Of course, Hong Yi would not believe Wei Liancheng.
Even if the other party truly wanted to join him, Hong Yi would not believe him. After all, the other party had not truly joined him. He had said so much, handed over all his secrets, and then even wrote down the "True Wu Sheng Body" in order to numb him.
If it was anyone else, after hearing so many world-shaking secrets and receiving the body cultivation secrets of a Saber Saint, their mind would definitely be shaken and they would lose their ability to think clearly.
Moreover, this was not all. The other party had even used emotions to compare himself to Hong Yi's past, causing him to resonate with him.
This kind of secret was spouted out without any cost, and he used emotions to move others. If it was anyone else, even if they had a sharp mind, they would at least feel that Wei Liancheng had a lot of value and could be used to keep him alive.
However, Hong Yi had studied the history books deeply. He had thousands of years of cunning and unfathomable human hearts. He had a detailed account in his heart, and his mind was especially calm. However, how could he be moved?
Moreover, the "True Wu Sheng Body" had a few small flaws in the combination of the Heavenly Snake Breathing Technique and the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique.
If it was any other martial arts expert, they would not be able to find any flaws after seeing it. However, Hong Yi had always studied these two martial arts, attempting to use the state of Thoughtless Tranquility to merge the two martial arts into one. He had thought about it for a long time, so how could he not see the small flaws?
This Wei Liancheng was playing tricks with the martial arts! It could be seen that he was playing tricks in other areas as well. His words were filled with falsehoods and could not be trusted.
Hong Yi could say with certainty that if he really cultivated according to the "True Wu Sheng Body" that Wei Liancheng had written down, his internal organs would at the very least be displaced and he would bleed profusely.
The breathing technique could not be compared to the training of the muscles, bones, and flesh. If the internal organs were damaged, it would be difficult to treat them.
This was also the true reason why Hong Yi had been unable to merge the Heavenly Snake Breathing Technique and the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique.
Merging the two martial arts was definitely not an easy matter. With Hong Yi's shallow martial arts experience, it was even more difficult to do it.
"Hmph! Wei Liancheng, do you think you can deceive me just by faking your breathing technique? Little do they know that not only do I know the Heavenly Snake Breathing Technique, I even know the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique. Although this was the True Wu Sheng Physique and I couldn't practice it, it gave me a lot of inspiration! I don't want a specific cultivation method, I just want this experience and thought process! He could still figure out the train of thought of Saber Saint Gong Yangyu. To me, martial arts experience is an unparalleled wealth! "
When Hong Yi gave the order to cripple Wei Liancheng, he retreated from his seat, his hand clutching the cultivation technique of the "True Wu Sheng Body".
When he had Wei Liancheng write, he had done so to lower the other party's wariness and remove the restraints on him, allowing Wei Liancheng to relax.
However, he wasn't afraid that Wei Liancheng would suddenly explode and injure him.
Although martial arts experts had the saying, "Even if you're close, you're the enemy of a country." However, Hong Yi himself was a Xiantian expert, and he also had Chi Zhuiyang, an early stage Martial Scholar, by his side. Furthermore, Chan Yinsha was at the peak of Martial Scholar, half a step into the realm of Wu Sheng Body. Wei Liancheng was just a small peak Xiantian expert. No matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to play any tricks, so he might as well be magnanimous.
At the same time, there was another reason why Hong Yi was pretending to be magnanimous. It was to make the other party feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so that the other party would reveal a large number of secrets to numb him.
Although Hong Yi wasn't as cunning as some of the old foxes in the history books, he was still very familiar with these psychological guesses and tricks.
When a person in a desperate situation felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, he would sacrifice his true secrets at all costs to numb the other party and expand this opportunity.
As expected, when Hong Yi turned hostile, retreated, and said the word "cripple", Wei Liancheng's aura instantly changed! At the same time, his eyes turned blood red! His body was like a primordial beast, suddenly showing its might!
Hong Yi had indeed guessed correctly!
Wei Liancheng had indeed revealed a large number of secrets in order to numb Hong Yi and make one last attempt! No matter how strong one's dao techniques were, in close combat, one had to be careful when encountering a martial arts expert. The slightest mistake would result in death!
In close combat, martial arts were used to dominate. In close combat, one could rival a country!
This was the true meaning of martial arts!
Wei Liancheng suddenly exploded, the bones and tendons all over his body crackling like firecrackers. In that instant, his right arm was like a large blade, suddenly bending, accumulating power, and then shooting straight. A stream of air that had been sliced apart appeared in front of him. This kind of power was like an ancient demonic blade descending into the mortal world!
