"There seems to be another ship coming in front!"
Ao Jiao said.
Xiao Chen did not look at it, only answering casually. Over the past few days, many large ships passed by him. However, after a few glances, they all passed by, ignoring him.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush. Since there were ships passing by, he just needed to drift slowly in the direction of these ships. He would eventually find a place with people.
"This ship seems to be heading for you. I'll enter the Immortal Spirit Ring first." Ao Jiao's figure flashed, turning into a beam of light and entering the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen sighed softly and looked up. This ship was completely purple, made of Purple Cloud Rock. It was huge but strangely streamlined.
It was a peak Sage Ranked ship, considered a pretty good ship. However, it could not compare to the seven-colored warship of the Seven Heroes Of The Dragon that Xiao Chen possessed.
Compared to the Dragon's Gate's warship, the difference was like mud to clouds.
A flag with an ancient "Mo" embroidered on it was stuck in the bow.
"Mo? This surname is rather rare, "Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
As the purple warship approached, Xiao Chen heard some voices coming from the deck.
"Young Miss, it is just an unremarkable Martial Monarch. Furthermore, he is significantly injured. He probably overestimated himself and failed his adventure in the forbidden sea."
"Ask him where he is going. If it is on the way, give him a ride."
"Young Miss, there is no need to bother with this stranger. Furthermore, this trip is very important. We cannot afford any accidents."
"It's fine. Uncle Wang, you can ask him. A Martial Monarch is not a threat to us."
The voices belonged to an old man and a young girl. The girl's voice was very melodious. When one heard it, it sounded like a mountain spring, very pleasing to the ear. She had to be a great beauty just from her voice.
After the conversation ended, an old man who looked like a housekeeper asked rudely, "Little Friend, are you going to Starry Cloud Island? If it is on the way, we can give you a ride."
Xiao Chen could not be bothered with this old man, so he ignored him. The other party's words were very rude. Even if he went up, he would have to listen to this person's expression. He might as well drift for a while longer.
Seeing that Xiao Chen ignored him, rage flashed on the old man's face. He cursed Xiao Chen for not appreciating favors and withdrew.
He whispered a few words to the young lady.
Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared at the bow of the ship and looked at Xiao Chen with surprise.
Xiao Chen caught a glimpse of her. She was wearing a veil, so he couldn't see her face clearly. However, his gaze stopped on her chest and didn't move away.
The woman's eyes turned cold and she quickly retreated. The ship quickly turned around and ignored Xiao Chen.
"Hehe, idiot master, when did you start to like this? You scared the girl away, didn't you?" Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, giggled. However, her figure is pretty good. It is just a little bit inferior to mine.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. It seemed that it was really a misunderstanding, but he couldn't miss this ship no matter what.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground with his feet and spread his arms. Then, he soared like a flood dragon and landed on the deck of the ship.
"How dare you barge into the ship! Kill him!"
The old man who looked like the steward snorted coldly. Two Inferior Grade Martial Sages immediately leaped off the ship and blocked Xiao Chen in midair. They revealed their killing Qi and each executed a move at Xiao Chen.
Their attacks were cold and emotionless, surging with killing intent. One used a saber, and the other used a sword. The arm-thick Heavenly Sage Laws behind them moved like waves, wildly absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the air.
If Xiao Chen were an ordinary Martial Monarch, he would die instantly under the lightning-quick attacks of these two.
However, naturally, Xiao Chen would not do that. His combat experience and vision were very rich. Even if he was only a Martial Monarch and did not use his physical body, he would not be able to defeat him.
Even if he was only a Martial Monarch and did not use his physical body, he could still quickly find openings and easily pass through them.
Before the startled gazes of everyone on the deck, Xiao Chen seemed to have predicted the trajectory of the two's attacks. He waved his hands and moved like a dragon, landing directly on the deck.
The feeling he gave was like the two Inferior Grade Martial Sages were like air, allowing Xiao Chen to pass through them.
"Plop!"
The moment he landed on the deck, before he could stand firmly, he felt dizzy. Pain came from the damaged meridians in his body.
Xiao Chen's expression changed, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Damn it! I forgot that I am still in a weakened state and should not be able to use force. At the very least, I have to wait for my meridians to recover before I can circulate my Quintessence.
The two movements just now seemed simple and unremarkable.
But in the space of an inch, a powerful explosive force, accurate to the millimeter of positioning.
In those few movements, not only did Xiao Chen need to be highly focused, but his Quintessence also needed to burst forth rapidly, exhausting a vast amount of Mental Energy and Quintessence.
In an instant, Xiao Chen's old injuries were aggravated. He was already very weak in the first place, and his body needed to rest and recuperate.
Originally, Uncle Wang was still immersed in the miraculous scene that Xiao Chen performed earlier. When he saw Xiao Chen fall flat on his face, he could not help but laugh loudly. "I was wondering where an absolute genius came from. It turns out that he was just a blind cat running into a dead mouse. Capture him!"
Even Uncle Wang, a Superior Grade Martial Sage, could not understand what Xiao Chen had demonstrated earlier, the Mountain Rampart Technique.
At first, Uncle Wang thought that it was Xiao Chen, who had a startling Movement Technique. However, Xiao Chen's subsequent performance caught him off guard. He thought to himself that he had nearly been fooled.
"Ka ca!
