After Yerburgh and Mei Ji parted, the cold iron ship headed to the Ancient Monster Clan's base in the Sea of Annihilation, which was also a massive island.
He went straight to the belly of a mountain on the island. The belly of the mountain was a completely different world. There were crisscrossing stone paths and many spacious stone rooms.
Walking to one of the stone chambers, Yerburgh didn't say anything and started to read something. Soon, he found a painting, and the person in that painting was ShiYan!
Yerburgh sneered, "Indeed, it's that kid!"
While he was talking to Mei Ji, he had just glanced at Shi Yan and then looked away. He pretended that he didn't mind. However, with just one glance, he had seen through Shi Yan and guessed his identity. "A kid with a wisp of the soul of an Absolute Beginning creature at First Sky of Immortal Realm. He's a big, fat piece of meat. Tate paid a high price for the information. Should I give it to him or not? "
He hesitated for a few seconds and then made up his mind. He grinned, "Making money is the most important thing. I've returned Mei Ji's favor. Yeah, there's also that little skeleton. He's related to the two people the Devouring Clan is looking for. I'm lucky this time. I've just come to the Sea of Annihilation and I've earned two fortunes. Haha!"
Shortly after, he contacted Tate of the Devouring Clan and the Soul Clan to spread the news.
…
"Madame Mei Ji is back!"
"Madame Mei Ji is home!"
"Welcome back, Madame Mei Ji!"
"..
Many beautiful men and women of the Phantom Clan cheered and laughed along the way on the island where flowers were scattered everywhere.
Of those men and women, the men were handsome and confident to the extreme, and the women were charming and seductive. All of them were first-rate outstanding, and with a single glance, one would sigh in admiration at how the creator favored this race too much.
The Phantom Clan didn't have any ugly words. Indeed, they weren't deceiving. Along the way, Shi Yan was dazzled and amazed.
The Phantom men and women on this island had different realms. Some of them were at Ethereal God Realm, Original God Realm, and Incipient God Realm. They were all young. The clan had sent them to the Sea of Annihilation to cultivate and collect information about the Sea of Annihilation.
Deep in the Sea Domain of Nihility, only the experts at the Immortal Realm could travel freely without fear.
However, as the Seven Great Clans were clans with profound backgrounds, of course, they had powerful battleships that could resist external dangers and transport their low-realm fellows to any area. These young men and women of the Phantom Clan had used those battleships to transport them.
The seabed and the sky above the Sea of Annihilation were full of dangers. Even Incipient God Realm experts couldn't move freely.
However, the islands in the Sea of Annihilation were really safe. Even King God Realm experts could survive there.
This island was the base of the Phantom Clan. Mei Ji was the leader of this island. She was in charge of all the information and she was the backbone of this island. She had the highest realm. When she wasn't here, the men and women of the Phantom Clan didn't feel safe. Now that she was back, they exhaled in relief.
The Phantom Clan was the clan with the best information network. As they were in charge of the Sea of Annihilation, of course, they knew what had happened on Dragon Lizard Star.
After Mei Ji disappeared, they were worried that something bad would happen to her. Today, she came back safe and sound, which made them happy.
Of course, many of them were curious about Shi Yan. Along the way, they observed Shi Yan.
At this moment, Shi Yan was wearing a blue warrior uniform. He looked strong and handsome, which attracted many young girls of the Phantom Clan. They looked at him shyly.
Mei Ji walked directly to the luxurious palace in the center of the palace. The interior of the palace was made of smooth jade with many exquisite ornaments and gems. She walked to the center of the hall and sat on the high seat. She signaled ShiYan to stand aside and then started to read the latest news without saying a word.
Some young girls of the Phantom Clan at the Original God Realm and Incipient God Realm were talking to each other in the hall. Sometimes, their beautiful eyes glanced at Shi Yan and then they giggled, which made people's hearts beat faster.
Mei Ji focused on reading the book. She didn't mind Shi Yan. Her white fingers flipped through the pages and her brows gradually furrowed.
When she reached the end, her face became cold and she hissed, "That damn Yerburgh! He's so ungrateful!"
Shi Yan lifted his head to look at her.
"Yerburgh has released the news about you. He said that you're the one with the wisp of the Absolute Beginning creature's soul. He also said that you came here with me. At least, Tate of the Soul Clan knows about it. Yerburgh also said that we're related to the deaths of Nazario and Bastos, "explained Mei Ji.
Shi Yan felt chilled. He thought about the Ancient Monster Clan man with a body as hard as steel. "Next time I see him, I will try to kill him."
As soon as he said that, the girls of the Phantom Clan who were chattering in the hall quieted down and looked at him strangely.
They knew Yerburgh's background and cultivation base. He was at Third Sky of Immortal Realm. Even their Madame Mei Ji could defeat Yerburgh at most. It was impossible to kill him. This unknown kid at First Sky of Immortal Realm dared to talk arrogantly. They didn't know if they should cry or laugh.
