As this voice rang out, a figure flew directly from the carriage and stood in the void.
This figure was none other than the brocade-clad young man with narrow eyes that Ye Chen had previously sensed with his divine consciousness!
Hearing this young man say he wanted to commandeer the ferry, many people's faces changed.
This ferry only came once a day—if this young man monopolized it, they would have to wait an extra day!
"Young master, the ferry can seat five hundred people at once. There's room for all of us here—perhaps you could ..." a late-stage Spirit Sea martial artist couldn't help but speak up to the young man.
Boom!
Before the late-stage Spirit Sea martial artist could finish speaking, the brocade-clad young man standing in the void pointed in the air, and instantly, the martial artist was blasted backward, flying back and finally hitting a large tree by the ferry dock with a bang and spewing a mouthful of blood.
"I already said that I've commandeered this boat. What, did you not hear me clearly?" the young man coldly glanced at the Spirit Sea martial artist who had been hit and spat blood, then he swept up the carriage and the flying horses into a special bag with a wave of his hand. With a step in the void, he moved toward the ferry.
As the young man advanced, everyone still on the way to the ferry was tossed about by his power, and even two martial artists who had already run onto the ferry were grabbed by the young man with one move, pulled up from the ferry, and thrown onto the ground.
It seemed that this young man truly did not care at all about everyone else; he really intended to dominate the ferry for himself.
Dominating!
It was utterly dominating!
Clearly of no ordinary birth and with great strength, the young man simply ignored all the others waiting for the ferry at the dock.
"So unlucky! Too unlucky!"
"I thought we could get on the ferry directly since there were fewer people today, but we ended up encountering such a domineering powerhouse!"
"One person monopolizing an entire ferry, what a waste!"
Shi Tianhe, one of the Shi Family's three brothers, muttered in frustration, though he kept his voice very low, fearing the young man might overhear.
Shi Tianjiang and Shi Tianhai were also looking dejectedly at the young man heading for the ferry, their eyes filled with helplessness.
All three brothers were late-stage Spirit Sea realm martial artists, but the young man was clearly of the Rotating Pill realm. Seeing that not even two early-stage Rotating Pill martial artists dared to speak up in front of this young man, it was evident he was at least at the mid-stage Rotating Pill level.
Such beings were naturally not to be trifled with by the Shi Family's three brothers.
"Ye Chen, let's wait for the next ferry," the three brothers consoled Ye Chen beside them, "We've heard of such domineering powerhouses before, but never imagined we'd be so unlucky as to meet one today. Alas, the Barbaric Wilderness Continent respects the strong; there's nothing we can do." "It's okay, we'll just wait another two or three days at most.
I don't believe someone can commandeer the ferry indefinitely."
In the eyes of the three brothers, Ye Chen, being at the early-stage Spirit Sea realm and his first time traveling to the Central Region, might be terrified by this situation, so they offered words of comfort.
At that moment, they heard Ye Chen calmly say: "Strength is revered, you say? Just mid-stage Rotating Pill, that doesn't count as truly powerful."
Ye Chen's voice was low, and the three brothers hadn't heard him clearly yet. They were about to ask Ye Chen what he had said when they suddenly heard an uproar.
Looking up, their eyes nearly popped out.
In the sky, the previously domineering brocade-clad young man, now at his feet out of nowhere, had black True Qi appearing one strand after another.
This black True Qi, like ropes, tightly bound the young man's legs in the void.
The Shi Family's three brothers saw that the brocade-clad young man, initially dismissive when he saw the black True Qi, triggered a vast surge of his own True Qi to break free from the binding black True Qi.
But instead, the black True Qi wound tighter and tighter, and in the end, the brocade-clad young man couldn't even struggle, his legs completely immobilized by the strands of black True Qi.
After an instant of dead silence, the crowd burst into an uproarious cheer, "That damned youth is trapped! We can board the ferry now. At last, we can take the ferry to the Central Region!"

Immediately, the crowd surged frantically towards the ferry.
In the throng, someone shouted loudly, "I don't know which senior has lent a helping hand. The senior may not wish to come forward, but we must all thank them!"
"Thank you, senior!"
The shouts from the crowd echoed far and wide!
"Incredible!" The three Shi brothers also pulled Ye Chen with them, moving towards the ferry. In the midst of the surge, upon seeing the youth completely shrouded in black energy and invisible in the sky, Shi Tianhe gasped in admiration.
Shi Tianjiang and Shi Tianhai even joined the crowd, shouting, "Thank you, senior!"
This made Ye Chen beside them somewhat bemused.
If the three knew it was him who had acted, they probably wouldn't dare to be so familiar with him anymore.
Without the domineering person monopolizing the ferry, within moments, the two or three hundred people at the dock had all crowded onto the ship.
"Is this the ferry?"
Ye Chen stood with the three Shi brothers in a corner of the ferry. When he saw that the ferry seemed ordinary with no traces of True Qi fluctuations and yet could carry so many people across the Boundary River, Ye Chen was also amazed.
Once everyone was on board, the evening glow rose slowly. The ferry left the shore of the Southern Territory and drifted slowly toward the riverfront of the Central Region on the opposite side of the river.
At the seventy-third ferry crossing, only the figure enveloped by black energy was left, completely immobilized in the void!
Just as the ferry reached the center of the Boundary River, and the ferry was completely out of sight from the dock, a sudden coquettish voice came from atop a large tree by the now deserted seventy-third crossing, "Not bad, quite formidable indeed.
To be in the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, at fifteen years of bone age, yet capable of trapping a mid Rotating Pill Realm individual with a flick of the wrist."
As the voice echoed, looking towards the tree revealed that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in white had appeared at some point on the tree.
The girl was sitting on the tree, swinging her long legs idly. Looking up along her legs, one could see a stunning curve over her slender, attractive waist. Higher up was her full, seductive chest, delicate collarbones, and an elegant, swan-like neck, snow-white and graceful.
On her exquisitely beautiful face, a pair of vivacious eyes sparkled with a sly look. She seemed to be an intelligent and beautiful young girl.
In the arms of the girl in white, there was also a snow-white little marten, which was soundly asleep in her embrace.
While speaking, the fair hand holding the little marten beckoned lightly towards the black energy that enshrouded the youth on the other side. A strand of black energy instantly flew into her fingertips.
After toying with the strand of black energy, a smile spread across the girl's face, "Even the True Qi is of a type I've never seen before!"
"How interesting, truly interesting! I didn't expect that in my trip from Great Xia, having seen no interesting individuals in Great Qian or the Southern Territory, I would encounter such a formidable young man in such a remote place on my way back!"
"Fifteen years old, yet stronger than someone in the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm. It seems Grandpa was right after all; there really are people similar to me in this world."
As she spoke, the girl carrying the little marten leaped down from the tree and stood in the void. Standing up, her legs seemed even more slender and straight, her delicate body's curves more charming and enchanting.
"Hehe, let's follow and see," said the girl, carrying the little marten and lightly jumping from the tree into the void, then stepping toward the Boundary River.
By that time, there was no ferry on the Boundary River, but the girl showed no intention of stopping.
In the end, the girl walked on air, actually stepping into the airspace of the Boundary River!
The Boundary River, which could not be flown across by anyone below the Heavenly Saint Realm and whose restraining laws could devour even the power of a late Rotating Pill expert and even the Heavenly Saint power of Ye Chen, seemed to have no effect on the girl!
Furthermore, as she walked above the Boundary River, a mysterious moisture began to envelop her delicate figure, almost as if protecting her, making the girl seem even more like a celestial being amidst the billowing waves.
