Chapter 175 - Didn’t Come for Nothing!

Inside the valley, the water of the Soul Gathering Pool had already turned transparent. All of the souls inside the pool water entered into the Soul Gathering Pearl.

He Qingman seemed to extremely dislike Shi Yan. After getting Mo Duanhun’s approval, she rode the Wind Thunder Lion and immediately flew into the air with Xia Xinyan. They headed out of Clouds Island ahead of the rest.

Shi Yan was in the valley. He sat on the Cyan Blood Bat and waiting.

When he realized that there were no more souls inside the Soul Gathering Pool, he spat a few more times at the Soul Gathering Pearl.

Once the spit fell on the pearl, it immediately formed into a white thin film that completely covered the Soul Gathering Pearl.

Once the Soul Gathering Pearl was completely wrapped by the thin film, it no longer displayed the extraordinary use of absorbing souls.

Mo Duanhun was standing beside him while watching Shi Yan’s actions. He saw that the Soul Gathering Pearl in Shi Yan’s hand absorbed all of the souls from the Soul Gathering Pool. When he saw Shi Yan spit on the Soul Gathering pearl, his expression became a little strange.

But from the beginning to the end, Mo Dunahun didn’t asked about anything.

“Alright, we can get going now.” Everything was ready. Shi Yan carefully kept the Soul Gathering Pearl, and then finally smiled at Mo Duanhun.

Mo Duanhun nodded.

A wave of mind power was casted out, and the Cyan Blood Bat below him immediately expanded its wings and flew up towards the direction of the Wind Thunder Lion.

A level six Cyan Blood Bat had an extremely fast flying speed. However, Mo Duanhun didn’t rush but instead, he made the Cyan Blood Bat slow down so that the other lower-level Cyan Blood Bats could catch up.

Ahead of them, the Wind Thunder Lion that He Qingman mounted on, was also not flying very fast. It seemed to be waiting for Mo Duanhun.

Although He Qingman didn’t like Shi Yan,she knew that this was still the Hengluo Sea; it was not under the control of the Evil Wonderland and they might even meet strong warriors from the Three Gods Sect, the Gu family, or the Dongfang family.

Before entering the Kyara Sea, she didn’t dare to distance away from Mo Duanhun too far.

Clouds Island wasn’t small; after Shi Yan went ashore, it still took him a few days to get to the valley.

However, once he sat on the Cyan Blood Bat, it was many times faster flying from the top of the valley towards outside Yunxia Island. In just about half an hour, the Cyan Blood Bats already flew out of Clouds Island.

After leaving Clouds Island, Shi Yan was just about to speak, when he looked down and suddenly saw a familiar boat.

Looking down condescendingly, he could faintly see that next to the messy pile of cargo in the back, there was a slightly vague beautiful figure. The figure had her long hair flying in the wind making her appear beautiful.

Shi Yan sighed in his mind; his expression appeared slightly gloomy. He shook his head lightly.

In the sea, the boat slowly sailed.

On the deck, Jett, Nano, and the rest all raised their heads. They pointed at the Cyan Blood Bats that flew above while shouting.

“Look! Cyan Blood Bats! The Yang family’s Cyan Blood Bats!”

“Shura Blood Guards! The one on the Cyan Blood Guard in the foremost position must be the Shura King Mo Duanhun!”

“Hey, why is there two figures? The Cyan Blood Bat that Mo Duanhun is sitting on should be level six! That Cyan Blood Bat is in the lead meaning that it should belong to the Shura King Mo Duanhun... but who’s the other guy?”

“Who knows. It’s so far away that I can’t see clearly.”

“That’s definitely the most distinguished figure in the Yang family! Or else they wouldn’t have the right to ride a level six Cyan Blood Bat. The Cyan Blood Bats have left Clouds Island; I wonder how the negotiations between the Yang and Gu families went.”

“How else could it be? You think the Gu family would dare go against the Yang family?”

