Zhang Ke left Tingzhuxuan early, raised a white cloud and headed south.
It has been more than a year, and the disciples sent by the sect to search for information in various sea areas have not yet returned.
Zhang Ke didn't want to wait any longer, he wanted to go to the sea personally to find a suitable target island as the branch's base.
The first choice place is the southern sea, after all, he has been here once before.
Laizhou Chiba City West.
Thousands of miles away over the sea, a white cloud drifted leisurely over.
Bixiao Palace is located on a nearby island, but due to the hidden formations surrounding it, it is shrouded in thick fog all year round.
Above the clouds, Zhang Ke popped up a white-gold stream of light and flew into the fog.
Then he pressed down on the cloud head and landed three feet above the sea, standing in the air.
Not long after, a small boat came out of the white mist in front of me.
After his mind noticed the person on the boat, Zhang Ke's heart moved and a smile appeared on his lips.
As soon as I thought about it, a trace of mist covered my face, and I couldn't see my face clearly.
Two pretty female cultivators stood on the boat and came closer through the clouds and mist. When they saw Zhang Ke standing in the air on the sea, they were slightly shocked.
Only those in the Yuanshen realm can do this by relying on their own strength.
The two of them did not dare to be negligent and stepped forward to bow.
"Juniors Nie Yin and Ning Pei'er pay their respects to seniors!"
To their surprise, they received no response after speaking.
The two women kept their bowed postures and could not stand up, so they quietly turned their heads and looked at each other.
He spoke again: "Junior Nie Yin..."
Before the two of them finished speaking, the man in front of them laughed softly.
"Hey hey hey!"
Nie Yin felt that the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
He quietly raised his head and saw the man dispelling the fog on his face and revealing his face.
Zhang Ke!
Nie Yin straightened up all of a sudden and shouted happily:
"Zhang Ke! Why is it you???"
Zhang Ke suddenly floated up to Nie Yin and said with a smile:
"Why are you so miserable? Now you are starting to look at the door?"
Nie Yin rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:
"Auntie, I'm happy, can you take care of it? You..."
He suddenly reacted and shouted:
"You...you have been promoted to Yuanshen???"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Oh! I accidentally broke through."
Nie Yin looked at Zhang Ke blankly, feeling a little at a loss for a moment and not knowing how to communicate with Zhang Ke.
Now that he has entered the realm of dragon and tiger, he is usually quite proud.
Even his master, ‘Flying Sword Immortal’ Qin Qing, said that he was considered an outstanding person of the younger generation.
But now in front of Zhang Ke, all the pride was shattered like a bubble.
Ning Pei'er on the side gently pulled her sleeve, and Nie Yin woke up from his sluggish state.
‘Oh—!’
He took out a breath and forced a smile:
"This is the Ruyi Zhen...Zhenjun of Dingzhou Xiantian Yiqi Sect!"
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"Hehe! Are you afraid when you see my current state?
How about it? How about I give you a hug on my thigh? Then you can brag about it when you go out."
After being deliberately teased by Zhang Ke, Nie Yin's depression dissipated a lot.
I couldn't help but fight back: "Huh! Why did you think of coming to our place? Maybe you're here to catch up with an old friend..."
Feeling bad about being an elder in the family, Nie Yin stopped talking.
Zhang Ke blushed a little, couldn't help coughing twice, and quickly waved his hand to apologize.
"Ahem——! I was wrong, and I asked the most beautiful black girl in the world to be generous and let me go!"
Nie Yin gritted his teeth and a few words burst out between his teeth.
"Black girl???"
Just as she was about to retaliate, Ning Pei'er interrupted:
"Senior sister! I'm afraid that True Lord Ruyi might have something to do here, so please go inside and continue our conversation!"
Nie Yin's small nostrils flared and she let out a low hum.
"Please! - Lord Ruyi!!"
She spoke in a deliberately long voice, but there was a smile in her eyes.
Zhang Ke shook his head with a smile and flew off the boat.
The boat turned around and plunged into the thick white mist again.
Driving in the fog, Nie Yin asked curiously:
"Zhang Ke! Why did you advance to the rank of Yuan Shen so quickly? I remember that you were still behind me when you formed the elixir?"
Zhang Ke sighed:
"It's hard to explain in words! A few years ago, I accidentally entered the void and was trapped in a small space. As a result, there was a problem with the law of time there.
I was trapped there for more than two hundred years, otherwise I would not have advanced so quickly."
He knew the fire in Nie Yin's heart and deliberately made up a reason to explain it to her.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Nie Yin felt much better.
'Hmph! If I had two hundred years, I would definitely be able to advance to Yuanshen. What's the big deal?'
When your mood is good, your tone will naturally change.
"By the way! What are you doing here this time? Which island owner are you looking for?"
"Well! I came here this time to ask the owner of the island about something."
Nie Yin said in a long accent meaningfully: "Oh——! Looking for Uncle Shan!!"
Then he purposely murmured to himself in a low voice: "Tsk! It turns out I'm still here... Haha!"
Zhang Ke looked at Nie Yin who glanced at him sideways and felt a little overwhelmed.
It seems that this girl is very stimulated by her promotion to the soul, and she scratches her pigtails everywhere.
Changing the topic and asked:
"By the way! Why are you still patrolling the entrance? Did something happen?"
Nie Yin sighed and said:
"A few decades ago, a group of unknown pirates appeared in the nearby waters and robbed and killed ships everywhere on the sea.
