Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221 - 1206: Warship of Great Zhou?

According to the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, even if it’s an act, Ye Zhen must perform as if it’s real.

Ye Zhen agrees with this, because everything is tied to the most important aspect of his identity.

Having entanglement with the Demon Race is not something Ye Zhen fears. From the information he obtained after performing a Soul Search on Pei Wei, it’s inevitable for any martial artist, especially those with strong cultivation, to interact with the Demon Race.

In reality, on the Primordial Continent, the Demon Race is omnipresent. Many mounts in existence are from the Demon Race, though they are controlled.

What worries Ye Zhen is his origins.

Once someone discovers that Ye Zhen comes from an unknown continent, one can imagine his fate. Those crazed for military achievements on the Primordial Continent would stop at nothing to deal with Ye Zhen and find this unknown continent.

Therefore, Ye Zhen has to perform this scene with Princess Jie You.

Once the plan was set in motion, Ye Zhen was very committed and proposed his strategy.

When Princess Jie You invited Ye Zhen for a meal, Ye Zhen brought along a slender Water Demon. After enjoying a sumptuous feast, the Water Demon totally fell into a deep sleep.

Subsequently, Ye Zhen skillfully disguised Princess Jie You as that Water Demon, and then boldly took the disguised Princess Jie You out of their confinement.

With the talisman summoning said to be from the Xiansheng Water Lord, Ye Zhen traversed unobstructed, taking Princess Jie You boldly out of the Water Mansion.

The process was effortless, but the performance was truly heart-pounding.

Next was the great escape, according to Ye Zhen and Princess Jie You’s estimation, the earliest anyone in Xiansheng Water Mansion would notice anything amiss would be a day later, or even longer.

Princess Jie You herself has the cultivation of the Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm, and according to her, if she hadn’t been abducted, she would’ve established her mansion already.

In this situation, Ye Zhen taking Princess Jie You on the run isn’t too strenuous.

The first couple of days were relatively easy, encountering several groups of Water Demons in the sea but still within the Xiansheng Water Mansion’s domain. Using the Xiansheng Water Lord’s talisman, they passed with ease.

After handling a few more groups of Water Demons this way, Princess Jie You spoke up, "Since we’ve escaped, why not leave the sea directly and fly through the sky? Wouldn’t that be faster?"

"Do you think it’s more conspicuous to fly high in the sky over the sea, or is it more conspicuous moving among countless creatures of the Water Clan in the sea?"

"Moreover, my speed in the water is not necessarily slower than flying!" Ye Zhen replied.

"Then let’s go with your idea!" Since the escape began, Princess Jie You has shown great compliance.

Nodding, Ye Zhen encircled Princess Jie You’s slender waist, sharing the deep-sea pressure with her while swiftly skimming through the seabed.

Princess Jie You’s gaze fell upon the hand encircling her waist, containing a trace of indescribable revulsion.

That sense of revulsion is like a noble seeing a commoner, or the high-born viewing the low-born, a disdain that comes from within the bones.

As they approached closer to the Primordial Continent, Princess Jie You’s revulsion grew stronger.

"Watch out, there seem to be Water Demons ahead....." Princess Jie You suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Zhen’s eyes coldly glanced, and his figure darted through like a swift fish, waves parting as he, taking Princess Jie You, shot towards another direction.

Suddenly, the whistling sound under the sea intensified, and voices with varied accents rang out. A Water Demon, with a peculiar conch shout and full cheeks, blew with all its might.

In an instant, the seawater raged from all sides, as hundreds to thousands of Water Demons converged from every direction.

The scene was frightening, but Ye Zhen and Princess Jie You were not afraid. As the myriad demons converged, Ye Zhen chuckled and once again, like before, presented the Xiansheng Water Lord’s talisman edict.

The blue-robed Water Demon who had completely transformed into a human shape and exuded terrifying Dao Entrance Realm aura, examined the talisman edict Ye Zhen handed over, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Xiansheng Water Lord’s talisman edict? Hahaha, what a treasure! I’ve heard that something happened at Xiansheng Water Mansion. We’ve been at a loss on whom to look to gather intel...."

Amidst laughter, the Xiansheng Water Lord’s talisman edict turned into powder, and then the blue-robed Water Demon raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, we’ve uncovered a Xiansheng Water Mansion spy, capture them, and there’ll be a heavy reward from the king!"

With the shout, the blue-robed Water Demon created towering waves and led the charge towards Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen and Princess Jie You’s faces turned incredibly grim, Ye Zhen’s expression particularly so, especially as more than four Dao Entrance Realm auras arose from all directions.

Amongst the thousands of Water Demons converging, over half were exuding the Establishment Realm aura.

In the face of so many Water Demons, if Ye Zhen weren’t careful, they would devour him entirely.

Without hesitation, Ye Zhen, with the terrified and screaming Princess Jie You, shot straight up to the sea surface. In the midst of their frantic telecommunication through divine sense, an undercurrent was quickly guided over and explosively struck beneath Ye Zhen’s feet.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen, clutching the screaming Princess Jie You, shot skyward like a cannonball.

Including that blue-robed Water Demon, a total of five Dao Entrance Realm Grand Demons lunged in vain.

As they burst out of the sea, Ye Zhen’s Sky Eagle Wind-breaking Wings unfurled behind him, and in one flap, they appeared miles away.

