343. Arrival in Great Chang

Across the vast ocean, Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin walked upon the waters. By now, Shen Lianxin had developed a saber momentum and had also condensed an Energy Flower. In fact, he was not far from forming a Qi Flower. This was, of course, with Lin Fei's assistance. While Lin Fei couldn't assist in other matters, helping Shen Lianxin form his Energy Flower and Qi Flower posed no problem, requiring just a consumption of resources. Given Lin Fei's current stature, such resources were trivial. Thus, even if Shen Lianxin was only a Martial Saint, walking across the sea alongside Lin Fei was not a big deal.

The duo had journeyed over the ocean for a long time, and according to their maritime chart, they weren't far from Great Chang.

Suddenly, an exotic beast roared, lunging out of the water with its gaping jaws aiming for Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin. But in the next moment, the beast crashed heavily back into the sea, its massive body immobilized, crushed into pieces.

Lin Fei used his Gravity Domain. How could a mere foundational-tier exotic beast counter Lin Fei's divine ability? Throughout their journey, countless such beasts had been slain by Lin Fei, seemingly endless in numbers.

"We're here!" Shen Lianxin exclaimed.

Lin Fei also noticed. Far ahead, there was a long coastline. Great Chang! They had finally returned to Great Chang. But as they set foot on land, they found it eerily deserted.

"Dead. Everyone here is dead!" Lin Fei instantly recognized that many people had once lived here, but now all were gone. Even the bloodstains on the ground hadn't dried yet.

"We don't need to investigate what happened," Lin Fei said calmly. "We'll go directly to the Nine Profound Sect. Everything will become clear." He had a vague suspicion that this had something to do with the Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons from the Ancient Continent. They would understand everything once they reached the Nine Profound Sect.

With a swift motion, the two transformed into a beam of light, flying toward the Nine Profound Sect.

...

"This is the place, right? The Nine Profound Sect," a voice outside the sect's gate spoke. "The kingdom called Great Chang has honored the Nine Profound Sect's Martial Saint as the National Guardian Martial Saint, arguably the premier Martial Saint of this continent."

As for fighting to the death? The head of the Nine Profound Sect had not thought about it. Currently, in Great Chang, there is only one Martial Saint. That was Sword Saint Liu Yibai. However, Liu Yibai's Hidden Sword Sect had been destroyed. It couldn't withstand a casual blow from a Martial Sovereign.

The gap was unimaginable. The Martial Sovereign in front of them wasn't just talking big. The Nine Profound Sect could be destroyed by them at any moment.

So, the head of the Nine Profound Sect had to say, "Seniors, Martial Saint Lin has gone out to sea to seek the Dao. He is not in the Nine Profound Sect right now."

"Hmm? Gone out to sea to seek the Dao?"

"A mere Martial Saint dares to go out to sea?"

"Isn't he afraid of being buried in the ocean?"

The three Martial Sovereigns were a bit surprised. They had crossed the sea and knew how dangerous it was in the sea. For a Martial Saint to cross the sea, how lucky would one have to be not to be eaten by a sea beast? Even a Martial Sovereign could be swallowed by a sea beast. Let alone a Martial Saint?

However, the three Martial Sovereigns were more interested in the treasure than Lin Fei. So, one of the Martial Sovereigns continued, "Whether Lin Fei is here or not. Tell us, how much do you know about the treasure of Great Chang?"

"The treasure of Great Chang?"

The head of the Nine Profound Sect felt a chill in his heart. Recently, those who came across the sea seemed to be looking for something. It seemed to be a treasure. But what kind of treasure could Great Chang have? The Nine Profound Sect had been established for quite some time. There was not even a hint of news about the treasure.

Suddenly, a cold voice emanated from the void, "Are you looking for me?"
