Chapter 259 Following into the Sea
When Chen Yang saw that it was Li Yalan who came out, he was filled with questions!
He simply couldn't understand how this matter could be related to Li Yalan.
The beautiful and kind school beauty is actually the goddess of the Ascension Cult? What on earth is going on?
The woman in black waved her hand and addressed the surrounding people, "Now pick those fruits! Be careful, these are gifts to be offered to the Holy Demon Lord. If you damage them, you will all pay with your lives!"
The men in black around them immediately agreed and walked toward the corpses.
The corpses of those Golden Body Realm cultivators were covered with vines, and high up on the vines, clusters of blood-red fruits were growing, filled with pure blood energy and spiritual power!
Those were formed after the spores grew, absorbing the cultivator's blood, energy, and spirit.
The group carefully picked the blood-red fruits one by one.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward to the woman in black, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "High Priest Gao Miao, it seems our operation can no longer continue!"
The woman in black looked at the middle-aged man, frowning, and asked, "What's going on?"
The middle-aged man immediately cupped his hands and said, "High Priest, there are only about ten thousand Golden Core Realm cultivators in our capital! Excluding those from our Prime Minister's residence, the royal family, the Sword Dao Pavilion, and the major first-class families and academies, there are at most 3000 Golden Core Realm cultivators from commoner backgrounds without power!"
"We've already harvested over 2000, and the royal family has begun their investigation! I've heard that spies from the Eastern Depot have infiltrated the Ascension Cult to investigate the cause of this. We must be careful! If the emperor and his men discover something amiss and surround this place, it will be a real problem!"
Gao Miao merely smiled coldly and said, "Still want to investigate the reason? No matter who it is, coming here will only turn them into nourishment! However, the food prepared for Lord Saint Demon this time is already enough. More importantly, we have found Her Highness the Goddess! Tonight, we will leave with Her Highness the Goddess!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "No problem, High Priest! I'll immediately order people to prepare a boat, and we'll send you aboard tonight!"
"However, High Priest, as agreed, our Prime Minister's Mansion has provided you with so many conveniences, obtaining the flesh and blood of over 2000 Golden Body Realm cultivators. So, when will your esteemed country be able to help our Prime Minister's Mansion destroy the royal family?"
Gao Miao simply smiled and said, "Simple! I'll go back and supply this food to Lord Saint Demon. If Lord Saint Demon is pleased, he can cross the sea to come! With Lord Saint Demon's strength, wiping out the small Zhu family will be a piece of cake! Just wait for the good news!"
The middle-aged man immediately bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
Gao Miao continued, "Furthermore, I am overjoyed to have found Her Highness the Goddess who had been separated from us! Our Eastern Island Kingdom will certainly remember the great contribution of your Prime Minister's Office! I will recommend Her Highness the Goddess to become both the Prime Minister and the Goddess of our Eastern Island Kingdom! As for Her Highness's family, your Prime Minister's Office must take good care of them. When the Goddess returns in the future, your Prime Minister's Office will also have performed a great service!"
The officials in the Prime Minister's office quickly nodded in agreement.
Soon, everyone finished picking all the fruit, and the middle-aged man immediately escorted Li Yalan, Gao Miao, and the others away from the cave.
Chen Yang, who was listening from above the rocks, was completely bewildered!
He didn't know how Li Yalan had become a goddess from the Eastern Island Kingdom who had been living abroad.
What's going on? Could it be that Li Weikai was too much of a womanizer when he was young and had an extramarital affair with a woman from Japan?
Furthermore, the Prime Minister's residence truly deserves to die!
It turns out they actually colluded with the Eastern Island Kingdom to harm their own country's Golden Body Realm cultivators! You must know that Golden Body Realm cultivators are already the top combat force in the Great Ming Dynasty, and they actually sacrificed more than 2000 Golden Body Realm cultivators to supply that damned High Priest of the Eastern Island Kingdom. They are truly spineless cowards who grovel and bow down!
Chen Yang did not rush to make a move. He flashed and followed behind Gao Miao and the others.
Anyway, Li Yalan isn't in any danger right now. I'll find an opportunity to talk to her alone and see what's going on.
In the evening.
Xinghai City, the dock.
A gigantic wooden ship slowly set sail!
On the wooden boat, apart from a few hundred sailors sent by the Prime Minister's mansion, the rest were Gao Miao and his subordinates.
As for Li Yalan, she was assigned to the highest-class room on the third floor of the entire wooden ship.
Chen Yang, dressed in a sailor's uniform, stood idly on the ship's side, wondering to himself, "What exactly is this Eastern Island nation?"
They were spotted in the Great Manchu Kingdom last time, and we even obtained the incredibly powerful Golden Silk Thousand-Seal Net from them! This time, they're connected to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and judging from the Prime Minister's Mansion's attitude towards them, this Eastern Island Kingdom seems to be quite powerful!
What exactly is this "Holy Demon" they're talking about? How could it possibly destroy the royal family?
Based on what I had heard before, Dongdao Country was just a small island in the sea. Although it had a large population, it was still just an island, a tiny place with little spiritual energy. I never expected that this tiny, worthless country would dare to act so arrogantly!
The night grew deeper, and the large ship rocked on the sea.
The wind and waves are fierce here, and there is a risk of the boat capsizing and falling into the water if one is not careful. And this is the calmest part of the entire sea!
It is said that in the middle section of the Sea of Death, the wind and waves are even fiercer, sea monsters roam freely, and there are countless undercurrents, rifts, and spatial turbulence, making it impossible to cross!
This is why this place cannot be connected to Zhongzhou.
Chen Yang slightly stretched out his body, stepped on the ship's side, and jumped directly to the highest point of the cabin.
In the room at the top, Li Yalan sat blankly by the window, her beautiful eyes devoid of any light, like a puppet.
Chen Yang pushed open the window and went inside. He stood opposite Li Yalan and asked, "Lanlan, what's wrong?"
Li Yalan raised her head and looked at Chen Yang. Her pupils began to focus, but there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Seeing Li Yalan's condition, Chen Yang frowned and said, "Are you poisoned?"
Li Yalan looked pained, as if her mind was struggling.
Chen Yang stepped forward and took Li Yalan's hand!
The moment Li Yalan's hand touched Chen Yang, her body trembled violently, and then her eyes instantly became clear!
She jumped up, looking at Chen Yang in disbelief, then at her surroundings. Li Yalan whispered, "Chen Yang? Chen Yang, it really is you!"
Seeing that Li Yalan had regained her memory, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He said speechlessly, "What exactly happened? How did you become the goddess of the Eastern Island? Was your father too promiscuous when he was young, and got that female prime minister pregnant?"
