Chapter 164 Cloud Battle Qi
Update Time: 8-5 16:04:05 Words: 3276

"Hmph, you think you can stop me with just a few of you!"
Amona sneered, brandishing his iron staff and shouting loudly.
Yun Shan, the leader, also shouted, "Let me show you the power of our Cloud-Covered Seven Star Formation!"
As he spoke, he swung his longsword, and the nebula-like formation instantly activated, with more than a dozen sword lights bursting out, like a sky full of silver stars.
The spiritual pressure in the air intensified, and even Amona couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity on his face. He then laughed and said, "Old man Yun Ji is indeed not simple, actually training a group of disciples like you. What a pity..."
At this moment, figures like clouds and sword lights like stars swept towards Amona with overwhelming force. Yun Shan was in the middle of the formation, and his longsword was as fast as a shooting star, stabbing towards Amona's throat.
Bang!
Amona wielded his iron staff unhurriedly, seemingly unconcerned by the sky full of sword lights. With a few swings, he deftly blocked the sword attacks of Yunshan and the others.
Although the formation was profound and incredibly powerful, Amona remained composed and at ease within it.
"You juniors, why aren't you backing down? Do you really want me to kill you?"
Amona said, glaring as he deflected Yunshan's sword.
Yunshan took a step back, gritting his teeth, "As disciples of Baiyun Cave, we should be concerned for our master and cleanse the sect of scum!" He then glanced at his fellow disciples and ordered, "Junior brothers, attack!"
The Cloud-Covered Seven Star Formation suddenly intensified its power. The ten sword lights merged into one in mid-air, like a silver net of blades, enveloping Amona.
"Hmph, I'll break your Cloud Star Formation and see if you dare to be arrogant again!"
A fierce glint flashed in Amona's eyes. Just as the silver net of sharp blades descended, he suddenly hurled his iron staff. As the staff left his hand, it flashed with a strange, five-colored light. Although the light was not bright, it caused the light of Yunshan and the others' Cloud Seven Star Formation to dim instantly. With a loud bang, the iron staff blocked the convergence of the ten sword lights.
The iron staff collided with the sword lights, and an explosion of spiritual light burst out. With several muffled groans, the ten White Cloud Cave disciples staggered and fell to the ground, while the weakest two, Yunhai and Yuntai, fell into the sea.
Amona retrieved his iron staff, looked at the ten swords that had been shattered, and laughed loudly.
This exchange happened in the blink of an eye. Yun Xin had just been pushed into the cabin by True Person Yunji. Although the ship looked ordinary, it was actually enhanced by Yun Ji's magical power. Therefore, the residual spiritual energy from Amona's battle with his ten disciples didn't harm Yun Xin.
"Old man Yun Ji, are you just going to watch your disciples die for you?" Amona sneered, then added, "If it were me, I wouldn't be so willing!"
"Hmph, Amona, I'll fight you today!"
Yun Ji Zhenren roared from the stern. Having already protected Yun Xin, he had no more worries and leaped onto the waves. He slightly raised his palms, and a faint white mist appeared before his chest.
Yun Shan and the other disciples were startled. They knew this was their master's signature move, called Cloud Battle Qi. Its power surpassed ordinary spiritual energy, but it came at the cost of consuming one's physical strength.
For cultivators, maintaining good physical strength was the best way to preserve spiritual energy. If physical strength was insufficient, spiritual energy would be severely depleted, so very few people practiced this daring and heaven-defying technique. Even Master Yunji rarely used Cloud Battle Qi after achieving fame and enlightenment, generally reserving it for self-preservation. His immediate use of it clearly showed his considerable fear of Amona.
Yuntai and Yunhai, soaking wet, leaped from the water. Although injured, they were cultivators and wouldn't drown.
However, two of the ten disciples of White Cloud Cave were seriously injured, their old wounds from fighting the two demonic beasts accumulating new ones. The others also suffered minor internal injuries, significantly reducing their fighting strength.
"Cloud Battle Qi! It seems Senior Brother hasn't wasted these years; your Cloud Battle Qi already has a hint of purple."
Amona's eyes darted around, noticing the cloud-like qi gathering on Master Yunji's chest, and he sneered. Sure enough, deep within that white qi, a purple aura gradually emerged. This purple qi was the highest stage of Cloud Battle Qi; once mastered, few could rival him.
"Come on, Amona!"
Master Yunji roared. He had his own plans. His ten disciples were all injured, their fighting strength greatly diminished. Although he wasn't afraid of Amona, who knew when this evil beast master would summon a horde of demonic beasts to attack him? So, he decided to strike first and used his trump card from the start. He pushed forward with both palms, and white clouds of energy seemed to float lightly towards Amona. However, Amona's smile vanished, replaced by a truly serious expression.
This white cloud of energy looked like a cloud in the sky, but Amona knew very well that it was a deadly weapon. Years ago, Master Yunji had killed a demonic beast in the Transformation stage with a small wisp of low-level cloud battle qi. Its current power was something even he might not be confident of withstanding.
However, in a flash, a mysterious smile appeared on Amona's face. He uttered two strange shouts, and the iron staff in his hand flew into the air, instantly transforming into a giant serpent with golden scales and red eyes.
"A transformed demonic beast?"
Yun Shan growled, but with a miserable cry from the giant serpent, his battle aura had already enveloped his entire body. Instantly, his battle aura dissipated, and the giant serpent was torn to pieces, its flesh and blood flying everywhere. At this moment, Amona appeared beside Yun Shan like a ghost.
"Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell!"
Yun Shan called out Amona's trick, and suddenly felt a black shadow flash before his eyes. He instinctively dodged, but a cold hand was already pressed against his back.
Master Yunji had exhausted thirty percent of his strength, yet only managed to kill one transformed beast in Amona's hands. Moreover, his first disciple was now under Amona's control. His face darkened, and he lost his composure, cursing, "Despicable villain!"
"Senior brother, although you've cultivated for so many years, it seems your intelligence hasn't improved much?"
Amona laughed wildly, then coldly asked, "Well, how about obediently handing over your niece to me?"
"Amona, you…"
Master Yunji was consumed by rage and speechless. He was caught in a dilemma: attacking was risky, but retreating meant handing his daughter over to this evil beast master.
"Release Senior Brother Yunshan, I'll go with you!"
At this moment, a delicate shout came from the cabin. It was Yun Xin, whom Master Yunji had pushed into the cabin for refuge. She had seen everything clearly—her senior brothers, her father, and Amona's battle. She finally understood that her father's feigned weakness towards Amona was a last resort. Because it seemed that Amona was indeed a troublesome person. She had to take responsibility for the trouble she caused back then, and she couldn't let this evil beastmaster run rampant. Of course, even now, she didn't think she had done anything wrong by saving that young man.
