On the other side, in the far west.
Four mud-covered figures crawled out of a cave.
Fang Ping, panting heavily, said angrily, "A mere eighth-grade demon beast dares to chase me! It's only because Old Lu isn't here that I'd have to taste whether an eighth-grade demon beast is any good."
"Alright, stop talking tough. We're already lucky to have escaped from an eighth-grade demon beast," Wang Jinyang said speechlessly.
"Old Wang, I think we shouldn't go out with Fang Ping next time. Every time we go out with him, we end up being chased by high-ranking officials and having to dig tunnels in the ground to escape."
Qin Fengqing complained.
Li Hansong, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement. It was truly a miserable situation; they had been constantly being chased.
Fang Ping scoffed and said, "Hmph, what are you talking about? What do you mean that coming out means we'll be hunted down? We're not strong enough, otherwise why would we be being hunted down? We might even be able to turn the tables and kill them."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We're not far from the Forbidden Sea now, shall we continue?"
Wang Jinyang said with some helplessness, he was even starting to think about giving up. After all, from the small town at the beginning, to Rose City, and now to the far north, the next step was to go to the Boundary Land. The journey had been extremely difficult, and going back would be even more challenging—
Moreover, Wang Jinyang always felt that Fang Ping had more reason to take risks by taking advantage of the search for someone. Without the excuse of seeking a master, Fang Ping might not have done these things.
Wang Jinyang subconsciously touched his storage ring, which contained the spiritual energy split entity given to him by Lu Hao. It should be able to ensure their safety. Although he didn't know how Lu Hao had managed to do it at the ninth rank, the fact that he had entrusted it to him meant that it could definitely save their lives in dangerous situations.
"Of course we have to keep going. We've come this far, how can we just give up? Old Wang, your teacher is still waiting for you, and we have the Rose King leading the way. He'll take care of any difficulties we encounter."
Fang Ping said affirmatively.
"It all depends on you this time. Are you sure your method of concealing your presence will work? Otherwise, we definitely won't be able to get through the Forbidden Sea."
"Don't worry, it's safe. After all, I can't risk my life. We can't lose them. We'll try to ambush them when we cross the Forbidden Sea later," Fang Ping said, standing up.
"Fang Ping, don't do anything reckless. The Forbidden Sea is the number one forbidden area. If you act recklessly, even if someone is hiding their presence, we might not be able to get through."
Wang Jinyang's expression changed as he spoke.
"Fang Ping, we really can't mess around in the Forbidden Sea. I heard Lu Hao say before that even the tributaries might have ninth-grade sea beasts, or even supreme-grade sea beasts. If we really provoke them, we definitely won't survive." Qin Fengqing quickly advised. He had heard Lu Hao describe how terrifying the Forbidden Sea was. He liked to court death, but he didn't want to actually die.
"Don't worry, I meant if there's a chance. I won't do anything reckless. After all, I don't want to die young. You all know me; I'm very afraid of dying."
"You'd better know your place," Wang Jinyang warned.
Soon the four of them took to the air and headed towards the far north again.
Just as they were about to leave the far north, the four encountered the corpse of a seventh-grade demon beast.
"Hahaha, our luck has turned around! This must have been killed by the Rose King, but he didn't have any storage equipment, so he couldn't take it with him."
Fang Ping looked at the corpse excitedly, after all, it had a complete heart core and brain core, which could be used to forge a divine weapon of his own, which was much stronger than those fully formed divine weapons.
Fang Ping put the corpse away, since Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang's storage rings didn't have that much space.
"We've really hit the jackpot this time. The Rose King can't take it, but we might be able to. Who knows, we might even find more things along the way. Maybe we can even follow Minister Zhang's example and find the corpse of a ninth-grade demon plant back then..."
Fang Ping said excitedly as he hurried along.
"You're overthinking it. The Rose King himself is only a ninth-rank official, so it's practically impossible for him to kill someone of the ninth rank. And even if he could kill them, he wouldn't leave them alive."
Wang Jinyang poured cold water on the road.
"Hmph, you won't even let me think about it? Ninth rank is impossible, but eighth rank is certainly possible. After all, the Rose King went to the Realm of Boundaries to try his luck at the pinnacle of opportunity. That was tantamount to betrayal, so he definitely won't be going back. Therefore, even eighth rank wouldn't stop him—."
As they were talking, Fang Ping was pulled by Wang Jinyang and the four of them stopped and hid behind a hillside.
Ahead—there is a river that is not very wide, less than a kilometer wide at a glance.
If it were an ordinary river, Fang Ping and his group could cross it in less than a second. However, the pitch-black water and the people standing on the riverbank made them realize that this was the Forbidden Sea.
Flying too high in the forbidden sea is absolutely forbidden; this is the first prohibition of the forbidden sea.
Fang Ping and the others remained silent, all watching the Rose King on the riverbank, observing how it would cross the river.
Just as the group was watching cautiously, the Rose King suddenly picked up a sixth-rank martial artist and hurled him towards the opposite side.
"king!"
Before the sixth-rank martial artist could finish wailing, a tentacle emerged from the forbidden sea, instantly piercing through him and dragging him down.
The Rose King showed no expression and continued walking along the riverbank for a while. After he was out of Fang Ping's sight, another wail was heard. As expected, another sixth-rank soldier was thrown down by the Rose King.
Seeing the Rose King so cautious, Fang Ping felt a little scared. Luckily, he had come with the Rose King so he could learn how to cross the river. Otherwise, he might have ended up being pierced by tentacles as well.
After the Rose King had walked away again, Fang Ping used his mental power to transmit a message to the three of them: "Let's follow them quietly and see how they cross the river."
The other three nodded, after all, they had just seen the Rose King use a sixth-grade martial artist to test the way. The four of them floated slightly in the air and flew in the direction the Rose King was going, afraid that they would make any noise and be noticed by the Rose King. If they did, they would definitely be used as bait by the Rose King to test the forbidden sea.
Soon, the group spotted the Rose King and her entourage. This time, the Rose King had two mid-grade demonic beasts. She threw the beasts into the Forbidden Sea, only to have them swallowed again in the next moment. The Rose King showed no expression and continued walking. After several attempts and dozens of trials, she had walked more than ten miles when she found a suitable spot to drop her demonic beasts. There was no reaction.
Soon, the Rose King decided to cross the river here. An eighth-rank official led the way, several seventh-rank officials followed in the middle, and the Rose King and an eighth-rank official walked at the back as ninth-rank officials. It was not impossible for the Rose King to cross a tributary, but he would definitely lose his subordinates. Therefore, the previous test was also for the safety of his subordinates. After all, he did not know what would happen in the Boundary Land, so he still needed his subordinates.
