Chapter 290 - 287: Accident
The next day, Ye Xuan hired a sea vessel and set out to cross the Storm Sea.
Granny Ning had left after making her move the night before. Even at the speed of Evil Wind Cave Heaven, it would take some time to send a more powerful expert to kill him.
Before that happened, Ye Xuan had already set off, and it was no longer so easy for the other party to track his whereabouts.
In the Demon Clan Territory, the land was vast, and although there were fewer major powers than in the Human Clan Territory, there were still two Fifth Grade forces, undoubtedly the behemoths of this vast maritime region. They were Sky Demon Mountain and Sea God Palace respectively.
The difference between the two Fifth Grade Demon Clan forces was that the members of Sky Demon Mountain were mostly terrestrial Demon Beasts, while the members of Sea God Palace were mostly Sea Demons.
In this vast Demon Clan Territory, whether it was competition or survival, it was much more brutal and bloody than in the Human Clan Territory. The Demon Beasts’ method of cultivation was often barbaric, advancing through devouring each other’s inner cores and bloodlines—such acts were commonplace.
For the Demon Clan, the more outstanding the bloodline, the greater the achievements one would attain in the future. By devouring the bloodline of a high-class Demon Beast, even a lowly Demon Clan member could transform and ascend to the ranks of the high-rank Demon Clan. Even within the same species, the strength of the bloodline varied, as even kin could not be completely trusted.
The cruel law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, was vividly demonstrated here.
The Storm Sea, true to its name, was known for its intense and unpredictable storms, as well as other dangers that had led countless ships to sink beneath its waters, and many powerful individuals to perish without a trace. Even the safest trade route could not guarantee absolute safety; it only significantly reduced the risks.
The Storm Sea was indeed boundless, and even with a swift ship, it took a full ten days of travel before Ye Xuan heard the seasoned sailors say they had only covered half the distance.
There was still a considerable distance to the Demon Clan Territory.
