1249: The Road of No Return

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts fluttered. Such a change in the last few hundred years clearly meant something had happened.

Everyone, powerful beings from various worlds, immediately realized that this might contain a great opportunity.

If everyone had initially come out simply to establish a good relationship with the Arcadia family, now everyone had become interested. This sudden change in the world clearly meant that the opportunity here was truly extraordinary, and if they could seize it, they would likely receive unimaginable benefits.

If the rescue had initially been just a formality, with people returning promptly when danger arose, everyone was now determined to persevere, no matter how dangerous it was.

The stronger the storm, the more valuable the fish!

Isabella couldn’t help but ask Zuan, “Brother Zu, you have the ability to control the sea. Can you walk through it?”

Before Zuan could answer, Yani said, “If it were a normal sea, of course we could, but this area is affected by these terrifying hurricanes. Countless seaspouts have even formed on the surface of the sea, piercing the sky and merging with the lightning in the sky. Now the entire sea is carrying the power of lightning, and various whirlpools and undercurrents have formed within the ocean. Walking through the sea is even more dangerous.”

Zuan nodded. “Yes, the sea is now filled with lightning and wind elements. I can only control the sea. If the other two elements are mixed in, it will be difficult to control.”

Isabella’s face was filled with worry. “This sea area is so violent and dangerous. That Sister Fireworks was captured here by a sea monster. I’m afraid… Brother Zu, you must be mentally prepared.”

Zuan’s eyes were firm. “I want to see her alive or dead. I can’t give up just like that.”

The other guests echoed:

“Yes, we’ve come this far, how can we give up halfway?”

“Since those sea monsters can survive here, there may be a safe area here that we just haven’t discovered.”

…

Hearing the cacophony of chatter, Isabella felt a little bewildered. These people hadn’t been acting this way just now. What had caused them to change so drastically?

Yani sighed, “Grandmaster Zu can control the seas, and our ship can barely defend against lightning. It’s a shame none of us have the ability to control the wind element, otherwise it would be much easier.”

Isabella’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if a memory had occurred. She rummaged through her small bag and suddenly pulled out a bead.

Unlike other beads, it had a heavy quality.

With the bead’s appearance, the howling hurricane in the surrounding area suddenly ceased, and the warship, which had been rocking back and forth, stabilized.

“The Wind-Fixing Bead! It’s the legendary Wind-Fixing Bead!”

“Legend has it that this bead can freeze all wind-based magic. I never thought it was real.”

“It can even freeze such a terrifying hurricane! It’s truly a legendary artifact.”

…

The ship was filled with knowledgeable people, and one quickly recognized the bead’s origins.

Everyone, excited as they were, couldn’t help but glance at Isabella with some confusion:

“Miss Isabella, why didn’t you take out the pearl just now?”

“I forgot,” Isabella blushed. “It was a gift I received for my ninth birthday. I’ve been keeping it in my bag, doing nothing.”

Everyone: “…”

Their eyes fell on the delicate little bag at her waist, thinking that the Arcadia family was truly as wealthy as a nation.

What opportunities were they still looking for? The treasures in this bag surpassed those hidden in most opportunities.

Unfortunately, they could only dream of

it. Who would dare to steal the Arcadia family’s eldest daughter’s belongings? With the power and influence of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, the outcome would be a fate worse than death.

Zuan didn’t dwell on it. He simply glanced curiously at the palm-sized bag, thinking that it could hold so much in such a small size. It must be a spatial artifact. Perhaps, like Doraemon’s pocket, it could pull out countless items.

At that moment, Yani’s delighted voice echoed nearby: “With this Wind-Fixing Orb, we can penetrate deeper into this storm.”

She instructed Isabella to manipulate the Orb above the warship, ensuring calm around it. The warship quickly sailed in.

As they watched the devastating hurricanes and lightning strike outside, nothing happened within the small area of the warship. They marveled at the Orb’s magic.

After an unknown amount of time, the terrifying hurricanes and lightning vanished, and the warship entered a calm sea.

Everyone on deck marveled. They had never imagined such a terrifying hurricane could be so peaceful within.

Isabella said with some joy: “Brother Zu, it seems your friend was brought here by a sea monster. Perhaps we’ll find her soon.”

“I hope so.” Zuan gazed at the calm sea, yet a lingering sense of unease welled up in his heart.

It was too peaceful! How could such a place exist in the middle of such a terrifying thunderstorm?

“Hmm, it looks like fog has come up.”

“Be careful, the fog is poisonous.”

“Don’t worry, I just tested it. It’s not death energy, it’s not poisonous.”

…

Everyone, with their considerable experience, breathed a sigh of relief when they realized the fog was harmless.

But as the warship continued to move in, the fog grew thicker and thicker, until, with the exception of a hundred-meter radius around the warship, everything else was obscured by the dense fog.

“There’s something strange about this fog. It seems to block our spiritual senses,” Alfred frowned.

Upon hearing his words, the others hurriedly tested it, their faces falling. They too realized they couldn’t sense what was happening outside.

As top-tier experts, their spiritual senses could normally travel great distances; such things were as natural as eating and drinking.

In this situation, a mere hundred-meter visibility felt like a blind man’s cage to them, and their sense of security instantly vanished.

“The ship’s detection units haven’t worked either,” Yani’s words sent a pang of regret. Had their abilities, whether cultivation, magic, or technology, all failed?

“It’s too dangerous to continue like this. I’m responsible for the young lady’s safety. I think the situation has reached an extremely dangerous moment. I request that the warship return immediately.” Alfred solemnly proposed to Yani.

Now even those ambitious people who had previously wanted to seize the opportunity have begun to back off. This place is indeed a bit too weird. It’s better to go back and make a long-term plan.

Isabella suddenly became anxious: “Alfred, I still want to accompany…”

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the other party: “Young lady, I listen to you on other matters on weekdays, but when it comes to your safety, the master has authorized me to make the decision.”

Isabella opened her mouth, and finally looked at Zuan apologetically: “Brother Zu, I…”

Before Zuan could comfort her, Yani said solemnly, “Now is not the time to argue about this, because I’m afraid we can’t go back.”
