After the young woman walked away, Hai-Dong let out a happy smile upon seeing her hurtful expression. He turned to Zheng-Fu and said, "Let's go." Having said that, Hai-Dong immediately turned around in the direction of the vehicle monster beast. But at that moment, the middle-aged elder's voice sounded again.

"Only one of you can come up, Hai-Dong. That child has no right to come up to this vehicle monster beast; he's not our Artsy Water Sect's disciple," the middle-aged elder's voice was extremely calm. However, it was hidden by a wave of energy that was very fierce and decisive.

"Bu… but…"

Zheng-Fu fully understood what that middle-aged elder meant, so he walked closer to Hai-Dong and touched his shoulder before saying, "Brother Hai-Dong, you don't have to worry. I can go to the Artsy Water Sect myself. Let's meet over there." Zheng-Fu finished speaking, immediately turned around, and walked away without waiting to hear Hai-Dong's other words.

"Brother!" Hai-Dong tried to hold back Zheng-Fu, but Zheng-Fu quickly disappeared as if he had never existed. It was as if the sound that was heard just now was the wind that blew and passed.

"Good luck, Brother. I'll go wait for you in front of the sect," Hai-Dong knew he could not say anything, so he could only let out a long sigh and mumble before turning around and reluctantly walking up to the pavilion building on the vehicle monster beast's back.

"Alright, since there is no one else, we can depart now."

Ki!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as the middle-aged elder gave the command, the vehicle monster beast let out a cry, then moved its enormous wings three or four times before soaring into the sky with great speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already floated hundreds of li in the sky.

Getting to the Artsy Water Sect with this blue eagle only took half a day. But if one traveled by themselves, it would take at least three days. And if one unfortunately encountered various problems, then it would take more than a week.

Therefore, most of the sect's disciples came to use this vehicle monster beast travel service to reduce the travel time and reduce the risk of encountering danger.

Back to Zheng-Fu…

After separating, he immediately headed to the Heavenly Trade Association to purchase a route map to the Artsy Water Sect. He thought that the map sold at the Heavenly Trade Association might indicate the dangerous spots. And it probably had the easiest route written on it, so Zheng-Fu came here to buy it. No matter how expensive the price was, he was willing to pay.

Half an hour had passed...

"This map is pretty expensive, but it's worth it because it also shows where monster beasts flock. More importantly, it also indicates various ancient locations. The loss of thirty million coins for this map is well worth it."

Zheng-Fu spoke with an incomprehensible smile after he had successfully bought the map. Then Zheng-Fu did not hesitate and immediately headed in the direction shown on the map. He had to leave this city and head to another port city in the west first.

The distance from Reversed Stream Port City to Returned Stream Port City was only an hour and a half if estimated from the given map. It was a journey avoiding monster beasts altogether, but for Zheng-Fu, the journey to Return Stream Port City was half that. An hour was enough because he had Solo.

"Solo, my son," having made his decision, Zheng-Fu summoned his Solo, Thunderbolt Blue Bull, the ancient monster beast, and immediately jumped onto its back. Then he thrust his heel against its stomach and shouted, "Go on, Solo, my son." When Solo heard that, with its instincts, it immediately ran.

Moooooo!!!

Thump thump thump!!!

Half an hour had passed...

Zheng-Fu had finally arrived at Returned Stream Port City with such a shocking speed that the world would have been stunned. When he arrived at the area that seemed to be crowded, Zheng-Fu disembarked from Solo's back and put it back inside his magic pavilion as before, for Zheng-Fu did not want anyone to see Solo at this moment.

After sending Solo back, Zheng-Fu continued the journey for about a hundred li to reach Returned Stream Port City. But at that moment, Zheng-Fu heard a roaring noise in front of the entrance of the city before discovering that the sound belonged to a large number of villagers and travelers.

Thump thump thump!!!

"What happened?" Zheng-Fu approached the young man and asked curiously.

"Suddenly, the City Governor ordered the shutting down of the city, forbidding anyone from entering the city for a week!" The young man turned around when he heard Zheng-Fu's voice and saw that the person asking him was only a child. The young man explained it to him with a very displeased look.

Forbidding anyone from entering the city for a week!?

Zheng-Fu immediately frowned upon hearing that. He needed to pass through this Returned Stream Port City to get to the Artsy Water Sect. It would not be good for him, for sure, if he had to be stuck here like this for a week.

