This time they did not bring anyone else with them, only him and Jian Mo. They took the coffin containing Jian Mo's mother, traveled lightly, and controlled a flying sword.
After they left, Xiaolian, the maid who had always been with Jian Mo, suddenly seemed like a different person.
The originally confused and helpless expression disappeared in an instant, becoming arrogant and indifferent.
She waved her hand and a wave of water slashed across, and General Yu and several other surviving soldiers were all cut in half to death.
Later, the king and others who had hurried over after hearing the arrival of the flying boat were also killed by Xiaolian.
She played the role of a maid here, but had suffered a lot from these mortals. Now was the perfect time to settle the cause and effect.
"Where did this Li Jiang come from?"
She looked at the direction where the Huahong sword light disappeared, and was unsure about this powerful cultivator who suddenly appeared.
The mighty man in distress was rescued by the kind-hearted princess, impressed by the girl’s precious qualities, and helped on his journey to find his relatives and seek medicine, and finally lived a happy life?
Although these things happened right in front of her eyes, they seemed reasonable.
But, isn't this something that only happens in stories?
However, if Mr. Li Jiang had other plans, how could Jian Mo have any plans in her previous miserable state? Even her "personal maid" was too lazy to protect her. When did such a strong man become so easily moved?
Could it be that a mere illegitimate daughter has such good fortune?
The maid Xiaolian jumped into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
. . . .
Three days later, Stormland.
Jiang Li came here with Gu Hei Jian Mo on a wooden flying sword.
Looking at the visible and never-ending strong wind ahead, Jiang Li stopped moving forward.
This is the storm land where Hualong Island is located.
The strong winds that connect the sky above and the sea below can easily separate human flesh and blood and destroy their souls.
There are also a large number of tornadoes that may appear at any time without any regularity.
Its level of danger is even greater than the previous Quicksand River.
It is a remote area that even the most powerful cultivators dare not even think they can cross.
This is also the reason why Hualong Island has been able to do whatever it wants.
With such natural defenses, they can defend against most of their enemies.
Jiang Li could transform into a black dragon, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to get there. But Jian Mo was a mortal, so he had to think of a way to get her there.
It is not convenient to expose the burial coffin.
The Peach-core Flying Boat cannot shrink while accommodating ordinary living creatures.
Just as I was thinking about a solution, a stream of water suddenly shot up from below.
There was a mortal on the flying sword, and if she dodged too quickly, the acceleration might cost her life.
Jiang Li could only point his finger, and the dark blue spiritual energy transformed into a wooden flying sword, which collided with the water column.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and finally exploded together in the air.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the land of storms!"
A ghostly flying boat broke through the waves from beneath the sea and emerged from the water. A flag was unfurled, fluttering in the sea breeze.
It was this flying boat that attacked them just now.
Fire first, then ask questions, this is indeed the consistent style of Hualong Island.
In the strong winds of the Storm Land, even the ships from Hualong Island could not sail freely on the sea.
But beneath the sea, there are specific waterways that are safe and fast.
However, the waterway is mysterious and changeable, and is firmly controlled by the monks of Hualong Island, so it is extremely difficult for outsiders to pass through.
"Mr. Li Jiang, this is something my mother gave me before I went out to sea. It should have been left by my biological father."
Gu Hei Jianmo was also surprised when he saw the big ship suddenly appear below.
He quickly opened his collar and pulled out a pendant.
It was a white shell strung together with a red rope, and it looked no different from the ordinary shells on the beach.
Jiang Li took the shell and input spiritual energy into it.
A ray of light immediately emerged from the shell and projected into the air, forming a pattern, which was the logo of Hualong Island.
Sure enough, this was the token left behind by Gu Heitianchou.
"The person coming is the daughter of the ancient black dragon leader of Hualong Island! Your young master has returned, why don't you hurry to welcome him!"
The Hualong Island ships below also stopped attacking after seeing the pattern in the sky.
They did not doubt the truth of what the visitor said, because this was not the first time, and they were already used to it.
When there are fewer, there is one every few years; when there are more, there are several every year. As the number of these illegitimate sons and daughters increases, they become worthless.
