Chapter 605
byBefore, Shui Ling had revealed a lot of information about this side to Yang Kai and even directly admitted that if it was divided according to the strength level in the Great Han, the Water Temple could barely be considered a first-class force here because there was a Saint Realm expert sitting in it.
Her modesty made Yang Kai mistakenly think that the Water Temple was not so great.
But now, seeing the change in the expressions of these people from the Proud Alliance, Yang Kai suddenly felt that the force Shui Ling came from seemed to be not bad.
At least, the expressions of the few people led by the young woman became solemn when they heard the words ‘Water Temple’, their hostility subsided a lot, and a trace of fear emerged in their eyes.
Looking at Shui Ling hesitantly, the young woman and those few people took a few steps back and whispered to each other.
I don’t know what they were exactly talking about. Yang Kai had no intention of prying into their private conversation and just waited quietly.
Shui Ling looked completely relaxed. She didn’t understand where this place was before and didn’t dare to expose her identity, but when she heard that they were from the Proud Alliance, she had no scruples.
Because the Water Temple was not too far from the Proud Alliance. It only took half a month to go back and forth, and there were still some trade exchanges between the two from time to time. They could be considered to have some friendship.
While whispering, the few people from the Du Ao League sized up Yang Kai and Shui Ling intently, as if discussing the authenticity of what Shui Ling had said.
After a long while, the young woman gently let out a breath and shouted loudly at Shui Ling, “Girl, you said you are from the Water God Palace. Do you have any proof？”
“Yes.” Shui Ling smiled, took out a azure jade tablet, and casually threw it towards the young woman.
The young woman caught it, felt it carefully for a moment, and her expression became even more solemn. She nodded and said, “This jade tablet indeed contains the power of water. It should have been carved by a master proficient in the power of water. However, I’m sorry, we haven’t seen such a jade tablet before, so we can’t be sure that you are a disciple of the Water God Palace.”
As she spoke, she threw the jade tablet back again. Although the hostility on her face had converged a lot, there was still some vigilance.
After pondering for a while, she said, “Well, if it’s convenient, can the two of you stay in our Du Ao League for a few days？ If it can be verified that the girl is indeed a disciple of the Water God Palace, then today’s matter will be considered as if it didn’t happen. If not… hmm, you understand.”
The young woman’s words were a combination of soft and hard, and she spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, which indeed showed her meticulous thinking and ability to adapt to the situation.
“Okay.” Shui Ling giggled and didn’t refuse.
Anyway, her identity wasn’t fake. As long as these people from the Du Ao League went to inquire, they would definitely understand.
“What do you think, Yang Kai?” Shui Ling asked Yang Kai for his opinion again. After all, Yang Kai’s personality is that he yields to softness but not to hardness. Since others clearly want to house the two of them, in case Yang Kai gets angry and goes berserk, there might be a fight.
Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders： “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I don’t know where to go either.”
Shui Ling couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
The young woman nodded amicably: “Please come this way, you two!”
As she spoke, she led the way in front, and Yang Kai and Shui Ling followed behind her. The other six or seven Divine Movement Realm cultivators were behind Yang Kai and Shui Ling, surrounding them front and back.
Such actions fully demonstrate their caution.
Walking on the swamp, the young woman also deliberately or subconsciously inquired about information from Shui Ling. Shui Ling having nothing to fear, naturally didn’t hide anything.
The more they talked, the more the young woman felt that Shui Ling didn’t seem to be lying.
“By the way, what’s the matter with that Crimson Blood True Orchid you mentioned？” Shui Ling asked casually.
The young woman smiled bitterly again and again, and didn’t avoid it. Immediately, she told what had just happened.
After hearing this, Shui Ling turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai had an innocent expression on his face. He also didn’t know that others were at a critical juncture.
“Once it escapes, it won’t show up for at least half a year, and it is very likely to leave this swamp. It will be difficult to find it again.” The young woman sighed.
“Is the Crimson Blood True Orchid very important to you？”
“It’s not very important to us, but it’s essential for the young master of Langya Blessed Land. We promised to hand over the Scarlet Blood True Orchid to the people of Langya Blessed Land half a month later. Now that we’ve lost this spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, we don’t know how to explain.”
“The young master of Langya Blessed Land, Mu Hui？ Is he injured？” Shui Ling was shocked.
“Does the girl know Young Master Mu？”
“Yes. I know.” Shui Ling nodded.
The young woman’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly laughed, and her attitude became much more amiable: “It seems that the girl is really from the Water God Palace.”
“Of course. Our Water God Palace also has quite a friendship with Langya Blessed Land. Since Mu Hui needs it, I can help you.”
“Huh?” The young woman stopped in her tracks and looked at herfeel uncertain.
“That Scarlet Blood True Orchid has fled into the mud, right？”
“That’s right.”
“Take me to the place where it disappeared. Let me see if I can find it again.”
The group of people from the Duao League looked at Shui Ling was stunned. After a long while, the young woman finally smiled bitterly and shook her head: “Girl, we appreciate your kindness, but the bottom of this swamp is full of mud and water, thousands of feet deep. Even a master who is proficient in the power of water cannot find it. I know that the people in your Water God Palace all majored in water-based skills and martial arts, but…
“I’m not only proficient in the power of water.” Shui Ling smiled confidently.
She was originally a water spirit body, a special constitution. In a place with water, she could exert 120% of her strength.
