Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 249 The Chase (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Gu Xinglan..."

Watching the receding sword light, Dong Pingyin sighed:

"If the desires in people's hearts are not suppressed, they will become extremely terrible. They will not only become greedy and bloodthirsty, but also give rise to delusions and jealousy."

“Brother Zhu, if I hadn’t intervened, he wouldn’t have reacted so strongly.”

"Sorry!"

"That's not how it works," Zhu Ju shook his head.
"The matter arose because of Zhu. If you hadn't intervened, Fellow Daoist Gu probably wouldn't have let it go so easily."

"Speaking of which, I must thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

"Heh..." Dong Pin chuckled lightly.
"In short, Brother Zhu, you should be careful in the future and not go out alone too often. I'm afraid he might really do something bad to you."

When Gu Xinglan left, he exuded murderous intent without any attempt to conceal it, so he might very well be capable of such a thing.

Zhu Ju nodded slowly.

"senior."

Tao Caiwei, speaking excitedly from the merchant ship below:
"Thank you so much, Senior Zhu, for saving me. I am deeply grateful."

"We've traveled together for several days; how can we just stand by and watch?" Zhu Ju waved his hand and said.

"Release the array on the ship and allow me to check it. If there are no problems, we should leave this dangerous place as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Tao Caiwei hurriedly agreed and ordered the formation to be removed.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he could perceive the situation on the ship, and there was nothing noteworthy.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that Tao Caiwei was about to leave by boat, Dong Pin reached out to stop her and threw a token at her.
“Nowhere else is safe right now. You can go to Cloud Whale Island to take shelter for a while and come back after things calm down.”

"With my token, the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce will treat you as one of their own."

"Huh?" Tao Caiwei was taken aback at first, then overjoyed:

"Thank you, senior."

indeed.

At this time, Emerald Lake Island was in chaos, but the journey back was not necessarily peaceful either, as there was a risk that some bandits might take the opportunity to cause trouble.

It would be better to go to Cloud Whale Island to take refuge, and then set off with a trustworthy cultivator once the storm has passed.

What's more.

There was still a lot of cargo left on the ship that hadn't been sold.

Not only can you sell goods on Cloud Whale Island, but you might also have the chance to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Dong Pin stood up.

"Fellow Daoist is meticulous and thoughtful," Zhu Ju followed closely, saying:
"Thank you very much."

"No need." Dong Ping shrugged.

"I didn't give out the token out of respect for you, fellow Daoist. It's just that that girl reminded me of my past."

"Female cultivator..."

"It's not easy!"

…………

On the sea.

More than ten ships sailed in a line, cutting through the waves.

Upon seeing Zhu Ju and Dong Pin, a beam of light rose into the air, revealing the figure of a middle-aged scholar in mid-air.

“We are a merchant caravan from the Wu family of September Island. If you two would do us a favor, I, Wu, will surely repay you handsomely in the future.”

"Of course." Dong Pin smiled gently.
"Please release the array on the ship, fellow Daoist. We only need to take a look. If there are no problems, we will not stop you."

“This…” Wu Tongfu frowned slightly.

Besides some seafood, the Wu family's ship also had some shady items that might cause some trouble.

"Fellow Daoist," Zhu Ju began.
"The Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce is truly enraged this time. We are only acting under orders, so we hope you will not make things difficult for us."

“Look at the other merchant ships, they’re all like that.”

He pointed to the caravans that were moving away behind him, and said that all the cars that passed through this area had been inspected.

There's no reason why you should be an exception.

"Alright!" Wu Tongfu's expression changed, and he finally sighed helplessly.
"Please hurry, both of you."

Although the Wu family has a Dao Foundation expert, it is still just a small family and cannot compare with the Xiang family of Cuihu Island, let alone the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce, which could destroy the Xiang family.

Although he was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, while the two in front of him were only early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he did not dare to act forcefully.

He then waved his hand dismissively:
"Release the formation!"

