Chapter 2009: Chapter 2006: Lord Red Building
"We’ve caught up."
Wu Ming drove the Spirit Boat, leaving the Crescent Island’s area, catching up with the Hidden Spirit Boat belonging to Zhang Cangyun.
Lin Bai approached and saw Zhang Cangyun’s Hidden Spirit Boat stopping in front of a giant red Spirit Boat.
And Zhang Cangyun was continuously bowing to the red Spirit Boat on the Hidden Spirit Boat, while the other Warriors on the Hidden Spirit Boat also appeared anxious and uneasy.
"Oh, more people have arrived. Didn’t expect we’d encounter so many people on our rare return to the God-Demon Sea."
On the red Spirit Boat, the ominous youth faintly smiled, gazing into the distance at Lin Bai and the others on their Spirit Boat.
On the Spirit Boat, Wu Ming saw the giant red Spirit Boat and his expression changed slightly, even somewhat aghast.
Swish—
The Spirit Boat pursued the Hidden Spirit Boat, arriving before the red Spirit Boat.
Lin Bai, Changsun Yun, and the others also saw the giant red Spirit Boat, and the packed assembly of over ten thousand Warriors aboard.
The Warriors on the red Spirit Boat mostly had Cultivation around the Yangshen Realm, and among them could be seen many Strong Ones of the Life-and-Death Realm.
Zhang Cangyun turned and saw Lin Bai and the others pursuing him, his face grew even darker, undoubtedly realizing Lin Bai and the others catching up was worsening his dire situation.
Lin Bai’s expression also shifted when he saw the red Spirit Boat; he had seen such a level of Spirit Boat before.
When he arrived at the God-Demon Sea, the Divine Dragon Spirit Boat of the Divine Dragon Domain was comparable to the current red Spirit Boat.
Only the Spirit Boat of the Divine Dragon Domain was filled with majesty, whereas the red Spirit Boat before them exuded sternness...
"Zhang Cangyun, hand over the Qingling Fish."
Changsun Yun, after catching up, directly said to Zhang Cangyun.
When Zhang Cangyun heard this, his expression stiffened, he glanced at the water tank in the hands of the ominous youth, remaining silent.
Changsun Yun followed Zhang Cangyun’s gaze, seeing the ominous youth on the red Spirit Boat.
Changsun Yun then said to the ominous youth on the red Spirit Boat: "Your Excellency, this Qingling Fish belongs to us. Please return it."
Faced with such an enormous red Spirit Boat, Changsun Yun did not falter; rather, he straightforwardly demanded the ominous youth return the Qingling Fish.
The ominous youth, Red Building, chuckled and said: "Yours? But Zhang Cangyun said he fetched it for me?"
Zhang Cangyun hurriedly said: "Red Building, every word I said was true."
Changsun Yun coldly replied: "He used us as tribute items to seize the five Qingling Fish from the Giant Demon."
"These rightfully belong to us."
Changsun Yun said firmly.
Red Building frowned, glanced at the Qingling Fish in the water tank, and smiled: "This truly is a conundrum."
"Should I return the Qingling Fish to them?"
Red Building asked the Warriors beside him.
Beside Red Building, a group of Warriors burst into laughter: "Hahaha, a bunch of Outer Sect Martial Artists, why pay them any mind?"
"Return? Anything aboard our Spirit Boat never goes out."
"Exactly."
The group of Warriors laughed heartily.
On the red Spirit Boat, tens of thousands of Warriors laughed in chorus.
The ominous youth Red Building heard the Warriors’ laughter and smiled, saying to Lin Bai and the others on the Spirit Boat: "Returning these five fish to you is possible, as long as you defeat these few useless subordinates of mine."
"How about it?"
Red Building smiled with interest, looking at Changsun Yun, Meng Li, and others.
Among them, Lin Bai could barely be considered noticeable, a Warrior at the Eighth Level of Yangshen Realm, not even worthy of Red Building’s attention.
