The big ship braved the wind and waves, leaving a long trace of white waves on the undulating sea.
Zhen Ming and a group of direct disciples stood on the deck, talking loudly to the vast and endless sea. They were in high spirits and very happy.
Zhen Ming felt even better about himself. He had used Gao Zhengyang to suppress Su Bai and show off in front of Zhen Xiu.
Zhen Xiu could not bear to watch anymore. She turned around and bowed to Gao Zhengyang. "Disciple Zhen Xiu greets Master Xuan Yang."
His voice wasn't loud, but it drowned out everyone else's voices.
The many direct disciples, who were talking happily, all felt their scalps go numb when they heard the words' Master Xuan Yang '.
The Heartsword Sect valued seniority the most. Gao Zhengyang was a sinner who had been sent to the Ghost Prison Sea Area, so many true disciples naturally did not care. Zhen Ming also dared to call him by his name.
However, it was fine to talk behind his back. If they were caught by Gao Zhengyang in person, it would be a little troublesome.
If Gao Zhengyang seized this point and made a fuss, everyone would inevitably be charged with "disrespecting the teacher". However, the charge was not a big deal. They were afraid that Gao Zhengyang would not spare them and would scold and insult them in public, and they would have to accept it obediently.
Even if Gao Zhengyang punished them, they would not dare to fight back.
Therefore, many true disciples looked particularly ugly when they saw Gao Zhengyang.
This made Su Bai and Yuan Li very happy. Just now, everyone was shouting excitedly, as if they were about to go to heaven. They even ridiculed Su Bai and Yuan Li.
There was no movement now, right? Su Bai looked at the embarrassed Zhen Ming and thought to himself, Why don't you jump?
Zhen Ming was already feeling guilty, and when Gao Zhengyang's deep and clear eyes swept over him, he was even more frightened. He cupped his hands and bowed honestly. "Disciple Zhen Ming greets Master Xuan Yang."
He did not know how long Gao Zhengyang had been here, nor did he know how much Gao Zhengyang had heard. He could only bow his head and pretend to be dead.
It was the same for the other direct disciples. Some of them had wanted to rely on their superior cultivation to fight against Gao Zhengyang head-on. But when Gao Zhengyang glanced at them, everyone was terrified.
Even Zhen Fang, who was shouting the loudest, was so scared that her body went soft. Her mind was a mess, and she had no idea what to do.
The group of direct disciples who were acting all high and mighty just a moment ago were now like children who were caught by a strict teacher for making a mistake. They obediently lowered their heads in front of Gao Zhengyang, not daring to even let out a fart.
Su Bai and Yuan Li also felt this pressure, but they were not so guilty and were calmer than a group of direct disciples.
This silence continued for a while. The group of direct disciples didn't dare to raise their heads. Some of them were already drenched in sweat.
"Next time, don't gossip so loudly behind people's backs. It's too noisy."
Gao Zhengyang waved his horsetail whisk. "Disperse."
Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned. They saluted and hurriedly retreated. Soon, everyone on the deck had left, leaving only Zhen Xiu.
Amused, Gao Zhengyang asked, "Why didn't you leave?"
"Master Uncle Xuan Yang, I apologize on their behalf. It was very rude of us to talk about you behind your back just now. "
Zhen Xiu said and bowed again. Her posture was gentle and elegant, pleasing to the eye.
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "You didn't say anything; there's no need to do this."
Zhen Xiu shook her head. "We cultivators shouldn't gossip behind people's backs like this. What's the difference between us and ordinary people? "
"Cultivators are also human."
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "We're just stronger and have a longer lifespan. In essence, we're actually a very boring life, pushed forward by our instincts. Cultivation is so boring, so it's necessary to talk about others behind their backs. "
Zhen Xiu was stunned. She did not expect Gao Zhengyang to say this.
