Without waiting for Yang Qian to reply, Ye Ying continued, "Besides, I also have great faith in Brother Yang's character. I have heard this from many Qingming Guards and Heitie Guards in Tianyuan City." At this time, Ye Ying's eyes showed sincerity and expectation.

Yang Qian showed surprise on his face. Ye Ying's attitude made him unsure of this girl's attitude.

"Have you asked about me?" Yang Qian was really stunned. He didn't expect that Ye Ying had actually obtained information about him from Tianyuan City. This was different from the original book.

"Of course. Actually, I..." Ye Ying's smile became wider. She was about to say something, but she found that Yang Qian's eyes changed and became extremely alert. Then she also realized something and immediately kept silent.

The next moment, a wave was heard from a magic circle in a quiet room below, and then it quickly subsided.

The air around seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Well, Brother Yang, please think about it. I will go back first." Ye Ying smiled lightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze. She turned around and left slowly. Her white skirt fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending to the earth.

Looking at Ye Ying's graceful back gradually going away, Yang Qian subconsciously touched his nose, his brows were tightly locked together, like two deep ravines, his eyes were full of contemplation, deep and solemn, as if he was repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of Ye Ying's proposal of an alliance in his mind.

At this time, the spirit boat was still moving forward at an astonishingly fast speed. The surrounding clouds were whizzing by like a fleeting moment, forming a series of blurry phantoms.

This trip will probably be interesting!
The corners of Yang Qian's mouth suddenly lifted slightly, and he chuckled suddenly. There seemed to be a hint of expectation in that laughter, mixed with some indescribable meaning.

In the next fifteen or sixteen days, the spirit boat continued to move forward rapidly under the shielding effect of the giant cloud, without slowing down at all.

Although we encountered some other types of aerial birds and beasts on the way, we were able to get through them safely.

These beasts obviously do not have the magical ability to see through the restrictions of the Lingyun Boat like the four-winged strange birds they encountered the first time.

Together with Yang Qian and the other four, their real magical powers and strength made them the best among the Divine Transformation cultivators, so they easily defeated the attacks of the birds and beasts.

Just like this, time passed quickly and it was already the twentieth day of Yang Qian's shift.

At noon, when he stood up to replace a batch of spirit stones on the spirit boat and was about to return to the place where he had been meditating, he paused, suddenly turned his head, and looked towards the front of the spirit boat with a strange look on his face.

"I didn't expect it! I encountered this beast again. With my current cultivation level, I am completely powerless against this beast. I'd better tell them." Yang Qian seemed to sense something, and his face instantly became extremely weird, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

His brows were tightly furrowed like a knot, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and he muttered two words in a low voice, the sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Then, Yang Qian shook his head, without any hesitation, and suddenly let out a long howl.

Although the sound was not loud, it was like the clear sound of a silver bell, loud enough and with strong penetrating power. It instantly broke the silence around them and awakened the other four people who were meditating in the quiet room.

A moment later, several rays of light of different colors shot out from the boat, and in a few flashes in the air they arrived next to Yang Qian, revealing the figures of several other people.

"What happened? Why did Brother Yang summon us? Is there some danger again?" Xiao Hong frowned, her face full of confusion, and asked with her mouth opened.

"What is this? Could it be..." Long Dongze widened his eyes with astonishment on his face. As soon as he appeared, he started speaking one after another.

But Xiaohong's words were full of questions, and Longdong immediately discovered something and was surprised.

"Did Brother Yang find anything?" The white-browed young man looked around quickly with eyes as fast as lightning.

"Brother Yang, are there another birds or beasts attacking us?" Ye Ying also released her spiritual sense at the same time, her face stiffened.

"What is that? Could it be a true spirit-level being?" The white-browed young man had already discovered the trace of a certain monster and cried out in amazement.

Although the white-robed girl Ye Ying didn't say a word, her eyes showed horror and her pretty face was full of surprise.

Yang Qian had already calmed down at this moment. In the sky hundreds of miles away where his spiritual sense was sensing, there was a huge black shadow floating in the sky, which almost covered most of the sky.

Dark clouds rolled near the black shadow, with thunder and lightning flashing and roaring. Under the black clouds, countless gray hurricanes rose from the ground, like giant pillars directly connecting the sky and the ground. Occasionally, a small body covered with gray scales appeared in the clouds, which could only make people shocked by its huge size, but it was impossible to determine the true identity of the black shadow.

