Chapter 386: Going Back To Understand The Rules

When Sima You Yue and the rest had passed through the portal, they reached Anyang City. It seemed like Old Man Devil did know this place rather well.

“You should go back. Bai Chuan and I will go back up. Yun Yi, you stay here.” Old Man Devil said.

“Master, are you not coming with us?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We can’t intervene on the going-ons here. Overcoming this problem falls on your shoulders.” Old Man Devil said.

“Why?” Sima You Yue could not understand.

“This is the agreement from above.” Old Man Devil said. “If we intervene on issues in the lower worlds, it will be raided by other powers.”

“There’s an agreement like that?”

“Of course. If we just intervened where we liked, wouldn’t the entire world be in chaos? The weak must be protected by a mandate.” Old Man Devil stroked his beard.

“What about the Sage Pavilion expanding their power?”

“Although the Sage Pavilion is expanding their power everywhere, the people up there are unable to put their hand on what goes on below. So if anything happens with the Sage Pavilion in Restless Continent, those up there are unable to intervene. Anyway, the only outcome is if the expansion succeeds, and they gain more followers, then Sage Pavilion members in other continents will be able to enter the Sage Pavilion directly.”

“So you’re saying that, if we destroy the Sage Pavilion members in the Restless Continent, those up there will not be able to send people to destroy the Yun and Guo family?” Sima You Yue started to understand.

“That’s right.” Old Man Devil said. “Each continent has its own vital energy, and the Yi Lin continent’s is the weakest. So it has become like this after tens of thousands of years later. Only you can settle what is going on here, but I believe that it will be no problem for you. I will come and check out the situation a few months later. If you guys are still alive, then I’ll bring you all out of here. Now, I’m going off.” With that, Old Man Devil took Ying Bai Chuan with him, created a portal and left at the blink of an eye.

Sima You Yue waved before the portal closed and hollered, “Come back to get us quickly, Master!” The portal closed before Old Man Devil could reply her, so there was also no way of figuring out if he had heard her or not.

“Young Valley Master, since this is not a emergency situation in your life, I can’t intervene as well.” Yun Yi expressed his position.

“Alright.” Sima You Yue nodded. “Let’s go to my family home to take a look.”

“I hope everything is alright.” Sima You Qing said worriedly. As they reached the Sima Family grounds, the guards were surprised to see them. All these young mistresses and sirs had left home for more than a year, and they had not expected them to return at this point in time.

“Young Master, Young Miss.”

Sima You Yue nodded at them indifferently, asking, “Where is my grandfather?”

“The House Master is not in the home. Now the Young Master is taking care of the issues in his stead.” The guard replied. The Young Master was Sima You Lin’s father, the one who was next in line, decided by Sima Tai when he had awoken. With that, Sima You Lin and the rest proceeded to look for his father. Sima Jing Ren was excited to see that Sima You Lin and the rest had returned, and seeing that their powers had surpassed his own, he was surprised, but was also thankful that Sima You Yue had brought them along back then.

“Father, what’s happened?”

Sima Jing Ren heaved a sigh, saying, “We’ve always been keeping an eye on the happenings at the Ocean Boundary. One month ago, the ocean beasts in the ocean started to get stirred up as if they were mad, and proceeded to attack the humans. Thankfully at that time we had people watching over the area, and we were able to take precautions.”

“So what’s it like now?”

“People of different powers have all rushed over. With such a situation, it’s impossible for anyone to stay out of it.” Sima Jing Ren said. “That’s not all, we do not seem to have the upper hand here. It feels like all the spirit beasts in the Ocean Boundary are coming.”

“Where have grandfather and the rest gone?” Sima You Lin asked.

“Everyone within the clan above the rank of a Spirit Overlord have gone. I’ve arranged for the rest of the people to go as well. Sima Jing Ren said.

“We’ll go too.” Sima You Yang said.

Sima Jing Ren wanted to ask them to stay in the home since they were weaker, but he remembered that they had now all surpassed him, and so he nodded, saying, “Let’s move now, then.”

And so, even before Sima You Yue and the rest had been at their home for more than a hour, they found themselves on the road again, flying straight towards the small city close to the Ocean Boundary. Sima Tai and Sima Lin and one elder stood at the city walls, looking over the situation at the Ocean Boundary, coming up with a plan to deal with what was going on.

“More and more ocean beasts are starting to gather here.” Sima Lin said, worriedly.

“What do the other families say?” Sima Tai asked.

“All the families have said that the situation is the same where they are. Especially for the Nalan family – they’re almost unable to hold on much longer.” The eldest Elder said.

“Several big fights have already broken out. There have been much losses on the ocean beasts’ side, yet they don’t seem to be retreating, but rather calling for more reinforcements. This is not a good sign.” Sima Tai said.

“The most shocking thing is that these ocean beasts can leave the ocean and come up to the shore to fight. This is extremely strange.” Sima Lie said.

“Have you noticed, that on each ocean beast, there is a ribbon of black smoke? This smoke even allows them to launch into the air and fly.” Sima Jun said.

“We must find out why there is such a disturbance amongst the ocean beasts.” A Sima family elder said, after keeping silent for a long time.

The Ocean Boundary had been quiet for the longest time, and the things that were happening right now were definitely not simply a coincidence. If they want the ocean beasts to retreat,they must find out the reason for the disturbance.

“We’ve sent people out to investigate, but those who have gone out have never come back. It’s not just our family members, but it is the same for the other families’ family members.” Sima Tai furrowed his eyebrows, saying. “Yesterday we sent two people out with the other families to form a group and investigate what was going on. If they are still unable to uncover the reason, then we might have to do it ourselves.”

“If only You Yue, that kid, were here. He has a divine beast, and will definitely be able to find out the reason.” Sima Lin said.

“But now they are at other continents, even if we wished that were so, it would be fruitless.” Sima Tai sighed.

“Aw, are you guys missing us?” Sima You Yue’s voice was heard, and the group of them thought that they were mass hallucinating. Sima You Yue and the rest walked over from the city walls, and smiled as they saw Sima Tai and the rest, and bowing to greet them.

“Aren’t you guys at another continent? When did you return?” Sima Lin asked in surprise.

Sima You Yue smiled, saying, “My Master sent us back here. We went back home and learnt that you all were here, so we rushed here.”

“You Lin, have you met your father?” Sima Tai asked.

“Father came with us, but he has gone to bring more people over.” Sima You Lin said.

“Your powers…?” Sima Lin felt that these people’s auras were similar to his own, and looked at the group of them in wonder.

Especially for Sima You Yue, they had become unable to sense her aura. Didn’t that mean that she had become of an even higher rank than them all?
