?


    Kong Hui and Jiang Taiyu seemed to notice something strange about Yu Wuying. They followed her gaze and saw an ordinary-looking man on a ship next to Shui Fang. However, they couldn''t find anything special about him. Why was she looking at him so attentively?


    At that moment, Yun Lintian had a feeling that someone was currently watching him. While ncing around, he didn''t find anyone watching him, as everyone was mostly fixated on Shui Fang.


    "Hmm? His perception is quite sharp," Kong Hui was slightly surprised by Yun Lintian''s movement.


    On the side, Jiang Taiyu had a thought and turned to Yu Wuying. "Is he?"


    Yu Wuying calmly responded. "He is the sessor of Master."


    Kong Hui was surprised and asked. "How did you know, Sister Yu?"


    "He emitted a simr aura to that of Master," Jiang Taiyu replied on her behalf. "The disguise technique he used is exactly the same as what we have seen in the past. If I remember correctly, it is the Shadow God Concealing technique... It''s really powerful. It can even deceive us."


    Kong Hui observed Yun Lintian carefully and said. "You''re right... Should we call him over?"


    Perhaps it was because Kong Hui was the disciple of the Beyond Heaven King. He immediately felt a sense of intimacy with Yun Lintian as soon as he learned his identity.


    "Let''s wait and see." Yu Wuying said calmly.


    At this moment, Shui Fang had a strong urge to punch Yang Zhen for making him the center of attention. He nced at the Sun God Pce and said. "Why don''t youe down here?"


    In his opinion, Yang Zhen would never leave the pce ande down. However, to everyone''s surprise, Yang Zhen''s figure floated out of the Sun God Pce with Dong Xiu beside him and descended onto Shui Fang''s ship.


    Dong Xiu immediately set up a table and arranged a variety of delicacies and wine on it.


    Yang Zhen sat down and opened his palm. "Come, Brother Shui. Let''s drink."


    Shui Fang didn''t expect the usually arrogant Yang Zhen to actuallye down. He had no choice but to sit down.


    At the same time, he turned to Yun Lintian and said. "I invite you to join us, Brother Ye."


    Hearing this, Yang Zhen looked at Yun Lintian curiously. He had seen this person before, but didn''t think much of it. Why would Shui Fang pay so much attention to him?


    "Since you''re Brother Shui, you''re wee to join us," Yang Zhen said with a faint smile.


    Yun Lintian didn''t want to associate with them, but he had nothing to do while waiting anyway. Hence, he hopped onto Shui Fang''s ship and cupped his fists. "Wandering practitioner Ye Xiaolong greets Young Master Yang. Thank you for your kindness."


    "Come." Yang Zhen beckoned Yun Lintian to sit down while Dong Xiu pouring a cup of wine for him.


    Yun Lintian nodded and sat down, epting the wine cup from Dong Xiu and taking arge sip. "Good wine."


    "This is the famous Autumn Breeze Wine. It will be avable every thousand years." Yang Zhen said and drank a mouthful of his wine.


    "You are surely generous, huh? This is not the Yang Zhen I know." Shui Fang said after taking a few gulps.


    "Your words hurt me, Brother Shui." Yang Zhen pretended to be sad.


    "Cut the chase. Tell me. What do you want?" Shui Fang said impatiently.


    Yang Zhenughed slightly and said. "Well, I would like to invite Brother Shui to explore the Sea of the Stars together."


    Shui Fang looked at Yang Zhen with an incredulous expression. "Are you really...?"


    Yang Zhen responded with a profound gaze. "Do you think I''m joking?"


    Shui Fang carefully observed Yang Zhen''s face and noticed that thetter was serious. He put the cup down and asked. "What do you know that would make you risk your life?"


    Yang Zhen drank another mouthful of wine and said. "Wait."


    "Wait?" Shui Fang frowned deeply.


    Yang Zhen smiled and offered no exnation.


    Shui Fang had no choice but to remain silent.


    A whileter, an enormous ck silhouette emerged from the depths of the starry sky above the crowd and descended slowly beforeing to a stop two hundred meters above everyone. It was a triangr-shaped, profound ark, emitting a frightening aura that intimidated the crowd below.


    "Evesting Soul Ark?" Shui Fang immediately recognized the profound ark. It was the personal profound ark of the Evesting Soul God Emperor.


    He turned to look at Yang Zhen and asked. "Is this where your confidencees from?"


    Yang Zhen smiled and said. "I''m not foolish enough to endanger my life without proper preparation." Coincidentally, Brother Ling has invited me to join him."


    The term "Brother Ling" mentioned by Yang Zhen was a reference to Ling Zemin, the eldest son of the Evesting Soul God Emperor.


    Shui Fang asked for more information. "What did he tell you?"


    "You can ask him personally." Yang Zhen chuckled.


    At this moment, a young man in ck with a cold expression emerged from the ark and flew toward Shui Fang''s ship.


    Yang Zhen got up and said with a warm smile. "Wee, Brother Ling."


    The young man, Lin Zemin, nodded slightly and swept his gaze over Shui Fang and Yun Lintian. He paused on Yun Lintian for a second before turning to Shui Fang. "It''s been a while, Brother Shui."


    "Indeed," Shui Fang responded calmly. "Brother Yang asked me to join him earlier. Can I ask Brother Ling for an exnation?"


    Ling Zemin didn''t answer right away and turned to Yun Lintian. "This is…?"


    Yun Lintian quickly got up and cupped his fists. "Ye Xiaolong greets Young Master Ling. I am nothing but a wandering practitioner. I''ll take my leave first."


    After finishing his sentence, Yun Lintian turned around and prepared to leave.


    However, Shui Fang stopped him. "Please stay, Brother Ye."


    He then turned to Ling Zemin and exined. "Brother Ye is my friend I made along the way. I hope Brother Ling doesn''t mind."


    Ling Zemin immediately lost his interest in Yun Lintian upon hearing this. He sat down and said. "My Royal Father asked me to explore the Sea of the Stars on his behalf, and he has also provided me with instructions on how to get out of the ce. It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to join."


    Shui Fang furrowed his brow upon hearing this. He didn''t think that Ling Zemin would be so generous to provide this valuable information for free. There must be something behind it.


    As Shui Fang was deep in thought, an incredibly massive profound ark that was five hundred kilometers in length, emerged from the depths of the starry sky and hovered in the air above the crowd...
