Lying Low in Dawang Village; Infiltration by the Purplewood Sect?

Below Purplewood Island, before even reaching the end of the path, the roar of surging waves immediately filled the air.

The surging, overwhelming force could be heard from afar even before I witnessed it; this feeling arose from the sound itself.

He didn't use his Divine Sense; this was the first time he had ever heard the sea.

I couldn't help but feel a bit disdainful of Blue Wave Wine.

That wine simply couldn't describe the real ocean, so it's no wonder that Mo Family sold Blue Wave Wine, apart from the Ye Family being excited, the other major Lineage remained unmoved.

Because Blue Wave Wine is just a beautified version of wine.

Ye Jingcheng quickly reached the end of the path, where a transparent barrier isolated him from the seawater.

The clear blue seawater seemed even clearer than Soaring Cloud Lake.

But the surging situation was far beyond what Soaring Cloud Lake could compare to; the undercurrents on the seabed were like raging pythons, constantly darting about.

Its surging current is incomparable to that of ordinary rivers and lakes.

Ye Jingcheng had never been to Returning Goose Commandery to see the Green River. The Green River was said to be several hundred feet wide and incredibly vast, but it was certainly not as impressive as what he saw before him.

Ye Jingcheng rushed out of the barrier and felt the overwhelming pressure of the sea. He immediately felt as if he were being suppressed by the spiritual pressure of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

This feeling was extremely strange, and it should be noted that the sea he was in at this moment was probably not even the deepest part.

The pressure is probably even greater in the deepest parts.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt that the Body Cultivators in the Azure Cloud Sea Region must be extremely extraordinary.

After all, the sea is the best place to train one's body.

Of course, after a brief period of adjustment, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Spirit Diagram he remembered.

He didn't linger in the sea for too long. Having been the head of the family for so many years, his temperament rarely wavered.

To be able to achieve this today is already a long-awaited expectation, and the current situation is indeed quite different.

Water escape techniques in the sea were not difficult for Ye Jingcheng, except that initially they were used around the Purplewood Island where the Ye Family lived.

Ye Jingcheng needs to proceed with caution. Once he passes the main island and reaches some nearby ordinary islands or branch islands, he will no longer need to be so wary.

After flying for half a day, we arrived at an ordinary island. This island has an inner lake where some bluefish are raised, which is considered a local specialty, making the island quite famous.

Ye Jingcheng didn't linger in front of the island; he had become somewhat numb to the boundless sea and the clear blue sky.

He leaped out of the sea from the side, and his figure changed again. This time, he became a burly man with dark skin, and all his spiritual power was completely contained within him.

His skin appeared exceptionally dark, and after reaching the shore, he headed towards a small fishing village.

Occasionally, one can see cultivators flying around in the sky.

Unlike the Eastern Region, there are fewer cultivators flying on swords here. Most of them use flying shuttles and long, narrow wind-breaking Spirit Boats Spirit Boat, which can also float on water.

This allows cultivators to continue traveling on the sea even when they run out of Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, its defensive capabilities are also extremely good.

As Ye Jingcheng walked steadily, another dock appeared in the distance.

On the dock, figures moved about, countless cultivators mixed with mortals, currently moving large boxes.

The bluefish on Greenfish Island are very large, dozens of times larger than the Red-Node Fish. They are classified as first-grade low-quality bluefish. These fish are fresh and not fishy, and are extremely popular in the Azure Cloud Sea Region. In addition, they are not expensive, so they are not transported by Spirit Beast bracelets, but by boat.

Unlike in the Yan Kingdom, the mortals here rarely see immortals.

Those who are strong and have some martial arts skills will also go out to sea with cultivators to hunt and kill Demon Beast.

Those with slightly less strength would also do odd jobs on the island, such as carrying finished grass carp or grass carp materials.

Great Prosperity Village is such a village. The older ones go out hunting with the cultivators, while the younger ones stay here carrying spirit fish. Only those with some talent feed the blue fish in Qinghu Lake.

After observing for a while, Ye Jingcheng arrived at Great Prosperity Village. Great Prosperity Village was not prosperous, with only a little over a hundred people in the entire village, and it seemed even sparsely populated during the day.