"Alright, that's more like it..."
Amona chuckled, then said to Yunji Zhenren, whose face had turned a deep shade of purplish-red with anger, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely treat my niece Xin'er well."
"Xin'er..."
Yunji Zhenren said in a trembling voice, now truly torn between his beloved disciple and his beloved daughter.
"Junior Sister, don't worry about me! Master, kill this villain! We can't let Junior Sister fall into his hands!"
Yunshan, though restrained, shouted loudly. But as soon as he uttered those words, he felt a sharp pain in his back, followed by a tightness in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Boy, don't speak... or you'll die a horrible death!"
Amona spoke with a grim face.
Yunshan, injured by Amona's palm strike, gasped for breath, spitting out a mouthful of blood, a sudden trace of sorrow appearing in his eyes.
"Amona, spare my senior brother!"
Yunxin rushed out of the cabin, but was blocked by Yunhai, Yuntai, and the others beside her.
Yunshan looked at Yunxin, then at Yunji Zhenren, and smiled bitterly, saying, "Master, I've dragged you all into this!"
"Yunshan, what are you saying?"
Yunji Zhenren asked in surprise.
Yunshan smiled and said again, "Master, avenge me!" After speaking, he suddenly turned around, his whole body bursting with a dazzling spiritual light.
"Yunshan..."
"Senior brother..."
Yunji Zhenren, Yunxin, and the other disciples' faces instantly changed color. They had already realized that Yunshan had used the White Cloud Cave's self-destructive move—the Dust Transformation Technique.
Amona was caught off guard and, disregarding Yunshan, hurriedly took two steps back. With the dazzling light, a muffled thud was heard, and Yunshan had vanished without a trace.
He couldn't help but gasp. He was well aware of the self-destruction spell of the White Cloud Cave, but he hadn't expected this kid to disrupt his plans so quickly.
"Amona, give me back my disciple's life!"
Master Yunji roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot, completely disregarding his status as a grandmaster. He unleashed a barrage of cloud-based battle qi at Amona, ignoring his own strength.
"Are you crazy?!"
Amona hadn't expected Master Yunji to react so strongly. It was just the death of a disciple, not his daughter! But there was no time to think. He immediately activated his cultivation technique, instantly creating layers of spiritual energy shields in front of him, while simultaneously chanting a spell to summon a demonic beast.
A series of deafening explosions followed as the cloud-based battle qi collided with the spiritual energy shields. The shockwaves spread outwards, and Yunhai and Yuntai, who only managed to push Yun Xin into the cabin, were swept away by the massive wave of energy. The other disciples were also shocked, each
channeling their inner energy to defend against the remaining spiritual energy. Master Yunji's all-out attack was naturally extraordinary; the surrounding sea instantly surged with wind and clouds, towering waves crashing against it. The last wisp of cloud-like energy finally broke through the spiritual energy shield, striking Amona heavily.
Amona groaned, his body flying backward. His aura was injured by the cloud-like energy, and his face turned deathly pale. Just then, his summoning of his demonic beast was complete.
Master Yunji, having unleashed several more wisps of cloud-like energy, was now completely exhausted and collapsed limply to the ground. One of the surrounding disciples, not yet seriously injured, gritted his teeth, leaped up, and kicked Amona.
Amona, severely injured by the cloud-like energy, could only close his eyes and await his death as the White Cloud Cave disciple's kick came hurtling towards him. Just then, a deafening roar erupted. As the White Cloud Cave disciple was about to strike Amona, a colossal creature surged from his body, and a massive wave slammed him away.

Chapter 165 Sky-Shooting Crossbow
Update Time: 8-6 18:50:41 Words: 3429

With a deafening roar, a giant wave rose from the sea, accompanied by a thunderous roar, and a gigantic monster emerged from the seabed. The spray it generated sent the White Cloud Cave disciple who had delivered the fatal blow to Amona flying.
Using the powerful wave, Amona suddenly gathered his last remaining strength and soared into the sky, leaping onto the monster's head. It turned out that this monster was a giant sea serpent, over three zhang thick and over twenty zhang long. With
the sea serpent monster floating on the surface, the small boat from White Cloud Cave was like a beetle, tossed about by the massive waves it created, on the verge of capsizing.
Master Yunji and his several disciples, already severely injured, were all thrown into the sea. The giant sea serpent demon, its eyes flashing like lightning, coiled around them like a rope and swallowed them whole.
Poor Master Yunji, after decades of cultivation, ended up being devoured by a demon beast. The disciple who had been thrown by the giant wave had just surfaced when he was caught by the sea serpent demon's tongue. As he struggled, the tongue tightened, its barbs tearing him to shreds.
"Father... Senior Brother..."
Inside the cabin, Yun Xin witnessed this horrific scene and cried out in grief. In her sorrow, she suddenly cursed the giant sea serpent in the language of the demon beast.
Hearing this, the giant sea serpent paused slightly, then roared, its massive tail rising from the surface and crashing heavily onto the ship with a giant wave.
Boom…
The ship was struck by the sea serpent and sent flying, its hull shimmering with spiritual light before it swayed and landed in the distance. However, this light quickly dimmed, clearly indicating it had lost its spiritual power.
The giant sea serpent's eyes flashed with lightning. Seeing that the ship hadn't been shattered by its massive tail, it was startled but enraged even more, its long tail lashing out at the ship
once more. The ship, empowered by Master Yunji's magic, had managed to withstand the sea serpent's attack, but it was now completely devoid of spiritual power and could no longer withstand the first heavy blow.
Yun Xin, though inside the ship, was disoriented by the impact and her head slammed heavily against the ship's bow, knocking her unconscious.
"Big worm, kill them all!"
The Beast Master Amona, sitting atop the sea serpent's head, was gathering his breath and, remembering how he had almost been killed by Master Yunji, roared angrily at the giant sea serpent.
The giant sea serpent's long tail slammed into the ship, but without the support of spiritual energy, the ship was pulverized by the gale-force winds and towering waves whipped up by the tail. The unconscious Yun Xin's lithe body was also swept away to the bottom of the abyss.
The gale-force winds and sharp waves raged wildly in this area. The appearance of the enormous sea serpent monster naturally alarmed Long Lin, who was sailing alone far away.
"Not good!"