His left hand, however, was first perfectly straight, and then bent like a sickle. When his elbow was bent, the fine muscles and muscles trembled lightly, emitting an incessant sound, as if an incomparably urgent talisman was hooking forward.
With one hand like a blade, and the other like a sickle, his body exploded with great power. As his feet moved, they were like two drills, drilling towards the ground. The tough ironwood deck, which had been soaked in tung oil to the point that sparks would fly when struck by a blade, was instantly torn apart like tofu under Wei Liancheng's drill-like feet.
As for the bones in Wei Liancheng's two legs, when they twisted to the left and right, the bones inside made a series of cracking noises. Anyone who heard it would feel their scalp go numb.
How could a person's bones be twisted like that? How could one's bones be so flexible? They were like vines.
With this move, Wei Liancheng pounced towards Hong Yi in a desperate attack. His movements were as fast as lightning, like an explosion of flames, like a gust of wind cutting through grass and beheading people!
The instant Hong Yi retreated, he felt Wei Liancheng's aura. When he looked at the other's figure, he felt as if he had fallen into a boundless purgatory. He could no longer struggle, sinking into it like a nightmare!
"Yinyang Purgatory! Yinyang Purgatory! You're just a Xiantian expert! How can you use the Yinyang Purgatory of the Lightning Saber Scripture!? How is this possible? Even a Martial Grandmaster would find it extremely difficult to use the Yinyang Purgatory! "
Hong Yi screamed in his mind, but he couldn't say anything because Wei Liancheng's speed was too fast! It was so fast that he couldn't even say a single word. The powerful aura, the gust of wind, and the oppressive aura made it so that Hong Yi couldn't say anything.
Wei Liancheng's desperate attack was the ultimate move of the Lightning Saber Scripture, Yinyang Purgatory.
The three major killing moves were "Swift Thunder Arc Light", "Yin Yang Purgatory", and "Heaven and Earth Furnace". This "Yin Yang Purgatory" was a martial art that could only be used by middle or late stage Martial Grandmasters. Even a Martial Sage would have to temporarily avoid it.
Wei Liancheng had actually used the power of a peak Xiantian expert to use the Yinyang Purgatory. This was too shocking. It also surpassed the common sense of martial arts and Hong Yi's understanding of the limits of the human body.
At this moment, Wei Liancheng's blood-red eyes flashed with a hint of pride. He had also predicted that Hong Yi would definitely underestimate him, underestimate the Wei family's martial arts!
Even the strongest dao technique expert would find it hard to react to this move.
Boom!
At this moment of imminent peril, a pure white palm appeared in front of Hong Yi to protect him. When this palm erupted, the sound of thunder could be heard from his bones. His skin seemed to be wrapped tightly, and many green veins appeared on his arm. Blood instantly covered his entire skin, and the color of the pure white palm changed. It was so red that it was almost transparent, as if it had the texture of a blood crystal.
The shadow of the palm blocked in front of Hong Yi. With a shake of the left and right, it transformed into nine shadows that moved as fast as a torch. The nine shadows of the palm formed a chain, forming a huge palm that turned into the head of a hammer that struck out fiercely!
Instantly, this hammer energy was like an explosion in the sky. It exploded in an instant, perfectly blocking the Yinyang Purgatory's hand knife and hand sickle. It sealed off all the changes.
"Thunder of the Nine Heavens!"
Wei Liancheng's fist and this palm collided violently. Rumble!
The two silhouettes were sent flying. One of them took three steps back, while the other was sent flying ten feet away. The table that they were writing on was smashed to pieces. The ink, inkstone, and brush were all stained with it.
The one who took three steps back was Chan Yinsha, while the one who flew ten feet was Wei Liancheng.
"Divine Firmament Dao Hammer Technique, Thunder of the Nine Heavens. This move is really strong and powerful!"
Wei Liancheng fell to the ground, but he did not climb up. His face was covered in blood as he stared at Chan Yinsha. Just now, he had been struck by Chan Yinsha's palm, which had turned into a hammer. His blood had been shaken, and his mouth, eyes, ears, and nose were bleeding. He no longer had the ability to fight.
