Above the sea, the wind howled and the waves rushed fiercely, yet Fang Bai's voice pierced through the hundred-meter barrier of wind and waves, clearly reaching Madam Linghu's ears.
With each word Fang Bai spoke, Madam Linghu's gaze became a shade brighter.
"If what this lad is saying is true, then as long as I capture him and force out all his secrets, it's even possible for me to become the strongest in the True Martial Realm!"
For the first time, Madam Linghu felt that she was so close to the Innate Realm; in her excitement, her heart nearly leapt from her chest.
After saying those words, Fang Bai's feet gently pressed down, steering the plank beneath him, and he charged towards the pitch-black sea.
The ship was sailing eastward, and Madam Linghu was blocked off to the west; hence, after a brief moment of contemplation, Fang Bai chose to escape towards the south.
