"Terrifying ship, grey-black mist..."
Under the explanation of Lu Lingjing, Hong Lian roughly understood that Lu Changsheng encountered some danger, causing him to be unable to return for a short time.
As for safety, she wasnāt worried.
After all, her husband is a great power reincarnated, transcending the mortal world; what danger could he encounter?
"Lingjing, your journey back must have been exhausting."
Hong Lian said to the Lu Lingjing in front of her.
The matters of the Heavenly Sword Sect still inevitably caused her some pressure.
Now that the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale has returned and guards the Great Dream Marsh, there is no worry.
"Madam, be wary of a person wearing blue armor..."
At this time, Lu Lingjing spoke again to Hong Lian.
She returned not only because she couldnāt find the master, Lu Changsheng, but also because she was disturbed by a blue-armored man, worried he might cause trouble for Great Dream Immortal City.
"Blue-armored man?"
Hong Lian frowned slightly, showing some confusion.
"Yes, I was sleeping at that time, waiting for the master to return when this blue-armored man suddenly came to ask me about the Kunpeng Egg and attacked me. I saw the master hadnāt returned for a while and worried he might come home, so I hurried back."
Lu Lingjing, with her massive figure like a dark golden mountain, stood on the boundless sea, explaining to Hong Lian.
"???"
Upon hearing this, Hong Lian felt uneasy and quickly inquired about this blue-armored man and the situation regarding the Kunpeng Egg.
Lu Lingjing was not clear about the details, only saying that the young master Quanzhen was inside the Kunpeng Egg, and many people were looking for it at the time; she found it.
As for how the blue-armored man knew she found the Kunpeng Egg, she did not know.
"Kunpeng Egg!?"
Though Hong Lian was unclear why Lu Quanzhen would be inside the Kunpeng Egg,
just the name alone suggests the egg is exceptionally rare, likely associated with the legendary True Spirit Kunpeng.
"If it truly is a Kunpeng Egg, even Nascent Soul True Lords couldnāt remain calm..."
Hong Lian realized that her husbandās venture might indeed relate to Lu Lingjing obtaining the Kunpeng Egg under the watchful eyes of numerous Nascent Souls.
Despite the Kunpeng Egg landing in her husbandās hands, the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Starry Sky Sea havenāt given up and still search for the trace whereabouts of this Kunpeng Egg.
She pondered briefly, her beautiful eyes shimmering like stars, sacred and solemn, then lifted her hands, her slender, elegant fingers outlining and manifesting into a sparrow snake.
"Lingjing, let me check your situation."
Hong Lian said to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, wanting to see if her body harbored any other True Spirit Qi mechanisms.
"Alright."
If Hong Lian acted without her consent, she might become angry.
But since the other party asked, and the spell posed no harm, she nodded in agreement.
As the sparrow snake roamed around her massive body, Hong Lian seemed thoughtful and asked when the blue-armored man found her, and the last time she had close contact with the Kunpeng Egg.
"Except for when the master called me to help, Iāve always watched the Kunpeng Egg inside the lotus..."
Speaking of the Kunpeng Egg, Lu Lingjing couldnāt help but salivate.
Hong Lian, as a Fourth Rank Beast Tamer, nodded, realizing that the blue-armored man likely sensed residual Kunpeng Egg Qi mechanisms from Lu Lingjing.
She frowned slightly, inquiring: "Lingjing, where were you in the Starry Sky Sea at that time, and why did it take so long to return? Did you encounter any danger along the way?"
Having experienced the speed of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale with Lu Changsheng, she knew the Starry Sky Sea couldnāt be so vast that it took this long to return?
With Hong Lianās words, Lu Lingjing became angry, saying she couldnāt recognize the route, sought directions from demons, but they too couldnāt guide her, causing this lengthy journey.
Regarding danger, she didnāt encounter any, just someone secretly observing, but she drove them away.
"Lingjing, now you should head to the Sea Eye to reside; if thereās danger, escape to other depths, Iāll call upon you via messaging if needed."
Hong Lianās face slightly tensed as she spoke, realizing the Nascent Soul powers of the Starry Sky Sea had taken notice of Lu Lingjing.
Or rather, when Lu Lingjing found the Kunpeng Egg, the various Nascent Soul level powers of the Starry Sky Sea had already noticed.
But she remained within the Tianyuan Lotus, with the heavenly secrets isolated, not showing herself, leaving the Nascent Soul cultivators without a trace.
Upon her emergence in the Starry Sky Sea, she instantly attracted the attention of these powers, and a Nascent Soul True Lord discerned the residual Qi mechanisms on her body, knowing she had contacted the Kunpeng Egg.
However, as a True Spirit Level Demon Beast, ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords were not her match, hence the blue-armored Nascent Soul and cultivators observing her dared not confront her directly.
"The blue-armored man mentioned by Lingjing likely belongs to a faction within the Starry Sky Sea. Though he knew Lingjing interacted with the Kunpeng Egg, he wasnāt a match; even if he enlisted help, heād certainly call trustworthy friends."
In past lives as a Nascent Soul True Lord, Hong Lian was well aware that such fortune as the Kunpeng Egg is extremely rare for Nascent Soul True Lords.
They certainly wouldnāt want too many people to know.
And inviting friends to assist is a quite troublesome matter.
Not only must they be trustworthy, but their strength shouldnāt be too overwhelming, causing oneās interests to suffer.
"Alright."
Compared to Mysterious Whale Island, Lu Lingjing preferred sleeping at the Sea Eye.
Yet as a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King, despite appearing somewhat silly, she was merely oblivious, unschooled in worldly affairs, not truly foolish, sensing some unease from Hong Lianās tone and demeanor, and asked: "Madam, is there any danger?"
"Yes, the blue-armored individuals should be the Nascent Soul forces of the Starry Sky Sea; they took note of you when searching for the Kunpeng Egg..."