Long Lin was startled as he looked at the huge black shadow of the monster rising from the distant sea and the towering waves. When he saw the ship in the White Cloud Cave capsized, even he, usually so calm, couldn't help but cry out.
A thought flashed through Long Lin's mind; he suddenly remembered the girl who had warned him. He murmured something and then sent a telepathic command, summoning his bronze avatar, Qin Hun. Qin Hun appeared before Long Lin in a golden light. Without waiting for Long Lin's instructions, it already knew his meaning. The advantage of an avatar is that they are connected by thought and can receive the master's commands at any time. Qin Hun smiled at Long Lin and said, "Master, Qin Hun will definitely do it!" Then he transformed into a golden light and plunged into the sea again.
At this moment, Long Lin knew that the demonic beast was powerful. If it were to attack him, he would probably suffer the same fate as the White Cloud Cave ship. He immediately channeled his spiritual power, urging the ebony boat to accelerate forward.
Long Lin knew that even at his fastest speed, he couldn't outrun the demonic beast in the sea, but he also understood that not far ahead of him was Qin Shi Huang's enormous Immortal-Seeking Ship. Only their giant ship could be a match for this demonic beast.
At this moment, Amona, perched high atop the giant sea serpent's head, had also spotted Long Lin's ebony boat. Ignoring his still-healing injuries, he sneered, "Long Lin, without the protection of those scum from White Cloud Cave, this time I, the Beast Master, will leave you without a burial place!" When
the two merfolk's ambush of Long Lin failed, Amona, upon learning that Yun Xin had relayed the order, naturally assumed that Long Lin and the cultivators of White Cloud Cave were now allies. It turned out that Yun Ji Zhenren's promise to allow him to ambush Long Lin was merely a delaying tactic.
"Big Worm, don't let that ebony boat escape!"
Amona patted the giant sea serpent's head, issuing commands in a strange voice.
The giant sea serpent, having devoured several ships and capsized another, was now in a state of excitement. Hearing Amona's command, it hissed and swiftly pursued the ebony boat.
Its massive size made it practically the overlord of the sea, and its speed was incredibly fast. In just two leaps, its head was already close to Long Lin's ebony boat.
Long Lin chuckled and shouted back, "Alright... if you're not afraid of death, come and chase me!" He instantly accelerated, and the ebony boat, like a shooting star, once again distanced itself from the sea serpent.
Amona was enraged. This sea serpent was summoned by him through a blood pact, meaning he had to feed it with his own magical blood to make it obey his commands. Amona had gone all out this time; if he didn't kill Long Lin, how could he face Zhao Gao?
The giant sea serpent roared and shook its head at Amona. This sea serpent was quite intelligent; it realized the human was propelling the ebony boat with incredible speed, making it no easy opponent. So, it used this as an opportunity to demand something from Amona.
"Beast!"
Amona cursed inwardly. Gritting its teeth, it sat on the giant sea serpent's head, slashing its own arm, letting the blood flow into the serpent's gaping maw.
Having absorbed Amona's magical essence, the giant sea serpent cried out joyfully and charged forward.
In a chase, the ebony boat of Longlin ahead, and the sea serpent demons commanded by Amona behind, quickly approached Qin Shi Huang and Xu Fu's immortal-seeking ship.
"Report! A demonic fish is chasing us!"
A strong Qin soldier ran onto the deck and reported to Qin Shi Huang and Xu Fu.
Both were startled and looked back at the ship. Sure enough, amidst the rolling waves, a giant fish with a snake's head, almost the size of the immortal-seeking ship, was charging towards them.
Xu Fu asked, "Master, what should we do?"
Qin Shi Huang remained unfazed, chuckling, "I came here specifically to find it. Since it has delivered itself to our doorstep, we won't stand on ceremony! Leave everything to me. Issue my decree: activate the Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbow!"
"Yes!"
a subordinate immediately replied.
At this moment, the straw mat covering the stern of the Immortal-Seeking Ship was lifted, revealing two enormous repeating crossbow carts. Ten strong Qin soldiers carried over several beam-like crossbow bolts and mounted them onto the crossbows.
These giant crossbows were called the Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbows, weapons Qin Shi Huang had specially prepared to deal with sea monsters. The entire machine consisted of three main spring-loaded crossbow mechanisms, capable of shooting these beam-like crossbow bolts ten miles away with unparalleled accuracy and terrifying power.
The hundreds of Qin soldiers were specially trained for the Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbows and were highly skilled in operating them. Even Xu Fu and his companions couldn't help but secretly admire Qin Shi Huang's boldness as they watched the bolts being loaded.
Only then did everyone realize that the crossbow bolts were forged with countless barbs, each engraved with demon-suppressing inscriptions. These inscriptions gleamed golden in the sunlight, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Excellent! With this Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbow, even the most powerful demonic beasts are no longer a threat!"
Xu Fu exclaimed, clapping his hands in praise. These demonic beasts were powerful not only because they possessed magical abilities but also formidable innate strength. Such power was difficult to subdue with magical force alone, requiring divine power of equal strength. Even Xu Fu, who had one foot in the immortal realm, felt powerless against the colossal creatures of the sea. However, with the Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbow, their courage was naturally renewed.
However, due to the high winds and rough seas, the group failed to notice that the enormous demonic beast wasn't charging at them but chasing a small boat. They mistakenly assumed this was a provocation from the beast.
"Repeating crossbowmen, aim at the monster!"
With the creaking of the bowstrings and gears, massive crossbow bolts were already nocked. Hundreds of crossbowmen controlled the Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbows, their arrows aimed at the leaping sea serpent monster.
Amona had thought this would be enough to tear Long Lin to shreds, but unexpectedly, two enormous ships suddenly appeared before him, and the crossbows on them were astonishing.
He gasped, hastily trying to order the sea serpents to sink, but the giant sea serpents, having just devoured his magical essence, were in a frenzy and didn't care whether the giant ships were going to attack him; they simply roared and charged forward.
Qin Shi Huang narrowed his eyes, staring at the approaching monster, and suddenly coldly commanded, "Sky-Shooting Repeating Crossbows, fire!"
With a whoosh, the bowstrings snapped open, followed by a deafening whistling sound. The Sky-Shooting Crossbow bolts burst forth with a blinding golden light, shooting towards the giant sea serpent on the surface of the sea.
"Haha... Qin Shi Huang was indeed prepared. It seems I wasn't wrong this time!"
Long Lin steadied the ebony boat, hiding in the waves, and smiled smugly. He knew Qin Shi Huang would make preparations before going to sea, and this time he had naturally lured him into a trap, helping him out of his predicament.
"Big worm, dodge quickly!"
