"Don't worry, I've found them. They're some distance from the coast," Gu Mo confirmed, taking the spirit fruit and settling down beside Luo Yu. "Have you contacted Du Fan and the others?" "Yes, we've contacted them, and they're already on their way. Master is also coming!" Luo Yu grinned, a broad smile spreading across his face. "Du Fan said that Master's medicinal pills have been refined. As soon as she heard the news that we were coming to the East Sea, she brought them with her. They're only a few days behind us, but at their speed, they should arrive here early tomorrow morning." "That's great!" Hearing this, Gu Mo couldn't help but smile, a rare expression of relief on his usually stoic face. "But a few sea patrols just came by," Luo Yu mentioned, his expression turning thoughtful. "They said they were under the command of the Monarch Nancheng. I sent them away." He paused, pondering. "Does this East Sea Spirit Realm belong to Monarch Nancheng? I seem to recall that this place isn't included in his jurisdiction." "The four seas to the east, south, west, and north are not typically included in direct monarchical jurisdiction, but it's perfectly normal for there to be patrols," Gu Mo explained, his gaze fixed on the dark, distant sea. "After all, there are many treasures in the sea. If there were no patrols, the treasures at the bottom of the sea would be plundered sooner or later." "Let's get some rest tonight! Next, we'll wait for Master and the others to arrive," Luo Yu said, stretching his waist before heading into the cabin to rest. The next day, around noon, Feng Jiu and her entourage arrived. Luo Yu and Gu Mo had been waiting patiently at the seaside since early morning. When they spotted them, Luo Yu's face broke into a wide grin, and he quickly walked up to greet them. "Master!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine warmth. Feng Jiu smiled, nodding at him. She glanced around, her keen eyes taking everything in, and then asked, "Where's Gu Mo?" "Master, Gu Mo is waiting in the airship above the sea. I'll take you there right away," Luo Yu replied. With a respectful nod to Du Fan, Leng Hua, and Leng Shuang, he led the group towards the location of the airship. "Isn't that the Ghost Doctor? How did she get here?" someone among the gathered cultivators whispered, recognizing Feng Jiu's distinctive presence. "It is the Ghost Doctor. Could it be that there really is treasure in the sea? Is that why she came here?" another speculated, a hint of greed in his voice. "Who is the Ghost Doctor? What kind of treasure hasn't she seen before? In my opinion, this isn't a simple matter at all," a more discerning cultivator commented, understanding the gravity of Feng Jiu's appearance. "How about we follow them? They seem to be heading towards the center of the sea," someone optimistically suggested, contemplating the idea of tailing the powerful group. However, no one agreed with him. In fact, everyone else looked at him as if he were an idiot, and the brief surge of curiosity he had finally mustered quickly faded away under their scornful gazes. On the Airship On the other side, Feng Jiu and her companions followed Luo Yu to the airship. As soon as Gu Mo saw her, he stepped forward, bowing respectfully. "Master," he greeted. "Master, you must not have had much rest on your journey," Luo Yu said solicitously, inviting her onto the airship. "Please sit down for a moment! We'll tell you what we found." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 Seeing their consideration, Feng Jiu nodded, boarded the airship, and sat down. Once settled, she immediately cut to the chase. "You only mentioned on the communication jade that there was a powerful aura below that you couldn't get close to, but that the aura felt like the Green Dragon's? What exactly is going on?" "Master, we searched the seabed for a long time," Luo Yu began, explaining the discovery. "But when we reached a certain place, we couldn't go any further, and even our divine sense couldn't penetrate the barrier. However, the aura emanating from it was very similar to that of the Green Dragon. We were wondering if Hell's Lord might be at the bottom of the sea." Luo Yu glanced at her, seeking her guidance. "Master, shall I take you down there to have a look?" "Down from this current position of the airship?" Feng Jiu clarified, her gaze already fixed on the dark waters below. "Yes, it's directly below this location," Luo Yu and Gu Mo replied in unison, their voices resonating with a renewed sense of hope and anticipation.
