For the past few days, Cheng Hao had been cultivating in seclusion at the relay station. On the other side, Hong Yi hadn't been idle either. He had actually formed a relationship with Wu Yuan Province's governor, Hou Qingchen. He had even cooperated with the city's army to destroy the White Cloud Villa thirty li away, obtaining countless resources.
According to Hong Yi, the White Cloud Villa was a stronghold of the Daluo Sect. In any case, they had already killed the Daluo Sect's white-clothed demoness. Since they had already formed an enmity, they couldn't be merciful.
Cheng Hao didn't have any objections to this. As long as it didn't affect his cultivation, he couldn't be bothered with other people's business. Moreover, Hong Yi wasn't a greedy person. He knew that Cheng Hao wasn't greedy. Thus, he had specially selected a pair of black gloves for him. It was said that the gloves were forged from rebar steel. The material was extremely precious and was very suitable for a martial arts expert like Cheng Hao.
Not only that, but Hong Yi had also found some black steel powder and smeared it all over Cheng Hao's Yin Yang Peach Divine Sword. The originally dark green color was completely dyed silver, making it look like a steel sword. The sword's original appearance was completely hidden. No matter how good one's eyesight was, they wouldn't be able to guess the sword's origin.
Cheng Hao was very satisfied with Hong Yi's actions.
Although his strength wasn't bad, he was still far from being a peak expert. Hong Yi had thought of hiding the Yin Yang Peach Divine Sword's original appearance. This would save him a lot of trouble.
.....
Five days later, everyone was galloping on the official road filled with trees. The sound of horse hooves could be heard nonstop.
On Cheng Hao's shoulder was a small golden spider the size of a kitten. It lazily looked around, interested in everything around it.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing the strange gazes of the people around it, the small golden spider felt a little unhappy. It raised its golden head and actually spoke in a little girl's voice.
Hearing this, the people around stopped watching. Anyway, it was Cheng Hao's pet, so it was not their place to worry.
Speaking of which, this matter was quite interesting. Ever since they left the Wu Yuan Provincial City, they had been running along the official road for three days. When they were setting up camp in the wilderness, they encountered this little golden bead.
However, at that time, Jin Zhu wasn't as small and honest as a kitten. At that time, its body was as big as a house. It stood proudly in front of everyone's camp and arrogantly announced that Cheng Hao and the others were its captives.
The result was self-evident. After being beaten by Cheng Hao, the little golden bead became well-behaved. It took out a technique called the Dragon Elephant Seal to save its life.
The Dragon Elephant Seal was a profound technique for refining the marrow. It could create a terrifying seal with the power of the dragon elephant. It was a seal technique from the Great Zen Temple and its power could not be underestimated.
In this regard, Cheng Hao naturally would not refuse. He now had a body technique and fist technique, but for this kind of profound martial art seal technique, naturally the more the better.
"Cheng Hao, my grandfather is one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, Golden Spider Shakyamuni. This time I escaped from my marriage. You promised to protect me from being caught by my grandfather. You can't go back on your words!"
"Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself and be a good pet, I will not go back on my words!"
Patting the soft head of the golden spider, Cheng Hao smiled proudly. With this little fellow, he could use it to contact Shakyamuni in the future. Maybe he could even get some better techniques from him.
Along the way, there were no more disturbances. Cheng Hao and the others smoothly arrived at the first big province in the South, the Shuiyang Province.
The Shuiyang Province was about three hundred miles away from the Taichang Lake. It was rich in resources and abundant in fish and rice. From the Taichang Lake, one could sail out to sea. From the upper reaches of the Taichang Lake, one could transport many goods from the South to various places. Therefore, in this province, there were many ports. There were many prosperous towns for goods transit. With the Shuiyang City as the center, it radiated out like a chessboard.
"Cheng Hao, this is the territory of my half-brother, Hong Xi. How about we rest in a small town outside the city tonight? Tomorrow I will find a ship and directly go to the Pacification Navy?"
The group of people walked into a small town. Hong Yi asked in a low voice. Although their strength was not weak, Hong Xi had been operating in the Shuiyang Province for many years. It was better not to provoke him.
"Sure!"
Cheng Hao nodded and did not say much. He did not want to cause more trouble for himself. What he urgently needed was to go to the Pacification Navy as soon as possible and find a place for himself to cultivate in peace.
The night passed silently. Early the next morning, Hong Yi brought Chi Zhuiyang, the Xiantian Martial Master, out of the small town. They only returned in the evening. After that, they packed their things and led the group to a port in the Taichang Lake.
Under the night sky, the vast Taihu Lake was very calm. The wind carried the water vapor and the lake reflected the moon. It was a peaceful and auspicious scene.
Beside the port, there was a black ship quietly docked.
This was an iron-armored flywheel boat that only the disciples of the big families in the Shuiyang Province could own. Although it was called a boat, it was not small since it could seat eighty people. It was five or six times larger than an ordinary fishing boat. The two-story hull was tightly wrapped with iron sheets.
Cheng Hao couldn't help but admire Hong Yi's communication skills. It must be known that this kind of ironclad ship couldn't be casually sent out without orders. In just one day, Hong Yi was able to find a way to get one. He was indeed very capable. In this aspect, Cheng Hao was ashamed of his inferiority.
The group of people walked up to the deck one by one. Hong Yi glanced at the sailor standing at the side and calmly ordered, "Let's go!"
After the order was given, the iron-armored flywheel boat moved like an arrow towards the depths of Taichang Lake. In just one night, they left the Shuiyang Province and arrived at the sea of the Linhai Province, outside the Pacification Navy's camp.
.....
On the sea, there was a vast fog. Within ten steps, one could only see a vague shadow. In the fog, one could smell the unique salty smell of the sea.
Cheng Hao sat cross-legged on the deck and closed his eyes to cultivate the Amitabha Sutra. For him, as long as he had time, he would not waste it. It was rare for him to obtain the method to become an immortal in this world. He did not want to waste this opportunity.
Opening his eyes, Cheng Hao glanced at the vast white fog between heaven and earth. He could not help but give an order.
"Let's dock the boat. In this foggy day, if we rashly approach the Pacification Navy's camp from the sea, I'm afraid it will easily cause misunderstandings."
Hong Yi nodded and directed the sailors to dock the boat on the shore. After carrying the heavy items off the boat, they all wore armor and rode on horses. They were fully armed and headed towards the Pacification Navy's camp.
