As the legendary place where the founder of Fishing Ocean Tower fished for dragons, the Tianya Stage naturally had a certain sacred significance.
When the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony ended, no one was allowed to approach this place.
In fact, outside of the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony, the Tianya Stage was usually empty, with only strong winds and bright moons.
But this time, because of Wei Xun's casual order, the abandoned disciple of Fishing Ocean Tower, Zhu Biqiong, stayed here with a dying body.
She waited for that person to come back and pick her up, or wait for her death.
This was undoubtedly the most painful wait.
It was precisely because of the experience of waiting for death in that shabby Daoist temple outside Maplewood City that Jiang Wang risked his life in the Bewildering World.
"No one is allowed to enter the Tianya Stage without permission!"
Two tall black-armored soldiers raised their iron arms and stood in front of a fat figure. They were very determined.
Chung Geng Sheng spread his hands to show that he had no intention of using force. He said in a hurried but forceful voice, "It's time to let her go! Jiang Wang killed more than 100 sea clan commanders in the Bewildering World, and he has cleared his name. Zhu Biqiong is now innocent!! "
The two black-armored soldiers looked at each other, obviously unsure if they should just let her go.
At this moment, a voice sounded behind them, "Young Master Chongxuan, do you have any proof that you have cleared your name?"
The person who spoke was a young cultivator in a black brocade robe with golden edges. He looked about 20 years old and had an extraordinary temperament.
The two black-armored soldiers blocking Chung Geng Sheng stepped aside and said respectfully, "Senior Martial Brother Ji."
The newcomer was Ji Shaoqing from Tianjiao of Fishing Ocean Tower. Like Xu Yuan, Bao Song, and Yang Liu, he was a young genius that was often discussed overseas.
Of course, Chen Zhitao was the only one among the young geniuses in Fishing Ocean Tower. He was no longer on the same level as them. Although he was a disciple, his status was higher than many elders a long time ago. After the establishment of the Sea Suppression Alliance, he was like the sun in the sky and was seen as a big shot. He was no longer seen as a young genius.
There was another reason why Ji Shaoqing was here. He was the direct disciple of Gu Huaixin, the fourth elder of Fishing Ocean Tower, and belonged to the same faction as Granny Bizhu … It was not difficult to guess his attitude.
Before this, Chung Geng Sheng and the others had come to the Heaven's Edge Stage several times, but they were all stopped by him. They didn't even get to see Zhu Biqiong's face. They were adamant about the rules of the sect, which meant that they had to be impartial.
No matter how strong Chung Geng Sheng's background was, they couldn't do much on the Isle of Huai.
Faced with Ji Shaoqing's obstruction once again, before Zhong Xuan Sheng could say anything, an extremely heroic female voice had already continued, "You can take a look at the Sea Frontier List yourself!"
It was Huaying Palace Head Jiang Wuyou who landed in front of the Tianya Stage.
Behind her were Li Longchuan and Yan Fu.
Several young figures landed on the stone steps that connected to the Tianya Stage. They didn't need to do much. Just their family background alone was enough to give off a sense of oppression.
Ji Shaoqing glanced at these people indifferently before looking back at Jiang Wuyou. "So it's Huaying Palace Head. No wonder you're so impressive!"
He was indeed calm.
Jiang Wuyou's phoenix eyes turned and looked at him. "You seem to be dissatisfied with me?"
"I wouldn't dare." Ji Shaoqing bowed politely. "However, regarding Jiang Wang's success in clearing his name, words can't be relied on. I have to see it with my own eyes. Please wait a moment and allow me to check the Sea and Border Rankings. "
Although his words were pleasant to the ears, they seemed to be reasonable. However, it was hard to say how long it would take and how long it would take to check.
Pa!
Jiang Wuyou casually took out a Sea and Border Rankings. "If you want to see it with your own eyes, look at this!"
She took a step forward. Although she was standing at the bottom of the Tianya Stage, she seemed to be the one looking down. "Ji Shaoqing, don't tell me you're illiterate?"
"How can the Sea and Border Rankings be casually taken out?" Ji Shaoqing said softly, "Of course, I don't mean that Palace Head will fake it. It's just that the Sea Suppression Alliance has just been established and the seas are not peaceful. There are many people with ulterior motives. My eyesight is not good and my experience is shallow. I can't be sure if it's real or fake. As a disciple of Fishing Ocean Tower, I have to be more careful in these chaotic times. Palace Head, please allow me to check the Sea and Border Rankings in the tower. "
His tone was humble and his voice was gentle. Even his expression was polite.
