Chapter 90.2 The Righteous Faction’s Exemplar (2/2)

“Fine. I can’t really understand your situation! But I hope you weren’t demonized. Don’t even consume a single human!” She Qingqing warned him with a frown.

Wang Ke shook his head and said, “Consume my *ss! Would I still dare to return to the Heavenly Wolf Sect if I did consume a human? Wouldn’t I be fearing that my Revered Teacher could chop me up if he found out? Now, do what you need to do. Isn’t Zhu Hongyi going to capture Tong An’an and his accomplices? You guys have a lot to do as well. Let’s stop here!”

She Qingqing also shook her head and said, “Zhu Hongyi is capturing all those related to Tong An’an on the island. He captured almost all of them, except Tong An’an himself, who ran away!”

“Tong An’an escaped? Let him be then; it’s beyond me. I’m running late; see you!” Wang Ke said as he ran away with the princess in his arms.

She Qingqing watched as Wang Ke and the princess boarded a Miasmic Sea Ship.

The ship swayed as it sailed away from the Divine Dragon Island.

It was then that Zhu Hongyi descended from the sky and landed next to She Qingqing.

“This brat left just like that? He hasn’t explained himself for deceiving me at the Zhu Cultivation Town!” Zhu Hongyi stared toward the direction of Wang Ke’s departure.

She Qingqing in turn gazed at Zhu Hongyi coldly.

The latter immediately backed down, “Okay, okay. I won’t ask him. He saved you from the Demon Sovereign this time. This is a huge favor; I won’t be as calculative, and I won’t ask a thing!”

“Humph!” She Qingqing harrumphed coldly before making her way toward the island’s center.

“Qing’er, wait for me! I’m just worried that he might bully you; that’s why I followed you. I didn’t eavesdrop on your conversation. Ahh, why wouldn’t I trust you? Qing’er, wait for me!” Zhu Hongyi chased after her.

—————

Two Miasmic Sea Ships left one after the other.

Wang Ke laid Princess Youyue on the deck before focusing on the beads.

“Krakkkrak!”

The string of eighteen beads was sealing the flames inside his body. But right then, three of the beads already had crack lines. Princess Youyue claimed that the bracelet could seal his flames for half a month, but it might not take that long.

Quick, quick! I need to return to the Heavenly Wolf Sect quickly. Qingqing stored a massive amount of virtue merit in the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror when she slew the demons at the Great Qing Royal Palace. She decreed that those were reserved for me! Quick, I need to return to my sect. I need the virtue merit to save my life. Help! Wang Ke sailed the ship anxiously.

Some time later, the ship sailed further into the Miasmic Sea. Wang Ke could faintly hear explosions coming from the sky above.

“Booom, booom, booooom~~~~~~~~~~~~!”

They were loud like thunder. Wang Ke’s face twitched as he heard the thundering sounds.

The Miasmic Sea is really dangerous. I guess those are shockwaves from a battle? That’s so terrifying! Quick, I need to get out of here! Wang Ke sailed the ship as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, the explosions were indeed booming in the sky above the Miasmic Sea.

Four men were hovering high above; two of them seemed to be having a duel.

One wore white while the other was clad in black. Chen Tianyuan and the Demon Sovereign were standing opposed to each other. A powerful Qi-wind swept outwards from the two of them as telltale of them having just fought an intense battle.

On a black cloud behind the Demon Sovereign—the Sacred Child shivered in fear as he watched the two fight.

Behind Chen Tianyuan stood a handsome young man. A cinnabar dot was painted between his eyebrows, making him look rather bewitching. The young man showed no fear at the sight of such a terrifying battle; he actually seemed engrossed in it.

The handsome man frowned while the two men were still; he looked down through the dense fog.

“Chen Tianyuan? I think I found her!” the handsome man said with bewitching laughter.

The next moment, he disappeared into the miasmic fog.

On the Miasmic Sea—

Wang Ke channeled energy into the massive ship and sailed ahead. His eyes were full of affection as he looked at Princess Youyue lying next to him. Those few months spent with Princess Youyue had been full of ups and downs, but they were finally getting together. The princess had also agreed to be his girlfriend.

“It’s a real challenge to escape the Divine Dragon Island!” Wang Ke said to the princess with a bitter smile.