"Om..."

A flash of light appeared, and the dozen or so ships below simultaneously dispersed from their protective formation.

Second-order formation?

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although it's only a second-tier low-grade formation, it's still quite remarkable that he was able to inscribe a second-tier formation on a merchant ship.

He didn't know.

The majority of the Wu family's assets on September Island are on these dozen or so ships; they've invested a fortune.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the auras of nearly a thousand people entered his perception.

Each person is like a flame, some flames are bright, some are weak, and so on.

"no problem."

Dong Pin nodded:

"Fellow Daoist, you may leave now."

You have to be selective when asking for favors.

Those who lack the strength can ask for it openly and honestly.

For families like the Wu family, they should be grateful that the other party gave them face by removing the formation; asking for more benefits might backfire.

As for the dozen or so people detained on the other ship...

Although she feared the source was illegitimate, since it had nothing to do with the person the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce was looking for, she couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

"Thank you."

Wu Tongfu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, shouting:

"go!"

"Wait a minute," Zhu Ju suddenly spoke, pointing to one of the merchant ships:
"There's something wrong with this ship."

His spiritual power is strong, and the key is that he is proficient in various secret techniques, especially his keen sensitivity to qi and blood.

One of the people on the ship had a qi and blood that did not match his apparent cultivation level.

"Oh!" Dong Pin's beautiful eyes sparkled, and spiritual light shone around her, with several golden needles and magical artifacts swirling around her.

She was very cautious.

Regardless of whether it's real or fake, let's first unleash the ritual implements, just in case.

"Impossible!" Wu Tongfu shouted coldly.

"Are you two deliberately trying to make things difficult for me...?"

"Shh!"

Before he finished speaking, a sword light shot out from the ship that Zhu Ju had just pointed to and flew south.

The person sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to show himself and flee.

?

Wu Tongfu's expression froze.

The sword light was dim, but its momentum was astonishing, yet it could not escape the perception of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He was a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Innate Realm, wielding a top-grade magic weapon. He must have used a secret technique or relied on a spiritual talisman, which is why his sword-wielding speed was in no way inferior to that of a cultivator from the early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

His appearance was even more familiar.

"It's him!"

"Master Tang's disciple, Chi Liangong!" Zhu Ju and Dong Pin exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and even a hint of smugness in each other's eyes.

Chi Lianggong.

Zhu Ju had met him several times.

Sometimes when I was with Master Tang, Yan Nanshuang would call me over to ask me questions about formations.

The Yan family seemed to want to learn Master Tang's skills through him, but unfortunately, the other party was a die-hard follower of Master Tang.

"I'll chase him!"

Dong Pingyin's voice was inspiring:

"I trouble Brother Zhu to guard this place."

Without waiting for a reply, they sped off in the direction Chi Liangong had fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

For her, even if she couldn't find Master Tang, capturing one of Master Tang's disciples would be a great achievement.

How could we possibly miss such an opportunity?

"Fellow Daoist," Wu Tongfu gritted his teeth, his face filled with resentment.
“That person is not from our caravan. If you need assistance, I can send someone to help you catch him.”

"I know." Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"That person used a human skin mask, which is a mortal's method and is therefore not easily detected by cultivators."

"There's no need to send anyone to assist. I'll trouble you to carefully inspect this merchant ship and see if there are any of that person's accomplices."

"Yes." Wu Tongfu roared down, his face grim.

"Search for me!"

"Check them one by one, every ship must be checked, and we must not allow anyone to sneak into the line."

"Shh!"

Before he finished speaking, another sword light shot out from the ship below, swerved in mid-air, and sped away into the distance.

Wu Tongfu's expression was stiff, and his face was extremely ugly.

Fuck!
Is it over?

"Ah……"

Zhu Ju sighed, looked around, and said helplessly:
“Fellow Daoist, please do not leave in a hurry. Please wait here for a while while I go and see what is going on.”

