Chapter 618: Pathetic bandits

At this moment, there were a few hybrid sea fish folk in armour who had entered from another part of the island.

“Boss, it looks like it’s about to rain heavily.”

The one walking in the centre lifted his head up to the sky, saying, “Why are there thunder clouds all of a sudden?”

“Hey, Boss, there’s a human over there!”

“Oh there really is. This is the deepest part of the Ninth Star Ocean. What is a human doing here?”

“She seems to be cultivating. I don’t think she’s noticed us.”

“I heard that the Violet Water Clan’s queen has recently adopted a human daughter. It shouldn’t be that person, right?”

“It’s possible. However, who would cultivate here?”

“Boss, we came here to listen out for information about the Violet Water Clan. If we kidnap the princess, the King will definitely reward us.”

“That’s right, boss. Once we return, we will no longer have to put up with their maltreatment!”

The boss had hesitated initially. However, when he heard what his underlings said, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. We’ll take that woman back with us.”

“Boss, she seems to be advancing in rank. She’s just an advanced rank divine king. She’s so weak, I wonder why the Violet Water Queen would take an interest in her?”

“It’s good that she’s weak. That makes it easier for us to capture her.” The boss grinned, “Two of you. Catch her and make sure there are no violet water clansmen around.”

“Okay.”

The few of the eyed the surroundings of the island closely, but didn’t find anyone. As such, they strutted boldly to Sima You Yue.

“Go, catch her.” The boss ordered.

They started to get close to Sima You Yue, but before they could reach her, the array lit up and kept them outside.

“Hey, why does it seem like something is blocking our way?”

“We can’t get in. What is this?”

“Boss, we can’t get through”

“Boss this ray of light is strange. It seems to be protecting her?”

“It is strange. Move aside, let me try.” The Boss walked over and was similarly blocked outside. “You guys, move away.”

The boss punched the array, but not only did the array not disperse, it seemed as if some strength had recoiled and attacked his arm, throwing him backwards.

“Boss, boss!”

The bandits ran over to pull their boss up and they clamored to ask, “Boss, are you okay?”

“This ray is incredible.” The Boss crawled back up, and looked at Sima You Yue with fear.

“What’s wrong, Boss?”

“You, attack the ray of light.” The boss pointed at one and instructed.

“Okay.” That person did not question anything and opened his mouth towards the array, shooting out a column of water.

Just like it happened with the boss, the column of water did not only shoot past the ray of light and land on Sima You Yue, but reflected and sent him flying.

“Splash-”

The group was pushed backwards as they looked at the ray of light with surprise.

“Boss, what is this? It actually reflected my attack!”

“I don’t know, but it feels terrifying.”

Wu La Li and Wu La Xiu watched the events unfold from the waters. They initially planned to intervene and get rid of the people if they dared get close to Sima You Yue. They would not let them interfere with her advancement. However, they didn’t expect that she would settle them herself.

Those sea folk had never left the Ninth Star Ocean, and never saw human’s arrays. That was why they had no idea what it was. They tried once again, only for a repeat of what happened earlier. They were so afraid that they did not dare continue.

“Boss, why does it seem like the clouds overhead are getting denser?”

“Duh? If the thunderclouds from before didn’t get denser during a thunderstorm, then would it thin out?” He punched that underling. He was already troubled enough, but this guy was still talking rubbish.

“No, Boss. The dark clouds are different from the ones during a thunderstorm!” Someone cried out, “Also, look at those clouds! Why do I feel a kind of terror when I look at them?”

“Me too.” Someone else affirmed.

“Boss, why do I feel like those dark clouds are not the usual thunderstorm clouds, but are more like tribulation clouds?”

“Tribulation clouds? Could it be that this person is undergoing a tribulation?”

“Hot damn, it’s really a tribulation cloud. It’s no wonder my heart kept pounding. What are you still doing here? Aren’t you going to scram? Do you want that tribulation cloud to drag us in as well?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The group climbed over themselves to escape, while Wu La Li and Wu La Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. Once they had run far away, Wu La Li glanced at Wu La Xiu. They had a mutual understanding as he quietly headed towards where the group escaped, then returned shortly after.

“Settled?” Wu La Li asked.

Wu La Xiu nodded, “I sent them back for interrogation. These goons really thought that nobody was around the shore.”

Wu La Li raised his head and looked towards the clouds, saying, “I keep feeling as if the lightning tribulation’s range will be larger than we initially expected. Go and notify the creatures here to get farther away.”

“Relax, I’ve already done so.” Wu La Xiu said.

“Then we should head farther as well.”

The two of them retreated hastily, giving Sima You Yue even more room.

The clouds continued to increase in density, but the array was still more intense than the lightning tribulation. It seemed as if the entire area was shrouded in the thunderclouds. A sea of black covered the sky. The fish folk underwater could feel the terror as they fled in all directions. Even the palace underwater could sense that something was up.

“What’s going on?” Wu La Mai walked out of the palace with Shui Qing Man and asked.

“King, it seems as if somebody is advancing.” Cheng Xiang swayed as he came over.

“Advancing? Why will an advancement cause such a huge commotion?” Wu La Li said.

All those who had turned into human appearances had gone through lightning tribulations as well. They naturally knew that it was no small feat. However, this was the first time that they had seen something on this scale.

“Father, Mother.” The seventh son walked in. He was also shocked by the current situation.

“Father, what’s going on? Why are all the fish folk in the ocean escaping?”

“Someone is advancing.” Wu La Mai said.

“Advancing? Second Bro, is someone from our clan going to transform?”

Wu La Lu shook his head, ‘Nope.”

Their clansmen who could transform into human appearance could report to the royal clan. The royal clan would then help them prepare what they needed to increase the likelihood of their success. However, they had not heard of any news recently. It was possible that it was not one of their clansmen.

“Could it be that someone from the other clan have come here to advance?”

“Oh no!’ Shui Qing Man cried out, giving everyone a shock.

“Qing Man, what’s wrong?” Wu La Mai held on to Shui Qing Man’s hand and asked.

“You Yue told me once before that,after she advanced to the divine rank, she would always go through a lightning tribulation. The guard told me earlier on, that Dear Li and Dear Xiu had taken her to the shore. Could she be the one who caused this?” Shui Qing Man postulated.

“What?” Everyone was shocked. Was there someone who would advance like this.

“No way, I have to go up and take a look.” Shui Qing Man shook Wu La Mai’s hand off and transformed into her original appearance to dash speedily towards the surface.
