The huge ship was getting closer and closer.
Of course, after approaching a certain distance, they immediately stopped. If they were too close to each other, it would be easy for them to collide. At that time, they would want to cry but have no tears.
When the distance between the two sides reached a certain extent, three figures suddenly jumped up from the big ship opposite them.
One of the silhouettes seemed to be very light. He had a head full of silver hair, and his sleeves fluttered as he flew over in the air. He was like an immortal. He actually crossed the distance of several zhang with a single leap and landed on the armor of the ship with ease.
The other two were burly men with full whiskers. Although their movement techniques were not bad, they were not as exaggerated as the first person. When their bodies were halfway through the jump, it was obvious that their strength was not enough.
However, at this moment, Xu Hengbiao seemed to be prepared. The two ship ropes in his hands flew out like javelins and landed in the hands of the two men. Then, with a light pull, the two men were pulled up.
After the two of them boarded the ship, they smiled gratefully at Xu Hengbiao. Then, they greeted Huo Hongsheng and said, "Master, we came late to the rescue. Please punish us."
Huo Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "Get up. I can't blame you. No one would have thought that we would encounter such a strong storm on the sea. It's our bad luck."
Xu Hengbiao interrupted and said, "Big brother, as long as you're alive, it's enough."
Huo Hongsheng sighed and said, "It's a pity for the brothers on that ship."
Everyone fell silent. Those who were able to travel the sea together were all good brothers who had known each other for many years. Losing a ship in an instant, anyone would feel sad in their heart. Even the carefree Xu Hengbiao was the same.
After a while, Huo Hongsheng shook his head and forced a smile, "Uncle Zhang, I was a little sad just now. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
The white-haired old man who was the first to arrive on the ship smiled and said, "Nephew is a sentimental person. How could I blame you?" He paused for a moment, then said with relief, "This time, when I saw your ship get caught in the storm, I was so scared that my face turned pale. Fortunately, you were lucky enough to survive the storm, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain it to your father."
Although this old man's words had the taste of taking advantage of his seniority, the several big shots on the ship listened respectfully. No one dared to show the slightest impatience.
Huo Hongsheng sighed softly and said, "This nephew was able to escape safely this time because I was saved by a benefactor. If it weren't for Mister He, I'm afraid this nephew would have been buried in the belly of the fishes."
Old man Zhang's eyes flashed, revealing a faint look of horror. He said in a deep voice, "Nephew, you said you were rescued from the storm?"
When he thought of the monstrous waves that day, he couldn't help but feel a faint chill in his heart.
Although he was a top-notch Innate Ranker in the eyes of ordinary people. However, he knew that with his martial arts cultivation, if he was really caught in the storm that day, not to mention saving people, he might not even be able to protect himself.
If Huo Hongsheng was really rescued from the storm, this person's martial arts cultivation was unfathomable. Perhaps in the entire sect, only the Great Ancestor could be compared to him.
Huo Hongsheng's face turned slightly red as he said, "I'm ashamed. This nephew had already fainted at that time. I only know that I was tied to the main trunk and drifted with the waves. As for how I was rescued, I really don't know, and I'm too embarrassed to ask."
Old man Zhang came to a realization. He thought to himself, 'Most likely, after the storm calmed down, Huo Hongsheng, who was tied to the main trunk, was lucky enough to not die, so he was rescued.'
Nodding slightly, Old man Zhang's expression returned to normal. He asked, "Where is that person now?"
Huo Hongsheng replied respectfully, "This nephew has invited Mister He onto the ship, and he agreed to visit Penglai Immortal Island as a guest." At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Zhang, Mister He was able to ignite the flames with his bare hands and ignite the cannons. He should be a Xiantian expert."
Old man Zhang's expression suddenly changed, and there was no longer that arrogant look on his face.
Although a Xiantian expert was far from being on par with the one he initially thought of, he himself was only a Xiantian expert. Naturally, he was not qualified to look down on an expert of the same level.
"Nephew, please introduce me to that … Mister He." Old man Zhang instructed slowly.
Huo Hongsheng opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not dare to disobey. He braced himself and agreed.

In the cabin, He Yiming frowned slightly. He did not want to have too many disputes with these people. However, He Yiming did not want to arouse the other party's unnecessary suspicion, so when Huo Hongsheng cautiously came to knock on the door, He Yiming still agreed with a pleasant expression.
In the outer hall of the cabin, someone had already cleaned it up. Although Huo Hongsheng didn't know He Yiming for a long time, he knew that He Yiming didn't like crowds, so he only accompanied Old Zhang into the outer hall. As for the others, they didn't have this qualification at all.
Old man Zhang was a Xiantian expert with white hair and a white beard. There was a harmonious smile on his somewhat aged face, but after seeing how young He Yiming's face was, he became even more polite.
