There is a big river between the Divine Soul Sect and the Demonic Soul Sect in the Xuantian Continent, called Tongtian. This river runs through the entire Xuantian Continent. No one knows how long it is, and someone has calculated its width, which is 200,000 meters. .
This river is naturally not a problem for people with great supernatural powers, nor is it a problem for some monster beasts who are good at waterways. Even for some beast center soul masters who have integrated flying skills or swimming skills, this river is not a problem. A big river is not a big obstacle.
Only, it is a big trouble for Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao has many magic weapons on his body, but the strange thing is that the magic weapons on his body include neither flying magic weapons nor navigation magic weapons, but only offensive and defensive ones.
To cross the river, he could only get on the ferry that crosses the river, and then spend three days and three nights wandering on the ferry, before he could reach the territory of the Demon King's Palace.
Ling Xiao wanted to go to the Demon King's Palace. Firstly, he wanted to know what kind of demon the Purple Demon was. Secondly, he wanted to go to the Holy Demon Branch of the Demon King's Palace to find Maureen's true heart.
However, he can't cross the river now, and he can't even get on a boat.
Because the ferry was blocked by a large group of Seven Demon Cult members, if you wanted to pass through, you had to undergo their soul inspection.
Needless to say, they were naturally looking for Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao still understood.
"Isn't it just that a Zuo Protector died? Ancestor of the Seven Demons, you are too disrespectful to your disciples in the Soul Realm." Ling Xiao secretly cursed the Ancestor of the Seven Demons with disdain, and then swaggered Walk towards the ferry.
"Come here." A Seven Demons cultist who looked like the leader of this group shouted rudely to Ling Xiao: "If you want to cross the river, come and test your soul first."
The so-called soul test is to shine a black lamp on the head of the person who wants to test the soul, and then the soul will come out of the body. From the appearance of the soul, you can immediately tell whether the person is disguised or not.
Ling Xiao was naturally disguised, otherwise these people would have recognized him at a glance.
If you want to say who is the most popular person in Xuantian Continent recently, it is probably Ling Xiao.
The pursuit by the Seven Demons Cult is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is the wanted person from the Tower of Gods and Demons.
Being wanted by the Tower of Gods and Demons is a big deal for Ling Xiao. If he ran to a crowded place and shouted "I am Ling Xiao", thousands of people would probably pounce on him right away. Come here, more attractive than any beauty.
However, I heard that the Tower of Gods and Demons failed on the other road, so the Seven Demons Cult set up obstacles on this road to block Ling Xiao.
This black lamp was naturally prepared for Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao's cunning has already spread among the major forces. Without the treasure, the Seven Demons Sect really has no confidence that it can intercept Ling Xiao.
"Testing the soul, testing...testing...testing...what is soul testing?" Ling Xiao deliberately curled his tongue and asked vaguely.
"It turns out he is a fool." Many Seven Demons cultists and people around them shook their heads and disagreed.
However, they had a mission, not to mention working under Zuo Hong, who was holding a chicken feather as a command arrow, so the seven demon believers had to cheer up and pull Ling Xiao over.
Zuo Hong is the leader of the disciples of the Seven Demons Cult, who has a green-level cultivation, and the rest of the cult also has a green-level cultivation. With so many people intercepting one Ling Xiao, they think it is more than enough.
That Zuo Hong was a distant relative of Zuo Xiao, the protector Zuo. He heard that he was here to find the enemy who killed the protector Zuo. He was the most active, so he became the commander-in-chief of this operation.
When he took the lamp and placed it on Ling Xiao's head, the black energy from the lamp immediately rushed into Ling Xiao's Tian Chong and Ling Hui Soul.
This black energy was extremely overbearing at first, trying to extract the appearance of Ling Xiao's soul immediately, but when it came into contact with the black energy left by the Lord of Demonic Souls in Ling Xiao's mind, it immediately gave up.
Just like a young man in the underworld meeting his boss, he hid obediently in a corner and did not dare to move.
"Just as I am now, carve out the image of my soul." Ling Xiao gave the order to this black energy with great authority.
The black energy was immediately depicted according to Ling Xiao's idea, and appeared in front of Zuo Hong and everyone.
"Sure enough, he is a fool. There is nothing suspicious about him." Zuo Hong looked at the people around him who seemed to be laughing at him, mocking him for not even being able to tell that he was a fool and still having to test him. He couldn't help but take his anger out on Ling Xiao.
"Get out of here." Zuo Hong kicked Ling Xiao on the butt and pushed Ling Xiao onto the ferry.
"Ouch." Ling Xiao's body fell onto the deck of the ferry. At the moment of contact, he had already released the force, but he still had to pretend to be in great pain and kept crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" You are a bad person, I curse you to give birth to a son without a lower body, and to give birth to a daughter without a upper body..."
