King of Creation
Chapter 954: Chapter 940: Riding Flood Dragon Guest
When the White Dragon Envoy’s piercing gaze swept over the twelve passengers one by one, he lingered on each person’s body for more than ten breaths, making some of them feel uneasy.
Even though Ye Zhen suspected that the sense of crisis plaguing his mind was related to the Black Dragon Banner, his will was extremely resilient. Even being unusual himself and watched by the White Dragon Envoy for ten breaths, he remained expressionless.
However, the unexpected still happened!
"What’s in your bosom?" Yua Yang, the White Dragon Envoy, raised an eyebrow and questioned Ye Zhen.
"Just a demon servant!"
Ye Zhen calmly patted his chest, revealing the half-furry head of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.
Having taken just one look, Yua Yang, the White Dragon Envoy, turned his head, signifying the inspection was complete. What was frustrating was that after nearly a hundred breaths had passed since the inspection, there was still no further indication.
Getting a bit impatient, Captain Hee asked with a smile, "Is the inspection complete, Envoy? If so, can I take these guests and leave?"
"No hurry, let’s wait a bit longer!" Yua Yang’s response was unexpected, leaving many passengers dissatisfied. On land, they were all influential figures commanding respect from all sides. The fact they endured the search here demonstrated their patience.
"Wait a bit longer, what does that mean? How much longer?" someone asked impatiently.
Captain Hee stopped the outraged Establishment King and asked with a smiling face, "These guests are coming to the sea for the first time, unaware of the maritime customs. Please don’t mind, Envoy. If there’s any offense, please forgive us!
However, you know we mariners can’t afford delays. Please, Envoy, grant us this favor!" With that, Elder Captain Hee handed over a storage ring!
Unexpectedly, just as the storage ring was handed over, it was stopped by the outstretched hand of the Envoy Yua!
"Captain Hee, please understand, I dare not disobey the orders from above! Besides, with the Black Dragon Banner present, do you think I dare indulge in such corrupt acts? Please, everyone, rest assured and wait here!" Yua Yang, the White Dragon Envoy, said.
Upon hearing this, Captain Hee became anxious. The inspection was over, they weren’t allowed to leave, and gifts weren’t accepted. Was this intentional harassment? Captain Hee’s face turned extremely unsightly!
"Envoy, what do you intend to do today? Please make it clear, don’t make things difficult for me. We’re all just trying to earn a living at sea..."
Almost at the same time, a brilliant light descended from the sky, and another White Dragon Envoy clad in white and gold dragon robes appeared above the sea, the Black Dragon Banner in his hand stark and conspicuous.
Nearly the moment this White Dragon Envoy appeared, Ye Zhen’s expression changed dramatically.
Because, at the moment the White Dragon Envoy holding the Black Dragon Banner appeared, the Black Dragon Martial Meridians within Ye Zhen trembled again, the pulsation frequency accelerating, and the indescribable crisis haunting his heart surged once more.
The feeling was like unrest growing in his heart, driving Ye Zhen with an impulse to leave this sea area as quickly as possible.
But at this moment, with the Dragon Alliance’s authority looming overhead and two White Dragon Envoys in front, if Ye Zhen forcibly left, it wouldn’t end well for him.
Instinctively, Ye Zhen felt that upon first entering the Outer Domain Dead Sea, it was unwise to provoke such a colossal entity as the Dragon Alliance!
"Brother Yua, you have good luck today. In this vast northern sea of the True Spirit Domain in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, among seventy-two Messenger Officers, only five or six might find a living person." The White Dragon Envoy Qian Tong said with a smile as he descended.
Almost simultaneously, upon hearing these unintentional words from the White Dragon Envoy, Ye Zhen’s heart stirred; the Dragon Alliance’s seventy-two Messenger Officers were all focused on this sea domain.
What is the Dragon Alliance planning, and who could provoke such a massive response?
Seeing Qian Lingshi’s arrival, Captain Hee was overjoyed and hurried to greet him, as it seemed that Qian Lingshi was an acquaintance of his.
"Qian Lingshi, look at us, a whole ship of people stuck here. The search and inspection have been done. What taboo has the Wantong crossed this time? Please enlighten us a bit!
Or perhaps we’ve offended Envoy Yua somehow. Please, Qian Lingshi, show some favor. We will certainly correct it!" Captain Hee’s attitude was very humble, almost begging.
This made the twelve passengers quite furious, but they dared not speak, for even the veteran sea master, Captain Hee, with cultivation up to the Sixth Stage Establishment King, behaved this way. If they jumped out to dispute, they’d be nothing but fools!
Before Captain Hee could finish, Yua Lingshi began to smile bitterly, "Brother Qian, I’ll leave the explanation to you!"
"Ah, Captain Hee, you misunderstand! When have we of the Dragon Alliance ever done such shameless things?" Qian Lingshi hurried forward to say.
"This time, it’s truly a significant matter. Look, there are two Black Dragon Banners present!" Qian Tong said.
"But, haven’t we been searched and inspected? Why aren’t we allowed to leave?" Captain Hee looked puzzled!
"Old Hee, let me tell you straight. Whether there’s a suspect, us Messenger Officers cannot determine. We have to wait for one or two Dragon Kings from different domains to arrive and personally check before we can confirm whether there is anyone we need to find. If not, you will be allowed to leave!" Qian Lingshi explained with a bitter smile.
