Layers of undulating clouds piled up into an endless sea of white clouds.
A huge black flying ship fluttered its tall cloud sails as it gracefully streaked across the sea of clouds, leaving a beautiful long white trail behind it.
The flying ship was divided into three levels. The top level was a viewing platform surrounded by fences. The protective array was like an invisible wall, blocking the cold and strong wind outside.
Sitting on the platform, one could enjoy the vast and boundless scenery. It was the most popular design on the Chang 'an warship.
Gao Zhengyang looked into the distance and saw a sea of clouds under the blue sky. The green and white colors contrasted with each other. The whiter the clouds were, the higher the sky was.
Beside him, Wei Anmei smiled and said, "Master, the view here is wide and comfortable. It can relieve the boredom of the journey …"
Wei Anmei's eyes were picturesque. She wore an exquisitely tailored light yellow floor-length dress that accentuated her graceful figure. She was elegant and graceful, and her speech was refined. She was beautiful but not seductive. It was easy to have a good impression of her.
The women around Gao Zhengyang were all stunning beauties, far better than Wei Anmei in terms of looks. However, Wei Anmei was like a roadside wildflower. She was not as precious or beautiful as other famous flowers, but she had a unique charm and was quite interesting.
Moreover, to be the captain of the Chang 'an warship, Wei Anmei's knowledge and ability were extraordinary. When there was nothing to do, Gao Zhengyang was willing to chat with her. After a few days, the relationship between the two became much closer.
"The design of this platform is quite good …"
Gao Zhengyang often traversed through the myriad worlds, and had seen all kinds of strange sights and wonders. There was nothing to say about the sky of the human world. However, it was quite thoughtful to build such a platform on the top level of the Chang 'an warship.
Although it would consume more power from the protective array, it could attract more customers. Moreover, there were eight ballistae hidden under the platform. If they encountered enemies, they could rise up and attack them on the platform.
Wei Anmei smiled in response, but she felt a little uncomfortable. The construction of the Chang 'an warship took a lot of effort, and it could be said to be a masterpiece. Gao Zhengyang's light praise was more like a perfunctory response.
However, he was an important guest introduced by His Highness Yue Qingyun. Although she did not know his identity, she did not dare to offend him.
"The Demon Race is invading. Is this route safe?" The reason why Gao Zhengyang called this flying ship was because he was not in a hurry. He also wanted to experience the recent changes in the human world.
There were some things that could only be experienced personally.
"The demons are all in the Eastern Barren Mountain Range. They won't be a problem for now. The Fire Nation, on the other hand, has discovered the Demon Race in many places, but there hasn't been much movement. "
Wei Anmei had been transporting goods between the Moon and Fire Countries all year round, so she was quite familiar with the situation of the two countries. In the beginning, she was also very worried about the Devil Race, but she had not encountered any danger, so she did not care so much about the Devil Race.
Gao Zhengyang nodded. From the information gathered from all sides, the Devil Race was really quiet. Of course, this was because the Yuan Qi passageway had just been opened. The elite demon army had yet to enter the human world on a large scale. The top experts of the Demon Race also did not intervene in the battle.
Although the laws of vitality in the human world were rapidly collapsing, they still greatly restricted the Devil Race from the outside world. This was especially true for the Saint-level powerhouses, who would be greatly restricted from entering the human world.
Yue Changkong was truly unlucky to be assassinated by a saint-ranked assassin. Also, he had always lived like a prince and was used to using schemes to deal with his enemies. His martial arts were too weak, and he lacked actual combat experience. If it was the emperors of other countries, they definitely wouldn't be as miserable as him.
However, the Nethershadow Dragon's secret art was extremely bizarre. According to what Zhang Jiuhe said, this assassin could conceal himself at any time, not even revealing his shadow. Even a ninth-rank expert would find it hard to sense his existence under normal circumstances.
Luckily, the laws of vitality greatly restricted this saint-ranked assassin. Yue Changkong was also the Royal Heavenly Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Master. His divine sword would automatically counterattack when he was heavily injured, and the assassin wouldn't have an easy time either. For now, the assassin should be able to rest for a while.
Gao Zhengyang felt that the assassin was a very troublesome person. It was best to kill this fellow as soon as possible. But the human world was vast. There was no way to search for a powerful assassin who could conceal himself at any time.
The only clue was that the Flying Immortal Sword Intent left behind by the Royal Heavenly Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Master in his body. Although Gao Zhengyang wasn't the Sword Master of the Royal Heavenly Six Paths Reincarnation Sword, he was extremely familiar with the Flying Immortal Sword Intent.
During the short period of cultivation in the Flying Immortal Hall, Gao Zhengyang used the Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations as his foundation and comprehended the Boundless Sword Art and the Flying Immortal Sword Art. His attainments in the Flying Immortal Sword Art was sufficient to surpass everyone in the Yue Clan. Even Yue Ziying was far inferior to him in terms of the Flying Immortal Sword Art.
As long as the assassin was within a relatively close distance, he would be able to sense the Flying Immortal Sword Intent in the assassin's body.
Naturally, even if he had the sword intent, wanting to find the saint-ranked assassin was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
This time around, Gao Zhengyang took the flying shuttle to the Fire Country. Although his itinerary was kept secret and outsiders had no way of knowing, it was hard to hide it from the devil sect. If the saint-ranked assassin received the news, he might take the initiative to send himself over.
After the invasion of the devil race, all the human race experts with important statuses had to strengthen their own protection. Especially when Yue Changkong was assassinated, it caused alarm bells to ring for everyone.
