Chapter 2226: Search!
Seeing Zhou Yu’s face look somewhat grim, Zixiao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to tentatively ask:
"Senior Zhou, what do you plan to do next?"
Zhou Yu said solemnly:
"Originally, the plan was to cooperate with Black Whale True Man against that Sea Beast during the gathering."
"But now that Black Whale True Man has perished, I’ll have to rely on myself."
Upon hearing this, Zixiao was shocked.
"Senior Zhou, do you... still plan to make a move?"
"Without Black Whale True Man’s prestige as backing, I fear no one would be willing to go with you."
Zhou Yu said lightly:
"Since I’ve come here, I might as well give it a try."
"By the way, Daoist Zixiao, if I insist on giving it a try, how should I search for that Sea Beast?"
Hearing this, Zixiao and the woman in black robes exchanged a glance.
Then, Zixiao said:
"Sister Hei Yu, you know more about this; why don’t you tell Senior Zhou?"
The black-robed woman referred to as Hei Yu immediately said respectfully:
"Senior Zhou, in fact, currently, only Black Whale True Man could pinpoint that Sea Beast."
"Of course, it wasn’t due to his skills alone, but because of a spirit pet he raised."
"Spirit pet?"
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"Yes."
"The true form of that spirit pet is a black whale."
"This black whale has a special Heavenly Destiny Divine Power that allows it to accurately lock onto the Sea Beast’s aura within a sea area."
"However, this time, the black whale was also killed by the Black Butterfly along with Black Whale True Man."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll have to try my luck."
Seeing Zhou Yu’s persistence, Zixiao suddenly said:
"Senior Zhou, why not do this?"
"This time, Black Whale True Man sent out invitations, but some have yet to arrive!"
"Why not wait for them? With your strength, you can definitely awe them, and then take everyone along."
"The more the people, the greater the hope of finding it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu shook his head and said:
"Forget it, Zhou doesn’t want to force others."
"For those who haven’t come, if they want, let them come on their own; if not, so be it."
"By the way, Daoist Zixiao."
"If I’m able to successfully find and kill the Sea Beast, can you fix the Ancient Teleportation Array?"
Zixiao quickly shook her head:
"Senior Zhou, I don’t have that ability."
"But Sister Hei Yu is proficient in the Array Path."
"She can."
Zhou Yu was taken aback, looking at Hei Yu.
Hei Yu immediately said respectfully:
"Senior Zhou, I was originally invited by Black Whale True Man to help repair the Ancient Teleportation Array."
"I happen to know a bit about this array."
"If Senior Zhou can find the Void Stone, I can help repair the Ancient Teleportation Array."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled and said:
"That’s great."
"Then I’ll give it a try."
Zhou Yu made arrangements with Zixiao and Hei Yu on how to stay in contact and asked for directions to the general sea area.
Then, Zhou Yu took off and flew towards the Southern Sea Domain.
Watching Zhou Yu disappear into the horizon.
Hei Yu’s eyes still held a trace of shock.
"Sister Zixiao, I still can’t believe it, that Senior Zhou could truly kill that Black Butterfly."
"I feel his aura is similar to Black Whale True Man’s."
"I never thought..."
Zixiao smiled and said:
"Sister Hei Yu, you’re mistaken."
"Senior Zhou might be on par with Black Whale True Man in Cultivation Realm, but his methods are far beyond Black Whale True Man’s."
"By the way, Sister Hei Yu, what do you think about Senior Zhou being young yet powerful?"
Hei Yu was startled.
"Sister Zixiao, what do you mean?"
Zixiao teased:
"Sister Hei Yu, aren’t you looking for a suitable dual-cultivation partner?"
"I think Senior Zhou is very suitable."
"You’re beautiful, and your cultivation isn’t bad—if you take the initiative to propose, I think Senior Zhou might not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Hei Yu blushed slightly.
"Sister Zixiao, please don’t tease me."
"The gap in strength between Senior Zhou and me is too large; he wouldn’t fancy me!"
Zixiao laughed:
"It’s okay, no rush."
"Senior Zhou’s search for the Sea Beast won’t be solved in two or three years."
"I fear he will be around for quite some time."
"Sister Hei Yu, if you change your mind, use your time wisely."
Upon hearing this, Hei Yu looked at Zixiao.
"Sister Zixiao, what about you?"
"I remember Black Whale True Man also proposed a dual-cultivation with you, and you refused."
"If Black Whale True Man didn’t catch your eye, surely Senior Zhou would suit you?"
Upon hearing this, Zixiao subconsciously looked in the direction where Zhou Yu had left.
"My talent is inferior to yours, Sister Hei Yu."
"Senior Zhou wouldn’t fancy me."
Hei Yu laughed and said:
"You were just advising me."
"But you don’t dare to try yourself."
Zixiao came to her senses, then laughed:
"Sister Hei Yu, would you be willing to serve Senior Zhou with me?"
Hei Yu was taken aback, her face immediately turning crimson.
"If it’s with others, of course, Hei Yu wouldn’t agree."
"But if it’s with you, Sister, Hei Yu has no objections."
Upon hearing this, Zixiao smiled.
She held Hei Yu’s hand.
"Since that’s the case, when Senior Zhou returns, we shall give it a try."
"Hmm."
Hei Yu blushed and nodded.
...
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Zhou Yu was soaring across the blackened skies.
At that moment, suddenly, a colossal wave rose from beneath the calm sea surface.
The enormous wave surged directly at Zhou Yu.
Under the tumultuous wave, a silver-glowing strange fish leaped into the air, rushing straight at Zhou Yu’s abdomen.
Facing this situation, Zhou Yu remained calm, but Thunder Light flickered on his body.
The next moment, Zhou Yu’s figure vanished.
The strange fish missed its target, but it reacted swiftly, twisting the wave in mid-air.
It locked onto Zhou Yu once more, sweeping toward him.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu snorted coldly.
The next moment, a blinding Thunder Light transformed into a blade, slashing horizontally.
Crack!
The body of that strange fish, along with the enormous wave, was directly sliced by the slash.
Then, several more Thunder Lights flashed.
In a blink, they turned into a Thunder Net, enveloping the strange fish.
As Zhou Yu’s five fingers closed, the body of the strange fish was instantly obliterated by Thunder Light.
In the end, the enormous wave returned to the sea, leaving only a pool of blood.
And Zhou Yu, as if he had done something trivial, didn’t look back and continued flying into the distance.
Over three months had passed, and during this time, Zhou Yu had been patrolling the nearby seas.
He had experienced countless attacks like this.
Yet he still hadn’t found that Sea Beast.
After killing this strange fish, Zhou Yu landed on an unknown small island.
This was his resting place for the past month...
