Xuanzhenzi peeked around the corner, a blade of dry grass he had somehow found dangling from his mouth, his misty eyes widening as he looked David up and down, his gaze filled with surprise and curiosity.
“My heavens, only a few days have passed, and you’ve already reached the sixth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm? Have you experienced any extraordinary adventures?”
“I trained for ten thousand years to reach the ninth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm, and your speed is faster than flying! What exactly are you doing in Deep Blue City?” Xuanzhenzi asked.
David briefly recounted his experiences over the past few days—the power of the aquatic creatures in the Abyss of the Underworld and the Dark Blue City in the Void Sea.
The suffering of the aquatic creatures, the unification of the Sea Soul Pearl, the purification of the three polluted sea areas, and the three-step agreement with Shui Wuhen.
His tone was straightforward and matter-of-fact, but both Jiang Xuelan and Xuanzhenzi held their breaths.
“Sea Soul Pearl?”
Xuanzhenzi smacked his lips, withered grass swaying at the corners of his mouth. “I’ve seen that thing in ancient books. It’s said to be the lifeblood of the aquatic race, only formed once every ten thousand years. They actually let you swallow it?”
“Shui Wuhen said that it was originally the power left by the ancestors of the Water Clan. It is no coincidence that that power appeared in my body.”
David put down his teacup, a thoughtful look flashing through his purple eyes. “After all, the Sea Spirit Pearl chose me, not Shui Wuhen.”
Jiang Xuelan was silent for a moment, then said: “You said you would save the water girl?”
“Um.”
David nodded, his voice calm and firm, without any hesitation, “He has been transferred by Shen Tianhai to the underground prison of the island lord’s residence.”
The water prison was specially designed to imprison water cultivators. The water contained boundaries that imprisoned spiritual energy; because every day he stayed inside, his meridians would become more eroded.
Jiang Xuelan’s brows furrowed sharply.
He stepped closer to David, his cold blue eyes sparkling with concern and seriousness, his voice urgent: “Shen Tianhai is at the peak of the second rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and there are three other second rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm elders on the island. It is too dangerous for you to go alone.”
“I can win.”
David’s voice remained calm, but his purple eyes radiated a confidence and calm that Jiang Xuelan had never seen before. “I fought against Shui Wuhen in Deep Blue City. He couldn’t touch me within three moves.”
Shui Wuhen was a peak level two Great Luo Golden Immortal, on par with Shen Tianhai. I was even able to withstand his full attack without getting hurt; Shen Tianhai cannot stop me.”
Jiang Xuelan stared at him for a long time.
He could feel the calm and steady aura radiating from David, which was completely different from when he left.
It was a kind of tranquility like the deep sea, calm on the surface but harboring deep undercurrents that could stir heaven and earth.
He slowly loosened his fist: “I will go with you.”
“Wait for me at the inn.”
David stood up, a soft glimmer of light radiating from his purple eyes. “Your presence will only disturb me. Shen Tianhai’s three elders were all at the second level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If a battle breaks out, I won’t be able to guard you.”
Jiang Xuelan bit her lip and finally nodded: “Promise me you will come back safely.”
“I promise you,” David said.
Without further delay, he turned around and jumped out of the window, his figure like a gray beam of light, landing soundlessly on the roof across the alley.
Then, after a few jumps, he crossed dozens of streets and alleys, heading to the island lord’s mansion that was brightly lit in the center of Bibo Island.
The night wind rustled in his ears, and the roof tiles beneath his feet gleamed coldly in the moonlight. He moved faster and faster, like a soundless arrow streaking through the night.
When he stood in front of the island lord’s mansion, it was already late at night.
Moonlight shone on the bluestone steps in front of the mansion’s gate, making the two bright red wooden doors appear as if they were coated with a thin layer of silver powder.
The gold-plated plaque above the doorway gleamed with cold light under the moonlight, while golden flames burned in the stone lanterns on both sides, illuminating the open space in front of the door.
Two guards stood at the gate, wearing golden armor with long swords hanging from their waists, their cultivation level was at the ninth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Seeing David, they simultaneously unsheathed their magic weapons from their waists, a flash of cold golden light flashed under the moonlight: “Who’s there? Breaking into the island ruler’s house in the middle of the night”
