Chapter 953 The Endless Sea, the Blue-Faced Yaksha
after one day.
The two left the Fire Plains and entered the western bay.
This is a vast bay, with Wuzhou on one side and Leizhou on the other. At the innermost part of the bay, there are also Yanzhou and Cangzhou.
The fastest way to get from Leizhou to Wuzhou is to cross the sea directly, which is dangerous, but at least you don't have to take a detour.
Instead of taking the fastest straight route, the two continued to circle around the outer edge of the bay, taking a full day before finally entering the sea.
This was also to be on the safe side. Although Ye Kang was very curious about who was lying in wait for him, he was also carrying Ye Meijue with him. Ye Kang couldn't possibly send her into the Moyu Realm, so if a fight broke out, she would become a burden.
Rather than being so restrained, it would be better to avoid direct confrontation for now and make a move when we return from Wuzhou.
Ye Kang believed that these people would not give up until they caught him.
Although those in the Returning to Truth Realm possessed powerful divine sense, they had already spent a day traveling far away. At such a distance, even the strongest divine sense could not possibly find them.
The two stepped into the sea, and Ye Kang took out a sea compass.
This is an essential tool for finding the right direction. Below the Dao level, crossing the ocean is extremely difficult, and without the guidance of a compass, one will almost certainly lose their way.
Standing atop Ye Kang's flying boat, Ye Meijue also had many feelings.
"I never thought I'd be able to come home. When I first came here, I thought I'd never see Wuzhou again..."
Ye Kang couldn't help but ask curiously, "So why did Emperor Huai choose you in particular?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Meijue didn't feel she was being presumptuous. Instead, she smiled and said, "Our Ye Nu clan consists only of women, and everything we have depends on the protection of Emperor Huai. There are many powerful enemies in the underworld. If it weren't for Emperor Huai's protection, we would have been wiped out long ago. Since we have received such a great favor, we should naturally do what we should do. As for why it's me, it's probably because I'm the most beautiful. Don't you think so?"
Ye Meijue suddenly turned to look at Ye Kang, revealing a faint smile. Her hair fluttered lightly, and her skin appeared crystalline with a grayish-blue hue under the sunlight.
It must be admitted that Ye Meijue is indeed very beautiful, and because of her ethnicity, she is even more unique, with a strong exotic charm.
In addition, her incredible proportions and figure make it impossible to look away.
Such a beautiful woman, yet the Holy Emperor was able to resist. It's unclear whether it was because he was truly resolute or because he feared the Holy Empress.
Ye Kang turned his head away and said, "Miss Ye is naturally incredibly beautiful. Now that she's going back, she can be considered to have regained her freedom."
"Really? But don't forget, I made a complete mess of the mission."
"The Huai Emperor is ancient and powerful, and he would not care about such trivial matters."
Ye Kang wasn't just trying to comfort him; he genuinely felt that way.
After all, Emperor Huai was too powerful. He was a big shot who had lived for countless years, hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even Brahman knew how terrifying Emperor Huai was.
Emperor Wu was guided by Emperor Huai in order to eventually conquer Leizhou and establish the Wu Dynasty.
Such an existence probably wouldn't really take the Holy Emperor seriously. It's just a test, and no matter the outcome, it certainly won't blame Ye Meijue.
Ye Meijue smiled and said, "I'm fine, but you should worry more about yourself. Your situation is much more dangerous than mine. Wuzhou doesn't welcome you, and it seems that Wu Dynasty doesn't like you either."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang looked helpless.
Who said no?
I originally thought only the Right Chancellor would target me, but now I realize that the Holy Emperor also dislikes me.
But there's nothing I can do. I absolutely cannot refine the Green Mystic Heaven, and I can't possibly submit this pledge of allegiance.
He didn't dwell on it, quickly adjusted his mindset, and turned to look at the sea ahead: "I heard this sea doesn't have a name, is that right?"
"Who told you that? In Wuzhou, we call it the Endless Sea, a vast expanse of water with no end. The so-called Kyushu is actually just a series of interconnected islands in the Endless Sea."
Ye Kang glanced sideways, and the name Luoyan Prefecture came to mind.
It's close to the sea to the east, but whether it's east or west, it's all an endless sea.
Kyushu is vast, yet it appears small when placed on an endless sea.
As Ye Kang was lost in thought, suddenly, countless drops of seawater surged up beneath the flying boat, creating a deafening roar.
The two immediately scanned the area with their divine senses and saw countless fish leaping upwards in the seawater.
Ye Kang immediately frowned.
The schools of fish seemed harmless, but a dark shadow was rapidly approaching from below, causing the chaos among the fish.
"Oh no! It's a sea monster!"
Ye Meijue's expression changed, and she continued, "The Sea Yaksha is an extremely powerful sea monster and a warrior of the Dragon Palace. Why would he target us!"
The Dragon Palace is a demonic force in the Endless Sea, dominated by dragons who command sea monsters. While it doesn't exist in coastal areas like Luoyan Prefecture, it is the absolute power of the dragons in these deep-sea regions.
This is also the danger of crossing the sea; once you are targeted by the sea monsters of the Dragon Palace, it will be extremely troublesome.
Ye Kang's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the dark figure. The figure seemed to have just noticed them and immediately slowed down. Then, it burst out of the sea and stood on the surface, revealing its full form.
This is a blue-faced, fanged sea yaksha, wielding a steel fork, wearing armor, and exuding an incredibly powerful aura—definitely a mid-stage demon saint.
Generally speaking, a sea demon of this level could never be a patrolling minor demon. Its presence here proves that there is something mysterious about this place.
The sea demon spoke first, coldly asking, "What kind of human are you, and why are you here!"
Ye Kang didn't make a move, and said calmly, "The people of the Wu Dynasty are on their way to Wuzhou and are passing through this place. They have no ill intentions."
"People of the Wu Dynasty? Do you take me for a fool? You have a much shorter route to Wuzhou, why bother coming through here?"
The sea demon's tone grew increasingly cold, now carrying a murderous intent.
Ye Kang's heart sank immediately.
Oh no, this detour has caused a problem.
Logically speaking, one shouldn't pass through here on the way to Wuzhou, as it's too far.
But in order to avoid being ambushed, they had no choice but to take such a long detour.
Ye Kang said, "It's absolutely true, there's no lie. If you feel we're a threat, then we'll leave now."
"Leave? Ha, come with me to see the Crown Prince first!"
The sea monster brandished its steel fork, posing a direct threat.
Ye Kang's face turned cold, and he was about to make a move when Ye Meijue suddenly transmitted her voice: "Promise him. With the Dragon Prince nearby, it's impossible for him to be the only sea yaksha. If we make enemies with the Dragon Palace, we can forget about crossing the sea safely."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang also felt that it made a lot of sense.
He extended his hand and said, "Then lead the way."
Seeing this, the sea monster put away its steel fork and sneered, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
