Because the fog had dissipated and visibility was very high, Ji Yuan flew directly on the clouds from a not-too-high place above the fleet. In addition, the giant whale made a lot of noise when it went out to sea, so the scene of the giant whale carrying the immortal away was basically seen by most of the crew members on the deck of each ship.
With Ji Yuan's departure, the difficult decision fell on Qiao Yong and the entire fleet. However, before Qiao Yong summoned the key personnel from each ship, nearby ships had already started asking questions, either by shouting or with simple gestures.
Qiao Yong looked into the distance, then looked around.
"Do you want to go home?"
The deputy and crew members beside him all looked at him. No one answered, but the desire in their eyes was obvious.
"Okay, gather the captain and prepare to discuss the return trip. If there is really a responsibility, I will take it on! Let's go!"
"I obey your orders!"
Several deputies nearby responded excitedly.
If they had returned like this, the entire fleet would have been convicted. But now with the immortal named Ji, there is a good chance that they can be pardoned. Even if there is punishment, it will be limited to a small scope.
Qiao Yong looked towards the southwest. They had circled overseas for a long time, but with the Sinan compass, they were always recording and drawing nautical charts, so they at least knew the approximate direction of their return. The southwest direction should be the legendary Dongtu Yunzhou, but no one knew how far it was.
. . .
On the back of the giant whale, Ying Ruoli looked back at the fleet in the distance.
"Uncle Ji, do they believe it? Mortals' desires are very strong. Even if this is not their desire, they are afraid of the emperor's desire."
It’s not that the Dragon Girl didn’t trust her Uncle Ji’s credit, of course. But she had also paid a huge price and searched for eight years for something. Even if she saw the immortal coming, how could she be easily sent away by just one sentence
Ji Yuan didn't look back, but just said calmly.
"When I left, I believed it 50%. After they gathered important officials to discuss, I believed it 70%. After those officials returned to their ships and the news spread among the fleet, I believed it 100%.
"As for what will happen next, it is not difficult to guess. If the old emperor is still alive, he will not do anything to them after learning the news, relying on his desire. If the old emperor is dead, the new emperor will most likely make a break for these wandering ministers, not to mention that the national teacher is still here."
Ying Ruoli just thought about it and smiled without worrying about it anymore. Instead, she stepped forward and said to General Giant Whale.
"You've been swimming for almost two months. How long will it take?"
"Don't worry, Madam Ruoli. We will soon be out of the East China Sea. However, when we pass the Desolate Sea, the sea will become even wilder. The aquatic creatures will also be difficult to tame without the restraint of the Four Seas True Dragons. Please be careful, Madam Ruoli and Mr. Ji."
Ying Ruoli responded indifferently.
"Do you think I've never been to the Desolate Sea? As for Uncle Ji, you don't have to worry about him."
"Yes Yes!"
General Giant Whale swam with all his might, and his speed was a little faster than before.
After another ten days, the color of the sea water began to change subtly, and it seemed to become more turbid. The waves became more turbulent, and there were strong winds raging almost every moment. Sometimes, strong winds from the sky would even blow down to the low surface of the sea, causing huge waves.
This is still the situation on the sea surface. Although the situation on the seabed seems to be much more stable and fish and shrimps are prosperous, the wisps of water spirit energy seem to have changed, sweeping in the rapids like gusts of underwater strong winds. If you don't find a calm place, you can't easily practice with it.
It is obviously very difficult for General Giant Whale to swim here. There will almost certainly be strong winds raging in some places with huge waves. Whenever this happens, General Giant Whale will dive deep underwater and swim back and forth.
The journey was originally smooth, but now it seems extremely bumpy. An ordinary person would feel dizzy and nauseous if riding on the giant whale's back.
But it's not that there are no calm places. It's just that General Giant Whale said that such places are likely to be where the Wild Sea Monsters like to stay, so it's better to avoid trouble and just go around them.
Ji Yuan and Ying Ruoli also agreed with this point, so after circling this small area of the Desolate Sea for a few days, they finally entered the relatively stable four seas, and this time it was the North Sea.
The place where the East China Sea and the North Sea meet is actually only the inner part. A large part of the outermost part is separated by the desolate sea, but the distance is not too far. Now that he has arrived at the North Sea, General Giant Whale also breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking far out at the sea, General Giant Whale spoke with a little excitement.
"If we swim northeastward for another two or three days, we will reach Junmu's Longyan Island!"
Hearing this, Ying Ruoli became obviously a little excited, and Ji Yuan could see her subconsciously pinching the hem of her skirt.
"Now it's time to think about that evil dragon. You only know that he came from the Desolate Sea, but you don't know whether he has any friends or relatives or any forces. You should ask your mother about this matter."
"Yes, Mr. Ji is right!"
General Giant Whale responded honestly but he was very excited in his heart. The evil dragon was going to die anyway, he had to die anyway!
Although he was already exhausted, General Giant Whale didn't care about so much. Instead, he sped up again and swam madly towards Longyan Island.
Two days later, the exhausted giant whale general sank to the bottom of the sea, opened his mouth and swallowed wildly, sucking large groups of fish, shrimps and crabs around him into his mouth to replenish his strength.
After General Giant Whale recovered a little, he dragged Ji Yuan and Ying Ruoli forward for a long time. An island covered by dark clouds appeared in their sight, and lightning struck the island from time to time.
"Longyan Island? Why are the thunderclouds still there?"
Ying Ruoli was half excited and half confused.
"It's all right, Madam Ruoli, please rest assured. Seeing these dark clouds means everything is fine. Madam Jun has been annoyed by all these years and is always sulking. When she gets angry, thunderclouds will form over Longyan Island, and there will only be thunder but no rain!"
