Fusang
Bai Qiuran brandished the Clear Autumn Waters, using the currents of the Vast Sea to suck the last Ghost Realm sailboat into the sky.
There, the endless seawater, under his control, had transformed into a gigantic water prison suspended in mid-air, trapping the entire Ghost Realm longship fleet inside.
The endless seawater sealed off these Underworld Emissary, oppressing them, but since the Underworld Emissary did not need to breathe, Bai Qiuran did not need to worry about drowning them.
Is this what Authority is?
The other three girls rested their chins on their hands, pointing and gesturing at the azure Sword Finger in Bai Qiuran's hand.
"Indeed, only a weapon forged with the Authority a great god could withstand his power."
"But Qiuran."
Su Xiangxue asked again, "Why are the people from the Ghost Realm causing you trouble? What did you do wrong?"
"I haven't done anything wrong, nor have I offended the Ghost Realm."
Bai Qiuran said, "However, I can roughly guess who issued the arrest warrant for me."
Who is it?
Tang Ruowei and Li Jinyao were both very curious.
"Who else could it be?"
Wisdom Immortal flew off Bai Qiuran's belt, swaying as she said, "Of course it's the thieving Heaven."
No sooner had it finished speaking than a thunderclap flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar. But Bai Qiuran looked up, the lightning had vanished without a trace.
"See? This is what it means to bully the weak and fear the strong."
Wisdom Immortal said, relying on his power to bully others.
"But what should we do with these Underworld Emissary?"
Su Xiangxue asked, "Wouldn't killing them rashly disrupt the Order of Heaven and Earth?"
"I wasn't planning on killing them."
The Ghost Realm was created by Bai Qiuran, so killing these Underworld Emissary is tantamount to killing his own creation.
He looked up into the water prison. Xue Ling happened to be floating on the edge of the prison. Seeing him looking over, the dead-faced Underworld Emissary pounded on the seawater prison wall and shouted telepathically, "Let us go back quickly! I still have several thousand dead people waiting to be dealt with there."
"If I release you, will you still arrest me?"
Bai Qiuran asked.
"That's a must."
Xue Ling answered frankly, "There are no exceptions on the Ghost Realm Most Wanted List."
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Bai Qiuran shook her head.
"Please bear with me and stay here until I meet my wife."
"Impossible!"
Xue Ling his voice and said, "Do you know how many dead people we have to deal with every day?"
"Then will you arrest me?"
"Of course we'll catch them."
Bai Qiuran began to ponder whether there was something wrong with how he created the Ghost Realm.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now it seems Xue Ling has gone way too far with his brain.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Bai Qiuran spread his hands towards Xue Ling and said, "Anyway, I know the Ghost Realm well. The riverbank next to the Styx is so big, the dead can play on the sand and stones for a few days, right?"
How do you know how big the Styx's banks are?
Xue Ling asked.
Bai Qiuran ignored him and the group of clamoring Underworld Emissary, had Su Xiangxue turn the boat around, and prepared to continue heading towards Fusang.
Is it okay to do this?
As Su Xiangxue turned around, Tang Ruowei glanced back at the Underworld Emissary sealed in the water dungeon.
"No problem, it'll only take a few days."
Bai Qiuran didn't go to see Xue Ling and the others.
"The Ghost Realm isn't just populated by them, and I know very well how vast the Styx is."
Just as the bow of the boat Mobile, Xue Ling called out to them again.
"Wait! I'm not going to arrest you."
Xue Ling shouted at Bai Qiuran.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Qiuran stopped the boat after Su Xiangxue, then looked up and asked, "Giving in isn't your style."
"An Immortal Official just came to deliver an order to withdraw your arrest warrant."
Xue Ling paused, then asked, "You also have connections in the Immortal Realm... Has your Master risen to prominence?"
Bai Qiuran, then shook her head.
"It's probably not my Master's fault."
"Just put us down already."
Xue Ling urged, "There's an urgent matter in the Ghost Realm."
Bai Qiuran glanced at them, raised his sword, and set them down.
"Senior Bai."
Seeing this, Li Jinyao asked, "Aren't you afraid they'll go back on their word?"
Of course people will change their minds.
Bai Qiuran shook her head.
"But the Underworld Emissary, or rather, Xue Ling, would never say one thing and do another."
Sure enough, after releasing them, Xue Ling silently led his men into the Void. As soon as he left, the thunderclouds dispersed, and all the Sea Beasts in the nearby sea area were frightened away, clearing a path for Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran and her group continued their journey. Under the protection of Clear Autumn Waters, who possessed Vast Sea Divine Authority, they encountered almost no Sea Beasts along the way and successfully arrived in Fusang.
The Fusang Four Islands were still the same size as he remembered, only the coastline had changed, but the Divine Fusang Tree that should have stood on these islands was gone.
They disembarked in a port City in Fusang, but surprisingly, the Fusang was not as bustling as they had imagined.
Having heard of the name Fusang Immortal Palace and seen how respectful the Monster Race Cloud Kun Chancellor was to the Fusang Immortal Palace, Bai Qiuran assumed that Fusang was a highly developed country. But now, seeing it, he realized that its port City were even less developed than the small mortal Capital of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.
The laborers Commoners coming and going at the port even made a special trip to watch when they saw such a large ship docking.
I thought this was some kind of paradise.
Su Xiangxue looked at the Commoners and shook her head.
"The average physical condition of these people is weaker than that of ordinary people in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. Is it due to malnutrition?"
"It's probably because there aren't enough resources."
Bai Qiuran.
"It seems Lan'er hasn't interfered too much with the mortal world here."
Hearing Bai Qiuran use such an intimate term to address a woman he had never met before, Li Jinyao pouted.
"Senior Bai, where is your wife?"
"I don't know either. I originally left her on the Fusang Divine Tree to be cared for by the Sun Mother Xi He and the Three-Legged Crow, but now..."
Bai Qiuran looked up at the sky.
"Even the Fusang Divine Tree has disappeared; my disciple has done far too much of a transformation."
"So where do we begin our search?"
Su Xiangxue asked.
Let's get ashore first.
Bai Qiuran shook her head.
"Anyway, Fusang isn't a very big place, so I'll just keep you company while you have some fun."
Hearing him say that, the three girls were all a little happy.
Once ashore, the group dealt with several scoundrels and samurai who coveted beauty and treasure, refused the arrival of the local Daimyo, and then quickly left.
The boat was protected by a joint spell cast by Su Xiangxue and Li Jinyao, so there was no need to worry about it being stolen. The four of them left the small town and then casually followed a road.
A day later, the group arrived at the outskirts of a village with inhabitants.