The lush coconut palms and scattered fields make Great Prosperity Village seem even more ordinary and unremarkable.

Such entities are not uncommon on Greenfish Island, and even more so across the Skycloud Archipelago.

"Is anyone there?" Ye Jingcheng asked as he arrived at the village entrance.

At this moment, he is just a martial artist who survived a sea hunt for demons. He will stay in Great Prosperity Village for the next half month and work as a fish carrier at the dock where he was before.

Understanding the habits of fishermen will better suit Tang Cheng's identity.

His first test was to carry fish in the fishing village without being recognized as a cultivator.

"Who are you looking for?" The wooden buildings here are all stilted houses, and the people inside came out when they heard someone calling.

He was a middle-aged man, Zhong Fuyun, who was also the village head of Great Prosperity Village.

Like all cultivators in the sea, Zhong Fuyun was rather dark-skinned.

"Village chief, my name is Black City, and I am a mortal servant of Master Li..." Ye Jingcheng said, following the pre-arranged introduction.

"Alright, you can join our village too!" Zhong Fuyun didn't think much of it. The mortality rate of mortals in the Azure Cloud Sea Region was too high. To be honest, he didn't even know how many people were left in Great Prosperity Village. The highest order of the Purplewood Sect to every village chief was to ensure the village's population.

After finding a place for Ye Jingcheng, he arrived at the pier that evening.

Some Qi Refining cultivators acted as commanders, directing a group of mortals to carry huge boxes containing water and bluefish onto the ship.

These ordinary people sometimes uttered vulgar language, and sometimes spoke in dialects unique to the Eastern Sea.

Ye Jingcheng kept all of this in mind.

He did not let his guard down just because he was Purple Mansion cultivator.

Although no Taiyi Sect forces have infiltrated the entire Azure Cloud Sea Region, the Ye Family has learned that the Green River Sect does have influence. This is why the Ye Family is so cautious about all cultivators who come to the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

He first transformed himself from an ordinary person, then went through the marketplace, and finally took Ye Jingcheng into the sect as a disciple, entrusting him with important responsibilities.

Therefore, even though the Purplewood Sect rose to prominence very quickly, no cultivator suspected the Ye Family.

For the Ye Family, the Purplewood Sect and Purplewood Island were merely a facade and a place to install Teleportation Arrays. The true Ye Family forces had long since transformed into Hidden Islands and headed towards the Outer Sea.

The Azure Cloud Sea Region is divided into six major island groups.

These are the six major island groups: Tianyun, Luoyun, Chiyun, Yuyun, Ziyun, and Qiuyun.

Among them, the Skycloud Archipelago, Falling Cloud Archipelago, and Red Cloud Archipelago are located near the Outer Sea and are the most vulnerable to being swept away by Beast Tides.

The Ye Family's Purplewood Sect is located in the waters of the Skycloud Archipelago.

The Purple Cloud Archipelago are close to the Heavenly Horse Sea Region, which is considered an inland Heavenly Horse Sea Region. There is also a behemoth here, the Eastern Heaven Sect, a Nascent Soul sect.

Whenever a once-in-a-century Beast Tide occurs, the cultivators of the Azure Cloud Sea Region will retreat to the Heavenly Horse Sea Region, or even more severely, to the Cultivation Worlds of the Qi Kingdom Cultivation World and Lu Kingdoms.

There are even more Nascent Soul sects there.

Of course, the most chaotic place is the Azure Cloud Sea Region. The Purple Mansion forces here sometimes don't seem like Purple Mansion forces, and the Foundation Establishment forces sometimes don't seem like Foundation Establishment forces.

Sometimes, even those Rogue Cultivators have quite a background.

The entire Azure Cloud Alliance only gathers when resisting the Beast Tide and when holding large-scale auctions and trade fairs.

Of course, Teleportation Arrays are not ordinary items in the Azure Cloud Sea Region; they are extremely rare.

But Ye Jingcheng knew in his heart that other forces would definitely have Teleportation Arrays as well.

Because Nascent Soul Cultivators can refine teleportation jades and possess void coordinates.

