From the Valkyrie to the Endless

When talking about the Heart-Searching Stone, Wen Yunfeng looked much more cautious and said in a deep voice:

"When you enter the island, the guards will ask you three questions. You can answer them according to your true thoughts. Generally speaking, as long as you are not someone with ulterior motives, you will not be troubled. Remember not to lie casually."

Shen Qing's eyes flickered: "If I don't pass the examination, is there any other way to enter the island?"

"Of course."

Wen Yunfeng nodded slightly and said half-jokingly:

“If the name of Twelve Moon is on the Heavenly Ranking, even if you enter the island directly, no one will stop you, and there may even be a Grand Master who will come to receive you.”

"The last time a certain Grandmaster entered Longquan Fairy Island, this was the result, but that was fifteen years ago."

Chapter 58 Lifeline

Fifteen years ago…

After hearing this, Shen Qing thought for a moment and then connected it to Sikong Yuan.

I think after Shen Lie gave him a chance to live, his first stop might have been Longquan Fairy Island.

"You don't have to worry too much. With Lingyu on the way, the people of Longquan Fairy Island will not make things difficult for you."

"Besides, you have an old relationship with Mr. Sikong. Mr. Sikong has a high status in Longquan Fairy Island. He is the only person who has seen my Wen family's ancestor in the past hundred years. For this reason, you will not encounter any difficulties when you enter the island."

Seeing Shen Qing silent, Wen Yunfeng spoke to reassure her. His lineage was an extension of the Wen family of Longquan Fairy Island. The fairy island, which was mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, was not that surprising to him.

"I would like to ask if President Wen knows about the incident involving Longquan Fairy Island injuring someone at the port?"

Coming back to his senses, Shen Qing asked casually.

"I am not in a position to say more about this. I would also like to advise you not to mention this matter after entering Longquan, so as not to cause trouble."

Wen Yunfeng looked a little solemn. After explaining a few words, he left quickly, walking hurriedly and looking very busy.

"That..." Wen Lingyu hesitated for a while, and finally sighed:

"Seven days later, the fleet will set out to sea. I will come to look for you then."

Watching Wen Lingyu leave, Shen Qing felt a little more trust in him.

Judging from Wen Yunfeng's subtle reaction, Wen Lingyu did not casually tell others that she was a woman. Although this was harmless, it at least showed that she was careful with her words and would not speak carelessly.

…………

…………

Seven days passed in a flash.

In a place like a trade port where all kinds of people gather, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely polluted. Shen Qing practiced day and night in the inn for seven days, but he made no progress at all.

If she stayed here for too long, she might even show signs of regression in her cultivation.

The ancient method of cultivation requires too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth. In this era when the path to cultivation is almost cut off, it is no longer feasible. Without a sundial, it is impossible for her to reach the realm of manifestation in such a short time.

In the busy port, the cargo ships have been prepared. The entire fleet has more than 20 ships of various sizes. The largest ship is nearly thirty feet long. It is equipped with sufficient food and fresh water, and is fully loaded with various cargo resources.

The wind and waves were quite strong today, and even the big ship was shaking a little. Shen Qing followed Wen Lingyu all the way to the main ship. After stepping onto the deck, she couldn't help but feel her mind move, and she sensed a surge of energy and blood, like a furnace, extremely eye-catching.

A burly figure stood at the forefront of the treasure ship's deck, standing still on the slightly swaying deck as if he had taken root.

The blazing blood and energy were flowing in his body. He was obviously a master of martial arts who had reached the stage of refining blood and transforming it into yang. The blood and energy had a terrifyingly high temperature that could almost melt gold and iron.

"That person is Ning Zhao, who ranks 33rd on the Earth Ranking. He has been working for my father for more than ten years. He has been the one who has been escorting the route to Longquan."

Wen Lingyu briefly introduced a few things, and then whispered: "There is a cargo ship going to Longquan almost every month. It is extremely important. Without these supplies, people on the island will have trouble eating."

The purpose of the existence of Wen Yunfeng's lineage in this port is to nourish Longquan Fairy Island. Without the supply of these supplies, people on Longquan Fairy Island will probably starve to death.

