Chapter 342 Heading to the East China Sea
"Be bold!"
The woman stood up, her face filled with murderous intent and a warning.
"You think you're really the Human Emperor? If you didn't still have some use, would we be cooperating with you? Wake up! Those reclusive sects will replace you sooner or later. Once you leave the outer sea, you'll be begging for mercy!"
Yun Xiaoyao clenched his fists and left the Cold Palace without saying a word.
He was angry, resentful, and regretful...
How did things come to this?
Why is it that after I diligently governed the country, the reclusive sects above turned around and supported the Buddhist kingdom to seize my throne?
Why did things take a turn for the better as soon as I made the decision and fought like a cornered beast?
Why was it that Ye Kang only appeared and the Buddhist Kingdom only destroyed after I had already left evidence of collusion with the foreign seas?
Yun Xiaoyao's face contorted in pain, and tears streamed down his face without him realizing it.
Over the past decade, he had hesitated more than once, but the rise of the Buddhist kingdom was unstoppable.
The Buddhist Kingdom's high-end combat power is too strong. It will definitely destroy the Great Jin Dynasty and bring the whole world under its control. This is a foregone conclusion and is tacitly agreed upon by all the hidden sects.
The Azure Scale Guards couldn't stop it, and neither could they themselves. The royal retainers all fled upon hearing the news. Some of the hidden sects even looked forward to seeing this scene, just to let the Buddhist Kingdom empty the world's incense offerings and cultivate some kind of worthless incense golden statue!
But what about me!
Yun Xiaoyao angrily pounded on the pillar.
Nobody cares what will happen to him.
So he chose the open sea.
But just as he took his first step and boarded the same ship as the sea, Ye Kang appeared.
But it was too late for him to turn back.
The people from the outer seas will not let him go, and the hidden sects will not let him go either once they find out.
Going forward or backward, there are only dead ends.
"Ye Kang, why did you show up? Why couldn't even a master of the Seven Leaves Sect kill you!"
Yun Xiaoyao's blood and qi surged wildly, and his killing intent almost solidified, piercing through the empty hall.
……
Jinling.
Ye Kang and the Carp God returned to the Xie family.
Upon seeing the Carp God, Madam Ye and Lingyu and Lingxiu were immediately charmed and rushed to hug it.
After exchanging pleasantries with his family for a while, Ye Kang scanned the area with his senses.
He's already a true martial artist. Even his father, who has the worst talent, is already a second-rate martial artist. Needless to say, the Xie family must have provided him with a lot of precious medicinal herbs and pills.
Ye Kang was very satisfied and left behind a pile of precious plants and pills, as well as several cultivation manuals for his maternal grandfather and maternal uncle.
It can be said that as long as there are enough resources, the Xie family will soon produce a martial artist at the Lotus Realm.
After doing all this, Ye Kang finally found his second maternal grandfather alone.
"Kang'er, my Dragon Blood Vine hasn't grown yet, it's really gone!" Xie Xuan said with a pained expression. After feeding it to Ye Kang last time, he really had no more Dragon Blood Vine.
Ye Kang smiled and took out two rare body-tempering plants.
"Second Grandfather, this is for you. Your Dragon Blood Vine has helped me a lot, and I will always remember this kindness. Now, it's time to repay it."
Xie Xuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then his expression changed.
"You're going to the East China Sea!"
Ye Kang nodded: "That's right, it's time. There's not much left in the Great Jin Dynasty that can make me stronger. I have to go out and explore. I haven't forgotten what my second grandfather entrusted to me."
Upon hearing Ye Kang's words, Xie Xuan couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.
"Good child, I didn't expect you to remember such a trivial matter..."
"What are you saying? Family matters are never trivial."
Ye Kang smiled brightly. During this time, the Xie family had proven their cohesion, and Ye Kang had come to regard them as family.
Xie Xuan nodded and took out the jade comb made of cold-fragrant jade marrow.
“This was a gift I gave to that woman. Although we were not husband and wife in name, our hearts were connected. Her daughter also knew about this. It's a pity that when her mother had her accident, she was already on Yingzhou Island and didn't even get to see her one last time…”
Ye Kang took the jade comb and comforted her, "Second Grandfather is deeply in love. I will personally give this to the girl as a keepsake."
"Alright, that girl's name is Mo Xiaoshuang. She should have joined Yingzhou Island as an outer disciple. If you find her, you can help her a little. But if you can't find her, then forget it."
"I will do my best."
Ye Kang didn't make too many promises. After all, so many years had passed, and the little girl from back then would be twenty years old now. Who knew what she would become?
After the meal, Ye Kang did not linger and immediately left Jinling with Li Shen.
Three islands in the East China Sea.
Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou.
The three islands, arranged in a triangular formation around the moon, dominate the East China Sea. Beyond these three islands lies the outer sea.
According to the records of the Azure Scale Guard, the three islands have always maintained a neutral stance and have not favored any side.
At the same time, the three islands are also three sects, each cultivating powerful martial artists, and each has a Divine Sea Realm expert in charge, as well as many Nine-Leaf Lotus cultivators.
Ye Kang can't even touch a master of that level right now.
For safety, he used the Thousand Illusions of the Spirit Butterfly to transform himself back into Wang Yintai.
He still had that carefree and unruly young master look, making people want to punch him at first glance.
The carp god looked at Ye Kang's transformation with curiosity and said, "So it turns out that it's not just the carp god who can transform into a human."
"It's just a small trick. If you encounter a particularly skilled martial artist, they will see through it."
"The Carp God thinks the original person is more attractive."
"Well, there's no other way; it's for safety's sake."
Ye Kang shook his head helplessly and ruffled the carp god's bun.
Ye Kang, Song Xian, and Mr. Kang—these three identities have definitely been exposed, and only Wang Yintai is currently safe.
However, this isn't a long-term solution; it would be best to obtain a legal identity overseas as well...
Ye Kang pondered for a moment while speeding up his pace.
Soon, they arrived at the East China Sea region.
This place is the easternmost part of the Great Jin Dynasty, located to the right of the Jinling area and above the Qiantang area, bordering the East China Sea, and sparsely populated.
There's nothing we can do about it; after all, it's the very front line of the battle, and it's too dangerous for ordinary people to be there.
Although there are no ordinary people, there are quite a few martial artists. There is even a city called Wanghai City at the port of the East Sea, which is a city for martial artists. These people usually rely on hunting sea beasts and catching precious fish in the sea to exchange for cultivation resources.
Naturally, the Azure Scale Guards were also stationed here, but Ye Kang did not want to disturb them.
After landing far away, the two walked, both wearing gray cloaks to cover themselves completely.
Such attire was perfectly normal in a city full of martial artists, so no one noticed it.
Why is the carp god wearing this?
Walking down the street, the Carp God held Ye Kang's hand and raised its little head to ask.
"Because that way, others won't recognize the carp god."
"The Carp God thinks you're right."
The carp goddess nodded obediently and took a step forward. However, because her cloak was too big, she stepped on her right foot with her left and fell straight down.
Ye Kang reacted quickly, reaching back to pull the carp spirit around in a daze before it was pulled to Ye Kang's other side.
"Fellow Daoist, your child is still young, and the clothes are too big for him to move around in."