Amona, weakened by his magic, dared not be reckless when the arrow came flying. He cried out loudly from the sea serpent's head. However, the sea serpent was already very close to the Immortal Seeking Ship and had no time to dodge. In a flash of golden light, the thick crossbow bolt struck the sea serpent's belly like a withered branch.
"Hiss..."
The sea serpent let out a miserable cry, its body spinning rapidly on the sea, instantly stirring up huge waves, causing even the giant Immortal Seeking Ship to violently rock.
Qin Shi Huang glanced at Xu Fu, then turned and ordered, "Repeating crossbows, fire again!"
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Two more massive arrows shot out, striking the sea serpent in the head and neck with a single strike. Its body tumbled in the water, throwing Amona far into the deep sea.
The waves whipped up by the sea serpent were like a storm, sinking Long Lin's ebony boat and tossing it far away. Fortunately, Long Lin was prepared and had used his spiritual power to protect the ebony boat, remaining calmly seated in the cabin as the seawater pounded against him. Just then, a golden light flashed across the seabed, grazing the belly of the sea serpent monster before landing beside the ebony boat.
In a flash, the bronze-clad avatar Qin Hun appeared in the cabin, holding a young woman who had fainted in his arms, and a bright pearl in his other hand.
The bead wasn't an ordinary pearl; it was as clear and translucent as glass, and inside it, a small sea snake swam lifelike.

Chapter 166 Beautiful Young Girl
Update Time: 8-8 8:54:40 Words: 3433

On the floor of the cabin, a young woman's pale, slender fingers twitched slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, looking around at everything.
The young man who had been watching over her leaned forward, adjusting the blanket covering her, and said, "Miss Chu, you're awake?"
"Brother Long..."
The young woman's eyes lit up when she saw the person before her, and she exclaimed in surprise.
This young man was naturally Long Lin, and the young woman was Chu Yunxin, who had been rescued by his avatar, the bronze figure.
Long Lin nodded and said, "Don't speak, your injuries haven't healed yet!"
Yun Xin shook her head, a slight smile on her beautiful face, and said, "Brother Long, I'm fine. Did you save me?"
Long Lin looked at her simple, pretty, and lovable face, sighed, and said, "I was too late. It's a pity about your father and your senior brothers..."
Yun Xin looked at Long Lin, thinking of her father and senior brothers who had been killed by Amona and the sea serpent monster, and tears of sadness gradually welled up in her eyes.
"Miss Chu, Amona and the demon beast are dead. We've avenged them!"
Seeing Yun Xin's tearful face, Long Lin felt a pang of heartache. He comforted her, told her to rest, and then left the cabin.
Meanwhile, the two Qin Emperor's Immortal-Seeking Ships had already separated, one heading east and the other north. Long Lin, of course, was unaware of this. After killing the sea serpent demon beast, the Qin Emperor had completed his mission of escorting Xu Fu on his quest for immortality and returned to Qin. Xu Fu's vast eastward sea voyage had only just begun. Long Lin
remembered the bead Qin Hun had brought back when he rescued Chu Yun Xin. He took it out of his magic pouch and examined it. A small sea serpent seemed to be swimming within the transparent bead, appearing almost alive. He was intrigued, but didn't know what it was.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly and took the bead into the cabin. As a beast master, Chu Yun Xin should know what this was, right?
Chu Yun Xin had already sat up. She was originally a Taoist practitioner, and since she hadn't suffered any serious injuries, she recovered quickly. However, due to the shock and grief of losing her loved ones, her face still showed a slight haggardness and paleness.
Seeing Long Lin enter, Chu Yunxin hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled slightly at him, saying, "Brother Long..." At this moment, she couldn't help but notice the bead in Long Lin's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "A demon beast egg? Where did it come from?"
Long Lin walked over, held the bead in front of Yunxin, and asked, "Miss Chu, do you know what this is?"
Chu Yunxin nodded and said, "This is a demon beast egg. It looks like it should hatch soon..." Suddenly, her expression turned somewhat grim, and she said, "Brother Long Lin, this is from that demon beast..."
Long Lin nodded and said, "Yes, it was found inside the belly of that sea serpent demon beast. I don't know why I brought it back. By the way, that sea serpent demon beast is our enemy. Since this is its egg, let's destroy it to prevent it from harming people later!" With that, Long Lin walked out.
"Brother Long, wait!"
Chu Yunxin hurriedly called out.
Long Lin turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Chu?"
Chu Yunxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Long, not all demonic beasts are harmful. The one that killed my father and senior brothers was actually controlled by that villain Amona. So my enemy isn't this demonic beast, but Amona. This little demonic beast is about to be born and will be a sentient being. I think we should keep it!"
"What a kind girl!"
Long Lin was deeply moved, and his goodwill towards Chu Yunxin deepened. He immediately smiled and said, "Alright, since Miss Chu thinks so, how about I give you this demonic beast egg?"
"Really?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yunxin's eyes, and she hurriedly asked, still somewhat disbelieving.
"Of course it's true! I don't understand the language of demonic beasts, and I can't take care of this one. Miss Chu is exceptionally talented and is the master of this demonic beast."
Long Lin smiled.
Chu Yunxin looked at Long Lin and said, "Brother Long, you don't know that all spirit beasts have the instinct to recognize a master from birth. The first person they see after birth will be their master, and they will serve him to the death, never betraying him. Brother Long, are you really willing to give me such a precious treasure?"
Long Lin thought to himself, this little girl is still too naive, unaware of the dangers of the world. Fortunately, she met me; if she had encountered someone with ulterior motives, she would probably have suffered a great loss. He then smiled and said, "What is a mere spirit beast? Miss Chu, please accept it; it's a small way of repaying your kindness in saving me."
"Brother Long... you're so kind!"
Chu Yunxin gazed at Long Lin adoringly and said. As soon as the words left her mouth, she couldn't help but blush and lower her head.
Long Lin smiled knowingly and placed the bead in Chu Yunxin's hand, saying, "Alright, are you hungry? I have some food here!"
Actually, with Long Lin's current abilities, he could go without food or water for dozens of days on this vast ocean without any problem. Besides, if he wanted to eat, there were plenty of fish and shrimp in the sea. However, he had brought some dry rations on the way here and kept them in his lucky bag in case of emergency. He took them out and handed them to Chu Yunxin.
"Brother Long, please don't call me Miss Chu anymore, just call me Xin'er!"
Chu Yunxin said with a sweet smile. She hadn't misjudged him; he was a good person, and Chu Yunxin didn't regret saving him.
"By the way, Xin'er, what are your plans?"