However, it was precisely this attitude that made people angry.
There was no way to argue, unless they directly attacked.
However, attacking a direct disciple of Fishing Ocean Tower on the Tianya Stage was not a rational choice.
Jiang Wuyou was burning with anger, but with her status, it was not appropriate for her to speak.
Therefore, Chung Geng Sheng spoke again. His face was as dark as water. "Ji Shaoqing, you can do it twice, but not thrice. This is the fourth time we've come to the Tianya Stage. Are you sure you want to stop us? Especially now that Jiang Wang has completed his cleansing … Are you sure you've thought about the consequences? "
"I don't know what Young Master Sheng means." Ji Shaoqing even had a fawning smile on his face as he counted. "Huaying Palace, Junggenjia, Shimen Li Family, Beijun Yan family, right? How prominent! How would I dare to go against you on purpose? However … "
He stopped smiling and changed the topic. "This is the Tianya Stage, Fishing Ocean Tower's Tianya Stage. How could this Ji dare to neglect his duty? You said that Jiang Wang has completed his cleansing, so I have to confirm it. Isn't this the right thing to do? "
How could he not know that Jiang Wang had completed his cleansing?
Granny Bizhu was already dead! She must have died in Jiang Wang's hands. How could he not know?
It could be said that he paid as much attention to Jiang Wang and Granny Bizhu's trip to the Bewildering World as Chung Geng Sheng and the others.
Granny Bizhu had ruined his plan. Her death was not to be regretted. But her death had caused Gu Huaixin's entire faction to lose face! Not to mention fighting for second place in the Fishing Ocean Tower, they might even lose a few pieces of flesh under the current circumstances!
As Gu Huaixin's most valued disciple, he had benefited greatly from Gu Huaixin's advancement. Now that Gu Huaixin had failed, his loss was also among the highest!
It was a good opportunity to stand out among his peers, but now he had to retreat.
How could he not hate Jiang Wang? How could he not hate Zhu Biqiong, who had betrayed him?
Chung Geng Sheng looked at him and said slowly, "It's reasonable that you want to confirm the cleansing results. Your Fishing Sea Tower's concern for your disciples and your strict attitude in handling business matters is truly admirable. "
Ji Shaoqing seemed to not hear the sarcasm in his words. He only said, "Brother Chongxuan, you flatter me. I'm just doing my job. We can all understand each other. "
"Then how do you want to confirm it? If you want to go back to your sect's encampment to read the Sea and Border Rankings, then please go ahead. " Chung Geng Sheng made a 'do as you please' gesture. "If you want to verify it with someone, why don't you tell us? We all have friends. Maybe we can help you get in touch with them as soon as possible. "
Ji Shaoqing paused. He was stumped for a moment. He was just stalling for time and deliberately making things difficult for these people. It would be better if they caused trouble. On the Isle of Wight, he had no reason to be afraid of anyone.
But he didn't expect this damn fatty to let them do as they pleased.
Now that he let them do as they pleased, he realized his dilemma.
If he left the Tianya Stage now, those black-armored soldiers might not be able to withstand the pressure of these people. And which name did he mention, and that person knew how to help him stall for time without any prior discussion?
"A life is at stake. Brother Ji, please make a decision quickly." Li Longchuan immediately chased after him. "Doing your job doesn't mean you're stalling for time, right? Or are you saying you want to sit and watch Zhu Biqiong slowly die? Even if she has a thousand faults, she was once your fellow disciple! "
"How could that be!" Ji Shaoqing naturally didn't want to admit this bad reputation. He immediately said, "Brother Li, don't misunderstand. Sigh, this matter is troublesome. I also want Little Zhu to be well … "
As he explained, his eyes flickered. He suddenly said, "Junior Brother Xu! Please come over for a chat! "
At this moment, a cultivator happened to be flying not far from the Tianya Stage. He stopped when he heard this and hesitated for a moment before still flying over.
When this person flew closer, Ji Shaoqing said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xu, it's like this. I'm guarding the Tianya Stage and watching over important criminals. I can't leave. Can you help me take a look at the Sea and Border Roll in the sect's encampment and see if that Jiang Wang has completed his cleansing? “”
For the elite disciples of the Fishing Sea Tower, the Sea and Border Roll wasn't rare. Ji Shaoqing purposely pointed to the Sea and Border Roll in the sect encampment. As one of the three sections of the Sea and Border Roll, that roll was naturally more accurate and trustworthy. But its main purpose was to make the visitor run a few more steps.