Ji Yuan looked at the Giant Whale General under his feet. He was so angry that he was like thunder. He was not weak among the dragons and floodwaters, right
"Your mother seems to be quite powerful. Why doesn't she deal with the harassing evil dragon herself?"
"Mr. Ji, Jun's mother is certainly powerful, but that evil dragon is not bad either. According to the rules of dragons and dragons, if..."
Ying Ruoli knew that Ji Yuan didn't know much about this, and said with a slightly red face.
"According to the ancient rules of dragons and dragons, in this situation, if mother fights the evil dragon herself, it would be fine if she wins, but if she loses... then..."
Ji Yuan quickly raised his hand to stop the Dragon Girl from speaking any further.
"I understand, I understand. That's not right... Then why don't you come over and fight that evil dragon?"
Ying Ruoli quickly waved her hands and shook her head, her head like a rattle.
"I'm different! I'm different! I'm here to seek revenge. The ancient rules have nothing to do with me. Even if I lose, the worst that can happen is death. And I won't lose. Not to mention that I have Uncle Ji's Qingteng Sword, even my single-wheeled Taoism is the same!"
The Dragon Girl gradually calmed down. She said this with great confidence, but she did have the capital to be so confident.
"Go meet my mother first!"
"yes!"
General Giant Whale dived underwater and swam towards the bottom of Longyan Island. Before he got close to Longyan Island, he found a small group of strange-looking water monsters blocking the way. The leader was covered in fish scales but looked three-quarters human, with a long tail behind him. He was a person who had refined the transverse bone.
"Stop, the island ahead is Longyan Island, where my master and mistress live, don't get close!"
Before General Giant Whale could say anything, Ying Ruoli narrowed her eyes, reached out her hand, and instantly grabbed the guy who had spoken to her, pinched his neck and asked in a cold voice.
"Your master? What's his name? Where is he?"
"Uh... You, uh, are so brave... My master is Hua Long..."
Seeing that Ying Ruoli was so angry that she was about to crush this guy to death, Ji Yuan quickly drew out a small ray of sword energy and shot it with his finger, hitting the back of the monster's neck. The latter fainted in pain, his eyes turned white.
"Keep it to lead the way, and take care of the rest."
Just as Ji Yuan finished speaking, General Giant Whale laughed "Hehehe..." and opened his huge mouth to suck again.
Those monsters who were still in a daze waved their arms and legs in the water to escape, but eventually they all fell into the giant whale's mouth. A sound of bones being crushed was heard, indicating that they had become nutrients for the giant whale general.
There is also a water palace under Longyan Island, most of which are hidden in the hollow caves under the island. The arrival of General Giant Whale made the aquatic creatures of Longyan Island overjoyed, and the two fish ladies were so happy that they rushed to the outside of Junmu's pavilion.
"Report to the Lord Mother, General Giant Whale is back!"
A woman in a blue robe in the room also stood up from the bed.
"Did he really call Mo Rong over?"
"I haven't seen Master Mo yet, you'll know if you go out and take a look!"
Yu Niang's voice was filled with joy, which made the woman feel a little uneasy. Could it be that that guy has come
Walking out of the cave hall, the huge body of General Giant Whale was crawling on the seabed, and in front of him stood a man and a woman. The man did not know the woman, but she had many similarities with him in terms of expression and appearance.
Both mother and daughter were stunned for a while.
"You are... Ruoli?"
"Mother! It's Ruoli who is here..."
Ying Ruoli said this in a deep voice, and approached the Dragon Mother with a little trepidation.
"Mother... How have you been doing in the past two hundred years?"
"You have really grown up... How about your brother? How are you doing?"
Ying Ruoli was delighted, thinking that the fact that she cared about herself and her brother showed that she was not truly heartless. She quickly took a few steps closer and tried to reach out to grab the Dragon Mother's hand. The latter subconsciously dodged, but the Dragon Girl ignored her and hugged her mother directly.
"We are doing well, but we miss mom so much!"
This time, the Dragon Mother placed her hands at her sides, neither raising nor lowering them, and finally hugged Ying Ruoli.
Ji Yuan, who was standing at the side, saw that although the Dragon Girl lowered her head, she was clearly smiling happily. Just for this hug, this whole trip might be worth it for the Dragon Girl.
"Please rest assured, mother. If this evil dragon dares to show up, I will kill him. If he doesn't show up, I will come to your house and take care of him!"
Just as the Dragon Mother was about to speak, the Dragon Girl continued.
"My daughter is not an ungrateful person. In addition to being confident in her own abilities, she has also invited helpers. This one is Uncle Ji, my father's best friend, a Taoist immortal with profound magical powers. If I borrow Uncle Ji's magic sword, no evil dragon can stop me!"
"Ying Hong's friend?"
Only then did the Dragon Mother look at Ji Yuan seriously.
Ji Yuan didn't want to call the other party Madam Ying, in case she got angry. Calling her by her name didn't seem right either, so he had to bow and greet her.
"That's right, I'm Ji Yuan!"
There was neither immortal aura nor demonic aura from Ji Yuan, and he seemed to be just an ordinary person. However, it was not normal for him to be standing in the water at the bottom of the sea, which could only be said to be a person who was too advanced.
"Did Ying Hong ask you to come?"
Ji Yuan smiled.
"Of course it was at the old gentleman's request. He actually wanted to come, but he was afraid that you wouldn't like him, so he held back. But he was also afraid that Ruoli wouldn't be able to succeed, so he specifically asked me to come and help!"
Ying Ruoli turned to look at Ji Yuan with a little surprise, only to find that her uncle Ji raised his eyebrows slightly at her.
"Right, right, right! That's right. Uncle Ji has great magical powers and likes to travel around the world. I can't possibly have such a big face. It was only because of Daddy that Uncle Ji took action!"
"snort!"
The Dragon Mother snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.