Chan Yinsha took three steps back. His face was ashen white, and his breathing was uneven. He took a few deep breaths before he recovered. He said coldly, "There is nothing special about Thunder of the Nine Heavens. In terms of strength, it is much weaker than True Astral Sect's Giant Spirit Heaven Breaking Hammer. It is also weaker than Yin Yue's Rulai Fist and Great Lightning Seal. As for you, with your Yinyang Purgatory, with your peak Xiantian strength, you were actually able to fight me, a peak Grandmaster. If this gets out, you will be famous. "
"Hehe, fame? What is the use of fame? Didn't I still lose? I even lost my life. Hong Yi, you are lucky … "Wei Liancheng looked at Hong Yi, feeling regretful that his strike had not succeeded.
Chi Zhuiyang took a step forward, and with two cracking sounds, he broke Wei Liancheng's hand bones and tendons.
At this time, Wei Liancheng displayed his unyielding spirit and didn't make a sound.
Chi Zhuiyang was very angry. Wei Liancheng had suddenly attacked just now, and he had actually been a step too slow. Moreover, he had been intimidated by the aura of Yinyang Purgatory. At the same time, he also knew that if he had intercepted Wei Liancheng just now, he definitely would not have been able to get away with it.
"Sunchaser, don't kill him!"
Hong Yi walked forward.
"Mm?" Wei Liancheng was startled as he looked at Hong Yi and chuckled, "The secrets I told you were mostly fake. The real Wu Sheng Physique that I wrote to you was mostly fake as well. It was all for the sake of ambushing you just now. Why didn't you kill me?"
"The secrets you spoke of were mostly real. Although the real Wu Sheng Physique was a bit fake, most of it was real," Hong Yi said. "If you wanted to numb me, why didn't you use the real thing? I'd be happy to numb you too! Although your ambush just now was out of my expectations, it still couldn't hurt me. I had long since been prepared, otherwise why would I have risked my life? You said that brothers don't get along, but these words can't move me either! Although Wei Taicang is my enemy, I can see that he isn't a ruthless and ambitious person, but rather a good father! Otherwise, would he have risked the world to use fire arrows to assassinate me just because Wei Lei died? If he were a ruthless and ambitious person, he wouldn't even blink an eye when his son died! This is a ruthless and ambitious person who does great things. From this, it can be seen that Wei Taicang's secret stash of fire arrows wasn't a rebellion, but rather a secret decree from the Emperor! He must have some use for it! "
"You … your thoughts are indeed meticulous, rare in this world! You're a schemer and farsighted person! "Wei Liancheng said.
"Suppress him! Lock him up. "Hong Yi waved his hand.
A few ferocious soldiers immediately took Wei Liancheng away and tidied up the deck.
"Sir, why didn't you kill him?" Hua Nongying had also jumped in fright just now.
"That's right! Sir, although those people are talented, they are difficult to subdue. We can't digest them! " Hua Nongyue said, "It's also difficult to manage on the sea right now, and we can't even afford to supply food and water."
"Sir, the only thing we can do now is to kill all of them," Mr. Zhou said.
"Since ancient times, the history books have recorded that those who kill and surrender have never had a good ending." Hong Yi said slowly, glancing at the crowd, then said, "Don't look at me. I'm not afraid of karma. Karma is a form of virtue, and we cultivators cultivate virtue. It doesn't matter if we accumulate virtue or not. Accumulating virtue and doing good is for commoners to seek an afterlife. Cultivators seek transcendence and don't seek an afterlife. They control their own reincarnation and reincarnation, so I don't care about killing and surrendering. However, even ants seek to live, so I'm not willing to kill too many. These people came to kill me, so I won't let them go. Now that I'm doing business overseas, I also buy and sell slaves. The price of a martial artist must be very high. I've packed these people on a few ships and sold them to various countries overseas. We can't digest them, but the countries overseas can! "
"That's right!"
When Hua Nongying heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Hong Yi. She didn't expect Hong Yi to have such an arrangement!
Indeed, now that the sea trade, hundreds of countries, big and small, basically had a slave system. Yun Meng made a fortune by fighting everywhere, plundering people, and then selling them.
Moreover, these people, Hong Yi couldn't digest, but if he sold them to the countries overseas, the kings and nobles, there were plenty of ways to make them submit. No matter how firm they were, it would be useless.
More importantly, the overseas slave trade was quite developed. Although an ordinary slave was not worth much, it was different if they were trained in martial arts!
A martial artist, a martial artist, could be worth a lot of money, not to mention the more than three hundred captives, all of whom were martial artists, and even Innate Stage masters!
How much could an Innate Stage master be sold for? How much could they be exchanged for? Hua Nongying couldn't imagine.
