Chapter 1339 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (75)
Li Guang planned to take a flying boat from Lizhou to Yuzhou, and then go to Yunzhou.
Of the three states in the Western Ember Domain, Qingzhou and Lizhou are the westernmost, one to the north and the other to the south, while Yuzhou is relatively far to the east, bordering Yunzhou, one of the three states in the Central Evolution Domain (Yunzhou, Lanzhou, and Cangzhou). The Eastern Sea Domain consists only of Haizhou, and a vast sea area that is even larger than the land.
She is currently at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and she has the ability to protect herself in the world of cultivation. However, she never thought that she would pilot a flying vehicle to Yunzhou.
To avoid trouble, she directly bought the best flying boat ticket from Wanbao Trading Company.
On the day the flying boat set sail, Li Guang bid farewell to Bai Heng and the children before boarding the flying boat.
Bai Heng looked at Li Guang, his eyes almost overflowing with reluctance, but he suppressed it and simply waved to her.
Li Guang waved as well, and only looked away when the flying boat set sail and Bai Heng's figure gradually shrank.
Li Yan leaned closer, a mischievous glint in the boy's eyes, "Mother, Father will definitely miss you."
Li Guang tapped his forehead: "Stop being so cheeky. Let's go to our room and get some rest. It'll take another eight days to get to Yuzhou."
"Alright, Mother."
Li Yan obediently followed his mother, taking his younger sister with him, and went up to the top floor of the giant flying ship.
The three cabins were elegantly furnished with soft cushions and potted plants, and from the windows one could see the airship slowly sailing away from the city of Lizhou.
After inspecting the three cabins and confirming that there were no problems, Li Guang let her children go back to their rooms.
She then spent several days cultivating in the cabin before leaving.
The keel of the airship swayed in the long winds of the distant state, and the spray it stirred up dampened the wooden railings of the deck.
Li Guang stood by the ship's side, her fingertips brushing against the cool wood. She looked up and saw that the horizon of Lizhou was shrouded in layers of clouds, and the distant mountains were hidden in the mist, revealing only a sliver of blue-green, like a landscape scroll with ink splashed on it by someone.
Light footsteps came from behind her. Li Yan ran to her side in a few steps. The boy had grown quite a bit taller and was even a little taller than Li Guang. His transformed appearance was handsome, combining the advantages of both her and Lu Jinghong. His eyebrows and eyes resembled Lu Jinghong's, while his face shape and lips resembled hers.
"Mother, so you've been here all along."
"Yes, we're about to leave the state territory."
The area is mountainous, with lush green forests as far as the eye can see.
"Mother, the world is vast, and I really hope to travel all over it with you and my sister."
Beside him was his younger sister, Li Yao.
"Mother, are we arriving in Yuzhou?" Li Yao's voice was full of curiosity as she pointed to the merchant flags hanging on the flying boat. "Just now, the manager of Wanbao Trading Company was talking about the customs and traditions of Yuzhou. I heard that cultivators in Yuzhou like to grow flowers, and next month will be the peak blooming season for all kinds of spiritual flowers."
Li Guang stroked her daughter's hair and said gently, "Then let's explore Yuzhou first, and then go to Yunzhou."
As they were talking, the voice of the merchant guild manager came through the communication device on the flying boat, carrying a hint of respect: "Distinguished guests, the flying boat is about to leave Lizhou and head to the next stop, Yunhua City, the largest city in Yuzhou. The journey will take another two days. During this time, the merchant guild will provide you with spiritual food, so please rest assured."
The next afternoon, the flying boat entered the Black Wind Gorge, which is located at the border of Yuzhou and Lizhou.
The wind at the mouth of the gorge suddenly became violent, the black wind whipping up gravel and pounding against the hull of the flying boat with a dull thud.
The once stable flying boat suddenly began to rock violently, and the cultivators inside the cabin cried out in alarm. The guards of the merchant guild immediately activated the protective spirit array, turning the array to its maximum power. However, a large amount of black mist suddenly surged out from behind the canyon wall. The mist was filled with a dense demonic energy that made people feel nauseous.
"It's a demonic cultivator!"
Someone on the deck exclaimed in surprise, and Li Guang immediately came out of the house and called Li Yan and Li Yao to her side.
"You two siblings stay in my room and don't wander off."
"Yes, Mother."
Li Guang closed the door and looked out at the sky.
A dozen black figures emerged from the black mist, each dressed in a black robe, with a hideous mask covering their face, and holding a long sword tempered with demonic energy, rushing straight towards the flying boat.
Their cultivation levels varied, but most were at the Golden Core stage, with the leader being at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. His body was surging with demonic energy as he attacked the flying boat, attempting to break the formation.