Ka ca! "The moment Xiao Chen flipped over, a weapon flickering with cold light pressed against his neck. The cultivators on the ship surrounded him tightly.
The weapons pressed against his flesh and scratched his skin. As long as Xiao Chen made any strange movements, he would be decapitated and die without a complete corpse.
When Xiao Chen saw such a lineup, he could not help but smile bitterly to himself. It had been so many years.
Ever since Xiao Chen made his debut, he had never been in such a situation, with so many people pressing their weapons against his neck.
Furthermore, these were a group of Martial Monarchs that he did not care about at all. However, his current situation was extremely dangerous.
With ten-odd weapons pressed against his neck, if the other party really wanted to kill him, even if Ao Jiao possessed his body, it would be too late.
However, given Xiao Chen's physical body, if these people did not use their full power, they might not be able to kill him in one strike. However, injuries on top of injuries were unavoidable.
"Speak honestly. Are you a member of the Liu Clan? What is your purpose in waiting here?"
Uncle Wang did not like Xiao Chen in the first place. When he saw that Xiao Chen was restrained, he immediately berated him.
Xiao Chen looked around and casually sized up the cultivators on the ship. Aside from the four Martial Sages, the rest were all Martial Monarchs. He immediately guessed that this was a Rank 6 clan.
In the Kunlun Continent, this clan would only be a third-rate faction, not worth mentioning. In the Heavenly Starry Ocean, it would probably be an unknown small clan.
Hearing the old man's question, Xiao Chen replied calmly, "What purpose does Old Sir think a Martial Monarch like me can have by waiting here? I just want to ask for a free ride. Just give me a ride."
"However, this old man asked you earlier: are you deaf?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I used my actions to answer Old Sir. However, Old Sir welcomed me with a sword and saber. I wonder what your intentions are?"
Xiao Chen's words were flawless, without any flaws. However, Uncle Wang felt that Xiao Chen had another purpose. Seeing that Xiao Chen was indeed just a Martial Monarch, Uncle Wang waved his hand and said, "Toss him off the ship. There is no need to care about him."
The group immediately put away their weapons and picked up Xiao Chen. Then, they prepared to toss him into the sea without any hesitation.
"Wait a moment. Since it is on the way, give him a ride. Let him leave when we reach Starry Cloud Island."
That melodious voice came from the ship's hold again. The cultivators immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang thought for a while. He knew that his Young Miss had always been kind-hearted. He sighed to himself and waved his hand. "Clean up a room in the warehouse for him to stay in. I'm warning you, you'd best stay in the room and not barge around. Otherwise, it will not be as simple as tossing you into the sea. "
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute in thanks. Right now, he indeed needed a quiet environment to recuperate.
"Go in, then. This is your room. If there is nothing important, don't come out." The two Mo Clan cultivators led Xiao Chen into the room. After giving him a warning, they quickly left.
Naturally, the room that was cleaned up in the warehouse was not much better. Aside from a simple bed, it was littered with junk that had not been moved out in time.
A light flashed on Xiao Chen's forehead as he circulated the will of ice in his sea of consciousness. A cold wind blew, clearing the room once more. Then, he stopped using the will of ice.
Right now, the immortal will of thunder was indistinct and difficult to use. The only thing that Xiao Chen could use freely was the will of ice that he had looked down on previously.
How is it? Are you alright?!
Ao Jiao appeared in the Immortal Spirit Ring. She asked out of concern as she held Xiao Chen's wrist with one hand.
The scene just now had frightened her badly.
Xiao Chen smiled and let Ao Jiao check his injuries.
Fortunately, I did not act rashly. Otherwise, if I really made a move, the injuries to my meridians would have been problematic.
Ao Jiao withdrew her hand and heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was fine, Ao Jiao returned to her normal self and joked, "Oh, right. Why did you insist on boarding this warship? Did you really …"
How could that be? There should be a pendant under her clothes. I feel that it was refined from one of the seven thrones.
Ao Jiao exclaimed in shock, "That can't be. What a coincidence."
Xiao Chen said seriously, "Most likely. The three thrones in the Cycle Banner all had an intense reaction. As long as I take another look, I will be one hundred percent sure."
The seven thrones were Massacre, Ruin, Ruin, Pain, Grief, Despair, and Death. Now, Xiao Chen had collected three: Massacre, Death, and Ruin.
He already knew the location of the Despair Throne. It was in a forbidden land of the Southern Sea.
If the pendant on this girl's chest was really refined from one of the thrones, then it should be one of the Grief, Pain, and Ruin Thrones.
Ao Jiao smiled and said, "That is really a change in luck. The misfortune brought by Neptune's crown is completely gone. There is no need to worry anymore."
Xiao Chen nodded and thought for a while. Then, he said, "I'll treat my injuries first. Go out and scout out where exactly this place is in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Don't expose yourself."
Ao Jiao smiled faintly. Then, her figure flashed, turning into a bolt of lightning as she left through the crack in the door.
--- At the same time, in the most important control room of the warship, the veiled Miss Mo and Uncle Wang were discussing the new passenger.
"Uncle Wang, with your eyesight, was that person's dodging two killing moves a coincidence or was it really that miraculous?"
Uncle Wang smiled and said, "It was definitely just a coincidence. That kind of dodging in such a small space, the precise positioning, the skill and eyesight involved are things that even I can't do. How could an insignificant Martial Monarch do it?"