Gao Zhengyang said again, "You're called Zhen Xiu. Yes, you're very good."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Uncle." Zhen Xiu felt a little awkward. Gao Zhengyang seemed to be complimenting her, but it sounded a little awkward.
Gao Zhengyang looked at Zhen Xiu's face and said seriously, "You're very beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in this realm."
Zhen Xiu did not know how to reply. Gao Zhengyang seemed to be teasing her, but his attitude was sincere and natural. There was no hint of perverted sneakiness.
"You can leave."
Gao Zhengyang suddenly smiled and waved his horsetail whisk, indicating that Zhen Xiu could leave. "I have no resistance towards beautiful and cute girls. If you stay any longer, I might fall in love with you. "
Zhen Xiu was stunned. These words sounded very perverted, but they had a kind of charm to them. Of course, this was mainly because Gao Zhengyang was charming enough.
She did not dare to look at Gao Zhengyang anymore. She bowed and left hurriedly.
Gao Zhengyang looked at Zhen Xiu's slightly embarrassed figure and found it interesting.
"As the Master Uncle, it's not good for you to tease your Martial Nephew."
A purple-clothed female cultivator suddenly appeared beside Gao Zhengyang. She wore a hibiscus crown and a purple Daoist robe. Her silver hair was like frost, but her face was like that of a young woman in her thirties.
The female cultivator was not beautiful, especially her triangular eyes, which gave people a vicious and fierce feeling. She looked at Gao Zhengyang with a gaze as sharp as a blade, very unkind.
Gao Zhengyang had seen this female cultivator before. This person was Zhen Xiu's Master, Xuan Guo. This woman's character was tough and aggressive, and she was also well-known in the sect for being difficult to provoke.
In terms of identity, Xuan Guo was the Spirit Sword Peak's Peak Master, but she was much higher than Gao Zhengyang.
The Ultimate Sword Peak only had three to five people. Compared with the Spirit Sword Peak, which had thousands of disciples, the difference was too big. Moreover, the Spirit Sword Peak had several Nascent Soul Sword Elders, which had a very high voice in the sect.
For such a character, let alone Gao Zhengyang, even Yuan Ling had to give face.
However, Gao Zhengyang didn't care. He had already offended the Sect Leader, so what about Xuan Guo? Although Xuan Guo was the Peak Master, she couldn't really do anything to him.
Even if he took ten thousand steps back, he was not afraid.
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "The sect does not prohibit dual cultivation. There are many examples of cross-generation dual cultivation in the past. Even if I want to become Zhen Xiu's Daoist Companion, that's normal. Besides, I just said a few words of praise, what's the problem? "
Xuan Guo sneered. "Don't act recklessly just because you have a higher seniority. The sect's criminal law is not a joke."
"How am I acting recklessly?"
Gao Zhengyang said to Xuan Guo, "Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense. Don't take it for granted. "
Xuan Guo was greatly surprised. Just now, Gao Zhengyang easily let go of many Successor Disciples. She thought that Gao Zhengyang had a gentle character. Unexpectedly, after saying a few words, Gao Zhengyang's attitude became tough and directly confronted her.
Gao Zhengyang was a bit amused as he said, "Those disciples are young and ignorant. As an elder, I naturally won't lower myself to their level. But Senior Brother, you are different. Your status is above me. You shouldn't talk nonsense like a child. "
Xuan Guo's face was gloomy. She had cultivated for almost a thousand years but was being lectured by a little brat. But she was indeed not in the right. Although Gao Zhengyang's words were a bit inappropriate, they weren't excessive.
The key was that Gao Zhengyang's aura was deep and profound. He was on par with her and didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. This made Xuan Guo unable to see through Gao Zhengyang's strength.
Moreover, it was just a small conflict of words. It was far from the level of fighting.
"Anyways, stay away from my disciple Zhen Xiu."
Xuan Guo didn't want to argue with Gao Zhengyang. After warning him, she flicked her sleeves and left.
