It seems Xing Wu's actions in the Void Abyss have caused quite a stir, reaching even the Heavenly Domain.
He also understood something then: the intelligence he had paid a hefty sum for was somewhat of a rip-off.
Given the current situation, practically everyone would soon know about the treasures in the Void Abyss. He would definitely have to have a good talk with Lord Hai Yue City in the future.
Regarding Zhao Wang Sheng's suggestion, Ye Yun said with a faint smile.
"As for treasures, we'll see when the time comes. If there's an opportunity, I'll naturally try to contend for them."
In reality, Ye Yun couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated. What was there to snatch from his own wife's belongings?
However, judging by the situation, he might even have to help Xing Wu snatch them.
Zhao Wang Sheng was unaware of his relationship with Xing Wu and didn't think much of it. He simply nodded and said with a smile.
"That's great. We'll be crossing the Void Sea together, so we can look out for each other."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and then reminded him.
"To be honest, crossing the sea this time carries considerable risk. Elder Ye had best make preparations in advance."
"Hm? What risk?"
Upon mentioning this, Zhao Wang Sheng's expression turned somber, and he slowly explained.
"I've heard that in the past two months, several groups attempting to cross the sea have almost entirely vanished within the Void Sea."
"Uh, that's… unsettling?"
"Isn't it? Even the only survivor was somewhat mentally deranged."
"Oh? Deranged how?"
"Reportedly, he kept muttering about beauties, beauties, with a blissful expression on his face, and couldn't be roused no matter how hard they tried."
Zhao Wang Sheng sighed helplessly and said.
"Physicians who examined him claimed his soul was injured, his three souls and seven spirits on the verge of shattering. He's basically just waiting to die."
Unlike the destruction of the physical body, the shattering of all three souls and seven spirits was something even the gods in the Heavenly Domain couldn't save.
Ye Yun frowned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected such a development.
Beside him, his disciples looked frightened. Fang Zhi Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Is it that terrifying? Could there be ghosts?"
"..."
Ye Yun shot her a look and said.
"If it were really ghosts, that would be for the best. Specters are nothing to be afraid of."
Zhao Wang Sheng agreed and sighed.
"Indeed. Some say they might have encountered the Sirens from ancient myths. They drift within the white mist, softly singing enchanting melodies."
"Anyone who hears their voices becomes lost in a trance, unable to break free, until their three souls and seven spirits are devoured by the Sirens..."
Frankly, Ye Yun found the latter explanation even more ridiculous.
After all, legends were mostly fabricated rumors...
Ye Yun shook his head and said, "Regardless, I hope this journey goes smoothly and we don't encounter any trouble."
He just wanted to reach the Void Abyss quickly, find his wife Xing Wu, and Gu Xiao Yue.
Zhao Wang Sheng also sighed and said.
"Yes, I hope we don't encounter trouble. I haven't lived enough yet."
If it weren't for Xing Wu's treasure, he might not have risked so much to go to the Void Abyss at this time.
After speaking, Zhao Wang Sheng suddenly smiled and looked at Ye Yun, asking.
"By the way, could I ask Elder Ye about something?"
"Just say it."
Zhao Wang Sheng glanced around subtly before leaning in and asking.
"Between you and Elder Xu, are you guys... you know?"
As he spoke, he chuckled, displaying a knowing grin.
Lin Xue Yan and the others also looked over.
Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say.
"What kind of weird question is that?"
"Hey, I'm just curious!"
Zhao Wang Sheng acted as if it were natural and sighed.
"Elder Ye might not know this, but after Elder Xu returned, she approached the Great Emperor and issued a command to the entire Hong Chen Mountain."
"Any disciple or elder who encounters you outside must treat you with respect. Anyone who becomes your enemy will be directly expelled from Hong Chen Mountain."
"Having been an elder for so many years, I've never seen Elder Xu issue such a firm command."
"Honestly, have you two already... done that?"
Zhao Wang Sheng became more animated as he spoke, his gossipy fervor burning brightly.
Ye Yun couldn't help but smile wryly and explain, "You've misunderstood. Nothing has happened between us."
"Although I did help her complete her cultivation, it wasn't in the way you're thinking..."
Hearing this, Zhao Wang Sheng paused.
Then, he raised an eyebrow and said with interest.
"Not that way? Then is it the other way?"
"Exactly, aren't there two ways?"
"There are two ways. Then I know which one it is."
"So, do you understand now?"
The two of them conversed like cryptic riddles, engaging in an encrypted conversation.
Lin Xue Yan and the others were utterly bewildered. What was "this way," "two ways," and "that way"?
As for Zhao Wang Sheng, being a True Immortal Elder of Hong Chen Mountain, he was well-versed in dual cultivation methods and naturally understood what Ye Yun was implying.
Following this, he looked regretful and said.
"What a shame. I thought you two were using that particular cultivation method. But this is also quite good."
He then chuckled and asked with curiosity.
"How was it? Is Elder Xu's figure perfect?"
"That would be..."
Ye Yun's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes.
"I suggest you ask her directly."
"Ahem... perhaps not."
Zhao Wang Sheng was clearly wary of Xu Bing Lan and immediately backed down.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun's disciples wore suspicious expressions.
What was going on? Why was Xu Bing Lan's figure being brought up? Didn't they say nothing happened?
After Zhao Wang Sheng and Ye Yun finished their man-to-man talk.
He pointed to the side and said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, since you're heading to the Void Abyss, have you prepared a flying ship?"
"If you don't mind, why not come with us? This flying ship is brand new, and it's quite luxurious inside. Would you like to experience it?"
He was quite polite and enthusiastically invited Ye Yun.
However, Ye Yun glanced at it and politely declined.
"There's no need for that. I've also prepared an excellent flying ship. Crossing the sea should be manageable."
Although traveling with Hong Chen Mountain would be more discreet and safer here, now that he knew the Void Sea was fraught with peril, it was better to choose the more secure Shen He flying ship.
If they encountered danger, they would have a greater chance of survival.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wang Sheng raised an eyebrow and said.
"Elder Ye, don't say I didn't warn you. The quality of a flying ship on the Void Sea is a matter of life and death."
"It's best to choose a more powerful flying ship for greater safety."
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and said.
"Don't worry, I don't think my flying ship will be much of a concern in terms of safety."
As his words fell, he said softly to a clear space in front of him while everyone watched in surprise.
"Come out!"
