Qin Di flew out of the forest and landed on the ground with the four-inch Pentacolor Divine Vermilion Bird perched on his shoulder.
Three days later, he arrived at the seaside and saw three or four large ships docked at the pier. A few young men were trying to recruit passengers.
"Sir, this ship is heading to Rabbit Dock of the Twelve Dock Chains. It only costs one spirit stone per trip. Would you like to board?"
"Sir, are you going to Dragon Dock? One spirit stone per ship, it's about to depart. "
"Sir, this ship is heading to Dog Dock … Do you …"
When Qin Di heard this, he laughed and said, "Alright, I'll just pick a nicer name and go to Dragon Dock."
He boarded the ship and walked to the bustling railing. He found a corner where there were fewer people and stood there quietly, staring at the sea.
The water of the North Sea was dark and dark. At first glance, it seemed black.
He could hear the conversations of the people around him.
"Hey, did you hear? Dragon Dock Lord Long Canghai failed his Nascent Soul Mid-Stage tribulation, so the Long Family is done for! "
"Is that so? The Long Family is ranked first among the Twelve Dock Chains, so they have deep roots. How did it end in one night? "
"Hey, you don't understand. Everyone in the Profound Water Sect is a water cultivator, but Long Canghai is a wood cultivator. Although water and wood come from the same source, the elders of the Long Family have been at odds with the sect leader for a long time. The sect leader didn't make trouble for them because the Long Family had made great contributions to the Profound Water Sect. Now that Long Canghai failed his tribulation, all of the discord suddenly erupted. "
"How did the sect leader deal with them?"
"I'll tell you in a low voice. The sect leader originally planned to kick the Long Family out, but for some reason, he suddenly lost his temper and killed all one thousand and three hundred members of the Long Family, leaving behind only a teenage girl and the crippled Long Canghai."
"Huh? Really? Is the sect leader really that murderous? "
"Silence! Don't talk nonsense! The sect leader is wise and mighty, how could he be wrong? The Long Family is definitely in the wrong! "
"Yes, yes, you're right, Brother. But why did the sect leader leave two people alive? Why didn't he eradicate them? "
"Hehe, you don't know? I will reveal the mystery to you. Long Canghai had failed to transcend the tribulation. His nascent soul had dissipated, his golden core had been shattered, and his meridians had been severed. He had become a cripple. The sectmaster had wanted him to see what would happen next, which was why he hadn't been killed. As for that little girl, she's too beautiful. It's said that she caught the eye of a Jindan Perfected Master, Xuan Yinping, and was forced to be betrothed to her. He was prepared to wait until she turned fifteen before entering the Xuan Clan as a concubine. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday … cough cough … Xuan Yinping died … That girl was already a daughter-in-law of the Xuan Clan in name. Killing a daughter-in-law is inauspicious, so the Clan Master let her go. However, he also ordered people to seal all the power in her body, making her even weaker than a normal person … "
"What about these two people?"
"They were still at the Dragon Dock yesterday. It seems like they want to leave, but no ship dares to take them."
"Sigh, the Long Family is really sinful. So many people died in one go, and almost all of them died …"
The ship sailed forward, braving the wind and the waves. The people who were talking earlier were attracted by the waves on the sea, so they gradually stopped talking and moved closer to the side of the ship to look at the rolling waves.
After traveling for about an hour, the ship slowly approached the shore.
Qin Di got off the ship and saw a group of people gathered at the dock not far from the ship.
When he got closer, he saw a girl with a graceful figure in the middle of the crowd. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was very beautiful. She looked as brilliant as the spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon. However, there were tears on her face, making her look delicate and pitiful.
There was a shabby door on the ground, and an old man in his seventies was lying on it. His hair was gray, and his face was green. There was not a trace of life in his eyes, and he looked extremely lonely.
The girl kept begging a middle-aged man, "Uncle Ah Sheng, please let us leave by ship. I beg you."
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. "Miss Ah Jin, it's not that I don't want to help, but I don't dare to help you. If I let you board the ship, my whole family will be the same as your Long Family. "
The girl knew that he was telling the truth, but she was still unwilling. "Uncle Ah Sheng, you were supported by our Long Family. Can you help us think of a way? Can you get a small boat and let me row out by myself?"
The middle-aged man looked ashamed, but seeing that there were so many people around him, he could only put on a straight face and beckoned to the people behind him. "Someone, drive away these people gathered at the dock!"
Not long after, a group of helpers on the ship appeared. They cursed and chased the people away. Some people saw that the girl was weak and wanted to touch her to take advantage of her.
"Miss Jin, your Long Family has already fallen. Don't make things difficult for our ship owner."
"Girl, why don't you follow me? Although I don't have much money, it's not a problem to give you some food. As for your old man, just throw him into the sea!"
"Little girl, I'll help you carry the old man to the side. You're hindering our business by standing here."
"Hehe, this girl is so beautiful. Bringing her home will be a great treat …"
"If you're not afraid of death, bring her home. She's the Sect Master's daughter-in-law."
"What daughter-in-law? She was forced … What a miserable life."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked the old man to fail the tribulation and offend the Sect Master?"
Seeing that her pleading for three days had no effect, the girl could only grit her teeth and drag the old man away with all her might.
There were many people behind watching the show and mocking them from time to time.
Qin Di also watched from behind. He saw that the girl had already cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refinement at such a young age. Although her cultivation had been sealed, her Wood Spiritual Qi was still flowing out of her body. He felt that she was a good seedling and wanted to help her.
Moreover, although the old man lying on the door had his Nascent Soul dissipated and his Golden Core shattered, it was not impossible to save him. Qin Di was a Pill Refining Grand Master, and at the same time a Talisman Grand Master. If he wanted to save him, he just had to spend a bit more effort, and it was still possible for him to recover.
What's more, the sudden death of so many people in the Long Family was related to Xuan Yinping's death. Therefore, he, Qin Di, was also involved in the cause and effect.
The girl's delicate body dragged the door. The tears on her face had disappeared and her eyes were filled with determination.
She dragged the door to a dilapidated Taoist temple and bent down to pick up the old man.
The onlookers stopped when they reached the entrance of the Taoist temple. They stood outside and discussed with each other.
"Don't go in. This is the Long Family's old Taoist temple. It's said that there's a spirit protecting it."
"Yeah, I heard that the little dog went in the day before yesterday and died of a high fever that night."
