Chapter 276
Under the gaze of the crowd, the huge ship slowly approached with the sound of the whistle and stopped on the sea surface dozens of meters away from the barrier.
The sea water surged violently, wave after wave hitting the barrier, as if hitting everyone's chest.
The towering ship was more than ten meters higher than the barrier. It was parked a hundred meters away, but it was still more majestic than the giant beasts in the sea, shocking the hearts of every witness.
The giant ship slowly turned, perfectly displaying its 300-meter-long hull.
As the chains fell into the sea, the huge ship stopped steadily in place. At the same time, two figures wearing black cloaks flew up from the ship and landed on the platform where Zhan Xiong and the others were under the gaze of everyone.
The two cloaked men both wore masks on their faces, one silver and one black, full of technology, looking mysterious and noble.
Zhan Xiong quickly ordered his men to kneel down.
He had seen descriptions of the two gods' messengers in the forum, so he recognized their identities.
"Greetings, Lord Yin Guang! Lord Wu Yue!"
The dozen or so fishermen on the platform all knelt on the ground and imitated Zhan Xiong in shouting loudly.
Tang Yu'an endured the embarrassment of digging her toes into the ground, steadied her voice, and whispered, "Everyone, get up."
A gentle and peaceful young man's voice sounded from under the mask, immediately calming everyone's anxiety. They raised their heads and stared blankly at the two legendary messengers of God.
No one else dared to move. Zhan Xiong looked around and stood up carefully.
"Lord Yin Guang..."
Thinking of his previous bad attitude towards the Lord Messenger of God, Zhan Xiong wanted to slap himself twice. He was about to apologize for his rudeness when they first met, but Yin Guang raised his hand to stop him.
"The living environment in Zitian Fort is harsh and not suitable for human habitation, so the Shangshen Cult plans to take a group of believers away and move to land."
He asked softly, "How many people are willing to leave?"
"Sir, I've found all the 500 people you asked me to find!" Zhan Xiong said quickly, "They're all waiting in the village."
Tang Yu'an nodded and said, "Gather the people and organize them to board the ship."
Then, he turned slightly to look at the huge ship and raised his hand towards it.
Zhou Qi next to him cooperated with him. His fingers hidden under the cloak pressed the remote control switch, and a beam of light was projected from the giant ship.
This beam of light was particularly conspicuous in the yellow-green mist. It fell on the platform and formed a circular aperture with a diameter of more than one meter.
Tang Yu'an retracted his hand and said, "Stand in the light circle and you will be transported to the ship."
Zhan Xiong was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Can I try it first?"
"Dad, let me do it!"
Zhan Xiaotian got up from the ground and volunteered.
He was also on the entourage list this time, and Zhan Xiong decided to stay and develop more believers for the Shangshen Sect.
Originally, Zhan Xiaotian was reluctant to leave his father, but was later persuaded by Zhan Xiong.
On the one hand, he had a broken arm and could not help much if he stayed in Zitian Castle. On the other hand, the 500 people who left also needed a leader.
Although he was very young and would definitely not be able to convince others if he went out to sea to fish, it would be different if he left with the Shangshen Sect.
After all, they were sailing on the sea. Even if a ship did arrive, who knew where the Merchant God Church would send them? Who could just give up their lives like that?
Zhan Xiong sending Zhan Xiaotian to follow him was a strong guarantee.
This proved that Zhan Xiong was not deceiving them. He really believed that the Shangshen Church had sent them to the land safely, so he sent his own son out as well.
Of course, this matter still requires taking huge risks.
But then again, who on the fishing team doesn't hang their heads on the line every day? They're going to die anyway, so why not give it a try?
This is why Zhan Xiong was able to gather five hundred people within a few days.
And at this moment, his son did stand up as he expected.
Unlike others who were worried, Zhan Xiong knew that everything about Shangshen Sect was true and that it was a very powerful organization.
Regardless of whether the power they displayed really came from the God of Commerce, he was willing to worship them as gods.
As long as this organization is willing to save them and lead them out of this fatal predicament!
