Shortly after, He-Tian-Chuang, who had just come out of the cultivation, arrived at the sect and saw the bolts of furious lightning strike his sect. So, he took something out of his dimensional ring and used it immediately.
[Aqua Emperor Armor Screen Spell]
Boooooooooom!!!
A large number of lightning bolts hit the light blue aqua armor screen that was quickly formed by the spell of He-Tian-Chuang, which arrived just in time.
The level of the Aqua Emperor Armor Screen spell was the same level as Zheng-Fu's Heaven Shield spell, which was the high-level Emperor-stage spell.
It was able to withstand a huge amount of devil-killing lightning without anyone being hurt or having any property within the sect damaged. This was considered good luck because the Emperor-stage spells were not able to be used easily or multiple times.
"Sect Leader!!!"
After everyone heard the exclamation that all of the elders had called out at the same time, they immediately turned around and saw that the person who used the spell just now was the current sect leader of the Artsy Water Sect.
Thump!!!
"What happened, Elder Sui-Yi-Tong?" As soon as He-Tian-Chuang arrived, he immediately asked the supreme elder.
"Sect Leader, the incident just now was caused by a new spell experiment, and it went wrong," the white-bearded elder immediately replied to He-Tian-Chuang without any hesitation, but his answer was not the truth.
Huh...?
"A new spell pattern experiment? What spell pattern is it, and why haven't I seen it before? Besides, I can also sense a familiar person!" He-Tian-Chuang still could not believe it, so he asked again to be sure.
"They are lightning and aquatic spell patterns. The High Senior Grandmaster Council experimented with combining these two spell patterns during the time the grandmaster kept cultivating. Until now... an error occurred in the experiment, causing the event you see," the white-bearded elder continued to compose a reply and tried to explain it to He-Tian-Chuang intently.
The ten elders of the council understood the meaning of the white-bearded elder who wanted to hide this issue, so they worked together to explain more for a while. Then the elder ordered the disciples to disperse to do their duty, which, of course, included prohibiting everyone from talking about today's events strictly.
As for the pursuit of Zheng-Fu, they had to wait patiently. They could then send people to Blueland later. No matter what, they would never let Zheng-Fu survive. Otherwise, it would be them who would meet a terrible end.
After all the events had calmed down, the sect announced to everyone about the incident that it was because of the experiment that went wrong and therefore had to set off a warning signal for all disciples to be careful. There was no intruder at all.
Many people believed these words, and many did not, because it was obvious that the events that had happened were too unusual, only they just did not know how unusual they were since no one else could see what was going on inside except the Artsy Water Sect's disciples.
As for Zheng-Fu, Elder Hai-Tu, and Hai-Dong, they had passed through the moving dimension gate back to behind the mountain. Without delay, they immediately headed back to Mysterious Stream Village to board the ship, rushing out of there. And before leaving, Elder Hai-Tu told his comrades the whole story.
The elder village leader was greatly angered by this illogical act. He then fully assisted the three and said that he would support them in everything he could.
After boarding the ship, the three of them immediately set off for Blueland without stopping at the port city of Wild Land for fear that the supreme elder would send someone to trap them. Elder Hai-Tu said that he would take a detour.
But that path was full of danger because there were many monsters under the sea inhabited around it. But once they crossed the boundary between Wild Land and the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom, they would enter the safe zone.
But during that time, they had to risk their fate for what they would encounter. As for the travel time, Elder Hai-Tu thought they would need two months because traveling by water was much slower than by land or by air. But when it came to their safety, the waterway was the best choice.
On the deck of the ship...
"Brother, are you alright?" Hai-Dong asked worriedly when he saw Zheng-Fu's tense and unhappy expression on his face.
"I'm fine. I'm just more worried about my family and the people in Blueland. If those old bastards lead people to In-See City, then I'm afraid…"
"You don't have to worry, Zheng-Fu Kid. Old Man Sui-Yi-Tong doesn't dare to act now. At least it would be a while longer. I thought that the Sect Leader probably didn't know about this issue. And they wouldn't dare to tell him."
"Besides, that group of High Senior Grandmaster Council members would have ordered the disciples who witnessed the incident to shut up and not tell outsiders. So, no one knows what's going on, and that won't allow them to act so blatantly," Elder Hai-Tu said step by step, according to his thoughts.
"May it be as Elder said, but if something bad happens to my family, I'll erase the Artsy Water Sect from this world. Just wait for it!" Zheng-Fu said angrily and furiously at what had happened.
