On Juechen Island, the remaining three wandering cultivators looked at each other with different expressions, and none of them said they wanted to leave. Once the seeds of greed were planted in their hearts, they would take root and sprout deeply.
What they didn't expect was that not long after, Liu Yuan and Jiang Yun had returned.
But the two opponents didn't seem to want to talk to them. Instead, they ordered their men to start the boat, apparently preparing to leave.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
One of the wandering cultivators finally couldn't help himself, fearing that this opportunity would slip away in vain. He immediately came to the dock and shouted loudly.
"roll!"
Liu Yuan was already angry. It would have been fine if he hadn't provoked these wandering cultivators, but they actually came to provoke him?
The casual cultivator who came over, as well as the two casual cultivators following behind, heard this and their faces suddenly changed drastically. They had not expected the other party to have such an attitude.
"Does your Excellency wish to keep the treasure for himself?"
Hearing the words of the wandering cultivator, Liu Yuan's face turned pale and he said sternly:
"Get out of here!"
With Jiang Yun as his backing, he was not afraid of these three casual cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.
As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, Jiang Yun and Liu Yuan's spirit swords appeared in their hands. They looked at each other coldly.
"Okay, okay, Qingyun Sect, I'll take note!"
Seeing this, the leading cultivator uttered a harsh word and immediately turned and left, mentally preparing to spread the news of the treasure.
Seeing this, the remaining two wandering cultivators didn't dare to linger any longer and left immediately, leaving behind only Liu Yuan, who looked disdainful, and Jiang Yun, who looked calm.
"Humph! So what if the news spreads? Do you dare to come to Qingyun Sect to stop me?"
Liu Yuan snorted coldly and spoke softly.
He really didn't take these few independent cultivators seriously. The strength of the sect was beyond their comprehension. There were dozens of Jindan cultivators in the sect, a rare sight outside. And that was just from Qingyun Sect alone.
If he can't find a powerful trump card for the treasure this time, he also plans to call his close uncle to go on the adventure together, and then everything will be safe.
Jiang Yun, however, didn't take this too seriously. The demon cultivator's lair was too dangerous, so he didn't consider going there himself. Instead, he preferred to trade with Liu Yuan. His own cultivation method for advancing to the Golden Core stage was probably different from that of ordinary cultivators.
Soon, the sailors prepared the merchant ship, and everyone ignored the slowly growing turmoil on Juechen Island. The merchant ship quickly left and continued to sail west.
Soon after, news of a treasure trove spread across the Dongyu Islands, claiming it contained various natural treasures that could help foundation-building cultivators advance to the Golden Core stage.
The news of the treasure was in the hands of the cultivators of the Liu family of Qingyun Sect. However, just as Liu Yuan had predicted, no cultivator dared to go to the Liu family on Yunteng Island in person. Only a few cultivators sent people to inquire about the Liu family's merchant ships, to see when they would pass through the Dongyu Islands again.
But by then, the merchant ship had already left the Dongyu Islands and entered the vast ocean. Liu Yuan, on his return voyage, also planned to bypass the Dongyu Islands and would no longer take this route.
"The Endless Sea is a vast and mysterious place. We cultivators are so insignificant in front of it. Apart from immortals, who else can understand what's inside?"
Liu Yuan and Jiang Yun stood on the deck of the merchant ship. After this incident, their relationship became closer. Liu Yuan also saw how powerful Jiang Yun was, and Jiang Yun also began to trust him.
Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Jiang Yun nodded. The mysteries of the sea were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. Furthermore, the protagonists here weren't human cultivators, but rather countless demonic beasts.
Just as the two finished talking, a white wave suddenly appeared in front of them. This wave was sometimes high, sometimes low, and its speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
"The fish are coming!" The sailor who was watching on the railing suddenly issued a warning, pointing to the sea ahead and shouting loudly.
"A school of fish?" Jiang Yun looked at the waves before him and realized they were actually made up of sea fish. The waves were vast and boundless, and the merchant ship was right in front of the other wave's crest.
"Activate the formation!"
Liu Yuan was not surprised. As long as there were not many foundation-building creatures in this kind of fish school, it would not be a problem.
As soon as Liu Yuan issued the order, a cyan light shield quickly enveloped the entire merchant ship from bottom to top. This formation was rarely activated, not even during the giant octopus or during high winds and waves.
"This formation is most effective against ordinary beasts. However, it won't work against monsters at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand any attack from them."
Liu Yuan stared at the school of fish in front of him with a serious expression, observing at any time whether there were any foundation-building monsters appearing.
Jiang Yun's spiritual consciousness also enveloped the school of fish. He saw that the fish were densely packed, one next to the other, and were rushing forward impatiently, as if there was something waiting for them in front, or something was chasing them from behind.
"Be careful, it's not the school of fish that's scary, what's scary is something chasing them from behind!"
As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, the wave of fish formed by the school of fish had already crashed into the merchant ship's formation shield. Instantly, the shattered fish carcasses fell into the sea and were instantly devoured by other fish.
One after another, one after another.
The formation master on the merchant ship, a cultivator from the Liu family in the late stage of Qi Refining, was constantly busy debugging the formation, fearing that it would fail at the critical moment.
Finally, after half an hour of continuous pounding, the merchant ship had been pushed back more than ten miles by the shoal of fish. Slowly, the dense shoal of fish before their eyes began to thin out. Soon, the wave of fish passed.
But Liu Yuan's expression became more solemn, because if the fish were driven here, there would probably be big fish behind them.
"Bang!" Sure enough, before anyone on board could react, the entire merchant ship was suddenly hit by something. Instantly, except for Jiang Yun and Liu Yuan, all the other cultivators and mortals were thrown to the ground by inertia.
"In the water!"
Liu Yuan shouted loudly, and Jiang Yun swept his spiritual sense and discovered that there was actually a huge whale underwater. And judging by the aura of the whale's cultivation, it was surprisingly at the level of a second-order primary demon beast.
As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, the spiritual weapon Water Dividing Cone in his hand turned into a stream of light and plunged into the sea.
“Buzz…!”
The water divider plunged into the seabed, and soon after, a low-pitched, extremely loud sound echoed from below. The mortals on the merchant ship felt like a drum was being struck fiercely beside them. They were completely uncomfortable.
"Evil beast!"
Liu Yuan controlled the water diversion cone in the water and continued to stab it towards the big whale.
