Chapter 117 Departure, departure, fat whale
"Brother Ouyang, why do we need to buy so much Red Dragon Grass?"
The only woman among the group of Changhai Palace disciples asked.
"This is the order of the Supreme Being. I am only responsible for executing it."
Ouyang Wen showed a calmness that was completely different from the one he showed in the Red Dragon Sect’s main hall, and shook his head.
"Hey, Brother Ouyang, just tell me."
The woman acted coquettishly towards Ouyang Wen.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ouyang, just tell me. This is not Changhai Palace anyway, and no one will know even if you tell me."
The other Changhai Palace disciples also started to make a noise.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but you must not tell anyone else," Ouyang Wen hesitated for a while and decided to tell them.
"It is said that this red dragon grass contains a trace of dragon blood. Although it is very little, as long as the amount is large, there is hope that a trace of dragon blood power can be extracted."
Ouyang Wen lowered his voice and carefully spoke out this secret which was only known by the Grand Master Tai Shang even in Changhai Palace. He also found out about it by chance because of his close relationship with Tai Shang.
"What, dragon bloodline!"
Several Changhai Palace disciples were shocked. Although they were not strong, they still knew about dragons, which were undoubtedly the top bloodline among the monsters.
For example, the top-grade bloodlines of ancient beasts cannot be compared with the pure dragon bloodline. Just possessing dragon bloodline does not require too high a purity to be able to possess considerable power.
For example, the red-eyed black dragon clan, which ranks among the top five in terms of aptitude among the ancient beasts, is a kind of dragon with impure blood.
But in this era, dragon bloodline does not exist at all. I don’t know if it is because it is too powerful or for some other reason, it has been extinct for many years.
Because of this, some people say that it is incredible to be able to extract dragon blood from a handful of grass. After all, this is the pure power of dragon blood.
"Although the blood of the giant dragon is precious, it should be useless to us humans, right? Could it be that the Supreme is..."
The female disciple widened her eyes, as if she had guessed something.
Ouyang Wen took a glance and said speechlessly: "What are you thinking? Tai Shang is a human, definitely a human."
Ouyang Wen stopped talking, and the other disciples of Changhai Palace were the same. They trusted Ouyang Wen. As the only disciple of Tai Shang, he was the most qualified person to confirm Tai Shang's identity.
Since Ouyang Wen said that Tai Shang is a human, then Tai Shang is definitely a human. This is their absolute trust in Ouyang Wen, which is a bit blind.
But it is also one of the reasons why they were sent to carry out the mission with Ouyang Wen and know the root cause of this mission.
"I'm telling you guys, don't tell anyone, otherwise..."
Suddenly, Ouyang Wen, who was walking in front, stopped, and the female disciple walking behind him bumped into him.
But Ouyang Wen still didn't react at all, staring at the front. Those who were sent here were the best disciples of Changhai Palace, including but not limited to cultivation, wisdom and so on.
So much so that in an instant, they discovered something was wrong. Sure enough, a young man in white was standing dozens of meters in front of Ouyang Wen.
"I don't know who you are and why you are blocking my way."
Ouyang Wen cupped his hands and asked loudly. With the amplification of his true energy, his voice rang very clearly in Chen Fan's ears.
"The order for you to collect the Red Dragon Grass was issued by the Black Water Alliance, right?"
Chen Fan said calmly that he had actually arrived a long time ago and had listened along the way. At this moment, he had roughly analyzed the reason why Changhai Palace collected a large amount of Red Dragon Grass.
In fact, Chen Fan could have left directly, but out of caution, he still showed up and prepared to ask some questions to make sure there was nothing wrong.
Ouyang Wen did not reply. The next moment, the Changhai Palace disciples behind him rushed out one after another and left the place at an extremely fast speed.
As the eldest disciple, Ouyang Wen did not leave, but stood in front of Chen Fan, trying to buy time for his fellow junior brothers and sisters.
"Have some backbone."
Chen Fan couldn't help but applaud. He admired Ouyang Wen's selfless spirit, but unfortunately, his plan was going to fail.
Chen Fan stretched out his hand and grabbed a young man from mid-air, who fell to the ground with a blank expression.
"Is Senior Brother Ouyang running so fast?"
"No, where am I?"
"Fuck, why am I back!"