This made people on the nearby islands panic. Several nearby sects encircled and suppressed them several times, but they could never catch their tail.
Therefore, every once in a while, I have to go out for inspection.
Japan is going out today, who would have thought I would meet you."
Zhang Ke said strangely:
"What are the origins of these pirates? Even with Island Master Qin here, there is nothing you can do against them?"
'Flying Sword Immortal' Tan Qing is a sword cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm. A 'Water Dividing Sword' suppressed many nearby sects and they were unable to lift their heads.
Nie Yin explained:
"My master is currently in retreat and has not shown his face for a hundred years.
Moreover, these pirates are unusual and their strength is extraordinary. There are three True Lords among them, and there are no less than 100 Jindan True Lords.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because every time this group of pirates appears, a ghost ship appears along with the fog, so they are also called ghost pirates."
Zhang Ke said "Oh", no wonder.
Although Bixiao Palace has Dong Tianjun, other conditions are not met.
There are neither the number of True Monarchs of Yuanshen nor the monks in the Golden Core Realm nor the necessary secret realms.
Therefore, it belongs to the seventh grade sect like Xiantian Yiqi Sect.
Among the three major island owners, the big island owner ‘Flying Sword Immortal’ Tan Qing is the strongest.
A 'water-dividing sword' has killed several souls and is famous in the nearby sea area.
It can be said that the Bixiao Palace only relied on three true monarchs to guard hundreds of islands nearby, and Tan Qing played a major role in this.
The second island owner, ‘Flying Witch’ Bian Yuhong, is good at mesmerizing people, but her ability to confront people head-on is somewhat inferior.
Shan Qianhui, the leader of the three islands, ‘Jade Guanyin’, is extremely talented and achieved the position of true king in just two hundred years.
This speed is literally hundreds of years faster than Zhang Ke.
Especially in her early years, she understood the method of spiritual practice based on just one Taoist book and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Later, he even created the 'Taiyin Soul Draining Technique' on his own, which shows how talented he is.
However, the biggest disadvantage of casual practice is that there is no one to guide you at some key points, and you cannot avoid the traps in practice.
The same was true for Shan Qianhui. When she was promoted to Yuanshen, her own path made mistakes.
So for hundreds of years, she has been secretly making up for her original mistakes.
And perhaps due to her own experience in her early years, Shan Qianhui's competitive spirit is not strong enough and she doesn't like fighting with others.
Among the three, Qin Qing, the 'Flying Sword Immortal', is obsessed with cultivation and usually doesn't care about foreign affairs.
Coupled with the personalities of Bian Yuhong and Shan Qianhui, the disciples of Bixiao Palace are much weaker.
Therefore, if Tan Qing does not take action, Bixiao Palace's external deterrence will be insufficient.
A few people chatted casually, and the boat quickly sailed into the island.
Ning Pei'er left early to report the situation to the sect, while Nie Yin walked inside with Zhang Ke.
More than a hundred years have passed, and there has been almost no change on Bixiao Island. It still looks like a fairyland.
All kinds of rare flowers, elixirs, and spiritual fruits are in full bloom, and cranes and white deer can be seen everywhere.
The dangerous peaks everywhere are surrounded by clouds, including waterfalls, springs, ponds and lakes.
Some Bixiao Palace disciples were playing and enjoying themselves among the mountains and rivers.
Zhang Ke looked around while following Nie Yin to Qifeng Palace.
Looking at the leisurely state of the disciples around him, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, are you still participating in the Battle of the Great Rift Valley?"
Nie Yin nodded and said: "Yes! It needs to be turned on every sixty years."
Zhang Ke asked somewhat strangely:
"Then why don't these disciples seem nervous at all?"
Nie Yin smiled bitterly and said:
"There is no way. Only those who have experienced it know the dangers. You also know some of the customs in our sect. Alas..."
When a stranger comes to the island, some Bixiao Palace disciples will gradually gather around them.
Zhang Ke released a trace of coercion at will.
In an instant, those disciples felt as if there were mountains pressing down on their heads.
My heart was so heavy that I couldn't breathe, and I didn't dare to step forward recklessly.
At this moment, Nie Yin suddenly discovered the huge distance between the Golden Core Realm and the Yuanshen Realm.
A sense of competitiveness suddenly arose in my heart. I was not bad either. There was no reason why I couldn't do what Zhang Ke could do.
The difference between people lies in this, some people stop when they are in danger, and some people face difficulties.
When the two of them arrived in front of Qifeng Hall, the door was already wide open.
A dozen pretty female disciples each held flower baskets, Ruyi and other gifts were arranged in two rows in front of the hall.
When Zhang Ke approached, they all bowed and saluted.
"Greetings to True Lord Ruyi!"
Zhang Ke nodded slightly and gently held up his hands to signal everyone to stand up.
Follow Nie Yin into Qifeng Hall.
There was no one in the splendid hall.
Only an enchanting and charming woman was reclining on the jade couch in the main seat.
Zhang Ke took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Island Master Shan! Long time no see!"
Shan Qianhui stared at Zhang Ke with a pair of fascinating eyes, and said lazily:
"Oh! Isn't this the little Taoist priest? He has become a soul after not seeing him for many years. What a rare visitor!"
He reached out and patted the jade couch beside him, and said with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, do you want to come over and sit down?"
The voice is soft and charming, and just by listening to it, you can deeply feel the temptation in the voice.