Long Lin asked, seeing that Yunxin had eaten her fill.
Chu Yunxin sighed and said, "Now that my father and fellow disciples are all dead, I'm all alone. If Brother Long would take me in, I'd be willing to follow you to the ends of the earth."
Long Lin pondered for a moment, thinking that Yunxin was simple-minded and her magical cultivation was not high. He was extremely worried about sending her back alone, but the vast sea was fraught with danger, and how could he ensure her safety?
Chu Yunxin was also a kind and intelligent person, and naturally saw Long Lin's hesitation. She immediately said, "Brother Long, don't worry, I won't hold you back. Besides, I know animal language, and I might be able to help you a lot on this sea." After speaking, she looked at Long Lin expectantly with her bright eyes.
"Alright!"
Long Lin finally nodded in agreement, and after a moment's thought, he added, "However, the sea is dangerous. If anything happens, you must listen to me and stay in the cabin."
"Okay, I will definitely listen to Brother Long!"
Chu Yunxin hurriedly nodded and said. Being with Long Lin gave her a sense of security and peace she had never felt before.
Long Lin hung a curtain in the cabin for Chu Yunxin to rest. Although they were both cultivators and didn't observe worldly etiquette, the separation of men and women made it somewhat awkward for a lone man and woman to be alone in a room.
Moreover, Long Lin could naturally see the affection in Chu Yunxin's eyes as she looked at him. After settling everything, he called Chu Yunxin to the bow of the boat and said, "Xin'er, I suddenly thought of something. What do you think?"
Chu Yunxin was moved, a hint of coquettishness on her beautiful face, and asked, "What is it, Brother Long? Please tell me."
"Alright!"
Long Lin pondered, "Xin'er, I, Long Lin, am an orphan, always alone, without any relatives. Meeting you this time feels especially warm."
Hearing this, Chu Yunxin's heart leaped into her throat, her face burning. In truth, she had already fallen in love with Long Lin at first sight; how could she not be excited by his words?
"How about we become sworn siblings?"
Long Lin said.
Hearing this, Chu Yunxin felt a slight disappointment, but then her joy returned. As long as she could be with him, that was enough. She smiled and said, "Brother Long, we're already siblings!"
Seeing Chu Yunxin agree, Long Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps this would dispel the little girl's unrealistic hopes! He smiled and said, "Alright, from today onwards, Xin'er is my dear sister, Long Lin's sister!"
"Brother..."
Chu Yunxin called out sweetly, throwing herself into Long Lin's arms, saying, "Brother, Xin'er will never leave you again."
Long Lin hadn't expected Chu Yunxin to be so affectionate. Holding her fragrant, soft body, he felt a surge of emotion, but then his heart calmed down. He thought to himself that they were already siblings, and he shouldn't have any special thoughts. He then chuckled and playfully pinched Chu Yunxin's small nose, saying, "Okay, but you can't be naughty in the future, or I'll spank you!"
"Hmph..."
Nestled in Long Lin's arms, Chu Yunxin tilted her rosy, pretty face up and said, "I'm a grown woman now, brother, you can't do this!"
"Alright..."
Long Lin chuckled, instantly feeling the previous ambiguous atmosphere on the ebony boat vanish, replaced by a warm, gentle familial affection.
"By the way, Yunxin, what kind of cultivation technique do you practice?"
Long Lin asked.
Chu Yunxin sighed and said, "To be honest, brother, although our White Cloud Cave is a cultivation sect, I don't know any cultivation techniques. From childhood, my father simply taught me to cultivate my inner energy and improve my physical fitness."
"How could that be?"
Long Lin asked. No wonder she was powerless to protect herself against Amona and the demon beast on that ship.
Chu Yunxin shook her head and said, "I don't know either, it's just that Father won't teach me, and my senior brothers won't teach me either..."
Long Lin thought for a moment and said, "Xin'er, alright, from today onwards I will teach you cultivation techniques!"
Chu Yunxin's eyes lit up and she said, "That's great! I will definitely study hard and become as powerful as you in the future!"
Long Lin smiled, thinking that teaching this little girl cultivation techniques would at least give her some self-defense capabilities, so he wouldn't have to worry too much about her in the future.
"However, brother, I still want to become a Beast Master."
Chu Yunxin thought for a moment and then said.
Long Lin knew what it meant to be a Beast Master. Being able to control powerful demonic beasts for one's own use would give one a status in the entire cultivation world that ordinary people wouldn't dare to look down upon. After all, even with the strongest magic power, it would be difficult to withstand the attacks of powerful demonic beasts. Long Lin had personally witnessed the strength of Amona. One of them was in the Imperial Observatory, controlling that bull-like monster to attack Shangguan Tuyun, and even the Holy Maiden of Prayer and Rite, who possessed divine power, was no match for him. One example is that on this sea, he was able to command a giant sea serpent to annihilate the entire Baiyun Cave Daoist sect. If it weren't for Qin Huang's help, he himself would probably have perished in the belly of that monster.
"Alright... However, becoming a Beast Master isn't so easy. For now, you need to cultivate my Azure Wood Technique. We'll find
another cultivation method for becoming a Beast Master when we have the chance!" Long Lin said after thinking for a moment. He didn't mention the Willpower and Strength Scriptures to Chu Yunxin. Besides, with his current understanding of the Willpower and Strength Scriptures, he could already fuse them together to form a simple introductory-level cultivation method. Although its power was much weaker than the Willpower and Strength Scriptures, it was still much stronger than ordinary cultivation methods. He named this method the Azure Wood Technique.
After all, the Willpower and Strength Scriptures were bestowed upon the Azure Emperor, and the Azure Emperor's token was the Azure Wood Token, so naming the method after it was appropriate.

Chapter 167 The Sea Serpent King
Update Time: 8-8 8:56:52 Words: 3643

Unbeknownst to them, Long Lin and Chu Yunxin had been adrift at sea for over a month. Xu Fu's immortal-seeking ship had already sailed far away, its whereabouts unknown. Long Lin still hadn't found the immortal island with the Resurrection Grass.
The nautical chart was spread out in the cabin, and every day, besides maintaining their course, Long Lin would lie on the chart searching for island after island. Over the past few days, they had found several islands, but to no avail.
Chu Yunxin was focused on the hatching of the sea serpent egg while searching for sea monsters and the whereabouts of the immortal island with the Resurrection Grass.
"Brother, come quickly!"
Long Lin was currently checking the wind direction at the bow. Continuing eastward for three days in this direction should lead them to the next unnamed island marked on the nautical chart. At this moment, Chu Yunxin called out from inside the cabin.
