward the bottom.
