Chapter 34: Sea Demons Attack
Prison Dragon Island?
Hearing this name, Chen Xuan subconsciously glanced at County Princess Ji, then shook his head. These were truly a group of young people who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Of course. The Ascension Bureau has officially registered it. The reason ships sink year-round in these waters is that flood dragon causing trouble." Senior Brother Li said nonchalantly.
He didn't take the flood dragon seriously at all.
Zhao Youqian gave Chen Xuan a look. This kid didn't seem very impressive.
"But what if the flood dragon causes trouble while we're on our way? Wouldn't we be in danger?" A red-clothed young woman asked with concern.
"Xixi, don't worry. Senior Brother Li is a disciple of the Great Luo Holy Sect, and his grandfather is an elder there. He definitely has ways to deal with a mere flood dragon."
County Princess Ji said with admiration.
Hearing the flattery, Senior Brother Li's mouth slightly curved upward, revealing a proud arc:
"Everyone rest assured. Before I came, I obtained two treasures from my grandfather. They can not only ensure we safely cross this sea area but also capture that flood dragon."
"Brother Chen, this guy is here to steal our business!"
Zhao Youqian said with disdain.
"Then let's give him the first move. Having someone help us test that flood dragon's strength isn't just perfect?" Chen Xuan smiled slyly.
"You really are as steady as ever." Zhao Youqian said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Li, can you show us those two treasures?" Xixi asked, slightly straightening her posture to display her impressive assets.
After Senior Brother Li surveyed the view, two words flashed through his mind—impressive!
"You can only look, not touch."
"Okay, okay! Senior Brother Li, you're the best!"
Xixi jumped up excitedly, looking as if she wanted to jump into Senior Brother Li's arms. County Princess Ji frowned watching from the side.
This little slut. She considered her a good friend and brought her along to see the world, but she didn't expect her to try seducing Senior Brother Li. Fortunately, Senior Brother Li wasn't that kind of person.
Naturally, Senior Brother Li didn't know what these two young beauties were thinking. However, the admiration shown on the young women's faces was something he had never experienced within the sect.
He took out a water-blue bead from his storage ring and showed it off. "This bead is called the Sea-Calming Bead. It's a top-grade Spiritual artifact. I begged my grandfather for a long time to obtain it for suppressing the flood dragon.
As long as this Sea-Calming Bead is cast into the sea, it can calm the waves within a radius of dozens of li. With it, we can safely reach Prison Dragon Island."
"Wow!"
Xixi opened her mouth wide in surprise. "This tiny bead is actually a top-grade Spiritual artifact? My family only has one, and it belongs to my grandfather—we can't even see it normally."
Senior Brother Li was very satisfied with Xixi's performance. He immediately put away the Sea-Calming Bead and took out a golden rope:
"This is the Dragon-Imprisoning Rope, also a top-grade Spiritual artifact. It can trap flood dragons below the Fish-Dragon Realm. With it in hand, trapping that flood dragon for several hours is no problem. Then we can freely harvest the spiritual herbs on the island.
Except for Dragon Saliva Fruit and Dragon Saliva Grass, all other spiritual herbs will be yours."
"Senior Brother Li, you're so good!"
Xixi said excitedly. She had originally come out just to see the world beyond the capital, but unexpectedly there were additional gains.
"Brother Zhao, is that Dragon-Imprisoning Rope really that effective?"
Chen Xuan asked subconsciously as Senior Brother Li boasted about how powerful his Spiritual artifacts were.
Zhao Youqian looked with disdain. "Bah, it's just a replica. The real Dragon-Imprisoning Rope is a magic treasure that can indeed trap flood dragons. If you like it, I can get you one."
"Pointless. My sword is more reliable." Chen Xuan said calmly.
The two conversing naturally attracted County Princess Ji's attention. She was already annoyed by her best friend and deliberately raised her voice:
"Senior Brother Li, we must be careful after landing on the island. Don't let others take advantage for free."
Senior Brother Li naturally knew what County Princess Ji was referring to, but from the beginning, he hadn't taken Zhao Youqian's group seriously.
Even though Leng Li had the same Heavenly Origin Realm cultivation as him, he was the grandson of a Great Luo Holy Sect elder. His Spiritual artifacts and cultivation techniques were not something mere cultivators from the Jin Kingdom could compare to.
If it came to a fight, he was confident he could easily handle Leng Li. As for the remaining two, they weren't even worth his effort.
"Junior Sister Ji, rest assured. No one can take advantage of me, Li Yue."
Zhao Youqian immediately laughed out loud. "Haha, Brother Chen, look at this kid—actually putting on airs."
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, this is the first time I've met someone who puts on more airs than you. But you putting on airs is genuinely impressive—he's just an idiot."
Li Yue didn't expect these two—a Dao Foundation cultivator and a mortal—to dare mock him like this. He said coldly, "It seems I need to teach you a lesson so you know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"Tsk~ tsk!"
Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled. "The one who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth is you."
Bang!
Just then, a crashing sound suddenly came from below. Although it didn't move the ship in the slightest, the sound gave people an uneasy feeling, because it wasn't the sound of waves hitting the ship or hitting a reef.
Bang bang bang!
The crashing sounds became more and more frequent. The two sides, who had been confronting each other, subconsciously walked to the ship's railing and looked toward the sea.
Chen Xuan just glanced and felt a bit excited, because what was hitting the ship was actually a group of strange fish with legs.
"Does this count as sea folk?"
Zhao Youqian shook his head. "No, these aren't sea folk—they're sea demons. It seems the reason ships sink in this area is because of sea demon overpopulation!"
Hearing this, a look of awkwardness appeared on Li Yue's face, but it quickly vanished. "Just mere sea demons. Watch me suppress them!"
Saying this, he took out a talisman from his storage ring and shouted, "Pardon!"
A dazzling red light descended from the sky into the sea.
Boom...
Accompanying a loud sound, the crashing instantly stopped.
County Princess Ji quickly praised, "Senior Brother Li is indeed powerful. One move dealt with these sea demons."
Before Li Yue could show off, he heard Chen Xuan say calmly, "Don't celebrate too early. Look up."
After angrily glaring at Chen Xuan, Xixi raised her head and saw the sky was filled with dense sea demons falling toward the deck.
Fortunately, at this moment, the ship's formation suddenly activated, and a light curtain blocked all the sea demons outside.
These sea demons seemed to have very low intelligence, only using their heads to constantly ram the light curtain, seemingly trying to smash it through brute force.
In the bridge, Leng Li saw this scene and said calmly, "Wang Jian, just sail the ship. I'll go help my senior brother."
"Don't worry, my sailing is steady. I definitely won't let the immortals' postures become unbalanced." Wang Jian said with a smile, completely ignoring the sea demons on the light curtain.
When Leng Li arrived, he also brought an Ascension Bureau cultivator. The latter, upon seeing Chen Xuan, immediately cupped his hands. "Immortal Chen, there are too many sea demons. If this continues, the spirit stones powering the defensive formation will be depleted before we even reach Prison Dragon Island."
Chen Xuan looked at those sea demons, his eyes revealing excitement. "Then open the formation. Let's deal with them right here on the ship."
"Yes!"
The Ascension Bureau cultivator was about to leave with his orders when County Princess Ji stopped him.