Gao Zhengyang watched as Xuan Guo left. He smiled and said to himself, "Now that you've said it, I'm interested. What if you tell me? "
Xuan Guo's cultivation was profound. Of course she heard Gao Zhengyang's words. Her footsteps paused, but she didn't say anything. Only killing intent was emitting from her body.
Although the murderous aura disappeared in a flash, everyone on the ship felt a chill down their spines.
Although most of them didn't know what happened, they could feel the oppressive atmosphere.
After that, no one on the ship dared to speak loudly. No one dared to go on the deck. The ship sailed in the quietest manner towards the Ghost Prison Sea.
It wasn't until they reached the Ghost Prison Sea that the oppressive atmosphere was broken.
The Ghost Prison Sea's seawater was ink-black. The sky was even more dusky. Even the sun was a white circle.
The ink-black seawater was also abnormally turbulent. Each wave was at least seven to eight feet high.
The entire sea was filled with an indescribable chill. As soon as the ship entered the sea, everyone felt a strong sense of unease.
It was like walking on a secluded road at night and faintly seeing a suspicious figure on the side of the road.
In comparison, the tense atmosphere between Xuan Guo and Gao Zhengyang was not even worth mentioning.
Under this situation, Xuan Guo couldn't argue with Gao Zhengyang anymore. She organized everyone to gather on the deck, and personally cheered everyone on.
Xuan Guo's verbal encouragement actually contained some kind of secret technique. Everyone who received the secret technique regained their calm.
As for Xuan Ye who was in charge of the trial, she was like a decoration, and didn't have any sense of existence.
Even Gao Zhengyang felt that Xuan Ye was a little too dispirited. As the person in charge, Xuan Ye was really too irresponsible. Of course, with Xuan Guo present, it was not Xuan Ye's turn to manage.
On the second day after the ship entered the Ghost Prison Sea, they met with an attack.
It was a school of huge fish with wings, they looked a little like sharks, just that they had translucent wings. Although these huge fish could not fly very far, their speed was very fast.
Furthermore, these huge fish could even spit out water arrows.
When a water arrow was spat out, its power was comparable to a crossbow.
This school of huge fish continuously slid in the air, and when they saw people, they would spit out water arrows. Caught off guard, a few sailors were injured by the water arrows.
"These are Flying Swordfish. Their skin can be peeled off to make armor, which can resist swords and knives. It can also avoid water and is an excellent material …"
An experienced sailor recognized these big fish and shouted loudly, reminding everyone to pay attention. "There's a white line under the belly of the Flying Swordfish. That's their fatal weakness."
Su Bai and the others all pulled out their swords. They were not qualified to refine flying swords, but with their sharp swords, as long as they cut the white line under the belly of the Flying Swordfish, they would definitely be fatal.
If they cut other places, the slippery and tough fish skin could withstand most of the damage, and the sword blade could penetrate deep.
Of course, under the high-level flying swords, these Flying Swordfish were vulnerable.
After Zhen Xiu, Zhen Ming, and the others came out, they released their flying swords one after another. The sharp sword light slashed across, and the Flying Swordfish were cut in half.
Every direct disciple in this trial had a flying sword. A dozen of them attacked, but they were more powerful than more than a hundred inner disciples.
More than a dozen flying swords flew in the air, and the Flying Swordfish fell one after another.
After a while, all the Flying Swordfish were annihilated. The sea was full of Flying Swordfish corpses with their white bellies turned upside down.
Although Su Bai was proud and arrogant, he had to admit that flying swords were indeed killing weapons. They were by no means comparable to ordinary swords.
No matter how good a person's swordsmanship was, they still needed to be controlled by others. The range that the blade could cover was limited. Flying swords, on the other hand, could be as far as a hundred feet, and their changes were guided by the divine sense without leaving any traces.
Compared with mortal martial arts and sword techniques, flying swords were a hundred times more complicated and fast. Even if the power of the two was similar, the combat power they displayed was huge.
