King of Creation
Chapter 953: Chapter 939: Black Dragon Banner
Just as Captain Hee said, using the Scattering Demon Smoke to disperse these hundreds of thousands of Black-Winged Crows takes more than three thousand miles!
Captain Hee, leading a group of passengers, fled in a panic for over five thousand miles before finally escaping the pursuit of those Black-Winged Crows. Ye Zhen was relatively fine, having the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten as a means of transport.
The other few rulers at the Second and Third Stage of the Establishment Realm, to keep up with Elder Captain Hee, a Sixth Stage powerhouse’s flying speed, exerted themselves to the utmost, looking utterly disheveled.
On the way, to get rid of the Giant Sea Urchin Beast relentlessly chasing them on the sea surface below, Captain Hee had to take the risk of leading this group to fly above the clouds for nearly a hundred breaths of time.
After shaking off the Giant Sea Urchin Beast, Captain Hee fled from the clouds at rabbit-like speed and lowered the altitude.
In his own words, the sky is full of deadly presences, and he would rather stay at sea than fly high above, as there are just too many unexpected events.
The group flew with all their strength for an hour before they finally completely escaped from the pursuit of the Black-Winged Crows. Except Ye Zhen and the highly cultivated Captain Hee, everyone else was gasping for breath in the sky, with expressions of relief after the calamity!
"Alright, we’re finally safe. Let me check, and then we return to the ship!" Captain Hee breathed a sigh of relief, and his vast Divine Sense spread out in all directions.
At the same time, the cargo guard also carefully observed the seawater.
But just at this moment, the expression on Ye Zhen’s face changed once again.
Initially, during the desperate escape, Ye Zhen hadn’t noticed; now that the situation had slightly calmed down, he was astounded to find the lingering sense of danger in his heart had intensified greatly.
It was even several times stronger than when they encountered the Giant Sea Urchin Beast and the Black-Winged Crows.
More concerning for Ye Zhen was that this sense of danger was rapidly escalating, making him very uneasy, as if something significant was about to occur.
However, looking around, there were no abnormalities in all directions, and the sea surface was quite tranquil.
Where was the danger coming from?
For a moment, the inexplicable sense of crisis made the hairs on the back of Ye Zhen’s neck stand on end.
"The sky is safe!"
"The surrounding sea area is safe, we can enter the water!"
With a light shout from Captain Hee, the Wantong’s Sea-Crossing Shuttle, previously stored away, suddenly flew out from the cargo guard’s storage ring and landed heavily on the sea.
"Everyone, quickly enter the cabin; only when the ship is moving will we be safe!" Elder Captain Hee urged.
The twelve passengers each descended onto the Wantong in order. Surprisingly, this time, no one scrambled for seats; everyone sat back in their original places as before.
Ye Zhen first let the kitten shrink in size and then put the kitten back in his arms, resulting in him almost being the last one to board.
When Ye Zhen entered, he saw the bearded man standing in front of Ye Zhen’s seat, seemingly pondering something.
Seeing Ye Zhen come in, his body trembled slightly, but he chose to give up on the idea of claiming the seat, returning to his own place.
Ye Zhen’s previously displayed power when dealing with him and the demon servant just revealed with strength reaching mid-grade Spirit Tier made this bearded man extremely wary.
Still, wisely choosing not to cause trouble in the end.
"Everyone sit tight; I’m about to set sail! By the way, kid, bringing a demon servant on board means you’ll have to pay extra freight. That’s the rule of our Wantong!" Captain Hee said.
At this point, Ye Zhen didn’t mind, suppressing the unease in his heart, "How much more should I pay, just let me know, as long as we safely reach Wantong Island!"
Having said just one word, Captain Hee’s voice suddenly halted, as if somewhat dazed.
Not only that, but all passengers noticed that the Wantong, which had just started to accelerate, suddenly stopped altogether.
At this very instant, the sense of crisis in Ye Zhen’s heart surged by another measure.
"Could there be danger again?"
In his anxiety, Ye Zhen looked towards the observation window and then saw a rather eerie scene.
Suspended three meters above the Wantong was a sharp-featured middle-aged martial artist.
This middle-aged martial artist was wearing white martial attire with embroidered edges, and the embroidery was exquisitely done, featuring lifelike small gold dragons embroidered with gold thread.
The white dragon-embroidered robe martial artist was holding high a Black Dragon Banner with a dark red background, glowing with Spirit Light, with a face full of menace, yet his entire body was almost devoid of any Spiritual Power fluctuations.
Yet just by standing there, the Wantong was brought to a halt above the sea, not daring to make the slightest move.
"Captain Hee, what’s wrong? Why aren’t we moving?"
As everyone repeatedly asked, Elder Captain Hee, who was communicating with that white dragon-embroidered robe martial artist outside, finally came back to his senses, his face filled with frustration.
"Whew, scared this old man to death, it’s nothing, it’s a White Dragon Envoy; disembark, everyone disembark, the White Dragon Envoy is capturing a suspect, the entire ship will be searched!" Elder Captain Hee said exasperatedly.
Hearing the words ’White Dragon Envoy’, the faces of those martial artists who knew the inside story changed, while those like Ye Zhen, who were at sea for the first time, were completely baffled.
"Which family’s envoy is this White Dragon Envoy, that he can search us just because he says so?"
