People in the corner intentionally made a loud noise. Ye Ju could not pretend not to see it.
"Xiaobai, go untie her," Ye Ju ordered Xiaobai, then walked towards another area. Except for a few rooms, there were no suspicious items inside. She retreated and met up with Xiaobai again.
The person rescued was a woman, a woman as beautiful as a celestial being, with skin as white as snow. She was now throwing a tantrum at Xiaobai.
"How dare you! You clearly saw me just now, why didn't you untie me first?" the woman haughtily questioned Xiaobai. She thought it was people sent by her imperial father who had rescued her.
"I want to get treasures first!" Xiaobai said with a bewildered expression. Seeing Ye Ju arrive, she immediately grabbed Ye Ju, preparing to leave.
The woman yelled at Xiaobai. Ye Ju had already arrived and glanced at her coldly. Was she crazy?
The woman was startled by Ye Ju's gaze, but then she began to speak irrationally again. Fearing that Ye Ju might attract the black-clothed men, she threatened her: if she continued to scold, she would be tied up again. Only then did the woman shut up in fear. She also knew that it was not appropriate to make noise.
"Wait, where are you going?" the girl asked urgently.
Ye Ju didn't want to bother with her. She guessed she was a young lady or princess from some important family, judging by her luxurious attire. Although she didn't know what kind of fabric it was, it hadn't gotten dirty after being dragged on the ground for so long, which showed how precious the clothes were. Ye Ju had learned when buying clothes that there was a type of fabric made from mermaid silk, which was impervious to water and fire, and could remain dust-free! It was too expensive, and Ye Ju had been reluctant to buy it at the time.
This woman was clearly an arrogant young lady who had never experienced the harshness of society. Ye Ju had learned from bitter experience and did not want to cause trouble.
As soon as she got out of the cabin, she told Xiaobai to turn invisible and fly to the opposite ship. The woman, however, chased out of the cabin but couldn't see Ye Ju and Xiaobai. Seeing the situation on the opposite ship, she was so frightened that she quickly hid herself...
The large ship had three decks, and Ye Ju and Xiaobai hid on the roof. The invisibility technique of the Nine-tailed Fox could not be detected by cultivators below the Soul Transformation stage. On the bow of the ship, black-clothed men were confronting three cultivators. The three cultivators were all at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage and were already injured, desperately guarding the entrance to the cabin. The black-clothed men had also lost some men, their cultivation levels were all at the middle stage of the Golden Core, and the leading man was at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core. Even an ant can bite an elephant to death. The people on the large ship, despite their higher cultivation, were fewer in number, and a crushing defeat was only a matter of time.
"Who are you? How dare you rob a ship of the Canglan Immortal Sect, what audacity!" one of the three cultivators, who had a higher cultivation and wore a green long robe with a black and gold belt at his waist, asked angrily.
"Hahaha, what is there to be afraid of? Canglan Immortal Sect? Never heard of it. I only know that whatever my Yan Tian Imperial Beast Sect wants, we will seize!" the black-clothed man said arrogantly. The dim light made it impossible to see the black-clothed man's face clearly.
"Hand over the spiritual beast on your ship, the White Cang Wolf, and we will spare your lives!" another black-clothed man followed up.
Seeing the corpses all over the ground, the green-robed man was extremely enraged. They had killed so many sect disciples just to snatch the Cang Wolf. If they handed over the spiritual beast, wouldn't they hunt them down to the last person? Moreover, who had spread the news that the young lady had obtained a spiritual beast in the Misty Forest? They had not stopped all the way and had directly boarded the sect's ship. Pursued relentlessly by these people, they had rushed into this deep sea no-man's-land without a clear course.
People on the Tian Chen Continent knew the legends of this deep sea no-man's-land. The green-robed man now hoped that this mysterious power could protect his ship. Before setting out, he had cast a divination for this trip, which predicted a minor mishap but no major danger! He had never even heard of this Yan Tian Imperial Beast Sect, unless they were from another continent. But how did they get here? Had the barrier broken?
