Chapter 1487 Bloody Slaughterer Xiaoshan
After getting the chart from Mrs. Lin, Ye Chunyang worked non-stop, aiming directly at Lingshan Island overseas. He flew at sea for five days and finally arrived here.
But what he didn't expect was that there was a natural fog barrier in front of this sea area. Even with the chart, it was difficult to find a way out. He happened to meet this caravan going to Lingshan Island to transport supplies. The familiarity of Lingshan Island can help them pass through the fog barrier.
Arriving at the training room in the cabin, Ye Chunyang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, while Yu Guzi stood outside respectfully.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiyuan was suspicious for a while. The old man surnamed Yao in the lounge opposite also looked at them several times, with obvious doubts in his eyes.
Zhang Zhiyuan is a mortal and cannot sense the realms and cultivations of Ye Chunyang and Yu Guzi, but the old man surnamed Yao can clearly see that both of them are at the perfect Taoist realm, but Yu Guzi respects Ye Chunyang like a loyal slave. This is really disappointing. He couldn't figure it out.
However, the old man surnamed Yao didn't pay much attention and simply closed the door to meditate.
The ship quickly calmed down. After Zhang Zhiyuan and Ye Chunyang entered the cabin, they returned to the deck and stared at the vast sea.
"Master, if we go a few miles further we will reach the 'Unburied Sea Area'. Not only does this place have natural fog barriers, but it is also a place frequented by pirates. We need to be careful," the guard said from behind.
"Yes, the 'Unburied Sea Area' is extremely dangerous and dangerous. I don't know how many caravans have been buried here."
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded solemnly, turned around and told the guards: "Send the order, be on full alert. After entering the Unburied Sea Area, light up the mysterious fire lamp and speed up!"
"yes!"
The guards took the order and left.
Zhang Zhiyuan then looked forward again, his brows furrowed.
The Unburied Sea is known as the "Sea of Death". The natural fog barrier in it covers thousands of miles, and there is no end in sight. I don't know how many caravans have entered and never come out. Pirates like to stay here and use the natural fog barrier. While hiding, he also took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot the surrounding caravans.
Therefore, although there were many caravans nearby, there were only a few that could really cooperate with the Yaoshen Sect. Zhang Zhiyuan did not know how much he suffered and how many benefits he paid tribute to the pirates before he found some connections.
Of course, the Yaoshen Sect also hated these islands that they took advantage of, but the pirates used the fog barrier to hide and their whereabouts were unpredictable. The Yaoshen Sect could not uproot them several times and continued to rampage after a period of time.
Over time, the Yaoshen Sect no longer wanted to waste their energy here, and although the pirates were arrogant, they did not dare to go against the Yaoshen Sect, and the two sides were on the same page.
As a result, passing caravans can only wish for themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyuan rubbed his temples, feeling a pain in his head.
"I hope I can be luckier this time. After all, I have given those pirates a lot of benefits. I think they won't be too embarrassed."
Zhang Zhiyuan sighed secretly.
He looked at the cabin again, his eyes flickering.
"Master Yao took my offering and personally promised to escort the pirates. With him here, even if we encounter pirates, we should be able to resist them. The other two monks who joined halfway, since their purpose is also Lingshan Island, I want to come When there is a real crisis, I will not stand by and watch.”
Thinking like this, Zhang Zhiyuan gradually settled down.
Compared to the past, their lineup this time is much stronger.
What follows is a period of moving forward.
The wind roared on the sea, the huge waves crashed on the deck, and the rumble echoed endlessly.
After traveling for about a hundred miles, the sky gradually darkened.
I don't know when, a burst of white mist floated in front of me. Everyone on the boat intuitively had their sight blocked, and they couldn't see clearly within ten feet with the naked eye.
It's like sailing into a vast world, the surroundings are calm, and there is no sound anymore. Only the merchant ships touch the sea and send out ripples.
"Entering the Unburied Sea!"
"Light up the mysterious fire lamp!"
An order sounded on the ship, and a row of lights shone from bow to stern, making the entire merchant ship extremely bright.
These lights were extremely bright, and a passage was actually reflected in the originally white sea area.
Ye Chunyang sat quietly in the cabin, as if an old monk had entered trance, his expression unchanged.
At this time, Yu Guzi outside the door let out a cry of surprise.
Ye Chunyang slowly opened his eyes and saw Yu Guzi looking around in the cabin with a suspicious look on his face.
"What happened?" Ye Chunyang asked.
"Senior, look at these lights, they can actually penetrate the fog barrier and reflect the sea route." Yu Guzi said curiously.
Ye Chunyang glanced slightly and found that the "mysterious fire lamps" held by these guards were indeed a bit strange, and he was also surprised.
"This is probably the unique way for these caravans to enter and exit this fog barrier. By following them, we can reach Lingshan Island." Ye Chunyang calmed down and continued to close his eyes and rest.
Yu Guzi stopped talking and stayed quietly outside.
The surroundings were silent, and except for the white mist, there was nothing in sight, let alone other caravans coming and going.
On the deck, Zhang Zhiyuan stood attentively, his face full of vigilance.