Compared with other cultivator systems, the biggest advantage of Hualong Island's inheritance is that it inherits the characteristics of the dragon clan: thieves can give birth.
Dragons can even communicate across species easily and can basically reproduce offspring with anyone.
Unlike other cultivators, the stronger they are, the harder it is to reproduce.
There has never been a shortage of offspring among the monks on Hualong Island.
Before passing the trial, it is not certain whether the children of these dragon masters can become young masters.
"Let's inform the captain first. The new Captain Shashawei is not an easy person to talk to."
The pirates on the ship passed the message up and soon received instructions to take the people in first.
Jiang Li and the other man landed on the deck. The pirates looked nonchalant and showed no respect at all.
The ship began to sink, and a thin film of light blocked the sea water out.
Even after sinking a hundred meters underwater, a mortal like Jian Mo did not feel any discomfort.
Jiang Li looked at the sea ahead and found that the underwater environment was not as safe as he had imagined.
Various intersecting turbulent currents interweave and flow among the hard reefs, making the flow extremely complex.
Once caught in the current, the ship will be caught by the disordered ocean current and then hit the underwater reef, causing the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
Finding a safe route is not easy.
At this moment, a ray of light shone from the boat, and then several reefs in the water directly in front of the ship began to glow.
The faintly emanating force controlled the undercurrent to change, forming a long and narrow horizontal waterspout.
This waterspout is very stable, and it blocks the invasion of other undercurrents, forming a smooth and safe channel.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up. It turned out that this kind of thing could be done with the help of formations.
The power of the earth veins in the sea is weak, but he can still see a faint spiritual light flowing on some other reefs.
Hualong Island also used clever means to set up backdoors on these reefs.
Even if there are top navigation masters who have figured out the specific direction of these underwater undercurrents, as long as Hualong Island exerts a slight influence, the currents can be completely out of control.
At that time, it would be like you have entered a large meat grinder.
He could try to learn this method.
Looking at the wind wall only a few hundred feet behind, and then looking at the sea next to the ship, even the waves had disappeared inside the wind wall.
Who would have thought that the interior of Stormland would be so calm and sunny.
In front of them, a huge island appeared before everyone.
"So... is that Hualong Island?"
Gu Hei Jianmo was so shocked that he almost lost his voice. Even Jiang Li was amazed at the scene in front of him.
Under the sunlight, the entire island emits a brilliant golden light.
That was not an illusion caused by the refraction of light, but real golden treasure.
Before Hualong Island became a place for cultivating immortals, it was a gathering place for a large number of pirates, and the accumulated treasures were simply innumerable.
After the revival of spiritual energy, Hualong Island unified all the pirates, and these worldly treasures were also gathered together.
But at this point, no one cares about this dirt anymore.

The first dragon chief of Hualong Island ordered the ground to be paved with gold, making the island look magnificent.
But this is not the reason why Jiang Li was surprised.
What surprised him was that on the highest peak in the center of the island, there was a skull as huge as a mountain.
The size of the skull is twice as big as that of the Windbreak Giant, the honorary elder of the Chongshan League. It is shocking just by looking at it.
Looking at the looks in the two men's eyes, the cultivator from Hualong Island showed disdain.
"Humph, that is the head of the King of the East Sea Giants. Now it is the palace of Lord Dragon Head."
Sea giants are one of the most powerful species among the existing sea creatures. It is unexpected that the king among them would have his head cut off and hung here as a trophy.
The strength of the giants should be positively correlated with their size.
Jiang Li once faced a two-headed sea giant. The talent of the sea giant race was not as good as that of the Fengfeng clan.
But to be able to reach such a size, his strength is probably even greater than that of the one in Dachongshan.
As the distance got closer, one could clearly feel the strong pressure emanating from the sea giant's skull.
This deceased king had most likely surpassed that level.
Being able to kill such a sea giant, it seems that the strength of Gu Heitianchou is definitely not weak even among the earthly immortals.
Jiang Li really needs to deal with this carefully.
If I really meet that person in his home court, I will definitely not be able to beat him, and how to escape will be a big problem.