"One or two Dragon Kings of various domains need to arrive to determine...."
Captain Hee was astonished, obviously shocked by this news. Each of the Dragon Alliance’s nine Dragon Kings was a paramount figure, and it is said that the one with the lowest cultivation was still a Ninth Stage Establishment.
They were on equal footing with the Island Masters of Wantong Island and other islands. No, just one Dragon King’s arrival meant their Island Master had to welcome them from dozens of miles away.
Yet now, for such a small inspection, they are requiring the labor of a Dragon King; this was of monumental significance.
Under such circumstances, Elder Captain Hee naturally understood the significance and stopped wasting words, casually asking, "Do you know how much longer we have to wait? If it takes more than a day, I should inform the island so they don’t think something unexpected happened to us!"
"No need! The other Nine Domain Dragon Kings have been on their way here for several days already. Just now, White Dragon Envoy Yu has made contact and said that the nearest Golden Rainbow Dragon King will arrive here in at most three hours!" Qian Lingshi replied.
"Three hours, that’s fine, we can wait, we can wait!" Saying this, Elder Captain Hee then informed the other passengers about this matter.
Hearing these words, Ye Zhen felt like a storm was raging in his mind.
Looking for someone!
The casual words of Qian Lingshi just now revealed that the Dragon Alliance was not really capturing criminals with such a huge commotion, but rather looking for a person!
Then, who are they looking for?
This is a question that piqued everyone’s extreme curiosity!
What kind of existence could make the Dragon Alliance not only dispatch seventy-two Messenger Officers but also mobilize all the Nine Domain Dragon Kings.
It must be known that the Nine Domain Dragon Kings of the Dragon Alliance usually oversee each major sea domain with important responsibilities and rarely leave without permission, yet this time, they have all been dispatched!
An extremely bad feeling slowly surfaced in Ye Zhen’s heart.
"Is this grand maneuver of the Dragon Alliance possibly searching for me?"
The next moment, such an almost absurd thought arose in Ye Zhen’s mind.
This idea was laughable at first glance. The Dragon Alliance’s Messenger Officers have a minimum Cultivation of Fifth Stage Establishment, and seventy-two of them were deployed.
And each of the Nine Domain Dragon Kings has reached the Ninth Stage Establishment, all nine were mobilized.
Such a lavish lineup could sweep across the True Spirit Domain without issue, how could it be searching for the insignificant Ye Zhen, a mere Martial Artist at the Peak of Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm?
But the problem is that the unusual resonance between the Black Dragon Martial Veins within Ye Zhen and the Black Dragon Banner, the reaction of the kitten, and the growing sense of danger, all made Ye Zhen unintentionally harbor this speculation!
And Ye Zhen couldn’t help but have this wild conjecture!
More surprising to Ye Zhen was that a quarter of an hour later, another White Dragon Envoy arrived, with a Cultivation of Sixth Stage Establishment, also holding a Black Dragon Banner exuding an inexplicable aura.
The arrival of yet another Black Dragon Banner made the rhythm of Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Martial Veins even more jubilant, with the unsealing speed increasing several times.
But the issue was that the crisis feeling lingering in Ye Zhen’s heart also intensified several times, like the feeling of eyebrows on fire!
What was even more dreadful was that within the following hour, the number of White Dragon Envoys gathering here increased, reaching as many as five!
As the warriors present were taken aback, Ye Zhen became incredibly anxious!
Ye Zhen realized that the moment had come where he must make a decision!
Because from the conversations between the White Dragon Envoys, it seemed that six suspicious signs were discovered in this sea domain, and the seventy-two Messenger Officers along with the nine Nine Domain Dragon Kings were heading to these six locations.
The Wantong here was indeed one of these locations!
Meanwhile, with the arrival of the five White Dragon Envoys, the crisis feeling in Ye Zhen’s heart had reached an extreme!
"Everyone, do not be anxious, rest assured, with the Black Dragon Banner here, there will be no danger!" Seeing that the warriors were becoming uneasy, Qian Lingshi reassured them.
Almost at the same time, the rhythmic Black Dragon Martial Veins inside Ye Zhen abruptly trembled, and an inexplicable sensation spread throughout Ye Zhen’s body in an instant, making him involuntarily look toward the east!
In that instant, Ye Zhen, whose mind was submerged in the Black Dragon Martial Veins, vaguely sensed that to the east, there seemed to be another Qi rapidly approaching.
That Qi was somewhat akin to the source of the Black Dragon Martial Veins, faintly detectable.
Almost at the moment of sensing this Qi, Ye Zhen’s heart uncontrollably pounded heavily once, a premonition far more intense than when Pei Wei, at half-step Dao Realm, struck him from behind last time suddenly emerged in Ye Zhen’s mind!
In that moment, Ye Zhen made his decision!
Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen began to move!
And just at that very moment, millions of miles away above the Outer Domain Dead Sea, a martial artist attired in a Black Dragon Robe, riding a Two-horned Silver Jiao like a streak of light, suddenly shivered, with an incredible brightness erupting from their eyes!
"He actually discovered my presence? How is this possible?" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