“It’s hard to say. When we left from Clouds Island, didn’t we see the island get covered in darkness? Maybe some changes really happened on Clouds Island?”

“Who cares. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We are just in charge of delivering the things here.”

“...”

Jett, Nano, and the rest all raised their heads to look. They chattered amongst themselves.

In the corner of the boat, Carmon and Huo Jie scowled. They also raised their heads to look up into the sky while watching the two blurry figures on top of the Cyan Blood Bat.

Linda stood at the area where Shi Yan often sat, dazed. She didn’t look into the sky and no one knew what she was thinking.

“Hey! That guy! That guy!” Jett’s eyes were extremely sharp. After staring at the Cyan Blood Bat up ahead for a long while, he suddenly shook, and seemed to have discovered something.

“Jett, what are you screaming about?” Nano casually asked.

“Nothing, nothing.” Jett shook his head. He suspected that his eyes were mistaken. When he wanted to look more closely, he realized that the Cyan Blood Bats were already far away; he could no longer see the figure on top.

After hesitating for a while on the deck, Jett quietly came to where Linda was at.

Seeing that Linda was still standing there dazing, Jett quietly sighed inside. He came to try to persuade her: “Sister Linda, he won’t come back. Before we left, didn’t we wait for two days? He didn’t come, meaning that he will never come back. Sister Linda, you should forget about him.”

Linda’s dazed eyes slowly became sober again. She glimpsed at Jett and said lightly: “What are you doing here?”

“I…” Jett hesitated.

“Spill it!” Linda frowned and said impatiently.

“The Yang family’s Cyan Blood Bats just flew over our heads. Sister Linda, did you notice?”

Shaking her head, Linda said: “I didn’t notice, why?”

“On the Cyan Blood Bat in the lead, there were two people.” Jett continued.

“So there were two people. What’s that got to do with us?” Linda’s pretty brows furrowed as she said impatiently: “Jett, if there’s something you have to say can’t you just say it directly? You keep muttering; what are you even doing?”

“The Cyan Blood Bat in the lead are always of the highest level. The people who mount them also should be the most distinguished figures. It is said that this time, the leader from the Yang family is the top of the three Shura Kings, Mo Duanhun. The one person sitting on that level six Cyan Blood Bat should be Mo Duanhun, but the other one…”

When Jett spoke to this part, he paused again.

Linda was mad as she shouted coldly: “Would you stop that already? What do you want to say?”

“Sister Linda, you know that my eyes are quite sharp, right?” Jett put up a wry smile.

“Mhm, your stealthy eyes are quite sharp.” Linda nodded, her expression was still cold, “Why?”

“I don’t know if I was mistaken.” Jett’s face was filled with a bitter smile, “I think that the other person that was sitting with the Shura King Mo Duanhun, should… should be Shi Yan!”

Linda’s delicate body shook as her eyes filled with disbelief.

“Someone who can sit with Mo Duanhun is no normal figure. I, I might really have been mistaken. Shi Yan is only in the Disaster realm. No matter how you see it, he’s not qualified to sit with Mo Duanhun. Sister Linda, just see it as I’m bull**ting; I didn’t see it that clearly either.”

Seeing that Linda’s delicate body shook and that her expression drastically changed, Jett was startled. He immediately explained.

Linda was already dazed. Her eyes were unfocused while she blankly looked at the Cyan Blood Bats on the sky that already formed into black dots. Her expression was extremely complicated.

Could it, could it really be him?

“Is uncle Xiao still alive?” On the Cyan Blood Bat, Shi Yan sat steadily when he suddenly spoke out of nowhere.

Mo Duanhun was truly something else. On the way, he was silent; he didn’t ask anything about him, how he got out of the seizing of the Ice Cold Flame, nor what method he used that could suppress the soul of the Demon master Mojito.

Shi Yan prepared many lies that were originally prepared against Mo Duanhun’s interrogation, but he realized that he prepared for nothing.