However, from a distance, one can see that the black shadow is round in shape. With such a huge body and such an astonishing momentum, it seems to be very similar to the true spirit-level beings as big as mountains in the rumors.

No wonder everyone in the Jade Boat looked so different when they saw it.

Just when everyone was shocked, a strange roar like a cow's roar came from the distant sky, followed by a loud rumbling sound, as if countless huge thunders exploded in the distance. Even at such a distance, the thunders were still continuous and unusually clear.

Yang Qian stood quietly aside with his hands behind his back, his expression as calm as water, and explained slowly: "Don't panic, fellow Taoists! This is not a real spirit, but an ancient beast, the Thunder Turtle. This turtle is said to be one of the largest species among the ancient beasts of the wilderness. Normally, it only absorbs lightning in the air with its body and will not actively attack other creatures. Of course, if you really provoke it, it will naturally be an extremely terrifying existence. At least a cultivator in the Fusion Stage has the ability to confront it head-on, which is not something we can deal with at this stage."

Yang Qian's voice was steady and powerful. Not only did he know the origin of the ancient beast, but he also didn't seem to be very worried about the ancient beast in front of him. This surprised the people in Longdong, and they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Brother Yang is right. I just recalled the origin of this beast. Judging from its power and appearance, it must be the ancient beast 'Thunder Turtle' without a doubt." The white-robed girl also relaxed her expression when she heard the strange roar. She let out a long sigh as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She nodded her head and said, the tense expression on her face gradually relaxed, and a bit of playfulness returned to her eyes.

"Thunder turtle? It's the ancient beast that was born in the thunder in the legend! I've heard of it. As long as there is thunder and lightning, the body of this giant can expand infinitely. It is a magical beast of heaven and earth. I heard that the giant turtle "骖灵" in the Xuanwu realm of the human race with the power to support the city may be a thunder turtle. Although this one is not small, it is nothing compared to it. Brother Yang's experience makes us admit defeat!" The young woman in the black skirt was relieved when she heard that it was not a real spirit, and she said something in amazement. Hearing this, Yang Qian smiled faintly and didn't say much.

"We are not sure whether Cangling is really a thunder turtle. If that is true, the thunder turtle in front of us is probably not even one-tenth the size of the Cangling giant turtle. But even so, if we anger this beast, our lives will be in danger. It is better to avoid this beast!" Longdong said suddenly with a smile.

Yang Qian touched his chin, thought for a moment and said casually, "That's right! In fact, this is also a great opportunity for us. This kind of thunder turtle usually lurks deep underground and rarely surfaces. It is impossible for ordinary people to see it easily. I speculate that it surfaced this time because there was some special fluctuation in the energy of heaven and earth here, which forced it to show up. Generally speaking, when it surfaces, it is often accompanied by some special phenomena."

Yang Qian's tone was steady but with a hint of caution.

At this point, Yang Qian glanced at Xiao Hong obscurely, his eyes were full of deep meaning, and what he just said was also to remind the other party quietly.

Xiao Hong nodded first. She didn't feel anything unusual at first, but suddenly she seemed to remember something terrible. Her face turned extremely pale and bloodless. She screamed in panic:
"Not good. Since this turtle has appeared here, there must be a terrible thunderstorm. Brother Long, please drive the spirit boat away from this area quickly."

Her voice became sharp and trembling with extreme fear.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Yang Qian's expression changed drastically.

"Thunderstorm?!" Long Dong's face turned blue and his body shook. He suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared on the bow of the ship more than ten feet away. At the same time, he flipped his hand and a token-shaped magic weapon suddenly appeared in his hand.

He just rubbed the token with his hands, and the white clouds all around him suddenly dissipated and disappeared. Then the spirit boat suddenly stopped, and suddenly changed direction and shot out. The speed increased by more than half, and turned into a white rainbow and rushed straight into the sky.

But before the spirit boat escaped for dozens of miles, a layer of blue light suddenly appeared in the sky above the black shadow in the distance. Then, as if stimulated by something, this light suddenly rolled out in all directions at a speed that was astonishing.

In just a few breaths, everyone on Yu Zhou could see with their naked eyes a blue line appearing on the horizon with a rumbling sound, with countless flashes of lightning in it, as if countless demons were flying towards them with bared fangs and claws.

