"Now!"
Without any hesitation, Wang Junze spoke directly.
"Huh?"
Even Pei Haoran didn't expect Wang Junze to just up and leave like that, it was way too sudden.
"Since we're going, the sooner the better. Wasting ti is pointless, right?"
Wang Junze replied confidently.
Of course, the real reason was that Wang Junze had calculated that Dugu Feng should be preparing to set sail soon. He had to et with Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea to discuss their plan before that, otherwise, if Dugu Feng showed up, he wouldn't have any chance to make arrangents.
Moreover, it was nightti, so he could leave quietly without being noticed by others.
As for Dugu Feng, she had just tested him and publicly announced she was still in seclusion cultivating, so she wouldn't look for him anyti soon. It was the best ti to leave.
Without waiting for Pei Haoran to respond, Wang Junze directly called Peng Ru over.
"Go get the Liang siblings and tell them you'll be cultivating with for a few days. During this ti, they'll handle affairs in the residence."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Peng Ru was slightly stunned, then her face flushed with a blush for reasons unknown, and after a brief silence, she whispered, "Do we really need to tell others about this? Can I not just co serve you every night?"
"???
Seeing Peng Ru's response, Wang Junze nearly spit blood from frustration. What on earth are you thinking? Is that really how you see ?
Wang Junze's face darkened, and he sternly reprimanded, "Nonsense! I'm going to the Nether Sea, you're coming with !"
After a pause, Wang Junze added, "Rember, this must be kept secret, you mustn't reveal anything to the Liang siblings or your fellow peers. Go now... once you handle that, we leave imdiately."
"... I'll get to it right away!"
Realizing her misunderstanding, Peng Ru turned so red it seed like blood might drip from her face, and she hurriedly ran off, head down.
This was so embarrassing!
Watching Peng Ru's retreating figure, Wang Junze gritted his teeth in frustration. Damn it, how did my reputation get so ruined?
But perhaps it was for the best.
If even Peng Ru was mistaken, then who knows how others would see it.
Even if Jiao Yang did show up in the coming days, they'd probably misunderstand too. And for Wang Junze, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Peng Ru acted swiftly, arranging everything in less than an hour without arousing suspicion.
Before long, Wang Junze discreetly departed Netherworld City with Peng Ru and Pei Haoran.
The three of them boarded Pei Haoran's Netherworld Flying Ship and, under cover of darkness, headed straight for the Nether Sea. At the sa ti, Pei Haoran sent a token ssage to the Maiden of the Sea and Yang Hong, asking them to et at Mirage Island.
With the Mirage Qi as a cover, there was indeed no better eting place in the Nether Sea for Wang Junze than Mirage Island.
Before dawn, the Netherworld Flying Ship landed on Mirage Island.
At the sa ti, the Mirage Dragon quickly sensed Wang Junze's presence and flew out from the Mirage Forest.
"Why are you here again?"
It was clear the Mirage Dragon wasn't too pleased with Wang Junze's arrival.
It had just gotten rid of Wang Junze and only had a few days of peace, yet this harbinger of disaster was back again.
"Is that a lack of welco I sense?"
With a light chuckle, Wang Junze shrugged and said, "Relax, I'm just here to use this place as a base, I won't stay long, nor will I ask you to do anything."
"..."
The Mirage Dragon shook its head, gritting its teeth before saying, "What did you guys do before? Now, the entire Nether Sea is in chaos. That Dragon Turtle went berserk and even ca here. If it weren't for the Mirage Qi blocking it, I might have been eaten. You're not planning to bring the Dragon Turtle here again, are you?"
"Hmm?"
Wang Junze was taken aback, surprised: "It actually ca to Mirage Island? But... you managed to withstand the Dragon Turtle's attack?"
"Withstand, my foot! It was just the Mirage Qi blocking it for a while. The Dragon Turtle didn't want to risk charging into the Mirage Forest, so I barely survived. You're too dangerous, stay away from for safety," replied the Mirage Dragon with disdain.
"Not necessarily a bad thing though, what if there's a chance to kill it? If you manage to swallow an injured Saint Realm Demon King like that, would you have a chance to break through yourself?"
Laughing, Wang Junze asked in return.
"..."
Those words stirred sothing in the Mirage Dragon's heart. Although it didn't want to admit it, a Demon King like the Dragon Turtle was indeed extrely tempting. If it could be devoured, there might indeed be hope for it to beco a Demon King!
However, while the idea was enticing, the Mirage Dragon also knew that killing the Dragon Turtle was extrely difficult.
Currently, in the Nether Sea, both the Human Race and the Demon Race had countless powerhouses wanting to eliminate the Dragon Turtle, but… even with its realm fallen, a Saint Realm Demon King was still incredibly hard to kill.
"Stop with the useless talk; if you really have that ability, I'd call you grandpa," the Mirage Dragon scoffed, "Tell , what's your real purpose here?"
Hearing this, Wang Junze actually calculated more in his heart, following the Mirage Dragon's lead, "I certainly don't have that ability, but what if I lead Dugu Feng here? Dugu Feng is about to break through Entering the Path. If we can lure her to the Dragon Turtle and attack together... we might just have a chance to kill it."
"Dugu Feng?!"
The ntion of that na made even the Mirage Dragon's eyes gleam.
Although it had always resided in the Nether Sea, it frequently interacted with humans and was naturally aware of Dugu Feng. If she truly broke through Entering the Path, there might indeed be a real chance to kill the Dragon Turtle.
During the fight over the Other Shore Flower, it knew that Wang Junze seed to have joined Dugu Feng. But it didn't expect Wang Junze's ambition to be that big, daring to target the Dragon Turtle.
"No rush; we'll plan this slowly later," Wang Junze waved his hand, not ntioning it further, and said, "I'm here this ti to et with others, if everything goes well, I'll be returning to the Nether Sea soon, and then... we'll look for an opportunity to kill the Dragon Turtle."
This ti, the Mirage Dragon didn't pursue it further. Having confird that Wang Junze had no other objectives, it was content to leave it be and, with a flick of its body, returned to the Mirage Forest.
On the other hand, Pei Haoran was fired up; hunting a Dragon Turtle!
Even the slightest possibility was enough to excite him. He had always considered himself bold, but after eting Wang Junze, he realized this was a true madman, as if there was nothing in the world this lunatic wouldn't dare to do.
