Chapter 585 Strange Movements of Sea Beasts
Jinling.
The morning sun is just rising.
Some of the Xie family's servants and attendants awoke from their sleep.
Although they worked for the Xie family, there was a distinction between master and servant, so they slept together in the courtyard next to the Xie family's house.
Every day they have to get up early and start work ahead of time to ensure that the Xie family runs smoothly.
However, this time, when the servants entered the Xie family's gate, they were all dumbfounded.
There wasn't a single person from the Xie family there!
The place was deserted, and the entire courtyard was eerily silent.
The servants were terrified and immediately began searching everywhere.
However, not only were there no living people, but even the cats and dogs kept by the ladies had disappeared.
Their jewelry and some valuable furniture were also gone.
However, the doors and windows were locked and the items were neatly arranged, so there was no sign of theft.
It was as if the entire Xie family, a large household, had moved away overnight...
Soon, the news spread throughout Jinling City. When they confirmed that the Xie family had completely left, everyone stared at each other in disbelief.
Why did the head of the four great families, the local tyrant of Jinling, leave so suddenly?
No one knows the answer. In any case, conflicts suddenly broke out in Nanjing, with the division of power, the struggle for territory, and a constant stream of rumors.
Of course, this is a story.
……
Within the realm of black jade.
After some time of small talk, the Ye and Xie families finally became acquainted with Xia Ningyan.
Seeing so many people come in, Xia Ningyan finally opened up and started talking, introducing them to the Black Jade Realm and some taboos of the Demon Lord's Secret Realm.
For example, you must never enter the Demon Lord's palace without permission, and you must never bully the demons in the secret realm.
At first, everyone listened to Xia Ningyan's every word, after all, she was the first resident here and still maintained an air of mystery.
But gradually, everyone found that Xia Ningyan was easy to talk to and had a very likable personality, so they became less reserved.
In particular, Ye Kang's mother, Xie Yunying, and his two younger sisters, Lingyu and Lingxiu, were both very interested in Xia Ningyan.
The three walked over with smiles and surrounded Xia Ningyan.
"Miss Xia, are you and Kang'er very familiar with each other? This boy knows such a beautiful girl, but he didn't even tell his mother."
Upon hearing that Xie Yunying was Ye Kang's mother, Xia Ningyan blushed for some reason and quickly shook her head, saying, "Auntie, you misunderstand. I am not Lord Ye's friend. It's just that he is kind-hearted and let me, a homeless person, stay here."
“How could you be homeless? Poor child, if you have any grievances, you can tell your aunt.”
Xia Ningyan felt a warmth in her heart and whispered, "Actually, I am of royal blood from the previous dynasty. I was a holy maiden in the Gu tribe in the southwest. Later, my identity was exposed, and the entire Great Jin Dynasty regarded me as someone who must be killed. It was Lord Ye who brought me here, and Ningyan was able to survive..."
"What! A princess from the previous dynasty! A holy maiden of the Gu clan!"
The large group of Xie family members behind them were all dumbfounded.
They had all heard about the Gu Clan, but they never expected that the rumored treacherous and vicious Holy Maiden would actually be here all along.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunying sighed, "Poor child, it's alright. From now on, you are family with us."
Mother Ye looked at Xia Ningyan with a loving expression, completely satisfied.
Behind them, Xie Liancheng and Ye Long exchanged a glance and both smiled helplessly.
Xie Liancheng looked at his family members behind him and said, "Everyone must keep in mind what Miss Xia just said. People will come here again in the future. Let's find a flat place with a water source and start rebuilding the Xie family."
As the head of the family, Xie Liancheng's words carried the most weight.
But some people still complained, "How can we rebuild if we can't bring servants and attendants?"
Snap!
Xie Liancheng slapped the muttering junior across the face, knocking him to the ground.
He said coldly, "You've been living a life of ease for too long, haven't you? We are warriors, not pampered nobles. Hand over all the materials you brought. Anyone who talks nonsense again will be punished according to family rules!"
Immediately, everyone fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.
While construction was in full swing in the Ink Jade Realm, Ye Kang had already left the Great Jin Dynasty.
On the coral islands.
Ye Kang swiftly traversed the sea, his black robes fluttering in the wind, and soon he arrived at a familiar sea area.
It was here that he captured the Blue Sea Golden Locust and robbed Helian Yingjie.
This sea area is very desolate. Apart from wandering cultivators who go beachcombing, basically no one is bored enough to come here.
He was flying halfway across the sea when suddenly, a demonic aura filled the air.
He glanced sharply into the sea and, from the perspective of his unfathomable blue eyes, saw sea beasts appearing on the seabed.
They moved forward purposefully, unlike ordinary sea creatures that were out foraging for food.
Without hesitation, Ye Kang entered the sea. Under the cover of his powerful cultivation, the sea beasts were all frozen in place, trembling in fear.
The sea beasts dared not make the slightest move simply because the pressure was emanating from the sea beasts.
This is the difference in strength.
The leading sea monster was an ugly electric eel.
When he saw Ye Kang, his expression was trembling and contorted with fear.
"Senior, spare your life!"
Ye Kang looked at him coldly and said, "You are not ordinary sea beasts. Where do you come from and what do you want?"
The electric eel's eyes darted around as it said, "We are just ordinary demons, and we have no intention of harming anyone!"
boom!
The electric eel instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Ye Kang passed through the blood mist, and the blood and flesh automatically avoided him.
He looked at the other powerful electric eel that was now in a daze and said, "I don't like liars. Now it's your turn to answer."
"We are the vanguard under General Kuangtao of the Nine Netherworld Palace! We are ordered to infiltrate the Coral Islands!" The electric eel dared not hide anything and immediately told him.
Ye Kang frowned: "Infiltration? What does the Nine Nether Palace want to do?"
"I don't know, senior! I'm just a nobody!"
The electric eel was almost in tears. He was just a lowly soldier; how could he possibly know so much?
Ye Kang nodded; he did believe that statement.
With a thought, countless sword energies pierced through all the sea beasts in front of him, turning the seawater completely blood-red.
He never said that answering would save him from death.
A moment later, he resurfaced, his face now filled with murderous intent.
What is the Nine Nether Palace trying to do?
A direct attack on the Coral Islands?
If that's all there is to it, that's fine. But what if You Hong has other motives...?
Ye Kang clenched his fists, a sense of danger rising from the bottom of his heart.
His destination was the Luofu Remnant Realm, located next to the Wuji Sword Sect. Even at full speed, it would take at least half a day to reach it.
Ye Kang originally didn't plan to use the Shrinking Earth Talisman, but now it seems he can't save it.
With a thought, the second Shrinking Earth Talisman emitted a bright light, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the entrance to the Luofu Ruins.
Just as the Yang family members who were guarding the place were about to greet him warmly, Ye Kang said coldly, "Notify everyone to assemble at Zushan."
