Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Meeting Canghai, Taking Control of the Immortal City?

The Ghostly Flood Dragon.

The Captain’s Quarters.

The captain’s quarters were opulent and elegant, the floor covered by an exquisite carpet.

Inside a glazed lamp, a wick soaked in whale oil burned quietly, casting a clear, bright light.

Jiaojiao was barefoot, her long ceremonial robes trailing as she sat on the floor, playing with a few toys with great interest.

At that moment,

Su Ye was sitting behind his desk, legs crossed, leaning back in a plush chair.

He had a lazy expression, his fingers playfully manipulating a streak of white light from a Communication Talisman that darted about like a swimming fish.

A thoughtful look was in his eyes.

’Canghai wants a meeting...’

’Negotiations?’

Canghai had invited him to a banquet.

Clearly, the lord of the immortal city had decided to formally negotiate with him to reach some kind of agreement.

’Should I go?’

The thought flashed through Su Ye’s mind.

But he quickly made his decision.

Go!

Of course, he had to go.

Taking control of Weiyuan Immortal City.

This was a crucial part of Su Ye’s future plans!

’Besides... in its current state, the immortal city doesn’t have the ability to set a trap for me even if it wanted to...’

Su Ye smirked, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The Ghostly Flood Dragon was suspended high in the sky.

The Nine Nether Blood Sea Array had been destroyed.

Canghai was grievously wounded.

’A treacherous banquet?’

’Try it, and you’ll die!’

Su Ye’s expression was calm and composed. His overwhelming combat strength gave him the confidence to be fearless.

With that thought, he stood up.

He took a black Daoist robe from the clothes rack, one that was intricately embroidered with beautiful golden patterns.

This robe was inscribed with second-tier array patterns, making it comparable to a Spiritual Artifact. It was a gift from the immortal city!

Su Ye’s fingertips twitched.

Before him, a bright water mirror materialized.

"Hmm... not bad."

Surveying his reflection in the mirror, Su Ye smiled and nodded.

After adjusting his collar, Su Ye said, "Jiaojiao, watch the ship."

"Awooo," Jiaojiao replied.

Su Ye stepped onto the deck, admiring the Cloud Sea and looking down upon the immortal city.

He was just about to fly off to the meeting.

When suddenly, a thought occurred to him.

Su Ye released his Divine Sense. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

A moment later, a pink Escape Light flew out from the ship’s cabin.

He Muyun landed and curtsied gracefully. "Greetings, Mr. Su..."

After the battle for the immortal city, He Muyun, intimidated by Su Ye’s Divine Techniques, had temporarily given up the idea of leaving and become a crew member on the Ghostly Flood Dragon.

Of course, according to Jiaojiao,

this bright and graceful girl in the pink dress was her ’emergency rations’...

"Miss He, Canghai has invited me to a banquet. Would you be willing to accompany me?"

Su Ye got straight to the point, inviting He Muyun to come along.

It wasn’t that he was lacking a female companion.

Su Ye hadn’t forgotten.

She was a member of the Cyan Profound Sect.

Even though He Muyun had concealed her identity and hadn’t advertised it,

the aura of the Cyan Profound Sect’s Cultivation Technique was something Canghai would surely be able to recognize face-to-face!

Bringing her to the meeting was also a way to put some pressure on the immortal city.

Thus, it would help him better achieve his own goals.

He Muyun pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Since you have invited me, I will naturally comply."

She didn’t think too much about it. After realizing that Su Ye might be a ’Divinity Transformation Reincarnation’,

she had basically given up resisting.

’I’ll just do whatever he tells me to do.’

’As long as he doesn’t feed me to Jiaojiao...’

Soon,

two Escape Lights flew down from the Ghostly Flood Dragon, approaching Canghai Mountain!

...

"They’re here..."

Canghai Mountain.

Inside a secret chamber.

Canghai opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

HUM!

Canghai’s Magical Power surged, and his vital energy churned.

His gaunt, withered body seemed to be infused with a burst of life, radiating vitality.

His loose skin tightened as if inflated.

His white hair turned black, and he reverted to the appearance of a middle-aged man. With a powerful aura, he walked out of the secret chamber!

"Master, your lifespan...?!"

Outside the chamber, Sikong Xin was not pleased but alarmed at this sight, his expression filled with worry.

The Secret Technique Canghai was currently using was similar to the ’Withered Wood Life Lock’.

It suppressed one’s life force and presented a decaying appearance to reduce the rate at which one’s lifespan drained away, thus extending one’s life.

But now, by temporarily deactivating the Secret Technique,

he could restore his appearance.

However, it would also accelerate the drain on his life force!

Canghai shook his head. "If you want to negotiate, having equal strength is the most basic requirement."

"If I appear too weak, even if the other party has no ill intentions to begin with, it’s inevitable they might get other ideas..."

"That, in turn, would lead to disaster!"

...

Su Ye and He Muyun descended from the sky, arriving at Canghai Mountain.

Su Ye’s Qi Sea stirred slightly, and he released a thread of Crystal Magical Power, its surging energy diffusing outwards.

A sapphire-blue light radiated outwards, saturating the air.

It parted the clouds on both sides like a tidal wave!

The heavens themselves seemed to shift!

The scene was like a Vast Sea Suspended in the Air!

At the Crystal stage, a single thought could summon wind and rain, creating celestial phenomena!

"I am Su Ye. I have long admired Fellow Daoist Canghai and have come as invited."

His voice was soft, yet it was focused and did not dissipate.

It swept across Canghai Mountain, vast and mighty, like the voice of a god.

Soon,

a resonant voice, full of vigor, rang out.

"So, it is Mr. Su..."

With a majestic bearing, Canghai, who appeared to be in the prime of his life, rose into the air.

The fluctuations of his Crystal Perfection Magical Power kicked up an invisible wave of energy, standing in opposition to the ’Vast Sea Suspended in the Air’ phenomenon from afar!

The two of them seemed to be evenly matched?!

Then,

as if to display the grace of a senior,

Canghai took the initiative to withdraw his Magical Power and clasped his hands in a salute.

He laughed and said, "It’s true that heroes come from the young. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on achieving the Crystal path!"

"I have long heard of your great name..." Su Ye smiled, nodded, and returned the salute.

At that moment,

Canghai suddenly looked toward He Muyun.

Sensing the aura of He Muyun’s Magical Power, his expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice,

"And this is...?"

Seeing this, Su Ye smiled faintly and introduced her.

"He Muyun of the Cyan Profound Sect. A friend of mine."

"Greetings, Canghai."

He Muyun nodded and curtsied.

"So, you are a fellow Daoist from the Cyan Profound Sect..."

Canghai nodded, masking the look in his eyes.

Then, he raised his head and laughed heartily.
