A familiar golden light flashed through, and the golden leaves and transparent beads disappeared one after another.
Chen Ren raised his hand and grabbed the corpse, and a ball of light about the size of an egg with a burning flame floated out.
"Hey, it's rare to see a soul wrapped in flames."
He touched the light ball lightly with his finger, and the light ball disappeared instantly. The flames burning outside did not make him feel any warmth.
"Ding, get fuel 4964."
"It's a pity that the cloud beast's soul cannot be absorbed." He glanced at the large sea of bright red clouds not far from the dock and sighed.
As for the souls of those sailors, they have sunk to the bottom of the sea and are not worth salvaging.
The Adventure quickly drove over from the dock. Fortunately, the ship was small and did not become the target of the cloud pirates.
Chen Ren took out the purple shadow shell from his arms, and with a click, the image of the head was recorded inside the shell.
"Get on the boat" Yiyi maneuvered the boat and swung its tail, and the boat docked steadily next to the wooden plank.
…
"Master Yi, you really love your disciples like your own children. You use such a big contribution to pave the way for your disciples." Mayor Ma stood in front of Ivan with a compliment on his face.
"I have long heard that you love this apprentice very much, and it turns out that it is true today." He didn't notice Ivan's depressed expression at all when he was flattering him.
At this time, the Adventure had docked. After seeing Chen Ren disembarking, he immediately went straight to Chen Ren. How can compliments only be given to the messenger? The beneficiaries also need to be complimented.
"Haha, Master Chen is so powerful that he killed that cloud thief with one strike. Don't worry, I will report your killing of that monster to the alliance. Congratulations in advance on your promotion." He complimented and congratulated Chen Ren, but he did it.
Chen Ren felt uncomfortable all over, after all, everyone present knew what was going on.
"Then thank you Mayor Ma for your support. Master and I still have some things to say, so we'll go back first." Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still said a few words in return.
After watching the three people leave, Mayor Ma said to the leather-clad men behind him: "Send the video back to the headquarters. Don't mention today's matter to outsiders."
"Ivan, it seems that you really can't leave Fenyun Island..."
The atmosphere on the road was a bit dull, and there was still no pedestrian on the street. It was not until the three of them returned to the inner hall of the martial arts hall that the atmosphere eased.
Ivan glanced at his apprentice and sighed in a low voice: "Want to know?"
"I'm a little curious. If master doesn't want to say it, then he won't say it."
"Oh, next time you say that, put away the curiosity on your face."
Chen Ren was a little embarrassed by what he said and stretched out his hand to scratch his hair.
"Well, where do we start?" After pondering for a moment, the master spoke again, his deep voice echoing in the hall.
"Do you know how many stages there are in kendo?"
"Five, basic, cutting steel, cutting with sword energy, thunder with sword energy, and condensing silk with sword energy."
"Yes, then do you know how your master and I broke through the sword energy slashing stage?"
"I used the Black Book. Everything I encounter now is thanks to the Black Book." Before Chen Ren could speak, Ivan continued.
"Nineteen years ago, when Yiyi was still a little kid, our martial arts school was not here yet. It was a rural town, and it was pretty good for me, a swordsman in the steel-cutting stage, to take care of him."
"Until it was revealed that I owned the black book, what I didn't expect the most was that the first person to take action was my eldest disciple Cross."
"He colluded with the cloud bandits inside and outside to kill everyone in the town, including my wife and son."
"I staked my life and black calligraphy, successfully comprehended the sword intention and broke through to the realm of sword energy slashing, and broke through with Yiyi and Wuge swords."
"We grabbed a boat and escaped, but I fell into a coma and drifted all the way here. It was the old mayor of this town who saved us."
"But my injuries are too serious. I don't want to die. What will happen to my daughter if I die? What will happen to my revenge?" Ivan's hoarse roar echoed in the inner hall.
"I made another deal with the Black Book. I used my soul as a pledge and could not leave Fenyun Island for the rest of my life, in exchange for my recovery." After he calmed down, he continued to tell what happened next.
Chen Ren saw his master roaring in anger and stared at him blankly. This old man, who should have been in his sixties, dragged his decrepit body and was imprisoned on an island, watching his enemy in the sea of clouds.
Carefree.
And he only has the ability to divide the sea with his sword, but he is unable to do anything about it. This feeling of powerlessness is probably the reason for his anger.
"You've lost your composure. You two should go back and leave me here alone." The master slumped down on the main seat weakly and waved his hands to the two of them, with a hint of unexplained sadness in his tone.
Chen Ren was still about to say something, but was pulled out of the inner hall by Yiyi beside him.
"There is no need to comfort Dad, let him stay alone for a while." The senior sister glanced at the master, turned around and walked out of the inner courtyard.
He looked back at his master. In the inner hall where the sun couldn't penetrate, he sat alone in the darkness, adding fuel to the anger in his heart.
"Alas" he sighed and chased in the direction of his senior sister.
…
"Do you find it incredible that this is the first time you see your father like this?" Yiyi asked without looking back when she noticed the movement behind her.
"Actually, when Dad first came to Fenyun Island, it was even worse than it is now. He would lose his temper every day or lock himself in his room and not come out."
"Thanks to my father's force, I have not been bullied here, but I still don't like this place. This place is like a prison to me, locking my father and me.
"
"I was very young at that time. I would dream about the tragedy of that night every night. The scorching flames ignited half of the town. There were screams and the sound of swords clashing everywhere. I witnessed my mother and brother being stabbed.
A scene of death." Yiyi reached out and brushed away a few tears that suddenly appeared, so that the junior brother behind him would not see them.
"I just spent a year like this. As for the next step, I will practice hard in swordsmanship. At that time, there was no martial arts school, so I was the only hope."
"The early stage was relatively easy. It took me five years to go from basic training to the peak of steel-cutting." Yiyi paused at this point, turned around and winked at his junior brother, looking proud.
"Sister Yiyi is unparalleled in the world." Chen Ren liked the proud little expression of his senior sister very much and wanted to reach out and pinch her twice.
"But now I am still at the peak of steel-cutting, and it has stuck with me for thirteen years." He reached out and knocked off his junior brother's claws, and gave him a big white eye.
"Is it because you can't gather your sword intent?" He rubbed his palm that was struck down and looked at his senior sister with wide eyes.
"My guess is pretty accurate, maybe it's because my heart is not at peace."
"Oh, it looks like I'm going to work harder and try to get Sister Yiyi to enter the realm of sword energy as soon as possible. How about traveling with me then?"
"Okay, don't think senior sister will be in the way when the time comes." Yiyi hugged Chen Ren, and the two of them walked back to Yiyi's courtyard side by side.
