White River City.
There was a body of water outside the northern pier of the city. All the ships that could not be used were piled up there, from large cruise ships to fishing boats to rotten wooden rafts.
Thousands of abandoned ships formed a ruined shipwreck area. Because of the accumulation of years, this place was rarely visited by people, but it had become a paradise for all kinds of fish. Occasionally, there would be old people from White River City who would come here to fish, often returning with a bountiful harvest. Young people, however, did not like the shipwreck area. The rusty and decaying shipwrecks always exuded a strange unpleasant smell.
Perhaps the old people would not care about this, but young people could not stand this lethargic and decaying place.
Today, a pair of young women unexpectedly came to the shipwreck area.
One wore clothes whiter than snow.
The other wore clothes as black as ink.
Their appearance broke through the lethargic water surface, bringing a rare breath of fresh air to the shipwreck area filled with the smell of decay!
"Aiyo, I really couldn't tell that the grave you chose is not bad. Directly buried at sea, simple and convenient, really good!" The woman in black was naturally the Water Spider, recognized by the younger generation of White River City as the most vicious and poisonous. And the one in white was her hunting target, Liu Ye. For a harmless human girl like Liu Ye, the Water Spider originally had no reason to kill her. No matter how one looked at it, killing this Liu Ye was not an action that benefited oneself. But the Water Spider did not need a reason to kill Liu Ye, did it?
If she wanted to kill, she did not need any reason at all.
If there was, then the only reason might be that the Water Spider could not bear to see anyone prettier than her.
"I'm sure for the last time. If I can avoid fighting, I am not willing to fight to the death. No matter who wins or loses, it is destined that one person will fall here." Liu Ye's small face still maintained a calm expression. She calmly gazed at the powerful Water Spider. When facing the enemy, her eyes were brave and fearless, a change from her usual self. "However, since you insist on fighting, then I will not retreat. If you want to fight, then I will fight!"
"Your tone is quite big, but you are as weak as a bug. What qualifications do you have to fight me? What a joke! "The Water Spider sneered.
Her figure soared into the sky.
After reaching a height of several hundred meters, she exploded with a fierce aura.
Then, like a meteorite, it smashed everything within a dozen meters of its body into powder.
Liu Ye narrowly avoided it. The shockwave from the falling body of the Water Spider almost destroyed the entire area of the abandoned ship. Monstrous waves roared and splashed, like a storm passing through, engulfing the entire area. The huge sunken ship revealed its decaying hull from the bottom of the water. Countless fragments were chaotically twisted in the air, forming an extremely strange waterspout.
The power of the waterspout was so great that Liu Ye, who had jumped back to avoid the shockwave, could not help but be pulled back.
The Water Spider's body, which had fallen to the surface of the water, suddenly turned around and faced the sky.
Her speed.
It was even faster than lightning.
The two different terrifying forces created two connected but completely different shock waves in the space above the water surface.
Although it didn't shatter the space, it had successfully wrapped the waterspout and the space inside it, whether it was the debris of the sunken ship, the water splashes, or the air, into a huge space. Its shape was just like a bubble in the water. This bubble, which was cut by the waterspout, was completely under the control of the Water Spider's will. This was her unique and unique secret skill, the 'Reverse Bubble'.
In this bubble, once an enemy was captured, even a powerful Heaven Stage would find it hard to break free.
It was very likely that the battle with the Water Spider would end here, and their lives would fall into her hands.
Defeat without a fight.
As soon as Liu Ye entered the Reverse Bubble, she discovered a serious problem.
Not only could she not use her movement technique, even her breathing was gradually being controlled by the opponent. In this way, how could she not be defeated in such a battle?
She had almost no time to think. The Water Spider's second wave of killing moves.
Followed by another.
The Reverse Bubble was already enough to defeat the weak Liu Ye, but the Water Spider felt that if she did this, it would not be strong enough. She was a ruthless and poisonous Water Spider, how could she let the enemy die so easily?
When the Water Spider's figure passed through the bubbles beautifully, Liu Ye discovered that there were more than ten completely transparent spider webs on her body at some point in time.
These spider webs grew with the wind.
They interweaved and transformed, forming an extremely tough net.
Liu Ye's entire body was trapped in the net, and she was pulled onto the wreckage of a steel sunken ship.
If one fell into the Water Spider's first Killing secret skill, the 'Reverse Bubble', there was a chance of escaping. But if one fell into the Water Spider's second Killing secret skill, the 'Dragon Binding Net', then one would definitely die … The Dragon Binding Net, as the name suggested, was a super strong net that even a giant dragon could not break free from. Liu Ye did not know if the Water Spider's net could bind a dragon, but she could sense the terror of this net!
Danger!
"Hahahahaha!" In the eyes of the Water Spider, Liu Ye was now equivalent to a dead person. She was just left with a few more breaths so that she could kill and vent her anger!
At this moment, on the other side of White River City, Old Iron Anchor stood at the door of the Iron Thorns Hut. His expression did not change, but in the depths of his eyes, he could not help but reveal a trace of regret. This was the place where his disciple, Fu Ping, had originally lived. This disciple of his had been smart since young. No matter what she learned, she would learn it easily. She was also very obedient, and teaching her was far more worrisome than teaching others. Every time, Fu Ping had already finished learning the supplementary lessons, but others had just started. If not for the fact that Fu Ping did not have any faction supporting her, with her talent and intelligence, it would not have been impossible for her to become the Lord of White River City as a woman.
It was a pity that such an outstanding person like her had embarked on the path of betrayal.