The same trick was used again, and after a while, the disciples of Changhai Palace gathered here again. However, compared to their previous joy, their expressions were now as ugly as if their mother had died.
"Senior, if you had told us earlier that you were so strong, we wouldn't have run away."
Ouyang Wen said with a bitter look on his face.
"Heh, let me ask you again, is this an order from the Blackwater Alliance?"
"Yes."
Ouyang Wen replied straightforwardly: "To be precise, it was an order issued by a tribe called the Red Whale in the Blackwater Alliance."
"The Red Whale Clan?"
Chen Fan muttered a few words in his heart, but it had no effect at all. It was obvious that he had not heard of it.
But this is normal. The Endless Sea is vast and contains countless races. Chen Fan has not deliberately tried to understand it, so it is normal not to know.
Fortunately, Ouyang Wen seemed to have noticed this and took the initiative to explain: "The Red Whale Clan is a fifth-rank force in the Black Water Alliance. They are very powerful and are said to have dragon blood in their bodies."
Hearing this, Chen Fan's mind suddenly became active. The Blackwater Alliance's fifth-grade force, which also sounded like marine life, might be a good entry point.
The purpose of Chen Fan's trip is the Devouring Island, but where is the Devouring Island? This is a problem worth solving.
After all, as the foundation of the Blackwater Alliance, the existence of the Devouring Island is extremely mysterious, and many people even think it is a legend.
If Chen Fan wants to enter the Devouring Island, he can either rely on luck or float on the Endless Sea. If he is lucky, he can find the Black Water members who are responsible for luring people to the Devouring Island.
Either rely on force, no matter how mysterious the Devouring Island is, it cannot be hidden from the fifth-grade forces in the alliance.
Therefore, as long as you capture someone of high status who knows the location of the Devouring Island, you can enter the Devouring Island through his identity.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is safer and does not attract attention, but it does rely on luck after all.
The latter is more adventurous and involves certain risks, but it has a higher success rate.
Originally, Chen Fan was still considering which method to use. In fact, he was more inclined to the first method. His luck was at its peak and everyone could see it.
Although the true spirit origin has not yet been completely refined and it is impossible to achieve everything you wish for, it is not difficult to increase the probability a little bit.
He may encounter things that ordinary people may hardly encounter in their entire lives.
But now, the second option seemed to have opened the door to him, just waiting for him to step in. In this way, the first option did not seem so attractive.
"By the way, Senior, there is a strong man from the Red Whale Clan visiting Changhai Palace. It is said that he is the elder of the Red Whale Clan."
As soon as these words were spoken, lightning flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. It was not just an expression, but lightning really appeared out of nowhere, jumping and roaring in the void.
In this way, Chen Fan no longer has to consider it, because the last key that restricts the second option has also been delivered to him.
"Where is your Changhai Palace?"
Chen Fan asked, and the next second, he frowned and said to himself: "Really, you won't tell me what to do even if I ask you." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fan's figure disappeared, leaving several Changhai Hall disciples looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Brother Ouyang, what should we do now?"
"What should we do? Send a message back to the sect immediately and tell the Grand Master and the Sect Master about this. I suspect that senior will go to Changhai Palace!"
……
At the port of Tianlong Island, the Dawn was still docked here, but on the deck, Chen Chen, the president of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, was pacing back and forth, with the sound of "da da" footsteps continuing.
Following Chen Fan's instructions, he stayed on the Dawn, but his anxiety did not diminish in the slightest. He even sent his subordinates to gather information, but so far, no news has been sent back.
"It seems you are very anxious, President Chen Chen."
On the side, Chen Fan, who appeared out of nowhere, joked.
"Master Chen, you are back."
Chen Chen was startled, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with surprise in his eyes.
He knew the importance of Chen Fan better than anyone else on the ship. It could be said that if anything happened to Chen Fan, not only him, but his entire family would be liquidated.
But at the same time, Chen Chen also knew that he could not be of any help to Chen Fan, so he could only worry before. Now that he saw Chen Fan return safely, how could he not breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, no more nonsense. Go and discuss the matter of the Red Dragon Grass with the leader of the Red Dragon Sect. I'm very busy right now and have important things to do. Once the discussion is done, you don't have to wait for me and can leave directly."
