After the Skyfall

Chapter 915 Hijacking
The Rakshasa King clearly didn't want to see Li Yi die yet; at least until he found the Water-Avoiding Beast, he wouldn't allow his men to kill him at will.

It wasn't that I was worried about offending Emperor Huaqing, but rather that it was extremely difficult to find someone who knew the location of the Water-Avoiding Beast on this vast and desolate sea of ​​Guixu.

Therefore, even if that Rakshasa woman hadn't made a move, he would have intervened to stop her.

"Emperor Hua Qing? Never heard of him. There are quite a few cultivators at the Heavenly Emperor level in the Heavenly Realm. Who knows where this Emperor Hua Qing came from? He is nothing compared to our Rakshasa clan."

At this moment, the Rakshasa woman laughed and continued to scrutinize Li Yi: "I am very interested in the bloodline in your body. Why don't you leave that Emperor Hua Qing from today onwards and come with me? I will let you understand what heavenly bliss is and what Rakshasa love is."

“I’m not interested in Rakshasa. You should go find someone else,” Li Yi said firmly.

“In the Heavenly Realm, a celestial soldier like you has no right to refuse. If you do not agree to my request, the rest of my clan will not hesitate to devour you alive,” the Rakshasa woman said, then looked to the side.

Several powerful members of the Rakshasa clan were staring at Li Yi with predatory intent. If it weren't for the Rakshasa clan's Heavenly King giving the order, Li Yi would probably be dead by now.

"Think it over carefully, and it would be best to do so before we find the Water-Avoiding Beast." The Rakshasa woman smiled meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's gaze immediately darkened.

Clearly, once he finds the Water-Avoiding Beast, his value will be gone, and his fate will be dire. Moreover, given the speed of this spaceship, he will only have a month at most.

If he cannot find a way to escape during this period, he will most likely perish here.

Does he really have to sell his body to please this Rakshasa woman?

"Fellow Daoist, please don't take it to heart. Manluo was just joking with you. After we obtain the Water-Repelling Pearl, I, the Heavenly King, will escort you to Emperor Huaqing's location and ensure your safe return," the Rakshasa Heavenly King said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Li Yi clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

He knew perfectly well that the other party's words were just perfunctory. The Rakshasa woman Manluo was right; as a Heavenly Soldier-level cultivator, he had no right to refuse under such circumstances.

Even a random member of the Rakshasa clan is at the Heavenly General level. With such a difference in realm, killing him would be easier than killing a dog.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, fellow Daoist." The Rakshasa Heavenly King gestured again and said, "Guangsha, take this fellow Daoist to control the dragon boat. The rest of the route is in your hands. Don't disappoint this Heavenly King."

"Rest assured, my lord." A powerful Rakshasa warrior, clad in armor and with a face like a demon, accepted the order and strode over, gesturing for Li Yi to follow him.

Li Yi took a slight breath. He had no choice but to temporarily submit to the other party and follow this Heavenly General-level expert into the interior of the spaceship.

"Don't try anything funny. If we take the wrong route, or if you intentionally lead us into dangerous waters, I'll twist your head off immediately," the powerful man named Guang Sha said coldly, staring at Li Yi.

"Also, don't think you can make a move on Manlu just because you have a pretty face. If you do it even once, I'll still twist your head off."

Li Yi glanced at the other person.

It can be confirmed that this powerful member of the Rakshasa clan has a penchant for twisting his head.

“The Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness is fraught with danger, and my route itself will encounter several dangerous places. If you are worried, I can tell you the general location, and then you can take control of this dragon boat. As for what happens along the way, just don’t blame me,” Li Yi said. “Also, I am not interested in the women of your Rakshasa clan. Instead of warning me here, you should go and restrain that Rakshasa woman so that she won’t bother me.”

Despite the enemy being stronger than us, Li Yi's attitude remained unfriendly.

He knew that the other party wouldn't do anything to him before finding the water-avoiding beast, and even after finding it, they wouldn't let him go just because he was friendly.

"Hmph." Guang Sha snorted heavily, clearly dissatisfied with Li Yi.

However, due to the Heavenly King's order, he suppressed his murderous intent and did not twist his head off.

“Tell me the location of the water-avoiding beast, and I will take control of the dragon boat,” he said coldly.

Li Yi's eyes flickered, and then he flicked his finger, and a stream of magic power transformed into a huge sea chart that appeared before him. He then made several marks.

"This is where I encountered the Jingwei bird. There used to be a place where dragons danced together. Continue forward, and this area is probably where the water-avoiding beast is located."

He deliberately marked several dangerous points on the map, but he didn't mark the most dangerous places. These were mines he had planted along the way. As for whether the dragon boat would pass through that area, or whether the terrifying creatures in that area would come out to kill, that was up to fate.

“Alright, for the next period of time, you will stay here and not go anywhere. You are not allowed to step out of here,” Guang Sha said.

But before he could finish speaking, Li Yi said, "Yes, yes, yes, I know. If I dare to take a single step out of here, you'll twist my head off."

"You know that much," Guang Sha said, then withdrew his cold gaze: "Go away, don't bother me."

