An endless stream of mental energy entered Ding Ning's mind to replenish the consumption of his spirit. Like moths flying into a flame, it advanced wave after wave and burned fiercely.
Only with this did he manage to maintain a delicate balance with the burning speed of the Fire of the Underworld. If this was on land, Ding Ning's spirit would have been burned to death long ago.
Luoxue sat on a rock by the sea and hugged her knees. She stared blankly at the frozen sea and did not move. She hoped that Ding Ning would suddenly jump out of the sea and rub her head with a smile.
She had maintained this position for two days and two nights, like a rock gazing at her husband. Although Ding Ning's spiritual imprint in her mind had become very dim and showed signs of extinguishing at any moment, she believed that he would definitely return safely.
After all, the Air Force Wings were not very intelligent. They were only equivalent to seven or eight years old children. They did not realize their master's danger at all and were still thoughtlessly flying over the deserted island.
They did not like the temperature of the frozen sea and carefreely circled to the other side of the deserted island to search for food.
A dozen nautical miles to the east of the deserted island, a luxurious yacht was cruising aimlessly on the sea.
On the yacht, the twenty-odd bikini-clad beauties, the owner of the yacht, and his friends did not enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and sky as usual. Instead, they trembled and squatted on the ground. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the white-haired strange man standing on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea and sky, and the young man standing respectfully behind him.
The white-haired strange man was a strange man because his age looked very vague. It was fine to say he was seventy or eighty years old, but people would also believe it if they said he was in his early twenties.
He had white eyebrows, white hair, and a stooped figure. He looked like an old man with one foot in the grave, but there was not a single wrinkle on his smooth and clean face. His skin was as red as a baby's, just like the ruddy face in the legends.
If that was all, it would not have mattered. He also had long hair and wore a traditional robe. If it were not for the fact that the young man next to him had silently beaten the bodyguards of the owner of the yacht to the ground and intimidated everyone, everyone would have thought he was an actor from a film base who had not had time to remove his makeup.
The young man behind him looked quite normal. He was also wearing normal clothes, but his face was like that of a dead person. There was not a trace of human expression, especially his lips, which were as red as blood. He looked particularly strange.
Those who could afford to buy a yacht and go out to sea with bikini beauties were all influential figures in Ninghai. The owner of this yacht, Gao Shengqing, was no exception. He was the successor of the listed Gao Group. Even if he could not be ranked among the top young masters in Ninghai, he was only a little bit away from it.
With the wealth and status of the Gao Corporation, even a top young master would not easily offend him. However, this strange white-haired man had not looked him in the eye since he had boarded the ship.
More than a dozen bodyguards had been knocked down. Young Master Gao felt that he had lost face. He braced himself and revealed his identity, wanting the strange white-haired man to consider the consequences. However, in return, the expressionless young man slapped him mercilessly. He could only obediently cover his face and squat in the crowd. He muttered resentfully in his heart that he would call the police to arrest these two arrogant fellows and lock them up until the end of time.
Yes, this yacht had been hijacked. Other than a few people who were driving the yacht, everyone else was gathered on the deck and squatted down. They were not allowed to move or speak.
Fortunately, they did not kill anyone. Even the bodyguards only had their arms and legs broken and had lost the ability to resist. This made the few young masters and bikini beauties feel a little more relaxed.
When the yacht was about to approach the deserted island, the staff member who was driving the yacht had a terrified expression on his face. He respectfully reported, "This … sir, we can't go any further. Ghost Island is in front."
"Ghost Island?" The expressionless young man raised his eyebrows, as if he did not understand what Ghost Island meant.
The staff member vividly described the horrors of Ghost Island. This caused the expressionless young man's expression to change for the first time. He looked at the strange white-haired man inquiringly.
Unexpectedly, as a chill hit him, the strange white-haired man's calm face revealed a look of surprise. "It's here. There's no mistake. Drive over."
"But this is a ghost …"
The staff member's face was full of fear. Before he could finish speaking, the expressionless young man slapped him across the face. "I told you to drive, so drive. What's with all this nonsense?"
"Yes, sir!"
The staff member nodded and bowed as he continued to drive with a bitter expression. However, he was secretly praying that there would not be any more white fog.
"Master, was this the place where the treasure appeared two days ago?"
The expressionless young man would only show a hint of respect when he faced the strange white-haired man.
"That's right. Look at the sea in front. It's actually frozen in this season. The treasure must be here. If I'm not wrong, this treasure must be an ice spirit treasure. Although it's useless to me and my disciple, as long as we get it, we can completely exchange it for the blood crystals we need from that old thing, Ice Demon."
The strange white-haired man looked at the frozen sea in front of him with a fanatical look in his eyes.
"Blood crystals. With blood crystals, I have hope of breaking through to the Earth Martial Arts Realm within a year!" The expressionless young man stuck out his tongue and greedily licked his blood-red lips. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Coincidentally, in another direction not far from the deserted island, three fishing boats also came towards the deserted island at the same time. At the same time, they gave the boatmen an undeniable order to approach the deserted island.
They were all Ancient Warriors not far from Ninghai. When Ding Ning cut off the demon-sealing chain, the beam of light that shot into the sky had alarmed them, causing them to mistakenly believe that a spirit treasure had appeared. They all rushed to this part of the sea to search for it, wanting to obtain it.