"It's here!"
Long Lin replied, a slight smile appearing on his face. Chu Yunxin had said that the sea serpent demon beast should hatch within the next two days, and judging from her excited exclamation, it must have hatched.
Long Lin entered the cabin and, sure enough, saw Yunxin standing there smiling, holding a crystal-clear bead in her snow-white jade palm. A crisp cracking sound came from the bead, and several cracks spread across its surface.
Inside the transparent shell, the small sea serpent, noticeably larger than before, was vigorously flapping its tail, trying to smash the shell open.
"Shh!"
Just as Long Lin was about to speak, Chu Yunxin gave him a look, signaling him to be quiet. So Long Lin went closer and watched the sea serpent hatch with Yunxin.
After waiting a short while, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the small sea serpent finally smashed open the bead, wriggling its little head as it crawled out of the shell and immediately fell into Chu Yunxin's hand. Its small eyes first looked at Chu Yunxin, then at Long Lin, before suddenly raising its head and hissing.
This sea snake, like its mother, was gray, but it had a single, crystalline red horn on its head, and its pupils were like two bright rubies.
"Brother, this is a precious one-horned sea snake, a naturally spiritual beast!"
Chu Yunxin winked at Long Lin and said with a smile.
"Good… the little sea snake is born. As its owner, you should name it!" Long Lin laughed.
Chu Yunxin stroked the little sea snake's back, pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother, look how cute it is, all gray! Let's call it Little Gray!"
"Little Gray?"
Long Lin chuckled and said, "Good name, Little Gray!"
Chu Yunxin blushed at Long Lin's praise, then suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "I almost forgot, this little sea snake needs to live in seawater after it's born!" Saying this, she picked up Little Gray and ran out of the cabin.
Long Lin smiled, shook his head slightly, and followed her out of the cabin. This was the first time he'd seen Chu Yunxin like this in days.
At this moment, Chu Yunxin was already standing by the ship's bow, releasing the small sea snake into the water. There was no wind, the sky was a clear blue, and the sea surface was only rippling with tiny waves. The small sea snake swam happily as soon as it entered the water.
"Xin'er, aren't you afraid Little Gray will run away and not come back?"
Long Lin asked with a smile.
Chu Yunxin raised her pretty face and confidently smiled, "Brother, don't worry. This little sea snake has already recognized me as its master. Even if you chase it away, it won't run away!"
"That's good!" Long Lin agreed.
Chu Yunxin turned to look at the small sea snake, but inwardly sighed. She knew that Long Lin liked her, but only saw her as a younger sister, not the kind of relationship she wanted. However, even as a sister, she wanted to be with him for life, just like the little sea snake had been with her.
The little sea serpent entered the sea. Though small, it held its head high, swimming slowly and steadily on the surface, like a king surveying his own territory, naturally exuding an aura of supreme authority.
"Roar..."
The red horn on the little sea serpent's head suddenly flashed red, and it let out a long cry.
Long Lin didn't think much of it, but Chu Yunxin's face instantly turned serious. The little sea serpent darted forward, already swimming more than three zhang away from the bow of the boat.
"Little Gray, come back!"
Chu Yunxin called out urgently.
"Xin'er, what's wrong?"
Long Lin also sensed something was amiss and hurriedly asked Chu Yunxin.
"I don't know either. I couldn't understand what Little Gray's cry meant!"
Chu Yunxin said in surprise. Her expression had changed drastically because of that strange sound. Before that, she could understand almost all the languages of demonic beasts, but she had no idea what that cry meant.
The sea serpent, Little Grey, swam in front of the ebony boat, its red horns flashing with an eerie light, like a signal, or perhaps…
Long Lin frowned and said to Chu Yunxin, “Xin’er, be careful!”
Chu Yunxin nodded, and both of them took a step back. Long Lin had already secretly circulated his inner energy, crimson true energy faintly shimmering throughout his body.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the far reaches of the sea. The sound was like thunder, or like the roar of rolling waves, but there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, nor a storm.
“Brother, what is that?”
Chu Yunxin pointed to the black shadow appearing on the horizon, asking in fear.
Long Lin shook his head solemnly; even with his eyesight, he couldn’t make out what the black shadow from the far distance was. However, he believed it was definitely not an ordinary thing. He
turned his gaze back to the sea serpent, Little Grey. The red tentacles on Little Grey’s head were flashing faster and faster, like a red alarm light.
"Little Grey, come back!"
Chu Yunxin called out to the sea snake, Little Grey. But Little Grey, standing in front of the ebony boat, ignored her and remained motionless.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Chu Yunxin asked Long Lin anxiously.
"Xin'er, don't worry... wait and see!"
Long Lin said to Chu Yunxin.
At this moment, the black floating shadows on the horizon drew closer and closer. With Long Lin's eyesight, he could see that it wasn't a single object, but many, densely packed.
As those things got closer, Little Grey let out several strange roars, and the light on its red horn flashed faster and faster, almost becoming a bright red light.
"What is Little Grey summoning?"
Yunxin suddenly seemed to realize something and said abruptly.
Long Lin nodded, because he also saw that those floating objects approaching from afar were indeed huge sea beasts.
As the sea beasts drew closer, a strong wind arose around the ebony boat. Long Lin had to use his inner energy to create a protective shield on the ebony boat to withstand the onslaught of the wind and waves.
Little Gray suddenly became excited, circling about ten feet in front of the ebony boat, occasionally letting out a cry.
At this moment, the sea beasts in the distance could be clearly seen; they were actually sea snakes, enormous in size, forming a small mountain when joined together, swimming in dense, close-knit groups. Their roars could be heard from afar.
"Is Little Gray their king?"
Chu Yunxin finally understood the meaning of their roars and exclaimed in surprise.
Long Lin was also taken aback, not expecting this little sea snake to have such a high status. However, given the unclear situation, he didn't relax his vigilance, firmly protecting Chu Yunxin on the ebony boat, fearing any unexpected events.
"Roar..."
The sea snakes lined up in an orderly fashion and stopped in front of Little Gray. Little Gray grew even more excited amidst the wind and waves; the raging, unrestrained waves seemed to have no effect on it, and it remained steadily atop the crest of the waves.
Little Gray's strange cry subsided, eliciting another roar from the sea beasts. This time, the sea snakes raised their heads and then lowered them again, seemingly bowing in worship to Little Gray.
Chu Yunxin turned to Long Lin, her eyes gleaming with surprise, and said, "Brother, Little Gray is indeed extraordinary."
