You're Wanted
Disturbed by a group of high-ranking members of the Azure Nether Sword Sect, the three girls were no longer sleepy.
So they simply washed and cleaned themselves up, and came to see Bai Qiuran unpack the package.
Bai Qiuran opened the gift boxes and found that they were filled with medicinal herbs. Each Elder's gift box contained one or two herbs, which together made up the ingredients for a Longevity Pill.
Bai Qiuran needs these things. He hasn't been back for too long, and he owes Xue Ling thirty years of his life. He needs to take drugs to make up for it.
These younger disciples are really thoughtful.
He used these materials to refine a batch of pills, and a few days later, Bai Qiuran prepared to set off for Fusang to find Jiang Lan.
He planned to bring Tang Ruowei along to pay her respects to his Master's Wife, but before setting off, he still asked Su Xiangxue for her opinion.
As a result, not only Su Xiangxue wanted to go, but even Li Jinyao insisted on going to Fusang, saying she wanted to see it for herself.
So he waited a few more days, waiting for Su Xiangxue to bring people back and leave the sect affairs to her disciple You Meiqiao, and also waiting for Li Jinyao to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect to ask Ji Lingyun for leave or simply run away from home.
After everyone had gathered, Bai Qiuran led the three of them to the Demon Realm.
After the death of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, the Monster Race lost its suppression in the near seas. Powerful Sea Beasts at the Body Integration Stage and above began to appear in the original navigable sea areas, hindering the passage of Monster Race merchant ships.
Su Xiangxue's cheap Demon Emperor brother and Chancellor Yun organized forces to fight it several times, but Sea Beasts comparable to Earth Immortal appeared in the inner sea. With the current strength of the Demon Realm, they had no way to deal with that Sea Beasts.
To avoid even greater losses, the Demon Emperor was forced to change course, and now the Monster Race's merchant ships are almost all sailing close to the coastline.
Upon hearing that Bai Qiuran and his companions were heading to Fusang, deep within the Vast Sea, the Monster Race fleets refused to go. Left with no other choice, Bai Qiuran bought a ship on the Eastern Coast of the Demon Realm and, based on her memory, sailed towards the place where the Fusang Divine Tree was originally located.
They had barely sailed a few miles out to sea when a dangerous, enormous shadow darted past beneath the waves.
"The sea feels so dangerous..."
Tang Ruowei stared at the blade-like dorsal fin emerging from the Tao Mountain and muttered to herself, her face pale.
Are you scared?
Bai Qiuran asked.
"Mainly at sea."
Tang Ruowei peered curiously at the waves below.
"In a naval battle, Sea Beasts would definitely have the advantage over us."
"Don't worry."
Bai Qiuran pulled her back from the side of the boat.
If you're not confident, just don't go look at it.
The Sea Beasts in this area had been besieged by the Demon Emperor, so their strength wasn't very high. The Sea Beasts that had just wandered around the ship only lingered nearby for a while before wisely leaving.
The ship continued its journey and finally encountered a powerful Sea Beasts with strength comparable to an earth Earth Immortal near the edge of the sea.
This Sea Beasts had flipper-like limbs, a tiger's head on its head, and a huge body, like a mountain floating on the sea. It manipulated Wind and Thunder, engulfing a nearby sea area in a storm, showing some of the power of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor.
Let me handle it.
Seeing Bai Qiuran preparing to draw her sword, Su Xiangxue suddenly volunteered, "It's a good opportunity for me to test the strength of this clone."
Bai Qiuran naturally did not intend to disappoint Su Xiangxue. After agreeing to her request, a light immediately emanated from behind Su Xiangxue, and a woman with a face that looked exactly like her appeared in the light. However, this woman had long, snow-white hair, dragon horns on her head, and some snow-white dragon scales on her wrists and neck.
She opened her white eyes, then transformed into a nine-headed, winged white dragon and flew out, cutting through the wind and rain, to fight the powerful Sea Beasts.
Although her cultivation level was slightly lower, Su Xiangxue had the advantage in Divine Ability, spells, and Cultivation Technique, while the Sea Beasts seemed to only have wild instincts. After fighting for a while, the Nine-Headed White Dragon spewed out wind, frost, rain, and snow, which quickly froze the entire Sea Beasts, and then whipped it into pieces with its tail.
