The Yunpeng Market was as busy and full of activity as usual.

Lin Xun and Qing Yunyang shuttled through the bustling crowd.

They seemed to be moving slowly, but they were, in fact, dashing out of Yunpeng Island at an incredible speed.

Although those guys are arrogant, they are not stupid. Im worried that they will soon guess my identity. Are you afraid now?

As Lin Xun darted forward, he said to Qing Yunyang, If they know that you and I are connected the consequences might be bad.

Im not afraid. Qing Yunyang remained calm. Although our Azure Turtle Clan is declining, not everyone can bully us, not to mention that our Patriarch Qing Lie has returned. As long as he is around, anyone who wants to target us will have to go through him first.

He drew a deep breath, and his face bore a look of determination, I plan to go into closed-door cultivation once I return to my clan. Within ten years, I will become a true expert!

Qing Yunyang had changed. His state of mind was different from before, and his attitude had become more dedicated and unwavering.

True experts always strove for self-improvement.

With that mentality, Qing Yunyang would no doubt cut through the wind and waves on his own path.

Lin Xun couldnt help but nod. Its not too late for him to realize it now.

What about you? Are you not worried? Qing Yunyang suddenly asked.

The current Lin Xun was no doubt a character that everyone wanted to beat up in the Southern Sea. He would have to face unimaginable consequences if his identity was found out.

If all goes well, then I will leave today. Lin Xun smiled, as though he didnt care.

You can stay in the Azure Turtle Clan. I believe that you can at least avoid some trouble with the protection of our patriarch, suggested Qing Yunyang.

No need. Lin Xun shook his head.

As the two were conversing, they had already left Yunpeng Island and returned to the back of the huge azure turtle where the Azure Turtle Clan experts had gathered.

Toady, how did it go? Lin Xun immediately noticed Toady waiting when he arrived.

Toady had attended the treasure auction with Patriarch Qing Lie. They had already agreed to bid for the Grand Universe Ark and immediately return to the Ziyao Empire.

But Toady sighed with a frown. An accident happened.

What?

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. What happened?

Damn it, even speaking about it makes me want to kill! Toady flew into a rage, jumping up and down.

It turned out that Toady and Patriarch Qing Lie were determined to win the bid for the Grand Universe Ark so they placed a sky-high price to scare off the competitors. Other influential figures dared not to compete with them, but who would have thought that another bidder suddenly entered the race just as the hammer was about to fall? The bid was doubled that of Toady and Patriarch Qing Lie.

With their plans messed up, it was no wonder that Toady was so furious.

Brother Qing Lie and I were so angry that we planned to use violence to snatch the Grand Universe Ark back. Toady was very clearly stirred up. Who would have thought that person already ran away before the treasure auction ended? Theyre more cunning than a fox!

Lin Xun was speechless for a while. The story is full of twists and turns.

Wheres Brother Qing Lie? asked Lin Xun.

He was summoned by a group of big shots to discuss something, Toady answered apathetically, but then his expression dramatically changed. He slapped his forehead. I almost forgot something important!

Whats the matter? Lin Xun scrunched his brows.

Its about you, Toady stated solemnly, face overcast with worry. Although the treasure auction is very grand and has attracted many important people from various clans, do you know what its real purpose is?

Before Lin Xun could answer, he stated out loud, Its to deal with you!

Lin Xun palpitated. To deal with me?

Yes, I don't know which old monster did it, but they managed to infer that you havent left the Southern Sea area yet, so the big shots of every clan have gathered here after hearing the news. They hoped to unite and set up an inescapable net to capture you!

Lin Xuns black eyes glowed as he fell silent.

Believe it or not, almost everyone in the Southern Sea knows that you have made the greatest harvest in the Deva Secret Realm and that it is related to the inheritance of the true Saint Path. Do you think those Life Death Stage Kings will watch you leave and do nothing? Toady started to panic when he saw Lin Xun continue to stay so quiet.

I never imagined that Life Death Stage Kings would join forces to deal with me, a Heaven Ascension cultivator. They think so highly of me. Lin Xun sighed, putting his hands behind his back.

He wasnt surprised that Luo Ya and the leading figures of the younger generation had gathered together to discuss how to deal with him. He also didnt take it seriously.

But it was different now. A group of powerful old monsters coveted the treasures on him and planned to join forces to stop him from leaving the Southern Sea alive!

Under such circumstances, its inevitable for anyone to feel grave.

Worst of all, someone had seized the Grand Universe Ark before him!

Do I really have no other choice but to directly cross the Spirit Burial Sea? Lin Xun contemplated.

There were thousands of miles between his location and the Forbidden City. Moreover, the journey would no doubt be full of unpredictable natural disasters and dangers.

He only had a slim chance of surviving even with the guidance of a Life Death Stage King.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan had traveled through the Spirit Burial Sea before, but it was also only because of Elder Gao Yang that they managed to safely arrive outside Return Dominion.

