Chapter 883: Chapter 893: Departure to Lucao Kingdom! (6 Updates)

Tang Zhong stepped onto the water column and stood atop a reef. Only after he was secure did the previously erupted column of water gradually fall back from great heights.

He glanced back at the entrance he had emerged from; it had now completely turned into the open sea.

He had no idea how long he had spent in the depths of the ocean—after all, it was impossible to perceive the passage of time underwater!

Standing on the reef, he suddenly heard voices coming from not far away.

Currently, Tang Zhong, having cultivated Soul Transformation, could extend his soul power to cover a radius of a hundred meters. With a deep yellow stone in hand and with his feet planted on the Soul Stone, the range of his soul perception was now even greater.

"There was an explosion here just now... What on earth caused it?"

"Let’s go check it out. Maybe the explosion stirred up a lot of fish. Even if they’re dead fish, we can take them home to eat. These days, there’s no fish left in the shallow waters. We came all the way to this deep-sea region, and it takes half a day just to get here from the North Sea. If we return empty-handed, all our suffering will have been for nothing!"

Their conversation drifted into Tang Zhong’s ears, and without question, the speakers were fishermen—North Sea fishermen, specifically.

Weren’t Old Ninth and Little Nine from the North Sea as well?

How were they doing now?

That day, when they leaped from the ship, if everything went smoothly, they should have returned to the North Sea village by now, shouldn’t they?

To be sure, Tang Zhong decided to ask these two fishermen.

Without delay, he strode across the water. After advancing a hundred meters in the direction of the voices, he spotted two fishing boats bobbing on the surface of the sea.

Onboard were two fishermen.

"Are you two from the North Sea village?"

The two fishermen were just about to set off again when they heard a voice. They had no idea where it came from, as Tang Zhong was hovering above the water.

They heard the voice but couldn’t see its source, which terrified them into trembling on the spot.

"Who—who’s talking?"

One immediately grabbed the harpoon on the boat, frantically sweeping around with it.

"No need to be scared—it’s just me!" Tang Zhong leapt onto one of the fishing boats.

The fishermen were still frightened, but seeing that Tang Zhong was merely a young man, one of them pointed the harpoon at him. "Who... who are you? I’m warning you, we’re from the North Sea village, under the protection of Xuan Country. If you Lucao Kingdom folks dare try anything, just see what happens!"

Though the words sounded tough, the fisherman was quaking uncontrollably.

"I’m not from Lucao Kingdom. I’m from Xuan Country!" Tang Zhong declared.

"You’re from Xuan Country?" The fisherman froze, clearly doubtful. Once fully convinced that Tang Zhong was indeed from Xuan Country, he immediately lowered his harpoon. "Thank goodness! I thought you were one of those Lucao or Bei Country people—it nearly scared me to death!"

Tang Zhong caught the meaning behind the man’s words, his eyes narrowing. "Uncle, what happened? Why do you hate Lucao Kingdom so much?"

The man put down his harpoon, picked up a flask of wine, took a swig, and wiped his mouth. Upon hearing Tang Zhong’s question, he cursed aloud, "How could we not hate them? Those bastards aren’t human! They’ve seized the fishing waters outside our village, refusing to let us fish there. They’re cutting off our livelihood!"

"What?" Tang Zhong frowned deeply.

"How dare Lucao Kingdom encroach upon your North Sea village?" Tang Zhong pressed.

"They’re looking for someone. They even left behind a portrait, saying that if anyone in the village saw this person, they were to report to them immediately. Damn Bei Country scum, like hell we’d help them!" the fisherman spat with venom.

Tang Zhong understood: the Lucao Kingdom was causing trouble in North Sea village, bullying his Xuan Country as if no one could stand in their way.

It reminded him of the question he wanted to ask: "By the way, do you know Little Nine from your North Sea village?"

"Damn it, of course we know her! That poor little girl lost her mother when she was just a child. She and her grandfather... who knows what they did to deserve this, but they were taken away by that damned Witch Cult!" the fisherman said through gritted teeth.

"What?" Tang Zhong’s brow furrowed again.

Meanwhile, the other fisherman, who had remained quiet all this time, was staring at Tang Zhong intently. As he sized him up, his eyes widened in shock, and he suddenly pointed at Tang Zhong. "You... aren’t you the person Lucao Kingdom is looking for?"

Once one fisherman recognized him, the other quickly pieced it together.

"It’s you..."

"You need to leave! You’re a wanted man—don’t fall into the hands of those Bei Country scoundrels from Lucao Kingdom!"

Tang Zhong was moved by their words. Despite the bounty on his head, these simple fishermen were still so kind-hearted.

Recalling the atrocities committed by Lucao Kingdom, Tang Zhong’s anger boiled over. If that was the case, then it was time to settle old scores with new grievances together.

The Silver Protector had tried to kill him in the cave before; now they had taken Old Ninth and Little Nine hostage. How utterly detestable!

Moreover, judging by what he had overheard from Lucao Kingdom soldiers earlier, it seemed they even harbored ambitions of seizing the North Sea itself. Who had given Lucao Kingdom the audacity?

"Head back home," Tang Zhong said to the fishermen.

"We... We can’t go back empty-handed! The villagers sent us out to find food. Without it, we have no face to return!" one of the fishermen replied.

"You need fish, right?" Tang Zhong said. Then, turning toward the deep sea, he extended his hand.

Blood Power began to gather in his palm. He thrust it directly into the seawater.

A tremendous surge of Blood Power rippled downward.

In an instant, thunderous rumbling echoed in the water, and a massive whirlpool emerged.

From the spiral, fish began leaping out continuously.

They landed on the fishing boats—all alive and flopping about energetically.

The two fishermen were utterly dumbstruck by the miraculous display.

That young man... this was the work of a living god.

But when the fishermen turned to look for Tang Zhong, they found he had vanished.

"Where is he?"

"Where did the man go? Wasn’t he just here?"

By now, Tang Zhong was striding across the surface of the sea again. Walking on water was no longer a challenge for him.

The audacity of Lucao Kingdom to behave so brazenly—from Robert to their warships, and now the kidnapping of Old Ninth and Little Nine. Who had emboldened Lucao Kingdom to such an extent?

Weaving through the waves, he went on his way.

Beyond the North Sea lay Lucao Kingdom’s territory!

From a distance, Tang Zhong glimpsed the border.

There, heavy troops stood guard, equipped with all manner of modern weaponry.

Tang Zhong smirked coldly and drew his Tang Sword from behind.

He would find out who dared give Lucao Kingdom the courage to provoke Xuan Country!

With sword in hand, he charged forward.