He also made a strong vow that if they had done anything bad to his family, he would be ready to give everything to make the Artsy Water Sect completely disappear from this world. Of course, if other people heard of it, they would probably think that Zheng-Fu was exaggerating.
But Elder Hai-Tu did not think so. He knew that Zheng-Fu still had many secrets that he had not known about yet. And from what the elder had seen, only Zheng-Fu's age and his abilities were enough to shake this continent. And if he was given another five years—no, just three years was enough—how awesome would he be?
"We shouldn't be in a hurry to decide on this matter. First of all, we should escape far from here; hurry out of this Artsy Water Kingdom's boundary because if we are still here, soon they will find us for sure." Elder Hai-Tu told Zheng-Fu the first plan, staring far out at the calm and wide ocean in front of him.
"Elder... Elder…"
Bonk!!!
Ouch!!!
"Why are you hitting my head? Eld..."
Bonk!!!
Ouch!!!
Elder Hai-Tu suddenly hit Hai-Dong's head after Hai-Dong called him 'Elder' the first time and the second time before he said, "You still haven't called me Grandpa? This kid!" said the elder, glaring at him.
Huh...?
"Grandpa? You mean... But I don't remember seeing you in the family. Then how…"
Bonk!!!
Ouch!!!
"Foolish boy, my surname is Hai, so I must be a member of the Hai family. So, surely, I'm your grandfather... Call me Grandpa right now!" The elder bonked Hai-Dong's head again, stubbornly telling Hai-Dong to call him Grandpa. The actions of the two of them made Zheng-Fu, who was in a bad mood, recover and smile.
Thump!!! Thump!!!
Hai-Dong hurriedly jumped back and gave a disgruntled look, staring at the elder before speaking, "Why should I call you Grandpa? I have only one grandfather, and that's Grandpa Hai-Duan-Tang!" he said with his chest stretched proudly.
Tsk!!!
"Kid, do you know that Hai-Duan-Tang is my younger brother? I'm his elder brother, and that's why you have to call me Grandpa!" Elder Hai-Tu continued to explain to Hai-Dong, but his face still looked spoiled.
Ha ha ha!!!
"How long are you two going to play this joke? I laughed so hard that my stomach was tense... Brother, Elder is really your grandfather. It's just that he left the family a long time ago. As for Elder, you are too greedy to force Brother Hai-Dong like that. How could he believe you?" Zheng-Fu said after watching the two of them verbally argue.
"Are you telling the truth, Brother?" Hai-Dong turned to look at Zheng-Fu seriously.
"Yes, I'm telling the truth. He's your grandfather," Zheng-Fu nodded as he repeated his answer.
"If you say so, then I'll believe you. But I won't call him Grandpa because he and I have never known each other," Hai-Dong still refused to call the elder 'Grandpa' anyway. He had never met Hai-Tu before, so how could he suddenly call him 'grandfather'?
Huh!!!
"You, arrogant kid! If I'm still in the family, I'll catch you and your father and give the two of you some lessons!' the elder said angrily when he saw that Hai-Dong had believed Zheng-Fu easily while he had not believed him despite his explanation.
"If you do anything to my father, I'm... I'm willing to fight to the death and trade my life with you," Hai-Dong continued to speak eloquently, without the slightest fear of the elder.
"You!"
"Come on, the two of you, now we have reached the dangerous area. We should keep our voices quiet. Otherwise, the monster beasts under the sea, as Elder said, will emerge and make us waste time," Zheng-Fu hurriedly stopped the two of them as the ship entered the danger zone, as told by the elder.
Um...
Hearing that, the two of them fell silent as if nothing had happened before. It was as if the TV had suddenly turned off.
Back to the Artsy Water Sect...
After the disciples had all dispersed, the group of High Senior Grandmaster Council members dispersed to perform their respective duties as the white-bearded elder had assigned. The matter, of course, was related to what happened. First, keep the matter quiet. Second, do everything to keep the master sect leader from knowing.
Third, hire assassins to hunt Zheng-Fu and send people to Wild Land to trap Zheng-Fu in the port city.
The white-bearded elder thought that, however, Zheng-Fu definitely had to board the ship there. But now, the most important of the three was to find excuses to explain to He-Tian-Chuang that what had happened was actually caused by a new spell pattern experiment and had to describe the person who He-Tian-Chuang had sensed as well.
As for the three great clan leaders, everything had calmed down when they arrived at the entrance to the sect. Before the situation ended, they could feel the arrival of He-Tian-Chuang, the current sect leader who had secluded himself for cultivation. And that increased their curiosity even more, but the entrance to the sect was closed at that moment, forbidding anyone to enter.
