Sensing the powerful divine sense, it was from the White Jade Flying Chariot. Although I haven't seen the real face of the cultivator in the chariot yet.
Zhang Ling could still determine that the person was a late-stage Nascent Soul Grand cultivator. Could it really be the rumored Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King? He murmured in his heart.
Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King, the master of Tianshui(天水: Heavenly Water) Academy in Linhai(临海: Sea-facing) Prefecture, the easternmost part of Longze(龙泽) Kingdom. He is a prestigious existence in the entire Eastern Region cultivation world.
However, this fellow is not a human cultivator, but a spirit water Flood Dragon whose strength has reached the peak of the tenth rank. He is stationed in the Eastern Continent Islands all year round, deterring sea monsters.
A transformed demon cultivator serving as the master of the Huangji(皇极: Imperial Zenith) Academy is the only case in Longze(龙泽) Kingdom.
Because the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King was originally a clan-guarding spirit beast enshrined by the imperial Long family. It is said that this demon has lived for a long time, and his cultivation has long reached the peak of the tenth rank.
In a few breaths, the blue-armored cultivators flew over, escorting the White Jade Flying Chariot.
The two Flood Dragons pulling the chariot were both twenty or thirty zhang(丈: a unit of length, approx. meters) long, one was scarlet red, and the other was dark blue. Their auras were also at the peak of the seventh rank. Their majestic head-shaking and tail-wagging were enough to show the identity of the chariot's owner.
Before the chariot had landed, Tao Zhang stepped forward a few steps and said loudly, "Is it Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's arrival? Hanyue(寒月: Cold Moon) Academy's Tao Zhang greets Jiao(蛟: Flood Dragon) Sanye(三爷: Third Master). Three hundred years ago, Tao had the honor of seeing Sanye(三爷: Third Master) from afar in the Huangji(皇极: Imperial Zenith) Hall. It is truly Tao's honor to meet Sanye(三爷: Third Master) again today."
Tao Zhang cupped his fist and bowed respectfully. Although his tone was normal, Zhang Ling heard a hint of fear.
As for why Tao Zhang called the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King Sanye(三爷: Third Master), Zhang Ling had heard that when this demon first broke through to transform, the Long family gave him a name, Jiao(蛟: Flood Dragon) San(三: Three). Therefore, he had another name, Jiao(蛟: Flood Dragon) Sanye(三爷: Third Master).
The White Jade Flying Chariot was covered with a layer of flowing water waves. Zhang Ling could only vaguely see three figures sitting inside, unable to see their appearance at all.
With Tao Zhang's greeting, the layer of water waves on the chariot rippled silently, creating circles of water patterns.
The water patterns, like dense, dark blue water lines, churned for a moment, and the water surface facing Zhang Ling and the others separated to the left and right, as if the gauze curtains decorating an ordinary carriage had been lifted.
"You are from Hanyue(寒月: Cold Moon) Academy. No wonder, this king finds you somewhat familiar. Is the current master of Hanyue(寒月: Cold Moon) Academy that young fellow surnamed Li? That young fellow followed this king to drive out sea monsters overseas in his early years. It has been four or five hundred years since I last saw him," a lazy voice came from the chariot.
"Ah, Sanye(三爷: Third Master) is actually acquainted with my senior brother Li. Senior brother became the master three hundred years ago and is now cultivating hard in the academy. This place is not far from the academy. Tao will notify senior brother to come and meet you. I believe senior brother will be delighted."
"No need, this king has important matters to deal with here. Are the two elders of the Yeyue(夜月: Night Moon) Sect stationed here? Summon them, this king wants to ask them something on behalf of the family head."
Hearing this, Tao Zhang quickly responded, "So Sanye(三爷: Third Master) has important matters here, I will notify Fellow Daoist Fei and the other two to come." Saying that, he waved his hand and released two black lights, turning into two groups of sound transmission words, flying into the Black Fiend Peak.
Tao Zhang thought in his heart, the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's sudden arrival to inquire about the elders of the Yeyue(夜月: Night Moon) Sect, it seems that the imperial family must already know about the situation of the Yeyue(夜月: Night Moon) Sect.
I wonder if the old monster of the Yeyue(夜月: Night Moon) Sect has really succeeded in breaking through.
Inside the White Jade Flying Chariot, a man and two women were sitting on a wide soft couch. All were Nascent Soul cultivators.
The two female cultivators were in the early stage of Nascent Soul, with good figures and beautiful appearances. One was lying half in the man's arms, and the other was stretching out her slender jade fingers, holding a delicate gold and jade pot and a night-shining cup, pouring wine for the man.
Their gazes towards the man had a bit of infatuation.
The man looked a bit thin, wearing a large blue brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and also had a head of red, purple, and blue hair, with a sense of unkempt wildness.
But the aura faintly revealed on his body, no one dared to underestimate. Especially the man's pair of light blue eyes were extremely bewitching.
Moreover, at this moment, the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's gaze was always wandering over Zhang Ling's body. Seeming to want to investigate his details, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
The Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King gave him a very dangerous feeling. Zhang Ling had also seen several late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses. But from the induction point of view, this demon is the strongest of the great cultivators he has ever seen.
