On the rippling blue sea, a luxury liner braved the wind and waves as it sailed southward. On the deck of the ship's bow, Tan Xiu held a teacup and quietly looked into the distance. After a night of sailing, the sun had already risen from the distant sea, and the outline of an island ahead was already faintly visible.
"That's Clam Island, Grand Master."
Gu Xiaoxue quietly appeared behind Tan Xiu with graceful steps.
"Your proposal is very good. It's indeed suitable to place the medicinal herb plantation base on this island," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "The spiritual qi here is abundant, and it will be greatly beneficial to the growth of the medicinal herbs if we arrange a large array here. That's right, our people have already explored this Clam Island, right? What's the area of this island? "
"It's 5.1 kilometers long and 3.6 kilometers wide, with a maximum elevation of about 12 meters," said Gu Xiaoxue. "The island is mostly covered with woodland, but there's a natural lake with a diameter of about 200 to 300 meters inside. Additionally, our Everlasting Feast Hall's members who are proficient in pharmacology have explored the island and found that there are several precious medicinal herbs on the island, some of which are on the medicinal herb list you prepared. "
Tan Xiu nodded and sighed, "This kind of isolated island with no human traces all year round will naturally grow some precious medicinal herbs under the nourishment of abundant spiritual qi. Even the age of these medicinal herbs was shockingly ancient. If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that many of the medicinal herbs we found are very old, right? "
"That's right," said Gu Xiaoxue with a smile. "There are more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs that are more than 1,000 years old."
"If these precious medicinal herbs were to be sold on the market, their value would definitely be very high," said Tan Xiu. "Unfortunately, there are very few people in this world who are proficient in medicinal herbs, and even fewer people come to this Clam Island. That's why these medicinal herbs can be preserved for such a long time. "
While the two were talking, the liner was only a few kilometers away from Clam Island. Due to Tan Xiu's order, the liner didn't stop at the northern coast of Clam Island but circled around the island. Tan Xiu could clearly see another island a few kilometers south of Clam Island. The area of this island seemed to be smaller than Clam Island, but the terrain was vaguely higher, with the highest point being about 30 to 40 meters.
"Boss, we found a small liner on the southern coastline of Clam Island." Chief Instructor Gao Feng, who had been stationed at the Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ for a long time, strode over with a pair of binoculars in his hand and a grim expression on his face.
"I saw it!"
Tan Xiu nodded lightly.
Gao Feng was stunned, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. One must know that the liner they were on was several kilometers away from the coastline of Clam Island. Even if ordinary people could see the island, it would be very difficult for them to see a small freighter parked on the coastline, right?
Unless …
Unless someone had a pair of eagle eyes.
Gu Xiaoxue glanced at Gao Feng, who had a weird expression on his face, and faintly said, "When your cultivation reaches our level, you will be able to see things from a few kilometers away."
Gao Feng's eyes lit up as he nodded respectfully.
"There's someone on that liner. If my guess is correct, it's the Yao Family's liner," said Tan Xiu lightly. Moreover, they have already discovered us. Send someone over! "
"Yes!"
Gao Feng acknowledged and immediately returned to the cabin.
Quickly.
When Tan Xiu's liner approached the coastline, four stalwart men carrying firearms on the other small liner were already standing on the stern deck.
"Private island, leave immediately!"
The leader of the group, a bald man, had a cold and gloomy expression in his eyes as he shouted with a megaphone.
However …
Tan Xiu's liner ignored the other party's shout and stopped tens of meters away from the small liner. Tan Xiu and Gu Xiaoxue then stepped on the reef on the shore, followed by Gao Feng and ten other experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall.
"Stop!"
Four burly men rushed over with guns, and the leader, a bald man, roared angrily.
Tan Xiu faintly asked, "You're not good people since you have firearms. Since you said that this island is private, then I'd like to ask, what's his surname? "
"His surname is Yao," said the bald man proudly. "Do you know the Yao Family in the Imperial Capital? "This island has been obtained by our Yao Family, so it's now our private territory. I don't care who you are. Leave immediately, else don't blame us for being impolite. "
"The Yao Family? What an awe-inspiring Yao Family! "
Tan Xiu coldly glanced at him and said, "Kill them!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four figures flickered lightning-fast and instantly pounced toward the four big men of the Yao Family. Their speed was very fast, and without anyone noticing, they were holding sharp daggers in their hands.
"Fire!"
The bald man's expression greatly changed as he aimed his gun at the incoming figures and pulled the trigger without hesitation. However, a series of bullets were fired, yet none of them could hit the four experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall. Their speed was extremely fast, and the distance of more than 20 meters was covered in the blink of an eye. The sharp daggers slashed across the four big men of the Yao Family with fear written all over their faces as they accurately pierced their vital points.
