The waterway from Jianghu Town to the Immortal Realm had always been turbulent. However, compared with the volatile weather, the whirlpool of Jianghu could sweep people into the unpredictable abyss if they were not careful. What awaited them would be more painful than death. This was the truth that Wang Xiaotian, the boatman, realized on the day he retired from Jianghu.
"Those who are not of my clan must have a different heart …"
The ship rocked on the sea. Wang Xiaotian was still holding a pipe in one hand and the rudder in the other. His old eyes seemed to be remembering and thinking about something. Although he had retired from Jianghu, Jianghu had always been not far away. As long as there was any movement, he could always receive news quickly, such as the execution of Yan Li by the Five Elements Court.
A man stood beside him. He was Wang Xiaotian's deputy. He had followed him for more than ten years and was very clear about his thoughts. He said, "This may be fate."
Wang Xiaotian took a puff of the pipe but did not spit it out. He said slowly, "Jianghu is still Jianghu. Now he has more or less understood it, but he has no chance to repent. It's a pity."
"Pity?" the deputy said.
Wang Xiaotian looked into the distance and did not answer. Instead, he murmured, "A bigger storm is brewing. The pattern of Jianghu may change because of this. I'm afraid …"
The deputy listened carefully but did not answer. He did not dare to ask. The first half was chilling enough. He thought that he had followed the boss for more than ten years, but he still could not figure out his details. He did not know his strength until now. Thinking about it carefully, he was really terrifying.
Suddenly, the hull shook, and an indescribable aura spread in all directions in the cabin below. The boatman's eyes flashed and he shouted, "Who dares to make trouble on my ship!"
As soon as the voice fell, the deck was opened with a bang. A black shadow rushed into the sky, panicking like a stray dog. "I didn't betray you. Please let me go!" Around this stray dog, there was clearly a perfect Law Domain. The eyes of the Jianghu people on the ship were sharp. They could see at a glance that this was a strong man at the peak of the Insight Realm. However, it was precisely such an expert that was begging for mercy from an unknown person. This was even more frightening. The people on the deck fled in all directions and hid in the distance. They only felt that a terrible monster would burst out of the dark hole at any time.
The hole in the deck didn't release a monster, but three human figures. Before the crowd could clearly see what was going on, they heard the clanking of the chains. Three figures each took out a snake-like chain from their hands. All of them flickered with an icy blue light and looked extraordinary.
The captain focused his eyes to distinguish, and his pupils suddenly shrank. "Blue Stamped Profound Lock, Jianghu Inn Disciplinary Court!"
The assistant said in a trembling voice, "The Blue Seal Profound Lock is the most tyrannical and unreasonable method to lock a person's soul. However, the Law Enforcement Department rarely uses it. Who is this person? "
Boatswain's eye
His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "If this old man is not mistaken, this person is the Great Sovereign Yama Hou Yuchang who entered this inn more than ten years ago in order to avoid his enemies!"
Upon hearing this name, the deputy, who had just recovered from his shock, was overwhelmed with shock. "Is it the Great King Yama who created the Yama Staff and was ordered to kill by the Dragon Monarch for killing two Divine Arresters?"
The boatswain nodded and sighed. "It seems that the assassination of the merchant group was done by him. I don't know who ordered him to do it. This is to shake the foundation of the Jianghu Inn. No wonder the Law Enforcement Hall was mobilized!"
While they were talking, Hou Yuchang tried his best to resist, but he was still no match for the three Blue Stamped Profound Lock and was firmly locked. Then, another ship came side by side. Two of the three escorted Hou Yuchang to board, and the remaining one cupped his hands to the boatswain and said, "We are here to arrest a traitor. We don't mean to disturb you. If any goods are damaged, the Jianghu Inn will compensate according to the price."
"You are welcome." The boatswain cupped his hands to return the gesture.
The man nodded and took his leave.
The ship sailed into the deep fog, and the two ships parted ways.
