Anyway, since they're not using their own Primordial Power right now, Jiang Qichen and the other two let Duan Gujin control the fishing boat to speed away from the pursuers behind them.

Time passed bit by bit. About an hour later, Jiang Qichen and the others saw that Duan Gujin was still controlling the fishing boat and moving fast.

They all frowned slightly, thinking.

"Doesn't he feel tired?"

Of course, Duan Gujin felt tired, but when he saw with his Divine Sense Inspection that four large ships were persistently pursuing from behind, he had no choice but to channel Primordial Power into the fishing boat to help them escape the large ships chasing them.

Seeing that his four large ships could not catch up to the small boat ahead, the young man on the ship was furious, but he had no solution.

"You bunch of useless people! Can't you catch up to that little boat in front of us? Look at that small boat, it's so tiny, and there are only four people on the other side, while each of your ships has over a hundred people!"

The young man yelled at a middle-aged man on the ship, who merely touched his nose and held back.

"Young Master, it's precisely because it's a small boat that it's faster than us!"

The middle-aged man quickly defended himself.

"I don't care! I can't swallow this grievance; do you really have no way to catch up to that little boat ahead?"

That young man, who had never suffered such a setback, believed in his heart that Duan Gujin and the others should be utterly crushed a thousand times over.

Because they had angered him!

"I do have a way, but it requires a lot of Crystal Stones!"

The middle-aged man responded.

"How many Crystal Stones will it take?"

The young man asked.

"About three hundred thousand!"

The middle-aged man's mind whirled rapidly; after a moment, he stated a number.

"It's just a mere three hundred thousand. I will provide five hundred thousand Crystal Stones; you must catch up to those four people ahead! I want you to ram and sink their small boat. I can't stand seeing people act arrogantly before me!"

Upon hearing the Young Master's words, the middle-aged man immediately gasped, piecing together some rumors he had heard about the Young Master; he realized that the Young Master was prone to road rage.

"It seems that the Young Master is determined to sink that small boat with those four people this time; I must not offend the Young Master, otherwise, I will be in big trouble! It looks like those four are also heading in the direction of that beam of light; I just need to keep moving towards that beam of light!"

The middle-aged man, who dared not offend the Young Master, could only order his subordinates to channel Crystal Stones into the large ship he was on to speed up and chase Duan Gujin's fishing boat.

"Whoosh!"

After consuming a large amount of Crystal Stones, the navigation speed of the Young Master's large ship on the sea increased to more than three times faster than before.

Although this method of using Crystal Stones to increase the speed of sailing would indeed make the large ship faster, it caused the Array inside the ship to become unstable and could even lead to an explosion.

Duan Gujin continued to channel Primordial Power into the fishing boat, having already channeled all of his own Primordial Power into it.

Thus, the fishing boat was rapidly moving towards the beam of light ahead.

Suddenly, Duan Gujin sensed a powerful Qi emerging from beneath the sea, causing him to be greatly alarmed; he immediately thought of the giant Xuan Turtle.

"Could it be appearing?"

He immediately stopped the fishing boat and then asked Jiang Qichen and the other three to contain their Life Aura, to not release it outward.

"I sensed a powerful Qi nearby coming from beneath the sea, and I think it's very likely the giant Xuan Turtle!"

Duan Gujin conveyed to Jiang Qichen through telepathy.

After hearing Duan Gujin's words, Jiang Qichen released his Divine Sense outward, but he didn't sense any Qi nearby.

A hint of puzzlement flashed through his mind; he felt that Duan Gujin wasn't deceiving them, but he really hadn't sensed the presence of a terrifying aura beneath the nearby sea.

"But I didn't sense the presence of a terrifying aura nearby!" Jiang Qichen shared his thoughts with Duan Gujin, hoping to discern some clues from the changes in Duan Gujin's expression.

Duan Gujin immediately transmitted his voice: "That's because your Spiritual Power is too weak, I am a genuine Third-level Alchemist!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Jiang Qichen instantly took a sharp intake of cold air.

He knew that being a Third-level Alchemist meant one's Spiritual Power was incredibly strong, and Divine Sense could inspect much farther distances.

This is the advantage of having strong Spiritual Power!

"Listen to me, and conceal all your Life Aura! Don't let that giant Xuan Turtle sense your presence!"

Duan Gujin earnestly warned.

"Alright!"

Jiang Qichen was dubious about Duan Gujin's intentions; as he concealed his Life Aura, he also prepared defenses against a potential sneak attack from Duan Gujin.

He was well aware that if Duan Gujin really decided to launch a sneak attack, now would be the best opportunity.

While they concealed their Life Auras, their defenses would be at their weakest.

If Duan Gujin made a move at this time, he could easily capture all three of them.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, and this time, he locked onto the approximate direction from which the terrifying aura emanated.

After a while, his brows furrowed deeply, his heart filled with horror.

It turned out that the terrifying aura was rapidly approaching their location.

Initially, although Jiang Qichen and the others followed Duan Gujin's instructions, they still harbored doubts about him.

When they truly sensed a very terrifying aura nearby, fear immediately surged in their hearts.

"My heavens! What a terrifying aura!"

Fang Xiaomei cried out in shock.

"Do not speak! Don't do anything at all! Any action you take might bring disaster upon us!"

Duan Gujin seriously warned.

Jiang Qichen and the others didn't dare act otherwise; they clearly understood that the terrifying aura likely belonged to the giant Xuan Turtle.

Knowing that the giant Xuan Turtle, the creature that had defeated many strong men of the Holy Land, was around them, they were extremely frightened.

Although they had heard that the giant Xuan Turtle hadn't harmed anyone, they couldn't be sure it wouldn't make an exception for them.

Moreover, they were now on the vast open sea.

If the giant Xuan Turtle decided to ram and sink their fishing boat, they had no means to stop it.

As Duan Gujin and the others were intensely anxious, they soon sensed the giant Xuan Turtle moving in another direction.

"Has it left?"

Feeling the Xuan Turtle moving away, Fang Xiaomei hurriedly asked.

"Not yet, I can still sense its presence! I'll tell you when it really leaves!"

Duan Gujin quickly whispered.

After a while, once Duan Gujin really sensed that the giant Xuan Turtle had left, he told the other three that they no longer needed to conceal their Life Auras.

Even though they hadn't clearly seen the true face of the terrifying aura, all four of them were convinced that the terrifying aura they had encountered under the sea was indeed from the giant Xuan Turtle.
