Chapter 300: A Vast Expanse of Henan (Revised)

The appearance of this extraordinary treasure was known only to the four deans.

This treasure was calculated by Zhou Buyi and is known as the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure Image. It is definitely an extremely powerful treasure.

The fewer people there are, the fewer chances there are to share the treasure. So why did Qu Haifeng tell Shang Yanting this?

Because she was ambushed.

The story begins after taking half a pill of Yuan Chu Tai Yi Dan.

At first, she didn't know that although the Primordial Taiyi Pill was a treasure, it couldn't increase one's power, but rather enrich one's bloodline. She also possessed the bloodline of an ancient demonic beast, but it wasn't as potent.

After taking this elixir, her blood surged.

She could have safely passed the time by adjusting her internal energy and cultivating in seclusion, but she was betrayed by her husband, which caused her blood and energy to flow in reverse and damaged her foundation.

Given her current abilities, her chances of winning this mission to seize the treasure are slim. In that case, why not bring in another capable assistant?

Yan Qing

And there's his Xianlong Peak.

If he were to enter this realm, the other three peaks would also become wary of this new force.

Qu Haifeng knew very well that since he no longer had the advantage in strength, he should stir up the water as much as possible.

On the other side

For Shang Yanting, this was a windfall opportunity.

Jia Xitong looked at him, "Host, shall we go?"

I always feel that things that seem too good to be true are unreliable. "Actually, I'm a little worried that I'll end up losing more than I gain by trying to get something for nothing."

Shang Yanting was also pondering what kind of crisis might arise if he went there this time.

There are only two possibilities.

There was actually no treasure in Guangluo Yuhai. He went there and was tricked.

Or perhaps there are rare treasures in Guangluo Yuhai, but Qu Haifeng sent him there to actually use him as a vanguard and a henchman. Even if he obtains the treasures, it will be difficult for him to actually get them into his hands.

If that's the case, should we still go?

go!

After returning, Shang Yanting began preparations. First, he spread the news that he was going into seclusion. Whether Qu Haifeng believed it or not was unimportant; the important thing was to get the news to all the nearby peak masters.

Then he pulled out his human skin mask, which he had almost forgotten.

A crude humanoid puppet was erected in the bedroom. Dressed in Shang Yanting's clothes, it did indeed look somewhat similar.

After saying goodbye to Niu Chuanchuan, he picked up the raccoon and left overnight, heading straight for Tongzhou in the southeast.

This place is a vast ocean.

On the vast sea, there are a few small islands. Almost every one of these islands is inhabited by people who have made their living by fishing for generations.

Tongzhou connects to all corners of the world.

Guangluo and Yuhai are located in the east.

To avoid attracting attention and completely conceal his whereabouts and identity, Shang Yanting didn't even use a flying artifact, instead flying eastward on his sword.

Blue sky and clear water

On the open sea, more than a dozen huge ships floated. Fishermen stood on the decks, casting their nets downwards with all their might, while others were pulling up the already full nets.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Revolver fire—!"

Release the falling net!

receive--! "

The boatman's shouts echoed through the sky. Jia Xitong looked down and saw that the huge net was filled with fish that were almost as big as the people standing by the boat.

Even after being hauled onto the boat, these fish didn't give up struggling. They pounded the deck with their tails and leaped back into the sea. Once in the water, they moved extremely fast, and Jia Xitong could only see waves of white foam formed by the swaying of their tails.

At the same time, the fishermen standing guard on both sides of the boat began to act. They raised their shovels and used the bottom of the shovels to strike the big fish hard on the head.

knotted muscles

They had been tanned to a bronze color by the sun, and with each thud, the large fish died with their eyes wide open.

"Let's close the net and head back!"

At the leader's shout, one of the boats, whose decks were covered with the carcasses of large fish, turned around.

At almost the same time, the ship and they docked together.

As soon as they stepped ashore, the pungent smell of fish filled the air. Up close, Jia Xitong saw that the fishermen were shirtless, wearing short skirts that reached their thighs, and their bodies were covered in bronze-colored, muscular muscles. The shovels they held were still stained with blood and fish scales.

The fierce natives.

This assessment instantly came to Jia Xitong's mind.

"They're gone."

Shang Yanting glanced at the raccoon whose eyes were glued to the men around them, and offered a reminder, then asked seemingly casually, "Are they that good-looking?"

"fine."

Jia Xitong waved her hand, "I just feel like they could kill me with a shovel."

The raccoon, whose attention was always on some strange things, was a bit of a challenge for Shang Yanting. He paused for a moment, then said seriously, "These people are just ordinary people. You are a cultivator of the Talisman Sect. They can't kill you with a shovel, but you can scratch them to death with a claw."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong glanced at her clean hands and felt that Shang Yanting didn't need to be so serious.

This small island is the only place within a hundred miles of Guangluoyuhai that is designated as a "land of six". If I am not mistaken, the people of the four academies should also be here.

Wait, she's met all four deans and Little Raccoon!

Jia Xitong suddenly remembered this important matter, and before they even left the port, she grabbed Shang Yanting's arm and told him about it.

Humanoid!

We must use a humanoid figure!

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jia Xitong had changed her clothes. There were no luxurious ornaments, no gold or silver silks, just a set of light green outfit and a jade hairpin, which made her look particularly understated.

Standing next to a group of tanned, muscular men in short skirts, she wasn't exactly keeping a low profile.

"Let's go."

Shang Yanting took her hand, and the two walked side by side toward the island.

Everyone on the island, regardless of gender, has dark skin and a muscular build. Not to mention Jia Xitong is petite, even Shang Yanting is only a bit taller, and his muscles aren't as robust as those of the people here (←they're all hidden under his clothes).

As they entered the market, they were surrounded by people. A cacophony of voices, thick with local accents, clamored around them, accompanied by pointing and whispering, "Who are they?"

"I don't know, it just popped up out of nowhere."

"These clothes are really strange, they must be from outside."

"Stop making noise, the clan leader is here!"

As the chattering crowd parted, a path suddenly opened up, and an elderly man who looked like he was about to die was being helped closer.

Although he was the oldest, he spoke the most standard common language of the Aotian Continent, "Gentlemen, are you immortals?"

Immortal?

Shang Yanting glanced around and said to Jia Xitong, "These are all ordinary people. Also, there are no cultivators on the island."

The absence of cultivators means that the four deans are not here.

They haven't arrived yet?

Or did they go to the wrong place?

Shang Yanting frowned slightly as he was thinking when the old man suddenly grabbed his hand.

The old man shook off the people who were helping him and knelt down shakily before him and Jia Xitong. "Immortals, I have finally waited for you! The forty-seventh generation descendant of the Kuohai Clan awaits your arrival!"