After all, for Xiantian experts like them, age and seniority were all empty words. After transcending the secular world, everything was determined by strength.
He Yiming was so young. Even if his current strength was only on par with Old man Zhang's, his future development was far from what Old man Zhang could compare to.
"Mister He, this is my uncle Zhang and Senior Zhang. I heard that you saved my life, so I came to thank you personally," Huo Hongsheng said with even more respect.
If there was anything more unsettling than standing in front of a Xiantian expert, it was standing in front of two Xiantian experts.
Huo Hongsheng knew that in front of these two, he was only qualified to introduce them.
"Uncle Zhang, this is Mister He who saved me. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to see you again this time. "
Zhang Heti laughed and cupped his fists. "Brother He, Hongsheng is my junior. This time, he was involved in the storm and had a narrow escape. Fortunately, Brother He saved his life in the storm. I want to thank you."
After saying that, he bowed deeply.
He Yiming frowned slightly. At this moment, he was quite experienced and understood the meaning of Zhang Heti's words. However, he pretended not to know and just reached out to support him. "Brother Zhang, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. You don't have to do this."
Zhang Heti's eyes lit up slightly. He slowly circulated the Genuine Qi in his body and suppressed it.
However, he soon found that the other party's Genuine Qi was broad and profound. No matter how much Genuine Qi he injected, it was like a stone in the sea. He couldn't measure the other party's limit at all. Of course, He Yiming didn't fight back, so he couldn't know the depth of He Yiming's strength.
After injecting 70% of his Genuine Qi, Zhang Heti resentfully withdrew it. If the stalemate continued, it would be too impolite.
He was vexed. He couldn't find out the other party's identity with his vital energy, and his verbal probing was easily brushed off by the other party. Only God knew if the other party had really entered the storm to save people, or if he was just sitting on the shore of the island to pick up a person.
The gap between the two was too big.
"Brother He, Brother I and you hit it off at first sight. I would like to take the liberty of inviting you to a drink. Please don't refuse," Zhang Heti said sincerely.
Although he couldn't test the other party's strength, it proved that the other party's martial arts cultivation was definitely not below his. As long as he knew this, it was enough.
Such a young Xiantian expert naturally had to be on good terms with him. Zhang Heti was no exception.
He Yiming was about to decline, but he was moved by the other party's next words.
"I have lived on Penglai Island for nearly a hundred years. I know a lot about the island's scenery. Brother He, if you want to train, I have a few good places to recommend you. I guarantee that your trip won't be in vain."
After hearing this, He Yiming was overjoyed and immediately looked at this person in a new light.
Huo Hongsheng obediently ordered the servants to prepare a banquet at the fastest speed and move it into the outer hall.
The two Xiantian experts naturally sat opposite each other. He accompanied them at the end and poured wine for them.
He Yiming went straight to the point and said, "Brother Zhang, I have heard of Penglai Island before going out to sea. Do you have a map of the island that I can take a look at?"
Zhang Heti was stunned. Although he didn't know why He Yiming would make such a strange request, he didn't hesitate to smile and nod. Soon, the map of Penglai Island was presented in front of He Yiming.
Naturally, it was impossible for most people to have a map of the island. However, with Zhang Heti's status, as long as he said the word, there would naturally be people who couldn't wait to send it to him.
Different from the map that Baozhu took from the Dragon Snake Nest, the map that Zhang Heti brought was a flat map. For He Yiming, he could only rely on his memory to roughly match a few places.
He shook his head and sighed in his heart. It seemed that his talent in this area wasn't very strong.
Zhang Heti pointed at the map of the island and introduced it without stopping.
He Yiming memorized all of Zhang Heti's introductions in his heart, especially one of the key points, which made him secretly happy.
The entrance to the treasure map was extremely famous because powerful sharks appeared on the beach. It was said that many of them were Innate Spirit Beasts. Even the Three Great Sects on the island did not have many ways to deal with those fellows, which were overlords in the water.
It was evident that this was a forbidden area on the island, and nobody dared to approach it.
He Yiming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Huo, didn't you say that there are several Venerable Ones on the island? Why are they still allowing those sharks to occupy the island?"
Zhang Heti smiled bitterly and answered, "Venerable Ones cultivate martial arts diligently, so they don't have the time to care about some sharks."
He Yiming was naturally not satisfied with the answer, but he did not say much.
Seeing as He Yiming did not ask any more questions, Zhang Heti sighed a breath of relief.
Today's conversation gave He Yiming a deeper understanding of the Penglai Immortal Island. He even accidentally found the location of the entrance. Naturally, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Heti and the others, on the other hand, had a closer relationship with He Yiming. Naturally, their faces were flushed with satisfaction. (To be continued.