This route has become particularly important and cannot be lost.

Hearing this, Shen Qing immediately thought of many things. If this route is so important, then cutting off this route would be like strangling half of Longquan Fairy Island's lifeline...

boom--

Before she could think it over, a figure descended from the sky and stepped onto the deck. A big hole was created on the deck, which was several feet thick and covered with iron sheets. The whole treasure ship was shaken, and a group of sailors fell to the ground.

Wen Lingyu also failed to stand firmly. If Shen Qing had not helped him, he would have rolled to the ground.

The man was of medium build, with a long sword on his back, dressed in black, wearing a copper mask and a silver plate hanging from his waist. Under the mask, his narrow eyes contained a bone-chilling coldness.

When Wen Lingyu saw this person, his expression immediately changed and his cheeks turned slightly pale.

Purple face and silver waist, the Great Xia Divine Detective!

Apart from cases involving humans and demons, the Divine Investigation Division only handles major cases. Wherever the Divine Investigation Division appears, there will be bloodshed and death.

The burly man standing at the front of the deck turned around, and after seeing this attire, he also looked solemn and did not dare to move.

Today, Lingzhou is still the Great Xia Empire, and the Divine Capture Department is the most powerful department under the Emperor. If you go against it, you may be in great trouble and your entire clan will be wiped out.

Not to mention that he is a Grandmaster on the Earth List, even if he is a Grandmaster on the Heaven List, he will die the same!

"The emperor has ordered that from now on, all large-scale trade with overseas countries will be suspended, and all materials will be supplied to the court first to help the army suppress the rebellion."

The detective stood with his hands behind his back and threw down a stack of silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels. Judging from the thickness of the notes, it was definitely more than enough to buy all the supplies for the entire caravan.

"The imperial court has requested this batch of supplies. We will immediately arrange for a fleet to sail south along the coast and transport them to Yuanzhou by water."

The detective's tone was cold and firm, with an unquestionable firmness.

"Could you please be flexible? These materials have already been taken. Can you let us finish this order first?"

Wen Lingyu took two steps forward, bowed, and solemnly assured: "We will gather all the materials the court needs within two days and set sail for Yuanzhou. We will not delay the court's important affairs."

"Don't you understand what I just said?"

The detective remained unmoved, his eyes growing colder: "Are you going to disobey my order?"

Before he finished speaking, the long sword behind him was ready to move. A soft hum was heard, and murderous intent was evident. Wen Lingyu was so frightened that he took a half step back. His face was almost bloodless and turned pale.

Not far away, Shen Qing looked around. There were many ships coming in and out of the port, and there were still ships going out to sea without any interference.

There was only this one ship, surrounded by more than a dozen detectives.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qing narrowed his eyes and thought of a lot in an instant. Although these supplies were a lot, they were just a drop in the bucket for a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of troops.

Moreover, the Divine Investigation Department only targeted the Wen's Chamber of Commerce and stopped the cargo ships bound for Longquan. This might be related to the bloody incident that occurred in the port of Longquan Fairy Island last time.

It is obvious that the real intention is not to drink, but to cut off the lifeline of Longquan Fairy Island.

Ning Zhao took two steps forward and stood in front of Wen Lingyu, allowing him to avoid the murderous aura. He spoke calmly and without servility:

"Master, please be patient. We have no right to decide on such a large transaction. I will inform the president of the Chamber of Commerce and ask him to accept the order and then arrange for the fleet to set sail."

It is obviously unwise to confront the Divine Police Department head-on. Now there is only one thing to do: delay it.

Chapter 59 Departure

"Ning Zhao was from Wu Gou County, Anyang Prefecture, Yunxia County, Fengzhou. His parents died early. He joined the Qingyuan Sect at the age of six. He went down the mountain at the age of ten and killed more than ten people that night."

"In the second year of Longyuan, when you were only seventeen, you were already a master of innate skills, and you made a great name in the martial arts world, known as 'Shagui'. In the third year of Longyuan, you secretly assassinated a fourth-rank prefect and his servants in Yuanzhou, a total of twenty-two people. In the seventh year of Longyuan, you killed a third-rank military officer at the border of Qianzhou, and at the same time killed one hundred and twenty-seven of our soldiers..."

