Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1347 - 575: Never Back Down
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
The jade chime at her waist jingled, swaying Li Yunjing’s collar.
Xu Xun looked at the chaotic scene and helplessly touched his nose, "Vice Sect Leader Li, perhaps..."
"Sigh..."
Li Yunjing sighed and said to Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, "You might as well come along!"
He then turned to Ji Zixuan and said, "You can go too, unless you get the consent of Senior Ji and Lady Ji! Otherwise, whatever you say won’t matter!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zixuan immediately let go of Li Yunjing and ran towards the "Bibo Immortals’" residence, leaving behind a clear string of jade chime sounds as her skirt fluttered.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, she returned pulling two cultivators with an ethereal demeanor, none other than the Bibo Immortals.
"Vice Sect Leader Li, my wife and I have discussed it."
Father Ji stroked his long beard, his eyes carrying a hint of amusement, "Though my daughter’s cultivation is still shallow, she grew up in the East Sea and is quite familiar with the underwater terrain; she might be of help."
Lady Ji smiled gently, her tone warm yet unyielding, "Moreover, with you and fellow Daoists looking after her, we can be more at ease."
"Uh..."
Li Yunjing was momentarily stunned; he thought that by setting this condition, Ji Zixuan would retreat. But unexpectedly, the Bibo Immortals really consented.
This left him a bit at a loss.
Li Yunjing was a thousand times unwilling to take Ji Zixuan along!
This little burden, and she couldn’t get hurt, let alone die.
Otherwise, things would definitely be difficult with the Bibo Immortals.
The trouble escalated!
Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing exchanged a glance, stifling their laughter.
Both seemed to have understood the Bibo Immortals’ intentions.
But this was normal!
The daughter of the Bibo Immortals, not just in the East Sea but on the entire "Celestial Wave Star," was a top-tier lady of noble birth.
To find a suitable match for such a woman, it seemed there was no one better than Li Yunjing?
Xu Xun shook his head helplessly, whispering, "Vice Sect Leader Li, it seems the team is about to expand."
"If that’s the case, then let’s go together."
Li Yunjing took a deep breath, sweeping his gaze over the crowd, "But let’s be clear, this journey is extremely perilous, and everyone must follow my commands."
He looked at Ji Zixuan, "Especially you, if you dare to act on your own, I’ll have you sent back immediately."
Ji Zixuan nodded excitedly, her eyes full of anticipation, "Don’t worry! I promise to behave!"
She turned and made a playful face at her parents, "Dad, Mom, when I return, I’ll definitely bring back some treasures from the seabed for you!"
"Hmm! Go with peace of mind!"
Ji Shuhan said with a smile.
At the same time, he secretly communicated to Li Yunjing, telling him he had sealed two Divine Techniques as a means of protection for Ji Zixuan, reassuring him not to worry too much.
With Ji Shuhan’s words, Li Yunjing felt much more at ease.
This time, setting out, Li Yunjing still deployed the "Celestial Patrol Ship," but the Treasure Ship of three hundred and thirty feet was shrunk to ten feet, and discreetly sailed on the sea surface.
The group embarked, half an hour later, far from "Shenxiao Island," as the full moon began to rise from the sea horizon, turning the waves into scales of silver.
"Look! That’s a group of Star Conches!"
Ji Zixuan leaned over the ship’s bow, the jade chime swaying gently in the sea breeze, suddenly pointing into the distance and excitedly shouting: "They are most beautiful when they glow!"
Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing helplessly looked at the little girl.
Ji Zixuan seemed like she was out for the first time, everything she saw was filled with curiosity, talking endlessly to others with enthusiasm.
The two dared not offend Ji Zixuan and could only humor the little girl as if coaxing a child.
As for Xu Xun, he personally helmed the "Celestial Patrol Ship," as only he knew the route.
Meanwhile, Li Yunjing held Turtle Shell, taking out the "Profound Celestial Compass," "Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant," preparing to divine the celestial secrets for the upcoming actions.
Xu Xun leaned over, whispering, "That deep palace, I only dare to glimpse outside. Inside, the restrictions..."
"No problem!"
Li Yunjing didn’t look at him, coldly saying: "I’ll handle all dangers! You just need to lead me to where the people from the ’Four Seas Commerce Association’ and ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ are staying."
"Alright!"
Seeing Li Yunjing focused on several treasures, Xu Xun nodded and refrained from disturbing Li Yunjing, calmly piloting the "Celestial Patrol Ship."
When the "Celestial Patrol Ship" completely left "Shenxiao Island," the Treasure Ship dove directly into the seabed, skimming the ocean floor.
Recently, "Shenxiao Island" had become the most watched site in the East Sea.
Li Yunjing didn’t need to search to know there were definitely spies lurking in the sea regions around "Shenxiao Island," including people from the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."
This mission was of great importance, and Li Yunjing naturally didn’t want his movements to be detected immediately upon leaving.
The seabed sands were plowed into two deep grooves by the "Celestial Patrol Ship," and Xu Xun manipulated the ship to deftly navigate through the coral reefs.
Suddenly, Li Yunjing opened his eyes, golden light flaring, the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant" vibrating violently.
Three hundred feet ahead, seven concealed spiritual senses spread out like a web; someone was hiding in the dark.
"Stop the ship."
Li Yunjing pinched a technique with his fingertips, the "Profound Celestial Compass" transformed into a stream of light, diving into the seabed.
The next moment, seven cultivators in blue robes emerged from the earth, their crossbow arrows glimmering with eerie blue poisonous light.
The leader was about to alert others but saw the "Profound Celestial Compass" shake, pinning him to the coral reef, turning him into a meat patty.
The crossbow arrow in his hand shot out instinctively, only for the arrow to fall under the compass’s pressure, hitting the ground with a "sizzle" of corrosion.
"Vice Sect Leader Li, these are outsiders from the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’..."
Before Xu Xun finished speaking, the "Celestial Profound Compass" continuously suppressed, and the remaining six also turned into blood mist under pressure, dying at the sea bottom.
