Episode 16: Sea of Stars and Mist Chapter 14: Twenty Years of Wandering

“Aiya, why are you guys? It seems like the seven of you left just now. Why are you back again?”

Bebe deliberately cocked his head with a puzzled expression. At once, Aitch and the other seven felt a bit embarrassed.

Although there was no excuse for them to think for themselves in that situation, and if they had really just left, it would have been fine.

But to come back now, that would feel embarrassing.

But there were countless bandits in this Sea of Star Fog, so with the strength of a few of their Mediate Gods, how could they safely reach the Blood Peak Continent? They could only rely on the protection of Linley, Bates and a few others to arrive safely. Although it was a bit embarrassing to rely on Linley and the others to help them now, it was nothing compared to their lives.

That Aitch laughed and even said, “Bebe, we ……”

“Oh, I see.”

Bebe looked like he suddenly realized, “Aitch, at first you borrowed Bates’ metal life to use it, Bates’ metal life was destroyed by that Gammontin, now, are you coming to compensate for the metal life?”

“Metal life?”

Aitch was stunned for a moment.

That Bates, however, his eyes lit up, he then remembered his own piece of metal life, and even laughed and said, “Yes, my metal life is at your request, letting everyone ride it, this is destroyed, Ai Qi, you have to compensate for it! This metal life of mine is a high grade one, worth eighteen million ink stones!”

“Eighteen million?”

Aitch glared.

“What, you won’t compensate?”

The bearded Bates immediately flipped his face, as if he was going to strike out against Aitch.

Ai Qi even said, “Lord Bates. Don’t worry. I’ll compensate, I’ll definitely compensate, okay?”

“That’s more or less the same.”

Bearded Bates smiled smugly, his earthly metal life was actually only worth eight million inkstones, and now that it was destroyed, it instead made him earn ten million dollars at once.

Aitch was helpless in the bottom of his heart. Who did he offend in the end? This Star Mist Sea Road was even continuously suffering on the way.

“If it comes back this many times, this business I ran will be for nothing.”

Ai Qi sighed helplessly, in fact, the value of Ai Qi’s goods this time was still very high, and if it was transported to the Blood Peak Continent, it would indeed be able to make a big profit.

Nah, the price of metal life was also high.

“You guys are going with us?”

A voice rang out.

Aitch and the other seven Mediate Gods turned their heads to look, and the one who spoke was none other than Linley. The bearded Bates took one look and said with a smile, “Aitch. You want to come with us now. We still have to see if Linley, he agrees or not. It’s useless for us to say it, we have to listen to Linley.”

The seven Aitch understood that the strongest person in this group was Linley!

“Lord Linley, we ……”

Aitch even smiled.

“You guys want to go with a few of us, no problem.”

Linley said with a faint smile, and with those words, Ai Qi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Linley couldn’t help but smile as he continued, “But I must remind you all that although that Gan Montin was killed by me. However, he still has another divine doppelganger. Most importantly …… there is a terrifying figure behind him. That absolute powerhouse will most likely come to trouble us.”

“A Jedi powerhouse?”

Aitch and the other seven couldn’t help but look at each other.

Bebe, who was next to Linley, also deliberately frightened, “That Gan Montin, he’s also just a henchman of that powerful person. If you guys think about it, you should have guessed that the strength of the strong man behind that …… According to our estimations, that strong man should be on the same level as Shura!”

“Shura!”

The hearts of Aitch, Thiem, Welborn, and the other seven trembled, to the Mediate Gods. Shura that was an invincible existence high above.

That big green-haired guy, Thiem, even naively said, “Lord Linley is so powerful. He should be able to deal with that powerful person.”

Aitch and the others immediately looked at Linley.

“I’m not sure at all.”

Linley, however, said, “Everyone should still make a choice!”

Ai Qi and the other seven looked at each other.

“We’d better follow you, Lord Linley.”

The seven people finally made their decision. It was impossible to safely reach the Blood Peak Continent by relying on the strength of the seven of them in the Sea of Star Fog. And it was much safer to follow Linley.

Linley couldn’t help but smile at that.

“I’ll protect you if I can, if even I can’t, then you’ll rely on yourselves.”

Linley smiled faintly, “Alright, let’s go!”

With a wave of Linley’s hand, a metal being appeared on the surface of the Star Mist Sea.

Linley knew very well that that Aki didn’t have a metal life now.

Since they knew that there was still Lord Commander behind that Ganmontin, Linley and the others naturally tried to find a way to make it impossible for the other party to find them, first of all, Linley was destroying the spatial ring and throwing away the divine weapon. And then it was a detour towards the Blood Peak Continent.

The Sea of Star Mist was so wide and boundless that it was difficult for even the most powerful characters to find someone in the Sea of Star Mist.

At first, Linley and the others were worried, but when no danger was encountered even after advancing for a year, everyone was relieved.

The Sea of Star Mist was boundless, and in the calmness of the journey, twenty years had quickly passed since the battle with Ganmontin.

“Clashing seawater swirled.

The metal beings broke the waves, while Linley was sitting in the bow position outside the ship, watching the waves from afar.

“Twenty years!”

