Chapter 154: An unexpected situation, or one that was already anticipated
The rising sun in the east brought a touch of warmth to the quiet and cold sea. At this moment, on the deck of the ship that was slowly moving forward on the waves on the sea, countless Qianyan soldiers were controlling the ship's equipment, each doing their own job, keeping the huge number of nearly a hundred ships moving.
Ye Li held two sea charts in his hands, looking at the positions drawn on them based on the images transmitted by the flight mechanism, and said with a strange expression:
“Although this sea route is a path that can pass through the gathering place of the Dream Demon God and the West Sea Alliance, who can tell me what this island that is smaller than the snow mountain is all about.”
Ye Li looked at the road ahead. The sky was covered with a small patch of dark clouds. Snowflakes were falling above, while below were forests, rocks, and islands covered with snow.
Although he already knew about the existence of the island from the Qianyan Army who operated the flying mechanism to carry out pathfinding projection, he was still a little confused when he saw it with his own eyes.
This island covered with snowflakes is not on the old nautical charts. Although there are some discrepancies compared with the nautical charts drawn during this period, that is also the route drawn by other immortals on this route. Is there any immortal who dares to deceive the Emperor?
Even if someone really dared to deceive Morax, Ye Li knew with his toes that the other party would be discovered in the first place, and then a star would jump down from the distant sky and smash the other party into pieces.
With this scene, Ye Li knew better than anyone that if one wanted to deceive someone, one result would be to escape from Morax's hands, and the other would be to be directly killed, leaving only a filth, and then be sealed.
Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Ye Li's expression became serious. Since it was an abnormality, he would naturally not take it lightly.
Opening the elemental vision, faint ice elements and other elements were mixed in the island, especially the circular shield formed on the edge of the island, which seemed to be isolating something.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Li was already very clear that this was not a naturally formed island, but a realm created by the demon god. If he approached it rashly, something bad might happen.
After all, this voyage has lasted for more than half a month, and this is due to the extremely high speed of the ship they built. If it were an ordinary ship, it would be difficult to reach the current location in less than a month and a half.
He continued to think in his mind, but having seen many storms before, Ye Li quickly calmed down his emotions and just instructed Qian Yanjun who was standing beside him and working meticulously:
"Give orders to take a detour. The elemental fluctuations here are not right."
Qianyanjun took the order and turned around to inform them.
……
In the silent Snowflake Island, in a sealed location in the center, a demon god awakened from his slumber. His eyes were fierce and violent, as if he had sensed something.
"Morax, it's the breath of Morax! Hahahaha! It has been floating for hundreds of years, and has been sealed on this moving island for hundreds of years. Finally, I have finally waited for you!"
The demon roared, as if he was roaring at the people who sealed him back then, venting the loneliness and anger that had been dormant and awakened over the years.
The island was shaking and trembling. Countless snowflakes caused avalanches on the mountains. The dark clouds in the sky were gradually turning into rain amid the howling snow wind, but would soon turn into ice crystals and fall.
At this moment, nearly a hundred ships that had taken a detour suddenly docked. Ye Li, who had already noticed the strange movement, opened his golden eyes. The whole person was already floating in the air. With a wave of his hand, he pushed nearly a hundred ships approaching the island to tens of thousands of meters away.
The flying mechanism orbiting in the sky was also swept away by the hurricane and arrived at the location of the ship.
Ye Li took out a piece of paper that Morax had given him before he left. The cracks on it were very obvious. He couldn't help but say in annoyance:
"It's really troublesome. I thought I wouldn't run into the thing my dad said, but it happened in less than a month, and it happened right on the road I had to take."
Ye Li was helpless. Before leaving, Morax told him that there was a demon god who had been sealed on the sea route he was traveling on. It was said that the demon god might break the seal and cause trouble in the next two years. When he went there, he should remember to deal with the seal or kill him directly.