He didn't take Li Yi seriously. He was just a celestial soldier; even if he stood there and let the other attack him, the other wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.

In the Celestial Realm, the difference between two major realms is like a vast chasm, immeasurably large.

Li Yi didn't say anything at this moment. He simply moved away from the evil spirit, then sat down in a corner of the cabin. Afterward, he made some hand seals, closed his eyes, and entered a state of cultivation.

Guang Sha didn't even glance at his last-minute attempt to cram.

What's the point of practicing at this time?

Even if they break through to the Heavenly General level, they're still useless and can't cause any trouble.

"Hua Qing, it seems your title of Great Emperor isn't very effective; you can't even fool a Heavenly King." Li Yi secretly contacted Hua Qing while cultivating.

“I’m just a rogue cultivator with no real status or background. If you were a great emperor under the Heavenly Venerable, would you try it? That Rakshasa King would be extremely respectful to you, and would even send Rakshasa women to warm your bed at night,” Hua Qing said.

"Sure enough, no matter which world you're in, you have to consider your background and status to survive." Li Yi sighed and said, "By the way, what is the Thunder Department that Rakshasa woman named Manluo mentioned?"

“The Thunder Ancestor Heavenly Venerable’s power includes thirty-six Thunder Emperors and countless forces of all sizes. What do you think the Thunder Department is? That Rakshasa woman is right. Your bloodline contains the power of thunder, making you most suitable to join the Thunder Department. If you work hard, you might be able to become a Thunder General and learn some exquisite thunder techniques,” Hua Qing said.

“A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long? He is the Thunder Ancestor Heavenly Venerable, and I am the Taiyi Heavenly Venerable. How can I submit to someone else?” Li Yi said.

“Because others are true Celestial Venerables, while you have only proclaimed yourself so. You have never witnessed the power of a Celestial Venerable, so you will always be a frog in a well, ignorant of your own limitations,” Hua Qing said.

Li Yi said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's think about how to escape. If I die here, you, the Great Emperor Hua Qing, will definitely not survive either. You don't want to be resurrected with great difficulty only to vanish into thin air, do you? I suggest we use the knife coins to tear open the membrane between heaven and earth and cross the boundary."

“No, exposing the knife coin in this situation is suicide. There is a Heavenly King-level expert on this dragon boat. He can detect any spatial fluctuations immediately. And the knife coin that can split the membrane of heaven and earth is a true treasure. If it is discovered, what do you think your fate will be?” Hua Qing said.

"Moreover, right now, we don't even need that Heavenly King to take action; the Heavenly General next to him can twist your head off in an instant."

"So you mean there's no hope?" Li Yi said.

Hua Qing said, "If all else fails, you can use your looks to seek the protection of that Rakshasa woman. Aren't you skilled in the art of manipulating things? You can definitely serve that Rakshasa woman well. When she's in a good mood, she'll take you back to her mansion and get you out of this danger. Then you can make plans later."

"Dealing with one Rakshasa woman is better than dealing with so many powerful Rakshasa warriors."

"Thank you, that's a good suggestion. Please don't make the same suggestion again next time," Li Yi said. "I'll take the gamble and see if this dragon boat will capsize."

"There are many dangerous areas along the way in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness. I don't believe that the other side won't step into a single pit."

"Then I wish you good luck," Hua Qing said.

He couldn't help Li Yi right now, since he was just a remnant soul being nurtured, and his strength was weak. Even if he had a million schemes, he couldn't use them.

And at the same time.

On the dragon boat.

"My lord, we cannot completely trust what that human cultivator says. This place is the Sea of ​​Ruins, fraught with danger. There must be something fishy about him, a mere celestial soldier, wandering alone on the sea. Even if he is truly under the command of Emperor Huaqing, we must eliminate him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

At this moment, a Rakshasa general spoke in a low voice.

Standing at the bow of the ship, the Heavenly King of Strength smiled and said, "This man does indeed have the aura of the Water-Avoiding Beast. He must have been struck by the Water-Avoiding Beast's divine light before, but he survived by sheer luck. I need him to find the Water-Avoiding Beast. Once things are done, I will handle things properly. It is good that you speak boldly, but you can follow my arrangements."

"He's just a celestial soldier. He's boarded our Rakshasa clan's dragon boat. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause? Guang Sha should have already obtained the route. From now on, all of you better be careful. This is the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, and any kind of danger could arise here."

"Yes." The Rakshasa accepted the order and immediately took on their respective duties, remaining vigilant against the dangers on this vast sea.

Even the Heavenly King of Power himself dared not be careless, and remained at the bow of the ship, not daring to leave even for a moment.

Because he knew that even with the strength of a Heavenly King, he was nothing on this vast ocean; there were far too many dangers that could take his life.

The reason he was willing to spend some time on Li Yi was that if a celestial soldier could travel across the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, then the other party must have discovered a relatively safe route.

Instead of wandering aimlessly and risking adventure, it's better to use the other party to find the water-avoiding beast.

If the other party dares to play tricks, Guang Sha knows what to do, so Chi Li Tian Wang is not too worried.
