Chapter 817: The Far Reaches of the West Sea (1/2)

Lu Yun’s mood took a downward turn after he learned the truth behind Emperors Fall and what akasha ghosts were comprised of. It wasn’t a sinking sense of fear or dread, but of sympathy.

“Senior Zhi Guangji is right, this path of immortal dao is drenched with blood.”

Ge Long was silent for a very long time. “But… we had no choice…”

…….

Each of the four immortal seas held a great secret. The North Sea possessed the dragon tomb, the underworld could be found in the East Sea, and the far reaches of the West Sea met with the Black Sea.

The Black Sea was as its name, filled with waters the color of pure ink. However, it wasn’t a dead sea. Life brimmed in its depths and the shade of their home didn’t seem to affect them. A strange primordial ruin could be found at its end, which was where the fur seals resided.

Yuchi Tianhuang had stumbled upon it a long time ago and traveled back a hundred and fifty thousand years, where he met Xuan Yu and relayed the condition of modern times to the immortals of the Primordial Era.

Lu Yun had visited the West Sea once, but only for a short duration as his primary purpose was to disrupt Dongfang Hao’s tribulation. He hadn’t had time to probe the ends of the West Sea.

……

“Why did you have to bring me?!” Perched on Lu Yun’s shoulder, the little fox grumbled unhappily, “The Black Sea is too strange! We didn’t like coming here even in the Primordial Era!”

She swung her head furiously in great denial, calling forth crisp chimes from the golden bell around her neck as she did so.

“So you finally remember who you are?” Lu Yun glared at the fox. “Out with it, where did you send the Deaf Prince and the others?”

“They’re in the celestial master tomb. They’ll come back when they fully refine Vastspace Mountain and the Timelight Tower.” The little fox looked a bit guiltily at Lu Yun with her baby blue eyes.

“Hello? Did you forget that I’m a holy king of the underworld??” Lu Yun’s glare sharpened with intensity. “Someone took away those two treasures a long time ago!”

Miao shrank in on herself and didn’t dare say another word.

“And Yu Hengluo! Where did you take Yu Hengluo?!” Frustration bubbled in Lu Yun’s heart. He’d found the girl after she vanished from the celestial master tomb and placed her beneath Mount Xuanhuang. Intending to use the power of the immortal dao to heal her, he’d been blindsided to find that she’d vanished a second time!

Lu Yun still didn’t know why there were two versions of her, but had keenly picked up a trace of the little fox’s presence where the second one had vanished. So Miao was behind Yu Hengluo’s disappearance as well!

The little fox stretched out two fat paws and slapped them over her eyes, playing an admirable imitation of being deaf and dumb.

Lu Yun grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and peered viciously into her face. Miao hung her head and went limp in his hand, the very picture of not responding to anything he would do to her.

Fox in hand, Lu Yun headed for the far reaches of the Black Sea. The zombie tree was located where it ended, where the nest of fur seals lay.

The demon god had already conquered the fur seals and allied with Dongfang Hao to exert complete control over the West Sea. The West Sea court was no longer, and countless monster immortals had fled their home to be absorbed by the other three marine factions.

It was a ghost town in the West Sea these days; there was no one present apart from the fur seals and some mundane beings that couldn’t leave. The merchant alliance had established many branches in the West Sea as well, but they’d all been pulled up by the roots, their wealth and resources claimed by the fur seals.
