What Shen Zhenqiu didn't expect was that this young man with an unassuming appearance and good intentions, who bought his nine-leaf fennel, solved his urgent need, and almost saved his life, turned out to be a master of breaking the void!
In the outer world, although the void is broken and there is no restraint from the energy of heaven and earth, there are not many masters who have achieved Taoism through martial arts, reached the peak of innateness, shattered the small world, and entered the realm of breaking the void.
What's more, the world is vast, and the distribution of masters of breaking voids is even rarer.
Although these people have all heard about the power of Po-Xu masters, and even there is a Po-Xu master in this fleet, most of them have never seen it.
They are all high up, overlooking all living beings.
Every time they make a move, it is calculated by tens of thousands of sky crystals. These businessmen are just trying to get away with a few sky crystals, which is not at the same level as them.
Nowadays, a master of breaking the void is so approachable that he uses one hundred thousand taels of gold to buy his goods. How can this not make Shen Zhenqiu panic and helpless!
Thinking that he had just talked nonsense with this master of breaking the void for tens of thousands of taels of gold, Shen Zhenqiu sweated profusely, fell to his knees on the ground, and kept kowtowing.
"I didn't know that it was the adults who arrived, but I was so stupid that I dared to bargain with you on the price. If you need this nine-leaf fennel, you can just take it without paying anything..."
He was so frightened that he kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
In the outer world, both innate and below, masters above innate and Shattering Void are called adults, and they call themselves villains.
"Why would you, sir, want something like this from you?"
While Shen Zhenqiu was kowtowing, he heard a clear and sweet sound in front of him, and a quiet sound came from his ears. The people around him inhaled together and made a tut-tut sound.
He raised his head and saw a square crystal stone in front of him, which reflected seven colors of light, making people dazzled!
Tianjing!
This is the most valuable thing in the outer world, Tianjing!
Shen Zhenqiu heard a gurgling sound coming from his throat.
He was from a wealthy family and his business was not small, but even though he had seen something like Tian Jing before, only when it really fell in front of him and so close could he feel its strange allure.
Money can make the world go round, and with the Heavenly Crystal in hand, there is nothing impossible in the world!
Although he was honest in doing business, when he saw the money, he still couldn't help but show greed on his face.
The one who threw out the crystal was none other than Captain Chen of the seagoing ship. He walked up to Feng Ziyue and bowed with a smile, stroking his mustache.
"Master Feng, you don't have to pay with gold. It's just a small amount. Just treat it as the Xihu Merchant Alliance's filial piety to you..."
"this……"
Feng Ziyue frowned. He didn't want to take advantage of this, but he also knew that a master of Poxu had the identity of a master of Poxu. A single blow would cost tens of thousands of sky crystals. Ordinary people would want to compete with a master of Poxu.
To say a word may cost one hundred thousand taels of gold, but there may not be a chance.
It's worth it to flatter someone with a piece of sky crystal.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziyue stopped insisting and nodded.
"In that case, I would like to thank Captain Chen. Boss Shen, please take care of me."
"That's natural."
Captain Chen laughed loudly, helped Shen Zhenqiu up, picked up the Tianjing and put it into his hand, looking very affectionate.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Feng Ziyue said no more and asked Captain Chen to bring some nine-leaf fennel to him in the cabin, while he went back to rest first.
Captain Chen agreed immediately, but looking at Feng Ziyue's back, there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
※※※
at night.
The sea breeze is calm and the sky is full of stars and moon. It is another good weather.
This fleet of sixteen large ships sailed quietly, steadily and slowly.
In order to rush for time, even at night when the weather is good, the boats have to stay in one place, and the helmsmen change shifts to avoid losing their way. The sixteen large ships are linked by iron chains, which is also the time when they are closest together.
Suddenly a sampan was lowered from the boat Feng Ziyue was on. Captain Chen sneaked onto the boat. When he got to the last boat, someone lowered the rope. He was very dexterous and climbed on.
"Brother Chen, Master Wufang is waiting for you."
What greeted him was a lean man in black, also wearing silk clothes. He must have been the steward of the ship.
Captain Chen nodded, but his face looked a little frightened, "Why don't you take me over quickly if you keep me waiting for so long?"
The two men hurried forward, passed through the front cabin, and arrived in front of the aft cabin door. Captain Chen respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Chen Shijie, the master of the lower three-point altar, pays homage to Lord Wufang!"
