Chapter 526: Mutuo (II)
Li Yuanjiao nodded thoughtfully, and his once terrifying impression of Pristine Water True Monarch faded significantly. The invincible aura surrounding him seemed to diminish, and he remarked quietly, "The Eastern Sea is truly a different world."
As they flew, Kong Tingyun reminded them, "There are a few powers in the Eastern Sea that you cannot provoke, and I am sure you are aware of them, but I will still mention them again."
After ascertaining that Li Yuanjiao was listening intently, Kong Tingyun began, "The first is the Dragon Clan... In the four seas, the Eastern Sea's Dragon Clan is the most powerful, a top-tier force. The Dragon species are also fiercely protective of their own. As long as it is a True Dragon, you must not offend even a single one."
Everyone nodded in understanding as Kong Tingyun continued, "Next are the various demonic entities—sometimes called Immortals, sometimes Ghost Officials—or even strange, unnatural beings formed from combinations of metallic essences, fate, and ill omens."
She shook her head and added, "There is not much you can do when you encounter one. Even Purple Mansion Realm cultivators avoid some of them, while others might only make you sneeze."
"In the mainland, there are emissaries of death who monitor these things so you rarely see them, but overseas, it is a different story. The Eastern Sea is vast and boundless, hiding countless unknowns…"
She paused before continuing, "As for the other factions, there has never been a day without bloodshed. In the end, it is all for their interests."
Kong Tingyun waited for a moment before leading them to the water. After calculating the time, she said softly, "The Eastern Sea is too vast. Just flying would take us forever. It is better to rely on the water veins, which not only save us mana but are also much faster."
Li Qinghong glanced around and noticed several others nearby, warily watching each other as they waited. Kong Tingyun whispered, "In just a few breaths, the water veins of the sea will surge. When the water rushes in, we will use the Water Command Technique to ride the current to the Scarlet Pristine Sea, where my family's marketplace is located."
