"Phew, that was close! We've finally escaped. "
The purple-haired woman and the others had burned a large number of soul crystals and killed their way out of the encirclement of tens of thousands of monsters. They heaved a long sigh of relief and spoke with lingering fear.
If they had been trapped in that sea region, just the tens of thousands of monsters would have been enough to destroy the impregnable ship. Even if they had extraordinary abilities, they wouldn't have been able to survive.
"I really didn't expect that we would encounter that Black Tortoise undergoing its lightning tribulation. It seems like it was afraid of being attacked by other monsters in the Three Star Island region during its tribulation, so it had no choice but to travel tens of thousands of seas to undergo its tribulation here.
"If it survives the lightning tribulation and receives the baptism of the lightning tribulation, it will break through to become a level four Heavenly Beast and possess the strength of a peerless king. When it returns, it will become the absolute king of the Three Star Island region," Elder Mei said.
"Elder Mei, after that Black Tortoise survives its lightning tribulation, do you think we have a chance to use the cultivation resources on the ship to ask it to help us take revenge and take back control of the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance?" the purple-haired woman asked after some thought.
Clearly, she was very unwilling to give up the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance and wanted to take revenge for her dead parents.
"No, that's too risky." Elder Mei shook her head and said, "Legend has it that the Black Tortoise is cruel and greedy. Our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance has no relationship with it. If we blindly come into contact with it, there is a high chance of an accident happening."
"Elder Mei, what if we give that key to it?" the purple-haired woman said unwillingly as she gently bit her rosy lips.
"Yuyan, I know you are eager to take revenge, but that key is our greatest bargaining chip. It's also what your two uncles want the most. We can't lose it so easily. Moreover, we are not sure whether the Black Tortoise will kill and rob after getting the key. We need to think about revenge in the long run. "
We need to think about it carefully, "Elder Mei said with a soft sigh as she looked at the purple-haired woman who was blinded by hatred.
"Key …"
Ye Chenfeng, who had just left the deck, happened to hear the purple-haired woman and the others' conversation. He was a little interested in the key they were talking about.
"Chengfeng, what's happening outside?"
Yue Nichang, who was in the midst of refining the Heaven and Earth Spirit Herbs and cultivating the Six Meridian Divinity Shield, opened her eyes and asked when she heard the footsteps.
"Earlier, there was a yao beast undergoing its tribulation in the ocean. However, it is now safe," Ye Chenfeng said coolly.
"Demonic Beast Tribulation!" Yue Nichang raised her eyebrows and said in astonishment, "This North Sea is indeed abnormally dangerous. There is actually such a terrifying demonic beast. If that demonic beast had passed through the lightning tribulation, it would most likely possess the strength of a peerless king."
Normally, when a Level 3 Heavenly Beast reached the limit of its power, it would attract a Lightning Tribulation. Through the Lightning Tribulation, it would baptize its Demonic Core and evolve its bloodline power.
At the Level 7 Heavenly Beast stage, it would attract the second lightning tribulation. Only when it reached the limit of Heavenly Beasts would it attract the third lightning tribulation and complete the transformation into a Saint Beast.
"Nichang, how's the tempering of your five viscera and six bowels? How far are you from the initial success of the Viscera Refining Stage?" Ye Chenfeng realized that they could encounter danger at any time in the North Sea. Only when he and Yue Nichang fully recovered would they have the opportunity to deal with the dangers that could arise at any time.
"I estimate that in another month or so, I will be able to reach the initial success of the Viscera Refining Stage and recover from my injuries," Yue Nichang said.
"Alright, I won't disturb you any further. You can continue with your cultivation. We must quickly recover from our injuries, only then can we control our own destiny," Ye Chenfeng nodded and said.
"Young Master Ye, Miss Yue, I have brought food for you."
Just as Ye Chenfeng and Yue Nichang were recovering from their injuries, a series of hurried knocks sounded from the door. A maid wearing an emerald green dress, with long black hair coiled on top of her head and a flushed face, walked in with a sumptuous spread of food and placed it on the round table.
