Rumble—!
The moment Chen Fan finished speaking, the ground shook violently once more. A massive wave crashed straight onto the land, slamming out a huge crater. The sea churned as clouds and rain overturned, savage billows and terrifying waves raging. 🐸👊 ♞💲
"Damn it, with such a huge commotion, could it really not be some supreme treasure coming into being?" Bald Bird's eyes widened as he cried out.
"Something is indeed wrong. By this time, the people from the Immortal Sect should have arrived too, yet there has been no sign of them," Old Yellow Tooth said, a trace of suspicion appearing on his face.
Chen Fan put the Six Paths Jade Disk back into his Storage Ring and shook his head. "The supreme treasure truly has yet to emerge, and the direction it indicates isn't this stretch of sea before us, but the center of the ocean."
"What? The center of the ocean? Wouldn't that still be two hours away?" Old Yellow Tooth asked in surprise.
"Damn it, we've definitely been tricked. That little monk lied to us! Old Yellow Tooth, what kind of people did you find?" Bald Bird snapped.
"He likely wasn't lying, but the hall beneath this sea may be a trap deliberately laid by someone!" Chen Fan's expression hardened as he spoke in a low voice.
"The Immortal Sect's doing?" Bald Bird asked.
"Not sure." Chen Fan shook his head. "We'll take a detour and sneak toward the center of the sea."
With that, he rode his sword into the sky and swept toward the sea's surface. Seeing this, Old Yellow Tooth immediately followed.
The little monk squeezed out from the crowd. Watching Chen Fan and Old Yellow Tooth leave, his eyes rolled, and he promptly turned and ran toward the Ancient City...