As he spoke, he made a hand seal, and the Horizontal and Vertical Blade released a blade of light that enveloped him, making him and the blade one as he chased after the sword light.

"Shh!"

A faint glint of sword light skimmed across the water's surface, leaving a long, deep mark on the calm water.

Several miles behind it.

A glint of blade light pursued them at a leisurely pace.

"Early stage of Dao Foundation!"

Zhu Ju's eyes flickered as he thoughtfully watched the fleeing sword light ahead:
"He's neither from the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild nor a cultivator from the Xiang family. I think I've seen him once at the auction."

With his divine soul power, he already possessed the ability to remember everything he saw; he would never forget anything he had ever seen.

"Well……"

"Not the goal."

There must be something wrong with the other party, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen to flee upon hearing about the strict investigation.

but,
Zhu Ju was not interested.

Realizing that he had been chasing them for some time and would be able to report back by now, he gradually slowed down.

"Ok?"

Never thought.

He had just slowed down when the sword light ahead seemed to have exhausted its strength, its speed also gradually decreasing.

Zhu Ju squinted.

"Shh!"

"Swish!"

A flash of sword light and a glint of blade light swept past, one after the other.

Zhu Ju froze, hovering in mid-air, looking at the swaying sword light ahead.

"Is he out of magic power, or is he deliberately faking it to lure me in?"

He stroked his chin, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

Regardless of whether the other party had truly exhausted their magic power, causing their speed to decrease sharply, he had lost interest in playing along.

"Want to go?"

"You've been chasing Liao for so long, and you think you can just leave?"

He had just turned around when a furious roar came from behind him:

"Stay!"

The sword light flew at a speed far exceeding that of before, and dozens of ice pillars, each over ten feet long, fell from the sky.

Water can freeze into ice.

Mystic Ice Talisman!
Second-tier spirit talisman.

"Wow..."

Zhu Ju shrugged, and the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings unfolded from his back, closing up to block all the ice pillars.

"what?"

"With some skill, it's no wonder he dared to chase after us alone."

The cultivator surnamed Liao raised an eyebrow, then flicked his fingers to form a hand seal. Suddenly, the sword light intensified, connecting with the phantom of an angry Buddha in the air.

Wrathful King Sword Technique!

The sword light differentiates!

A sharp sword intent descended from the sky, instantly enveloping several acres of land, and the seawater below suddenly sank.

This blow.

It already possessed the power of a mid-stage Dao Foundation cultivator.

"boom!"

Sword light flashed and energy roared.

Zhu Ju's figure flashed and retreated dozens of feet, then he stood firmly on his feet.

"Your magical artifact..." The cultivator surnamed Liao was taken aback upon seeing this, his gaze immediately falling on the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings, his eyes flashing with greed:

"A potential magic weapon!"

"Ha ha!"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"nice one!"

"I never expected there would be such an unexpected gain."

The Wind and Thunder Blade Wings just now only showed a slight power, but it had already exceeded the category of top-grade magic weapons, so it must be a magic treasure in the making.

It only takes a few years to nurture it, and it can be upgraded to a magic weapon. If you can get your hands on it, your strength will definitely increase greatly.

"kill!"

With a roar, the cultivator surnamed Liao slashed rapidly with his sword, simultaneously throwing a honeycomb several meters high into the air with one hand.

"Om..."

With a soft buzzing sound, black bees the size of a thumb flew out of the hive and rushed towards Zhu Ju.

"what?"

Zhu Ju drew his magic incantation, and several streams of magical light slashed down.

More than ten black bees were swept by the streak of light, and landed crookedly on the sea surface. They steadied themselves halfway there and flew off again.

"it's useless."

The monk surnamed Liao chuckled softly:

"My nest of Xuan Yu Peak is a rare species among bees. Its flesh is as hard as a high-grade magic weapon, and it can devour anything."

"Killing them is no easy task."
