The moment the notification sounded, Ouyang Shuo eagerly took a look at the stats of the emperor seal

Name: Emperor Seal (God Rank)

Type: Secret Treasure

Specialty: Ward Off Devils and Spirits (incorruptible and helps to chase away evil). Watch over Nanjiang (the territory under the Lord's jurisdiction isn't limited to the land area of the territory. The entire Nanjiang will be under the authority of the wielder of the seal, protected and recognized by the imperial court). Conferred Lord (10% increase in people’s sentiment). Protection of Fate (using the might of the emperor to lead the fate and prosperity of the territory and protect the people.)

Evaluation: this is an unlocked Emperor Seal, injected with the spirit of a Qilin. It can affect the fate of an entire country; it is a pinnacle treasure, a necessity for establishing a country.

After checking the stats, Ouyang Shuo was actually a little disappointed. The rank of the seal had gone up to god rank but its stats did not change much.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that it would only show its might when the time came to establish a country.

After stowing away the bones of the old Qilin in his storage bag, Ouyang Shuo turned and left the dragon tomb. Walking out of the valley, he found Little Green, who still stood guard loyally.

"Go, let’s go!" Ouyang Shuo smiled.

As the sun set, one man and one beast disappeared from the desolate island.

Spratly Islands region, a certain unnamed island.

Zheng He’s squadron had rested for three days. For three days, there were no sounds or signals from the soul of the squadron. The entire squadron had fallen into a weird and suppressive state.

The storm and the sneak attack from the octopus monsters had caused the squadron to lose five hundred men. Additionally, seawater had soaked some of the items that the squadron had brought, rendering the items unusable.

The most serious matter was that some of the members had suddenly fallen ill to ocean diseases. The entire medical team was incredibly busy, turning around and around before being able to slightly control the illnesses. After all, many of the sailors were travelling long distance for the first time, so it was unsurprising that they were not used to it.

Successive blows meant that the squadron could not function normally. They relied on Admiral Zheng He and their strong mental strength to hold on.

Now, even Zheng He was barely holding on.

From the temporarily built commander tent, intense quarrelling noises spread out.

"We can't wait any longer, we have to find the Lord!" A man's rough voice exclaimed. His tone was exceedingly uncourteous, anxious, and impatient.

"I have already arranged for cima boats to search around." The other voice was extremely gentle and special. Putting it bluntly, it sounded rather girlish.

Obviously, this voice belonged to an eunuch.

In the entire squadron, apart from Zheng He, there was no second person it could be.

"Cima boats? That's far from enough, we need to arrange the main squadron to look." The brutish man did not agree, "If you don't go, I'll bring my own men out to look for the Lord."

"No!" Zheng He's attitude remained resolute.

"A**h*le, you actually don't care about the safety of the Lord!" The one standing in front of Zheng He was Personal Guards Captain Chen Dameng. Seeing Zheng He shake his head, Chen Dameng stared at the other man with eyes as big as a cow’s.

As the Personal Guards Captain and the commander of one thousand Divine Martial Guards, he held a truly special position in the voyage squadron. Even the admiral lacked power over him.

During the storm, they could not help, and the Lord had to face the enemy alone, leaving Chen Dameng extremely ashamed.

If it was not for the Lord's orders, Chen Dameng would have simply gone over to try and help. After the storm had passed, the squadron followed the Lord's instructions and found a desolate island. However, Chen Dameng's heart did not feel at ease for even a moment.

Every day, he would bug Zheng He to let him lead troops to look for the Lord.

Zheng He had headed down to the west seven times, and he had seen nearly everything. At this moment, remaining calm was the most important, waiting patiently was the best choice.

However, this barbaric horse did not want to back off.

They had not only quarreled for one or two times. As time went on, the conflicts grew in intensity, to the point where the situation was unsalvageable.

"My conscience is fine. The Lord let me lead this squadron, so I have the responsibility to ensure their safety." Facing Chen Dameng’s accusations, Zheng He remained unfazed.

"A**h*le!"

Chen Dameng could not hold it in anymore, and he pulled out the massive blade by his waist.

"Protect the admiral!"

Seeing his actions, the soldiers around the tent all pulled out their blades and stared at Chen Dameng with severity. These were the Personal Guards that Ouyang Shuo had assigned to Zheng He.

The atmosphere in the tent instantly turned extremely tense.

"Back down!" Zheng He frowned and solemnly commanded.

"Admiral!"

When Zheng He's Personal Guards heard his words, their expressions turned a little anxious.

"Back down!" Zheng He raised his tone.

"Yes!"

The Personal Guards could only helplessly back out of the tent.

During the entire process, Chen Dameng stood fearless, and he just stared coldly at this scene, "One day, at most, I’ll wait for one more day. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I'll head out to sea once this one day passes."

After leaving this final sentence, Chen Dameng turned around and left.

When Zheng He saw Chen Dameng leave, he let out a long sigh. For the first time, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

……

Morning of the next day, it was still bright and sunny. The ocean surface was like a mirror, without any waves.

Suddenly, the sun rose up.

The orange red sun slowly climbed up from the ocean horizon and shone downward. The ocean was a clear blue, while the light of the sun was a warm orange red like the milky way in the sky.

With his back facing the rising sun, a man slowly walked toward the shore.

That's right, he was walking.

The man did not have a boat under his feet, but he was approaching the desolate island at a rapid rate. Under the cover of the sun, he cast a long shadow on the surface of the water; he was like an immortal from the heavens.

Only if someone was close would they notice a beast beneath the man’s feet. The beast had a vicious head, and a sharp horn popped out on the ocean surface, looking exceedingly domineering.

Weirdly, in front of the man, the beast was extremely gentle.

One man, one beast, so harmonious and close.

"Lord, the Lord is back!"

The patrolling cima boats had finally found traces of the man, and they could not help but holler.

Instantly, the entire island grew excited.

Cheers broke out incessantly.

"Lord, where is the Lord?"

Chen Dameng was like a wild horse, and he charged out of his tent and looked around frantically. Following the noise, he noticed a man that was gradually approaching shore.

"It really is the Lord!" This valiant man was actually tearing up.

When Zheng He received the news and walked out of his tent, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes. Seeing Chen Dameng and looking at his eyes, Zheng He laughed. action

"What are you looking at? Sand entered my eyes." Chen Dameng shouted, as he walked away self-confidently.

The distance between the two had suddenly shortened.

……

The return of Ouyang Shuo was a massive blessing to the voyage squadron.

After the battle during the storm, Ouyang Shuo was not just their Lord but their king, their hero.

They could not imagine how the Lord had managed to escape from that terrifying beast.

As they said, if one doesn't face storms, how would there be a rainbow?

The voyage squadron had become united after all the trouble, and their morale was now sky high. Their loyalty to their Lord had also reached a whole new level.

Of course, the road had to go on.

The voyaging mission had just begun.

That afternoon, after the squadron packed up, they once again set off and sailed away.
