Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Nearly a hundred boats made of black wood fiercely puffed up their sails and sailed rapidly on the sea.
These boats weren't large, but they were long and narrow. The sides of the boats were extremely high, and the sails were raised high. The hull was painted with a thick layer of black paint and was equipped with eighteen oars.
These were the fast boats used by the Da Qian Navy for sneak attacks. They were extremely fast, and as long as the wind was in the right direction, they could travel hundreds of miles in a night. However, their shortcomings were also obvious. They didn't have enough storage, so they weren't suitable for long-distance battles.
In fact, this time, Wei Taicang had sent his own elites, a hundred "Hidden Death Guards", a hundred "Ursa Guards", a hundred "Water Demon Battalion", and twenty-four Sky Blade Guards to chase after Hong Yi. Each of them had only prepared three days' worth of rations and fresh water. They were determined to kill Hong Yi.
The "Ursa Guards" under his command were Fire God Grand Guardians, Whale Splitting Death Guards, and Xiantian Realm experts.
In addition, the two commanders of the "Hidden Death Guards", Wei Po and Wei Mie, were also Xiantian Realm experts!
The two commanders of the "Ursa Guards", Wei Sang and Wei Shang, were even Xiantian Realm experts.
The two commanders of the "Water Demon Battalion" were Xiantian Realm experts.
And Wei Lian, Wei Gong, and Wei Shang, who led the twenty-four Sky Blade Guards, were peak Xiantian Realm experts.
Only someone like Wei Taicang, who had been the governor of the Southern Province for thirty years and a high official of the border, would be able to mobilize thirty-three Xiantian experts at once. Even if it was any of the nobles in the Jade Capital, they probably wouldn't have such great power.
"Miss Yuxian, why are you so interested in chasing after Hong Yi?"
At the bow of the boat, a middle-aged man dressed in embroidered clothes was Wei Taicang's second son, Wei Liancheng. At this moment, he was accompanying Yun Meng, the captain of the Golden Wolf Guards, the top young expert of Yunmeng Tianlong School, and the daughter of Peacock King Xing Xuan, who was ranked first among the Eight Great Demon Immortals, to chase after Hong Yi.
Other than the thirty-three Xiantian experts and three hundred Martial Masters, there were also the archers of the Iron Demon Guards under Shin Yu-seng and the experts of the Gold Wolf Army.
The sails fluttered in the wind as they sailed, and the canvas was almost blown into pockets.
But what was strange was that the sea was calm and the waves were gone.
That was because the wind on the sails of each ship was not the sea breeze, but the chilly wind. The chilly wind blew on the sails, propelling the ship forward quickly.
This was clearly a Dao technique!
Without a doubt, the one who made the hundred fast ships move as if they were flying and skate forward was none other than the Peacock King's daughter, Shin Yu-seng.
"I don't know this Hong Yi person either, but recently Father wanted to deal with the Taishang Dao. I looked up all the information on the Taishang Dao and found out that the Taishang Dao's Sect Leader, Monogatari, had a younger sister called Meng Bingyun. She married Hong Xuanji and gave birth to a son called Hong Yi. This piqued my interest."
At this moment, Shin Yu-seng was still dressed in green and had a headscarf on her head. She was dressed like a scholar, but when she spoke, she was neither fast nor slow. Her voice was as gentle as the spring rain, but it also carried traces of immortal qi, making one feel as if they were in the realm of immortals.
"Those who are related to the Taishang Dao are definitely not good people. When I entered the Da Qian, I heard that Wei Lei died at his hands, and that Zhao Feirong's death was also related to him. This further confirmed my judgment of him. This person is very likely to be an important chess piece of the Taishang Dao. "
"An important chess piece of the Taishang Dao?" Wei Liancheng frowned. "If he's an important chess piece of the Taishang Dao, then won't it be very difficult for us to kill him? The Taishang Dao won't let us kill Hong Yi so easily, right? "
"The Taishang Dao isn't the Daizen Temple. The Taishang Dao's Grand Supremacy looks down on the world and emphasizes the word 'one.' There are only two experts, one is the sect leader, the other is the Saintess. Even if there are two or three elders, they aren't outstanding, and they can't learn the essence of the Taishang Dao's martial arts. Right now, my father is working with the Xuantian Hall Lord, Sky Snake King, Bai Fengxian, and Tu Yuan Sheng to kill Monogatari. As long as Monogatari dies, the Taishang Dao will immediately collapse, "Shin Yu-seng said calmly as she gazed into the distance.