This was the first batch of people who had sensed the abnormality of the sea and come to investigate. There were even more Ancient Warriors patrolling the nearby sea to search for the location of the spirit treasure's appearance. From this, it could be seen how attractive the spirit treasure was to Ancient Warriors.
The strange white-haired man and the expressionless young man were the first to land on the island. They were a thousand meters away from the deserted island and the cruise ship could not approach. They had no choice but to abandon the ship and step onto the island on the ice.
However, they would not allow the ship to leave. After all, they still had to take the ship back. Thus, everyone on the ship had been poisoned by the strange white-haired man. The poison would only take effect in three days. If they dared to escape, they would undoubtedly die.
For the sake of their lives, Gao Shengqing and the others could only obediently wait on the ship no matter how unwilling they were.
However, they did not know that the strange white-haired man and his disciple did not intend to leave anyone alive in order to prevent the news of them obtaining the spirit treasure from leaking and causing trouble. In three days, they would die.
"Oh, there's actually someone who got here before us."
The strange white-haired man quickly searched the island with the expressionless young man. Very quickly, he saw Luoxue hugging her knees and staring blankly at the sea. He could not help but frown slightly.
The expressionless young man looked at Luoxue's graceful figure and licked his lips with his bright red tongue. A greedy look appeared in his eyes. "Master, she seems to be a normal person and not an Ancient Warrior. Should I capture her and interrogate her?"
"Wait, there is no one on this deserted island and there are no ships around. This woman is actually alone on the island. This is very unusual. It's better to investigate her first."
The strange white-haired man was naturally suspicious. He extended a hand to stop the expressionless young man and spoke in an experienced and prudent manner.
"Even if she's an Ancient Warrior, a girl in her early twenties is no match for us. Isn't Master being too cautious?"
The expressionless young man said disapprovingly.
"What do you know? So what if she's a girl in her early twenties? Isn't the Empress of the Night also in her twenties? She's already a celestial spiritual master. How many times have I told you that you must be very, very careful. If you encounter the Empress of the Night, both of us will die here. "
The strange white-haired man lectured him angrily. "I asked you to come to Ninghai to do something, but you actually killed six women and alerted the Seventeenth Bureau. If I hadn't come in time, you would have been caught by them."
"How many Empresses of the Night are there in this world? How can there be such a coincidence?"
The expressionless young man said unhappily. "Also, I killed those six women with a blood fang and turned them into dried corpses. Even now, the Seventeenth Bureau still thinks it was done by vampires from the West. Even if Master hadn't come, those idiots wouldn't have been able to catch me. It's just a pity that there aren't many virgins in such a large city like Ninghai. How depressing."
"You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. There are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Seventeenth Bureau. There are some experts that even I have to be wary of. You're just in the Xuan Wu Realm and you dare to commit crimes in such a large city like Ninghai. You really don't know what's good for you."
The strange white-haired man was extremely annoyed and his tone also became stern.
The expressionless young man opened his mouth and wanted to argue but when he saw the strange white-haired man's ugly expression, he obediently closed his mouth and did not dare to say anything more. However, he still did not think much of it in his heart. He felt that the martial artists of the secular world could not withstand a single blow and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Alright, less nonsense. First, go ask that girl why she's here. We'll talk after we understand the situation."
The strange white-haired man impatiently waved his hand and ordered.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you here? "
The expressionless young man excitedly rushed to Luoxue's side. After discovering that Luoxue was not a virgin, his interest immediately waned and he shouted condescendingly.
The strange white-haired man listened from afar and a flash of anger flashed through his eyes. This disciple of his was extremely talented and his cultivation progressed at a rapid pace. At such a young age, he had already reached the Xuan Wu Realm. In the ancient martial world, he was considered quite good.
Coupled with the fact that he had never suffered a loss since his debut, this caused his mentality to be extremely unstable and inflated. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on everyone. If this continued, sooner or later, he would cause great trouble.
All of Luoxue's attention was on Ding Ning at the bottom of the sea. How could she listen to the expressionless young man's question? Her eyes did not even move as she stared straight at the surface of the sea.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me? F * ck, are you deaf?"
The expressionless young man saw that Luoxue was ignoring him and immediately became angry. He shouted angrily.
"Shut up!"
The strange white-haired man could no longer keep his cool and shouted as he quickly walked over.
He had always felt that a girl who dared to stay alone on this deserted island was not an ordinary person. Now that he saw that she was ignoring the expressionless young man, he was even more shocked and uncertain. He was afraid that she was fearless and did not dare to let this troublesome disciple of his offend her.
"Hello, miss. I am Ouyang Tang and this is my disciple, Yun Yi. He is a straightforward person but does not have any ill intentions. Please do not blame him for his rudeness earlier. I apologize here."
The strange white-haired man glared at Yun Yi and, following the rules of the martial world, bowed to Luoxue.
Yun Yi rolled his eyes and felt that his master was a bit too cautious. On this deserted island, what threat could a girl in her early twenties be?
Luoxue did not have the time to pay attention to Yun Yi and naturally did not have the time to pay attention to the strange white-haired man. She continued to stare straight at the surface of the sea as if she had not heard anything.
"Miss, miss, may I ask why you are here?"
Ouyang Tang's expression was a bit unhappy but he suppressed his temper. He had to find out more about Luoxue first. If she really did not have a powerful background, he would definitely make this girl pay a painful price for ignoring him.
"Is this woman deaf?"