However, what Mei Ji said next surprised them even more. "You want to kill him? Unless you reach Second Sky of Immortal Realm, if you fight him now, you won't die. "
This made those girls even more surprised. They looked at ShiYan with puzzled eyes.
Mei Ji put down the books and turned to the young girls. "A girl left Dragon Lizard Star. She's called Audrey. I think she will come to the Sea of Annihilation. You guys should pay attention to her." She recognized a piece of jade. "Imprint her face on it. It will be easier to find her. We will try our best to find her."
Shi Yan did as he was told.
"We can't get the information fast. You have to wait. I can't tell you how long you have to wait," said Mei Ji.
Shi Yan nodded to show that he understood.
"You better not leave this place. I'm afraid that someone will want to harm you. This place is the base of the Phantom Clan. Unless the members of the Seven Great Clans want to fight to the death, they won't break our agreement to intrude this place. You'll be safe here," said Mei Ji.
Shi Yan frowned but didn't answer.
"Madame, when you weren't here, Batum … sent someone here," said a young girl of the Phantom Clan while Mei Ji didn't answer.
Mei Ji grimaced. She looked irritated as she hissed, "Don't mention this man to me anymore!"
The young girls kept quiet out of fear. They shivered as they agreed. They all felt bitter inwardly.
"Yu Lian, arrange for him to stay on the island," Mei Ji waved her hand.
A Phantom Clan girl at Incipient God Realm bent her waist and nodded respectfully. Then, she turned to Shi Yan and said, "Follow me."
ShiYan didn't say anything, following her out of this hall and heading to another elegant jade building. On the way, he asked curiously, "Who is Batum? Why did your Madame look so irritated when she heard about him? "
Yu Lian was around eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a green dress and looked pure and charming. She turned around to check and then muttered, "Let's talk later."
Shortly after, she led Shi Yan to a building and said, "Batum is a terrifying expert. He's not a member of the Seven Great Clans. He cultivates alone and is brutal. He's the most dangerous character in the Sea of Annihilation. He's got Dark Energy. In ten years max, he will become a Territory Ancestor Realm expert. He's always living on the seabed of the Sea of Annihilation. One time, he came out to trade for cultivating materials. When he saw Madame Mei, he was stunned. He's been pursuing Madame Mei for years. He even begged our clan to marry Madame Mei to him. He's willing to work for our Phantom Clan. "
"An expert at the Territory Ancestor Realm …" Shi Yan nodded. "He's destined to become a Territory Ancestor Realm expert. What do your precursors think about this?"
"They think it's feasible. They sent a message to Madame Mei to treat it seriously. However, she didn't agree. Her relationship with her superiors is stiff." Yu Lian sighed. "Although Batum has a profound realm and formidable competence, he's really … ugly. It's natural that she doesn't agree. If I were her, I wouldn't agree, either. If he's handsome, it's okay because of his profound cultivation base. But his appearance … "
Apparently, the girl stood on Mei Ji's side. She pouted her lips and complained about the decision of her precursors.
"What's the result?" asked Shi Yan.
"Our superiors and Madame Mei Ji are in a deadlock for a while. Then, they gave us a solution. If Madame Mei Ji can reach the Territory Ancestor Realm before Batum, they won't force you to do it. Otherwise, they will force you to agree. Madame … She agreed. I don't know what she's thinking. She doesn't know the secret of Dark Energy. How could she reach the Territory Ancestor Realm faster than Batum? We all thought that she was trying to negotiate. We're worried that she would do something bad, "sighed Yu Lian.
Shi Yan got it now.
He finally understood why Mei Ji had risked everything when she found out that he had fused with a wisp of the Absolute Beginning creature's soul. It turned out that she had such a problem.
If Mei Ji wanted to reach the Territory Ancestor Realm faster, there was no better way than refining him. Under the pressure of her clan, she could do anything to resist her marriage.
"Batum considers you his exclusive property now. He said in the Sea of Annihilation that you're destined to be his woman. He often comes here to harass you. I'm sure he thinks that you can't reach the Territory Ancestor Realm faster than him. That's why he thinks that the future is predetermined, "said Yu Lian. Yu Lian continued, "After our Master left, he came again. He told us that he was one step closer to breaking through to the Territory Ancestor Realm. He's refining his own territory. He wants to become the master of a territory first. Once his Incipient Extent transforms into a territory, he will be the real Territory Ancestor."
Shi Yan understood that the Territory Ancestor Realm experts had to refine their Incipient Extent and turn it into a Territory. Then, they could be called Territory Ancestor Realm experts.
He sighed. He didn't expect that Mei Ji, a member of the Seven Great Clans, couldn't control herself. She was such a pitiful woman.