However, Lin Xun now only had Toady. Given their combined strength, it would be no different from throwing away their lives if they were to cross the Spirit Burial Sea.

I blame that bastard who robbed us of the Grand Universe Ark! Dont let me know who did it or else I will have to kill them! Toady hissed through gritted teeth.

Who do you have to kill? A clear and pleasant voice rang like a wind chime.

Following the sweet noise, a graceful and ethereal figure drifted towards them from the distance. Her clothes billowed around her, accentuating her elegant figure, and her black hair fluttered in the sea breeze. She was like a fairy from a painting.

Its that demon girl!

Lin Xun and Toady immediately recognized that the beautiful person was Ahu.

She was dressed in a light yellow dress that rippled the blue sea. Her skin was smooth and fair, and her eyes were huge and shining. She was a pure and otherworldly beauty.

Its her!

Qing Yunyangs expression slightly changed, turning into a complex look of hatred, bitterness and sadness.

Only then did Lin Xun recall that Wu Yang had mentioned then that it was Ahu who had stolen the Azure Turtle Clans treasure, the Thousand Opportunity Flag, so they had to hunt her down.

However, Lin Xun didnt expect to see Ahu appear here, the territory occupied by the Azure Turtle Clan!

This girl is really brave.

Lin Xun glanced at Qing Yunyang, but unexpectedly found that he had calmed down already and did not act out violently.

However, the nearby Azure Turtle Clan experts were seething and shrouded in murderous intent. All their eyes were locked on Ahu.

Perhaps, with a wave of a hand from Qing Yunyang, they would launch into action without any hesitation!

However, Qing Yunyang didnt do so. Instead, he let out a light sigh, motioned his hand and said, Dont move, let her come over.

All Azure Turtle Clan experts frowned in puzzlement.

Young Master Qingyang, we meet again.

Ahu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes gleaming and sparkling. She drifted towards them like an ethereal fairy, drawing everyones attention.

What are you doing here? You already took the Thousand Opportunity Flag! Is that not enough for you? Do you also want to harm our Azure Turtle Clan?! Qing Yunyang asked.

Ahu scrunched her delicate brows and then gave a sweet smile. I wanted to leave, but there is one more thing I have to do first.

What?

With a slight smile, Ahu swept a glance over Toady. Hey, didnt you say you wanted to kill me just now?

Toady was taken aback at first before it dawned on him. You were the one who took our Grand Universe Ark! he fumed.

Ahu giggled, What do you mean by yours? I won it in a bidding war, so it belongs to me.

Miss Ahu, you didnt come here just for us, did you? Lin Xun suddenly spoke as he surveyed the mysterious maiden.

Qing Yunyang focused his eyes on Lin Xun. She...came here for Lin Xun?

Sure enough, Ahu snapped her fingers, and her eyes curved into crescent moon-like shapes as she smiled. She was like a beautiful and charming little fox. Youre smart! You guessed it right. Amazing.

Miss, although I dont know what motive you have, I dont have time right now. Why dont we be straightforward with each other? Lin Xun also smiled.

That would be a waste of time. Just follow me. We can have a good talk along the way.

Ahus smile became brighter and brighter. Her skin was crystal clear, her teeth were pearly white, and her slim and graceful body was bathed in a dreamy glow under the sun. Her beauty was unrivaled.

Follow you? Do you think we will be so stupid to follow you just because youre pretty? Toady said disdainfully.

Ahus beautiful smile immediately faded. I have the Grand Universe Ark in my hands, and you are about to face a grave disaster. Do you have another option other than to follow me? she asked in a serious tone.

Lin Xun and Toady narrowed their eyes, realizing something strange. The mysterious girl called Ahu seemed to know their situation very well!

Who was she?

Ahu pursed her lips. If you wont leave, then Im going now.

ThenMiss, thank you in advance! Lin Xun quickly agreed without another thought.

Damn it, youre not bewitched by her, are you? What if she is an enemy? Toady yelled.

Are you afraid? asked Lin Xun.

Nonsense, how would I be afraid of a little girl?

Then what is there to be afraid of if we leave with her? Lin Xun questioned again.

Toady finally realized that Lin Xun wasnt joking. Instead, the youth was serious!

Qing Yunyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly urged, Guys, if you trust me, I would suggest you leave with her.

Lin Xun and Toady looked stunned at Qing Yunyang, never expecting him to speak for Ahu.

Even Ahu seemed a little surprised as she took a deep look at Qing Yunyang and smiled. Young Master Yunyang, I was right about you.

I dont care if you are right or wrong. I just hope that you will never appear in front of me again in my life! Qing Yunyangs face was devoid of emotion.

Ahu smiled again and didnt say anything else.

In the end, Lin Xun and Toady drifted away with Ahu.

Before leaving, Lin Xun handed a bag to Qing Yunyang. Destroy the things inside after youve read them. I hope it can help you.