"Oh? The elders of the Taishang Dao can't receive the true teachings of their martial arts? "Wei Liancheng said in shock." If that's the case, then the Taishang Dao isn't anything to be afraid of. "
"That's the scariest thing about the Taishang Dao." Shin Yu-seng shook her head. "Every sect leader of the Taishang Dao is definitely a peerless expert. Right now, my father and five other peerless experts are working together to kill him. If he doesn't die, then no one in the world, no force, can do anything to him. The Daizen Temple and the Taishang Dao are equally famous. The Daizen Temple has five hundred Golden Arhats at the peak of the Connate stage, and who knows how many other Connate experts there are. Other than that, there are thirty-six Bodhisattva Grandmasters, four Wu Sheng Heavenly Kings, Yin Yue is a Human Deity, Yin Hai and Yin Hui are dao experts who have gone through lightning tribulations, and there are a few Ghost Deities among the Yin generation monks. With such strength, they are only as famous as the Taishang Dao. How terrifying. "
"Although I haven't met Hong Yi before, I have a feeling that this person is the strongest enemy I have ever met. I can't underestimate him. He might even be the next sect leader groomed by the Taishang Dao. After defeating this person, I will find a chance to fight Su Mu. Hopefully, I will be able to catch a glimpse of the Taishang Dao's dao techniques from Hong Yi. "
Although Shin Yu-seng's tone was calm, everyone could tell that she had already treated Hong Yi as a formidable opponent.
"The next sect leader groomed by the Taishang Dao?" The more Wei Liancheng heard, the more shocked he became.
"That's right. The role of every generation's Saintess is to find a successor to the sect leader. The previous generation's Saintess, Meng Bingyun, found a successor, Hong Xuanji. It's a pity that Hong Xuanji broke through her Taishang Dao and learned all of the Taishang Dao's techniques. The Taishang Dao finally suffered a loss. The Taishang Dao's Saintess, Su Mu, came to the Jade Capital. Hong Yi didn't have much fame before, but in a short year, he suddenly rose. Only the supreme dao techniques of the Taishang Dao can help him be reborn. "
Shin Yu-seng sighed softly.
"Are you sure that this is the direction that Hong Yi is heading in? If he's heading in the wrong direction on the vast sea, he won't be able to find him even if he flies up into the sky. "
"I can't be wrong. There haven't been any waves in the past few days. Look at the junk and wooden blocks left by the ships along the way. It must be a large ship passing by. He's bringing a lot of goods with him. He wants to do business overseas while taking refuge, so he won't be moving very fast. If we travel light, it'll be very easy to catch up to him."
In the southeast, a fleet of ships braved the bright night as they sped along.
The people on the ships were all dressed in green robes. They held swords in their hands and carried bows on their backs. Beneath their robes, they also wore dark gold armor. Clearly, they were the dark gold kasayas of the Daizen Temple.
Without a doubt, they were the Daluo's men. The Daluo's Daluo Divine General, a Connate expert, had come to kill Hong Yi and retrieve the Peach God Sword.
The leader of this group was an old woman, three other old men, and a young man who held a giant bow as tall as a man and carried a quiver on his back. There were nine arrows in the quiver.
This young man still had hair on his lips, and he smelled like a baby.
He was the rising star of the Daluo after Zhao Feirong, Wen Liang. He had not yet come of age, but he had relied on his cultivation to enter the Daluo elder's line of work.
One must know that the Daluo elders had to be Grandmasters in martial arts and Taoist techniques at the very least.
"It's a pity that Mr Wu isn't coming. Isn't he going to capture Hong Yi and bring him back to Marquis Wu Wen's residence? "
"It's better that he's not coming. I'm going to bring back that bastard Hong Yi's head. He's just a hindrance, and it's going to be troublesome." The old woman, Elder Huang, shrieked with laughter.
Of the Daluo experts who had come to kill Hong Yi, Elder Huang was an expert in Taoist techniques. The other three old men were Martial Grandmasters, Elder Tian, Elder Long, and Elder Sha.
"We've mobilized such a large force this time. We don't even need Mr Wu to kill Hong Yi. But the Sect Leader is too cautious. He actually allowed Xiao Liang to bring the Sky Shaking Bow and Boundless Arrows that are meant to counter the Peach God Sword. "
Elder Tian stroked his beard as he looked at the giant bow on Wen Liang's back and the long arrows in the quiver with an envious look in his eyes.
The giant bow on Wen Liang's back was as tall as a person.
The material of the giant bow was actually the same color as the Yin Yang Peach God Sword, with fleshy veins. However, the two ends of the giant bow were engraved with two fist-sized savage beast heads. The eyes of the beast heads were embedded with two glowing red gems that looked like fresh blood. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the blood inside the gems was layered in layers, changing endlessly.
Apart from the blood-red eyes, the two savage beast heads had protruding fangs that bit down on the bowstring.
The bowstring was as thick as a thumb, and it was also blood-red in color. It was a devilish red, and no one knew what it was made of. It was pulled taut, and anyone who looked at it would feel a violent murderous intent surge in their hearts.
The strange shape of the giant bow did not look like a cavalry weapon, but more like some sort of immortal treasure.
