Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1037 - 1035: North Ming Ferryman [First Update]
Chapter 1037: Chapter 1035: North Ming Ferryman [First Update]
Changlong Island.
Yun Qianyue looked at the towering figure in front of her with a nervous face.
The person was none other than the Alliance Hierarch of the Giant Whale Alliance, Shark Dominator.
His cultivation was at the Supreme Realm Peak.
The patriarch of the Mad Shark clan.
The total Alliance Hierarch of the Giant Whale Alliance!
This man, with golden fins on his back and an aura of domineering excellence, was one of the most awe-inspiring powerhouses above the endless North Sea.
"What? Yun Wanli is hiding and dare not to meet me?" Shark Dominator said coldly.
His voice was sonorous and frosty.
Like a blade passing through the ears, causing a tingling sensation on the scalp.
Yun Qianyue felt helpless inside, and as Shark Dominator’s cold gaze lingered on him, he felt a chill all over his body as if he had fallen into an ice cellar that lasted for thousands of years, with bone-chilling cold relentlessly assaulting him from all directions.
A Heaven Venerate Realm expert, the deputy Island Master of Changlong Island.
Yet, at this moment he had to be meticulously cautious, forcing a smile as he said, "Island Master Shark is joking, my island master is truly not on the island. Several days ago, the Sky Alliance’s chief sent a message calling for our island master to go to Changkong Island, and he left early!"
"Hmph!"
Shark Dominator snorted coldly, clearly not believing Yun Qianyue’s words.
But the Sky Alliance was ultimately a force not weaker than their Giant Whale Alliance, and behind the Sky Alliance was the support of Beiming Palace, the overlord of the North Sea. He also didn’t want to be too overbearing.
Upon this thought.
Shark Dominator spoke with an indifferent face: "I will take your word for it now. Since Yun Wanli is not here, it’s the same to look for you. You should know why I have come to Changlong Island, right?"
"I know!"
Yun Qianyue nodded, his scalp tingling as he said, "You should be here for the death of Young Alliance Hierarch Sha Tongtian and Elder Sha Duxiang!"
"Since you know why I am here, then you should know what to do, right?" Shark Dominator spoke calmly.
But from his tightly clenched fists beneath his sleeves, one could tell that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Yun Qianyue felt an immense pressure.
It was as though an invisible palm was clutching his throat, creating a suffocating and oppressive feeling.
He took a deep breath and nodded, "Please follow me!"
A moment later.
Shark Dominator saw the corpses of Sha Tongtian and the other, their bodies lying in crystal coffins.
Crack!
Crackling!
The innate power around Shark Dominator uncontrollably leaked out, roaming through the void and emitting a series of crackling sounds like popping beans. His eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke coldly, "A fatal strike, such vicious methods!"
His hands were trembling slightly.
The Mad Shark clan had extremely low fertility rates, and Shark Dominator had only one son.
He had invested all his heart and soul into Sha Tongtian.
But now...
Everything was destroyed!
Shark Dominator turned to look at Yun Qianyue: "Who is the murderer?"
Yun Qianyue’s face showed difficulty: "I am truly sorry, I do not know who the murderer is. By the time we discovered the young alliance hierarch’s body, the murderer had already fled..."
"Really don’t know?"
Shark Dominator’s eyes narrowed, as if he could see right through people.
Yun Qianyue clenched his teeth firmly, shaking his head with conviction.
Ever since he learned that Xiao Yi still had dozens of shadow stones on him, Yun Wanli had instructed him to never reveal Xiao Yi’s killing of Sha Tongtian.
The two of them confronted each other for a moment.
Shark Dominator withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I hope you’re not lying to me, because if I find out later that you’ve deceived me, even if it means depleting the Giant Whale Alliance’s resources, I will ensure Changlong Island is expelled!"
Yun Qianyue stood with his fists clenched, remaining silent.
With a wave of Shark Dominator’s hand, he rolled the corpses of Sha Tongtian and the other into the storage ring, then soared into the sky.
It was not until a long time after his departure...
That Yun Qianyue’s tense body finally relaxed, as he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile: "Truly a terrifying existence at the Supreme Realm Peak, just the impact of his aura was enough to cause me light injuries..."