His attitude was extremely respectful. At this time, he was not the owner of these sixteen ships, but only the three-point altar leader of the West Tiger Merchant Alliance. This Lord of the Five Directions was a master of Shattering the Void. In the West Tiger Merchant Alliance,
Among them, he has a very high status, so he naturally wants to pay homage to him.
"No need to be polite!"
A deep voice came from the cabin, and Chen Shijie felt as if there was a force pushing in his chest, and he stood up involuntarily.
"Have you ever found out what I want you to investigate? What is the origin of that baby? What does it have to do with the destruction of Sihai Villa?"
"yes!"
Chen Shijie nodded, "My subordinates have been investigating for a long time and have gained some results. However, in the past ten days, the five masters have been in retreat, so they dare not disturb them. Today, I am recruiting, and I will report it immediately..."
When Feng Ziyue boarded the ship that day, he alerted the master of breaking the void and killed him in five directions.
He is one of the pillars of the Xihu Merchant Alliance. He is responsible for guarding overseas trade. He is capable of breaking the void and has great martial arts skills.
As a master of breaking the void with no background, Feng Ziyue proposed to take a boat to Dongming Continent in the ruins of Sihai Villa, which was razed to the ground. How could this not attract his attention?
Po Xu masters are not cabbages, they can be caught casually.
What's more, the strength of Sihai Villa is not weak. The Xihu Merchant Alliance has also investigated. They believe that the strength of Sihai Villa is by no means as simple as it appears, and it is not possible to occupy this important position with only one ally, Venerable Xuan Tan.
Tiannan Island - What's more, in the past two or three hundred years, the Yan family has been able to develop to Dongming Continent and establish a foothold in Qiongzhou, which further shows that Sihai Villa is not simple.
However, it is not a simple method. The Xihu Merchant Alliance is hundreds of thousands of miles away and it is impossible to find out so clearly. Therefore, the method they adopted is an attitude of neither being humble nor being arrogant, and being cooperative but not provocative.
But what they didn't expect was that within a few days, Sihai Villa was wiped out. This was really beyond everyone's expectation.
The five parties were shocked when they were killed, and Chen Shijie was asked to find out the truth.
However, the Sihai Villa was razed to the ground, and a master of breaking the void wanted to board the ship with a divine beast. In fact, this result was already coming out, but he just wanted to confirm it.
"... My subordinates have conducted a detailed investigation of the situation at Sihai Villa and can confirm that the damage was probably caused by the mythical beast Yin Yang Crab. I have seen that most of the injuries that still leave traces were caused by the large claws, which are related to the Yin Yang Crab.
The shape of the large claws matches the same, there is no mistake.”
"However, my subordinates cannot tell whether Feng Ziyue, the master of breaking the void, has made a move, but..."
"but what?"
Wufang Yisha in the cabin opened his eyes. He was a strong old man, ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. His head was full of white hair. He was wearing a long brown coat with a belt around his waist.
There is a gorgeous short knife hanging on it.
Chen Shijie shuddered. Facing this murderous adult, he still shuddered. Wufang opened his eyes as soon as he opened his eyes. The murderous aura suddenly filled the air, making him unbearable.
If Wufang Yisha hadn't deliberately restrained himself, an ant with his martial arts level would have been shocked to pieces on the spot!
He didn't dare to neglect and reported it quickly.
"Actually, it was nothing before, but something strange happened on the ship today..."
Chen Shijie told the truth about Feng Ziyue's plan to buy the nine-leaf fennel from Shen Zhenqiu.
"Nine-leaf fennel, we all know that he wants to sell it to Sihai Villa. Now that Sihai Villa has been destroyed, Feng Ziyue suddenly wants to buy this batch of medicinal materials. My subordinates find it a bit strange..."
"oh?"
Wufang Yisha frowned, "You mean, the destruction of Sihai Villa is also related to this batch of nine-leaf fennel?"
It is naturally unjustifiable to say that Feng Ziyue killed people and silenced Sihai Villa for this batch of nine-leaf fennel. Although the nine-leaf fennel could be sold at a high price across the ocean, Shen Zhenqiu's batch of fennel was, at best, worth the price.
It's a big deal if you can only sell ten Heavenly Crystals. How can it be worth it for a Poxu Master to take action at once?
A master of the first level of breaking the void, without ten thousand heavenly crystals, who would be willing to kill an unrelated person?
