Right then, Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying followed behind Yang Tian, flying up into midair.

The four women were soaring through the sky, all extremely excited.

Sometimes gazing into the distance, sometimes cheering, sometimes drifting with the wind, they were incredibly happy.

Yang Tian glanced at the four women, a trace of a smile flashing in his eyes. He circulated his Spiritual Breath, taking the four women with him as he flew toward Jiangdong Province, and at the same time spread out his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings.

What made him frown was that within a radius of a hundred kilometers, he couldn't sense any fluctuation of Spiritual Breath at all.

Jiangdong Province was right next to East Sea City; if there really was some kind of water monster, Yang Tian would definitely sense it.

He shook his head. "For now, let's find my shiniang first."

Soon, Yang Tian brought Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying into Jiangdong Province, arriving at a mountainous area near the sea.

The place was all forested mountains, but since it was close to the coast, the tourism industry was doing okay.

Every now and then they could see some tourists moving through the woods.

Yang Tian and the others landed on an empty stretch of beach.

"Is this Taishan City in Jiangdong Province?"

Guo Jing pulled out her phone, opened the map, and confirmed their location.

"This Taishan City is close to the sea, but since it's all mountains and woods, it never really developed. Usually only some adventure-loving tourists come out here!"

Wu Yue added.

"Yang Tian, what did you come here for?"

Liu Shi looked over at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian didn't say anything. Instead, he spread out his Divine Sense to probe around, and soon spotted Wu Zetian.

"Seeing him this anxious, could it be that something happened to those two old flames of his?"

Wang Ying muttered without thinking.

"Ling Ying and Eliza are in trouble. They were taken by a water monster." Yang Tian turned back, looking seriously at Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying. "I hope whatever grudges there are, you put them aside for now. Once we find them, we'll talk again."

"Water monster?"

Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying looked at each other, a hint of excitement appearing in their eyes.

These four beautiful president-types were originally urban white-collar elites from a big city. The moment they heard "water monster" they got excited. They didn't care that Ling Ying and Eliza were Yang Tian's old flames. "Yang Tian, let's catch this water monster properly. I want to see whether such a thing really exists in this world!"

"Mm, let's go!"

Yang Tian circulated his Spiritual Breath, taking Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying as he flew toward a nearby coastal pier.

There, Yang Tian and the others saw Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was standing at the edge of the pier. Beside her, several men had her surrounded, fawning over her, flattering her, trying to persuade her.

Yang Tian and the four women—Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi, and Wang Ying—flashed over and landed beside Wu Zetian.

"Yang Tian, you're here…"

When Wu Zetian saw Yang Tian, she hurried over.

"Shiniang, how come you're here?"

Yang Tian asked.

"After Ling Ying and Eliza had their accident, I wanted to call the police, but the local precinct said they wouldn't handle it. They said the Water God wasn't someone they could afford to offend!"

Wu Zetian said quickly.

The men behind her immediately grinned and crowded forward. "Miss, I told you already, aside from us masters, no one will help you!"

"As long as you sleep with me once, you'll be infused with my divine aura, and you'll be able to fight the Water God in the sea!"

"If you bear my child, that child will be the son of a god and can destroy the Water God!"

For a moment, a series of lewd voices rang out.

"What a bunch of trash!"

Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying exchanged looks, their eyes full of disgust.

A cold gleam flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

He flicked his hand, and a surge of Spiritual Breath shot out. With a single strike, he smashed all those men straight into the seawater.

"Oh my god, why am I flying? It's the Water God!"

The few men cried out in terror.

The pier, which had been bustling with people, erupted into panic at their cries. "The Water God appeared again? Oh my god, run…"

In no time, the once-crowded pier was completely deserted.

Yang Tian frowned. "There really is a Water God?"

"Normally, these are all just folk legends, most of them made up by Superiors to keep the masses ignorant!"

Wang Ying said knowledgeably.

"No, there really is a Water Demon. It flew out and took Ling Ying and Eliza away." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Wu Zetian said nervously.

"But I couldn't sense any fluctuation of Spiritual Breath within a hundred kilometers nearby."

Yang Tian said quickly.

"I can't sense any Spirit Breath Wave either, but it's possible they're in an Abyss deep in the sea."

Wu Zetian said.

Yang Tian nodded. "Alright then, we'll think of a way to enter the sea and investigate!"

"Enter the sea?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying all became very excited.

After all, the ocean was a mysterious place; even modern science probably couldn't fully explore it.

"Let's go to Haihua Village."

Wu Zetian said.

"Haihua Village?"

Yang Tian quickly called Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying to follow behind Wu Zetian. At first he thought this Haihua Village was nearby.

But to his surprise, Wu Zetian walked to the shoreline near the pier and hailed a yacht. "Captain, we want to go to Haihua Village."

"Haihua Village?"

The moment the captain heard that, his face changed. "You want to go to Haihua Village? I'm not taking your business!"

Yang Tian frowned. Haihua Village made people react like they'd heard a death sentence?

Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi and Wang Ying looked at each other, even more curious. They were all city white-collar types; when had they ever run into this sort of legend? One by one they obediently fell silent.

"Even if you don't dare get close to Haihua Village, you can still take us in that direction."

Wu Zetian said again.

The captain hesitated, but his face was still deathly pale.

"How about this: take us to Haihua Village, and I'll give you a hundred thousand."

Guo Jing spoke up.

"A hundred thousand?" The captain jolted, frozen for a moment, but then he thought of the horror of Haihua Village and shook his head. "No way…"

"I'll give you five hundred thousand. You take us near Haihua Village. You don't have to get close to it. Just drop us off when we get there, that's all. That okay?"

Wu Yue said impatiently.

"Really not going close to Haihua Village?"

The captain looked seriously at Yang Tian and the others.

"Relax, we won't force you!"

Liu Shi said irritably.

"Alright then, get on board. But you have to pay the five hundred thousand up front before I set out!"

The captain clenched his teeth, like he'd made up his mind.