"You are shameless! The Tian Chen Continent has never heard of your sect. Are you from another continent? The Tian Qi Continent? Did you break the barrier?" The green-robed man thought of something and asked in shock. He remembered the prophecy of his sect: when the barrier between the two continents broke one day, the world would be in chaos. The Tian Qi Continent was also called the Tian Xing Continent. The reason why this happened was already beyond recall! He was a diviner of his sect, so he knew the prophecy:
The barrier breaks, the stars align, the goddess appears, demons arise!
And now these people appeared on the Tian Chen Continent.
So close, Ye Ju dared not unleash her divine sense for fear of being discovered. But after hearing their conversation, she felt that this Yan Tian something sect was not a good group. They would snatch other people's spiritual beasts for no reason. If they were allied with the people who snatched Xiaobai, it would make sense. The ship that snatched Xiaobai also held many demonic beasts and spiritual beasts. So these people were enemies of hers. Moreover, the spiritual wine on the island was brewed, and she planned to cooperate with Shopkeeper Zhu to sell spiritual wine. She had been thinking about contacting him these past few days. She needed to get rid of these people as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they met again, the risk of the island being exposed would be even greater.
It was the latter half of the night, and the sky was the darkest before dawn. Only the lights from these two ships were visible.
Xiaobai secretly told Ye Ju that there was indeed a ten-month-old wolf cub on the ship, held by a ten-year-old girl. Both the person and the beast were terrified...
Divine beasts were sensitive to the aura of their own kind. Ye Ju was not sure how Xiaobai contacted the little wolf. Since this was the case, these people, being from the same sect, must have done many such things. Ye Ju hesitated no longer, summoned her 御守 (Yùshǒu - Guardian Artifact). It was more convenient to use a club for knocking people out.
She told Xiaobai to turn invisible and fly behind the black-clothed men. She quickly struck each of them with a club. Only a dozen muffled groans were heard, and the dozen black-clothed men fell unconscious.
The green-robed man and his two companions on the opposite side were wide-eyed with shock. Without seeing any object or person, the black-clothed men were subdued. It seemed they were knocked out with a single blow. If it were a cultivator of their level, such concealment of their presence would leave no trace. Their cultivation must be at least at the Soul Transformation stage or above. They immediately bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, senior, for resolving the crisis. May we ask you to reveal yourself?" the green-robed man said loudly and respectfully.
After a long while, only the whistling sea breeze and the sound of waves could be heard...
In the dim sea in the distance, it seemed as if their ship would be swallowed at any moment. Looking at the corpses lying all over the deck, the three of them, despite being cultivators, broke out in a cold sweat at the bizarre scene.
The green-robed man did not know if the distinguished senior had left. He spoke loudly again: "I am Tian Ji of the Canglan Immortal Sect. I thank the senior for saving my life. If we have the fortune to meet again in the future, I will repay this kindness!" After speaking, he instructed the other two https:/
They quickly tied up all the unconscious black-clothed men, used the sect's secret technique for dealing with traitors to temporarily disable their spiritual power, and planned to take them back to the sect for thorough questioning. The mysterious power of the no-man's-land did not allow ships to stay for long; previously, they were not even allowed to pass through. The green-robed man instructed the other two to guard the ship, while he went to inspect the smaller boat.
After a quarter of an hour, he carried a woman back to the ship. With a wave of his sleeve, he put the small boat into his spiritual ring and ordered them to quickly activate the formation and set sail immediately, not to linger.
Ye Ju watched them leave until they were far away, making sure they did not stop. Then she planned to go back. Fortunately, they were sensible, otherwise, she would have had to knock everyone unconscious. It was really difficult for 御守 (Yùshǒu) in the past. Before meeting her, it was no wonder it almost ran out of spiritual power. No one could withstand working like this...