The skin of the Flying Swordfish was a good material, so it naturally could not be wasted. The sailors opened their big nets and tried their best to catch them.
A group of inner disciples surrounded Zhen Xiu, Zhen Ming, and the others and flattered them.
Su Bai could not stand it anymore, but he had nothing to say. After all, the flying swords of the direct disciples were powerful, and he was far from comparable.
However, he felt that it was because he did not have a flying sword. The two sides only had a difference in swords, so he was not convinced by this group of direct disciples.
Zhen Xiu did not like this kind of flattery and excused herself to leave.
Zhen Ming and the others, on the other hand, were very proud. They had been depressed on the ship for more than twenty days and could finally vent their frustrations through the battle. Of course, they were all very happy.
What's more, the inner disciples flattered them so enthusiastically. If they did not enjoy it, they would be letting down the inner disciples' efforts.
It was not until Xuanye came out and arranged things for everyone that the direct disciples found an excuse to slip away.
Towards an old and powerless Tier Nine, these personal disciples really looked down on him. Xuanye did not force them, as long as these people did not make trouble.
Zhen Ming, Zhen Fang, and the others returned to their rooms. The group of direct disciples was still unsatisfied and could not help but discuss the battle just now.
In the end, everyone recognized Zhen Ming and Zhen Xiu as the most outstanding ones, killing nearly half of the Flying Swordfish.
It was a pity that Zhen Xiu was not there, so many male cultivators could not find someone to flatter and could not help but feel a little disappointed.
As everyone talked, Zhen Fang talked about Gao Zhengyang. "That Master Xuan Yang didn't show up either. Is he afraid of getting hurt?"
"Master Xuan Yang's cultivation level isn't good enough, so don't come out and make trouble."
Zhen Ming said laughingly. "Didn't you see those inner disciples? They are all panicking and jumping up and down like monkeys."
Everyone roared with laughter again, feeling extremely delighted in their hearts.
Everyone laughed loudly, Zhen Xiu could faintly hear the noise from her master Xuan Guo's room.
Xuan Guo frowned slightly, she was very dissatisfied with this group of direct disciples. She looked down on Gao Zhengyang, but she could not tolerate low level disciples being disrespectful to Gao Zhengyang. These were two different things.
Zhen Xiu understood her master's temper and quickly smiled. "Master, the Ghost Prison Sea Region is really dangerous, we just entered and we already met this group of flying fish …"
Xuan Guo doted on this disciple a lot, although she knew that her disciple was changing the topic, she still nodded and said. "The demonic beasts of the Ghost Prison Sea Region are infected by demonic energy and are very aggressive. However, the demonic beasts here are very valuable and have no brains. Even if a normal person finds a way, they can deal with them. Every year, large numbers of mortal fishermen come to the Ghost Prison Sea Region to fish and hunt … "
"Are they crazy?" Zhen Xiu could not understand, even a sect as strong as them would be attacked. Aren't those mortal boats courting death by entering here? "
"Mortals have their own intelligence, their lives are short, so they are naturally eager for quick success. You don't understand, and you don't need to understand. "
Xuan Guo shook her head, thinking for a bit and said. "Next, we will go to the center of the Ghost Prison Sea Region, Ghost Prison Island. There are hundreds of millions of mortals on the island, they have lived there for generations, but most of them have never even seen the sea. When you reach Ghost Prison Island, you only need to train by the sea, you don't need to enter the deep sea. It won't be very dangerous. "
"I have a few protective magic artifacts, I will be fine."
Zhen Xiu promised. "Master, don't worry, I won't run around."
"You are steady. It's just that Zhen Ming and the rest are impulsive, they are not useful. Don't be influenced by them. "
Xuan Guo spoke of Zhen Ming and the rest, full of disdain. "They look down on Xuan Yang, a bunch of idiots."