After staring at Ning Zhao for a long while, the Purple-faced Detective finally spoke, and he reported Ning Zhao's life from childhood to adulthood, detail by detail, as if he knew everything about it.

After he finished speaking, he spoke again, his tone was cold and hard, and he was filled with murderous intent: "The lives you have on your shoulders are enough for you to die ten times. If you try to stop me again today, I will take you back for questioning."

Ning Zhao's expression changed at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This was his first time dealing with the Divine Detective Division. He had heard of the horror of the Divine Detective Division a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to be so terrible. The Divine Detective Division knew almost everything about him!

This undoubtedly means that if the Divine Police wanted to arrest him, he would have been imprisoned or even killed long ago.

Ning Zhao turned around and glanced at Wen Lingyu. He was in a dilemma for a moment. After a few breaths, he did not move his feet and said in a deep voice: "I hope the detective will be patient. The president will be here soon."

The Wen family has supported him for more than ten years. Now that they are in trouble, he cannot just stand by and watch. The worst that can happen is that he will flee overseas after this incident. Anyway, he is all alone. The Qingyuan Sect where he learned skills has been razed to the ground by the imperial army. He is left alone with no worries.

"Then I'll wait for Wen Yunfeng to come."

The detective stared at Ning Zhao for a long while, but did not put further pressure on him. Instead, he relaxed his mouth. He glanced at the deck, and his gaze under the copper mask paused slightly, stopping at Shen Qing next to Wen Lingyu, and suddenly said, "You, take off your mask."

Shen Qing narrowed her eyes and gradually tightened her hand that had been pressing the long sword behind her waist. With the intelligence network of the Divine Detective Department, even if he had never seen her, he must have seen her portrait. If Yang Zongxian knew that she was still alive, her situation would turn from dark to light and she would lose many conveniences.

Seeing that she didn't move, the detective took two steps forward, his tone still cold: "You are sneaking around. Come back with me to the government office later to verify your identity."

Shen Qing saw through the truth of this sudden trouble in an instant. It was still aimed at the Longquan Fairy Island behind the Wen's Chamber of Commerce. These divine detectives came here just to cause trouble.

However, it was obviously impossible for Shen Qing to go back to the government office with him like this. If necessary, she could only kill these detectives. After all, it would not be the first time.

During the stalemate, a figure hurriedly stepped onto the deck. He seemed a little plump, but his movements were very agile.

"I didn't know the divine detective had arrived. I'm sorry for neglecting you."

Wen Yunfeng went up to the deck, walked to the divine detective in three or two steps, picked up the banknotes on the ground, put them into his sleeves, smiled apologetically, and bowed repeatedly: "I already know about the matter. I will arrange for the ship to set sail immediately and rush to Yuanzhou. I will never miss the important event of His Majesty."

"Ah."

The detective nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at Shen Qing: "You, follow me."

Obviously, he didn't intend to let it go.

Before he finished his words, there was a deafening explosion in the sky, and a sword light streaked across the sky and landed on the deck.

A grey-robed figure descended from the sky, his face covered by a bamboo hat. However, when the detective saw the extremely long sword on his back, his expression changed immediately. His eyes were filled with horror, and he let out a scream:

"Slayer of Demons!"

boom--

As soon as the roar was heard, the figure of the detective was thrown into the air in an instant. He didn't even have time to draw his sword, and he fell heavily into the cabin. His chest and abdomen collapsed visibly, and he kept coughing up blood. It was obvious that his heart and lungs were injured.

Under the crushing of a higher realm, even a master would be vulnerable. He would lose his combat effectiveness in one encounter and would be unable to rise again.

When the people from the Divine Constable Division who were surrounding the treasure ship heard the roar, they turned around and fled madly without any hesitation.

The Demon Slayer can enter and exit the imperial capital as if he were in an empty space. They are simply not able to resist him. The first priority is to pass the news back as soon as possible.

Sikong Yuan didn't say a word. In a few jumps, he caught up with the many fleeing detectives and captured them all with one palm.
