Elder Nalan never thought that Sima You Yue would open her mouth in front of the entire crowd. In circumstances such as this, could she say no? Well, definitely not! But the Nalan family would be made into the joke of the continent.
“Since Alliance Head says so, we will follow Alliance Head on this journey.”
“Elder, you….” Nalan Jie looked at Sima You Yue angrily. She definitely had an evil ulterior motive for asking Elder Nalan to go with her. How could he agree so easily?
“Alliance Head, I will go with Elder.” He volunteered.
“You?” Sima You Yue looked at him blandly, saying, “Forget it, your powers are too weak, if you came you would just be chasing to catch up with us.” Nalan Jie felt so attacked by what she said that he could not say anything. At the same time, there was also no way for him to defend himself. Just a little over last year, everyone was chasing together, yet at the blink of an eye, she had gone so far ahead that she was looking at them from a higher position.
“I’ll come along too.” Sima You Lin said.
“Alright.” Sima You Yue nodded in agreement and turned to the crowd, saying, “The situation is urgent, I will go with them from the dawn to check out the situation. We will leave the circumstances here to you all.”
“Don’t worry, Alliance Head, we will discuss it properly.” Sima Tai said. Sima You Yue understood Sima Tai’s words – it seems like it would be impossible for the Nalan family to leave now.
“Elder Nalan, the time is ticking. Let’s go.” She nagged. Elder Nalan got up reluctantly. He thought that she could give Sima You Yue an excuse to not go, not knowing that she had wanted to leave immediately. How would she give an excuse now? But Sima You Yue was well aware of Elder Nalan’s schemes, so she requested to leave immediately. She took out the mother stone and connected with Wei Zi Qi to agree on a place to meet, and then took the reluctant Elder Nalan with her and left. When they reached the city gates, Wei Zi Qi and the rest were already there. When they saw Elder Nalan, a few of them were curious. Why would she bring this cold old woman with her?
“Who’s that, You Yue?” Fatty Qu asked.
“This is an elder of the Nalan family, and she will come with us to the Ocean Boundary.” Sima You Yue said. “Let’s prepare to head to the sea.”
“Wait a minute.” Elder Nalan protested. She looked at Wei Zi Qi and the rest unkindly, saying, “You are coming too?”
“Yeah.”
“I don’t agree.” Elder Nalan said flatly. “Their powers are too weak, if they go they will only drag us down.” She had only agree to go with Sima You Yue so that she would have an opportunity to destroy him. Since the sea is a dangerous place, they might not be able to protect him all the time. But once there were that many people, not only would it foil her plans, but it would also put her in danger!
Sima You Yue laughed coldly, saying, “I’m afraid your opinions don’t matter here. Don’t forget, I am the Alliance Head! Could it be, that once we are out of the sight of the others, you plan to defy my orders?”
“Alliance Head?” Fatty Qu looked at him, not knowing what had happened after they had parted. The Spirit Lords who were clearing the corpses of the ocean beasts looked over as well, extremely curious. Elder Nalan glared at those people, and the powerful aura of a pinnacle Spirit Paragon made those people shudder, and they looked down slowly. She turned to look at Sima You Yue, saying, “Since Alliance Head insists, if anything happens, the blame is not on me.”
“I won’t need to.” Sima You Yue could not be bothered with her, and got Little Roc out to bring them out to sea. Only after they left, did the Spirit Lords around them begin to look up, sighing as they looked at their backs turned. As Little Roc flew, he let his fearsome aura emit from him, so that the lower ranked ocean beasts dared now to show themselves, and they were able to fly safely for the night. However, this was just the start. When they had gone deeper into the Ocean Boundary, Little Roc had to tone it down, because this region had a lot of Sacred Beasts, if he had continued to emit his aura they might mistake it as a challenge, and it might attract more of them. If this was like the past, then Sima You Yue would not have minded, because these ocean beasts could only stay in the water and could not do them much harm. However, now they could even fly, and this was very dangerous.
“There is a dark cloud!” Bei Gong Tang pointed at the sky on the left, saying. The sky was clear and cloudless, so this dark cloud was definitely eye-catching.
“Let’s take a look.” Sima You Yue commanded Little Roc. They approached the dark cloud very quickly, and as they circulated it, they could not tell if this dark cloud was any different from a normal one.
“Should we go into the cloud to take a look?” Fatty Qu suggested.
“Alright.” Sima You Yue had thought similarly.
“Wait.” Yun Yi, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke up.
“What’s wrong, Yun Yi?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Try attacking this cloud first.” Yun Yi said. Sima You Yue did not understand, but she went along with what he said, and directed her aura towards the cloud.
Pu—– Chiii—–
Her attack, when launched into the clouds, did not cause the clouds to disperse. In fact, the seemed like it had been swallowed by the cloud, and even made a weird sound. That sound was rather sharp, and it caused all their hairs to stand on end.
“The hell, what kind of dark cloud is this? It’s so weird.” Fatty Qu exclaimed.
“So strange.” Ouyang Fei was also surprised.
“Let’s see it again.” Sima You Lin said.
“Alright.” Sima You Yue got Little Roc to go a bit further from the cloud, and launched a more powerful attack
Chiiii—–
That cloud made an even sharper sound, so bad that it made their ears hurt.
“No!” Halcyon exclaimed quietly, swooping down quickly and covering all of them. It was only as they were covered did the sound stop, but Little Roc and a few of them had fallen and were crashing towards the waters. Sima You Lin quickly summoned out his flying beasts to catch them all, in case any of them fell into the water.
A few of them landed on its back, their bodies weak and their heads pounding. After some time, Sima You Yue managed to get up. And seeing how the bulk of them had become weak, she fed them pills. These pills contained spirit fluid, and were especially effective at healing spiritual injuries. That sharp noise seemed to have only affect their hearing, but it had actually pierced their spirits, causing them to feel a large amount of pain. After they took the pills, they started to feel better, although they still had some lingering fear because of what they had just experienced.
“What in the world is that?” Elder Nalan was the oldest, and so her injuries were the worst. Although she had taken Sima You Yue’s pills, she was still weak.
Sima You Yue also could not understand. Wasn’t that just a dark cloud? How could it launch such an attack?
She looked at Yun Yi, who seemed to have grasped the situation and asked, “Yun Yi, do you know what that was?”