But actually, there was a deeper layer to Ji Shaoqing's choice.
Because the visitor was surnamed Xu and named Yuan. He was the son of the Fishing Sea Tower's third elder, Xu Xiangwan!
With the competitive relationship between Gu Huaixin and Xu Xiangwan, especially this time at the Tianya Stage, they had almost fallen out with each other. His relationship with Xu Yuan naturally wasn't any better.
He was sure that with Xu Yuan's personality, it wouldn't be good for him to refuse in front of outsiders. But if he turned around, he might not necessarily pay attention to him.
This was in fact stalling for time. Chung Geng Sheng and the others couldn't blame him. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame Xu Yuan. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Glancing at Jiang Wuyou and the others, Xu Yuan nodded and was about to leave.
"Brother Xu, wait!" Yan Fu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, "How can I trouble you? I have a Sea and Border Roll here. I'll give it to you as a gift to make friends. If there's anything you need to verify, just take a look. "
The Sea and Border Roll was a copy of the Sea and Border Roll and wasn't very rare. But it wasn't easy to obtain the qualifications to own it.
These rolls were also divided into several different grades.
For example, the one that Jiang Wang brought to the bewildering world only recorded his own battle results and would be taken back after leaving the bewildering world.
The one that Yan Fu gave to Xu Yuan now could reflect the information of many cultivators in the bewildering world and belonged to the category that was very difficult to obtain. In terms of value, it could be said to be worth a lot.
Yan Fu was a person of few words, calm and reserved. But the moment he opened his mouth, he would hit the nail on the head and had an unstoppable extravagance.
If he wasn't buying it, he was giving it away.
Ji Shaoqing naturally wasn't happy to see this and hurriedly stopped him, "Let's go back to the sect encampment and check. I don't mean to say that you forged it, but it's hard to distinguish between the real and the fake. I've said it before, we have to be careful … "
"This is real."
Xu Yuan took the Sea and Border Roll and suddenly interrupted Ji Shaoqing, saying with a serious expression, "This Sea and Border Roll is real, I can still see that."
Ji Shaoqing pursed his lips and didn't say anything in the end.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to take a look again. Has Jiang Wang completed his cleansing?" Chung Geng Sheng asked with a smile.
He actually opened the Sea and Border Roll and started to look.
His brows raised, "He really completed his cleansing in such a short time!"
When Jiang Wang entered the bewildering world, it was the fourth of the fourth month, the day of the Sea Worship Ceremony. On the eighth day, he was surrounded and attacked. One against nine, killing six and retreating three before returning to the island to rest.
On the ninth day, he encountered the Sea Clan soldiers surrounding the floating island.
On the same day, he broke out of the encirclement. On the same day, he used the suppression of the Buddha's Pure Land to kill almost all the Sea Clan soldiers surrounding him, completing his cleansing.
This day was the thirteenth of the fourth month.
In just nine days, he had killed more than a hundred commander-level Sea Clan soldiers. Even if they were all beginner commander-level, this was still a very impressive achievement!
On average, it was equivalent to killing more than ten Outer-Level cultivators every day.
What kind of concept was this?
Only a place like the bewildering world, where the entire East Region's human race was fighting the entire Sea Clan, would not be so terrifying.
However, the death of a hundred commander-level Sea Clan soldiers had in fact almost emptied the entire nest's elite forces.
This was a loss that even the White Rajah felt pained by.
Why did Fu Yanqing approve of Jiang Wang so much? Because he also knew that among the hundred commander-level Sea Clan soldiers, there were even Shui Yingrong, Yu Wangu, and Yu Siqing, who were absolute powerhouses.
Even if he did not know the inside story, based on the battle results that Xu Yuan saw now, this was definitely Tianjiao's level of battle results.
He had no reason to help Ji Shaoqing hide this. In fact, if he could embarrass Ji Shaoqing, he would definitely not mind.
Chung Geng Sheng looked at Ji Shaoqing. "Did you hear that? Senior Brother Xu Yuan won't help us lie, right? Can you step aside now? "
"Of course. Since Senior Brother Xu said so, of course there won't be a problem."
Ji Shaoqing smiled. "Please ask Jiang Wang to come and take her away. I won't stop him."