"I've heard for a long time that when the Thunder Turtle appears, there will definitely be a thunderstorm following. It's indeed true! Fellow Taoists, come and lend me a hand." When the young man with the blood mole, Long Dong, saw the speed of the blue light, he took a breath and shouted loudly.

In fact, he didn't need to say it, the white-browed young man, the young woman Xiaohong and others had already seen the blue light approaching rapidly in the distance, and their expressions were definitely not good.

Without thinking twice, the two of them made hand gestures and dazzling spiritual lights of various colors emerged from their bodies, flowing unsteadily and all heading towards the jade boat under their feet.

Yang Qian and the white-robed girl Ye Ying looked at each other. Their speed was not that slow, but they immediately made the same move.

Suddenly, five kinds of spiritual power poured into the body of Lingyun Boat.

Naturally, the combined efforts of everyone were far superior to what they had been able to achieve before. A low humming sound was heard from the boat beneath their feet, and suddenly there was a huge shock, and all the scenery outside the boat became completely blurred.

At the extremely fast speed, the spirit boat transformed from a white rainbow into a stream of light-like phantom. In just a few shakes, it escaped from one end of the sky to the other end.

However, even at this speed, the speed of the blue line behind Lingzhou seemed to be no less than the extreme speed of Lingzhou, and it was always following closely behind.

"Is this a thunderstorm? It's moving at such a fast speed!" This shocked Long Dong and others. Only then did they realize that the rumored thunderstorm was really as terrible as its reputation.

"It's fortunate that we worked together to maximize the speed of the Lingyun Boat. If it were an ordinary cultivator who was not good at speed, he would probably have no way to escape." The white-browed young man said in a low voice with a little fear.

Of course, Yang Qian and the others are not ordinary divine cultivators. They each possess some secret techniques to preserve their lives. The secret escape techniques they activate individually are not necessarily much slower than the Lingyun Boat at present.

However, the consequences of doing so will naturally cause some sequelae, either a serious damage to your vitality or a serious loss of essence and blood.

In this wild and dangerous world, no one dared to do this rashly, so this time Yang Qian and others really worked together to drive the Lingyun Boat, allowing the Lingzhou to escape tens of thousands of miles in one breath.

The blue light behind him finally disappeared, and the thunder could no longer be heard.

Everyone then felt relieved, their hearts relaxed, the spiritual light on their bodies dimmed, and they all collected their spiritual power. The speed of the spirit boat also slowed down.

"It was a close call! This time it was all thanks to Fellow Daoist Yang who discovered it in time, and Fairy Xiao who reacted quickly. Otherwise, if we had hesitated for a moment, we would have been caught in the thunderstorm. Although we would not necessarily die in it, it would have been difficult for us to escape unscathed." Long Dong's expression finally returned to normal with a relaxed smile on his face. He first bowed to Yang Qian, then smiled at Xiao Hong and said.

"I am also lucky! It was what Brother Yang said just now that reminded me!" Xiao Hong's face was still slightly pale, and she said with lingering fear.

"I also know about the Thunder Turtle, but I don't understand it very well." Yang Qian said lightly, with a slight curl of his lips and a hint of indifference in his expression.

Hearing this, Long Dong and the white-browed young man naturally had no doubts and just nodded.

However, the white-robed girl Ye Ying's two big eyes rolled around, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she looked deeply at Yang Qian's back, as if thinking about something.

She didn't quite believe what Yang Qian said and suspected that he was aware of the whereabouts of the Thunder Turtle.

"Although the Thunder Turtle is well-known, the outside world doesn't know much about its habits. There was an elder in my clan who killed a Thunder Turtle alone, so I know a little about it. Thunder turtles usually lurk underground and are reluctant to surface. They only appear to absorb the power of thunder and lightning when they sense a thunderstorm erupting somewhere. But then again, an adult Thunder Turtle will have two strange pearls in its body, one to attract thunder and the other to ward off thunder. It is said that the function is so great that even those who don't have thunder spiritual roots can easily control the power of thunder and lightning. The Thunder Turtle killed by the elder in the clan was just a baby turtle, so he didn't get these two strange pearls. However, the shell of the Thunder Turtle contains amazing thunder and lightning power, which is a rare and excellent material for refining thunder-attributed treasures. If a cultivator with great magical powers encounters this turtle, he would probably be ecstatic." Xiao Hong shook her head gently, smiled bitterly a few times, and showed a helpless and regretful expression on her face. (End of this chapter)
