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

"Strategist, what should we do?"

Outside the cabin, the Purple Whale Gang members were all furious.

They all thought Yue Buqun was blind and was just randomly banging on the drums and gongs for a long time, but they never expected that they would all be fooled by him.

Now even the gang leader has fallen into their hands.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Qiu Xuan.

Qiu Xuan retorted angrily, "How would I know what to do?"

In fact, he knew exactly what to do.

The upper deck is a cargo hold. If he doesn't want to rescue people, he can simply break into the hold, giving him ample opportunity to kill!

If you want to save someone, carefully pry open a small opening and pour the sleeping potion inside...

Even if things go wrong, we can still sink the bottom of the boat. No matter how good Li Feiyu is at swimming, can he really swim for three days and three nights?

Once they get to the sea, aren't they just meat on their chopping board?

But the guy's words implied that if he wanted the gang leader dead, he would come to save him...

In this way, even if he successfully rescues the gang leader, the gang leader will not only not be grateful to him, but will probably be wary of him!

It's one thing if they can't be rescued, but the real fear is that they might be successfully rescued!

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

Qiu Xuan roared, "The gang leader's life is in his hands! Set sail immediately... but change the destination to Purple Bay. Also, arrange for all the gang members in the bay to disguise themselves as ordinary seafarers. If he dares to set foot on the shore, we'll stab him to the bone and show him the power of the Purple Whale Gang!"

"Yes."

Everyone immediately understood the strategist's plan.

Purple Bay wasn't originally called Purple Bay. It was only after it was occupied by the Purple Whale Gang and became their base for sailing that it gradually became known as Purple Bay.

That place could be considered the headquarters of the Purple Whale Gang, but from the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary port.

Once Li Feiyu steps onto that spot, even if his martial arts are ten times better, he won't be able to escape alive.

"But before that..."

"Let's cooperate with Li Feiyu first!"

Qiu Xuan felt secretly resentful. If Li Feiyu had taken the gang leader hostage on land instead of at sea, he would have had plenty of ways to use the pretext of rescuing the gang leader to eliminate all the loyal confidants.

But this place is right in the middle of nowhere, at sea.

They missed a good opportunity, but the gang leader lost an arm, greatly reducing his strength, and he may not be able to control the Purple Whale Gang in the future.

He still has a chance.

Meanwhile, inside the cabin.

Yue Buqun and Hai Kuotian got along very well.

Even when the Xuan Tie Sword Token fell into Yue Buqun's hands, Hai Kuotian showed no emotion. Clearly, the moment it fell into the other party's hands, he knew he couldn't keep it.

He watched as Yue Buqun turned his back to him, fiddling with the sword token in his hand.

He said, "I can give you this, but only if you spare my life..."

"You're bribing me with my things again."

The purple aura on Yue Buqun's face slowly dissipated.

Now that his Purple Cloud Divine Skill has advanced by leaps and bounds, with the purple energy flowing around him, Qiu Xuan and the others thought that what they said was very detailed, but in fact, Yue Buqun heard it all.

He glanced at Hai Kuotian and asked, "Could you trade me something I haven't discovered yet?"

"This item is called the Mysterious Iron Sword Token. You should know its effects, but you don't know how to contact those three assassins, do you?"

After taking the medicine, Hai Kuotian felt much better, but his internal organs were still aching. Considering the other party's so-called "bone-melting palm technique," he dared not make the slightest move.

He said, "The person who received this order is Qianxiu Jianlin Qingyun. He is a coward who is afraid of death. I only peeled half of his skin off, and he honestly confessed everything to me."

Yue Buqun paused, his hand gripping the sword token. He glanced at Hai Kuotian and asked, "If I skinned you half alive, would you confess honestly?"

Hai Kuotian firmly replied, "Unless you promise not to kill me, you can torture me for three days and three nights, but I still won't tell!"

Yue Buqun: "You trust me that much?!"