He said that he would not stop him, but he still insisted that only Jiang Wang could come and take her away!
Everyone knew that before Jiang Wang set off for the bewildering world, Zhu Biqiong was already on the verge of death. Wei Xun was using Zhu Biqiong's safety to force Jiang Wang to complete the cleansing mission in a shorter time.
Chung Geng Sheng and the others came over repeatedly to ensure Zhu Biqiong's safety before Jiang Wang came back. He would not risk his life only to come back empty-handed!
Ji Shaoqing completely understood their feelings. In order to disgust them, he insisted on not letting them take Zhu Biqiong away for treatment first!
Xu Yuan frowned. He did not understand why Ji Shaoqing insisted on stalling for time. Would it change the result if they came a little earlier or later? It was nothing more than to disgust Jiang Wang. It would throw away the Fishing Sea Tower's magnanimity for no reason.
He could not stand it, so he said, "Junior Brother Ji, why do you need to guard the Tianya Stage personally? Have you been too idle these past few days? "
Gu Huaixin's potential to make a leap was interrupted at the Tianya Stage, and many of his plans fell through. Now he was "too idle".
What he did not know was that Ji Shaoqing did not need to do anything. He just wanted to disgust Chung Geng Sheng and the others to relieve the resentment in his heart.
Hearing this, he only said, "I know that Senior Brother Xu has been very busy these days and is too lazy to pay attention to trivial matters. However, although I did not receive orders to guard the Tianya Stage by myself, I came here voluntarily. However, it is the unshirkable responsibility of every disciple of the Fishing Sea Tower to protect the integrity and dignity of the Fishing Sea Tower! "
"That's enough!" Jiang Wuyou frowned and scolded angrily, "You've cleared your name and verified it, yet you're still entangled here. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're from the Fishing Sea Tower? Do you think I'm not good enough? "
"Why do you say that, Palace Master? What entanglement? I said that Jiang Wang can take her away at any time. Is there a problem with that? " Ji Shaoqing looked at her fearlessly. "Your Highness, I have to remind you that this is the Isle of Huai!"
He even looked at Chung Geng Sheng and the others provocatively. "If you want to cause trouble, although Shaoqing is not talented, I have the guts to accompany you!"
He had perfected five prefectures and obtained two theurgies. Even in terms of combat power, he was not inferior to these nobles in front of him. Not to mention that this was the Tianya Stage!
As Ji Shaoqing's voice fell, the black-armored soldiers who were originally standing all over the Tianya Stage also shifted their gazes and looked over.
No matter what background Jiang Wuyou and Chung Geng Sheng had, if they caused trouble on the Isle of Huai and went against the people of the Fishing Sea Tower, they would only be at a disadvantage. If they could not even suppress a few juniors, the Fishing Sea Tower could forget about unifying the coastal islands.
"I'm speaking in the name of Neverwinter Island, one of the members of the Sea Suppression Alliance."
Chung Geng Sheng narrowed his eyes. "If the Sea Suppression Alliance wants to truly unify the coastal islands, it has to be reasonable and follow the rules! Jiang Wang has cleared his name, and Zhu Biqiong is innocent now. What right do you have to imprison her? "
Those close to him knew that when this fatty narrowed his eyes, it meant that he was ready to kill.
Unfortunately, Ji Shaoqing did not know. Or even if he did, he would not care because of the Fishing Sea Tower.
He only said, "If I remember correctly, our Tower Master said that after Jiang Wang has cleared his name, he can take her away."
His gaze swept over Chung Geng Sheng, Jiang Wuyou, Li Longchuan, and Yan Fu. He emphasized, "It's Jiang Wang who will take her away, not any of you."
Then he turned back to Xu Yuan. "Senior Brother Xu, he gave you a Sea Border List. Did you forget the Tower Master's words? Why don't I give you one too? Please don't forget your roots! How about that? "
"You!"
Xu Yuan was so angry that his face turned red, but he could not refute.
Because what Ji Shaoqing said was true.
Even if Wei Xun said it casually, it should not be so strict that Jiang Wang had to clear his name and return to the Tianya Stage to take Zhu Biqiong away.
But what if?
Who dared to ask for proof?
Ji Shaoqing regarded every word of the Tower Master as the truth. Who could find fault with it?
Jiang Wuyou, Chung Geng Sheng, and the others could not find fault with it.
As a disciple of the Fishing Sea Tower, Xu Yuan could not either!