"Is Martial Uncle Xuan Yang very powerful?"
Zhen Xiu was actually very curious about Gao Zhengyang, but her master obviously had a problem with Gao Zhengyang, so she naturally would not ask. This time when Xuan Guo brought it up, she couldn't help but ask.
"This Xuan Yang can't be underestimated."
Xuan Guo couldn't help but sigh, she had underestimated Gao Zhengyang at the time. She didn't expect this person to have such a pure cultivation in less than a year.
The sect master put him in the Ghost Prison Sea Region to train him. However, the Ghost Prison Sea Region was not ordinary, it would not be easy for Xuan Yang to form his core here.
Of course, sect master Xuan Hai didn't care. It would be good if Xuan Yang succeeded, but if he didn't, he would have to pay for his mistake.
Hearing Xuan Guo say this, Zhen Xiu became even more curious. "Is Martial Uncle Xuan Yang stronger than me?"
"Don't compare yourself to him."
Xuan Guo said gloomily. "This person's background is mysterious, he must have a big secret on him. Stay away from him. "
Zhen Xiu nodded. "I will definitely stay away from him."
"Although this person made a Heart Sword Oath, he is too deep and unfathomable."
Xuan Guo said. "If it wasn't so, why would the sect master send him here."
Gao Zhengyang had killed the Item Spirit Tian Yi in less than a year. Indeed, Xuan Hai could not figure out Gao Zhengyang's situation.
Zhen Xiu didn't say anything, but she was more and more curious about Gao Zhengyang. Humans were like this, they were naturally interested in mysterious things.
The next three days were all smooth sailing.
Everyone on the big ship felt at ease. Many disciples discussed that the Ghost Prison Sea Region was only so so.
On the morning of the fourth day, Zhen Ming and the others were doing their daily cultivation when they heard the whistle for an emergency assembly.
Zhen Ming and the others didn't know what was going on, but when they got to the deck, they found that the situation was bad.
There was a giant black pillar of water in the distance, it was connected to the ocean below and the sky above. The slowly spinning water pillar seemed to have the power to sweep everything.
Although the sect's ship was big, it was like a speck of dust in front of the giant water pillar that connected the sky to the ocean.
Giant waves that were tens of feet high were formed on the black ocean surface. Luckily the ship was floating on the ocean surface and couldn't feel the waves. But the giant black waves that came crashing down were like a landslide.
That vast and mighty force of nature caused all the disciples to turn pale with fright. Compared to this, a mere flying sword was nothing.
Xuan Guo and Xuan Ye floated high in the air, looking at the black pillar of water, their expressions were solemn.
"Tenth rank great demon, it should be the legendary Sea Swallowing Demon Whale!"
Although Xuan Ye didn't care about anything, she was very experienced and had a good understanding of the Ghost Prison Sea Region. Just by looking at the aura that swept across the sky and sea, she could roughly guess the other party's identity.
"Sea Swallowing Demon Whale!"
Xuan Guo also felt that it was very troublesome, this kind of great demon didn't have high intelligence, but its demonic power was extremely strong. Although her flying sword was sharp, it was hard to deal with such a coarse and thick skinned great demon.
She asked. "Is it too late to leave now?"
"Sea Swallowing Demon Whale rides the ocean, its demonic power covers ten thousand miles. We can leave, but the ship can't. Many disciples can't leave. "
Xuan Ye was also in a difficult position, they could ride the wind and leave easily. But the inner sect disciples couldn't do it. Although they had talismans that allowed them to temporarily fly, it was far from being able to leave the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale.
The huge ship's goods were extremely valuable, but that was fine. Most importantly, the inner sect disciples were all the sect's elites. They couldn't just leave them like this.
"We can only fight!" Xuan Guo had a strong personality, since they couldn't leave, they could only fight to the death. But this kind of huge demon needed suitable talismans to be easy to deal with. Just using flying swords was very difficult.