"Xiaotian, go!" Zhan Xiong said.
Zhan Xiaotian took a deep breath, then took a step forward and stepped into the circle of light.
Before he could stand firmly, the moment he was completely bathed in the beam of light, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Everyone was in an uproar and looked at the huge ship in the distance.
"Dad—I really came up!"
Zhan Xiaotian stood on the deck, waving his arms vigorously and shouting loudly.
"How am I supposed to get back—"
He stood on the teleportation platform again, but was not teleported back.
Zhan Xiong watched him gesture and quickly understood what he meant. He couldn't help but look at the two gods' messengers.
Wu Yue, who had been silent the entire time, spoke calmly, "The channel can only be used for one-way transmission each time it's opened. Organize the others to board the ship. We need to leave before dark."
“Okay, okay!”
This was the first time Zhan Xiong met Wu Yue. He had also learned about him on the forum. He seemed rather aloof, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
Just as he was about to organize people, he heard Yin Guang's voice again: "Are you going to leave with me this time?"
Zhan Xiong immediately responded, "Lord Yin Guang, can I stay? There are still many people in Zitian Castle. I, I hope to bring them back to the land in the future..."
Tang Yu'an nodded. It would be best if Zhan Xiong could stay voluntarily.
They were planning to transfer people to land, but that didn't mean they were going to give up Zitian Castle.
This island has huge potential. It is very troublesome to deal with the mutated jellyfish, but if used well, it may become a new specialty.
So they still need staff stationed here.
"You're pretty good."
Hearing Yin Guang's praise, Zhan Xiong's face flushed with excitement. He said awkwardly, "Thank you, sir!"
Then, Yin Guang nodded, and the clear voice continued: "Let others take care of the organization of the ship. You come with me."
Zhan Xiong quickly handed over the relevant matters to Hai Qian, and then returned to Yin Guang and Wu Yue.
"Sir, everything is arranged!"
Yin Guang hummed, and a hand wearing a snow-white velvet glove stretched out from under the cloak and held his arm.
"Let's go."
The next moment, Zhan Xiong felt himself taking off.
He was a big man of 1.8 meters in height, but he was picked up by Yin Guang with one hand like a chicken.
When he saw his feet dangling in the air and dozens of meters above the ground, even Zhan Xiong, who had faced countless life-and-death battles, subconsciously let out a cry of "Ah!"
Fortunately, he quickly realized his current situation and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands.
Their figures flew farther and farther away.
The dozens of fishermen standing on the platform and those who arrived later all swallowed their saliva when they saw this scene.
They didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly climbed down the platform to call for help.
Finally I can leave the fortress and go to the land!
"Did you hear clearly what the fishing team over there is shouting?" The captain of the city guard on another platform put down the telescope and asked the people around him.
"It seems to be... Shangshen Sect?"
"Those two cloaked men seem very powerful..."
The captain of the city guard nodded solemnly, "Which fishing crew are they from? How did they get in touch with the outside world?"
"They are the village that recently refused to hand over their catch..."
The guard nearby looked at the huge ship on the sea and said, "Captain, should we send someone over to take a look? That huge ship... seems to be here to take people away?"
Speaking of this, not only the guard, but everyone else looked at the huge ship with envy and fascination in their eyes in addition to curiosity and shock.
Is it really possible to leave Zitian Castle?
The captain of the city guard pondered for a moment, but did not take any action that might cause misunderstanding. He ordered, "All fishing boats should stay away from that ship!"
"Go find Elder Yu and have him take people to negotiate first!"
He had heard before that a fishing team was controlled by a new church, but he had dismissed it at the time. However, now...
Looking at the huge ship, hope rose in the heart of the city guard captain.
Can they avoid the fate of being drowned by the sea?
If possible, that God...it seems like it would be okay to believe in him?

On the other side, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi brought Zhan Xiong and landed in front of the Zi Tian Grocery Store.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Zhan Xiong's legs almost gave out.