"Damn! A Soul Artifact, this guy has a mid-grade soul device. He must be an important figure under the Xiansheng Water Lord; we can’t let him go, absolutely cannot!"

The Blue-Robed Water Demon shouted defiantly, leading four other Grand Demons of the Dao Entrance Realm swiftly up into the sky, chasing after Ye Zhen.

The thousands of Water Demons under their command simultaneously emerged on the sea’s surface. Those with the ability to fly into the sky and keep up with them quickly rushed up, closely following the five Grand Demons of the Dao Entrance Realm in pursuit of Ye Zhen.

The remaining Water Demons swam swiftly in the water, frantically chasing Ye Zhen in the direction he was flying.

In an instant, a fantastic scene was formed between the sky and the sea surface.

The flying speed of the Water Clan in the sky simply could not match their diving speed underwater.

Although the Blue-Robed Water Demon exuded an aura reaching the Mid-stage of the Dao Entrance Realm, Ye Zhen barely managed to maintain some distance with the Sky Eagle Wind-breaking Wings.

However, as the Blue-Robed Water Demon pursued desperately, the distance quickly shortened.

Once entangled, it would be troublesome.

Ye Zhen frowned at this; if he was alone, as long as he dove into the sea, he would have ways to escape, but he was with Princess Jie Youu.

"Haha, you scoundrel, you won’t escape! Honestly speak out about the Xiansheng Water Mansion’s circumstances, and we might consider sparing your lives!" the Blue-Robed Water Demon arrogantly shouted.

Princess Jie Youu, extremely terrified upon hearing this, believed it, "Really? If we tell you, will you really let us go...."

"Are you stupid! If we fall into their hands, how could they possibly let us leave? A Soul Search, that would be the mildest!" Ye Zhen shouted at Princess Jie Youu.

"Haha, there’s a little beauty here! Don’t worry, our king loves little beauties the most and won’t kill you!"

"You better decide quickly; once I capture you alive, you’ll have no say in the matter, wahaha..." The Blue-Robed Water Demon laughed maniacally as Princess Jie Youu’s expression turned frightfully pale.

Suddenly, Princess Jie Youu sensed Ye Zhen’s speed slow down sharply.

The realization made Princess Jie Youu exclaim, "You, why have you slowed down, are you insane...."

"Shut up, you fool!" Ye Zhen was so furious at Princess Jie Youu that stars appeared before his eyes, and he unhesitatingly dislocated her jaw.

"Haha, little beauty, there’s nothing else to say, this kid can’t run anymore, and you’ll soon fall into my hands! Don’t worry, after I’ve had my fun, I’ll surely offer you to the king....."

Just as Princess Jie Youu’s expression turned utterly terrified, a searing firelight suddenly shot out from Ye Zhen’s palm, blasting onto the Blue-Robed Water Demon who was closing in, and exploded with a roar!

The green Spirit Blaze erupted fiercely like a dazzling little sun, accompanied by the Blue-Robed Water Demon’s screams of agony.

One could see the Blue-Robed Water Demon struggling violently, enveloped in a ball of green flame.

At the same moment, Ye Zhen’s Sky Eagle Wind-breaking Wings fluttered, his speed abruptly increasing, instantly widening the distance from the Blue-Robed Water Demon, temporarily escaping the threat of the Blue-Robed Water Demon.

However, mid-air and in the sea, the groups of demons still pursued relentlessly!

Moreover, as the commotion grew bigger, more and more Sea Demons gathered below.

Suddenly, Princess Jie Youu, held by Ye Zhen, began to struggle violently, and as she did, her Divine Soul Telecommunication echoed in Ye Zhen’s mind.

"You bastard, put my jaw back in place quickly!"

"Hurry, immediately, if you don’t, you’ll regret it! Bastard, I know our only chance to escape!" Princess Jie Youu shouted angrily.

Initially, Ye Zhen had no intention of paying attention to Princess Jie Youu, but the last sentence made his heart move, and he casually repositioned her jaw.

"Quick, southeast direction, do you see that black dot flickering with golden light, fly there, quickly fly there, once there, we’ll survive!" Princess Jie Youu pointed the direction and screamed.

"What’s there?" Ye Zhen asked, showing no sign of moving.

"A warship!"

"A warship of Great Zhou! Damn it, hurry!" Princess Jie Youu urged.

The words ’warship’ made Ye Zhen’s flight direction suddenly shift, swiftly heading towards the sparkling golden spot thousands of miles away.

Hundreds of breaths later, a massive ship over 500 meters long appeared in Ye Zhen’s line of sight, with a large black and gold flag hanging from its mast.

A golden ’Zhou’ character, extremely complex and seemingly comprised of birds, fish, insects, and flowers, appeared at the center of the flag, emanating the golden light.

With just a glance, Ye Zhen gasped.

Not because of its size, but because this giant ship’s speed on the sea was actually not slower than his own.

With a focused look, Ye Zhen turned his gaze to Princess Jie Youu, "Is that a warship?"

"Not a warship, but a merchant ship! Yet, even a merchant ship can save us!"

"Moreover, honestly, I prefer merchant ships!" As she spoke, Princess Jie Youu began to tidy up her appearance, pulling out a few pieces of lavish headgear to put on, along with a crimson cloak, instantly making her demeanor appear incomparably noble.

Noble air swept forth!
