Chapter 20 This Is a Rare Opportunity for Humble Me!
Xu Yi suppressed the surprise on his face and tried his best not to let the two of them notice anything strange about him.
Those who had attended the wedding ceremony at the Dual Polarity Sect all sang praises about the beauty of the sect master’s husband. The two of them looked very pleasing to the eye when they stood together.
After a while, he looked at Chu Feng a few more times and was inwardly speechless. No wonder the sect master took a fancy to an ordinary person. The sect master’s husband cut a remarkable figure, it was a wonder that such a perfect man actually existed in this world.
No, he could not be considered perfect. At the very least, her husband did not have the potential to cultivate in the Martial Way.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi finally felt a little better. It appeared that the heavens were not unreasonable. If he had to choose between looks and strength, he would still choose strength.
“Xu Yi, we might encounter many dangers along the way, but with me coming along personally, you don’t have to worry too much. It’s just that I think you can also tell that my husband is just a weak and helpless man. If I’m not by his side, you have to protect him from getting injured.”
Weak and helpless?
Chu Feng could not help but laugh. He did not expect her to think of him like that!
After Ji Rui finished speaking, Xu Yi’s eyes immediately lit up.
He cupped his fists and said, “Since the sect master trusts me, I will definitely protect your husband even if I have to risk my life!”
Ji Rui nodded slowly.
Xu Yi was overjoyed. He knew that he had gained a little of the sect master’s trust. As long as he continued to express his loyalty in the future, he might really be able to win the sect master’s favor!
Chu Feng found it funny when he saw Xu Yi staring at Ji Rui with a loyal expression.
He curled his lips and said, “I think this matter is still a little inappropriate.”
“Oh?”
Ji Rui looked at Chu Feng and gestured for him to continue. “Ahem.”
“If Rui’er is not by my side and there is a woman far stronger than you who falls for my charm and wants me to submit to her, then what would you do, sect master Xu Yi?”
“This is impossible. I’ve never seen any such bold and unrestrained woman in the Divine Continent!”
Chu Feng just pouted and said, “Why not? That’s because you’re not as handsome as me and can’t feel my pain.”
At that time, he had only gone on an outing for a few days and got snatched back by Ji Rui to be her husband!
“This… the sect master’s husband really knows how to make things difficult for people.”
Xu Yi looked towards Ji Rui for help.
Ji Rui looked at him coldly and said, “Since you’re already married into the Dual Polarity Sect, you naturally have to abide by the code of conduct of a husband. If a powerful woman really takes a fancy to you, you should reject her sternly. If she forcefully does something improper to you, you should rather bite your tongue and commit suicide rather than submit to her, do you understand?”
Chu Feng was momentarily speechless.
Was she angry?
It made no sense. His wife had never bothered with him when he was being cheeky.
Why did her tone sound so grouchy today…
“Okay, it’s time to go.”
Seeing Chu Feng’s stunned expression, Ji Rui lowered her head slightly to hide her smile. Chu Feng and Xu Yi were in the midst of reevaluating their lives, so no one noticed this fleeting smile.

Ji Rui waved her sleeve lightly and a stream of air instantly appeared under the feet of the three of them. Not long after, it gathered into a misty cloud that lifted the three of them into the air and flew quickly in the direction of the Purgatory Sea.
This is simply an immortal experience! It’s almost the same as a monkey’s somersault cloud. It turns out that being a Martial Sage is so cool!
Fortunately, he did not have acrophobia. Otherwise, he would have fainted from fright looking at the layers of cloud under his feet.
Xu Yi did not share Chu Feng’s reaction to such a novel experience. It was an easy task for a Martial Sage to ride the clouds and mist, but he had never experienced it before… At this moment, his emotions were very complicated.
He knew his own limits and had never imagined that he could step into the Martial Emperor realm like Ji Zheng. However, it was not impossible for him to work hard during his remaining lifespan to reach the Martial Sage realm.
He had grasped onto the straw that was the Dual Polarity Sect and was now even more determined to advance to the Martial Sage realm.
If he could help Ji Rui find the Martial Emperor’s tomb in the Purgatory Sea and get rewarded later by the Dual Polarity Sect, wouldn’t it be an easy thing for him to level
up?
Xu Yi vowed to seize this opportunity!
After traveling for twelve days, the three of them were exhausted but the scenery in front of them finally changed.
The continuous mountain ranges had given way to a sparkling sea area in front of them. The sun was rising at this moment and the reflection of the fiery red morning sun looked like flames on the water surface. Chu Feng was overwhelmed by the sight.
When the few of them brushed past the last lush green mountain peak, Xu Yi started to become excited.
“This should be the place!”
“Sect master, please take a look. There’s a trading place called Chidong City on our left. It’s a key indicator of having reached the Purgatory Sea.”
“Usually, the most lively place near the Purgatory Sea is the Chidong City at night. As the high-level demonic beasts often appear in the Purgatory Sea at night and it gets too dangerous, everyone chooses to enter the city to hide and sell the spoils that they had hunted.
After hearing Xu Yi’s words, Chu Feng fell into deep thought.
He had heard of these spoils, it was actually referring to the essence crystal that could be found in the head of a demonic beast. Generally speaking, ordinary demonic beasts would not produce essence crystals and only the high-level demonic beasts would have them. However, the magical power of such demonic beasts was also very powerful.
The essence crystals from the heads of high-level demonic beasts could definitely be sold for a good price and the huge profits attracted wave after wave of warriors to this place. In that case, Chidong City was actually more like a large-scale trading place.
“Sect master, every day many fleets will go out to sea to hunt demonic beasts to obtain supplies. I think we can sneak into the Purgatory Sea with one of the fleets. This will also save us a lot of trouble.”
“We’ll stay at Chidong City tonight.”
Ji Rui nodded gently and waved her sleeve. The “cloud” under their feet moved towards the black city.
However, as soon as they landed, several arrows were shot towards them with murderous intent!
But how would people of their strength be intimidated by mere arrows?
Xu Yi took a firm step forward and gave a big shout. The spiritual energy in his body surged out and all the arrows shattered into pieces under the power of his seventh-stage Grandmaster cultivation.
“Who’s hiding behind the attack?”

Xu Yi turned to look at the bushes in the distance. His voice was exceptionally loud.
Chu Feng also looked over.
“Tsk tsk, I really didn’t expect this trip to the Purgatory Sea to be so dangerous. Someone launched a sneak attack as soon as we landed.”
He sighed and regretted not being strong-willed enough and to have allowed Ji Rui to bring him to this godforsaken place.
The few people hiding in the bushes also understood that they had been spotted.