There were a total of nine arrows in the quiver on Wen Liang's back. All of them were four feet long and as thick as a thumb. The arrows were covered in strange runes that didn't seem to have been written on them, but rather formed naturally.
These were two of the seven treasures of the Peach God Dao, the Sky Shaking Bow! The Boundless Arrow!
Back then, when Sect Leader Luo Tianyue died, the seven treasures of the Peach God Dao fell into the hands of Daluo.
"Although the Sky Shaking Bow and the Boundless Arrow can restrain the Peach God Sword, the other party was able to kill even Fei Rong. His strength is not to be underestimated. We must be extremely careful. Once we find his ship, I will immediately use the Sky Shaking Bow and the Boundless Arrow. We must injure him severely. Once the Boundless Arrow is fired, it will immediately cause the target to enter an illusion. Unless one is a ghost immortal, it will be difficult to escape. At the same time, the whistling sound of the arrows will frighten one's soul. Moreover, when the nine arrows are fired at the same time, they will seek out the enemy's aura like maggots on bones. I believe that we will be able to injure Hong Yi severely. When that time comes, we will swarm him! No one on the ship can be left alive! After all, he still holds the title of Pacification Navy. Attacking an official of the Imperial Court is a great crime. "
Although Wen Liang did not look like an adult, when he spoke and calculated, he was as careful as an old man.
"Of course we can't leave anyone alive! But this kid brought a lot of treasures with him. How are we going to bring them back? This is going to be troublesome. "
Elder Tian began to think about how to deal with the aftermath.
"I have already sent people to receive him! After killing Hong Yi, move all the treasures on the ship away. Leave the official ship behind, and let the Pacification Navy know that he was killed by pirates. "
Wen Liang said.
"Good! You are so young, but your plan is so meticulous. "
The rest of the elders exclaimed in admiration.
"What? Essence Ascension! You even told me this? This is the Essence Temple's Orifice Refinement Manual! You should know that if I know the secret of Essence Ascension, it will not be difficult for me to pass the Lightning Tribulation! This is the supreme connection between the spirit and the body, the soul and the spirit! " Chan Yinsha exclaimed in surprise. The teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and a drop of tea that seemed to be shining with five colors splashed out.
The two ivory warships and the five iron-armored flywheels were anchored, and they were still quietly floating on the sea.
At this time, the moon had already fallen into the sea, and the morning star was slowly rising in the sky. It was already the darkest moment before dawn.
The banquet on the deck had already ended, and everyone had gone to bed early.
Only Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha were on the deck, using a small red clay stove to boil tea to sober up, and chatting.
The tea was the Five-colored Cloud Mist Tea from Jade Lotus Mountain.
Even Chan Yinsha had not tasted this tea before. Now that she was drinking it, she felt refreshed, and could not help but want some.
Hong Yi wanted to rope in Chan Yinsha. He had already given her the Celestial Peach Sword, and before Chan Yinsha even asked, he had 'considerately' given her half a kilogram of the tea. This made Chan Yinsha's impression of Hong Yi increase by another level.
Even demon immortals had to pay attention to the quality of life. The zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea, wine, and meals were naturally the more exquisite the better. It would ease one's mood, ease one's thoughts, and speed up one's cultivation.
The two of them brewed tea and chatted about the past and present. Hong Yi had read a lot and was very diligent in analyzing them. He knew a lot more than Chan Yinsha. As they chatted, Chan Yinsha felt that it was very comfortable to be with Hong Yi.
Moreover, when Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha were talking about cultivation and Taoist magic arts, they didn't hold back at all. They appeared to be very sincere. Even when he got the magic arts from Mr. Zhou, he didn't hold back at all. He mentioned the mysterious acupoint connecting the soul and the spirit and the body, which made Chan Yinsha turn pale with fright.
There was no reason for Chan Yinsha not to be shocked when he heard the words "Essence Qi in the womb".
This magic art could allow her blood and spirit to be filled with Yang energy to support her soul. After cultivating it, she would have at least a thirty percent chance of surviving the Lightning Tribulation.
Just this method of training acupoints was ten times, no, a hundred times more valuable than the Divine Peach Sword.
"Yinsha Girl and I hit it off the moment we met. There's nothing to hide. Since it's helpful to Yinsha Girl, there's no harm in telling you." Hong Yi said with a smile.
"I'm all ears."
Chan Yinsha put down her teacup and pricked up her ears, afraid that she would miss a word.
Just as Hong Yi was about to explain how to measure the "Essence Qi in the womb" and how to cultivate it, a soft voice came from afar.
"Hmph! Someone's here. He's dozens of miles away. He's filled with killing intent. I'm afraid he's here for you. Damn it! How dare he disturb me at such a crucial time! "
Chan Yinsha snorted! She was very unhappy, extremely unhappy! No matter who it was, it would be strange if they were disturbed when they were about to hear a peerless magic art.
"I'll let them have a taste of what it's like to be bitten by a thousand sharks!"