Long Lin nodded. Although he couldn't understand the sea snakes' language, he could see their respect for Little Gray.
After a while, Little Gray suddenly let out a strange roar and swam back, reaching the ebony boat before leaping high into Chu Yunxin's arms. Its two red eyes looked at Chu Yunxin, then at the sea snakes, and then it cried out a few times.
The sea beasts bowed to Chu Yunxin in unison, emitting a thunderous yet seemingly gentle roar.
"Xin'er, what are they saying?"
Long Lin asked Chu Yunxin.
Chu Yunxin seemed stunned by this unbelievable scene, only recovering when Long Lin asked her a question. She then explained to him, "They are a group of sea snakes from this ocean, and Little Gray is their chief. Because Little Gray has recognized me as his master, these sea snakes are so respectful to me."
Long Lin smiled and said, "I see, that's wonderful!"
"Yes, I'll ask them if they know the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass!"
Chu Yunxin said with a smile, turning to speak, when a furious roar came from the group of sea snakes, and a creature significantly larger than the others leaped out.
Hearing the roar, Little Gray, who was in Chu Yunxin's arms, suddenly became uneasy, leaping up and floating back to the surface, chirping twice at the giant sea snake.
"Brother, this is bad!"
Chu Yunxin's face instantly darkened as she said to Long Lin, "That sea serpent is named Xiduo. It doesn't acknowledge me as Xiao Hui's master. It says humans are evil because they killed their queen."
Long Lin's heart also sank. Clearly, what Xiduo was referring to was the story of Qin Shi Huang killing the sea serpent with the Sky-Shooting Crossbow.
At this moment, Xiao Hui was raising its head, the light on its red horns flashing rapidly. It growled continuously, seemingly talking to the sea serpent.
Chu Yunxin suddenly stepped forward and said a series of strange words.
The sea serpent named Xiduo suddenly growled again and broke away from the swarm, swimming into the depths of the sea. Soon after, the other sea serpents also dispersed.
Xiao Hui jumped back into Chu Yunxin's arms, its two red eyes darting uneasily between Yunxin and Long Lin.
Chu Yunxin sighed softly, stroking the little sea snake's head, and said to Long Lin, "Brother, that sea snake named Xiduo has betrayed them and escaped. He wields immense power within the sea snake tribe, and he says he will return with his men to destroy us. They refuse to be slaves to these evil humans."
Long Lin smiled upon hearing this. What exactly happened? A rebellion by the demon beast tribe? He pondered for a moment and said, "Xin'er, what should we do now?"
Yunxin was somewhat agitated and said, "Brother, we must help Xiao Hui. Although Xiao Hui is their tribe's king, his power is still very weak. If Xiduo really rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now, the sea snakes supporting Xiao Hui have already contacted other sea snake tribes, hoping to stop Xiduo. They hope we can protect Xiao Hui."
Long Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if none of this had happened, we would still protect its safety."
Xiao Hui seemed to understand Long Lin's words, raising its head and barking a few times at him, as if thanking him. Chu Yunxin smiled and said, "Little Grey is thanking you!"
Long Lin smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? You're my sister's demon beast, of course I won't let anything happen to you!"
"By the way, brother, although those sea snakes don't know the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass, they said there's a Misty Sail Island a hundred miles southeast of here, shrouded in white mist all year round. Perhaps that's the place we're looking for." At this moment, Chu Yunxin added.
Long Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go there!"

Chapter 168 Misty Island Phoenix Chick
Update Time: 8-10 8:58:18 Words: 3169

The ebony boat sailed forward along the predetermined route. After more than twenty days of sailing, it finally saw the giant island shrouded in white mist in the distance.
To the sea serpents, this island was a small island, but to Long Lin and the others, it was a giant island. Several mountains stretched across the island, their shadowy outlines suggesting a considerable size.
"Brother, this is the island. Should we go up now?"
Chu Yunxin asked.
Long Lin glanced at the island, seeing it shrouded in mist and obscuring everything, and after a moment's thought, said, "Xin'er, you and Xiao Hui wait here for me. I'll go scout it out first. If there's no danger, you can come up!"
"Brother, I want to go with you!"
Chu Yunxin exclaimed. Xiao Hui, its red eyes fixed on Long Lin, hissed twice, seemingly wanting to join him.
Long Lin smiled and said, "The situation on the island is unclear right now; we can't risk it. Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" With that, he leaped out of the cabin and strode towards the island. Passing
through the misty white fog, Long Lin landed on the soft sandy beach. Only then did he realize that the island was surrounded by towering mountains and lush trees, a hidden paradise.
He decided to climb one of the mountains first to see the entire island before returning. With that thought, he channeled his inner energy and moved towards the summit with lightning speed.
However, just as he reached the halfway point, Long Lin suddenly heard a strange cry from the summit. He stood on a large rock and looked up. He saw a five-colored glow appear on the summit, and within that glow, a huge five-colored phoenix faintly emerged.
"I never expected such a spiritual creature to exist on this desolate island. The Rejuvenating Grass is also a spiritual herb, growing in places of spiritual energy; perhaps it really does grow on this island!"
Long Lin was secretly delighted and immediately lay down beneath the large rock, quietly observing the five-colored phoenix's movements.
The five-colored light atop the mountain was dazzling. Within the radiance, a phoenix stretched its neck and cried out, its enormous and beautiful wings, over three zhang long, unfurled. Its red beak opened, seemingly devouring the white mist rising from the mountain.
Just then, a bowstring twanged, and a beam of light shot from afar. Long Lin was startled; if the phoenix was unprepared, it would surely be struck by the sharp arrow.
However, the phoenix suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of crimson flame, incinerating the arrow. It then spread its wings, ready to take flight.
"Go! Don't let it get away!"
Several sharp shouts rang out, and several figures suddenly leaped up from the foot of the mountain, each dressed in snow-white robes, wielding gleaming swords. Sword light crisscrossed as they thrust towards the five-colored phoenix.
Long Lin, hiding behind a large rock, calmly observed these white-clad figures, secretly admiring their superb swordsmanship. Their movements were also quite agile, darting and leaping. Wherever their swords shone, stone shattered and wood cracked. The five-colored phoenix couldn't dodge in time, and its tail was struck by two swords, its beautiful feathers mingled with drops of blood.
The five-colored phoenix let out a cry, flapping its wings and spewing out several streams of flame from its mouth to intercept the white-clad men. At the same time, it slashed at one of the white-clad men wielding a sword with its claws.
