It was not until the evening of the sixteenth day that he finally understood why the Beast-Seeking Stone in his hand had been continuously glowing, because they had already arrived at the outskirts of the Zhedu Sea Area.

…

“Their speed… isn’t it a bit too fast?”

Zi Mo was shocked as she gazed at the expansive array of islands before her, which constituted the Zhedu Sea Area—an immensely vast expanse of sea.

But now was not the time to marvel at the Zhedu Sea Area. She swallowed hard and turned to Brother Zheen, “Brother, how could we possibly have arrived at the Zhedu Sea Area so quickly? Wasn’t it said to take at least over a month?”

And sometimes, it would take two months to get there.

So why had they reached the Zhedu Sea Area in less than twenty days? This made no sense at all.

“I would also like to know why,” Brother Zheen said, his tone nonchalant, but inside he was far from calm.

Despite his claims of ignorance, he was world-wise; how could he truly know nothing?

He had previously studied the routes to the Zhedu Sea Area, and arriving in less than twenty days could only mean one thing—they had traveled in a straight line!

Back on the deck, he had vaguely overheard them discussing navigation options, even mentioning traveling in a straight line. He thought Qian Jiyun and the others were just talking and wouldn’t actually do it.

After all, it was such a dangerous endeavor that everyone knew about, yet the people on this ship had deliberately gone straight to the Zhedu Sea Area.

He couldn’t help but sweat for Qian Jiyun and his companions, considering how bold they were to undertake such a risk.

Thankfully, they made the journey safely, without any incidents.

But he was very curious. Even if he had a Beast-Seeking Stone, he wouldn’t dare take such a route, because the stone only gave a rough indication of powerful demonic beasts nearby and was not accurate enough to avoid them entirely.

Yet Qian Jiyun and his group had precisely avoided them, not encountering a single Sea Demonic Beast.

If they had come across even one Sea Demonic Beast, they would not have arrived at the Zhedu Sea Area so smoothly. Perhaps Qian Jiyun and his companions were indeed very powerful and capable of defeating Sea Demonic Beasts, but their ship was fragile, at least to the Sea Demonic Beasts, which could easily bite through it.

Who exactly are these people, and how do they possess such abilities?

He couldn’t help but murmur to himself, feeling that he had underestimated Qian Jiyun, who had bought Sky Phoenix Grass from him back then. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have given him a favor and simply gifted him the Sky Phoenix Grass.

That way, he wouldn’t be in such a passive position as he was now.

Thinking about this matter again, he cursed Gu Qingyu inwardly for several times for it was her instigation that led him to sell the Sky Phoenix Grass at a high price.

Now, thinking about it truly gave him a headache.

“Junior Sister Qingyu, are you all right?” he asked, turning to Gu Qingyu, who had just been released, his tone rather unpleasant.

Gu Qingyu, at that moment, didn’t even have the strength to speak—not that she truly lacked the strength, but rather, she didn’t want to speak.

After hanging at the stern for so many days, not a single person had been willing to plead on her behalf. In her heart, she had already branded all these fellow disciples as ungrateful and treacherous.
