Mortal Seeking Immortal

The human-headed snake-bodied monster looked at the distance with a fierce look in its eyes.

Under Ye Zhou's constant urging, Yu Zhou's speed has reached its maximum, but the beast tide behind him is chasing him closely, approaching him at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this rate, it may take less than half an hour for the beast tide to engulf him.

Ye Zhou's heart sank, and he began to think about how to escape.

As the beast tide continued to approach, Ye Zhou noticed the human-headed snake-bodied monster standing in the beast tide. Ye Zhou felt a terrifying breath from this monster and guessed that the monster's cultivation was at least in the Nascent Soul Realm.

The monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm generally have their spiritual intelligence opened, so how could they appear in the beast tide for no reason? Could this beast tide be caused by this monster?

Ye Zhou saw that the monster had been looking into the distance, as if he didn't care about him, and guessed that this monster might have another reason to stir up this beast tide.

I heard that sea monsters often fight over territory, and I wonder if this beast tide was also caused by this. If so, maybe there is still a chance of survival.

Ye Zhou controlled the jade boat to fly forward quickly to escape the beast tide, while paying attention to the movement of the human-headed snake-bodied monster. It was always looking at a certain point in the distance.

After noticing this, Ye Zhou's mind moved, and he urged the jade boat to change direction slightly. Although it was still moving forward to escape the beast tide, the direction began to gradually deviate from the position where the human-headed snake-bodied monster was looking.

Half a quarter of an hour later, just when the beast tide was about to catch up with Ye Zhou, Ye Zhou urged the jade boat to successfully escape from the edge of the beast tide.

More than a dozen low-level monsters at the edge of the beast tide looked at Ye Zhou with green eyes, as if they wanted to swallow Ye Zhou, but because of the power of the human-headed snake-bodied monster, they did not dare to leave the beast tide without permission, and could only watch Ye Zhou leave.

After escaping from the beast tide, Ye Zhou did not dare to stop, but continued to drive the jade boat towards the direction of Donghai City.

After escaping from the beast tide for a long distance, Ye Zhou looked back at the beast tide that had shrunk into a black shadow on the horizon, knowing that the sea would be in turmoil in the next few days.

Ye Zhou did not dare to delay on the road for too long, fearing that he would be affected by the fight between the monsters. He did not rest all the way and hurriedly drove the boat back to Donghai City.

Donghai City Wharf.

Mu Bo was standing beside a merchant ship engraved with the Mu Mansion logo with a serious expression, directing his servants to load the goods onto the ship.

At this time, a Mu Mansion manager hurriedly walked to Mu Bo and said, "Mu Bo, all the goods have been loaded onto the ship, and we can set off."

Mu Bo nodded and was about to step onto the merchant ship, but he saw a figure flying from the sea with a sword, and then the sword flashed, and the figure landed in front of him.

This figure was Ye Zhou who hurried back. In order to avoid attracting attention, Ye Zhou found an uninhabited island near the sea, put away the jade boat he got from the monk surnamed Feng, and used the flying sword to travel.

The moment Mu Bo saw Ye Zhou, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted to Ye Zhou and said, "Master Ye."

Ye Zhou raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force helped Mu Bo up. Then he looked at the Mu Mansion merchant ship and said lightly, "Mu Bo, you are welcome. Are you going to sea?"

Mu Bo nodded and told Ye Zhou the destination of this trip.

Ye Zhou's eyes condensed when he heard this. The place where Mu Bo and his friends were going was not far from the destination of the beast tide. They might be affected by the beast tide this time, so he told Mu Bo about the beast tide on the way back. Mu Bo's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed his hands to thank Ye Zhou for his reminder and asked people to unload the goods.

At this time, Mu Bo said to Ye Zhou again: "Master Ye, the clan leader has something to ask you these days. He said that he has found out the whereabouts of the two things you are looking for."

Ye Zhou was delighted. He was just worried about where to find the Red Spirit Black Ren Fruit and the Six Ding Black Crystal. He didn't expect to get news as soon as he came back.

Ye Zhou said: "Where is Master Mu now?"

Mu Bo said: "The clan leader is now handling affairs in the clan. He specifically told me that if I meet Master Ye, I can bring Master Ye to see him."

Mu Bo personally drove Ye Zhou to the Mu Mansion.

In the study room of the Mu Mansion, Master Mu was reading the jade slip in the room when Ye Zhou came in. Seeing Ye Zhou coming in, Master Mu put down the jade slip with a smile on his face, came forward, led Ye Zhou to sit down, and personally poured tea for Ye Zhou.

Master Mu said: "Senior Ye, I heard from Mu Bo that you encountered a beast tide at sea?"

Ye Zhou nodded, and didn't want to say more about this matter. He was eager to know the whereabouts of the Red Spirit Black Ren Fruit and the Six Ding Black Crystal.

When Chief Mu saw Ye Zhou admit it, he looked at Ye Zhou with a look of surprise in his eyes. Although he already knew that Ye Zhou was not an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, he was still shocked that Ye Zhou could escape safely from the beast tide.

Everyone on Wuliang Continent knows that the beast tide at sea is very dangerous. Even if a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan encounters a beast tide, there is no guarantee that he can escape safely from the beast tide.

Chief Mu saw that Ye Zhou looked normal and his clothes were neat, and he did not look injured. The surprise in his eyes was even greater, and at the same time, he became a little curious about Ye Zhou's cultivation.

Is Ye Zhou really only at the foundation-building great perfection stage? He also said that he hid his true cultivation.

Ye Zhou said, "Patriarch Mu, Mu Bo said that you have found out the whereabouts of the Red Spirit Black Ren Fruit and the Six Ding Black Crystal. I wonder where they are now?"

Patriarch Mu nodded and said, "Two days ago, the people I sent to Kongtong City came back and told me that the largest auction house in Kongtong City, Liuxing Pavilion, will hold a large auction in the near future. At that time, the cultivators from several surrounding cities will go to participate in the auction."

"From the information released in advance by Liuxing Pavilion, they have collected many rare treasures to hold this auction, and the Red Spirit Xuan Ren Fruit that Senior Ye wants is among them."

"Senior Ye, you are my benefactor. At that time, I will definitely use the power of the whole clan to bid for that Red Spirit Xuan Ren Fruit for you."

Ye Zhou did not refuse after hearing this. He is currently short of money. It is unrealistic to rely on the spiritual stones he has to bid for the Red Spirit Xuan Ren Fruit from the hands of the cultivators. If he relies on the financial resources of the Mu family, there may be some hope.

Ye Zhou knows that the Mu clan leader's move is not just to repay his gratitude, but more to hope that he can become a guest elder of the Mu family, so that he can help the Mu family in the future.

Ye Zhou nodded and said, "Thank you, Chief Mu, but I am used to being free and unfettered, and I don't want to be bound by the false title of guest elder. If I offend my enemies in the world of immortal cultivation in the future, I will inevitably implicate you because of my status as a guest elder."

Hearing this, Chief Mu showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Ye Zhou said again, "Clan Chief Mu, although I cannot be a guest elder of your Mu family, if the Mu family is in trouble in the future, I can help them once."

The disappointment in Chief Mu's eyes faded a little.
