Chapter 915: A Joyous Occasion (I)
Just as Li Xijun and the others were deep in discussion, the jade seal on the stone table shimmered faintly. It was a sign that someone had arrived outside the cave dwelling.
Li Qinghong activated a spell, causing the Chongming Profound Insight Screen to return to its original form. She stored it within her sleeve, opened the stone door, and saw Bi Yuzhuang enter with a smile.
Glancing at the Li brothers, she said, "Your esteemed family truly is brimming with talent!"
Li Xijun thanked her respectfully. Bi Yuzhuang made a few casual inquiries but clearly hadn’t come just for small talk. Her expression turned serious as she lowered her voice and said, "The affairs of Hengzhu Dao Gate have been arranged. If you’re free, allow me to explain."
She pulled out a maritime map from her sleeve and spread it out. "As defenders of these sea islands, we’re meant to remain stationed at the main island and make our presence known. But although Wang Fu is powerful, he is outrageously indulgent and lustful. Rather than guarding the main hall on Qingzhou Island, he relocated and constructed a grand palace on Xifeng Island. Only a few close confidants come and go, making his whereabouts difficult to track.
"Fortunately, he’s quite attentive to the reefs near Qingzhou Island. Despite his debauchery, he never skips his inspections of the reefs. He frequently sails with his favored concubines, often unclothed, seeking pleasure across the sea..."
Clearly familiar with the man, Bi Yuzhuang said softly, "Our gate possesses a dharma artifact called Flow Water Conch, forged from the body of a demonic creature that failed to ascend to the Purple Mansion Realm. While it lacks offensive power, it can manipulate water currents."
What a treasure!
Li Qinghong was quietly envious. Manipulating water currents was entirely different from mere water control. With this treasure, one could reach frightening speeds along the seafloor, as if they were riding the current itself.
"This artifact leaves no trace of mana. We’ll first stir the water currents to draw him north. Then, we’ll stage a battle between a demon general and a rogue cultivator, feigning a chase over a Lesser Yang spirit item. He certainly won’t miss such an event and will pursue them."