As Changsun Yun hesitated.
Suddenly, at this moment, a ripple appeared above Lin Bai and others’ Spirit Boat, and an Old man’s Illusory Shadow emerged from the void.
Red Building looked at the person, smirked: "Finally willing to show yourself? Fang Yiyun?"
Lin Bai, Meng Li, and others also looked up, seeing the disheveled Old Man standing in the air above their Spirit Boat.
This person was He Ran none other than Fang Yiyun.
Since Lin Bai and the others left the Inner Gate, Fang Yiyun had been following them but never revealed his form until now, hearing that Lin Bai and the others were about to engage Red Building; only then did he show himself.
Red Building chuckled: "If I hadn’t proposed a fight, would you have continued hiding?"
"Fang Yiyun?"
Red Building chuckled.
"Fang Yiyun?"
"Is he Fang Yiyun?"
"The one reputed to be the First Sword Cultivator of the Life-and-Death Realm in East Continent Academy?"
On the red Spirit Boat, tens of thousands of Warriors all looked at Fang Yiyun.
"Master Fang." Lin Bai and others cupped their fists in salute.
Fang Yiyun looked at the ominous youth, softly said: "Red Building, you dare appear openly in the Outer Region of East Continent Academy, are you seeking death?"
Red Building chuckled: "I just came pursuing a traitor, didn’t expect to encounter you here."
Fang Yiyun coldly retorted: "Return the Qingling Fish, leave the God-Demon Sea immediately, or once I notify East Continent Academy, the sea will be sealed, and you won’t be able to leave."
Red Building slightly smiled: "Originally, I wanted to catch up with an old friend, but you come straight to drive me away, even bringing East Continent Academy to bear."
"No matter, I’ll be leaving then."
"As for these fish, you can have them."
Red Building didn’t care much for the Qingling Fish and tossed it to Fang Yiyun directly.
Fang Yiyun caught the fish.
"Senior Fang Yiyun, save me, save me... I’m an Outer Sect disciple of East Continent Academy!" At this moment, Zhang Cangyun appeared as if grabbing onto a lifeline, urgently pleaded with Fang Yiyun.
Fang Yiyun looked at Zhang Cangyun, speaking to Red Building: "Red Building, this person..."
Red Building chuckled: "Fang Yiyun, I’ve already given you much face, I’ve returned the fish, but this person, signed a contract and is one of Red Building’s people..."
As he spoke, Red Building retrieved a contract from a Storage Bag, allowing Fang Yiyun to see.
Zhang Cangyun became ashen-faced upon seeing Red Building present the contract.
Fang Yiyun immediately glared at Zhang Cangyun, saying: "Living well in the Outer Sect, yet you committed such treacherous acts."
"Since you’ve defected, you are no longer a disciple of East Continent Academy!"
"Let’s go."
Fang Yiyun immediately waved his great sleeve, taking the Spirit Boat with Lin Bai and others, left the Outer Region.
Upon reaching the Teleport Island of the Outer Region, boarded the teleport, directly returning to the Inner Gate.
Zhang Cangyun watched Fang Yiyun leave, his face turned ashen as he sat on the ground, desolate and hopeless.
Red Building chuckled: "Take this traitor away!"
Beside Red Building, another Warrior asked: "Red Building, why did you let Fang Yiyun leave so easily?"
"He saw our whereabouts..."
Red Building glanced at the person, laughed disdainfully: "What else should be done? Are you considering killing Fang Yiyun?"
The Warrior coldly replied: "It’s not impossible!"
Red Building then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Qi Long, remember my words, if Fang Yiyun wants to leave, even a Death Reversal Realm can’t stop him!"
"I had already explained very clearly to Fang Yiyun that I came to pursue a traitor, once caught, I would leave."
"And if we had clashed with Fang Yiyun earlier, the commotion caused in the God-Demon Sea would have been far larger!"
"That... would truly be alerting the snake!"
