Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 298: Meeting Ye Kai Again, Strange Island in the Mist
"Are all those Zhu Da's people?"
"yes!"
When Sun Xiaohong heard Ding Linglin's answer, her face suddenly turned ugly.
With the people on those treasure ships, plus many foreign masters, let alone dealing with any underworld forces, even dividing the land and becoming a king, or conquering small countries such as Fusang and Jinpeng Dynasty would not be difficult.
Li Muchan shook his clothes and rolled up his sleeves, and suddenly a strong wind blew in front of him, dispersing the thick fog in all directions.
But just as the fog was pushed away, it soon spread again. As it gathered together, the people on the boat and everything around them quickly became blurred and were submerged in it.
Seeing this, Li Muchan frowned and once again channeled his inner energy, sweeping away the thick fog on the boat with a wave of his palm. He took the opportunity to say, "Don't separate. Try to gather together and come aboard."
After everyone did as they were told and gathered at the bow, Li Muchan mused, "They may not all be Zhu Da's men. If the Demon Cult's founder is still alive as we suspect, he will definitely have made some arrangements."
"That's right," Shangguan Xiaoxian continued, "Conflicts in the martial arts world are ultimately nothing more than scheming and intrigue. Even though Zhu Da commands the seven seas and holds immense power, Venerable Ashura is, after all, a peerless figure who founded a sect. He'll undoubtedly have a few tricks up his sleeve to fend him off."
As he was speaking, the fog that had just been dispersed came back again.
Looking at the vast fog before him, Li Muchan pondered, "Perhaps this sea fog is not a coincidence."
Before the others could understand what was meant, they all disappeared into the thick fog.
"Be careful." Li Muchan said softly.
He slowly pushed the boat forward. He didn't know how long had passed, perhaps half a cup of tea, or maybe a whole cup of tea. Suddenly, the sound of paddling on the waves was heard in the originally silent fog.
Shangguan Xiaoxian's voice came from the mist, "Someone is there."
Li Muchan also heard it, but he gently comforted her, "I know, don't pay attention to them."
The others were still wondering why Li Muchan said that, but unexpectedly, there were more and more strange noises in the water, like a school of fish making waves, or like countless water ghosts tumbling in the water, which was frightening.
Not only are there people, but there are also big fish.
Li Muchan suddenly understood why those people could move freely in and out of the sea.
Ding Linglin lost her patience and lowered her voice as much as possible, asking worriedly, "Will they sink the boat?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a crash from the bottom of the ship.
Li Muchan said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about it for now."
"You," Ding Linglin was about to speak, but when she opened her mouth she let out a "Ah!" and said in shame and anger, "Who pinched me?"
"It's me." Shangguan Xiaoxian's voice followed, "You're the only one who talks too much."
Sun Xiaohong said helplessly, "It's already this late, can you please stop making trouble?"
At this moment, all the movements in the water suddenly stopped, and then they left the ship and disappeared.
Mrs. Wu whispered, "It seems they've all left."
Li Muchan said, "He's not leaving, he's going to deal with Zhu Da and the others."
The young man's voice came out of nowhere, "Brother Li, it's bad, water is entering the cabin, and there's a big hole in it."
"Got it." Li Muchan seemed to have expected this, and seemed to have been waiting for this moment. "Let's abandon ship."
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that the fog in front of them was forced to both sides like a tide.
Li Muchan strode into the cabin and lifted the bedding, only to discover a small boat hidden underneath. "Now that those people have no time to care about anything else, we can take this opportunity to leave."
"Don't you bring any dry food and water?" Sun Xiaohong asked worriedly.
"No," Li Muchan glanced into the depths of the fog. "If my guess is correct, there should be an island hidden in this sea of fog. It's most likely the hiding place of the Demon Cult's founder. We must hurry and land on the island to be safe."
He made this assumption because, no matter how good those people were at swimming, they couldn't have stayed in the sea forever. Furthermore, this sea fog didn't seem to have formed by chance, at least not just today. Otherwise, how could those people have hidden here in advance, waiting so long?
The boat entered the water and a group of people jumped on it without any hesitation.