"Yeah, we just escaped death by a hair’s breadth, and now he wants us to get off the ship at his bidding?"
When the several Establishment Kings started clamoring, they were usually accustomed to dominance on land, so they naturally felt displeased. Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed to the extreme.
He couldn’t understand what this lingering sense of crisis around him was all about!
However, he truly understood the prestige of the White Dragon Envoy.
Without saying anything else, just based on the White Dragon Envoy’s Fifth Stage Establishment cultivation, to make Captain Hee at the Sixth Stage Establishment obediently get off the ship, showed the uniqueness of this White Dragon Envoy.
"Hey, everyone, it’s fine if you’ve never heard of the White Dragon Envoy, but you must have heard of the Nine Domain Dragon King, right? And if not the Nine Domain Dragon King, then surely you’ve heard of the Dragon Alliance?"
"The Dragon Alliance?"
Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone’s faces, Elder Captain Hee mockingly slapped his own forehead, "I forgot you all come from the land, well, the Dragon Alliance is like the Stars Tower that exists within the Nine Great Domains on land.
It is an extremely powerful organization, and compared to the Dragon Alliance, the Stars Tower’s strength is not even worth mentioning.
Let me put it this way, wherever the Dragon Alliance’s Command Banner goes, not just our Wantong Island, but even the renowned Heavenly Wing Island and Tiger Demon Island’s Island Master must give it some face.
Moreover, the Dragon Alliance is the overlord of the Outer Domain Dead Sea, and the Black Dragon Banner of the Dragon Alliance is the life-saving hope for those of us who travel the sea. Wherever this banner goes, who would dare defy it?"
"Come on, obediently follow this old man off the ship!" Captain Hee said with a smile as he shuffled leisurely out.
A Fourth Stage Establishment King became anxious, "Captain Hee, we just escaped death; if we delay again and encounter the same danger, what then?
We may have escaped once, but there’s no guarantee we can escape a second time!"
Hearing this, Captain Hee pointed outside with a laugh, "Do you know what’s out there? The Black Dragon Banner. The fame of the Black Dragon Banner is not something made up by martial artists, but earned through real prowess.
Wherever the Black Dragon Banner is present, beasts avoid it; as long as the Black Dragon Banner is there, how could there be any danger?
Come on, follow me outside; unless there’s someone among you whom the Dragon Alliance wants to pursue, not only can we leave immediately, but we can even have the Black Dragon Banner escort us for a journey. Such a good thing is usually nowhere to be found, yet now it falls upon me this time!"
The words ’Black Dragon Banner’ made Ye Zhen’s heart throb intensely.
Ye Zhen knew of the presence of the Dragon Alliance in the Outer Domain Dead Sea.
In Jian Qianxiong’s record concerning the people and customs of the Outer Domain Dead Sea, the first force one must not offend is the Dragon Alliance, and that was something from eighty years ago.
This shows the might of the Dragon Alliance; however, the issue about the Black Dragon Banner, Ye Zhen was hearing for the first time.
For some reason, upon hearing the words ’Black Dragon Banner’, Ye Zhen felt an inexplicable strangeness.
As urged by Captain Hee, the twelve passengers filed out and once again flew into the air above the sea.
The first glance upon exiting the cabin, Ye Zhen saw that extremely eye-catching and billowing three-colored Black Dragon Banner.
At the moment his gaze landed there, Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Martial Meridians within him gently quivered, and an indescribable excitement suddenly surged from within the Black Dragon Martial Meridians.
Stimulated by this, the strange rhythm of the Black Dragon Martial Meridians abruptly doubled, and what was more concerning, along with that feeling of excitement, the Black Dragon Martial Meridians clearly conveyed a sense to Ye Zhen.
Devour that Black Dragon Banner.
This conveyed feeling took Ye Zhen by surprise.
Could this Black Dragon Banner be connected to the Black Dragon Martial Meridians within him?
More surprising to Ye Zhen was, when he saw that Black Dragon Banner, he could clearly sense that the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten curled up in his arms also shuddered, and its whole body of black hair stood on end.
The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten originally had pure white fur, but after sharing a bit of the Black Dragon Spirit Light within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, its bloodline mutated, growing streaks of black hair.
Now, due to the appearance of this Black Dragon Banner, there were also unusual signs, and these consecutive unusual signs forced Ye Zhen to feel suspicion in his heart.
Especially with all kinds of sensing changes, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but think of an extremely shocking possibility!
Could the crisis flickering in his heart be because of the Black Dragon Banner?
"I am the Shipmaster of the Wantong, paying respects to the White Dragon Envoy. These are the twelve passengers on the Wantong this time, there should be no fierce individuals that the envoy wishes to capture. Please, envoy, inspect!" Captain Hee’s demeanor was quite respectful.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Shipmaster Hee. The order from the Dragon Alliance is routine, and I ask for your understanding! If nothing arises later, I will personally escort you on a journey!"
Captain Hee repeatedly said he dared not, then invited the White Dragon Envoy into the Wantong, while the Black Dragon Banner remained hovering there, exuding an inexplicable pressure.
The White Dragon Envoy only glanced inside the Wantong and then returned to the sea, his eagle-like gaze began to slowly scan across the twelve passengers! (To be continued.
