4403 The Blood Sea Organization
This was Duan Ling Tian’s longest journey since he came to the Outer Boundary. However, with the map in his hands, he was confident about avoiding dangerous places. Based on his current strength, he was also confident he would be able to escape from everyone under the realm of supreme powerhouses.
Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian traveled using his flying s.h.i.+p after teleporting away from Ta Meng Sha and the others. Flying s.h.i.+ps were a common mode of transportation in the Outer Boundary. People usually put them away before entering cities to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Divine crystals and basic cultivation tools were used as currencies in the Outer Boundary as well.

Duan Ling Tian had ama.s.sed quite a number of divine crystals when he was in the G.o.d Defying World. He did not use them for cultivation due to the divine pills he refined and the liquid from the divine fountain that he obtained later. As such, he only used his divine crystals to fuel his flying s.h.i.+p or trade for things. However, when he was in Dancing Sun City, he discovered that most people prefer to trade using goods compared to divine crystals. This meant that not everything could be traded for using divine crystals. Similar to most places, the value of an item was not dictated only by its worth and demand. If someone was in urgent need of an item, naturally the item might be sold at a higher price.
Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian had to make a few detours while he was traveling on the flying s.h.i.+p to avoid dangerous territories owned by supreme powerhouses. Some of them would view flying s.h.i.+ps that flew through their territories as threats and would attack without questions.
‘In the G.o.d Defying World, supreme powerhouses are mysterious and treated like legends. I only managed to meet one or two supreme powerhouses in the G.o.d Defying World. However, in the Outer Boundary, most of the stronger forces are led by supreme powerhouses. Suddenly, it seems like supreme powerhouses are everywhere…’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly.
Duan Ling Tian knew that the supreme powerhouses here were mostly natives of the Outer Boundary. Under normal circ.u.mstances, supreme powerhouses from the Myriad Worlds rarely settled down in the Outer Boundary. After all, they carried the responsibility to protect their respective Worlds. This was also the case for the supreme powerhouses of the three strongest Worlds; they would carry out their duties in the Outer Boundary for a period of time before they returned to their respective Worlds. Needless to say, the top supreme powerhouses from the three strongest Worlds were heaven-defying even in the Outer Boundary.
“w.a.n.g Yi Yuan’s final wish is simple… He had said that without his protection, his clan would arrange a marriage for his sister. He wished for her to be free. I’ll do all I can to help her, but I’ll have to ask for her opinion as well,” Duan Ling Tian murmured.
…
It would take Duan Ling Tian three months to arrive if he flew at full speed, but it would take him half a year since he flew at the speed of an ordinary advanced Supreme G.o.d.
Half a year pa.s.sed in just a blink of an eye. During the journey, Duan Ling Tian encountered bandits on a few separate occasions, but he easily killed all of them. The strongest one he encountered was an advanced Supreme G.o.d who had just stabilized his cultivation base. The other party’s strength was just like a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d when faced with him. Despite killing quite a few bandits, he did not gain much. After all, all their spatial rings exploded after their deaths. A few offered up their spatial rings to preserve their lives, but there was nothing useful to him in there. This was not surprising since those who were wealthy in the Outer Boundary would not choose to become bandits.
Suddenly…
“My lord, it seems like you’re flying in the direction of Blue Dawn City. Can you please give us a ride?”
A hoa.r.s.e voice that belonged to an old lady rang from outside the flying s.h.i.+p. She sounded weak when she spoke, and it seemed like she was injured.
Duan Ling Tian raised his head and saw an old woman and a young woman.
The old woman spat out a mouthful of blood at this time before she looked at Duan Ling Tian’s flying s.h.i.+p hopefully.
On the other hand, the young woman looked anxious and worried.
At this moment, a few voices rang from the distance.
“They’re there! Get them!”
“She finally left the Ye clan! Hurry up and catch her! We’ll offer her to our leader!”
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Duan Ling Tian would not intervene in other people’s matters. However, he could not let this matter go after seeing a group of men trying to abduct the young woman.
“Grandma, they’re almost here! Let’s go! The owner of this flying s.h.i.+p is innocent. We shouldn’t trouble him,” the young woman said anxiously.
“My dear, you’re too kind…” the old woman said before coughing up another mouthful of blood. She did not say anything else as she brought the young woman with her and put some distance between them and Duan Ling Tian’s flying s.h.i.+p.
However, before the duo could go far, Duan Ling Tian flew over and left his flying s.h.i.+p. He looked at the old woman and the young woman as he said nonchalantly, “You may board the flying s.h.i.+p.”
“Thank you for your kindness, brother, but it’s best that we don’t trouble you,” the young woman said, feeling grateful. Then, she added optimistically, “We should be able to get to Blue Dawn City before they catch up with us. They won’t dare to act recklessly once we arrive in the city.”
Upon hearing this, a bitter expression on the old woman’s face. It seemed like the young woman was unaware of how severe her injuries were and how precarious their situation was.
“With her injuries, she won’t be able to bring you to Blue Dawn City in time,” Duan Ling Tian said. He could tell the old woman was severely injured. It was a miracle that she was still alive.
The young woman froze, and when she turned to look at the old woman, she saw the helpless expression on the old woman’s face.
“Don’t worry. You don’t have to leave. I’ll get rid of them,” Duan Ling Tian said to the old woman before he put away his flying s.h.i.+p. Then, he turned around and looked at the black dots in the distance that were growing bigger and bigger.
The old woman sighed in relief. “Miss, he’s much stronger than I thought…”
After a dozen breaths, five men, two old men and three middle-aged men in plain clothes, arrived. Their gazes were menacing when they looked at the old woman and the young woman.
One of the old men looked at Duan Ling Tian warily as he asked, “Who are you? Are you going to help them?”
The old man had snow-white hair and brows, but he looked young for his age.
Duan Ling Tian did not respond to the old man’s question. Instead, he put his hands on his back and looked at the five men before he calmly said, “I’ll give you three breaths to scram.”
The old man said, “Sir, I’m the Left Guardian of the Blood Sea Organization.”
The Blood Sea Organization was a nomadic force based in the outskirts of Blue Dawn City. The organization had been around for at least a thousand years and was led by a top advanced Supreme G.o.d. Since they moved bases frequently, it was difficult to deal with them unless a supreme powerhouse intervened.