The young woman hesitated for a moment and then suddenly nodded, turning around and walking in another direction. “Then come with me.”
Since things had come to this, she decided to let Shui Ling have a try. It didn’t matter if it was unsuccessful. If it was successful, then the Proud Union could give an explanation to the Langya Blessed Land half a month later.
Soon, the group of people arrived at the place where the Scarlet Blood True Orchid had fled before. On that marshland, Yang Kai felt the aura of some restrictions and traps. Immediately, he understood that these people should not be lying. They really were capturing the Scarlet Blood True Orchid, but in the end, they fell short at the last moment.
“This is the place.” The young woman pointed at the marsh in front of them and said.
Yang Kai slightly released his spiritual sense and probed underground in the vicinity, but didn’t find much.
“I’ll go down and take a look.” Shui Ling said, and with a sway of her body, she drilled into the muddy marsh and disappeared.
The young woman and the group of Proud Union people looked at Yang Kai and didn’t pay much attention to him. They just waited anxiously.
About the time it took to burn an incense stick, suddenly bubbles appeared in the marsh in front of them. The crowd’s spirits were lifted, and they secretly looked forward to it.
Hua…
Shui Ling rushed out of the marsh. Her clothes were not wet, but her face was pale, her lips were dark blue, and she was constantly shivering with cold, looking as if she had been frozen severely.
The group of Proud Union people immediately looked at her.
Shui Ling shook her head.
Those people suddenly showed disappointed expressions.
“What happened to you？” Yang Kai clicked his tongue in wonder. He found that Shui Ling seemed to have just come out of an iceberg that had never melted since ancient times. She was so cold that she couldn’t bear it, and even wisps of visible cold air were rising from her delicate body.
“I’ll talk about it later.” Shui Ling quickly circulated her cultivation method to drive away the cold in her body.
After a long while, Shui Ling finally recovered. She took a light breath, stood up and said, “Although I wasn’t able to bring it back, I found it.”
“Found it？” The young woman’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.
“Yes, but I alone have no way to take it.”
“Why？” The young woman asked eagerly.
“Because there is a layer of Ice Flame Star Sand below.”
“Ice Flame Star Sand？” The people of the Solitary Proud Alliance exclaimed, and a greedy look appeared on everyone’s face.
“What is that？” Yang Kai observed their expressions and immediately knew that this Ice Flame Star Sand should be a very precious treasure.
“It’s a top-grade spiritual-level material for refining weapons. The temperature is extremely low. It’s a treasure that many Transcendent Realm powerhouses dream of, and even Saint Realm experts will need it when refining secret treasures. “Shui Ling explained faintly.
The expressions of the people in the Solitary Proud Alliance became excited.
“So it’s Ice Flame Star Sand.” The young woman nodded repeatedly. “Although I knew that there must be some treasures in the place where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects grow, I didn’t expect it to be this.”
“It should be the Ice Flame Star Sand that has contributed to the birth of the Scarlet Blood True Orchid.” Shui Ling smiled upon hearing this. “However, the ice layer below is very thick, and I have no way to break it.”
“Let me help you!” Immediately, a chubby man walked out from the Du Ao League. The man walked up to Shui Ling, spread out his hand, and a ball of scorching flame appeared in his hand. He said proudly, “I cultivate the power of the Fire Element, which happens to be the Nemesis of ice.
Shui Ling shook her head： “You won’t do. Your strength is too low.”
“I’m at the 8th Layer of the Divine Movement Realm!” The man was suddenly a bit resentful.
Shui Ling still shook her head： “I have a helper and don’t need you. Yang Kai, come down with me. I’m afraid only you can break that ice layer！”
The man glanced sideways at Yang Kai and was suddenly somewhat infuriated: “If I can’t do it, how can he, a 7th Layer Divine Movement Realm cultivator, do it?”
“I said he can, and he naturally can. Do you still want the Scarlet Blood True Orchid？ I’m helping you for free now.”
The man fell silent at once.
The young woman also quickly accompanied with a smile: “Don’t be angry, girl. Let’s do as you say.
Although the Ice Flame Star Sand is precious, the Du Ao League now most needs the Scarlet Blood True Orchid. Naturally, the young woman is unwilling to make Shui Ling unhappy.
Shui Ling nodded and pulled Yang Kai to disappear into the swamp again.
After they disappeared, Ji Hong, the bearded man in the Proud Alliance, suddenly came back to his senses and slapped his thigh, saying, “Oh no, miss, could these two people be taking the opportunity to escape？”
Upon hearing this, the young woman couldn’t help but look a bit pale with fright, and suddenly felt that this was really possible.
There is no reason for others to help oneself for no reason. Facing the temptation of a spiritual object between heaven and earth and a top-grade spiritual-level material, maybe after obtaining those two things, they really will never return.
“It shouldn’t be like that.” The young woman was also dumbfounded.
“Then why did she only want that man to help her? This is clearly an opportunity to meet up and facilitate leaving after getting the baby successfully.
What was said was quite reasonable, and the people in the Proud Alliance suddenly became filled with indignation and cursed loudly one by one.
The young woman’s face became uglier and uglier. She had the heart to chase after and see what was going on, but it was a rather dangerous thing for a master who didn’t cultivate the power of the water system to move at the bottom of the swamp.
With the spiritual sense spread out, no breath could be detected either.
The young woman’s heart suddenly cooled down a lot.