With a thought, Zhang Ling cupped his hands towards Tao Zhang. "Fellow Daoist Tao, the two of you have important matters to discuss. I won't disturb you, I'll say goodbye and leave."
"This fellow Daoist, this king sees that you also have a somewhat familiar aura. Have we met somewhere before? I wonder where you cultivated before."
As soon as Zhang Ling's words fell, the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's leisurely voice came into his ears. The voice was not loud, but entering his ears, it gave him a feeling of demonic sound piercing the ears.
Zhang Ling's heart sank, and a smile appeared on his face, and he responded in a calm tone. "Sanye(三爷: Third Master) must be mistaken. I have been cultivating in the Xiling(西岭: West Ridge) Hundred Kingdoms for a long time, and I have recently come to Longze(龙泽) Kingdom to travel. Today I have the honor to have this fate with Sanye(三爷: Third Master)."
"Is that so, then I wonder if fellow Daoist can answer this king a question." The Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's body flashed with blue light, flew out of the chariot, stood in the air and stared at Zhang Ling with great interest.
"What is the meaning of Jiao(蛟: Flood Dragon) Sanye(三爷: Third Master)?"
Zhang Ling frowned. Seeing this posture, the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King was unwilling to let him leave immediately.
He had never seen this demon before. Today was the first time he had seen him. There was no interaction at all, let alone offend him.
The Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King seemed to want to inquire about his details carefully, which was very unexpected to Zhang Ling.
It's no wonder this fellow has this kind of temper, likes to use his powerful cultivation to tease others. This seems unlikely.
Zhang Ling couldn't figure out what the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's purpose was in keeping him here.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Tao Zhang gave a dry laugh, "Sanye(三爷: Third Master), Fellow Daoist Zhang is just renting a baleful energy cave for cultivation. I can guarantee..."
The Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King ignored Tao Zhang's words at all, just smiled, and a a mass of golden light appeared in his hand. The light dispersed, and a golden scroll about a chi(尺: a unit of length, approx. meters) long was held in his hand.
Glancing at the scroll, Zhang Ling's heart skipped a beat. The scroll was very similar to the space treasure Dragon and Phoenix Diagram he had obtained from the Yan蹄兽(炎蹄兽: Flame Hoof Beast), in his hand.
The Yan蹄兽(炎蹄兽: Flame Hoof Beast) had separated from him a year ago. He did not let the Yan蹄兽(炎蹄兽: Flame Hoof Beast) take this treasure away, but had been carrying it with him.
The Dragon and Phoenix Diagram was engraved with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns. Although the scroll that the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King took out had not yet been opened, it was vaguely visible that it also seemed to be engraved with dragon patterns, and some of the runes displayed on it were almost exactly the same.
With a soft sound, the golden scroll in the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's hand opened, and the picture depicted a spectacle of a huge golden scale fish riding huge waves out of the sea, swallowing like a whale the sun, moon, and stars under the night sky.
Although it was not similar to the dragon and phoenix patterns on the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram.
But Zhang Ling already had a guess in his heart that this scroll must have a great relationship with the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram, and may even be refined by the same person.
Because he immediately sensed that there were traces of space fluctuations on the scroll, proving that it was also a space treasure.
Such similar two space treasures can never be a coincidence.
The Dragon and Phoenix Diagram originally came from the Long family, and this Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King is also the Long family's clan-guarding spirit beast. It makes even more sense to have such a similar treasure in his hand.
"Do you recognize this thing? This king sensed a trace of the golden scale dragon fish's soul power from you."
The Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's voice entered his ears again, his tone no longer lazy, but with a bit of baleful energy. As he spoke, this person pointed at the scroll.
The golden scale fish leaping out of the sea in the picture let out a dragon roar, as if it had come to life and flew out of the picture.
Immediately afterwards, a low dragon roar also came from Zhang Ling's left sleeve.
"Not good."
Zhang Ling's face stiffened, and without thinking, the yellow light on his body lit up, directly turning into a startled wild goose and soaring into the sky.
"You actually have the family treasure on you, no. The one in your hand... seems to be the Dragon Fish Diagram that Longxi(龙溪) stole." A trace of surprise also appeared on the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's face, and then a layer of baleful energy appeared on his face. He also turned into a escaping light and chased after him.
The two of them were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they flew out of the Black Fiend Peak, one yellow light, one blue light, disappearing into the horizon one after the other. The Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King's roar could still be heard from afar.
"You still want to leave in front of this king, courting death."
On the spot, only the team of blue-armored cultivators brought by the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King were left, each looking at each other. And Tao Zhang had an extremely bewildered expression.
At this time, three more escaping light landed not far from Tao Zhang, it was the other three people guarding this place, the linen-clothed old man rushed over.
These people were not low in cultivation, and they all sensed Zhang Ling and the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King who had just left. Looking up at the horizon, they all showed some strange expressions.
One of them asked, "Brother Tao, what happened? The cultivator in the blue light seems to be the Zhenhai(镇海: Suppressing the Sea) King."
Tao Zhang's expression was complicated, and he didn't know where to start.
