198: Yuanying monks board the ship

Outside the misty area of the Mirage Sea.

The huge sea vessel, which echoed the Mo Gui Hunting Squad, was also a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact. Standing on it was the Flying Immortal Hunting Demon Team.

Several Formations were set up on the sea vessel. Although they were only second-tier Formations, they could play a significant role when manipulated by Cultivators.

Hundreds of Cultivators stood on both sea vessels, at least at the Golden Core Early Stage of cultivation, and these were not even their core members.

The four top Hunting Demon Teams of East Sea City had core members who were definitely at the Nascent Soul Stage.

This meant they had at least five or more Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

Lin Yongmao felt a headache. How could they compete for the three thousand year five-colored lotus with them? The two major Realm difference truly made him feel powerless; this was clearly impossible.

Li Niannian explained to Lin Yongmao, “The four top Hunting Demon Teams of East Sea City are Ink Ghost, Flying Immortal, Demon Venerable, and Jade Buddha. None of them are someone we can afford to offend.”

Lin Yongmao asked Li Niannian, “Since they are so strong, what is the point of us being here?”

“When the mist is completely dispersed and the misty area is exposed before us, as long as we don't covet the three thousand year five-colored lotus, they won't make things difficult for us,” Li Niannian patiently explained.

Lin Yongmao genuinely found the East Sea City Hunting Demon Team strange, to be so easy to talk to.

Life-and-death struggles between Cultivators were relatively rare; they mostly hunted Yao Beasts to obtain Cultivation resources from Sea Demon Beasts.

Currently, only the Ink Ghost and Flying Immortal Hunting Demon Teams were present among the top Hunting Demon Teams. As for the Demon Venerable Hunting Demon Team and the Jade Buddha Hunting Demon Team, they had not arrived yet.

The dense fog in the misty area had indeed been dispersed quite a bit; the mist was no longer as thick.

Lin Yongmao compared the mist produced by the Cloud Mist Tea Tree with the dense fog in the misty area. Both could block the detection of Divine Sense, but they were also different.

These mists clearly also had hallucinatory properties, similar to the Hallucination Heart Flower Lin Yongmao had planted before.

No wonder the Mo Gui Hunting Squad was looking for Nightmare Seahorse; the Nightmare Seahorse was indeed not afraid of these mists.

Lin Yongmao was not afraid either. Not to mention that he had twelve Nightmare Seahorses in his Spirit Beast Bag, even without Nightmare Seahorses, he had other means to freely move through the mist.

A cold sea breeze blew, and the mist was dispersed even more.

However, it would take at least several more days for the mist to completely dissipate.

The Hunting Demon Teams were all anchored on the sea, everyone was at peace, and no malicious killings occurred.

Lin Yongmao also did not leave, as he hoped to find a younger five-colored lotus here.

If he truly encountered danger, he would use the System's [Portable Teleportation] function to return to his Family.

Two more days passed, and the other two top Hunting Demon Teams also arrived.

Another team attracted everyone's attention. Originally, the owner of this sea vessel was an inconspicuous East Sea City Hunting Demon Team, but it carried several Cultivators with very strong Aura.

These Cultivators were all at the Nascent Soul Stage.

It seemed that not only the top forces of East Sea City had arrived here.

Cultivators from other areas also heard the news and rushed over.

The leader of the Mo Gui Hunting Squad was a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. His name was Lin Feng. Seeing more and more teams arriving, Lin Feng could not sit still.

The forces from East Sea City were fine, but if forces not from East Sea City came, that was worth taking seriously.

He called out all the members of the Mo Gui Hunting Squad and said in a deep voice, “We can’t wait any longer. Let’s prepare to enter the misty area.”

The mist had not completely dissipated, but only a thin layer remained.

“Good!”

Everyone was in high spirits, full of fighting spirit.

If they could truly acquire this three thousand year five-colored lotus, the influence of their Mo Gui Hunting Squad would become even greater.

An old woman walked out. Her cultivation was also at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Besides that, she was also a second-tier Beast Tamer.

Following the old woman was a blue Seahorse floating in mid-air. It was the one the Fugui Monster Hunting Team had given them, and it had now been subdued by the old woman.

The Nightmare Seahorse took a sharp inhale, and a large amount of mist was swallowed into its belly, revealing a wide passage.

Lin Feng ordered the members of the Mo Gui Hunting Squad to pilot the sea vessel into the misty area.

Seeing the Mo Gui Hunting Squad enter the misty area, the other three teams also began to act.

They all had ways to disperse some of the mist, but the effect was not as good as the Nightmare Seahorse.

Among them, the Flying Immortal Hunting Demon Team and the Demon Venerable Hunting Demon Team both took out a conch. The conch could actually absorb part of the mist, allowing them to enter the mist.

A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in the Jade Buddha Hunting Demon Team sacrificed his Lifebound Treasure, which was a flag. When this flag was waved, it would carry away large patches of dense fog.

It seemed that the four top Hunting Demon Teams were all well-prepared.

They entered the misty area first.

The other teams remained in a wait-and-see state; directly entering the misty area was simply too dangerous.

Kong San scanned the members of the Fugui Monster Hunting Team, especially lingering on Lin Yongmao for a relatively long time.

“Does everyone have a way to smoothly enter the misty area?”

Lin Yongmao pondered for a moment. Since they were going to look for the five-colored lotus, they really needed the Fugui Monster Hunting Team to contribute together.

Lin Yongmao summoned two of the Nightmare Seahorses from his Spirit Beast Bag.

Li Niannian's expression changed slightly, “These are Nightmare Seahorses. I didn’t expect you to still have them.”

Lin Yongmao did not explain much, merely directing the Nightmare Seahorses to devour the mist, opening a Dao into the misty area.

They were not the only ones entering the misty area besides the four top Hunting Demon Teams, so they did not attract much attention.

However, as luck would have it, a team set their sights on their sea vessel.

Two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators flew through the air and eventually landed on the deck of the Shenyin.

The members of the Fugui Monster Hunting Team's hearts pounded. How could their luck be so bad? Two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators found them at once. What if they tried to usurp their position?

The two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were both at the Nascent Soul Early Stage: one was a young man, and the other was a young woman.

The young man was tall and handsome, dressed in white, completely in the style of a knight-errant.

The young woman was stunningly beautiful, wearing a white palace dress, with a clear expression, curiously examining the two Nightmare Seahorses that were spitting out mist.

The members of the Fugui Monster Hunting Team would not be fooled by their apparent age and all cupped their fists in greeting, “Senior!”

Noticing the wariness of the Fugui Monster Hunting Team members, the woman among the two said, “Don’t be afraid, we mean no harm. We don’t have a good way to go deep into the mist. We just happened to see that you have these miraculous Sea Demon Beasts. How about you give us a ride?”

The female Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm was actually discussing with Kong San and the others, not forcing them.

Kong San looked at Lin Yongmao. Lin Yongmao was the strongest in their team, and the Nightmare Seahorses were also Lin Yongmao's Spirit Beast.

Unconsciously, the members of the Fugui Monster Hunting Team had come to regard Lin Yongmao as their backbone.