Hou Yuchang looked dispirited. He was firmly bound by the Blue Stamped Profound Lock and detained on the deck. A middle-aged man walked out of the cabin. He was dressed like a scholar, had a medium build, was thin, and looked indifferent. He said slowly, "If you have been undercover here for more than ten years, there is no reason to waste your talent. So I guess that you have recently contacted the Dragon Monarch's people, and that's why you have today's story."
He was naturally the ghost shopkeeper of the Jianghu Inn.
"Winner takes all!" Hou Yuchang clenched his teeth.
"Why?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Why?" Hou Yuchang suppressed his fear of death and recalled in his mind. He said dejectedly, "Since I learned your secret, I feel that what you want to do is like hitting a rock with an egg. I will never bet my life on your fantasy!"
"So you sold your life to the Dragon Monarch." The shopkeeper said.
Hou Yuchang didn't answer. He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled mysteriously, "I have a secret that you will definitely be interested in. I think it is enough to exchange for my freedom and life. Shopkeeper, are you willing to make a deal with me?"
"Oh?" The shopkeeper's expression was still indifferent.
"It is about Ji Wuji …" Hou Yuchang lowered his voice, "This secret is definitely more valuable than my life …"
"No need," the shopkeeper said.
"No need?" Hou Yuchang was stunned.
"Kill him." After the shopkeeper gave the order, he turned around and returned to the cabin.
Before Hou Yuchang could react, the cultivator who detained him immediately raised his hand and slapped his head fiercely. This was the usual style of the Jianghu Inn. Killing, just killing.
Just killing. A light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It is not that I did not gain anything in the past ten years. I have already seen through the weakness of the Blue Seal Mysterious Lock. You can't trap me! Moreover … "
At this point, he gradually laughed, and the fatal palm could no longer be pressed down.
The two cultivators who detained Hou Yuchang were the closest, so they felt it the most. From the sound of the laughter, there was clearly a huge aura. It was the aura of the Law Domain that far surpassed the Insight Stage.
Hou Yuchang's laughter became more and more arrogant. As he shuttled through the rising and falling waves, his aura actually suppressed the great power of heaven and earth.
"You didn't expect that I have already broken through to become a True Earth Immortal! If you want to kill me, I will kill all of you first! "
With a bang, the Blue Seal Mysterious Lock broke into pieces. The two cultivators who detained him had a change of expression. Then, their bodies suddenly shattered, turning into a mist of blood that drifted away.
One of the shopkeeper's feet landed on the stairs of the lower cabin. He was still indifferent to this change. He only paused slightly and said indifferently, "Kill him."
The air moved faintly.
Hou Yuchang stared at the shopkeeper's back and laughed wildly, "Hidden Spirit Sovereign Zhou Siqu, you would never have thought that I already knew your identity. I also knew that your cultivation would be greatly reduced on the sea. This will be your burial place. Die for me!" The vital energy that had been stored for many years was released in one go, and the whole ship seemed to have fallen into the end of the world.
Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of a sword whistling through the sky. It was almost like an illusion because it had gone far away in an instant. It might have sounded somewhere else, but it had nothing to do with this place.
All the strange phenomena of the Law Domain disappeared in an instant. Hou Yuchang stood there with a lifeless face. A line of blood gradually appeared between his eyebrows. His whole body trembled, and his eyeballs rolled wildly. "What, what is this …"
"The unparalleled fast sword in the world, the unparalleled fast sword."
For some reason, the shopkeeper's voice sounded behind Hou Yuchang. He didn't turn his head because he knew that the person who attacked just now was not Zhou Siqu, but a slender woman wearing a mask.
The mask was pure white, and there were only three black lines drawn where the eyes and the mouth should be. The mouth was clearly curled up on both sides, and it looked like she was smiling brightly. However, one couldn't feel the slightest joy from her body.
Hou Yuchang collapsed, but the atmosphere became even more tense.
The members of the Law Enforcement Hall surrounded the masked woman, with the shopkeeper as their leader.
"What do you mean?" The woman stood with her hand on her sword. Her voice was cold, like a piece of ice that wouldn't melt in ten thousand years.
"It seems that you have perfectly inherited the unparalleled fast sword in the world. Yan Li has treated you well, "Zhou Siqu said indifferently.
