The commotion over the Moon Shield City went practically unnoticed, even with the death of two cultivators at the Holy Soul Realm.
The people didn't stir, possibly because they didn't even know that two cultivators had just been killed.
Just then, the Evil God was slowly descending into the prison in the north of the city.
The prison guards barked orders at each other while swarming out to rush towards him.
In the eyes of the Evil God, these guards meant absolutely nothing to him. Barely even shooting them a glance, countless stalagmites as thick as wrists suddenly popped out from the ground and strung the guards together.
Then, the prison's walls and fences collapsed with a loud bang, frightening the prisoners inside.
The prisoners didn't dare to make a move, staring fearfully at the Evil God who was descending from the sky.
With a smile on her face, Edna slowly walked towards the Evil God as he landed on the prison ground.
She had been consumed with worry and had hoped that the Evil God wouldn't come in person. However, now that he was here, she couldn't help but be drawn towards him.
Without uttering a word, she fell into the arms of her husband.
"Let's go," the Evil God whispered into her ear.
Wrapping his arms around her waist tightly, he then launched themselves into the sky and flew to the deck of the black ship.
As soon as she set foot on the deck, she felt a blazing gaze boring into the back of her head.
Turning around, she saw Shera glaring at her with a hint of jealousy.
Edna met Shera's gaze calmly. "Nice to meet you."
Shera was planning to say something first, but was immediately caught off guard by Edna's courteous greeting. At a loss for words, she didn't respond.
However, seeing Edna leaning on the Evil God intimately, she felt her heart sink.
The Evil God had come all the way to the Blood Sea Province to save Edna. What more could she say?
However, Shera was a veteran in battle. Surely she could survive these trivial matters. Forcing a smile, she asked in a strained voice, "Who are you to him? What are you doing in the Blood Sea Province?"
"She's my wife, and she's also from Zen's inner world," the Evil God suddenly cut in, answering for her. "Not long ago, Zen let her go, but she was taken here by the Bearing race."
"I see," Shera said through gritted teeth. "Since we've saved her already, can we go now?"
She and the former captain had predicted that the Yellow Thearch would take action shortly after they entered the Bearing race's territory. However, he hadn't shown up since, which made Shera feel a bit uneasy.
Since the Yellow Thearch didn't show up, there was no need for the Black Ship to stir up any more trouble. Now, leaving the territory of the Bearing race seemed like the best choice.
"No." The Evil God shook his head. "The Yellow Thearch and the Divine Farmer are coming soon. I want to challenge them."
Hearing this, both Shera and the former captain, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly.
Along the way, the former captain had been reporting the situation of the Evil God to the Grandmaster of Heaven.
There were too many risks involved in challenging the Yellow Thearch. He had to ask Grandmaster of Heaven for advice.
To his disdain, however, the Grandmaster of Heaven had no means to stop the Evil God. Instead, he hoped to assess the true strength of the Evil God.
However, in order to do so, he wanted the Evil God to fight the Yellow Thearch alone.
If the Divine Farmer got involved, the situation would change drastically.
Edna looked at her husband when he said that. She had heard of the Yellow Thearch and the Divine Farmer.
Back in the Flow Sword Sect, she had asked for information on the masters in the Source World.
These two were Eternal Realm masters.
And the way to the Eternal Realm had been sealed, so at this point, it was impossible for the Evil God to reach the Eternal Realm.
Even so, she no longer felt anxious. She had learned to trust in her husband.
"Are you confident you'll win?" the former captain asked. "Shera and I can help you pin down one of them."
Although there were no other members left, there was still Shera, who was at the top level of the Holy Soul Realm, and the former captain himself, an Eternal Realm warrior.
"There's no need for you to do anything. They're already here," the Evil God said, turning suddenly to look at the space on the side of the ship. "I'm sure they've heard what I just said."