The blood of the Sea Beasts stained a large area of the sea red, and many pieces of flesh were frozen into icebergs that floated towards the ship. Li Jinyao drew her Twin Sabers and used her sword energy to shatter these huge icebergs, while Bai Qiuran quickly scooped up several good pieces of meat and threw them into her Storage Bag.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Seeing his actions, Tang Ruowei asked.
"I once ate this Sea Beasts in the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Age."
Bai Qiuran said, "Although raw meat is sour and astringent, it becomes a rare delicacy after being cooked carefully. We can save it for later consumption."
This Sea Beasts was one of the few cooked dishes served at the Heavenly Palace banquets at that time. The tastes of those Heavenly Gods were far different from Bai Qiuran's back then; they valued fresh and delicious food more than blood.
So when Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan sometimes had to attend banquets, these few dishes that had to be cooked to taste good became one of their few salvations. Bai Qiuran remembered all of their types very clearly.
Su Xiangxue withdrew her clone, looked up at the sky, and frowned, saying, "Strange, the Sea Beasts is dead, why hasn't the storm subsided yet?"
Bai Qiuran also looked up, and after a moment, he frowned and said, "Has someone taken control of this storm?"
Not long after she finished speaking, Li Jinyao suddenly pointed into the wind and rain and shouted, "Look, there's a boat over there!"
As everyone looked, they indeed saw a large black sailing ship emerging from the waves, and behind it, countless other ships of various sizes, all painted in dark black, sailing out of the sea.
That was clearly a fleet of ships, and they were coming for them.
Bai Qiuran cupped his hands in greeting towards the fleet and called out loudly, "May I ask who comes here?"
His voice pierced through the wind and rain, and moments later, patches of green will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared on the fleet of ships.
"Huh?"
Upon seeing this scene, Bai Qiuran surprise, "Ghost Ships?"
"It's me."
A familiar voice rang out, and the fleet immediately accelerated, quickly arriving in front of Bai Qiuran. Bai Qiuran glanced at the ships and saw that they were all dressed in black or white, with pale Underworld Emissary, and on the leading ship stood Xue Ling and his Deputy Ming Ying.
The atmosphere was so heavy with Yin Qi that it even suppressed the wind and rain. Even the three girls, Su Xiangxue, who were originally unable to see them, could now clearly see these Underworld Emissary.
"Qiuran, who are they?"
Su Xiangxue asked.
"Underworld Emissary."
Bai Qiuran answered, then looked at Xue Ling.
"What? You're here to cause trouble? Sorry, I should have already made up for the missing Lifespan. Your Ghost Realm's own system malfunctioned; I'm not taking the blame for that." (And illustrations)
"That's not why."
Xue Ling stood on the ramming horn of the ship's bow, which resembled a Ghost Head.
I'm here with good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?
"Hmm... what's the good news?"
"The good news is that your name has been officially removed from the Book of Life and Death."
Xue Ling replied.
"Then why did you bring people to ambush me?"
Bai Qiuran asked dismissively, "What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is, you're now at the top of the Ghost Realm Most Wanted List. We don't know who put you there, but it was sent with the highest level of urgency and encryption, and they even issued a decree of Heavenly Punishment and Earthly Destruction."
Xue Ling said to Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran paused for a moment.
Could you elaborate a bit on what it means to be wanted like this?
"No, no one in history has ever reached your level."
Xue Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "However, there is one fellow who is slightly inferior to you. Tens of thousands of years ago, he attempted to assassinate the Immortal Emperor. After failing, he went to the Immortal Emperor's Home to attempt to humiliate the Imperial Consort. After failing again, he went to the far east of the Far Eastern Immortal Realm to start a rebellion. In the end, he was defeated, Souls escaped to another lower realm. He was wanted, and the entire Underworld Emissary in charge of that lower Ghost Realm mobilized to capture him and imprison him in Abyssal Hell, where he will never be able to rise again."
"So..."
Bai Qiuran looked at him.
"So, I'm sorry."
Xue Ling brandished the Iron Chains in his hand and shouted, "All of you, listen to my command! Capture him at all costs!"
