Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 276 Demon Race Ferry
The other male cultivator, named Bu Qing, was also a retainer of Hundred Flowers Island. He was relatively junior in the Hundred Flowers Sect and had not made any significant contributions.

He requested this mission himself.

Fu Baihua had taken a liking to that Young Master Feng. If he could save Fu Baihua's beloved, she could also ask him for cultivation resources.

Therefore, Bu Qing did not want Zhongli Hu to back down.

Hearing Zhongli Hu's words, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The woman clapped her hands and said, "Since Elder Zhongli has said so, Zidan will naturally follow his arrangements."

Zhongli Hu's eyes were deep and his tone was calm: "The environment in the desolate sea is complex and full of dangers. The three of us must work together and remind each other to complete the task assigned to us by the Hundred Flowers Sect Master."

“That’s natural.” Bu Qing nodded, knowing full well that he couldn’t deal with the Mirage Maiden and her accomplices on his own. Among the three, Zhongli Hu had the highest cultivation level, and he and Zi Dan both regarded Zhongli Hu as their leader.

Zhongli Hu flipped his wrist, and a bright yellow paper crane appeared in his palm. He blew on it, and the paper crane flew into the sky, transforming into a talisman bird.

Both Zi Dan and Bu Qing did the same, and the three of them entered the desolate sea.

Not long after we walked, we saw cloud bird feathers floating on the sea.

"There's blood on the bird's feathers; it looks like it was killed by someone," Bu Qing observed carefully and guessed, noticing that the feathers hadn't fallen naturally.

Zi Dan frowned slightly as she saw in the distance the corpses of several cloud birds bobbing up and down on the waves.

“It must be the Mirage Maiden who encountered these cloud birds; they are indeed heading in this direction.” Bu Qing’s tone was slightly excited.

Seeing that Zhongli Hu and Zi Dan were calm and composed, he slightly lowered his expression to make himself appear less alarmed.

The sky was still somewhat hazy, and the stars had not completely disappeared.

Zhongli Hu and his two companions finally arrived at the previous battlefield. Many corpses floated on the sea, including cloud birds, blood-eating sharks, and accidentally injured sea fish. The smell of blood attracted a large number of sea beasts, which devoured the corpses.

Zi Dan covered her face and coughed lightly. After taking a calming pill, she felt a little better. She said, "The cloud birds here have all been killed. This Mirage Maiden's cultivation level is probably not to be underestimated."

"Let's go, they can't get far."

Zhongli Hu withdrew his gaze, urged the talisman bird to accelerate, and three streaks of light flashed across the sky before drifting away.

……

Half a month later, when none of the people from Hundred Flowers Island caught up, Ning Fusang knew that Bai Ni's trap had worked.

However, Bai Ni's luck was indeed affected.

On several occasions, mysterious sea monsters would come out and attack them.

Fortunately, these sea beasts were not highly skilled or intelligent, so they did not cause too much trouble.

"Yaoling, look at my luck now."

Bai Ni had just fought off a group of ink octopuses, and with large patches of ink still on her face and robes, she spoke.

Ning Fusang squinted, observing Bai Ni's luck. She remained silent for a long time before her eyes twitched. "No way, after all this time, my luck still hasn't recovered?"

She is a wise woman; she shouldn't have been influenced by the Ghost Cloth Grass for so long.

Ning Fusang shook her head: "No."

"Your bad luck has disappeared, and your luck is even on the rise."

Bai Ni was slightly taken aback, unable to imagine what good thing could happen. After all, this was in the desolate sea.

In fact, Ning Fusang overlooked something. She and Bai Ni made a vow, which, in a way, was a blessing in disguise.

It was her good fortune that radiated to Bai Ni.

During the day, the miasma was relatively light, but at night it became so thick that one could not see their hand in front of their face. Ning Fusang swept a path through it with his Minggui Qingluo fan.

A dim, yellowish light shone through the miasma and entered Bai Ni's eyes. "What is that?"

She couldn't see clearly and didn't recognize him at first. Ning Fusang gestured for Qian Yuan to lower his head and look at the sea.

"ferry."

A ferry on a desolate sea.

Bai Ni frowned. "There are no resources in the desolate sea, so how come there is such a large ferry docked here?"

"There's no one on the ferry."

Bai Ni immediately looked at Ning Fusang. The two were at similar cultivation levels, but she always felt that Ning Fusang's spiritual sense was stronger than hers.

He clearly cultivates the Dream Path, and his spiritual sense is significantly stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level.

Bai Ni's eyes flickered as she pondered something, and finally said, "Since there's no one around now, why don't we go and see if there's anything on the ferry?"

Why not take advantage of a windfall? Perhaps what Yaoling just said about her rising luck is now coming true.

Ning Fusang did not reject it.

However, she wanted to go on the ferry, which was different from Bai Ni's idea.

Ning Fusang simply felt that the appearance of a strange ferry in the desolate sea was very odd. He wanted to go aboard and take a look to see if he could figure out which immortal faction owned the ferry and whether he should avoid it.

But when Ning Fusang boarded the ferry, she discovered that it did not belong to any immortal sect, but to the demon race.

"A ferry of the demon race?" Bai Ni stood on the deck, not yet inside, when she heard Ning Fusang say this, "How did you figure that out?"

Ning Fusang gestured for her to look, "There are the marks of the Peacock Demon Clan on the sail poles."

Bai Ni grabbed Ning Fusang's arm and turned to leave.

Even though she lived overseas for many years, she had heard of the Peacock Demon King. How could she possibly provoke such a powerful demon?
She hasn't lived enough yet.

There's a saying among humans: "Those who understand the times are heroes," and Bai Ni is certainly one of them.

She could escape from Baihua Island, but if she provoked the Peacock Demon King, she would have nowhere to hide, even overseas.

After walking a few miles, Bai Ni released Ning Fusang's arm, feeling increasingly uneasy. "Yao Ling, you've been to the demon realm?"

She didn't recognize the peacock demon clan's mark at first glance, but Yao Ling noticed it immediately.

Unless she is very familiar with the markings of the Peacock Demon Clan, how can this be explained?
The silk robe remained perfectly still, and Ning Fusang lowered her hands, her sleeves fluttering like a dance, making little noise even when blown by the wind.

She smiled faintly and said, "Where wouldn't a rogue cultivator go?"

"Going to the demon realm is risky, but the rewards are plentiful. Fortune favors the bold."

Bai Ni couldn't detect anything wrong with it; this was indeed the way rogue cultivators operated. Lacking resources but wanting to improve their cultivation, they had no choice but to take risks.

Wasn't her painstaking search for the royal court's secret treasure just like that?
The environment is getting worse and worse. Both humans and demons are eyeing the resources of the sea. She can't find any cultivation resources anymore, so she remembered the secret treasure of the royal court of the merfolk.

Bai Ni never imagined that she would seek refuge in the demon realm. The Mirage Clan lived in seclusion and naturally valued freedom; she disliked being bound.

In a way, she and Yao Ling are the same; they are both rogue cultivators.

After the collaboration was completed, we parted ways without any ties, making it the freest possible relationship.

"The peacock demons are warlike and like to eat people. We should stay away from this ferry, lest we get caught up with the peacock demons before we can shake off the Hundred Flowers Sect." She wasn't afraid, but Yao Ling was a human.

Even if they don't actively provoke the peacock demon, the peacock demon won't refuse food that's offered to them.

After all, devouring a cultivator at the Knowledge Realm will greatly increase one's cultivation level.

This is an effect that cannot be achieved even if you capture hundreds or thousands of ordinary people in the human world.
