Chapter 85: Chapter 41: Xu Nan the Loose Immortal, Unknown Great Demon_2

Good news, the dwelling hasn’t been occupied by spirits.

Bad news, it’s empty inside, there’s nothing at all.

The better news is that a stone slab hangs on the central stone pillar in the hall, and someone left a note:

"Behind the stone slab, inside the column, is a Water-Repelling Pearl. You can stay temporarily, but do not take the Water-Repelling Pearl away."

Su Yu removed the stone slab and found a groove behind it. A blue pearl was embedded inside, and he placed his hand on it, channeling Mana into the pearl. The Water-Repelling Pearl activated, and an invisible force pushed the water away until the entire dwelling was completely drained of water.

"Such kindness!"

This Water-Repelling Pearl was clearly left here on purpose to help others.

Su Yu decided on the spot not to return today; he’d make do for the night here.

He took some food from his storage space to make do and closed the stone door, lying down on the stone bed.

As for Ao Run, the night was when she was most lively, and she was outside wreaking havoc at the moment.

He closed his eyes, ignoring the happenings outside the window, and drifted into slumber.

After an unknown length of time, Su Yu was suddenly jolted awake by a violent tremor.

"An earthquake?"

He got up and listened closely, soon hearing a roar from outside, his expression changing:

"Did Ao Run provoke a BOSS?"

He quickly pushed the door open and saw the surroundings lit up by the blue light of elite water spirits, the Gui Water Divine Thunder exploding incessantly. Ao Run was dashing back and forth in the blue clouds formed by the elite water spirits, continuously spitting out blue thunder pillars across the sky.

Su Yu looked up, seeing the Gui Water Divine Thunder occasionally illuminating the sky and a figure shielded by an invisible light sphere, standing firm amidst the barrage of thunder pillars.

In one hand, he held a white flag, waving it, and dense Sword Qi surged overwhelmingly.

Above them, a giant cauldron surrounded by red flames hung a thousand meters in the water, emitting circles of flame that did not extinguish in water, instead boiling the river water.

Beneath the cauldron, Ao Run’s blue Treasure Pearl was radiating infinite blue light, spreading layers across the area, blocking the cauldron and flames above.

Above, the flames scorched the sea; below, clear water spread like two distinctly separated worlds.

"Where did this expert come from?"

As he looked over, the figure also noticed Su Yu who had just walked out, an exclamation of surprise reached his ears, followed by an elegant and cultured voice:

"Is this dragon your pet?"

Su Yu paused for a moment and nodded in acknowledgment:

"Yes."

"Then this is a misunderstanding. Have your pet stop."

The person reached out to retrieve the flag, wave after wave of flames flowed towards the giant cauldron.

Su Yu quickly transmitted a message to Ao Run:

"Stop fighting, it’s a misunderstanding."

Seeing the opponent had retrieved his Magical Treasure, Ao Run also retracted her Treasure Pearl, slowly descending beside him.

The middle-aged man descended slowly, Su Yu folded his hands in salute:

"Su Yu of the Thousand Feather Guild, paying respects to Senior."

The man reciprocated the gesture, his voice warm and magnetic:

"Xu Nan of the Danxia Sect."

He glanced approvingly at the apprehensive Ao Run:

"Your spirit pet is quite impressive."

Retrieving the brief information about Xu Nan being level 142, Su Yu quickly replied:

"Senior overpraises."

Xu Nan smiled, not continuing the topic, instead looking towards the area behind Su Yu, saying:

"This is a temporary haven of mine."

Su Yu exclaimed in surprise:

"This is Senior’s creation!"

"There was a time I trained here extensively, with no towns nearby, so I made this temporary dwelling to save time."

Su Yu immediately offered:

"Since it’s yours, it should be returned to you."

Xu Nan waved his hand:

"No need, I’m just passing by and decided to take a look."

Su Yu.....

Xu Nan departed directly, as he truly was just passing through.

Su Yu stood at the entrance for a long time before instructing Ao Run to be cautious and returning to the dwelling to rest.

He didn’t sleep, unable to fall asleep.

How could he sleep, who knew if Xu Nan truly was passing or if he had an interest in Ao Run?

After pacing for a while, he decided to leave, bringing Ao Run along.

A few minutes later, they emerged from the water and flew towards the shore.

