Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1024: Chapter 713: Qinglan Island Master Li Shangyuan (2)

Over the past three days, he finally realized that Wind Island had gathered masters from various sea domains.

Da’an is far enough from the Stormy Sea Area, yet yesterday he saw an innate master from the Da Yue Dynasty.

That’s right, the Da Yue Dynasty to the southwest of Da’an is a full twenty thousand miles away!

”Azure Sea Pavilion, hmm, seems to be a power from the Canglan Sea Domain!” Li Chang said somewhat hesitantly.

Canglan Sea Domain is also located to the south of the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Domain, roughly directly south of Da’an, about seven to eight thousand miles from Da’an’s South Sea.

This is also someone who traveled from far away.

”Why do you think these people are here to see me? I always feel they might have ill intentions!” Yang Zhenshan mused.

The dozing Xuanzhen Taoist beside him spoke up, ”Probably want you to blaze the trail!”

”Blaze the trail!” Yang Zhenshan raised an eyebrow, ”Haha, how interesting they are!”

In the afternoon, the Pavilion Master of Azure Sea Pavilion indeed came to visit. He was an old man who appeared ordinary, with graying hair, short stature, and somewhat gaunt features, but no one would underestimate such a little old man.

”I, Duan Chaohai, greet Mr. Yang!” Duan Chaohai greeted with a kind smile, cupping his fists at Yang Zhenshan.

”Haha, Master Duan, I’ve heard so much about you!” Yang Zhenshan said with a laugh.

”Heard so much”? He hadn’t even heard of the name Azure Sea Pavilion in the morning, let alone Duan Chaohai.

This kind of courtesy was too insincere, too fake.

Duan Chaohai’s expression froze; he wanted to ask where Yang Zhenshan had heard his name because if Yang Zhenshan knew his name, then he should have heard of Yang Zhenshan’s name too.

But after thinking it over, he didn’t ask this awkward question and instead exchanged pleasantries with Yang Zhenshan before sitting down at his invitation.

Tea was served, and the atmosphere in the hall was awkwardly silent.

”Good tea, what kind of tea is this?” Duan Chaohai broke the silence.

Yang Zhenshan smiled, ”This is the Dongling Spring from my Da’an!”

”Da’an?” Duan Chaohai showed a puzzled expression again.

Yang Zhenshan had a faint smile on his face, ”North of Canglan Sea Domain is Galuo Sea Domain, north of Galuo Sea Domain is Da Yue Dynasty and Martial God Temple, and north of the Martial God Temple lies my Da’an Dynasty!”

”Da’an Dynasty, isn’t it the Da Rong Dynasty?” Duan Chaohai asked.

A tint flashed in Yang Zhenshan’s eyes, ”The Da Rong Country has fallen, and the Da’an Dynasty is established; today’s Da’an is the former Da Rong!”

”I see!” Duan Chaohai finally showed a look of realization.

After some pointless small talk, Yang Zhenshan steered the topic to the main subject, ”What brings Master Duan here to me?”

Duan Chaohai said with a smile, ”The Stormy Sea Area is extremely perilous; I truly don’t have the confidence to pass through it alone, so I hope to accompany Mr. Yang, so we can support and look out for each other!”

”I see!” Yang Zhenshan nodded.

The people who came to visit him three days ago basically had this same rhetoric, and it looked like they had formed alliances, probably into six or seven small groups to set sail together.

Actually, it’s normal; so many people waiting here for the calm wind period really want to group together to pass through the Stormy Sea Area.

But can such a group of strangers truly support each other while crossing the sea?

What if conflicts arise?

Previously, those who came here also had this plan, but upon learning Yang Zhenshan wanted to leave in six days, they all dismissed the idea of traveling with him.

”I plan to set off in six days, I may not be able to depart together with Master Duan!” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Duan Chaohai was first stunned, then couldn’t help but ask, ”Why leave in six days? By rights, departing in another month isn’t too late.”

The calm wind period starts in July, but the exact day is uncertain, so leaving in August is just right.

But Yang Zhenshan didn’t want to wait another month, others might not know when the calm wind period starts, but he does!

After six days, the wind in the Stormy Sea Area will be much smaller, although there will still be strong winds and huge waves, it will be much smaller than now.

And the duration of the calm wind period is also uncertain, long may last two months, short may last one and a half months.

If they wait until August to depart, there’s a high chance the calm wind period will end just as they’re about to cross the Stormy Sea Area, then they’ll really have to tread through the seabed.

”Haha, I have urgent matters and have to set off as soon as possible!”

How should Yang Zhenshan explain, and does he need to explain to Duan Chaohai?

He also had no intention of partnering with others for the journey.

”This~” Duan Chaohai was at a loss for words.

Urgent matters?

Would he risk his life for urgent matters?

Can the Stormy Sea Area have urgent matters?

At this moment, he felt Yang Zhenshan was just a reckless fool, or an idiot.

Duan Chaohai actually wanted to persuade Yang Zhenshan, not that he was concerned about Yang Zhenshan’s safety; he just wanted Yang Zhenshan to set sail with him.

But after thinking it over, he ultimately gave up the idea of persuading.

The two had just met and had no rapport, persuading might instead offend him.

Moreover, with Yang Zhenshan being such a reckless fool, he didn’t want to make deeper connections.

Duan Chaohai got up to leave, Yang Zhenshan escorted him to the courtyard, watched his departing figure, and chuckled lightly.

Returning to the hall, Yang Zhenshan drank the tea he hadn’t finished earlier.

This Dongling Spring, though the worst Spiritual Tea produced within the Spiritual Spring Space, is unique and unmatched here.