Originally, the descendants of White River City had never encountered such a complete betrayal. Whether it was in the Tong Tian Tower or the Heaven Realm of today, the Cursed Clan would never allow outsiders to accept them, nor would they ever live together with outsiders.
Thus, no matter how stupid or idiotic a person was, they would not betray their clan and flee.
But it was this incredibly smart Fu Ping who had done something that even a fool would not do …
"Goodbye, my daughter." After Old Anchor said this in his heart, the pain in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by perseverance and decisiveness. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Men, raze the traitor Fu Ping's hut to the ground. Confiscate all her belongings and mark all her personal belongings as a traitor. Send them to the various guilds and schools in the city to be spurned. At the same time, it will serve as a negative example to warn our clansmen. Spread the word in the city. We are nailing this traitor to the pillar of shame in history. Also, write her name into the Cursed Blood Tower in our city, so that she will forever be the target of our curse. Her soul will never rest in peace, never to be reincarnated. I want people to see that this is what happens to traitors! "
"Yes, sir," several guards standing behind Old Anchor responded respectfully.
The guards then began to clean up the mess.
Old Anchor's eyes flashed with a sigh, but it quickly disappeared.
Although he was dressed in the attire of a ship's mate, the aura he exuded was that of a powerful marshal. The martial artists of White River City who knew him bowed to him in unison. As for the merchants and mercenaries who had lived in the city for many years, they stared at him in astonishment. They could no longer recognize that this tall, dignified man with the aura of a lion was the old Anchor who drank himself into a drunken stupor every day at the east gate pier.
Now, who would dare to underestimate him in the slightest?
A breeze seemed to blow across the street.
Old Anchor, who had been striding forward, immediately stopped in his tracks. He looked thoughtfully towards the north of the city, his brows half-furrowed.
A group of guards who had been following him from a distance hurried forward. According to their understanding, the marshal must have stopped because of an order. Old Anchor slowly raised his hand and waved it downwards. "All of you, hurry to the abandoned ship area at the northern pier. If you see the Water Spider, tell her to return to base immediately. Don't waste even a second. If she dares to disobey, capture her on the spot. If she resists, behead her!"
Such a stern tone sent a chill down the captain's spine.
Although the marshal had always been dignified, he had never been like this. Could it be that Water Spider was like Fuping, and had the intention to defect?
The guards received the order and immediately displayed their fastest movement techniques, tacitly setting off towards the abandoned ship area in the north of the city. The fastest of them all was the captain of the guards. Although he was only a small captain, he possessed considerable strength. He was the kind of person who was quiet but capable of frightening others at any moment.
Having given the order, Old Anchor's face darkened as he continued forward.
Suddenly, like an old lion that had discovered its enemy, he charged forward violently and crazily. In an instant, he had crossed two streets and arrived in front of a train platform.
This was the platform where Fuping had first come into contact with that pretty boy when she boarded the train.
If it hadn't been for that pretty boy, Fuping wouldn't have embarked on the path of betrayal. If he could regret and choose again, he would never have let Fuping come into contact with that pretty boy. Who could have imagined that in just a few days, that pretty boy would lead Fuping astray? If it hadn't been for that pretty boy, Fuping definitely wouldn't have betrayed the clan … When Old Anchor rushed to the platform, he wasn't just angry that he had lost a daughter, but also because he had discovered someone who could never appear again. It was that pretty boy who had clearly been killed in the Misty Waves Sea.
How could that pretty boy still be alive?
Old Anchor raised his eyes to look at the light rail leaving the platform. Through an open window, he saw that pretty boy smiling and waving at him.
At that moment, Old Anchor felt the rage of wanting to destroy the entire train.
At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart.
An enemy who couldn't possibly be alive had not only returned to White River City alive, but had done so without anyone knowing. What did this mean? If the kid hadn't released his aura just now and deliberately exposed himself for him to discover, he would still be in the dark.
Such an enemy was too frightening!
Could that pretty boy really be as simple as an ordinary human pretty boy?
In his rage, Old Anchor clearly sensed that there seemed to be a huge net that had been laid out for who knew how long, and it was constantly drawing in, firmly enveloping White River City … Danger. This time, they definitely wouldn't just lose a duckweed. Perhaps all of White River City would face an unprecedented disaster.
The pretty boy, his friends, and the pair of mysterious sisters!
Everything that had puzzled Lin Ming before now became clear. These people probably didn't come for the Electric Flower Ore at all, but rather for White River City. Was Skysplit Tower's martial artists finally going to hunt down the Cursed Clan?
Old Anchor couldn't care less about chasing after the target who was leaving on the train, nor could he immediately head to the Iron Guild to spread the nightmarish news.
He didn't do that.
Instead, he rushed back to his hut at the fastest speed he could muster in his life, opened the mechanism to enter the secret passage, and then rushed back to the headquarters. Compared to the lives of hundreds of thousands of his people, Old Anchor cared more about the underwater headquarters and the elites who were reviving their ancestors. As long as the elites could be saved, there was still hope for the Cursed Clan. On the other hand, even if they escaped with hundreds of thousands of their people, the Tower of Babel's martial artists would come after them again! No matter what, the elites in the headquarters and the ancestors who were being revived with fresh blood could not be lost!
When Old Anchor reached the Great Iron Fortress as fast as he could, he passed through the exit and arrived at the steel door of the hall where the ancestors were being revived.
He was shocked to find that …
The pretty boy who had just left on the train and had been despised by him all this time was standing there with a smile on his face, waiting for him quietly. The pretty boy was even waving at him like a good friend he hadn't seen in years.
What? Old Anchor was shocked. He found that his heart was as firm as a mountain.
He found that his heart, which was as firm as a mountain, was trembling uncontrollably.