His eyes were deep as he gazed towards the sky.
In the midst of the changing clouds, as if seeing Xiao Yi’s figure, he murmured to himself, "Xiao Yi, oh Xiao Yi, you really have put me in a terrible spot..."
......
Within the boundless North Sea.
A colossal floating palace hovered above the Azure Sea.
Nine enormous water columns cascaded from above the palace, hanging between heaven and earth like waterfalls made from a drunken galaxy, countless streams of clear water roaring down, merging into the North Sea.
It was as if this endless North Sea originated here.
The palace soared high into the clouds, surrounded by auspicious clouds, dazzling and brilliant.
Above the main gate, a plaque was hung.
Written on the plaque in grand, flourishing strokes were three characters—Beiming Palace!
The void trembled.
A figure materialized in front of Beiming Palace, and it was none other than Shark Dominator, his expression somewhat complex as he gazed at the immense palace before him.
Beiming Palace!
The undisputed ruler of the North Sea!
Towering above all else.
His lifelong ambition had been to elevate the Giant Whale Alliance to a stature truly comparable to Beiming Palace, but as things currently stood, the Giant Whale Alliance was still too insignificant in front of Beiming Palace.
"Giant Whale Alliance, Shark Dominator, has come to pay a visit!" Shark Dominator declared in a deep voice.
"..."
Beiming Palace was silent for a moment.
Swish!
One of the water columns suddenly trembled, splitting off a strand of water that lay across the void.
After a short while...
An old man clad in a straw raincoat with a hat, poling a flat boat, sailed across this suspended river from afar, drawing closer at a steady pace, eventually arriving in front of Shark Dominator.
"In the North Ming there is a fish, which is called the Kun. The Kun is so huge; I do not know how many thousand li it measures..."
A series of melodious singing, alongside the approach of the flat boat, gradually drifted over.
One couldn’t clearly discern the old man’s face, yet he emanated a gentle vastness like the sea embracing streams: "Alliance Hierarch Shark visits my North Ming, what brings you here?"
North Ming Ferryman!
That was the identity of the elder before him.
Shark Dominator dared not underestimate the elder before him; he vaguely remembered a legend from above the North Sea that the ferryman of Beiming Palace could cross over Yin and Yang, divide the realms, and possessed unimaginable powers.
His purpose in coming here was to seek an audience with the ferryman.
To learn the identity of the murderer who killed Sha Tongtian.
Shark Dominator respectfully said, "My son fell victim to a traitor, I hope the ferryman can help me ferry across Yin and Yang to find the true culprit!"
"You should know the rules!" said the ferryman.
"I do!"
Shark Dominator waved his hand, and a chest of origin stones fell upon the flat boat.
Inside were a full million origin stones.
Even for someone like Shark Dominator, parting with a million origin stones at once was exceedingly painful, but to find the murderer and avenge the death of his son and brother, he had no hesitation.
The ferryman nodded his head, and with a casual wave of the paddle in his hand.
Hum!
The suspended river was abruptly torn apart, as if beneath the fissure lay another world—the Spirit World!
"Sha Tongtian, your soul returns..."
The ferryman’s eyes, one black and one white, as if separating Yin and Yang, rotated against one another, mysterious and complex runes flowing within his eyes.
After a moment...
A beam of white light burst forth from the dark world.
In front of Shark Dominator, it revealed the scene where Xiao Yi executed Sha Tongtian and Sha Duxiang.
From within that scene...
Shark Dominator saw Xiao Yi’s face clearly and came to know his identity.
This caused the Evil Qi within Shark Dominator to become even more condensed and terrifying...
Boom!
Within the crevice of the river, a claw suddenly reached out and violently shattered the scene before him.
With a loud bang.
The crevice of the river closed back up.
The light around the ferryman quietly dissipated; he did not give Shark Dominator another look, poling his boat, he returned to Beiming Palace.
Leaving Shark Dominator alone, his fists tightly clenched, his eyes filled with a cold murderous intent: "Xiao Yi of the Southern State? I swear to tear you to pieces, to quell the hate within my heart..."