After all, for a master of breaking the void, every shot is actually a waste.
The innate realm is a process of continuous accumulation, constantly growing the small world in the body. After entering Poxu, it is actually slowly accumulating, and the world continues to grow further. When taking action, the small world in the body is shattered to obtain incredible
strength.
But the shattered world will disappear completely, and it can only be restored after slowly accumulating.
This is a helpless process.
Therefore, masters of breaking the void are reluctant to take action easily unless necessary. Otherwise, they can scare away the opponent only by intimidation.
To say that Feng Ziyue took action for ten heavenly crystals would be an understatement for this master of breaking the void.
"My subordinate's intention is naturally not that Feng Ziyue is here for these nine-leaf fennel. However, I think that Sihai Villa purchased the nine-leaf fennel at a high price. It must have a special purpose. I think Feng Ziyue also knows this purpose.
, that’s why he bought this batch of medicinal materials. In the afternoon, he even sent some of them to his cabin. It seems that he wanted to..."
"in addition……"
Chen Shijie paused for a moment, "From what we looked at, it seemed that he really didn't understand much about this world. He didn't have a gold ticket or a sky crystal with him, and he actually wanted to pay the bill with gold..."
"oh?"
Wufang Yisha's eyes widened, and then he frowned.
"Is this happening?"
A master of Shattered Void doesn't have a golden ticket, so that's fine, but without a sky crystal, it's a bit strange.
"After he boarded the ship, he also asked his subordinates many times about Dongming Continent and some general information. His subordinates responded vaguely and did not go into details. Now it seems that he really does not understand..."
"That is to say," Wufang Yisha's face sank and his expression changed slightly, "It is very possible that he is not from Dongming and Canghai, but rather..."
He pondered for a long time before the four words burst out from his mouth with difficulty.
"People from the temple!"
"People from the temple?"
Chen Shijie repeated the words "five parties and one kill", his expression changed drastically and he was frightened.
This is a terrifying name, even for the Xihu Merchant Alliance, it is a behemoth that must not be provoked.
More importantly, this behemoth has mysterious and weird properties, which makes it even more troublesome.
"Based on these, we can't draw any conclusions..."
Wufang Yisha shook his head, "No matter if he is from the temple or not, no matter what he is for, you must keep an eye on him!"
"Now that he is on the ship and his activities are limited, we have the opportunity to find out what his purpose is. If he is allowed to go to Dongming Continent and cause trouble, if they know that this person is brought to Dongming by us,
On the mainland, even Tiantianmen and the four major sects will not give up on our Xihu Merchant Alliance!"
When he thought about this relationship, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
A person in the temple may not be able to achieve anything famous, but if he gets into trouble with Tianmen and the four major sects, I'm afraid...
When five parties were killed, one could not help but shudder.
It's not that he hasn't thought about killing Feng Ziyue, but unfortunately, the older Jianghu gets, the less courageous he becomes. When Wufang Yisha was young, he was also killing people like crazy and going all out.
But nowadays, he will never act rashly until he can clearly see his opponent's trump card.
Probably only a child as twisted and perverted as Gui Tongzi would attack the people in the temple without hesitation, right? If Wufang Yisha knew that Sihai Villa was destroyed for this reason, he would probably also raise his eyebrows at Gui Tongzi Yan's return.
Thumbs up, deep admiration.
Now on the ship, there is still a chance to find out this person's trump card.
Fortunately, there are still more than two months before we can go to Dongming Continent.
These two months may be the most critical moment for their Xihu Merchant Alliance!
After Wu Fang killed him, he gritted his teeth. No matter what, he still had to figure out Feng Ziyue's purpose and trump card while he was on the boat.
"Shijie, go and send a signal, notify various places, prepare manpower, and constantly replenish people. Those brothers on Baoshan Island have been idle for so many years. It's time to contribute to the Merchant Alliance. Let them all board the ship!
"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
Wufang Yisha clenched his fists and was extremely cautious.
Chen Shijie was also secretly frightened, but if it was true that Feng Ziyue was a member of the temple as they guessed, I'm afraid that trouble would really come.
Could it be that the world that has been peaceful for hundreds of years is going to be in trouble again?
Chen Shijie also felt a thump in his heart. He looked out the window at the dark sea and night sky, feeling fearful of a bloody future.
He is not the only one who is afraid.
He could feel it, even the masters of Wufang and the masters of breaking the void were the same.
