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

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the cabin door.

"Hero, we will reach the shore in half an hour. Our strategist said that you should prepare to release our leader. To show our sincerity, we can allow you to take our leader hostage and land safely first. We will release him after you are sure you are safe."

"I understand, thank you for your help."

Inside the passenger cabin.

A smile appeared on Yue Buqun's lips as he sighed, "It seems that this strategist Qiu is truly cunning. This Purple Bay is your territory, yet I've brought you up here tied up. It seems to be for your safety, but in reality, it's to make you lose face and greatly diminish your prestige. In addition, with your arm gone, your martial arts are not what they used to be. He's clearly paving the way for his own rise to power."

After several days adrift at sea.

Yue Buqun and Hai Kuotian had reached a tacit understanding, and the bindings were no longer as tight as before.

However, Yue Buqun's martial arts skills were already superior to Hai Kuotian's, and now he also had the divine weapon Changsheng Sword in his hand. Hai Kuotian knew that if he dared to resist, his chances of escaping would be extremely slim.

Therefore, the two got along very well and could chat for a while from time to time.

Now we know that Yue Buqun's words were a deliberate attempt to sow discord.

But Hai Kuotian's expression remained gloomy.

Clearly, he also knew that these words were not without meaning.

He said seriously, "But the final decision isn't mine, it's yours. Now that you know Purple Bay is Purple Whale Gang territory, you shouldn't do something so stupid, right?"

"Since you've helped me so much, I certainly won't embarrass you."

Yue Buqun said solemnly, "No matter what, although I cut off your arm, took away your weapons and treasures, and tied you up here for several days, making you lose face, I truly had your best interests at heart. Your strength has greatly diminished, and your prestige will certainly suffer. Even for the sake of your wife and children, you must be wary of this strategist Qiu. Honest advice is hard to hear, whether you listen or not is up to you!"

Hai Kuotian was so angry that he burst out laughing.

But he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

In reality, both sides were playing their cards with their backs to the table.

Hai Kuotian knew that this "murderer and arsonist Li Feiyu" was undoubtedly an alias.

However, given that the other party possesses the Longevity Sword, investigating their true identity should not be difficult.

That's why he deliberately sowed discord before leaving, aiming to cause infighting within the Purple Whale Gang.

In this way, he was busy integrating the gang and naturally had no time to cause trouble for him anymore.

From this perspective, since the other party was intentionally trying to sow discord, it is clear that they truly had no intention of taking his life.

Moreover, what he said was indeed reasonable; Qiu Xuan really could not be allowed to live.

on the deck.

The gang member returned.

Qiu Xuan asked with concern, "How is it?"

The henchman replied, "The other party has already agreed."

"That's good."

Qiu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "The entire area within ten miles of Purple Bay is our Purple Whale Gang's territory. He probably never expected that even the fishermen and merchants making a living there are our people. As soon as he loosens his grip on the gang leader, everyone will swarm him. Even if he had wings, he wouldn't be able to escape alive!"

He said, "Give the order to everyone to speed up and get to Purple Bay as fast as possible. I can't wait to take his life!"

"yes!"

Everyone responded and went about their own business.

But it only takes the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Oh no! Oh no!"

Suddenly, a group of men rushed up, shouting, "The bottom of the boat is leaking!"

Qiu Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "How can such fine ironwood leak? Where is it leaking? Is it serious?"

"It's just that... the cabin where that thief kidnapped the gang leader is leaking. Now the cabin is completely flooded, and the water is starting to spread upwards."

"What?"

Qiu Xuan was overjoyed and asked, "Then how is the Chief... how is the Chief?"

"Thanks to the strategist's good fortune, I'm still alive and well!"

At that moment, a rough, booming voice rang out.

Hai Kuotian strode out.

Despite losing an arm, he has an amazing physique.

In addition, Yue Buqun used the finest wound medicine when applying it to him, and he also had plenty of meat to supplement his nutrition.

In just a few days, apart from the fact that he had lost an arm and his face was a little pale, he no longer showed any signs of weakness.

At this moment, his eyes turned sinister as he stared intently at Qiu Xuan and said, "Military Advisor Qiu seems quite shocked to see me safe and sound?"

Qiu Xuan blinked blankly, then his face lit up with surprise. "That's great! I knew the leader would be safe and sound. By the way, where's the thief?"

He's gone.

"Gone?"

"That's right. He wasn't just pretending to be blind; he's also an excellent swimmer. He was too far from the shore before to go into the water, but now that he's close, he simply cut open the cabin and escaped against the current!"

Hai Kuotian said, "At least he kept his word and untied me before leaving, otherwise I would have drowned by now."

Qiu Xuan exclaimed with delight, "Our leader is incredibly fortunate to have escaped death! This is a great joy for our Purple Whale Gang! Don't worry, leader, I'll send men to chase after him right away and make sure that scoundrel doesn't get away!"

"No need, he's already far away, you can't catch up with him anyway."

Hai Kuotian coldly said, "Moreover, this person's swordsmanship is superb. Even if we chase after him, we probably won't come out unscathed. If we make a scene and the Bat Prince finds out, it will be harmful to us. Let's just drop this matter."

"But Master, your arm is broken, are you just going to let it go like this?"

"Even with a broken arm, I'm still the leader of the Purple Whale Gang, and I can still intimidate the villains!"

Hai Kuotian coldly replied, "Return to Purple Bay immediately, or do you think you can disregard me just because I, the gang leader, have lost an arm?"

Qiu Xuan keenly sensed the dissatisfaction in Hai Kuotian's words.

He couldn't help but feel secretly aggrieved.

Heaven have mercy, it was clearly the other party who kidnapped you, so why do I feel like I'm the one being targeted now?

At that moment, all he could do was respectfully reply, "Yes!"

The large ship has a hole in it.

But the Purple Whale Gang members, who make a living at sea every day, naturally have a solution.

The leaking compartment was separated and sealed with a bulkhead.

The shore is not far away; just getting through this voyage shouldn't be a problem.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

On the sea, a figure bobbed up and down in the water, moving towards the shore.

The original Yue Buqun grew up in the mountains from a young age, so he was naturally completely ignorant about swimming. But swimming skills are like knowledge; once you know them, you know them.

Even with a different body, it still works.

As the champion of the children's swimming competition in his previous life, coupled with the fact that Yue Buqun's Zixia Divine Skill is now extremely profound and his breath is long, he is even more at ease in the water!

Especially the sheepskin floatation bladder obtained from Hai Kuotian.

Who could have imagined that the wisdom of the ancients was so outstanding that they had lifebuoys at that time?

Moreover, it is carried by hand at sea and can be used simply by blowing air into it.

This made Yue Buqun secretly sigh, realizing that being kind to others is indeed the most important thing.

He cut off Hai Kuotian's arm, took his most precious treasure, and even took him hostage.

He was even willing to tell him about the existence of the floatation pouch, although it was also for his own protection. But for the sake of the Xuan Tie Sword Token and the Longevity Sword, he decided to befriend Hai Kuotian.

"From here, go east for thirty li to reach the official road, and you can then return directly to Mount Hua!"

Although Yue Buqun was still adrift at sea, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

I wonder how my junior sister has been doing all alone on the mountain all this time!

And after returning to Mount Hua.

Only then did he truly gain freedom.

At that time, you can truly consider your own future and the future of Mount Hua.

For example...

The Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng?

Even Yuan Suiyun coveted this martial art, so how could Yue Buqun, as the dignified head of the Huashan Sect, not covet this set of sword moves?

Fortunately, he does indeed have a way to obtain the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng!
