Chapter 936: Chapter 475: Top Speed

The water currents of the Heavenly River surged violently, with a tremendously intricate water force, akin to a murky mix, making it very difficult to discern the water’s direction.

However, relying on the “Water Classics,” Nie Chuxuan precisely grasped the water veins, navigating them with ease, as if returning home, which was truly unbelievable.

The group followed the flow, proceeding without any alarming incidents, enjoying a comfortable journey.

“Wow, who would have thought that this terrifying Heavenly River could be crossed so easily?” Everyone couldn’t help but marvel.

Nie Chuxuan immediately said, “Don’t be too quick to celebrate. We are still in the shallow waters.”

No. 17, Qi Renhai, couldn’t help but ask, “What happens when we reach the deep waters?”

Nie Chuxuan replied, “The water veins in the deep areas are intricately complex, with rampant malevolent waters and occasional monstrous fish, so we must be extra cautious.”

Pausing for a moment, he solemnly reminded, “Once we enter the deep waters, no matter how cautious we are, unexpected dangers are inevitable.

Remember, if you get swept away by a vortex, it’s almost certain death, no chance of rescue. The rest of you must not attempt a rescue, lest you become entangled as well.”

At these words!

Everyone couldn’t help but sternly change their expressions, becoming all the more cautious, as the atmosphere grew oppressive.

Fang Zhixing continued with the group, his demeanor calm and composed, casually asking, “How many experts does the Sikou Immortal Clan have?”

Nie Chuxuan had no time to answer, too busy to be distracted.

Then, Xiong Liangshi replied with a smile, “The Sikou Immortal Clan also has some depth, having accumulated nearly sixty Lower Immortals over the years, commanding an army of millions.

The most powerful, the Sikou Ancestor, is at the Half-step Immortal Realm and is extremely adept at Water Manipulation.

As long as the Sikou Ancestor stands in the Heavenly River, he can freely manipulate the malevolent waters, unleashing terrifying Tribulation Power, overwhelmingly unstoppable.

Moreover, whenever he senses danger, he can dive into the depths of the Heavenly River to escape, making him impossible to capture.”

Fang Zhixing nodded knowingly, asking, “Do you have a plan to deal with the Sikou Ancestor?”

Xiong Liangshi chuckled proudly and said, “My foster father already has arrangements; he instructed a devotee to weave an ‘Evil Fire Linked Pearl Net’ specifically designed to restrain the Sikou Ancestor, making it impossible for him to escape.”

Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.

It seems the Palace Master of the White Light Palace indeed has a strategic plan, well-prepared.

Thus, for this operation, Fang Zhixing truly might win effortlessly.

Unknowingly, the group entered the deep waters.

Sure enough!

The water flared and shifted unpredictably, even changing in an instant.

“Keep close!”

Nie Chuxuan’s expression turned serious as he commanded, cautiously diving into the fierce waters.

No one dared to be careless, exerting full concentration and effort.

Even so!

About an incense stick’s time later, a sudden scream erupted from the back of the team.

“Help!”

Suddenly, a vortex emerged, entwined with malevolent waters, sweeping in all directions, terrifying in its ferocity.

Someone happened to pass by, caught off guard, and was sucked in.

“Watch out!” Those around were all startled, hurriedly dodging, disrupting the formation.

“Save me, glug glug~”

That person spun around wildly within the vortex, struggling incessantly, a fluctuating glow around them, desperately trying to escape but in vain.

No one dared to rescue him.

However, a few fellow disciples, anxious and loath to abandon him, were eager to act.

But unfortunately, the vortex continued to expand!

The aura of the malevolent waters skyrocketed exponentially!

“Quickly retreat, no one approach for a rescue!”

Nie Chuxuan’s expression tightened, delivering the order coldly, with a resolute determination reminiscent of a warrior willingly severing his own limb.

For that person was a disciple of his own Xiafei Sect!

Faced with the misfortune of a fellow disciple, yet unable to save him, it would undoubtedly damage his reputation.

Everyone else also wore grim expressions, turning away, unable to bear the sight.

Suddenly!

A blood-red light flashed through the group, plunging into the vortex.

Splash!

The vortex rippled!

Everyone blinked, immediately noticing that the person within the vortex was gone.

Nearby, a flash of blood light revealed two figures.

It was Fang Zhixing and that person!

Fang Zhixing was seen gripping that person’s arm, forcefully dragging him out.

“So fast!”

The world echoed with sounds of astonishment.

“It’s Vice Palace Master!”

“Amazing, the Vice Palace Master rescued him!”

Everyone was mentally shaken, awestruck by the sight.

Nie Chuxuan stood dumbfounded, blinking, hardly believing what he saw.

Qi Renhai and a few others’ faces changed repeatedly, their expressions filled with shock.

In that scenario, they definitely didn’t have the ability to rescue him.

“This Vice Palace Master, indeed, has some impressive skills.”

Taishi Chengyao murmured, “Truly a man of courage, no wonder he could spend the night with several beauties!”

Fang Zhixing released that person, smiling as he asked, “Are you alright?”

That person, having returned from the gates of death, was still trembling from fear, stammering, “I-I’m not dead?”

Fang Zhixing promptly said, “You’re not dead, you’re alive!”

The person finally came to his senses, bowed deeply, and solemnly said, “Shi Yicheng of Xiafei Sect, kneels to thank the Vice Palace Master for saving my life!”

Fang Zhixing raised his hand lightly, smiling, “It was a mere effort, no need to thank.”

Saying this, he returned to the front of the team, waving his hand, “Let’s continue on our way.”

Nie Chuxuan pursed his lips, remaining silent while leading the way.

The group set off once more.

The rest of the journey saw a noticeably more relaxed demeanor from everyone.

With Fang Zhixing covering them, everyone grew bolder, moving faster and faster.

Moments later, two others encountered undercurrents, unfortunately swept away, but Fang Zhixing promptly rescued them.

Consequently, the group grew ever more composed, repeatedly quickening their pace.

Thus, they almost traversed the deep waters at full speed, arriving well ahead of schedule.
