Chapter 344 Absolutely Safe Route

"The Carp God doesn't think this place is good."

Suddenly, the carp god, who had been sitting quietly, raised its head and met Ye Kang's gaze with its bright eyes. The words it uttered sent a chill down Ye Kang's spine.

Others might feel it's not good, but Koi God is different!

He quickly put away the guidebook and pulled the carp god out of the cabin.

This ship is the Yingzhou Sect's own passenger ship, shuttling between Yingzhou Island and Wanghai City.

The tickets are expensive, but they are safe. After all, there are experts from the Yingzhou Sect guarding the area, so neither sea monsters nor pirates will easily cause trouble.

When Ye Kang boarded the ship, he had already seen that expert from afar. He had reached the sixth level of the naval power, which meant he was already a high-end fighter in this strait.

But the fact that the carp god still felt unsafe is quite intriguing.

Ye Kang walked towards the deck, where many martial artists were enjoying the sea view. Some were sitting and drinking, some were playing chess, some were grilling skewers, and some were fishing, all in a very leisurely manner.

Ye Kang, holding a child's hand, immediately attracted some attention.

The expensive concealment robes, along with the child, suggest that this martial artist must be either from a noble family or a genius from a sect. Rogue cultivators could not afford such expensive clothes.

Ignoring the stares, Ye Kang walked straight to the front of the deck.

A scholar in a blue robe was turning the pages of a book in the breeze, exuding an air of transcendence.

It was Qu Yifan, the most powerful figure on the ship, openly known as the Yingzhou Sect.

"Mr. Qu, it's polite."

Ye Kang bowed slightly.

Qu Yifan was very approachable. When someone struck up a conversation with him, he cheerfully returned the greeting, saying, "Is there something you need, esteemed guest?"

"Nothing, I was just curious. The distance from Wanghai City to Yingzhou Island is not short, but it's not far either. Why would it require a master like Mr. Qu to protect us all the way?"

Ye Kang subtly praised Qu Yifan.

The latter was very pleased and waved his hand, saying, "Not at all. Since you've bought a ticket, you're a distinguished guest of Yingzhou Island. The safety of our guests is our top priority."

Then he changed the subject: "Moreover, this distance, which is neither too close nor too far, is quite dangerous. If you go alone, you might end up drowning at sea."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Ye Kang was very modest, and Qu Yifan just thought of him as a novice. He said, "There are only three kinds of dangers on the sea: wind and waves, sea monsters, and pirates. This route usually doesn't encounter wind and waves, so only the latter two are left."

"The carp god senses that a storm is coming."

Suddenly, the carp god spoke, and the childish voice startled Qu Yifan for a moment before he burst into laughter.

"Little one, you can't just say things like that. This route was discovered by Yingzhou Island over a century ago, and it's absolutely safe..."

Before he could finish speaking, thunder rumbled in the distance, a black cloud rolled in, and a fierce wind swept in.

"Look! It's a storm!"

"How could that be! It was a perfectly sunny day just now!"

"My kebabs!"

Panic ensued on the deck.

Qu Yifan was completely stunned.

"What...what! How could this be! There shouldn't be any storms on this route..."

"Mr. Qu, what should we do now?" Ye Kang asked.

Qu Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Guest, don't panic. We have a plan for this kind of thing. Let me take a look first."

As he spoke, Qu Yifan took out a manual and began to carefully flip through it.

"Storm...storm...storm...storm...I've got it! The ship says there shouldn't be any storms on this route. If we do encounter one, it must be the work of an incredibly powerful sea monster or pirates who have been plotting for a long time. For safety, we suggest abandoning the ship and escaping alone..."

As Qu Yifan read on, his voice grew softer and softer. Finally, he looked up awkwardly and met Ye Kang's gaze.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! It must be a mistake. I'm a scholar who studies the classics, how could I do such a thing! Rest assured, esteemed guest, I will handle the storm!"

After saying that, Qu Yifan unleashed his full power, and the six-petaled lotus rose into the air, bursting forth with surging true energy, and hurtled forward.

Of course, he was no match for the immense power of heaven and earth, so this move was not aimed at the storm, but at the seabed.

A huge reaction force pushed in, helping the ship accelerate and turn.

The boatmen had already begun their work, and with this boost, the large ship successfully adjusted its course and headed towards the calm waters on the left.

"Success! Don't panic, guest. I told you, our Yingzhou Sect's ships are absolutely safe."

Qu Yifan smiled confidently. The next second, a thunderclap ripped through the air, instantly striking the sea in front of him. Then, dark clouds rolled in, and the sky turned completely black.

The storm was moving much faster than the ships could travel, and it had already engulfed everyone.

The martial artists all turned pale.

"Damn it! What's going on today! Why is the storm coming towards us?!"

"Something's not right, I feel something getting closer!"

"Bullshit! Don't exaggerate!"

"Believe it or not, my technique is divination, and it's absolutely infallible!"

A young martial artist roared, causing everyone to become serious.

Ye Kang neither questioned nor inquired about the Carp God.

He himself had also learned the Nine Revolutions Auspicious Star Technique, and at this moment he could also sense that it was not auspicious.

"Mr. Qu, what should we say now?"

Qu Yifan was covered in sweat and looked shocked.

"This...this doesn't make sense! The sect never taught me this!"

Ye Kang was speechless. This guy looked reliable, but he turned out to be a bookworm and a theorist. No wonder he was sent here to guard the ship.

At this moment, the storm fully arrived, torrential rain poured down, accompanied by a hurricane, stirring up layers of waves. The ships were constantly rocked by the huge waves, and the weaker martial artists clung to the railings, trembling.

The martial artists at the Lotus Realm were much calmer; they took flight and surveyed their surroundings.

"This is not a simple storm; we are trapped."

The one who spoke was the young man who was skilled in divination.

The others agreed, saying that the storm seemed to have a purpose, heading straight for the ship. At this moment, it had even formed a circular hurricane, completely blocking the surrounding area and preventing the martial artists from flying out.

Everyone here is a seasoned veteran, and they all took out their weapons, ready for battle.

Only Ye Kang remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the very center of the storm, where a gigantic black cloud stretched from mid-air to the sea level, resembling an inverted tornado—a truly terrifying sight.

A faint wisp of blue smoke filled Ye Kang's eyes.

Wu Wang's blue eyes pierced through layers of storms, gazing into the depths.

"Mr. Qu, what is this black flag with nine large red-eyed snakes drawn on it?"

Ye Kang spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it carried throughout the entire ship.

For a moment, everyone in the panic was stunned.

A small portion of them stared wide-eyed, as if they had heard something extremely terrifying.

Qu Yifan's expression also tightened, and he said, "It's the Nine Nether Palace. Why are you asking about this?"

Ye Kang nodded, then pointed to the center of the storm.

"That's right, there's a boat in there, and this flag is flying on it."

"what!!!"