Zuo Hong saw that although everyone did not laugh out of dignity, the way they snickered still made Zuo Hong almost crazy.
"Looking for death." Zuo Hong was about to kill Ling Xiao when suddenly a loud voice came from the ferry: "No one can break my rules, not even the Seven Demons Sect, don't make any exceptions and get on my ferry. You are my people, if you mess around, you will be the first to die."
As soon as he heard this voice, Zuo Hong immediately took back all the soul power he had released, and gritted his teeth bitterly: "Boy, I won't deal with you until we cross the river."
Ling Xiao felt that the voice seemed familiar, and immediately looked back. Then, he was stunned.
An old man with a gray beard and a swarthy body and bare chest held a pipe in his mouth and looked at Ling Xiao with a smile but not a smile: "Boy, you are lucky, hehe."
Ling Xiao's mind immediately seemed like countless lines rolled together, a mess.
"Old Captain, why are you here again?" The old man in front of him is the old captain of Yaotian Continent who drives ferries in the polar waters.
Ling Xiao's first reaction was that this old man had opened a ferry chain business. No matter which continent it was on, as long as there were ferries, there would be such an old captain.
As for the old captain being able to drive ferries in so many places at the same time, for someone as powerful as him, Ling Xiao naturally thought that there was nothing he couldn't do.
But Ling Xiao couldn't figure out why this old man liked sailing so much.
How does he look like a normal man who likes to go to bed?
The old captain rolled his eyes: "If you can come, can't I come?"
At first, Ling Xiao thought that the old man might not recognize him, but when he saw the way the old captain looked at him, it was strange that he didn't recognize him.
The next sentence made Ling Xiao even more sure that the old captain had recognized him: "Ling Xiao, so many years of boring life have become richer with your appearance. I will follow you wherever you go from now on." You go, haha.”
Not to mention the depression in Ling Xiao's heart, she dared to think that this old man was her fan, ah bah.
However, Ling Xiao still believed that such an outsider would never care about what he did, and certainly would not betray himself to any force, so when the ship started sailing, Ling Xiao lay down with peace of mind. Next to the old captain, he smoked dry cigarettes and drank strong liquor with the old captain.
Strangely enough, the old captain and Ling Xiao were chatting happily, which somewhat surprised Ling Xiao.
The two talked about everything, from astronomy, geography, and life ideals to what kind of wine is good wine and what kind of woman is a good woman. The two talked for three whole days.
In fact, Ling Xiao didn't know that he was now considered a thousand-year-old monster. For a hundred-million-year-old monster like the old captain, it was impossible to find a chat partner like Ling Xiao who was like a thousand-year-old monster and had such free time. , which is really not easy.
What Ling Xiao found even more strange was that while chatting with the old captain, his mood became much calmer. The shadow brought upon him by the destruction of Yaotian Continent showed no sign of its onset in the past three days.
"This is probably the power of time. Only endless years can erase all human emotions and return to peace. No matter whether it is great joy or great sadness, it is not worth mentioning in the face of time."
A strange realization took root and sprouted in Ling Xiao's heart, and the power of the demonic soul in his body became much calmer unconsciously, and the chaotic soul power became more pure.
Ling Xiao really wanted to continue chatting with the old captain for a few more days, but he found helplessly that he had arrived at the shore.
As if he could tell that Ling Xiao had some unfinished thoughts, the old captain chuckled and said, "Boy, just let things go as they come. Don't force too much."
Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders. He never believed in this or anything like destiny. As long as he was willing to work hard, things would definitely change.
But now that the old captain has spoken, Ling Xiao can only bow to the old captain respectfully: "Thank you, senior."
Then, Ling Xiao turned around and left without any hesitation.
Enlightenment is enlightenment, he still has a lot to do, and he can't stay here forever to understand these avenues of life.
Looking at Ling Xiao's retreating back, the old captain showed an extremely happy smile: "Boy, I won't be lonely when I have you, haha."
Ling Xiao didn't know what the old captain was thinking, but he immediately knew what the large group of disciples of the Seven Demons Sect in front of him wanted to do.
Three days ago, he cursed Zuo Hong on the other side of the river. Zuo Hong probably notified these guys and asked them to wait for him here early, then caught him and tortured him, and then killed him to vent his anger.
Ling Xiao is very familiar with the Seven Demons Cult. After all, he can be regarded as the leader of the Seven Demons Cult in Yaotian Continent.
Seeing these guys looking at her with malicious smiles on their faces, Ling Xiao pretended to be very scared: "Everyone... Sir... I have... a lot of money... for you... please... please... Don't kill me..."
Afterwards, Ling Xiao took out a lot of colorful crystal stones from the storage space and spread them all over the floor, making the Seven Demon Cult disciples' eyes glow with greed.