Right after Wang Ke spoke, someone jumped out.

“Wang Ke, you are such a bully!” That person chided Wang Ke the moment he appeared.

Wang Ke’s jaw dropped. Where did this person come from?He took me off guard!How did someone appear all of a sudden?Wasn’t this vessel empty?

“Tong An’an?” Wang Ke cried out in shock.

Tong An’an dashed up to where Princess Youyue was and pressed his sword against her neck.

“What are you doing?” Wang Ke said with rising anger.

“Don’t come over. I will kill her if you do!” said Tong An’an, with tears of anger and grief.

Wang Ke: “……………………..!”

You are at the upper Golden Core Stage! And I’m only an Innate Stage cultivator! Why are you so afraid of me?

“Wang Ke, you are too much! It took me so much effort to find a ship to escape, yet you had to pick this one! You must have done it on purpose!” Tong An’an snapped at Wang Ke.

“Calm down, Tong An’an! Calm down! Put the sword down. Let’s talk it over, shall we?” Wang Ke pleaded anxiously.

“Talk it over my *ss! Wang Ke, you wanted to sail the ship deep into the Miasmic Sea so that you could interrogate me alone, right?” Tong An’an shouted angrily.

“I did not! How could I know you were on this ship?” Wang Ke replied.

“Bullsh*t!” Tong An’an shouted back, “You just said it! ‘It’s a real challenge to escape the Divine Dragon Island!’ I heard it. You were mocking me! Right? You already knew I was here. I was still hiding inside the cabin. But actually, you already knew that, didn’t you!”

“I really didn’t!” Wang Ke continued to plead anxiously, “Put your sword down, okay? If not, why don’t you take me hostage? Don’t point your sword at my girlfriend!”

But Tong An’an felt he was being humiliated, so he shouted back, “Are you still trying to fool me? You’re still at it?”

“No I am not!” Wang Ke replied in frustration.

“You, an Astral Infant Stage cultivator, are asking me to take you hostage? You would capture me once I put my sword down!” Tong An’an said in great agitation.

“Which of your eyes see that I’m an Astral Infant?” Wang Ke asked, feeling annoyed.

“You said it yourself! You are at the Astral Infant Stage. And you’re the Demon Sovereign’s undercover trump card!” Tong An’an replied fiercely.

“I thought you didn’t buy it! Weren’t the Southern Gambling Saint and his gang sent by you? You didn’t believe I was an Astral Infant cultivator… That is why you sent them to kill me, right? You forgot that?” Wang Ke asked.

Zhu Yan then replied full of rage, “Zhu Yan lied to me!”

“Ah?”

“Zhu Yan said you were only at the Innate Stage, that you used a protective artifact to make me believe you were an Astral Infant. Bullsh*t! Everything he said was bullsh*t! I knew you weren’t lying to me the moment the Demon Sovereign appeared! Zhu Yan is the liar! You were telling the truth. But Zhu Yan kept lying to me and pulled me into deep sh*t!” Tong An’an said, full of hatred.

Wang Ke: “…………………..!”

“Tong An’an, you need to calm down. Listen to me, the Demon Sovereign appeared by coincidence! It was the Sacred Child who asked him to come. I’m also just an Innate Stage cultivator, not an Astral Infant! Let Princess Youyue go and we can talk things out. Let’s not make things difficult for each other… How about that?” Wang Ke patiently tried to persuade Tong An’an.

But the man rebutted with tears in his eyes, “Do you think I’d believe in you? I would have said the same thing if I were you! Wang Ke, you are an Astral Infant Stage cultivator. Please let a small fry like me off, okay?”

Wang Ke: “……………………….!”

Am I shooting my own foot?Who’s the one not letting the other person off now?

“You really are mistaken! I’m telling you the truth!” Wang Ke said as he stepped forward anxiously.

“Don’t come any closer! I’m not mistaken! I don’t believe anything you’ve said; I only believe what you told me the other day. You are an Astral Infant cultivator. You are the Demon Sovereign’s trump-card undercover!” Tong An’an said in horror.

Wang Ke: “………………………..!”

Why is it that you believe all my bluffs!But now that I’m telling the truth, you don’t believe me!Why!You are the most powerful person on this ship. Why are you so terrified of me, the weakest person?Why?
