128: Chapter 128 The Immortal Sea in the Southern Region
"You said that was yesterday. Yesterday I was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but now I am at the Golden Core Late Stage. I have improved by a whole rank, which for a Martial Artist is like three ranks."
"How is this possible? Even in ancient times, it was basically impossible for a Cultivator to rise a rank in a single day. Nowadays, Spiritual Qi is scarce, so how did you manage it?" President Fang Tianhua asked, completely bewildered.
"I naturally have my own Opportunity, so you don't need to ask. The reason I often cannot provide you with much help is that you cannot use the resources I use to Cultivate.
By the way, when Senior Sword Venerable came last time, I forgot to ask: do you know where the conflict between the foreign clans and the Martial Arts Association took place?"
"It was at the Southern Immortal Sea. The opponents were ninjas from the Wa Nation. If not for Sword Venerable intervening, it would have been impossible to rescue those members of the Martial Arts Association."
"Southern Immortal Sea? What kind of place is that?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
"It is a huge island in the southern part of the Great Xia. The Southern Immortal Sea possesses rich mineral resources, such as oil and natural gas, so the Southern Immortal Sea is very important to the Great Xia.
It's just that those people from the foreign clans always find various excuses, saying the Southern Immortal Sea belongs to them. To put it bluntly, they just have their eyes on the mineral resources there."
As the President of Huainan Province, President Fang Tianhua naturally knew this information.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then I will go to the Southern Immortal Sea to take a look, and solve those guys while I'm at it."
Xiao Yuchen said it very casually. If someone else had said this, President Fang Tianhua would definitely have thought that person had a problem with their head, but since Xiao Yuchen said it, he absolutely believed him.
"Brother Xiao, I know your strength is formidable, but I still hope you can be careful. Those ninjas are very cunning and unpredictable; they are best at sneak attacks." President Fang Tianhua reminded him kindly.
"Rest assured, I don't even put a few ninjas in my eyes. If they don't know what's good for them, I don't mind taking a trip to the Wa Nation and adding some fuel to their volcanoes."
Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, everyone was shocked. As expected of a Cultivator, he was truly domineering. It seemed that in the eyes of a Cultivator, any place could be visited.
"Alright everyone, I am leaving. I will leave the affairs of Jiangcheng to all of you."
Without waiting for everyone to say anything further, Xiao Yuchen jumped directly out of the window, then stepped into the Void Realm and instantly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
"Truly the methods of an immortal. It is really too cool, but unfortunately, we can only envy him."
Everyone looked enviously in the direction where Xiao Yuchen had disappeared, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
Because it was daytime, to avoid causing panic among the public, Xiao Yuchen did not choose to travel through the air, but drove to Suzhou, because among the nearby cities, only Suzhou had an airport.
After arriving at the airport, Xiao Yuchen bought a flight to Sanhai City, because it was closest to the Southern Immortal Sea.
Although Xiao Yuchen had money now, this was his first time taking a plane. Although he couldn't say he was nervous, he was ultimately a bit curious.
When the plane flew to the highest altitude, above it was a clear sky with ten thousand li, and he still couldn't see the end.
"Where exactly is this Immortal Realm? And who set the rules of the Heavenly Dao?"
Was it the supreme Immortal Emperor? Clearly not. Compared to the vast Universe, the Immortal Emperor was also like an ant.
After the plane flew for more than three hours, it finally landed at Sanhai City International Airport. Because he didn't need to collect luggage, Xiao Yuchen was the first to walk off the plane.
After getting off the plane, Xiao Yuchen felt the climate difference. Jiangcheng was already a bit cold now, but here it was like summer. However, the temperature had no effect on the current Xiao Yuchen.
Following the signs, Xiao Yuchen was the first to walk out of the airport. After leaving the airport, Xiao Yuchen did not go directly to the Southern Immortal Sea, but came to the headquarters of the Sanhai City Martial Arts Association; he needed to understand the situation from these people.
"Sir, please stop. This is the Sanhai City Martial Arts Association. May I ask what business you have?" Xiao Yuchen was just about to go in when he was stopped by the guard at the entrance.
"Oh, I am looking for your President."
"May I ask if you have an appointment?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, sir, without an appointment, I cannot take you to see the President."
The other party was very polite and was also acting according to regulations, so Xiao Yuchen was not angry. He simply took out Nangong Wentian's token from his System Inventory and handed it to the guard.
"You take this to see your President, and he will come out to see me."
The guard took a look at the token in his hand and seemed somewhat familiar, but he was new and his position was too low, so he didn't recognize the President's token.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Ten minutes later, more than a dozen people walked quickly to the entrance. When they saw Xiao Yuchen at the entrance, the leading man was shocked.
"Sir, may I ask if this token was handed to the guard by you?" the leading man asked tremblingly.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No, no. Then how did you get this token?"
"Naturally, it was given to me by the person you are thinking of. Otherwise, do you think I snatched it?"
Hearing Xiao Yuchen say this, the leading man gave an awkward smile. His question was indeed a bit superfluous; who could snatch things from the hands of the Great Xia's Guardian God?
Thinking of this, the leading man hurriedly said, "No, no, sir, please come in!"
The other members were confused upon seeing this; it was their first time seeing the President be so polite to someone.
Arriving at the reception room, the President personally brewed a cup of tea for Xiao Yuchen and handed it to him.
"Sir, may I ask how to address you? And what important business brings you here?"
"My surname is Xiao. I came here to ask about the Wa Nation ninjas."
"Wa Nation ninjas? Why are you concerned about this? Is it the wish of that adult?" The President was shocked, not expecting Xiao Yuchen to come for the sake of the Wa Nation ninjas.
"Oh, that's not it. I just heard a Senior mention this matter, so I wanted to go take a look. Are those people still at the Southern Immortal Sea?"
"They should still be there, but they usually hide on the nearby islands and come out to cause trouble from time to time. It's just that there are at least dozens of islands in that vicinity, and we don't know exactly where they are."
Hearing the President's words, Xiao Yuchen nodded. As long as the other party was still there, he could find them.
"Then you accompany me to the Southern Immortal Sea. I am going to wipe them out."
Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, the President stood up from his seat in shock.
"You... are you serious? They have ten Heavenly Ninjas and three God Ninjas, and they are proficient in the Five Elements techniques. Even the Sword... Senior could do nothing about them."
"You talk too much. You just need to take me there; you don't need to worry about the rest." Xiao Yuchen raised his tone a bit.
"Yes, subordinate understands."
Carrying the President's token, no matter what request the other party made, the President dared not refuse.
Having made the decision, the President personally drove Xiao Yuchen to the Southern Immortal Sea. However, the population of Sanhai City was not large, and when they drove to the suburbs, Xiao Yuchen had the President stop the car on an open space by the side of the road.
"You are too slow this way. We will fly there."
"Fly there? This is all sea, how are we going to fly?"
The President didn't dare to say it out loud, only grumbling in his heart. Xiao Yuchen didn't explain, but directly summoned the zhu xian sword. Seeing the zhu xian sword floating in the sky, the President opened his mouth in shock.
