"The people of the God of Plague?"
Li Xuan frowned and exchanged a glance with Wang Wan beside him, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
The plague god that the mountain goddess had casually wiped away is still around?
Agu responded and turned to lead the way.
Grandma Gongsun patted Xiao Guai's head and comforted him, "Xiao Guai, you come along too. Let's go see which blind fool dares to run wild on our Mountain Goddess's territory!"
"Eek!"
Xiao Guai nodded heavily, took short steps, and followed closely behind the old lady, her huge fish eyes flashing with a fierce red light.
The group quickly reached the edge of the island.
On the azure sea not far away, a magnificent ship was moored.
The ship was made entirely of precious Phoebe zhennan wood, with carved beams and painted rafters, and towering pavilions.
The bow of the ship was even inlaid with a huge luminous pearl, which still emitted a soft halo in the daytime, making it extremely extravagant.
On the deck, a group of guards in uniform were surrounding a fat man.
The fat man, wearing an official hat and an ill-fitting brocade robe, was reclining on a large armchair, picking up a purple fruit and throwing it into his mouth while mumbling incoherently touting something onto the island.
"Hey! Listen up, you lowly people of the island!"
"I am an envoy under the command of the great God of Plague, and have come to take over this place by order of the God of Plague!"
His guards immediately raised their voices and shouted in a shrill tone, "The messenger of the plague god has arrived! Why don't you all come forward and kneel down to welcome him!"
The fat official, with an arrogant expression, casually spat the leftover fruit peels into the sea, speaking loudly in a condescending tone.
"I will give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to immediately hand over this South China Sea Immortal Islands! Otherwise, when our great Plague God descends in his true form, he will surely turn this unclean land of yours, along with you filthy lowly people, into pus!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan was completely stunned.
He turned to look at Wang Wan, his face full of disbelief: "Fairy Wang, what's going on? If I remember correctly, wasn't the Plague God completely eliminated by the Mountain Goddess?"
"Why has another messenger appeared?"
Li Xuan lowered his voice, a hint of worry in his voice: "It's difficult. Is that plague god not completely dead, or has he escaped?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Wang Wan's answer was resolute and without the slightest hesitation.
A layer of frost covered her beautiful face, her gaze coldly fixed on the large ship, her tone resolute: "The Mountain Goddess's divine power is as vast as an abyss. She has already annihilated it, which means that its body and soul have been destroyed, and there is no way it can survive."
"There must be something fishy going on here!"
"Eek!"
Just as the two were talking, Xiao Guai next to them couldn't contain herself any longer.
It heard the blasphemy in the other party's words and felt the anger emanating from the island's inhabitants.
With a sway of its body, just as it was about to transform back into its hundred-foot-tall colossal form, it slapped that annoying ship into the seabed.
"etc!"
A hand caught it just in time.
Grandma Gongsun narrowed her sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "Little darling, don't be impulsive, let's see what's going on first."
The old lady lived to be 120 years old and had seen all sorts of things.
These people are just bullying others; they must have ulterior motives. Killing them outright would be too lenient.
Just then, the islanders who had gathered around finally recognized the fat man, and they were all trembling with anger, their eyes reddening.
A middle-aged man pointed at the ship, his voice trembling with boundless hatred.
"Master Li! Fairy Wang! It's him! It's this corrupt official!"
"During the time you were in seclusion, it was this bastard who would come to our island by boat every few days to harass us!"
Another old woman beat her chest and cried out, "They not only stole our grain, but also abducted many of our daughters! My niece, who was only fifteen years old, was forcibly taken away by the people on their boat, and we still haven't seen her alive or dead!"
These words stirred up public outrage!
Li Xuan's face instantly darkened, before he could even speak.
A clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out!
Everyone only saw a flash of white light before their eyes, and Wang Wan had already moved.
She didn't even bother to say a word of unnecessary nonsense; the moment she heard the words "kidnapped her daughter," her murderous intent surged.
With a flick of her wrist, a long sword gleaming with spiritual light appeared in her hand. The sword hummed, carrying a sharp aura that could cut through anything. Without any hesitation, she swung it across the air towards the large ship!
The movements were swift and ruthless.
"Hold on!"
Seeing this, the old lady Gongsun behind them not only did not stop them, but instead shouted at the top of her lungs, "Don't damage the boat! That boat is a valuable thing! It's made of Phoebe zhennan wood!"
"rest assured."
Wang Wan's cool voice rang out, carrying absolute confidence.
"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry."
She was well aware that such a large ship capable of ocean voyages was an excellent means of transportation for the barren mountains, especially since it was made from precious materials.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly looked up.
An invisible sword aura, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, swiftly swept past the magnificent giant ship.
The ship was indeed intact.
The flags on the ship didn't even wave.
However, on the deck, the once arrogant fat official and his group of guards froze instantly.
Everyone on deck, including the obese official, was suddenly lifted up as if by an invisible hand grabbing their ankles!
They were instantly upside down, suspended in mid-air!
The fat official's hat fell off and rolled to the side.
His luxurious official robes slipped down due to gravity, revealing his large, white belly underneath.
He looked like a fat pig being hung up, his face turning a liverish color quickly due to the rush of blood to his brain.
"Ugh, ah, help..."
"You bunch of useless trash, hurry up and come save me!"
Like the other guards, he kicked wildly in the air, using both his hands and feet.
But it couldn't break free from the invisible restraints at all, and could only utter indistinct whimpers. Its previous arrogance vanished in an instant.
The entire sea fell silent once again.
Immediately afterwards, cheers erupted from the island.
"Wang Xianzi is mighty!"
"Well done! That's how you deal with these bastards!"
The people were so excited that they cried and laughed, venting all their grievances and anger.
Wang Wan sheathed her sword and stood there, her expression as cold and aloof as ever.
She gazed calmly at the group of messengers hanging upside down in the air and spoke softly.
"Now, we can talk properly."