Tang Yu'an pushed him onto a chair to prevent him from falling, and then looked towards the Zi Tian Grocery Store.
According to the map, the area of Zi Tian Grocery Store has expanded from the original small room to the entire fishing village and all the surrounding land.
Tang Yu'an, who had originally unlocked two all-weather functions and was preparing to spend the store's energy to continue upgrading the protective barrier, couldn't help but tilt his head when he looked at the somewhat exaggerated area of the Zi Tian Grocery Store.
Why does he feel something is wrong...
Following the inspiration that suddenly emerged in his mind, Tang Yu'an adjusted the range of the protective barrier on the 3D map.
Soon, as he clicked to confirm, the protective barrier expanded from the basement to the two surrounding rooms.
He didn't spend any points or store popularity, but the protective barrier actually expanded outward!
Tang Yuan: 0.0
What was going on? He quickly sent a private message to Zhou Qi and started discussing it with him.
[Liangzai Zhou: Perhaps it's because the people of this village handed over their houses and land to the Shangshen Cult, meaning they gave them to you?]
After all, according to previous observations, the entire fishing village is protected by the aura of "keep away the bad guests".
The rule for determining the bad customer drive away halo is: no one who has bad intentions towards you can enter your store.
It is obvious that the entire fishing village has been included in the scope of the "shop". Since it is within the scope of the "shop", it can naturally be protected by the protective barrier!
Dongtu Datang: So, because we didn't actually own the land before, we needed to use a wall to enclose it?
[Liangzai Zhou: I guess so]
Every time you build a branch, you need to own the building or the building is ownerless.
They built houses and walls on unowned land, which meant they occupied the land.
[Dongtu Datang: If I claim a piece of unowned land as mine, can I obtain ownership?]
If you could, there would be no need to build walls or spend points and store popularity!
Zhou Qi thought it was unlikely, but he still replied: [Go back and give it a try.]
【Dongtu Datang: Good^^】
Tang Yu'an continued to operate on the 3D map. Because it was daytime, the expanded protective barrier would not block out the customers.
He chose to cover the entire "shop" with a protective barrier.
When he pressed confirm, the transparent barrier expanded silently, covering all the land of the fishing village.
The protective barrier was invisible, but when it appeared, the people within it noticed it instantly, because—
The yellow-green gas that was lightly permeating the air and that they had been living with for many years was all repelled by the protective barrier!
Apparently, the poison gas was also identified as a destructive natural disaster by the protective barrier.
Zhan Xiong took a deep breath and felt that he had never breathed such fresh air!
What just happened?
He looked at the two messengers, wanting to ask but not daring to speak.
Tang Yu'an was very happy because he found a way to expand the protective barrier without the need for points, store popularity, or even a wall.
He looked at Zhan Xiong and found him more and more pleasing to the eye, so he explained to him: "I just opened the protective barrier for the fishing village."
"As long as you stay within the barrier, you don't have to worry about mutant creatures or natural disasters. At night, anyone without permission will be escorted out by the protective barrier."
While Zhan Xiong was digesting this information, Tang Yu'an continued to work and upgraded the Zi Tian Grocery Store.
Because after Zhan Xiong received "training" from Lao Mo, he transferred him to Zi Tian Grocery Store, so the store is quite popular.
He directly upgraded the Zitian Grocery Store to level 2, unlocking more than 10,000 overnight accommodation quotas.
As for the subsequent upgrades, he paused them because of the need for magical furniture and land expansion. Anyway, these more than 10,000 places are enough in the short term.
After he perfected the overnight stay rules, he gave Zhan Xiong access to the overnight stay list, allowing him to add people to the list.
After doing all this, he and Zhou Qi did not leave immediately.
After all, they came to Zitian Castle in such a high profile just to spread the reputation of Shangshen Sect and let people from Zitian Castle come to them on their own initiative.
Sure enough, after waiting for less than five minutes, Yu Lixia was surrounded by a group of people and hurried over.
They had underestimated the strength of the Shangshen Sect before, so only Yu Lixia came alone.
But now, the situation has reversed!
