With Zhou Ke's guidance, the journey went smoothly.
After learning more, I discovered that Zhou Ke was the designated next leader of the Demon Extermination Sect, and he already held a very high status in Jiangdu.
That's why Su Yang roughly understood why Zhou Ke was so angry before.
Unfortunately, the weak in this world have no voice.
It's worth mentioning that the speed of the sailboat Zhou Ke used was several times faster than that of Su Yang's previous sailboat. It only took one day to travel from a small town in front of the Forest of No Return to Jiangdu. If Su Yang had used his previous sailboat, it probably wouldn't have taken three days and three nights to get there.
Upon inquiring, they learned that almost all of their cloud-sailing boats were sent from Zhongzhou, while places like Ziyang Sect made their own cloud-sailing boats, which is why they were much slower in comparison.
Su Yang was speechless.
So, does the concept of "imported goods" even exist in this world?
Upon arriving in Jiangdu, looking out from the sailboat, the city was divided into three walls, stretching for a thousand miles from top to bottom!
Inside the outermost city wall, there were mostly ordinary people, while the second layer consisted of large mansions, as well as luxurious restaurants and inns. The innermost layer, enclosed by the city wall, was an extremely magnificent palace, which was much more spacious than the outside. There were also other residences, but it was unknown who lived there.
Standing on the sailboat, Zhou Ke gazed at the scenery of Jiangdu and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I really hope that people's peaceful lives can always be like this," Zhou Ke murmured with her eyes closed.
Although the words were spoken very softly, they still reached Su Yang's ears.
He didn't say anything, he just stood silently at the back.
After the sailboat landed, Zhou Ke rushed towards a mansion. Above the mansion hung a black wooden plaque with three large characters written in a vigorous and powerful style.
Exterminate the Evil Sect!
Su Yang shook his head helplessly: "This guy didn't even tell me where to catch the Sky Ship."
Left with no other choice, he followed them inside.
As soon as I went in, I could hear sounds coming from inside.
"Young Miss! You're finally back, but... why are you all alone?"
At the entrance, a man who looked to be around fifty years old greeted them.
Zhou Ke said with a somewhat dim look in her eyes, "Butler Wang, this is a long story, I'll tell you later."
Butler Wang sighed and said, "Miss, please don't leave yet. I still have something else to say."
Zhou Ke frowned and asked, "What is it?"
Steward Wang said, "The sect leader's condition is getting worse and worse. If we can't find an antidote, he probably only has seven days left."
He spoke very cryptically, but in reality, the current leader of the Demon-Slaying Sect will surely die in seven days!
Zhou Ke's heart skipped a beat, and she asked anxiously, "How could this be? I was perfectly fine before I left. How come I only have so few days left after I came back?"
Butler Wang did not speak.
At this moment, a man of about twenty years old slowly walked down from the main hall of the Demon Extermination Sect. He was holding a paper fan, his face was flushed, and he was laughing loudly as he walked down the steps. Behind him were four guards dressed in dark red tight-fitting clothes.
Su Yang could roughly understand the opponent's strength at a glance.
The man was only at the True Essence Realm, while the four behind him were all at the Opening Realm.
At this moment, the man laughed and said, "Zhou Ke, did you hear that? Your father's life is coming to an end. As long as you obediently bring the Demon-Slaying Sect under the Han family's name, the Han family will naturally give your father the antidote. Moreover, as long as you are willing to marry me, you will have a place in the Demon-Slaying Sect in the future. Not to mention, I can make you my principal wife."
"Han Yi, what are you doing here!" Zhou Ke's face immediately turned cold.
The Han family and the Exorcising Evil Sect have always been at odds, especially during a sparring match where both sides claimed it was a friendly exchange. However, the Han family's eldest elder suddenly launched a vicious attack when the sect leader stopped, later claiming it was an accident, and that the antidote would be delivered a few days later.
But this delivery lasted for three years!
After the leader of the Demon Extermination Sect was poisoned, his strength was greatly reduced, and it was no longer possible for him to directly challenge the Han family. He could only wait for the other party to send the antidote. After that, the Han family became more and more outrageous, even demanding that the Demon Extermination Sect be completely owned by the Han family! This was the foundation passed down from generation to generation by Zhou Ke's family. How could they allow these secular families to lay their hands on it?
No, the Demon-Slaying Sect absolutely cannot be allowed to leave!
However, Zhou Ke was not so resolute this time, because the Demon Extermination Sect had already lost so much power. If even the sect leader died, the Demon Extermination Sect would be reduced to a second-rate force in Jiangdu.
Most importantly, that's her father!
Zhou Ke gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the smug Han Yi.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice rang out.
“Hey brother, even if Brother Zhou is a bit handsome, there’s no need to be so indiscriminate… Could it be that people in Jiangdu have some kind of… fetish?” Su Yang asked, his lips twitching as he stood a short distance away.
What is that?
Han Yi looked at Su Yang in surprise, only then realizing that there was another person at the door.
Judging from his attire, Su Yang doesn't seem to be a member of the Exorcising Evil Sect.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours what my quirks are?" Han Yi said disdainfully.
After all, he couldn't sense any true energy from Su Yang.
How dare a piece of trash talk to him?
However, Han Yi's words sent a chill down Su Yang's spine. It was often said that the young masters of big cities had strange tastes, and some even had homosexual tendencies; now it seemed that this was indeed true!
Su Yang said, embarrassed, "As expected of the young master, are you tired of women and planning to play with men instead?"