With a clang, the five-colored phoenix's sharp claws sliced through the man's sword, breaking it in two upon impact. Fortunately, the man was quick enough to leap backward, avoiding being disemboweled, but the sharp claws tore a chunk of flesh from his shoulder. His face turned pale instantly.
"Third Senior Brother!"
the others cried out in alarm, each grabbing their swords and rushing to his aid. One of them grumbled, "That damned phoenix chick! How could they treat it like this!"
However, the man who had just been called the third senior brother seized the opportunity to leap back a few steps, escaping danger. The fear on his face vanished instantly, and he laughed, "Hmph... if this phoenix chick were so easy to deal with, it wouldn't be called an ancient spirit bird! Junior brothers, give it your all! If we capture this phoenix chick, we'll definitely win first place in this sword-testing tournament!" Ignoring his shoulder injury, he swiftly drew another sword from his back.
This sword was many times stronger than the one he used before, its movement like a clear, flowing stream of water.
"Phoenix chick, I'll let you taste the power of this Autumn Water Sword!"
he said, feigning a thrust before pouncing towards the colorful phoenix. The others also drew their swords and charged towards the five-colored phoenix.
The five-colored phoenix let out a sharp cry, seemingly quite wary of the Autumn Water Sword in the hands of these men. It flapped its wings, dodging and weaving, its sharp claws constantly deflecting the other ordinary swords.
Suddenly, the five-colored phoenix let out a miserable cry. Its left wing had been pierced by the Autumn Water Sword, and its long wings immediately went limp; it was injured.
Seeing that he had succeeded in one move, the third senior brother became even more excited, shouting wildly, "Catch this phoenix chick!" He completely ignored the white-clad man who had been knocked down among the rocks by the phoenix's sharp claws, and lunged forward again with his sword drawn.
The five-colored phoenix let out mournful cries, seemingly calling for help, but it was already enveloped by the sword light, its left wing injured, and its movements no longer agile. It seemed unlikely it could break through the encirclement.
Long Lin observed the phoenix, then smiled slightly and silently summoned the bronze figure Qin Hun. Qin Hun nodded to Long Lin and transformed into a golden light, rushing towards the mountaintop.
The third senior brother, wielding the Autumn Water Sword, didn't even have time to react before being swept away by Qin Hun's palm, tumbling down the mountain. The others were also struck by the five-colored phoenix's powerful wings, stumbling and fleeing on the ground. Seeing that their third senior brother was injured, they all lost their will to fight.
"Go!"
The third senior brother got up from the ground, his once spotless white robes now disheveled. Seeing the situation was bad, he roared and quickly fled down the mountain.
In just a few breaths, the white-robed youths had also disappeared without a trace.
Qin Hun stood on the mountaintop and glanced at the five-colored phoenix. The five-colored phoenix also looked at Qin Hun, then suddenly knelt down and chirped softly to him.
A smile appeared on Qin Hun's face, and he transformed into a golden light, shooting towards Long Lin, who was walking towards the mountaintop, and walked up the mountain with him.
The five-colored phoenix was already sentient and seemed to know that Long Lin would not harm it. Instead, it affectionately leaned closer to Long Lin and lowered its head.
Long Lin glanced at the five-colored phoenix's injuries. Apart from the sword wound on its left wing, it was not seriously injured. Long Lin then channeled his inner energy, and a faint crimson light appeared on his palm.
The five-colored phoenix seemed startled at the sight of the crimson light, but then let out a soft cry and obediently lowered its body, allowing Long Lin to cover its left wing wound with the crimson true energy.
Long Lin's crimson true energy was the Power Scripture True Energy, which not only possessed immense strength but also had excellent healing properties. His body could heal itself thanks to this Power Scripture True Energy.
The crimson true energy covered the wound and slowly seeped into the five-colored phoenix's body. Before long, the five-colored phoenix's wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the wound was completely healed, and its left wing flapped powerfully twice, fully restored to its original robust state.
Long Lin stroked the five-colored phoenix's head, which had two crimson feathers, and smiled. The five-colored phoenix shook its head, affectionately rubbing against Long Lin's hand, seemingly enjoying his touch.
"Let's go... it's not safe here!"
Long Lin said with a smile, stroking the phoenix's head. It seemed this colorful phoenix was indeed just a fledgling. He remembered that adult phoenixes had nine colors in their feathers, were hundreds of feet long, could fly through the heavens, and their voices could be heard for miles around. Moreover, even immortals dared not easily provoke them, let alone these insignificant creatures.
The little phoenix flapped its wings and nuzzled affectionately against Long Lin, seemingly unwilling to leave.
Long Lin looked eastward and saw a plain stretching out below the distant mountains. Within the plain lay what appeared to be a city. He knew those people who had suffered a loss wouldn't let it go and would likely return with reinforcements. Therefore
, it was best for them to leave as soon as possible. Long Lin put Qin Hun into his Ruyi Pouch, patted the little phoenix's head, and headed down the mountain.
"Help..."
Suddenly, a woman's cry for help came from afar.
Long Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "Oh no!" He quickly hurried down the mountain. Judging from the voice, it was Chu Yunxin's cry for help; she must be in danger. Long
Lin now regretted not leaving Qin Hun behind to protect them. Just then, the little phoenix let out a long cry and suddenly took flight, following Long Lin down the mountain.
Reaching the bottom, they saw the ebony boat moored on the beach. On the sand were signs of a struggle and bloodstains. But Chu Yunxin was nowhere to be seen.
On the beach, a jumble of footprints, several people's, remained pointing eastward.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the footprints, Long Lin couldn't help but worry for Chu Yunxin. Although she had made some progress in her Green Wood Technique these past few days, she was no match for those skilled white-clad swordsmen from before. He cursed inwardly and immediately followed the footprints.
A clear cry rang out, and a five-colored phoenix flew over from afar, closely following Long Lin, never leaving his side.
After chasing along the beach for a while, the footprints disappeared. Long Lin stood where the footprints had vanished, his brows furrowed tightly. He could already see the city in the distance.
With his eyesight, he could clearly see a group of white-clad men carrying Chu Yunxin into the city. The heavy city gate slowly closed.
Long Lin gritted his teeth and walked step by step towards the city walls. "Dare to touch my family, Long Lin! I will make you pay a bloody price!"
Just now, Long Lin had rescued the five-colored phoenix, and he already harbored no goodwill towards those white-clad men. But now they had even captured a woman, which was truly infuriating.
"Yay..."
The five-colored phoenix flew closely behind, letting out a cry as it looked at the city. Its feathers stood on end, clearly showing its own fury.
Long Lin looked at the three large red characters written above the city—"Mist Sail City."
