Chapter 372: The Black Ocean

Although there were no traces left of Jiang village where people once lived, Gu Bulao, with his third eye, could see faint marks left behind by the casting of the Taoist spell.

This discovery made him lost in thought.

"Jiang village! Jiang Yun, if my guess is correct, your family, the origin of the whole Jiang village, has some similarities to me!"

"The ones who brought you to the Seeking-Tao Sect, to me, must be them. But why would they do this?"

"With the ability to cast Taoist spells, their strength is extremely powerful. Even though Jiang Yun is human and you are demon race, you should have a way to train Jiang Yun!"

Gu Bulao shook his head, knowing that he wouldn’t find an answer to his question. He turned to Liu Tianren and asked, "Are you sure they are surnamed Jiang?"

Although Gu Bulao looked a bit scary with his third eye, Liu Tianren remained calm and said, "They told me they are surnamed Jiang!"

"Can you tell which demon race they belong to?"

"I can’t tell!"

Gu Bulao muttered, "Demons who can use Taoist spells have hidden identities that you can’t see!"

Ignoring Liu Tianren, Gu Bulao said to himself, "With clues like demon race, ability to use Taoist spells, and surname Jiang, finding them won’t be difficult!"

"Okay, I’m leaving!"

After saying this, Gu Bulao immediately vanished into thin air.

It was only then that Liu Tianren let out a long breath and felt his back soaked in cold sweat, murmuring, "What is the origin of Jiang Yun’s master? It’s too scary. Even with my peak Dao Spirit strength, I can hardly bear it!"

"If he comes again, I won’t see him ever again!"

Shaking his head, Liu Tianren also disappeared.

Leaving One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, Gu Bulao headed towards No-Returning Road.

However, at this moment, he muttered with displeasure on his face, "This stinky kid, making me take care of Jiang village. Even though they have already left and don’t need me to take care of them at all, I still have to find them!"

"Otherwise, if the stinky kid asks about me in the future, won’t I be very embarrassed!"

"Moreover, even though they left One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, without the Realm Master’s permission, they shouldn’t be able to leave Mountain-Sea World. In other words, they are still inside Mountain-Sea World now!"

"After I find that little girl first, then I will dig you out!"

"I don’t believe it. I still can’t find you!"

Gu Bulao absolutely didn’t expect that he really couldn’t find them!

Not only had Jiang village disappeared without a trace, but when he arrived at No-Returning Road and saw Sha Jingshan, Gu Bulao learned that Lu Xiaoyu had actually been taken away by her grandfather over a month ago, without saying where they were going.

Now Gu Bulao was a bit dumbfounded. When his apprentice was about to leave, he couldn’t fulfill either of the two things he had asked him to do.

So, for a long time after that, Gu Bulao wandered aimlessly in the Mountain-Sea World, searching for Jiang village and Lu Xiaoyu’s whereabouts.

。。。

Inside Beast Forest, after some difficulties, Dongfang Bo finally met Brother Hei as mentioned by Jiang Yun.

However, when he revealed his identity, Dongfang Bo was surprised to find that Brother Hei had never heard of him before.

And he vividly remembered Jiang Yun saying that Brother Hei had long admired him.

Listening to Dongfang Bo repeatedly and tediously introducing himself, Brother Hei couldn’t help but raise his hands in a helpless gesture, saying, "Okay, I’ve heard of you. Brother Jiang often talks about you. Please, just tell me, what do you want from me?"

Brother Hei’s response finally satisfied Dongfang Bo, who nodded and handed over a jade vial, saying, "This is the Reaching-Sky Pill that your little martial brother asked me to give you before he left!"

"Go?"

Brother Hei didn’t go to pick up the jade bottle. Instead, he caught onto this phrase and looked puzzled at Dongfang Bo, asking, "Where did he go?"

"Mirage!"

"What, he went to Mirage!"

Brother Hei’s eyes suddenly widened, but then quickly regained his composure. He nodded and said, "Indeed, with his strength, he does qualify to enter Mirage!"

Seeing that Brother Hei obviously didn’t want to talk much, and also considering that he was locked here by his master, Dongfang Bo tactfully didn’t overstay his welcome. After handing the Reaching-Sky Pill to Brother Hei, he bid farewell and left.

Brother Hei naturally didn’t try to stop Dongfang Bo, but instead held the Reaching-Sky Pill in his hand, looked up at the sky, and a warm smile appeared on his face. He murmured, "Brother Jiang, this bottle of Reaching-Sky Pill you’ve given me really comes at a timely moment!"

"Well, in return for this bottle of Reaching-Sky Pill, sometime soon, when the Seeking-Tao Sect faces a great difficulty, I will lend a helping hand!"

。。。

After passing through the gap, Jiang Yun suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, his mind becoming confused.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself immersed in a vast black ocean.

Looking up, he saw darkness above, but there was an unknown source of light that allowed him to see clearly.

Although the ocean seemed endless, the water was different from that in the Mountain-Sea World.

There was no smell of seawater, only an oppressive stillness that made breathing difficult.

Above the black ocean floated small white boats.

The contrast of the black sea and white boats made the world before him seem extremely strange.

Despite being the last to arrive, Jiang Yun could see that those who came before him were also in the water, looking around with caution and confusion.

Clearly, they were also unsure of where they were.

Just as Jiang Yun was about to release his divine sense to check around, all of a sudden, he felt his body getting heavy, a huge force pulling him from the sea.

It felt like there was a hand trying hard to grab him down.

In a moment of urgency, Jiang Yun didn’t have time to think, his strong fighting instinct made his expression change, and his inner energy immediately burst out.

He shot up into the sky, breaking free from the pull, and burst out of the sea.

As he left the water, Jiang Yun’s expression changed again, as there was a huge pressure in the air!

With pressure above and pull below, without hesitation, Jiang Yun changed direction in the air, and forcefully leaped towards a white little boat about ten yards away.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yun’s feet finally landed on the boat.

It was strange, even though the boat was tiny and only fit one person, all the pull and pressure immediately disappeared.

This made Jiang Yun’s expression freeze, thinking to himself, "Could it be that, in this place, the only safe place is on the small boat?"
