The speedboat was reduced to ashes by the high-yield TNT explosives, leaving no trace of wreckage on the sponge.
Ling Bingqian's beautiful eyes were full of surprise and doubt. It was obvious that the cruise ship under her feet should have exploded, so how could it be the speedboat where Duan Wensheng was?
"Long Yi, how could this happen?"
Long Yi smiled and said, "I am eliminating harm for the people. Duan Wensheng has brought this upon himself. This is all his own fault.
A scum like him would waste land resources if he died on the ground, so turning him into a dazzling firework is a way of giving him some dignity."
Ling Bingqian suddenly realized: "So you had already replaced the explosives on that speedboat. No wonder you weren't scared at all just now."
At this time, the sailors watching on the deck burst into cheers of survival. They had no sympathy for the deaths of Duan Wensheng and the other two.
The other party has treated himself as a sacrifice. Such a ruthless master is not worth following.
The first mate on board bowed deeply to Long Yi and said with tears of gratitude: "Mr. Long, if it weren't for you, we would have been blown to ashes long ago.
If you don't mind, all of us brothers on this ship will follow you."
The remaining dozens of sailors also bowed and shouted in unison:
"From now on, I will follow Mr. Long's lead!"
Long Yi waved his hand and said calmly: "Forget about following me. After all, there is no use for me to have this dock."
Ling Bingqian patted Long Yi's chest and said with a smile: "If you don't want it, I will. This dock is a hot commodity in Jinghai City.
It's a pity that it was previously controlled by the Alchemy Association, otherwise my High Heaven Pavilion would have taken it under its wing long ago."
Long Yi smiled and said, "There is no free lunch in the world. I can give it to you, but you have to promise me one thing in the future."
Ling Bingqian agreed without even thinking about it. After all, this pier was too important to Lingxiao Pavilion.
The sailors had no objection. Lingxiao Pavilion had a good reputation in Jinghai City, which was many times better than the demanding Alchemy Association.
"From now on, this dock will belong to the Ling family. We sincerely submit to Lingxiao Pavilion."
"I've long since given up working at the Alchemy Association. Not only do I have to do the work of three people, but the pay is ridiculously low."
"That's right. Not only did he save our brothers' lives, he also showed us the way forward. Turning from darkness to light is our best choice!"
Ling Bingqian looked at the sailors who were sincerely convinced and felt happy. She thought it was worth the trip to Lingxiao Pavilion to take over this wharf.
The cruise ship continued to sail forward in the boundless ocean. Without Duan Wensheng's presence, the ship was peaceful.
At noon on the third day, a crew member looked at the small island in the distance and said excitedly, "Island! Mr. Long, we are almost there."
Long Yi stood on the deck and looked, and sure enough, an island in the distance kept getting bigger and bigger.
Thrall's eyes filled with tears. "I never thought I could set foot on my homeland again. The tribe leader's illness can be cured."
Ling Bingqian smiled with her beautiful eyes. The boring journey of three days and three nights was finally over. She wondered what unknown encounters she would encounter on Kezan Island.
The cruise ship continued on for a few miles and docked on the shore of Kezan Island.
Long Yi planned to put all the 100,000 taels of gold into the storage space. After all, the terrain on Kezan Island was complex and the trucks could not travel through the dense primeval forest.
"What's going on? Why can't all this gold be put into the storage space?" Long Yi tried again and again but still failed.
Sar explained, "Kezan Island is cursed. Any spiritual weapon that enters this area will become ineffective. Even cultivators cannot fully exert their strength."
Long Yi was shocked and tried to adjust the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, but even if he tried his best, there was still deathly silence around him.
"If that's the case, then the risk factor of this trip will greatly increase."
Long Yi gave up the idea of putting the gold into the storage space. He could only wait until he cured the illness of the chief of the goblin tribe and then let the goblin tribe send people to take it.
He ordered, "First mate, have the cruise ship drop anchor in the surrounding waters. I'll signal you after I've dealt with matters on the island."
The first mate said respectfully, "As you command, everything will be done according to your instructions."
After getting off the boat, Long Yi stepped onto the ground of Kezan Island. Due to the erosion of sea water, the ground was covered with muddy mud, and even moving required a lot of effort.
Thrall warned: "Be careful, there is a swamp in this area. If you fall into it, it is basically a death sentence."
Long Yi looked forward and saw many white bones exposed on the wetland.
Ling Bingqian took off her shoes and socks, and her white jade feet struggled forward in the wetland.
The three of them lined up in a row, with Sal leading the way in front and Ling Bingqian holding Long Yi's shoulders from behind, moving forward at a snail's pace.
Just as she was about to walk out of the wetland, Ling Bingqian groaned in pain. The stinging pain from her feet made her body tilt and fall to the side.
"careful!"
Long Yi realized something was wrong and turned around to grab Ling Bingqian, but it was too late.
Ling Bingqian fell sideways into the swamp beside her. The severe pain under her feet made her struggle uncontrollably.
The more she struggled frantically, the deeper her body sank under the powerful suction of the swamp.
In less than a moment, the muddy swamp had reached his chest and was only one step away from his chin.
Long Yi reminded: "Miss Ling, calm down first. The more you struggle, the faster you will fall into it!"
Ling Bingqian said with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I won't struggle anymore. Quickly think of a way to pull me up."
She was now completely sunken in the swamp below her neck, and the immense pressure in her chest made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Long Yi grabbed Ling Bingqian's right hand and tried to pull her out.
But the soft mud under his feet left him with no foothold. Not only did he fail to pull Ling Bingqian up, but his body sank into it as well.
Sal said anxiously, "Mr. Long, it won't work if we just use brute force to pull it. We have to find a wide wooden board.
You stay here and watch over Pavilion Master Ling. I'll go look for him in the forest."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
After walking out of the wetlands, Thrall accelerated and ran into the forest.
Long Yi held Ling Bingqian's hand tightly and said comfortingly, "Miss Ling, try to relax your body first."
Because he was unable to transfer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Long Yi could only transfer the Xuantian true energy in his body to Ling Bingqian.
Ling Bingqian felt a burst of warmth coming from the palm of her hand, and the true energy continued to flow through her meridians and limbs, and her originally cold body became warm.
She gradually calmed down, stopped struggling, and her body stopped sinking.
After more than ten minutes, Long Yi still didn't wait for Sal, so he had to walk out of the wetland by himself.
He looked around and saw that everything around him was barren, without even a vine.
Long Yi had an idea and took off his shirt and pants, tied them in a knot in the middle and threw them towards Ling Bingqian.
"Ms. Ling, grab your clothes quickly and I'll pull you up!"