When the ship docked, there was no warm welcome ceremony. Only a hunchbacked old woman was waiting for them.
Being ignored like this was exactly what Jiang Li wanted.
"This must be Miss Jian Mo, please follow me."
Receiving such poor treatment, Jiang Li could clearly see a look of disappointment on Jian Mo's face.
Although this background brought her twenty years of suffering, the pirate was also the culprit who caused his mother's life of misery.
But when this person has tremendous power, can pave mountains with gold, and command countless powerful monks.
Although she was still just a mortal, Gu Hei Jianmo could not help but have some expectations. She had even imagined the scene of the father and daughter recognizing each other countless times in her mind.
Now that expectations have not been met, it is natural to feel a little disappointed.
"Miss Jian Mo, please stay in the west wing of this courtyard for now. Mr. Follower can stay in the guest house at the back."
"Servants will bring all the food and drinks. Please don't wander around. Many adults on the island have bad tempers. It would be bad if you get hurt."
After the old woman brought the person here, she gave him some instructions and turned to leave.
The last sentence reminded them not to become arrogant just because they were descendants of the Dragon. They had already come here, and it would be a pity if they died at the hands of some drunken pirate.
"Please wait a moment, Grandma. I want to see the Ancient Black Dragon. My mother is running out of time. I just want the medicine to save her life!"
"As long as we can save mother and wake her up, we will leave immediately!"
Jian Mo became anxious, and hurried forward to grab the old woman, calling her the ancient black dragon head.
Her mother has been dead for three days now. The longer it waits, the more difficult it will be to save her.
But the situation on Hualong Island was not what she had imagined.
"Miss, don't worry. Young Master Zhuohou will receive you tomorrow, and that master will arrange a trial for you."
"As long as you pass the trial and become the young master, you can take any elixirs on the island."
The old woman patted the back of Jian Mo's hand, kindly told her to be at ease, then said no more and hobbled away.
From the old woman's words, Jian Mo also understood that she was not yet a recognized young master, and would only be able to obtain the rights of a young master after passing a certain trial.
Jiang Li had known about this for a long time, but Jian Mo was obviously not mentally prepared.
Trial? She was a mortal who could barely kill a chicken, how could she pass a trial?
"Hey, what a fate, I didn't expect another brother or sister to come today."
As soon as the old woman left, the doors of the main house and the east wing in the courtyard were pushed open from the inside.
Apparently someone heard their conversation.
Two young people, a man and a woman, walked out of the east wing, while a big man who looked to be in his fifties walked out of the main room.
It was the big man who spoke.
From what he said, they were arranged in the same courtyard. So, they were most likely Gu Heitianchou's illegitimate children.
The young man and woman looked very similar, and it seemed that they were actually twins, a boy and a girl.
And that big man seemed to be a bit older. Judging from his appearance, he might even be older than his biological father.
But considering Gu Heitianchou's age, it is possible that his offspring could be a thousand years older than him.
What was more special was that Jiang Li felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy from the big man, probably at the level of Xudan.
No wonder he looks so arrogant, among his several descendants, this big man's strength is already considered pretty good.
The children of powerful earthly immortals can't be too bad no matter how talented their spiritual roots are.
This person is over fifty years old and has only reached the Xudan level of cultivation. It is probably due to the lack of resources for cultivation.
"My dear sister, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Tomorrow we will have the inheritance trial. If the four of us brothers and sisters work together, we will surely win the battle."
"Don't worry, I have the power of Void Pill, and I will be able to protect my two sisters."
He approached Jian Mo and looked her up and down with eyes that clearly had no good intentions.
. . . .
Thousands of miles away from here is the frontline stronghold of the Chongshan League, the Machinery City.
Jiang Li's sword-cultivating clone came out from his retreat, passed through a secret passage known only to the stubborn stone hermit, and arrived at a newly opened underground saltwater lake.
A small tribe of mermaids lives here.
Seeing the person coming, a mermaid with a crown on its head surfaced and swam in front of the clone.
"So, Muir, do you know the current situation of the sea giants?"