"Handsome brother, do you know what happened? Why did the City Governor have such a command?" Zheng-Fu once again asked the young man the real reason for what happened.

"I heard that in the middle of the sea, two hundred lis away from the city, there were hundreds of Frenzied Shark Pirates' ships moored. So, the City Governor commanded the city to be shut down to protect the pirates' spies. But even with that reason, what about us? What have we got to do with it?!" replied the young man with an extremely displeased shout.

Among these people, many of them felt like this young man. Everyone was here this time to apply for the Artsy Water Sect. So, how could being stuck here for a week without doing anything like this not make them feel displeased? Besides, the test only lasted three days.

'Frenzied Shark Pirates? The name sounds familiar as I have... oh! It's that pirate group,' Zheng-Fu was very familiar with the name of this pirate group, and when he tried to think about it, Zheng-Fu realized where he had heard it.

''I guess I'll have to go in and have a look,' Zheng-Fu muttered in his throat for a moment before his body slowly faded away without anyone noticing it.

"By the way, you also want to enter the city like... Ah, where did he go?" The young man was about to turn to ask Zheng-Fu, but he found that Zheng-Fu had disappeared without a trace as if he had never existed before. It was as if he had just stood and talked to a ghost in the daylight. The young man's face instantly turned pale white.

As for Zheng-Fu, after he erased himself from people's eyes, he immediately headed towards the city gate before coming to a stop in front of a large closed gate and easily jumping up to the top of the wall without anyone noticing.

Phew!!!

Huh...?

"What's the wind just now? Why does it feel strange?"

"What wind? I didn't feel any wind. Is it just in your head? Or are you thinking of secretly slacking off again?"

"Damn it. I'm not a person like that! I, Brother Bear, never secretly slacked off!"

"Huh... You're such an idiot! Don't talk too much; keep working. Or would you like the commander to scold you?"

Um...

The defenses on the walls were quite secure. When Zheng-Fu came up the wall, he found that there were many soldiers guarding every corner. Plus, these soldiers were all intermediate-level to high-level Nascent Soul martial masters. And some soldiers appeared to be commanders at the elementary level of the Immortal stage.

With such a force, this city was quite strong. The forces of some major cities within Blueland could not even be compared to those of the medium-sized cities here. Then, how strong was the capital city of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom?

This made Zheng-Fu realize that the five million troops sent by the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom earlier were just a tease. And they probably thought that just sending the lower-level forces could defeat Blueland.

Without Zheng-Fu, the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom's plans would have been easily successful. However, the incident had already passed several months ago, and the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom still did not seem to have taken any action. But that was very good for Blueland.

Now, Zheng-Fu had seen their troops here. It made him realize what he should do next when he returned to Blueland, In-See City. But now he had to investigate what happened here first to see what the truth was.

Whoosh!!! Swish!!!!!

Inside one of the great halls at the City Governor's mansion...

"How many fleets of these freaking Frenzied Shark Pirates? What do they want here?" a trembling, uncertain voice rang out from a fat-bellied, middle-aged man sitting on a throne in the middle of the room after this fat man received a report about the pirate fleets anchored only two hundred lis away from the city. And this fat man was the lord of this city.

"City Governor, as reported by our informant, their fleets have over a hundred ships, sir. The reason for their arrival is unknown because they have been floating like that without moving since they came."

"Over a Hundred ships!?"

Gulp!!!

The fat City Governor's face turned pale as he heard the reports of the number of ships floating around. If it were a normal pirate, the fat City Governor would not have thought much. But these were the number one pirates known for being strong and ruthless. So how could the fat City Governor not think too hard?

"Hurry up and send a letter to my brother at Reversed Stream Port City. Tell him to send his forces to help me right now," the fat City Governor was afraid, so he ordered the soldiers to bring his letter to his brother, who was the Governor of Reversed Stream Port City, to urgently send the troops to help him.

"Yes, City Governor!"

'Is that true? Previously, I thought the lord was a liar and made up a story to lie to his citizens. But looking at this fat City Governor's cowardly nature, it should really have happened. Sigh... Really pity the people of this city for having such a governor. If I could bring these people back to In-See City, it would be nice.'

Zheng-Fu muttered to himself and shook his head in pity that the people of this city had such a cowardly lord. If something really happened, this fat City Governor would definitely abandon these people.