Li Muchan dived into the water to take a look. Unexpectedly, there was a vast sea of fog above, but the view below was much clearer. There were many reefs, and the surging undercurrents were converging in one direction, with hidden ropes pulling them.
"It is indeed so."
Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and immediately pushed the boat forward, following the hidden rope in it and rushing straight to the end.
Outside the thick fog, a very shocking sound was faintly heard at this time.
"boom!"
A loud explosion suddenly sounded, shaking the earth and the sky.
"It seems those people have already fought."
The sound came from behind them.
Li Muchan soaked in the sea water, relying on the Wuxiang magic skill to move forward as if riding the waves, pushing the small boat, more agile than those swimming fish.
Mrs. Wu sat on the boat holding Wu Ming, her eyes filled with gratitude. She said with deep emotion, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li, for rescuing me. This is such a great favor. My mother and I will never forget it."
It's no wonder she's like this. After all, all the people in the martial arts world that I've seen in the past, once they encounter a threat, they all take care of themselves first. As for burdens like her and her son, no one cares about their life or death, fortune or misfortune.
But Li Muchan, such a notorious and evil master of the demon world, was willing to save them and save them to the end. Mrs. Wu was extremely grateful in her heart.
Li Muchan floated on the water, his body shifting. Upon hearing this, he simply said softly, "If you really want to thank me, wait until we return to the Central Plains."
He looked at Wu Ming in the woman's arms again. Whether this child was ambitious or not was another matter. The fact that he was intelligent and had a very different personality from ordinary people meant that he was destined to be an extraordinary person in the future.
But he was still looking forward to seeing how high it could fly.
He even thought about taking this boy in as his disciple several times. If he was trained carefully, perhaps in the future...
"boom!"
While he was thinking, there was another loud explosion behind him.
Li Muchan immediately collected his thoughts and said with a meaningful smile, "It seems this is the battlefield chosen by the Demon Cult's founder. Those treasure ships will definitely not be able to enter. Even if they are not blown up or broken, it will be difficult for them to pass through these hidden reefs. It depends on whether the people on the ships have the courage to break in. If that happens, the outcome may still be determined."
"Huh? Be careful, someone is coming." Shangguan Xiaoxian suddenly reminded in an urgent voice.
Li Muchan also saw it. He saw a black shadow wearing a water-proof jacket swimming quickly on the sea.
He freed one hand and was about to attack, but a voice suddenly floated over, "Ah, don't do it, it's me."
As soon as this person opened his mouth, Ding Linglin and Sun Xiaohong were both surprised and delighted.
Then he saw the man coming closer and hurriedly took off the mask on his face. Who else could it be but Ye Kai.
Seeing everyone, Ye Kai was also very excited, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not rested for many days.
"I'm so glad you're all okay."
He felt relieved when he saw that Ding Linglin and Sun Xiaohong were both safe and sound.
Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't help but remind him, "Don't reminisce about the past yet, hurry up and get to the island."
Ye Kai nodded, "That's right, come with me quickly, those man-eating fish are about to come out."
With someone leading the way, the boat moved faster.
After a while, the fog on the sea gradually thinned, and everyone's vision became wider.
When everyone took a closer look, they were all shocked.
However, I saw that there was indeed an island isolated from the outside world hidden in this vast sea of fog. It was surrounded by fog on all sides, like a tornado. From a distance, it seemed to connect the sky and the earth. It was so fantastic and magnificent that it was unimaginable.
But what shocked everyone even more was that they saw a lot of rocks of different sizes floating in the sky above the island, hanging in the air and moving like stars.
Li Muchan looked at the rubble floating in the sky and said uncertainly, "These seem to be... meteorites from outer space?"
He had seen a lot of things like this in Peacock Villa.
Before Ye Kai could respond, a strong smell of blood suddenly wafted out of the fog.
The entire sea surface was visibly covered with crimson blood, and countless huge dorsal fins emerged from the water, moving through the blood waves like ghosts.
"hiss!"
Everyone's eyelids twitched wildly and they all moved away from the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a series of hair-raising screams rang out in the thick fog.
"ah!"
"There's a shark in the water!"
…