Bam …
Four corpses were thrown on the beach.
A cold glint flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. A glaring ray of light flashed from the small liner not far away as a silver needle instantly appeared in his hand. He flicked his hand and threw it, piercing the glass and piercing the glabella of a man holding a sniper rifle.
"Go! Kill everyone on that liner!"
Tang Xiu's eyes narrowed as a cold expression flashed in his eyes.
Immediately.
The four experts didn't hesitate to pounce toward the small liner. They were all ruthless characters whose hands were stained with blood. They executed Tan Xiu's order without hesitation.
"Wait!"
Tang Xiu's complexion suddenly changed as he watched the four people rushing toward the small liner. Disbelief filled his eyes and he instantly retracted his spiritual sense that he had released.
Gu Xiaoxue turned her head and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Grand Master?"
Tan Xiu didn't answer her but strode toward the small liner. When he came to the front of the liner, he lifted his feet and stepped on the void to step on the liner's deck.
"GOD! This is … "
Aside from Gu Xiaoxue, Gao Feng and the other ten experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall were dumbfounded as they watched Tan Xiu step on the void and step on the liner's deck. Their heartbeat accelerated. Although they were perfectly aware that one could fly in the air after their cultivation had broken through to a very high level, they were still shocked to the point that it was hard for them to be able to see such a miraculous scene with their own eyes.
"All of you, come out!"
Standing on the bow deck, Tang Xiu shouted sternly.
At this moment, more than a dozen people who operated the liner and were responsible for serving as attendants came out of the cabin. Most of them were men, but there were also four women. One of them was a familiar face that Tan Xiu never dreamed that he would see here under such circumstances.
"Tang … Tan Xiu?"
Cheng Yannan also didn't expect that she would meet Tan Xiu here. Her eyes were a bit flustered and her heartbeat accelerated.
Tan Xiu frowned deeply. He pointed at Cheng Yannan and shouted in a deep voice, "Kill them all except her!"
"Affirmative!"
The four stalwart men attacked very quickly. Amidst the screams and screams, they quickly killed more than a dozen people. Under Gu Xiaoxue's order, the corpses were removed from the ship and thrown on the beach.
Blargh …
Never had Cheng Yannan seen such a bloody scene. Her stomach acid gushed out, making her bend over and retch. Fear could be seen in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that the order just now was issued by Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu stood in front of Cheng Yannan. He didn't have the intention to kill Cheng Yannan, but he wanted to figure out why Cheng Yannan appeared here. It must be noted that this liner belonged to the Yao Family, and those who were qualified to come here were also people that the Yao Family trusted. After all, the Yao Family's secret intention to rent Clam Island was an absolute secret.
"Give her some water to rinse her mouth."
Tan Xiu ordered.
Immediately after, a stalwart man entered the cabin and took out a bottle of mineral water from inside. He then handed it to Cheng Yannan, who had stopped vomiting.
"Thank you!"
Cheng Yannan's complexion was a bit pale. She took the bottle of water and rinsed her mouth. Her eyes quickly glanced at the corpses on the beach before she slowly looked up at Tan Xiu.
"Speak!" Tan Xiu said lightly. "How come you are here?"
Hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yannan said, "My uncle is Yao Qingteng. My family was involved in renting Clam Island. I begged my uncle to bring me here. "
"You know that's not what I'm asking," Tan Xiu said in a deep voice.
Cheng Yannan's eyes were somewhat evasive as she lowered her head and said, "What do you want to know, then?"
"Cheng Yannan," Tan Xiu snorted coldly and said, "I used to regard you as a good classmate and friend. Speaking of which, I was even your savior. I didn't expect that there would be a day when we would have to hide our conversation. I won't ask if you don't want to say it. "
Cheng Yannan suddenly looked up and looked at Gu Xiaoxue and the surrounding men, saying, "Can we talk in private?"
Tan Xiu nodded. He then looked at Gao Feng and said, "Dispose of all those corpses and don't leave any traces. Sail to the sea and sink this liner. "
"Understood!"
Gao Feng replied.
Tan Xiu's figure flashed and appeared beside Cheng Yannan. He grabbed her shoulder and flew straight to the beach. His speed was extremely fast. In just a few seconds, he and Cheng Yannan had already appeared 100 meters away.
"Ah …"
Cheng Yannan, who was dizzy and disoriented, managed to regain her footing with great difficulty. She turned her head and looked at the small liner 100 meters away, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Tan Xiu, you …"
"Yeah, you're not dreaming," said Tan Xiu lightly.
Cheng Yannan gulped down her saliva and looked at Tan Xiu in disbelief, asking with a trembling voice, "Who are you? How can you … fly? "
