Chapter 185: Chapter 135: You’re Trying to Steal My Man?

"Ah!"

Mei Zhaozhao shot to her feet.

As all eyes fell on her, her cheeks, hidden beneath her black robe, flushed slightly. She then whispered, "It’s hot."

The spot where she had been sitting was already turning a scorching red. The Sea of Blood was heating up as if it were turning into lava, and the wooden boat was on the verge of catching fire from the temperature.

No wonder it had burned Mei Zhaozhao’s bottom.

Qiu Yuehan glanced at Mei Zhaozhao. "Steady the boat."

"I’m steadying it, I’m steadying it. Can’t you be a little less cold?" Mei Zhaozhao stretched out her hand and channeled her Magical Power.

Before the boat’s temperature could even drop, Mei Zhaozhao cried out, "Something’s wrong! Something is trying to tear our boat apart."

If they fell into the Sea of Blood below, moving would become extremely difficult.

Mei Zhaozhao let out a cry as her hand was repelled, and she stumbled backward, losing her balance.

She nearly fell into Lu Changyuan’s arms, but the hilt of a sword propped her up. It was Qiu Yuehan’s sword.

Before Mei Zhaozhao could say another word, the boat abruptly exploded.

Lu Changyuan and Qiu Yuehan flew up almost simultaneously. Xue Yanluo, holding Bai Wei, was a step behind. As for Mei Zhaozhao, Qiu Yuehan had grabbed the back of her black robe by the collar as she ascended, lifting her into the air.

The group landed on the fragments of the wooden boat, and Qiu Yuehan set Mei Zhaozhao down.

Lu Changyuan stood on a piece of debris with his sword on his back. He looked at the people who had emerged from the depths, then turned to Xue Yanluo. "Do you know them?"

Three figures had appeared from the Sea of Blood.

One at the Third Realm, and two at the Fifth Realm.

Xue Yanluo soothed Bai Wei and said, "I don’t remember."

Upon hearing this, the face of the Third Realm cultivator turned ashen. "My dear older brother, you don’t remember me?"

"I don’t."

Xue Yanluo had too many siblings; he couldn’t be bothered to remember them all. The only one he did remember was Xue Nichang, because when she was little, his younger sister loved to stick by his side, calling him "Brother Yanluo" over and over. But when she grew up, her attitude changed drastically. After learning he cultivated the Yin-Yang Dao, she became so enraged she threatened to kill him.

’She probably panicked because she realized she wasn’t as pretty as a man in women’s clothes.’

The Third Realm cultivator was furious. "I’m your twelfth younger brother."

Before the other could state his name, Xue Yanluo just said, "Oh." He continued, "Don’t remember you, and I have no interest in getting to know you. Since I’ve already given up the position of Young Master, I have no intention of taking it back."

"If you’re not after the Young Master position, then why did you come back? Save those lies for a three-year-old!"

This twelfth brother didn’t believe him at all. He stubbornly assumed that Lu Changyuan, Qiu Yuehan, and Mei Zhaozhao were helpers Xue Yanluo had brought with him.

Qiu Yuehan looked at Lu Changyuan and remarked, "The Blood Demon Lord is quite fertile."

"Why are you looking at me...? There are two at the Fifth Realm. Do you want the one on the left or the one on the right?"

"I’ll handle them. There’s a big one behind them."

’Such a reassuring Moon Fairy.’

Lu Changyuan nodded and looked at the water’s surface.

Fairy’s Hanging Sword appeared. Long Rainbow Sword Qi drifted out and, in the blink of an eye, shot toward the two Fifth Realm Elders. The faces of the two Elders changed drastically.

One Elder was killed instantly, his head falling onto the water’s surface. The other barely managed to withstand the sword strike and was now fleeing in a panicked, wretched state.

Qiu Yuehan did not pursue the other one, instead turning her gaze to the water’s surface.

THUD!

The head hit the surface, then an enormous splash erupted, and the roaring waves of blood churned violently.

This was definitely not the kind of commotion a single head falling into the water could make.

In that same instant, Lu Changyuan moved.

Broken Thought was in his hand. A Sword from the West!

Lu Changyuan had long anticipated the existence of this thing. He stepped onto the bloody water and charged into the crimson waves.

’Just two Fifth Realm cultivators and one from the Third Realm thought they could blow up my and Qiu Yuehan’s boat?’

’That was, of course, impossible.’

Something under the Sea of Blood had been tailing them the whole time. It had taken advantage of the twelfth brother’s attack to strike, blowing up their boat so they would think it was the brother’s doing, making it easier to launch a sneak attack.

An ancient beast’s roar exploded through the air.

Lu Changyuan had already cleaved through the curtain of water, forcefully slicing off nearly half the hidden creature’s body.

Amidst the flying flesh and blood, he finally got a clear look at what it was.

It was a whale.

What was striking was the enormous hole in the whale’s head. The space where its brain should have been was empty. In its place was a scarlet human brain.

With a flash, Qiu Yuehan appeared by Lu Changyuan’s side, her black dress fluttering.

The whale actually spoke in a human voice. "I am... Zi Hua Master."

Lu Changyuan frowned. "Who is Zi Hua Master?"

"A Sixth Realm Master from the Qingluo Painting Palace!" Mei Zhaozhao shouted.

’How did a Sixth Realm Master from the Qingluo Painting Palace turn into a whale?’

Qiu Yuehan sensed a trace of a Thought. "The whale is dead, but that human brain is alive."

Lu Changyuan was horrified.

The physical strength of this whale was only approaching the Fourth Realm, but the aura radiating from it was genuinely that of the Sixth Realm.

The Moon Fairy’s willow-leaf brows knitted even tighter, as if she had seen something filthy. "Someone killed the whale, brutally dug out Zi Hua Master’s brain, and connected it to the whale’s body... The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha?!"

There hadn’t been any major disturbances around Blood Island in the past few days. To kill a Sixth Realm Master so quietly during this time, the attacker could only be a Yao Guang, and a powerful one at that.

And among the Yao Guang, there was only one person with such disgusting methods.

Lu Changyuan couldn’t help but ask, "Who is that?"

"The Sect Leader of the Eating Buddha Sect."

As they spoke, the enormous whale charged forward with a speed that was utterly unnatural for a whale. It then opened its massive mouth and swallowed the terrified twelfth brother. Its huge tail swept toward Lu Changyuan and Qiu Yuehan.

"Let’s deal with this thing first."
