They are willing to hold onto even the smallest hope, like a straw.
It was truly a painful experience for these merchants and travelers to avoid using the small ferry crossing.
They longed for this small ferry crossing to reopen, making it easier for merchants and traders to travel and trade.
The bearded merchant also told his companions about the newly opened limonite mine in Xiaoxianzhuang, a place under the Bixian Sect, and that trade there would surely flourish soon.
Even if he didn't say it, the news would surely spread throughout the martial arts world. It's better to say it out loud, as it can do favors for many people, and more importantly, it can do favors for Ye Liang. That's why this bearded merchant was so generous in telling everyone.
Upon hearing this news, the business travelers were even more excited.
"If the ferry crossing becomes navigable and Xiaoxianzhuang opens a new limonite mine, then we'll have a stable trade route. That would be fantastic!"
"Not only can we trade limonite, but we can also trade grain to Xiaoxianzhuang. Once trade in Xiaoxianzhuang flourishes, there will be more people who need grain. At that time, we will definitely need to buy grain."
"Inns and teahouses will probably open up. There are plenty of opportunities in cloth, silk, tea, and so on."
Before Xiaoxianzhuang had even truly prospered, these merchants were already expertly discussing the trade business they would be doing in the future.
When these words reached the carriage of the master, who was walking at the back, the master, Zhang Yuzhen, was deeply moved.
He couldn't help but say to his eldest disciple, Qi Xue, "If all these people go to Xiaoxianzhuang to travel as merchants, our sect will surely become more and more lively. At that time, talents from all over the world will gather, our Bixian Sect will surely gain a high reputation, and many people from the martial arts world will take the initiative to come and become disciples. In ten years, our Bixian Sect will surely be revived and grow stronger, and the sect's revival will be within reach."
ten years?
Upon hearing this, the eldest disciple, Qi Xue, said in a clear voice, "With Junior Brother here, even three years would be too long."
These words, spoken unintentionally by the eldest disciple, were clearly unspoken.
However, suddenly, Master Zhang Yuzhen nodded and smiled with satisfaction, already agreeing in his heart.
With Ye Liang around, Xu Zhen won't need three years before her disciples show her a completely different Bixian Sect.
It truly made her, as the master, eagerly anticipate the arrival of three years from now, wondering what a prosperous and prestigious Bixian Sect would be like then.
After walking for a long time, a village with willow trees began to appear before us.
As we continued walking, the village became increasingly clear.
Suddenly, you can start to see blue crabs crawling on the road, occasionally snapping their large pincers, baring their teeth and claws, looking rather domineering.
The horses pulling the carriage were initially startled; their front legs became weak, and they dared not move forward.
"What's wrong?" The junior sister asked Ye Liang, poking her head out of the carriage as she sensed the carriage had stopped moving.
The four children, too, peeked out with adorable curiosity to see what was happening outside.
"Junior Sister, you drive. There are crabs blocking the road ahead, I'll clear it." Ye Liang smiled and handed the reins to his junior sister, letting her drive.
"Okay. Ye Liang, be careful." The junior sister was happy to drive for Ye Liang, and then cheerfully said to the children, "You all sit tight. I'll drive now. I might not be a very good driver."
The children laughed, not worried at all that their junior master would drive the carriage poorly and cause them an accident.
After handing the reins to his junior sister, Ye Liang leaped into the air, using his immortal skill "Wind Control," and flew low over the open field before him.
Click click click!
Someone flew by!
The spirit crabs that passed by immediately chased after Ye Liang.
The sound of the crab's large front claws swishing around immediately created a series of clicking sounds, which instantly sent chills down one's spine.
At this moment, the second senior sister and the carriage driven by Qin Shaoyang also stopped, following Ye Liang's carriage.
The caravans following Ye Liang's convoy also slowly came to a stop one after another.
They also began to notice the rampant growth of spirit crabs causing harm here.
He couldn't help but worry whether the powerful cultivator Ye Liang in front of him was up to the task.
If so many spirit crabs were to start eating people, they would probably leave only bones in no time, which would naturally inspire terror.
Ye Liang flew around, attracting a dark mass of spirit crabs behind him, resembling a massive army. The scene was quite dangerous, making people worry about whether Ye Liang could handle it. Just then, Ye Liang suddenly soared into the air, and then his first combat immortal skill was a devastating smash!
Mysterious Thunderous Fury Sword Technique!
Amidst the terrifying thunder, boundless sword energy carrying the power of azure thunder surged forth, annihilating a large number of spirit crabs.
Wahaha!
Under the wrath of Xuan Lei's sword energy, a large number of rampaging spirit crabs were immediately annihilated.
The dead spirit crabs all turned belly up, their colors completely different from their blue shells, making them easy to see.
With a single move, all the spirit crabs within a ten-meter radius were annihilated!
After all, the Profound Thunder Wrath Sword Technique is a powerful immortal skill that draws upon the power of the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, harnesses the thunderous rage sword energy, and powerfully attacks forty-five targets within a twelve-meter radius of the user. It attacks twice, with the second attack dealing an additional 1698 points of damage!
For someone as strong as Ye Liang, dealing with these ordinary spirit crabs would be a piece of cake.
With a single move, he annihilated the spirit crab within ten meters of him!
It made the space around me suddenly feel empty.
The spirit crabs, ten meters away, continued their aggressive charge, crowding together.
