Chapter 2004: Chapter 2001: Hidden Spirit Boat!
Crescent Island, located on the Second Ring of the God-Demon Sea, or the Outer Region.
Within the God-Demon Sea and the East Continent Academy, ranks are extremely strict. Registered Disciples cannot casually enter the Outer Region, and Outer Sect Disciples cannot casually enter the Inner Gate Area.
Outer Sect Disciples can freely go to the God-Demon Sea’s outskirts, which is the area for Registered Disciples. Meanwhile, Inner Disciples can traverse the God-Demon Sea freely, except certain Forbidden Areas, which they cannot enter.
On the Boundless Sea Area of the God-Demon Sea, Lin Bai looked at the sea map in his hand, then looked towards the ever-widening sea area.
"This place has already reached within a hundred thousand miles radius of Crescent Island."
Looking at the map, the Spirit Boat had already entered Crescent Island’s region, Lin Bai murmured, "If there are no surprises, in three days, we should reach Crescent Island. Hopefully, nothing happens along the way."
Standing on the Spirit Boat, Meng Li, Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, and Shu Xiang all gazed out at the vast sea area ahead.
"There is someone."
Suddenly, Wu Ming’s eyes flickered, speaking solemnly.
Lin Bai was startled and immediately expanded his perception.
So did Meng Li, Changsun Yun, and the others.
"Why don’t we sense anyone?"
"Wu Ming, did you maybe sense incorrectly?"
"Where is there someone?"
Meng Li, Changsun Yun, and Shu Xiang expressed their confusion.
After Lin Bai expanded his perception, he couldn’t find anyone either.
Wu Ming at this moment sneered darkly, looking towards his left hand side, coolly saying, "Cultivating in the martial arts of concealment, huh."
"Unfortunately, this Concealment Technique might deceive others but certainly doesn’t deceive me."
"Come out."
Wu Ming looked to his left side, saying coldly.
As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, a thousand meters away from Lin Bai and others’ Spirit Boat, amidst the clouds, a sudden thunderclap revealed a Spirit Boat before Lin Bai and others.
"It’s really someone?"
"This Spirit Boat can actually conceal its aura, almost like it’s invisible."
Meng Li and Shu Xiang spoke in astonishment.
Wu Ming said, "This is the ’Hidden Spirit Boat’ from the Nameless Region. When flying in the air, it can automatically hide all aura and appearance."
"Even within the Nameless Region, it is considered quite valuable."
Wu Ming looked at the Spirit Boat as he spoke.
Lin Bai also curiously looked at the Hidden Spirit Boat, noticing that standing on the Spirit Boat were about thirty Warriors, all looking at Lin Bai’s Spirit Boat.
At this moment, Changsun Yun clasped his hands and said, "Everyone, you approached us hiddenly, for what purpose?"
Immediately, a robust Da Han strode out from the Hidden Spirit Boat, laughing heartily as he clasped his hands and said, "Haha, please don’t be nervous, friends. We are Outer Sect Disciples. My name is Zhang Cangyun, and we happened upon this place without any malice."
"It is merely the characteristic of the Hidden Spirit Boat that makes us hide our presence."
Exiting the Hidden Spirit Boat, the robust Da Han smiled and clasped his hands towards Lin Bai and others’ Spirit Boat.
Changsun Yun said, "Ah, so you are Outer Sect Disciples. We are Inner Disciples from the Southern Yard. My name is Changsun Yun."
The robust Da Han Zhang Cangyun exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Inner Disciples, my apologies, my apologies."
"Respected Inner Seniors, Crescent Island lies ahead. Do you require assistance from us?"
Speaking with extreme respect, especially after hearing Lin Bai and others were Inner Disciples from the Southern Yard, Zhang Cangyun demonstrated no disdain, instead showing full respect.
Changsun Yun smiled and said, "There is no particular matter, really. We’ve heard there is a variety of Qingling Fish on Crescent Island with delicious meat and thus wish to catch a few!"
After hearing this, Zhang Cangyun chuckled and said, "The Qingling Fish indeed is a rare delicacy of the God-Demon Sea, usually hidden deep in the sea and hard to locate."
"Only during the Full Moon Time does this fish surface, making it the perfect timing to catch them!"
"Tonight is the Full Moon Time, and if the honored Seniors hurry to Crescent Island by dusk, you might yield good results."
Zhang Cangyun spoke with a smile.
Changsun Yun and Meng Li, upon hearing this, realized catching Qingling Fish was indeed troublesome and required waiting till the Full Moon Time for them to appear.
Meng Li said in surprise, "Tonight is the Full Moon Time."
Shu Xiang added, "Missing tonight means we would have to wait another month at Crescent Island to catch Qingling Fish."
Changsun Yun solemnly nodded, "Indeed, the next Full Moon Time is next month!"
"Time is of the essence; let’s rush to Crescent Island at full speed."
After pondering for a moment, Changsun Yun clasped his hands towards Zhang Cangyun and said, "Thank you, Outer Sect Disciple, for your guidance. We have pressing matters and will take our leave."
Zhang Cangyun smiled and said, "Speed well, Seniors. We also have urgent matters and can’t stay long. Goodbye for now."
"May the honored Seniors have fruitful success."
After finishing, Zhang Cangyun returned to his Spirit Boat, which once again became transparent, vanishing among the clouds.
Throughout this, Lin Bai and Wu Ming had not spoken a single word.
Especially Wu Ming, upon observing the Hidden Spirit Boat, his expression turned gloomy.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai followed his intuition, believing Zhang Cangyun and the others appearing at this place were unlikely as simple passersby, as they claimed.
"Let’s go; we must reach Crescent Island before dusk."
Changsun Yun rapidly activated the Spirit Boat, speeding towards the horizon.
Meng Li and Shu Xiang were filled with enthusiasm.
Wu Ming maintained his poker face.
Leaning against the boat’s stern, Wu Ming gazed far into the distance.
Lin Bai came to Wu Ming’s side, smiling and said, "Are you still worried about Zhang Cangyun we met today?"
Wu Ming heard Lin Bai’s words, faintly smiled, and said, "Lin Bai, I remember when you looked at the map, you mentioned... according to your feeling, Crescent Island wasn’t a good place."
"You have your feeling; I have my experience!"
Curious, Lin Bai asked, "What’s your experience?"
Wu Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly, "In the Nameless Region, the appearance of a Hidden Spirit Boat is always accompanied by bloodshed and death!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s face darkened, and he asked, "Are you from the Nameless Region?"
Wu Ming slightly nodded.
"Then it could be troublesome." Seeing Wu Ming nod, Lin Bai immediately showed a bitter smile on his face.
The Nameless Region is one of the most chaotic domains within the Vast Territory of the East Continent. It’s said without exaggeration that Warriors emerging from the Nameless Region or surviving there are top-notch Strong Ones!
And since Wu Ming is a Warrior from the Nameless Region, he must have his expertise and resources!
...
As Lin Bai and others’ Spirit Boat approached Crescent Island.
Behind the Spirit Boat, on a Hidden Spirit Boat within the Void, over thirty Warriors sneered watching the Spirit Boat ahead, seeing the five people aboard.
"Let these five Inner Disciples find the Qingling Fish for us."
"Anyway, their cultivation is not high, once they find them, we’ll seize them."
Standing on the Hidden Spirit Boat, Zhang Cangyun coldly laughed.