"Sorry for the trouble, Cui 'er."
Ye Chenfeng smiled at the green-dressed girl and softly thanked her.
"Nichang, you must be hungry. Let's eat something first."
After breaking through to the Heavenly Beast Immortal Realm, although Ye Chenfeng's appetite for food was not very strong, the food cooked by the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance was very much to his liking. Moreover, there were many ingredients and spirit items. Ye Chenfeng said softly as he smelled the fragrance coming from the round table.
"No, I'm not hungry. You should continue cultivating." Yue Nichang shook her head and did not stop cultivating.
"Alright, then I'll eat first."
With that, Ye Chenfeng got off the bed and went to the round table to eat alone.
When Ye Chenfeng was full and was about to return to Yue Nichang's side to continue healing, the sensitive Soul-Devouring Brain suddenly detected a trace of abnormality in his body.
"Poison, I've been poisoned."
Under the analysis of the Soul-Devouring Brain, Ye Chenfeng unexpectedly discovered that a colorless, odorless, and very difficult to detect had appeared in his body. It was a very special poison that was slowly corroding his body.
Once the poison acted up, although it was not fatal, it would cause weakness in the body, and he would be at the mercy of others.
"It's the food. Someone had poisoned the food."
Ye Chenfeng immediately thought of the source of the poison. After confirming that the food he had just eaten was poisonous, he immediately controlled the parasitic Chaos Divine Wood in his heart to devour the poison.
The Chaos Divine Wood could devour all energy and was the nemesis of all poisons. Under the devouring of the Chaos Divine Wood, the poison in Ye Chenfeng's body quickly disappeared.
"What's wrong, Chengfeng? What happened?"
Sensing that something was wrong with Ye Chenfeng's aura, Yue Nichang stopped cultivating and asked with concern.
"I was poisoned just now, but I'm fine now."
Ye Chenfeng said with a gloomy face. His mind was spinning rapidly as he tried to figure out who had poisoned him.
"What? Could it be that those people want to harm us?" Yue Nichang's expression changed slightly as she said sternly.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be them. If they wanted to harm us, they would have done it long ago. They wouldn't have given us so many healing spiritual items and waited for our injuries to gradually recover before making a move."
"Could there be a spy on this ship?"
Thinking about the situation of the purple-haired woman and the others, the smart Yue Nichang immediately thought of the problem.
"If I'm not wrong, the people chasing after them are very close. Thus, the spy on the ship chose to poison them at this time. The others should have been poisoned as well."
"There shouldn't be many people who know about our powerful combat strength. Thus, the spy should be an important person on this ship," Ye Chenfeng analyzed.
"Chengfeng, what do you want to do now?" Although Yue Nichang didn't want to be innocently involved in the pursuit, the North Sea was vast and boundless. There were too many hidden dangers in the sea. Leaving without permission would be even more dangerous.
Ye Chenfeng already knew the purple-haired woman's name. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Think of a way to inform Mo Yuyan and tell her to be careful."
Yue Nichang looked at Ye Chenfeng with burning eyes, her tone unfriendly as she said, "Chengfeng, don't tell me you've taken a liking to her."
Ye Chenfeng rubbed his nose and said half-jokingly, "I don't even like you. Why would I like her?"
"You …"
Hearing Ye Chenfeng's answer, Yue Nichang nearly exploded with anger. Her eyes revealed a terrifying gaze.
"Alright, I'm just joking with you. You are the most beautiful." Seeing Yue Nichang's angry eyes, Ye Chenfeng smiled and said, "Right now, we are grasshoppers on the same rope as her. If something happens to them, we won't be spared either. Thus, we must think of a way to help them get through this difficult time."
However, there was another important point that Ye Chenfeng didn't tell Yue Nichang. He had developed a strong interest in the mysterious key in Mo Yuyan's hand.