The route from the coast of Zhongzhou to Lingshan Island is the most dangerous. If you are not careful, you may get lost in the fog. Once you lose your way, you may never get out.
Moreover, one must beware of raids by pirates. With the ferocity of those pirates, if one is targeted, the consequences will be disastrous.
But perhaps it was God’s blessing. After marching for several hours, the surroundings were still peaceful.
After traveling for more than ten miles, we were already deep into the fog barrier, and nothing unexpected happened.
Zhang Zhiyuan gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
The guards on the ship were relieved to see that everything was fine.
"Master, this area is where pirates often appear. There is nothing unusual at the moment. It seems that we can successfully reach Lingshan Island this time." A confidant smiled and saluted.
"That being said, don't be too happy too soon." Zhang Zhiyuan said seriously: "Order it down, no one should relax their vigilance, and must ensure that they pass through the fog barrier safely."
The confidant bowed and responded.
Just as he was about to retreat, there seemed to be a breeze blowing beside him, and the confidant suddenly stopped and stopped in place.
"What's the matter? Didn't you hear what I said? Go down and pass the order!" Zhang Zhiyuan saw this and said coldly with a stern face.
But strangely found that the confidant did not respond.
"Plop."
Suddenly, the confidant fell backwards, a bloody hole appeared in his head, and blood flowed out. He died on the spot without any warning.
Then, a little finger-sized blood needle flew out from the confidant's forehead, circled at low altitude, and flashed into the thick fog somewhere.
Zhang Zhiyuan raised his head in his heart, and several black shadows emerged from the surrounding white fog. Several huge ships quickly attacked this place and surrounded them tightly.
On the huge ship, a group of burly men with a fierce breath grinned and stared at them as if they saw prey.
"Pirates!"
Everyone, including Zhang Zhiyuan, was frightened and pale when they saw this scene.
"Hehe, this period of time is really a good harvest, and another piece of fat meat is delivered to the door."
A sinister laugh came from a huge ship in front, and a burly man with a huge knife on his back and bare arms came over, looking at Zhang Zhiyuan's merchant ship with greed.
This bare-chested man has a strong breath, and he is also a perfect cultivator in the Dao Foundation Realm.
Zhang Zhiyuan saw this scene, and his hands trembled slightly.
However, after he looked at the big man, his face was slightly happy, and he stepped forward and bowed, saying: "So it's Senior Xiao, I'm Zhang Zhiyuan, I paid tribute to you three years ago, I wonder if you still remember me?"
The big man surnamed Xiao looked at Zhang Zhiyuan for a few times, grinned, and said: "Zhang Zhiyuan? I do have some impression, it seems that three years ago you sent people to send me a lot of spiritual materials and treasures, but the people you sent at that time were all killed by me with a knife, and the women were also distributed to my men, they were very satisfied with this, hahaha..."
When Zhang Zhiyuan heard this, his face was a little ugly, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The big man surnamed Xiao was named Xiaoshan, a famous pirate in the Wuzang Sea. He was originally a casual cultivator, and later he gradually became a leader with his extraordinary cultivation and fierce means. The passing caravans were terrified of him, and other pirates were also afraid of him.
Zhang Zhiyuan thought in his heart, and smiled apologetically: "That's right, Senior Xiao and I are old acquaintances. This time I am escorting supplies to Lingshan Island, please give me some leniency and let us pass through the Wuzang Sea smoothly."
As he said, he took a large box from a servant and handed it to the big man named Xiao.
"It's just a small gift, please accept it." Zhang Zhiyuan opened the box, which was full of golden gold.
Xiaoshan raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and grabbed it, and the box flew in front of him as if it had wings.
Touching the gold, Xiaoshan smiled and looked satisfied.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyuan's expression became more relaxed.
But before he could let go of his worries, his heart suddenly became cold.
Xiaoshan's smile faded, and he suddenly raised his palm and chopped it down with a knife, and the gold in the box immediately turned into debris.
"Senior, this..." Zhang Zhiyuan's face changed wildly.
"Do you think I am the same as you ignorant mortals, coveting this gold? What I want is spiritual stones and medicinal materials. What use do I have for the money of you mortals?" Xiaoshan said with a cold look.
Zhang Zhiyuan's face was livid. This was hundreds of taels of gold, which ordinary people could not earn in ten years, and it was destroyed like this.
"Stop talking nonsense. I want to keep your merchant ship today. In front of me, you mortals are just ants. I can crush them to death with a flip of my hand."
Xiaoshan flicked his fingers and said with a sneer on his face.
"Boss, there are several beautiful women on this ship. It would be a pity to kill them."
A Taoist foundation realm minor success cultivator with a gloomy face laughed.
"Oh, really?" Xiaoshan glanced around. There were indeed several young women curled up and shivering on the ship. Immediately, his eyes were playful: "In this case, considering that this person once paid tribute to us, only the women and supplies will be left. The rest, jump into the sea and swim back!"
The pirates laughed wildly when they heard this.
Zhang Zhiyuan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Could it be that he really had no way out today?
"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the Bloody Slaughterer Xiaoshan. Yao is here today, I wonder if Brother Xiao can give me a favor?"
An old voice came from the cabin.