"If these people were sold one by one, how rich would young master become!" How rich would you be? "Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying looked at each other.
"So that's how it is. Young master is brilliant! Don't kill Wei Liancheng and use his life to exchange for those people's misgivings. Furthermore, they should have all been killed. If the Young Master didn't kill them and sold them, it wouldn't be considered a massacre, but it would punish them. More importantly, if he sold them separately, the nobles of the island countries would have a way to make them obedient. As for the overseas slaves, there was a set of methods to manage them, so they couldn't be wasted! If we kill them, not only will we not get anything, but we will also be committing a sin of killing. "
Mr. Zhou was deeply convinced by Hong Yi.
It was inauspicious to kill these people, but it was even more impossible to let them go. Selling them as slaves was the best choice. More importantly, the sea slave trade had become a huge industry. After the slaves were sold, they would be strictly managed. There wouldn't be any private escapes, revenge, or leaks. Especially the stronger the slave, the stricter the management.
The Peach Deity said that every year, they had to sell many slaves from Yun Meng!
"But what about food and water?" Chi Zhuiyang said.
"These are all experts, and their bodies are strong. Not eating or drinking for five to six days will only make them weak, but it won't take their lives! Moreover, I want them to be weak so that we can safely go to the Heavenly Wind Nation to trade! "
Hong Yi's eyes flashed. "There are still seven days to go to the Heavenly Wind Nation. Full speed ahead! All of you should go into seclusion and cultivate! Yinsha Girl, let's go into seclusion now to comprehend the True Wu Sheng Body and the secret of the Essence Qi Upper Embryo. I still have many questions about Taoist techniques and martial arts that I want to ask a top expert like you. "
"Comparing Wei Taicang and Hong Xuanji, I feel that Wei Taicang is a father …"
After everything was settled, the moment before Hong Yi entered secluded cultivation, for some reason, he kept thinking of comparing Wei Taicang and Hong Xuanji.
After comparing them repeatedly, Hong Yi could only let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time.
After killing two groups of enemies, the journey on the sea was finally peaceful. It was also time for Hong Yi to improve his strength. With Chan Yinsha by his side, with the guidance of this demon immortal, he would definitely improve rapidly!
…
In the cabin, there was an extremely elegant room. Ambergris was lit, and the floor was covered with an expensive snow-white carpet. When one stepped on it, they could smell the fragrance of grass. This was the fur of a rare animal called the alpaca in the Western Region. It was very valuable.
Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha sat cross-legged facing each other. On the floor, there were the Yuan Yang Pearl, Sky Shaking Bow, Boundless Arrow, Celestial Peach Sword, and other treasures. Pages of secret manuals were also placed on the floor by paperweights. They could be seen clearly.
Hong Yi wanted to study martial arts now. After all, his cultivation of Taoist techniques had reached a bottleneck, and it was not easy to break through. However, he had just entered the Xiantian Realm, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.
Looking at the True Wu Sheng Body cultivation manual, Hong Yi pondered. Just as he was about to ask Chan Yinsha, Chan Yinsha spoke.
"Hong Yi, do you want to be the Emperor?" Chan Yinsha's words shocked Hong Yi.
Hong Yi looked to his left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said to Chan Yinsha, "Yinsha Girl, why do you say that?"
"Although the Da Qian Dynasty is at peace, there are hidden dangers. There are enemies outside, and there are annexations within. The poor are getting poorer, and the rich are getting richer. In recent years, there might be war with Yun Meng and Huo Luo. If the war goes well, it will be fine. But if it fails, there will be internal and external troubles, and trouble will immediately rise! "All the Taoist sects in the world act according to the wind. If there is an uprising, they will definitely not help the Imperial Court to suppress or kill. They will only benefit in troubled times. The more chaotic the world is, the more prosperous the Taoist sects will be. The more peaceful the world is, the more desolate the Taoist sects will be. If such a day really comes, will you, Hong Yi, be tempted? Will you protect the Imperial Court, or build your own foundation? "
Chan Yinsha looked at Hong Yi, and for a moment, he showed unprecedented wisdom.
Hong Yi looked at Chan Yinsha, and his mouth opened. For a moment, he was speechless. He had not expected Chan Yinsha to have such insight. He had never thought of something like this.
"You don't have to answer me first." Chan Yinsha smiled, "However, if you have the intention, don't cultivate Taoist techniques. Just focus on martial arts. Otherwise, once you become a ghostly immortal, you won't be able to be the Emperor no matter how powerful your mystique is. Because the Taishang Dao will kill you. "
