Chapter 2232: Golden Flood Dragon
Zhou Yu carried the Jade Box while simultaneously activating the True Fire Escape Technique.
Under the cover of the True Fire Escape Technique, he easily evaded several waves of Divine Horn Clan scouts.
With his cautious avoidance, a few days later, Zhou Yu had already arrived a million li away.
By this point, he had completely broken out of the Divine Horn Clan’s encirclement.
Here, Zhou Yu finally relaxed. He took the Jade Box out from the Four Directions Realm.
He began to carefully study it.
Previously, in front of those two people, Zhou Yu naturally couldn’t examine it too much.
Afterwards, all along the way, in order to avoid the Divine Horn Clan scouts, Zhou Yu also never took it out to inspect.
Now that he had reached this place, he judged it was already safe.
So naturally, he had to give it a thorough inspection.
To see whether this Jade Box was really as that person had said, that it could only be opened through special means.
However, what Zhou Yu didn’t know was that the instant he took the Jade Box out from the Four Directions Realm, high above the already-breached city, an anomaly occurred within the Giant Battle Spirit Boat.
At this moment, inside the Giant Battle Spirit Boat, six Divine Horn Clan experts were seated in a circle in front of a massive Magic Disc Treasure.
On that Magic Disc Treasure, several flickering green dots could be seen.
One of them said coldly:
"Has that missing Jade Box been found?"
The person beside him replied in a gloomy tone:
"Not yet."
"This is really like seeing a ghost."
"Even if that Jade Box is placed inside a Storage Ring, it absolutely cannot escape this item’s monitoring."
"Yet there is one Jade Box that just happened to disappear."
"This shouldn’t be possible."
Someone else said:
"It’s possible the person carrying the Jade Box has some special concealment treasure."
"If that’s the case, then it’s troublesome."
As the few of them spoke, suddenly, on the Magic Disc Treasure, a green dot abruptly appeared.
"Look quickly, it’s appeared."
"It’s actually already at a place a million li away."
"Hurry and catch up to him, otherwise, before long, he’ll exceed the Magic Disc’s monitoring range."
"When that time comes, we won’t be able to find him again."
Among these six people, two immediately stood up.
"We two will go pursue and kill this person."
"Good, be careful."
"For him to carry the Jade Box out a million li in such a short time, he must have extraordinary means. After you find him, you can first tie him down. Once we retrieve the other Jade Boxes, we’ll immediately come to support."
"Alright."
With those words, four of the six rose together and flew out of the Giant Battle Spirit Boat, escaping toward different directions.
At this time, inside the room, only an old man and a middle-aged man remained.
The old man stared at the green dot farthest away on the Magic Disc Treasure, his eyes filled with gloom.
The middle-aged man beside him spoke:
"Elder Tu, what is it, you’re not at ease?"
Elder Tu spoke.
"For this person to be able to carry the Jade Box and escape over a million li in such a short time shows he truly has some methods."
"This old man is worried that sending only two people might lead to trouble."
The middle-aged man laughed:
"Elder Tu, don’t worry. The two who went to pursue and kill this person are experts of the Golden Flood Dragon Clan."
"So long as he isn’t an expert above the Integration Realm, he absolutely won’t escape their grasp."
"In this city, the highest Cultivation is only Void Refinement Realm. That person, barring accidents, at most is just at the Void Refinement Realm."
"At best, he might have some means to conceal his aura."
"Two Golden Flood Dragon Clan experts are more than enough to take him down."
"If some unexpected situation really does occur, it still won’t be too late for the two of us to act."
Hearing this, Elder Tu also nodded and said nothing more.
...
On the other side.
Zhou Yu was in a cave, studying the Jade Box.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, as if he had sensed something.
He immediately put away the Jade Box and, at the same time, activated the True Fire Escape Technique. His figure vanished in an instant.
After that, Zhou Yu walked out of the cave and looked up.
He saw two golden figures appear in the distant sky.
Within that golden radiance were actually the figures of two Flood Dragons.
At this moment, these two Golden Flood Dragons were searching for something.
They kept circling high in the sky.
Zhou Yu’s eyes flickered with a gloomy light.
Just now, when he landed here, he had deliberately searched the surroundings.
He was certain that within a thousand li radius, there was no other presence.
Yet these two Golden Flood Dragons suddenly appeared here, looking like they were searching. Clearly, they were coming for him.
But he had just returned to the Heavenly Origin World. How could two Golden Flood Dragons be after him?
In an instant, Zhou Yu thought of the Jade Box.
Could it be that these Golden Flood Dragons were here for the Jade Box?
Zhou Yu recalled what those two people had said when they handed the Jade Box to him.
He immediately understood.
This time, the Divine Horn Clan had gone so far as to mobilize the Giant Battle Spirit Boat to attack such a small city. The fundamental reason was most likely this Jade Box.
It seemed that what was sealed inside this Jade Box must be something extraordinary.
Unfortunately, he had just studied it for quite some time and discovered that, just as those two had said, this Jade Box bore a special Sealing. If the method of opening was wrong, it would immediately self-destruct.
Zhou Yu had no way to open it.
At this moment, he looked at the two Golden Flood Dragons in the sky, pondering what to do.
These two Golden Flood Dragons were both at the Void Refining Realm Early Stage. To him, if he really made a move, it wouldn’t take much effort to easily deal with them.
However, behind these two Golden Flood Dragons, there were definitely Divine Horn Clan experts keeping an eye on things.
After thinking it over, Zhou Yu still felt there was no need to take the risk.
He immediately activated the True Fire Escape Technique, intending to leave.
However, just then, as soon as he moved, those two Golden Flood Dragons suddenly sensed something.
The next moment, the two Golden Flood Dragons looked simultaneously toward the place where he was.
Right after, one of the Golden Flood Dragons let out a strange roar.
A visible sound wave spread out.
As it passed by Zhou Yu, it instantly shattered his True Fire Escape Technique.
Zhou Yu’s figure was revealed.
Zhou Yu was full of surprise; he hadn’t expected the Golden Flood Dragons to see through his disguise.
At the same time, the gazes of those two Golden Flood Dragons locked onto Zhou Yu in an instant, fierce light blazing in their eyes.
The next moment, the two Golden Flood Dragons roared and charged straight at Zhou Yu.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s expression darkened.
"You’re courting death!"
Right after, Zhou Yu raised his hand and pointed several times.
Several Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunders shot out in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a massive Thunder Net in the sky, enveloping the two Golden Flood Dragons within.
Yet the two Golden Flood Dragons had no sense at all of how terrifying this Thunder Net was.
They still charged at Zhou Yu fearlessly, not shrinking back from death.
After Zhou Yu set up the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array, he then waved his great hand, and the Titan Black Mountain flew out.
In an instant, it transformed into a thousand-zhang mountain, smashing down viciously toward the two Golden Flood Dragons.
The two Golden Flood Dragons had never imagined that Zhou Yu would have such a terrifying Magic Treasure in his hands.
By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
In their haste, they let out enraged roars. At the same time, their bodies rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye reached several hundred zhang.
Then they smashed heavily into the Titan Black Mountain...