The sky map opened in midair to check the surroundings. There were no towns nearby, so he simply took out the Spirit Fish Shuttle and slipped inside. The shuttle hovered in the air by the shore, quietly waiting for dawn.

The interior space of the shuttle was quite spacious, five meters long when unfolded, with a diameter of one and a half meters, enough for a person and a miniature flood dragon to lie inside.

There was also a ring of windows on the side, through which the night sky outside could be seen clearly through a transparent light screen barrier.

The cool night wind stirred waves that surged onto the shore. The stars twinkled in the night sky, massive bands of light stretched across the sky like the Milky Way, and the large moon hung like a jade plate in the sky, shining alongside countless stars to illuminate the world on the other side.

"So beautiful."

There wasn’t a trace of environmental pollution, this world was just too beautiful.

"In the future, when I have enough strength, I can travel to the East Sea by day and rest at Cangwu by night."

He rested his hands behind his head, quietly watching the starry sky outside, occasionally lighting up with colorful lights.

"It’s really beautiful!"

"No, something’s wrong!"

He suddenly sensed something and sat up. The Spirit Fish Shuttle turned around, and he saw strands of glowing clouds rising into the sky from the water surface in the southeast direction of the Yuanjiang River, lighting up that entire area.

"What is that?"

He quickly grabbed the sleepy flood dragon, lifted it to the window, and shook it:

"Look quickly."

Ao Run awoke groggily, then instantly stiffened up and shot into the high sky to observe for a while before returning to say:

"Quickly, go have a look."

Su Yu asked curiously:

"What’s happening over there?"

"It looks like someone has entered the crevice there."

"Is someone challenging the existence within the crevice?"

"It seems so."

Su Yu immediately urged the Spirit Fish Shuttle to fly in that direction.

As the shuttle got closer, the glowing clouds became clearer, and he also saw a giant fiery whirlpool appear in that water area, mixing flames with river water, causing the water to evaporate and rise.

"This is...."

It felt somewhat familiar.

Su Yu controlled the shuttle to ascend and observed from above, soon seeing the faint outline of an enormous cauldron at the boiling river’s bottom.

"Isn’t that Xu Nan’s magical treasure?"

"Is he challenging the existence within the crevice?"

At this moment, Ao Run circled behind him and approached the front, eyes filled with eagerness, asking:

"Do you want to go down and see what’s in that crevice?"

Su Yu shook his head directly:

"No, it’s too dangerous."

"Then I’ll go take a look!"

Su Yu quickly pinched its neck:

"You don’t go either."

What a joke, what if going down there led to misunderstandings and getting sucked in?

The blue flood dragon immediately became deflated, lying beside him, bored, flipping its tail left and right.

"Rumble!"

A muffled rumble echoed from within the river, terrifying ripples spread from the riverbed, sending shivers down his spine, and fierce undercurrents surged up, forming gigantic waves that spread in all directions.

"Boom!"

The water surface for a thousand meters around arched, and columns of flames pierced through the river water and shot up into the sky, with an occasional blade of sharp Sword Qi appearing among them.

"What a powerful magical treasure."

Su Yu estimated internally that the rank of the Flame Giant Cauldron was at least above level eight.

At this moment, a Spiritual Wing Flying Ship flew over from the horizon, paused slightly, and then flew towards his side, stopping next to the Spirit Fish Shuttle. The ship carried forty or fifty people, and a young man flew over, cupped his hands, and politely asked:

"Brother, do you know what’s happening here?"

Su Yu cupped his hands in return and said:

"A Loose Immortal expert is fighting a BOSS at the riverbed."

"Thanks!"

"You’re welcome."

The young man returned to the Spiritual Wing Flying Ship and spoke a few words with his companions, and the ship stopped there to watch the spectacle as well.

Before long, another flying ship flew over from afar, and after understanding the situation, it also stopped to watch the show.

As time went on, nocturnal creatures nearby were drawn by the spectacle, and before they knew it, nearly a hundred people had gathered.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the river water surged, and then the flames exploded. The giant cauldron was propelled out of the riverbed by an unstoppable force, followed by beams of light shooting out of the water. Everyone heard beautiful songs and laughter.

Countless people, upon hearing the laughter, became dazed, involuntarily jumping off the flying ships to fly toward the river’s surface.