……
After instructing Chen Chen to continue the transaction, Chen Fan left the Dawn with information about the geographical location of the Changhai Palace.
Five days later...
Chen Fan came to a large island deep in the shallow sea tens of thousands of miles away from Tianlong Island. Changhai Palace was the dominant force on this island.
Without wasting much time, I just asked someone for directions and found the exact location of Changhai Palace without even having to sense anything.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in the blue sky. Chen Fan stood there without trying to conceal himself.
But among the people coming and going below, no one noticed that above their heads stood a top powerful person who could easily destroy them, including the only grandmaster-level powerful person.
"It's a very strong force. In the Nanzhuo region, perhaps only the royal families of the two major countries can suppress it."
Chen Fan did not rush into the sect mindlessly, but spread out his perception. With a soul power comparable to that of a king, many things were visible to him.
"Um…"
Chen Fan suddenly felt a special breath. How to describe it... It was as if an animal had mixed in with a group of plants, and it was a very large animal.
Although it is not very vivid, it is true. In Chen Fan's perception, the qi and blood in one place is incredibly strong, more than ten times stronger than other places.
"This should be the elder of the Red Whale Clan that person mentioned."
Chen Fan's eyes flashed.
Such a strong qi and blood is difficult for humans to cultivate, and even ordinary monsters cannot possess qi and blood of this strength.
Only the sea beasts in the deep sea, which are larger than the monsters of the same level, can have qi and blood that can reach this level.
On this day, in Changhai Palace, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered and covered the sky for a hundred miles. Thunder rumbled, lightning snakes surged in the clouds, and thunder fell from time to time, creating a scene of the end of the world.
A huge hand made of thunder stretched out from the dark clouds and reached towards a certain place in Changhai Palace. It grabbed a giant red-gold whale hundreds of meters long and then disappeared.
The dark clouds soon dissipated, but the scene that seemed like a punishment from heaven remained in the hearts of the disciples of Changhai Palace for a long time.
"Sir, should we chase after them and rescue the envoy?"
"Save, who will save me or you?"
Deep in the Changhai Palace is the only great master-level Taoist priest in the Changhai Palace.
Beside him, the Lord of Changhai Palace sneered.
"Do you think I don't want to take action? The powerful person who took action is not someone that Changhai Palace can contend with."
"You can't do it either."
The Lord of Changhai Palace said in surprise.
"I can't do that. The one who made the move is no longer a Grandmaster."
……
Hundreds of miles away from the island where Changhai Palace is located, there is a remote and sparsely populated island.
Chen Fan threw the huge red whale to the ground.
"Boom!"
The island trembled.
"Okay, stop pretending to be dead. You have thick skin and flesh, so you won't die from a fall."
Seeing the red whale lying motionless on the ground, its breath restrained to the extreme, Chen Fan said lightly.
The red whale's powerful blood was about to rush to his face, and he must have had a brain spat to think that the red whale was killing him.
"If you don't get up, I'll turn you into a dead fish."
Seeing that the red whale was still pretending to be dead, lightning burst out from Chen Fan's hands, and powerful energy began to gather.
The red whale, having smelled the scent of death, could no longer pretend. It jumped up with a "bang" and turned into a fat man who looked even fatter than Chen Chen, and looked very... round.
"Hey, wait, wait, wait..."
"Why, don't you continue to play dead?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Damn it, if you didn't really want to grill the whale, I wouldn't be getting up."
Chi Jing cursed in his heart, but said very nicely: "Hehe, senior, you are joking. Just now, I just fell asleep. Thanks to you for waking me up, otherwise I don't know how long I would sleep."
A fat whale with a thick skin.
This was Chen Fan’s first impression. He was talking nonsense and even said this.
But Chen Fan was too lazy to expose it, nor did he have time to argue with it, so he just asked a question.
"Does Fat Whale know where the Devouring Island is?"
Chen Fan pretended to be casual.
"How come you... don't know."
The red whale was startled and was about to blurt out something, but he stopped himself abruptly. However, it was too late.
Chen Fan rubbed his two fingers, and black arcs of lightning were generated from the friction. The next sentence made Chijing even more frightened.
"Since you don't know, it's useless. I'd better give you a ride."
Chen Fan was smiling, but when his words fell into the ears of the red whale, it made its heart cold, because it really heard the murderous intent in Chen Fan's words!