Ye Li was speechless at this behavior of telling himself that there was another thing to do before going to work, but since he had encountered it, Ye Li didn't mind dealing with it.
As countless ice crystals fell on the island, the formation that had been worn out over hundreds of years was shattered, and a huge roar resounded over a radius of tens of thousands of meters.
"Morax! It's time to settle the score for bullying, humiliating and sealing me!"
As the sound rang out, the island had already been shattered, and a giant bear with fierce snow wind stood on the ice, staring at Ye Li with blood-red pupils, as if he saw the shadow of Morax in the other.
Listening to this same meaning of settling accounts every time, Ye Li was almost getting calluses from listening to it. His expression became lazy, and he looked at the giant bear in front of him and said:
“Although I don’t know why you are looking for the Lord Emperor, but judging from your bloody and murderous aura, I’m sure you must have slaughtered many Liyue creatures hundreds of years ago, otherwise you would not be sealed here.”
"Hmph, it's not Morax, but you smell so strongly of him that you must be someone closest to him. Well, I'll kill you first and let that guy feel regretful."
"Didn't you listen to me? Even if you are a top-level upper demon god, how much power do you have left after being sealed for so many years?"
"You ignorant brat, you were not even born when Morax and I were fighting each other. How dare you speak so arrogantly?"
The giant bear of the upper demon god roared, and the anger and negative emotions accumulated over the years made him forcefully push his own strength, raising his aura to the peak. This action also affected all the surrounding environment. Freezing rain fell from the cloudy sky, a thick layer of ice had already formed on the sea surface, and the air seemed to be solidifying.
"You are really willing to spend a lot of money. You even forced your own demon blood to burn in order to recover your strength."
Ye Li had already put aside his relaxed demeanor, and said with a serious expression and a sneer:
"But have you ever heard of the saying, 'Hidden dragons and crouching tigers, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers'? With your temper, you really deserve to be sealed. If the emperor didn't have the technology to deal with the remnants of the demon god, you would have been shot dead long ago."
As Ye Li spoke, the aura of the upper demon god completely exploded, causing huge waves of thousands of meters, and his golden pupils lit up with divine light.
Ye Li held a golden spear in his hand, and the gray hair on his back was blown by the hurricane-like surging waves. Dragon horns slowly appeared on both sides, and the brown Taoist robe turned into white and black. An aura of dominating the world and the mighty power of a dragon emerged.
"Hahaha! As expected, Morax's son, today you will repay your father for sealing me."
The giant snow-white bear roared and laughed wildly, with bloodthirstiness and excitement in its eyes evident, as if the surprise it had predicted had come true, and it was extremely excited and happy.
However, his joy will soon disappear, because what someone said about playing the pig and eating the tiger will soon take effect on him.
……
Liyue, Tianheng Mountain, inside the Rock King Palace.
Gui Zhong was holding a mortal painting of Morax fighting a giant snow-white bear hundreds of years ago. The ink on it was still very new, and it was obvious that it had been collected long ago after it was painted and was only taken out recently.
"Gui Zhong, why did you take out this painting? I remember you tore it up that year."
At this moment, Morax, who was dealing with the articles sent from the front line and the battle reports in the past half month, turned his head and looked at Guizhong with a puzzled look as he asked the question.
"Isn't this a good historical record? I didn't really say I would tear it up. I was just saying it in anger."
Gui finally stuck out his tongue, looking very naughty.
Morax was a little helpless, but before he could continue to revise the article, a familiar breath came from a distant direction.
Gui Zhong's expression also became serious. He looked seriously in the direction where Ye Li's ship had left from and said:
"It seems that Xiao Li has really met his match this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so serious."
Morax picked up a piece of talisman paper beside him and injected a huge amount of elemental power into it. Soon, a brief and somewhat blurry picture was projected in front of the two of them.
The moment the picture was projected, Morax and Guizhong's expressions relaxed. The worried look on their faces had long disappeared, leaving only a faint smile.
