The coast of Jinlin City was covered with white snow, covering the ground and extending all the way to the sea.
Snowflakes kept falling from the sky. From afar, snowflakes as big as goose feathers merged into the turbulent sea surface.
An extremely large fishing boat was docked at the shore.
When Xue Kong and his group arrived here, the boarding stairs were lowered from the fishing boat. The deck of the fishing boat was full of people, all of whom were young and strong young men.
"Uncle Zhong, I'll drop you off here." Shopkeeper Yang bowed slightly to Uncle Zhong and said with a smile, "I hope you return with a good load."
Shopkeeper Yang naturally wouldn't go out to sea with them. With his physique, he would only make things more difficult.
"Please go back." Mr. Zhong nodded.
Just as Manager Yang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said, "I've asked my confidant to come aboard. He'll tell you something then."
"The sea is dangerous and there are evil beasts lurking around, but there will be people to protect you."
Mr. Zhong and Ruyi couldn't understand the meaning of Manager Yang's words.
After hearing this, Xue Kong had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't take it too seriously.
He has been staying in the Xue family in Jinlin City since he was a child and has basically never gone out.
Although he didn't know how he got here, it was full of novelty for him. He was also full of excitement and anticipation when going out to sea with Mr. Zhong this time.
"This world is not only populated by cultivators, but also by a wide variety of exotic beasts. This is a boundless ocean in a realm of cultivation at some unknown level. It's likely there are exotic beasts lurking around. I hope I don't encounter any."
Xue Kong felt a mixture of anticipation and worry. He then thought, "Shopkeeper Yang obviously knows more. He just mentioned that there are people on this fishing boat who can deal with the strange beasts."
"Is there a monk up here?"
Xue Kong looked around when he got on the boat.
This fishing boat is extremely large, three times larger than Mr. Zhong’s house. It is like a behemoth. There are no less than two hundred young and strong men on the boat.
After everyone got on the boat, they followed Mr. Zhong's instructions and set sail.
It was not until the fishing boat sailed away from the coast and headed towards the depths of the sea that a middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked out of the cabin.
His chin was covered with stubble, and he was quite muscular with prominent temples. He looked like a mortal martial artist. He walked towards Old Man Zhong with a smile and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Old Man."
"Could this be the person that Manager Yang said could protect us?" Xue Kong looked at the man in yellow robe and had an idea in his mind.
The opponent's strength is undoubtedly among the best on this fishing boat.
If it is dealing with ordinary beasts, of course it is no problem, but if it is facing a beast that has practiced cultivation, it will be no match for it.
"My name is Pan Mo. I'm here to accompany you out to sea on the orders of the shopkeeper." The man in the yellow robe bowed.
Old Man Zhong glanced at him, looking him up and down. His face darkened slightly, and there was a hint of awe in his tone: "There is a list of killers in the martial arts world, and you are the third one, the cold-blooded ghost hand."
"I have retired from the underworld for a long time and have not been involved in killing people for a long time." Pan Mo smiled indifferently and was not proud of this title.
"A cold-blooded killer, Sister Ruyi, have you heard of him?" Xue Kong asked softly as he stood beside Ruyi.
After spending more than a month together, he and Ruyi became closer.
"Stay away from him, or you might lose your life." Ruyi stared at Pan Mo, who had a kind smile, and said in a deep voice.
Mr. Zhong had no good feelings towards the killer, and even felt a little repulsive, but since the killer was sent by Manager Yang, he could not refuse.
I thought to myself that I was not without any means. Even if this person had any bad intentions, I could counterattack.
Then, Old Man Zhong said calmly, "Rumor has it that the top three Wulin assassins, including you, have all vanished from the martial arts world."
Pan Mo nodded and said, "It's precisely because of the disappearance of the first and second that I feel that this martial world is no longer interesting. If there are no more rivals, then showing up in front of others will no longer be meaningful."
"If I can't find them, I won't be able to become the number one in the martial arts world. It's better to quit this world."
Pan Mo sighed with emotion, then turned around, looked at the sky with falling snow, and said, "They say there are two of them, but I know that Xue Hu, who ranks second, is the real number one in the martial arts world."
"If I defeat this man, I will become number one."
"Unfortunately, on a moonlit night, this man massacred 203 people from the Wansheng Escort Agency and then disappeared without a trace."
"Some say Xue Hu also died in that massacre, his body chopped into pieces by his enemies and fed to wild dogs. Others say Xue Hu grew tired of the strife in the martial arts world and retired to the mountains."
"It is my lifelong regret that I have never fought against the Blood Lake."
Listening to Pan Mo talking about this matter without any reservation, Mr. Zhong remained calm on the surface, but was already full of vigilance in his heart.
The people who made it to the list of martial arts killers were all ruthless and heartless killers who killed people without blinking an eye and were cold-blooded and merciless. Mr. Zhong didn't dare to confirm whether this person was really controlled by Manager Yang.
Xue Kong felt a little scared when he heard this.
He licked his lips and whispered to Ruyi, "Sister Ruyi, we'd better stay close to each other while we're on the boat, lest this guy goes crazy and kills us and throws us into the sea without anyone knowing."
Ruyi turned her head and glanced at Xue Kong.
This tall and slender young man, taller than himself, looked as timid as a teenager at the moment. His youthfulness, which was obviously inconsistent with his appearance, made people laugh.
She nodded and smiled: "Are you not afraid if we stay together?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Xue Kong said seriously, "But if we stay together, even if I die, I'll be a clear-headed ghost. I won't be a confused ghost."
