Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

Through the original plot and his close contact with Yuan Suiyun during this period, Yue Buqun has gained a deep understanding of him!

Although this was only the first time this guy had conducted an auction for Bat Island, he had arranged many details in a very orderly manner.

Although he repeatedly said that he had no experience the first time and some oversights were inevitable...

However, these so-called oversights were more about mistakes made by subordinates during execution, and they were all in the details.

After all, Jin Lingzhi has already arrived on the island, so it's probably only two or three years away from the start of the Bat Island storyline...

Bat Island is auctioned once a year, yet it managed to reach such a scale in just two or three auctions without anyone noticing anything amiss.

This demonstrates the audacity of Yuan Suiyun's plan and the meticulousness of his execution!

To maintain the secrecy of these clients' identities, he would never allow these dozens of martial arts masters to meet at sea.

A better approach would be for each person to design their own independent flight path and land at different times.

In addition, because Yue Buqun was teaching swordsmanship, he left much later than everyone else.

By now, all the renowned martial arts masters should have already reached the shore.

This ship...

Something is wrong!

Yue Buqun turned around and saw a sneaky figure on the deck stealthily darting into the cabin.

He used his lightness skill to leap up and arrive behind the man in a few steps, grabbing him by the back of his collar.

The man immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to Yue Buqun.

He cried out, "Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me! I don't know anything..."

Yue Buqun stared intently at the man.

Judging from his clothes, he seems to be a sailor?

"The person who said that must know something."

Yue Buqun looked at the pale-faced sailor, his tone softening slightly as he reassured him, "Don't worry, you're not of high status. I'll believe you if you say you have nothing to do with this. As long as you honestly tell me the truth and answer my questions, I guarantee I won't harm your life."

The sailor, pale with fright, cautiously looked up and saw Yue Buqun with a gentle expression. Although his eyes were hidden by a black veil, his upright posture and refined gentlemanly demeanor were evident.

He carefully said, "Sir, you've been resting in your cabin all this time. I didn't expect you to come out so suddenly, and I was afraid of disturbing your peace, so I sneaked out..."

"I'm not asking about your sneaky behavior. I'm asking you about the details of that ship that's approaching this way."

Yue Buqun's tone remained gentle as he said, "Answer me, and I'll release you immediately. You can continue to escape as if you've never seen me. Otherwise, I'll have to drag you here with me to see if this ship is really heading for me."

Upon hearing this, the sailor shuddered again, glancing at Yue Buqun's eye patch with some suspicion.

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "I am a member of the Purple Whale Gang. Recently, I have been tasked with transporting people at sea for a big shot. This big shot seems to have made some deals with our gang leader, but our gang leader is coveting those big shots' treasures. So while helping that big shot transport people at sea, he has been secretly engaging in robbery and murder on the sea!"

Yue Buqun asked, "So your leader is on that ship? Is he coming for me?"

The sailor's voice trembled with tears. "Sir, I'm just a lowly lackey, and that's all I know. Please let me leave. If our gang leader sees me standing with you, given his temperament, I'm sure I'll be dead."

Yue Buqun nodded upon hearing this and said, "Alright, you may leave."

"Thank you, sir."

The man turned to leave, but Yue Buqun struck him on the neck with a palm strike, causing him to roll his eyes and fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I won't kill you, but I also can't let you leave and tell others that I already know the truth."

Yue Buqun's expression was extremely solemn.

Purple Whale Gang?

He knows this gang all too well.

They committed all sorts of atrocities at sea, including burning, killing, and looting. However, their gang leader did have a partnership with Yuan Suiyun, specifically responsible for transporting the VIPs attending the Bat Island auction.

However, in the story's later years, Yuan Suiyun obtained the Phoenix Tail Gang's ships and then conveniently and brutally murdered Hai Kuotian, the leader of the Purple Whale Gang.

Now it seems that Yuan Suiyun realized that Hai Kuotian was ruthless and opportunistic, and that although he cooperated with him to help, he actually had other intentions behind the scenes.

However, even with the power of Wuzheng Manor, it would be difficult to achieve anything at sea, so he could only pretend not to see it.

Then, he secretly plotted to use the Phoenix Tail Gang as a replacement. After succeeding, he immediately destroyed the Purple Whale Gang, leaving Hai Kuotian to die a frustrating and helpless death. Even his remaining forces were swallowed up.

But that's a story for another time!

Now, Yue Buqun can even clearly understand why he has been targeted.

Previously, everyone left at the same time, but on different routes. Even with Hai Kuotian's abilities, and for the sake of secrecy, he could only keep an eye on one or two of them at most...

After all, a bird in the hand is worth more than a hundred birds in the forest!

So if you're lucky, you might actually return safely and smoothly.

But when Yue Buqun left, he was all alone on his boat, with no other crew members.

If Hai Kuotian had tasted success before, he would never let go of this fat leek.

Ha... Yuan Suiyun couldn't even fleece me, and now a third-rate villain is going to fleece me?

Although Yue Buqun already knew the truth, he was not at ease at all.

Keep in mind, this is on a vast, blue sea.

Whether it was the boatman or the sailor, they were all members of the Purple Whale Gang. In other words, his every move during this period was probably under Hai Kuotian's surveillance.

If they dare to take action, they must have something to rely on!

He had nowhere to escape.

It seems this will be a bloody battle, and in some ways, even more terrifying than being targeted by Yuan Suiyun.

However, there may still be advantages that can be utilized.

Suddenly, Yue Buqun had an idea; he had already come up with a way to turn defeat into victory!

At this time.

Opposite, a large ship braved the wind and waves, rushing straight towards the passenger ship ahead.

In fact, the speed of the ship opposite had been gradually decreasing. However, since there was no comparison in terms of speed, unless one was extremely familiar with the sea, they would not realize that this ship was waiting for another ship to invade and plunder it.

"Um?"

At that moment, on the ship, a burly, tall man stared intently at the target ahead. He asked, "Wasn't it said that the target hadn't come out of the cabin all this time? How did he get onto the deck?"

"This...maybe they've been cooped up for too long and came out for some fresh air?"

Behind Hai Kuotian, his capable strategist Qiu Xuan appeared completely unconcerned. He chuckled, "Chief, there's no need to worry too much. We've waited this long, and there won't be a third ship within a hundred miles. Even if this kid had wings, he couldn't fly ashore. And the sea is our domain. Are you really afraid he'll escape your grasp?"

"Hahaha, strategist, what a brilliant plan! You've already helped me acquire quite a few treasures. As a distinguished guest of Bat Island, this kid must be even more wealthy!"

Hai Kuotian laughed loudly, "Most importantly, this is at sea. If he dies at sea, no one will know. Even if that Bat Prince has connections everywhere, he'll never find out that I'm the one who stole his prize... Hahahaha... Speed ​​it up! I can't wait to see what I want from him. Remember, everything will proceed according to plan!"
