Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 334: Sudden Change of Wind Direction (Part 1)
It's calm.
The sea is vast.
On the deck, there were only a few sailors, sailing according to the set route.
Occasionally, a few warriors from Gufeng Island would walk around on the deck.
It can be seen that they are still in a state of anxiety and uneasiness, some feel guilty, and some worry about the future.
"That man is from the Qingfeng Sect," Zhao Yu pointed at a warrior somewhere on the bow and said, "You can tell by looking at his sword.
"And that one," he pointed at another person, "Shuzhou Emei Sect, holding the Deadly Soul Chasing Fork."
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun was obviously not interested in the origins of these warriors, but asked meaningfully, "Why do you think Wang Dian lured these people to Gufeng Island?"
"That's hard to say," Zhao Yu answered truthfully, "Wang Dian has a weird temper, maybe he just thinks it's fun!"
"Oh." Xu Zun said "oh" but didn't say anything else.
"Hmm..." Zhao Yuze said in a low voice, "Sir, I always feel that we seem to be stuck in a quagmire again this time! Not only in the court, but also in the martial arts world."
"Why?" Xu Zun asked.
"Wang Dian could have grabbed any other woman, but he had to grab the Crown Princess," Zhao Yu said. "This is like yellow mud falling into your pants. No matter how much we explain or cover it up, it's still very uncomfortable."
Xu Zun didn't say anything, but Zhao Yu's words still penetrated into his heart.
If this trip can prove that the prince is dead, this matter may still be resolved.
But if the prince is really found, then the scandal of the princess will probably be difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Xu Zun had to reconsider the deal between himself and the Crown Princess. If he really let her go, could he hide it from the Queen Mother?
"On the other hand," Zhao Yu said, "Wang Dian is not someone you can easily mess with. Rumor has it that he has a narrow mind. If you offend him this time, there will be consequences!"
"But Wang Dian has also offended the royal family," Xu Zun said, "If the royal family pursues the matter, his life will certainly not be easy!
"People in the underworld, and underworld affairs," he shook his head and said, "These are not the focus of our trip."
"I understand, so..." Zhao Yu looked around and lowered his voice again, "Sir, don't you think Shen Xingran is weird?"
Xu Zun certainly thought there was something wrong with Shen Xingran, but he still asked knowingly: "What's weird about it?"
"Everyone is dead, why is he still alive?" Zhao Yu analyzed, "He is the captain of the delegation, responsible for the safety of the prince, and should be with him all the time, but why didn't he go to the prince's ship?
"Also," Zhao Yu added, "I always feel like he's deliberately hiding something!"
Xu Zun nodded slightly. He had thought of this before. The Tianfu ship was known as the number one ship in Daxuan and could accommodate more than 300 people.
But after the warship was damaged, Shen Xingran said that there were only about a hundred people on board, so where did the others go?
Also, whether it was Shen Xingran or the Crown Princess, Xu Zun always felt that these people seemed to be hiding something.
In particular, when the Tianfu giant ship was damaged, something seemed to have happened during the more than ten days they were drifting on the sea.
However, their confessions were all consistent, so... was I overthinking it?
All in all, there was something weird about this matter from the very beginning.
What happened on Ancient Wind Island, Shen Xingran's condition , the Crown Princess's deal, and the mysterious sea monster...
All these things seemed to indicate that the journey to the Banshee Kingdom to find the prince would be full of ups and downs...
…
After settling down and finishing discussions with everyone, Xu Zun returned to the cabin and went to Ku Niang's room.
After a fierce battle with the evil demon king Dian, Xu Zun was still worried that Ku Niang's injuries would relapse.
However, after entering the house, he found that no one was in the house.
Why?
Xu Zun suddenly felt something was wrong. Where was his mother Ku?
He had no choice but to go outside to look for her, but after asking Huo Anu, Huo Anu also said that he had not seen her.
There is no way. Ku Niang has always been elusive. Maybe she is right next to us.
At noon, Xu Zun and everyone went to the restaurant to have lunch. During the meal, he chatted with the warriors and made many friends in the martial arts world.
In any case, if it weren’t for Xu Zun, these people would have been trapped on Gufeng Island for who knows how long, so they are naturally grateful to Xu Zun.
Xu Zun naturally could not explicitly mention the search for the prince, so he made the excuse that the ship's route to the Banshee Kingdom was a fixed route and could not be changed.
If you want to return to Daxuan, you can stay on the boat with food and accommodation provided.
Naturally, the warriors had no objections and expressed their agreement one after another.
According to Zhao Yu, although these people themselves are not very famous, most of them come from major sects and have a good reputation.
Making friends with these people will definitely be beneficial to you.
Moreover, after being tempered in the arena of Ancient Wind Island, these people have already risen to become first-rate warriors of Daxuan, and will surely make a name for themselves in the future.
After lunch, Xu Zun went straight to the room where the Crazy Knife Witch was housed to confirm some things with her in detail.
Zhao Yu knew the origin of the Crazy Knife Witch. He said that her real name was Yu Meilan and she was from the Double Knife Sect in Weizhou.
This person is a first-rate martial artist, but for some unknown mistake she made she was expelled from her master's sect. Since then she has been traveling around the world. Due to her crazy behavior and ruthless swordsmanship, she was nicknamed the Crazy Sword Witch.
This person is about forty years old, looks graceful, has delicate skin, and is considered to be quite pretty.
Xu Zun also didn't know, if he hadn't been stopped by Ku Niang on Gufeng Island, then who was taking advantage of whom?
Ku Niang's tricks were indeed powerful. Even after such a long time, the Crazy Knife Witch still looked weak and short of breath.
She was placed in a special room and strictly guarded by several guards.
Xu Zun knew that this person was very skilled in martial arts. If her skills were fully restored in the future, Ku Niang would probably be the only one on the entire ship who could cure her!
However, the Crazy Knife Witch has a request for Xu Zun, and her injuries are quite serious, so she probably won't pose any threat in the short term.
“…Yes,” the Crazy Knife Goddess nodded and said, “Before those beauties came, there were not many women on Ancient Wind Island, and most of them were female warriors.
“After being consumed by desire, everyone’s primitive instincts were aroused, and women naturally became prey.
"So..." She pointed to her face, "I can only make myself up as an old woman to avoid the sight of the warriors."
snort……
Xu Zun didn't react on the surface, but he snorted in his heart.
Because through his own experience, he already knew that this crazy knife witch was not idle, and used the excuse of fighting in the ring to target many male warriors.
Therefore, it seems that there is no question of who is at a disadvantage and who is benefiting here.
"Let me ask you again," Xu Zun was obviously not concerned about her private life, and asked, "How many people did Shen Xingran and his group get in?"
“I didn’t count them exactly,” the Mad Knife Witch replied, “A dozen soldiers were the first to enter the palace.
"Not long after, more people came in one after another. If you count them all, there are indeed nearly a hundred people."
"Are they...really all dead?" Xu Zun asked again, "At that time, did you know that they should have come from the palace?"
“I know, but…” Mad Knife Witch said dimly, “Even though I took the antidote, my mind was still greatly affected.
"I couldn't think about so many issues at the time, ahem..." She dragged her weak body and said, "At the time, I only had two desires, one was to improve my skills, and the other was to enjoy myself in time. As for the others, they all seemed unimportant..."