Be it the emperors of the various countries or the sect leaders of the various sects, they were all protected by layers of formations. Concealment wasn't omnipotent. The strength of the devil race was also heavily restricted in the human world. At the current stage, there weren't many targets that a saint-ranked assassin could act against.
Killing a few ordinary ninth-ranked experts wouldn't be as sensational as killing him.
It wasn't that Gao Zhengyang was narcissistic. Although he was still ranked third on the Heaven Rankings, his reputation was flourishing, far surpassing that of Lu Jiuyuan. The majority of people saw him as the number one under the heavens.
Even though he hadn't appeared in public for two years, his reputation was still growing. More importantly, he was alone. Compared to those experts who had a huge entourage, it was much more convenient for him to act.
If the devil race could assassinate him, their name would instantly shake the world, and their reputation would rise. It would also be able to deter many hesitant fellows.
He was only afraid that the other party would be injured and wouldn't dare to act.
In any case, Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do, so he treated it as fishing. It was just fishing with a straight hook.
After a few days of observation, there weren't any suspicious characters on this Chang 'an Warship. But as long as the other party knew his itinerary, there was no need for them to act on the warship. They could easily set up traps on the Blazing Island and wait for him to step into their trap.
Gao Zhengyang was thinking about this in his heart as he casually chatted with Wei Anmei. Wei Anmei could also tell that he was in a daze. Just when she wanted to find an excuse to leave, a few people walked over.
The middle-aged man in the lead clasped his hands and smiled, "Madam Wei …"
Wei Anmei glanced at the person who came over as a smile appeared on her face. Zhang Yuyi, the second-in-command of the Fuchang Trading Company. He specialized in doing business with the Fire and Moon Countries. Everyone said that the third prince, Yue Tianxin, was behind him.
Sadly, after Yue Changkong was assassinated, Yue Tianxin, who everyone was optimistic about, didn't ascend to the throne. On the contrary, Yue Qingxue suddenly rose up and became the first female empress in the history of the human race.
Considering Yue Qingxue's identity as the Nation Protector Sword Sovereign, as well as the fact that she had the full support of the Tyrant Emperor Gao Zhengyang. Although this result was unexpected, it was also within reason.
Huo Tianlie was the emperor of the Fire Country. Didn't Gao Zhengyang kill him just like that? The powerful Fire Country couldn't recover from this setback. Right now, the entire country was in a mess.
Supporting his own woman to become the empress wasn't strange at all. When they thought of the tragic state of the Fire Country, everyone felt that this result wasn't bad.
Also, Yue Qingxue treated her brothers quite well, entrusting them with heavy responsibilities. Although Yue Tianxin didn't become the emperor, he advanced a step further and his authority increased greatly. Zhang Yuyi also rose along with him.
Wei Anmei actually hated this Zhang Yuyi a little. His gaze when he looked at her always had a lustful look in it. He even hinted to her that he wanted her to sleep with him.
Sometimes, she really wanted to slap this fellow to death. A mere fourth-ranked cultivator actually dared to set his sights on her, a seventh-ranked cultivator. This guy was really arrogant and egotistical. However, Zhang Yuyi was wealthy and powerful. He rented her Chang An Warship all year round, it wouldn't be good for her to fall out with him.
"Zhang Yuanwai." Wei Anmei smiled as she greeted.
The other party used money to buy a position as a wai. Although Wei Anmei hated him, she was extremely polite on the surface.
Zhang Yuyi had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had a dignified appearance with a thick black mustache. He glanced at Gao Zhengyang and said politely, "You look unfamiliar?"
The people on the Chang An Warship were all regular customers. Almost everyone knew each other. Gao Zhengyang was an unfamiliar face and was quite eye-catching here. Moreover, Wei Anmei was accompanying him and talking to him. This person's identity was definitely not simple. Doing business was all about connections. That was why Zhang Yuyi took the initiative to greet him.
"I forgot to introduce him. This is, a Buddhist Grandmaster …"
Wei Anmei didn't know Gao Zhengyang's name. These days, she had been calling him Grandmaster. She hesitated when introducing him to Zhang Yuyi.
According to common sense, at this time, Gao Zhengyang should take the initiative to introduce his name. Unfortunately, Gao Zhengyang wasn't an ordinary person. He wasn't interested in telling his name to these people. There was no need to fabricate a fake name.
There weren't many Buddhist believers in Yue Country. The Fire Country was warlike. All the emperors hated Buddhism. There were even fewer monks. This was the first time Zhang Yuyi had seen such an imposing monk.
The more imposing Gao Zhengyang was, the more interested Zhang Yuyi was. He said enthusiastically, "I'm Zhang Yuyi. I run a goods store. May I know how to address you, Grandmaster? Which Buddhist temple do you teach at? "
Gao Zhengyang smiled and didn't reply. His gaze went past Zhang Yuyi and fell on the two women behind him.
Among them, the young girl had bright eyes, and her eyebrows seemed to be rather quick-witted. She wore a white fox shawl around her neck and a long green dress. The jade bracelet on her wrist was green and clear. She also had a fragrant pouch and jade pendant hanging on her waist. She was dressed extravagantly.
The older girl was dressed in green and had a sword hanging on her waist. She looked very capable and heroic.
Jun Mochou and Jun Feixue. They were old friends of the Junshan Chamber of Commerce. They had met a few times in the Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range.
Gao Zhengyang was quite surprised to meet them on the Chang 'an Warship that was thousands of miles away.
The way Gao Zhengyang looked at the two women made a young man next to Zhang Yuyi unhappy.