Hai Kuotian said solemnly, "I've spent my whole life in the underworld and I've seen too many people. Although you're ruthless, I can tell you're a man with principles. If you promise not to kill me, at least half of my life will be saved. As for the other half, it's on my side."

"Yes, as long as you don't do anything stupid, we can part ways amicably!"

Yue Buqun stared intently at Hai Kuotian and sighed, "It seems we'll have a very pleasant time together these next few days."

"Yes, under the sword's edge, all I want now is to survive."

Hai Kuotian sighed, "In two days it will be Laba Festival, which is my seven-year-old son's birthday. I won't be able to go back in time. I originally wanted to give him this sword token as a gift, but now I think giving him a father who has survived a near-death experience would make him even happier."

"What? Laba Festival isn't until two days later?"

Yue Buqun exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it today?"

"Of course not!"

Yue Buqun: "………………"

So it seems that I stayed on Bat Island for too long, and due to the confusion between right and wrong, I misjudged the time?

Yue Buqun looked at Hai Kuotian with a hint of pity in his eyes.

You know, if he hadn't misjudged the time, felt melancholy, and gone up to the deck to relax, he might have actually been blocked at the door by Hai Kuotian.

If the opponent were to wield a divine weapon like the Longevity Sword and catch him off guard, the situation might not be what it is now.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"It's nothing."

Yue Buqun looked down at the divine weapon in his hand.

The Longevity Sword was now fully revealed, its silver light dazzling, unlike any ordinary weapon it had previously possessed.

He sighed inwardly, "If I had this sword in my hand, along with my martial arts skills, I might have been able to uphold the sect's reputation. But now... alas..."

At the same time.

Huashan School.

The snow was still thick, covering the rugged rocks with a pure white coat.

A playful breeze occasionally blows by, stirring up clouds of white sand.

On Jade Maiden Peak.

Ning Zhongze was dressed in a well-tailored, plain white martial arts outfit.

Her smooth, flowing hair was simply tied up with a black hairpin, leaving a few playful strands of hair to flutter in the wind across her forehead.

She has a beautiful appearance, clear eyes, and a heroic spirit between her brows that is no less than that of a man!

She was holding a sheathed longsword at that moment.

His gaze was fixed on the new disciple in front of him, who was firmly planted in a horse stance.

He appeared to be supervising his fellow disciples, but his eyes were actually wandering, and his thoughts were already elsewhere.

Or rather, what she was thinking at that moment was exactly the same issue that Yue Buqun was pondering.

"In the blink of an eye, it's been almost a month since we arrived here. The time for the Alliance Removal Conference is fast approaching. I wonder if those people from Shaolin, Wudang, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects, after arriving at Mount Hua only to find it empty, will think we, the Huashan Sect, are untrustworthy and two-faced?"

Ning Zhong was unaware of the exchange of the two Huashan peaks.

Therefore, her worries were even greater than Yue Buqun's.

She let out a soft sigh.

His gaze remained fixed on the beautiful and delicate-looking young woman in front of him.

The girl, feeling uneasy under his gaze, gently bit her lip and hesitantly asked, "Um... Master Uncle, is there... something I did wrong?"

No, you did very well.

Ning Zhongze snapped out of his daze and realized that he had actually lost focus while instructing his disciple, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

She praised, "Zhenzhen, you've done very well. It seems your foundation is truly solid. Starting tomorrow, I will formally begin teaching you the sword techniques of our Huashan Sect!"

"Really?"

The delicate young girl, Hua Zhenzhen, showed a look of joy, then asked with concern, "But didn't you say before that you would wait for Master to return before teaching me swordsmanship? Why did you suddenly..."

"Let's not wait for him. Who knows when he'll be back? But your foundation is already solid. There's no point in continuing the fight. It's better to quickly learn my Huashan martial arts and swordsmanship!"

"Very good."

While Hua Zhenzhen expressed her joy, she also felt a sudden sense of relief.

at last……

No need to pretend anymore!