Xuan Guo returned to the deck and said to the people below: "In front of us is the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale, we can't avoid it, we can only fight. Who dares to fight together? "
Zhen Ming, Zhen Fang and the other direct disciples had ashen expressions. Just by looking at it from afar, they could feel its monstrous aura, they didn't dare to fight. Only Zhen Xiu had a strong will, she had enough courage to fly on her sword. "Master, I will go too."
Xuan Guo smiled at Zhen Xiu: "As expected of my disciple. Not bad. "
Zhen Ming and the others were stimulated, they all flew on their swords and shouted: "I will go too."
"I will go too."
Only two of the more than ten direct disciples really did not have the courage to fight. They stood on the deck with their heads shrunk, looking extremely embarrassed.
Even Su Bai and Yuan Li flew up. Although the two Rank 7 martial artists could only fight in close combat, they at least had to show courage.
Zhen Ming nodded at them. No matter what, it was courage to stand up. Looking at the cowardly appearance of his two junior brothers, he suddenly felt a bit of heroism in his heart. At least they could not be as cowardly as these two cowards!
He could not help but ask, "Why isn't Master Xuan Yang showing up at this time?"
"What's the matter?" Gao Zhengyang's voice suddenly rang in Zhen Ming's ear, startling him. Zhen Ming turned his head to look, only to discover that Gao Zhengyang was already standing beside him.
Gao Zhengyang's blue robe fluttered in the wind, and he held a horsetail whisk with a leisurely expression. Compared to Xuan Guo and Xuan Ye, who looked solemn, he was far better in terms of bearing.
Zhen Ming did not know if Gao Zhengyang was faking it or if he really had some ability. However, being able to act cool under such pressure was also a skill.
Zhen Ming also wanted to look calm, but his muscles were tense, and his divine sense was so heavy that it was difficult to operate. He could not remain calm no matter what.
Gao Zhengyang said to Xuan Guo, "Let them retreat. There's no point in going up to die."
Zhen Ming was unconvinced and was about to speak when he heard a low and extremely grand roar from afar. Under the impact of that sound wave, Zhen Ming only felt his soul explode, and he lost all consciousness in an instant.
Soaking in the cold seawater, Zhen Ming suddenly woke up. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into the sea and that there were other direct disciples around him.
Zhen Ming wanted to fly his sword, but he had a splitting headache. His divine sense was in a mess, and he could not fly his sword no matter what. The cold seawater kept pouring into his mouth and nose. If this continued, he would drown here. Zhen Ming was horrified and struggled to ask for help.
Gao Zhengyang waved his horsetail whisk, and tens of flames landed, sweeping up everyone who was floating in the seawater and placing them on the deck.
Xuan Guo couldn't help but look at Gao Zhengyang. Saving people was easy, but to use a blazing fire attribute technique to save people without getting hurt at all, that showed one's ability.
Zhen Xiu, who was standing beside Xuan Guo, also had a face full of admiration. Just now, her divine sense was almost broken by the roar. Luckily, her foundation was deep, and she could barely stand.
However, she could see clearly that her master and Gao Zhengyang did not move at all. Even Xuan Ye's body swayed a little.
Xuan Ye didn't care about these details. His old face was filled with worry, "We have to discuss a plan. We definitely can't fight head-on like this!"
"There's no need for trouble."
Gao Zhengyang waved his horsetail whisk, "I will go and kill this monster. Two senior brothers, you just need to protect these disciples."
Xuan Ye was stunned, and Xuan Guo's face was filled with doubt, not knowing what Gao Zhengyang was doing.
Xuan Ye couldn't help but ask, "Is junior brother serious?"
"Two senior brothers, please take a look at my methods."
Gao Zhengyang rode the wind and chanted loudly, "There is a demon whale that swallows the sea, its roar frightens even the gods. I have the Demon Subduing Edge, my sword goes to the sea and the sky is clear! "