This guy was clearly curious, but he had held back and did not ask about anything. This made the lies that had Shi Yan prepared, completely useless.

Mo Duanhun and Xiao Hanyi were both Shura Kings from the Yang family, but his personality was the exact opposite from Xiao Hanyi.

Xiao Hanyi was arrogant and audacious; he was also a cultivation freak. But once he had free time, he would still joke with Shi Yan in an ill-mannered way and even tease about Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan’s relationship.

But Mo Duanhun was different.

This guy was almost like a piece of wood. Ever since Shi Yan mounted on the Cyan Blood Bat, he hadn’t said a thing.

He didn’t speak on his own will, but Shi Yan still wanted to know some things about the Yang family and about Xiao Hanyi. Since Yang Qingdi could predict that he was alive, then he must have been able to predict about Xiao Hanyi. Shi Yan greatly appreciated Xiao Hanyi and he really didn’t want anything to happen to him; thus, he wanted to ask.

“Alive.” Mo Duanhun answered crisp and simple.

“Uh.” Shi Yan smiled wryly, “In Immortal Island, or the Demon Area?”

“In the Fourth Demon Area, he is temporarily constrained. The head of the family already went to the Fourth Demon Area just to rescue him.” Mo Duanhun turned his head to look at Shi Yan once, and then finally said a few more sentences.

“This time when The Demon King Bo Xun’s Skeletal Avatar reappeared, why did it return so quickly? Why didn’t it attack us?”

“The Skeletal Avatar attacks through the dimensions, its powers cannot be completely exerted. Plus, if it were to attack, it would be greatly damaged afterwards.” Mo Duanhun explained, paused, and then continued: “And he knows that I carry the Image of Universal Nature with me.”

“So that’s why.” Shi Yan nodded, “The Demon Master Mojito used a special method in order to have his soul appear to this place. He was summoned here using the power of thousands of souls. He was summoned here by the father and son Gu Lie and Gu Jiange, so he wasn’t affected by the rules of the dimensions…”

Shi Yan didn’t mention the Soul Gathering Pearl; he blamed everything on the thousands of civilian souls summoned by Gu Lie and Gu Jiange. He hinted that Mojito’s arrival won’t damage his soul and that afterwards, when he returned to the Fourth Demon Area, he still wouldn’t have much injuries.

“The things concerning you, the Ice Cold Flame, and what happened inside the valley, you can explained them in detail when you return to Immortal Island and meet the head of the family.” Mo Duanhun nodded, and then squinted, “I don’t want to ask about much. However, if you choose to tell me on your own accord, I will listen.”

“If you want to listen, I can tell you some things. If you’re not interested in listening, then I have no interest in telling either.” Shi Yan chuckled. He felt that the old guy Mo Duanhun was quite interesting. He clearly wanted to know, but he didn’t forwardly ask. He wondered if that’s him following rules, or just having a weird temper.

Mo Duanhun’s lips twitched; his expression was strange. After a long moment, he finally said indifferently: “You can say it.”

“The Ice Cold Flame is inside my body. It didn’t seize me, but I can’t defeat it either. Right now, we are peacefully coexisting.” Shi Yan smirked, and then said lightly.

Mo Duanhun’s eyes brightened. He stared at Shi Yan deeply for a long while, and then finally nodded slowly: “It really is the case.”

“I heard that to merge with the Ice Cold Flame, you need nine of the most Yang powered and scorching precious treasures. Does the Yang family have precious treasures like that?” Shi Yan smiled.

“Yes, but only three of them.” Mo Duanhun’s eyes became brighter and brighter, “Although they’re not enough for now, but once you meet the head of the family, he should be willing to try everything to gather the rest for you. Once you are really capable enough to tame the Ice Cold Flame, all the materials you lack, the Yang family will think of ways to get them for you!”

“Hehe, I painstakingly came to the Endless Sea. Sure didn’t come for nothing.”