"You all better watch out! These days are the Dragon Gate Days for the Immortal Fish. If you neglect these Immortal Fish, let alone redeeming you and taking you back to the Heavenly Horse Sea Region, we'll kill you on the spot without hesitation!" A cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining said fiercely to everyone.

The cultivator, dressed in the robes of the Purplewood Sect, looked exceptionally imposing.

Ye Jingcheng didn't care about the quality of the disciples of the Purplewood Sect, since the Purplewood Sect was too casual in recruiting disciples.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to assign identities to the cultivators of the Ye Family.

Therefore, all sorts of monsters and demons can be found there.

Moreover, the surrounding forces would assume that the Purplewood Sect was nothing more than a few arrogant cultivators who had established their sect.

They thought the Purplewood Sect was on the verge of collapse.

But Ye Jingcheng knew very well that in addition to not caring about status, the Purplewood Sect was also very discerning about cultivators' judgment. Cultivators who were prone to causing trouble were either eliminated or placed in places like this as outer disciples.

This kind of differential treatment is something the Ye Family has long been adept at.

Ye Jingcheng was Purple Mansion cultivator, so moving a box with four people was naturally quite easy for him. However, even without using Spiritual Qi, Ye Jingcheng still broke out in a sweat.

"Your stance is weak, and you speak in a muffled voice. Are you from the inland?" Among the four people moving with Ye Jingcheng, one was particularly talkative.

He initially focused on the other two, but once Ye Jingcheng arrived, he kept pressing him for Ye Jingcheng.

This made Ye Jingcheng somewhat self-deprecating.

He thought his performance was good enough, but now an ordinary person had seen through it and even looked down on him.

Fortunately, he wasn't really in his early twenties, so he didn't lose face.

He just kept silent, offering no further response.

After observing the man several times, Ye Jingcheng finally had to admit that he was indeed just an ordinary person.

However, the other two among the four were quite suspicious, as they were actually two very strong Body Cultivators. According to Ye Jingcheng's estimation, they might at least have the strength of Foundation Establishment.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng. After all, he thought it was already quite absurd that a fish carrier had come, let alone two Foundation Establishment.

Of course, since he didn't use his Divine Sense, Ye Jingcheng didn't know anything too specific.

But Ye Jingcheng was reminded of the Dragon Gate Festival.

The Dragon Gate Festival is a relatively lively day in the Azure Cloud Sea Region. On this day, many cultivators eat bluefish.

It was as if he could absorb the Dragon Gate Qi of the blue carp, and his cultivation would greatly improve.

But Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't understand why.

After all, in his view, the fish with the legend of the Dragon Gate is the carp, not the bluefish.

Moreover, the bluefish is merely a relatively mild, low-grade first-tier spirit fish; it's hardly magical.

On the tenth day since Ye Jingcheng came to the pier, the night sky was exceptionally clear, with a great many stars.

Perhaps it's because of the sea, but the starry sky here is even brighter than that of the Yan Kingdom.

Even at night, without the Moonlight Stone, it is clearly visible.

Today, the initial construction period for the entire dock has also been extended.

Ye Jingcheng was one of them.

He noticed a brighter look in the eyes of the other two, and he knew that something unexpected might happen today.

He couldn't help but sigh; a sect is still a sect, and a hybrid one at that.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's either a coordinated attack from within or an attack from outside, or it's going to be robbed by Bandit Cultivator.

However, Ye Jingcheng did not intend to make a move.

The entire Purplewood Sect might be able to be reorganized because of this incident.

This conveniently overshadowed Ye Xuecang's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

Sure enough, the last batch of spirit fish was delivered in the middle of the night.

In the past, there were always huge fish, but today there was a small box containing what appeared to be a small fish.

Ye Jingcheng, who was carrying the boxes, didn't get a box with small fish, and couldn't see the small fish inside clearly.

However, Ye Jingcheng was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, the Treasure Book within his body lit up, displaying five layers of spiritual light.

This means that Spirit Beast capable of advancing five times passed in front of him.

This naturally surprised Ye Jingcheng.

Has the Purplewood Sect been infiltrated so severely?
