Chapter 795: Chapter 793: Skywind Sea Area_1

Seeing the extremely unpleasant expression on Wang Zhan’s face, the man naturally didn’t dare say much more. He quickly bowed his head and spoke cautiously, "I’ve just received news. If I’m not mistaken, they should all be in the direction of the Skywind Sea Area."

"However, as far as I know, the Skywind Sea Area is one of the most dangerous places in the sea domain, and it seems those two Priests intend to continue their sacrificial ceremonies there."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s expression darkened considerably as images of Xiang Tian and his companions surfaced in his mind. Wang Zhan released the man, glanced at Jiang Yin behind him, and then asked, "Where is the Skywind Sea Area?"

Although it was their first time in the sea domain, Jiang Yin was very familiar with it. Jiang Yin squinted, recalling the map of the sea domain for a moment before slowly saying, "If I remember correctly, the Skywind Sea Area should be in the northwestern part of the sea domain’s main plate, not very far from our current location. However, the Skywind Sea Area experiences many large waves. Moreover, it’s currently the rainy season, which might cause movement in the sea domain’s tectonic plates."

"If we rush there now, we risk getting lost."

Wang Zhan clenched his fists slightly and said, "Regardless, we need to go and take a look. After all, we can’t just stand by and watch Xiang Tian and the others in such a dangerous place without doing anything."

After all, they were comrades who fought side by side. No matter the situation, they would not abandon their companions.

Everyone knew Wang Zhan was extremely loyal and would never do such a thing.

Luo Xue, standing nearby, also nodded and said, "In that case, what are we hesitating for? Let’s pack up quickly and head to the Skywind Sea Area."

Wang Zhan nodded. Seeing Jiang Yin already heading into the distance, he and Luo Xue paid no further heed to the others around them and quickly followed. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had covered several kilometers across the sea domain.

Their speed was undeniably incredible. With their comparable strength, there was no significant difference in their pace, so no one needed to wait for the others. After traveling across the sea domain for half an hour, Wang Zhan and the others still hadn’t found any trace of Xiang Tian.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly and said slowly, "Could there be a problem with our direction? We’ve traveled so far, yet there’s still no news of them. I also can’t sense any signs of a major battle nearby."

Hearing this, Luo Xue looked at Jiang Yin with confusion. After all, their presence here was entirely due to Jiang Yin, as they knew little about the sea domain themselves.

Although Luo Xue had been brought to the sea domain by those Priests before, she had been confined to a palace, never seeing daylight. So, despite her extended stay, she wasn’t very familiar with the sea domain.

After carefully scanning their surroundings, Jiang Yin frowned and said, "The terrain in the sea domain is complex. No matter where you look, it’s all an endless expanse of water. Although we’re continuously heading northwest, as long as we maintain this direction, there shouldn’t be any problems."

Wang Zhan remained silent, merely quickening his pace. Time was life, and he couldn’t bear the thought of Xiang Tian running into trouble on his watch. After they had traveled several hundred more miles, Wang Zhan’s eyes suddenly lit up as he gazed in a particular direction.

He could sense faint vibrations from that direction. Apparently, people were fighting there. Realizing this, Wang Zhan’s expression changed, and he quickly pointed and shouted, "If I’m not mistaken, Xiang Tian and his group should be in that direction! Let’s get ready! We need to hurry over and support them. It seems they’ve already engaged!"

Hearing this, Luo Xue’s face also darkened considerably. She knew Xiang Tian and the others’ strength. If they encountered those two Priests, confronting them would be no easy task, and the outcome was all too predictable.

The mood of the three instantly grew heavy.

「Meanwhile.」

「In the Skywind Sea Area.」

A large group of people was tightly surrounding Xiang Tian and his companions.

Looking around, one could see countless powerful individuals, their strength not to be underestimated.

Most importantly, two Priests stood at the forefront of the crowd.

The Lightning Priest and the Light Priest stood arrogantly before them, their gazes fixed on Xiang Tian and his group.

Currently, Xiang Tian was severely injured. They had just clashed with the two Priests and now had no strength left to fight back. Crucially, these two Priests were not fighting alone; they had numerous allies with them, all hailing from the sea domain.

Although these people disliked the Priests’ methods, they had no choice but to follow their orders.

After all, a significant power disparity existed. If the two Priests re-established their authority, these people would have to submit obediently. In the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile.

Xiang Tian looked at the crowd before him and said slowly, "It seems you’re all truly reckless. Have you forgotten what happened when Wang Zhan dealt with you before?"

"I advise you to release us quickly and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, once Brother Wang gets word of this, he’ll rush over immediately, and your predicament will be dire."

As he spoke, Xiang Tian swept his gaze over everyone present, his eyes filled with cold indifference. After all, threatening the two Priests before them was no easy feat, as their combined strength was more than enough to eliminate his group. However, their only hope now lay with the crowd, all of whom were from the sea domain. These people understood the immense trouble the Priests’ existence caused, yet they were compelled by pressure to follow them.

The assembled people exchanged glances, but no one spoke, lowering their heads one by one.

Han Junxiong, standing beside Xiang Tian, crossed his arms and said coldly, "They’re just a bunch of useless losers. Why waste more words on them? No matter what we say, they probably have no intention of letting us go. So, why not fight it out? Maybe someone can break through their encirclement. Brother Wang might even get our message. Even if we die here, I believe Brother Wang will avenge us!"

The Bounty Hunters beside Han Junxiong all nodded in agreement, clearly sharing his sentiment. Xiang Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. If he hadn’t met Wang Zhan, he’d already be dead. So, what was there to fear now? He just didn’t want all these people with him to be sacrificed needlessly. That was why he had to make a desperate stand.

But seeing no fear in their eyes, seeing that not a single one of them retreated even half a step, he laughed and declared, "Alright! In that case, let’s give it our all! Even if we lose in the end, we’ll die on our feet!"

Everyone roared in agreement.

However, the faces of the young women behind Xiang Tian turned pale. They exchanged fearful glances and then looked at Xiang Tian.

"Are we going to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire?"

"I don’t want to die here."

"Where’s that powerful man? Why hasn’t he come yet? Don’t you have any way to contact him?"

Xiang Tian took out a piece of broken jade from his robes. Crushing it would allow Wang Zhan to sense their location and receive a message. However, there was a more pressing problem: the magnetic field in this Skywind Sea Area had been altered. Consequently, even if he crushed the jade, there was no guarantee of a safe retreat. His companions exchanged glances, and then they all started to cry out.

The entire island was filled with sounds of desperate wailing. Xiang Tian glared at them and roared, "Shut up!"

"If it weren’t for Brother Wang’s compassion, we wouldn’t have brought you along!"

"Frankly, if you hadn’t been dragging us down, it wouldn’t have been difficult for us to escape. But now that things have come to this, what right do you have to complain so much?"

Having spent so much time on the Star War Battlefield, Xiang Tian’s temperament had indeed changed considerably.

They all looked at each other, no one speaking further, but their sobs continued. It was clear they were terrified. After all, Wang Zhan had just given them hope of survival, only for them to fall into such dire straits again so quickly, possibly even facing imprisonment once more. With such thoughts, how could they possibly be happy?

「From a distance.」

The Light Priest, standing at the highest point, looked down. He glanced at Xiang Tian’s group and said disdainfully, "You can’t possibly still be deluding yourselves into thinking someone will come to your rescue, can you?"

"Let me tell you the truth. We’ve long been aware of the changes in this vicinity. That’s precisely why we lured you here—to kill every last one of you."