Linley gripped the bottle and casually drank two mouthfuls, “In hell, this time does pass quickly, it’s just that crossing the Sea of Stars and Mists takes decades. By now, it’s only almost halfway through the journey.”

These twenty years, at first, Linley was also worried about encountering that Lord Commander.

But as time went on, Linley was relieved. After traveling for twenty years, I’m afraid that that Lord Commander would have trouble finding him. After all, it was that the Divine Sense coverage of an Elder God who had reached the Great Perfection realm wasn’t that great.

How could it possibly find Linley and the others?

“Boss.”

Bei Bei scurried out from the cabin, Bei Bei’s face filled with excitement, “Boss, they’re talking about a very famous island we’re about to arrive at in the cabin, it seems to be called Miluo Island!”

During this traveling journey. Linley and the others had also stopped at some cities.

The Star Mist Sea was vast and boundless. There were many islands, and it was also divided into a range of more than ten prefectures, and each of those prefectures also had ten cities, which were all situated on islands.

This star fog sea island, general also has a circle of ten thousand miles, big island. It was normal for them to be a million miles in circumference. Compared to Linley’s hometown, the Yulan continent was much larger. It was enough to build a city on it.

“Miluo Island?”

Linley couldn’t help but be surprised.

“They said that this Miluo Island was very prosperous, and they even heard that there was some sort of battlefield on Miluo Island.”

Bebe was also somewhat confused.

Linley, however, remembered the book about the geography of hell, which described Miluo Island with some emphasis.

Miluo Island was a large island with a circumference of hundreds of thousands of miles, located within the territory of the Silver Blue Mansion in the Star Mist Sea.

Miluo Island is extremely prosperous, with a large floating population, and a large number of merchants and warriors gather here every day. Its degree of prosperity. It was in no way inferior to the ten cities of the Silver Blue Mansion.

This was a very bizarre thing. An island that was comparable to the ten cities of the Silverblue Prefecture.

“Hey, Linley, what are you guys discussing?”

Bearded Bates also walked to the bow of the ship.

“Just talking about Miluo Island.”

Linley said with a faint smile.

“Miluo Island?”

Bearded Bates sighed, “It’s a very special place, he doesn’t have a Star Army to protect him either, nor does he have government soldiers to protect him, yet it’s just as prosperous as a large city, within this island. There are free castles that specialize in allowing merchants to trade.”

The Star Army, similar to the Purple Bauhinia Army, was an army in the Star Mist Sea.

“Within Miluo Island, there is a very powerful army. Maintaining some order on Miluo Island.”

Bates marveled. “The soldiers in this army are all Upper Gods. Very excellent. For countless years, Miluo Island hasn’t declined!”

Linley couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

A government with only ten cities. But this Miluo Island, to be able to attract so many merchants in and maintain it for so many years, was indeed shocking.

“There are two places within Miluo Island that are the most famous, one is the Freedom Castle and the other is the Fighting Stadium. Within the Freedom Castle, fighting and killing is not allowed, and once discovered, the Miluo Island’s island army will strike without mercy! And inside the martial arts arena, the spectators are not allowed to fight and kill, violators result in being surrounded and killed by the army as well!”

Bates’ eyes were filled with marvel, “This Miluo Island, it’s too strong, no one dares to mess with it so far.”

“So many merchants trading? Doesn’t anyone dare to snatch it?”

Bebe grunted, “I just don’t believe it, the average person doesn’t dare to loot, do the government soldiers still not dare? For example, what about the Star Army?”

The Star Army, that’s the Lord God’s army.

Could it also not come to deal with Miluo Island?

“That I’m not sure about.”

Bates shook his head and said.

“Miluo Island, has existed for an unknown number of billions of years. There must be a special reason for it.”

Linley also knew Miluo Island in a general way, but just in a general way, Linley was able to deduce that …… was able to construct an army of Upper Gods.

Furthermore, it was also independent of other cities and pools to construct a trade location.

This was too heaven-defying.

“There must be an astonishing force behind Miluo Island.”

Linley said in his heart.

“Hey, I just heard you guys say that there are still three days left before we arrive at Miluo Island?”

Bebe suddenly inquired.

That bearded Bates nodded and laughed, “Yes, there are three more days. This Miluo Island is very exciting and interesting, especially that martial arts arena, especially the Upper God level martial arts arena, that fighting ground even has some extremely powerful strong people. It’s wonderful!”

Linley couldn’t help but have a hint of anticipation in his heart as well.

Miluo Island, a free island in the Sea of Star Mist, a prosperous place without the government soldiers or the Star Army in the land. At that time, only at the entry point of Miluo Island, there were actually densely packed metal beings marching towards that.

“Every moment, a large number of metal beings are arriving.”

Linley couldn’t help but marvel, “Every day, just how many people come to Miluo Island? It’s really hard to calculate, the prosperity of this Miluo Island is truly no less than any city.”

Linley had also seen many cities on this road.

The level of prosperity was, at most, similar to this Miluo Island.

“Boss, let’s go and see how this Miluo Island is!”

When the metal life stopped at the entrance, Bei Bei immediately excitedly rushed out first.

There was no need to pay a fee to enter Miluo Island, so Linley and his group stepped onto this legendary Miluo Island.
