Chapter 489 - 489: The Omen of a Demonic Calamity, The Demonic Contamination, The Purple Sun Palace, The War in the Nova Waters (3)
“From the looks of it, that Heavenly Lord Purple Flame must have entered the Purple Sun Palace after you reincarnated.”
As they conversed, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan resumed their journey towards the the Nova Waters.
Their original plan was to visit the Golden Furnace Sect after the trade fair, hoping to find opportunities for advancement.
Now, with the looming threat of a demonic calamity, their urgency to enhance their cultivation and strength became even greater, especially in the face of a potential major crisis.
However, when they finally arrived in the Nova Waters after several months, they were shocked to discover a massive battle unfolding.
The scale of the conflict suggested that several Nascent Soul-level forces were engaged in warfare.
How come?
Although the order on the waters was much more chaotic than on land.
It was unusual for forces at the Nascent Soul level to engage in open warfare.
Unless there was a special situation.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances, their brows furrowed in concern.
It was because the battlefield in front of them happened to be on the path they had to pass to go to the Curved Sea.
If they wanted to go to the Curved Sea, they would inevitably have to interact with the Nascent Soul forces that were fighting.
This was a very troublesome matter.
If things went wrong, it was very likely that they would be involved in the battle.
However, this was how things were in this world.
The more you fear, the more it will happen.
Just as the couple was thinking about how to bypass the battlefields and enter the Curved Sea, a group of cultivators suddenly flew towards them from afar.
The leader was a male cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core.
He had a hooked nose and his eyes were filled with hostility.
He and his companions immediately surrounded Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan upon approaching.
One of the cultivators, a man with narrow eyes, demanded sharply, “Who are you? What business do you have in the Nova Waters? Speak quickly, or we’ll treat you as an enemy!”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan frowned.
Though they felt irritated, they knew better than to engage in a trivial dispute with these people.
Releasing their Nascent Soul aura would be enough to deter these men, but doing so would draw unwanted attention, making it difficult to pass through the area discreetly.
Fortunately, the area around Curved Sea was not easily traversable by everyone, and even if someone managed to get through, they couldn’t enter Golden Furnace Sect without the proper token.
The only concern would be the trouble they might face upon leaving it.
However, these problems were not a problem for the time being.
Before the couple could react, the hawk-nosed man and his companions, growing impatient, launched an unprovoked attack on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan..
