Chapter 178 Come out and face your death!
Jiang Tao asked in a deep voice:
"Did Miss Yu receive any news?"
"How did Xiao Bieli end up fighting with the remnants of the Great Zhou?"
"They all have a common enemy, so they should logically join forces!"
He's really starting to panic.
If Xiao Bieli managed to extract information from Zhou Yuan when he killed him, such as the relationship between the Salt Gang and the Great Zhou, then...
If exposed,
If he encounters Xiao Bieli on this trip, then things will be somewhat dangerous.
Yu Jinxiu glanced at Jiang Tao and shook her head, saying:
"Although my Jiangshan Pavilion has some connections overseas, it is not in the Central Plains after all."
"Moreover, I've been on the ship the whole time and haven't received any useful information. I even learned about Xiao Bieli's actions along with you all."
"The choice of the Demon Blade is always unexpected."
Jiang Tao was getting a little anxious, but if Xiao Bieli hadn't told him about the relationship between the Salt Gang and the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she would have just assumed that Jiang Tao was concerned about Xiao Bieli's movements.
"I thought things would be calmer overseas..." Zuo Gonghu shook his head and said:
"Hmm...it might be because of the appearance of the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli that things have become so restless!"
Thinking back to the rumors I heard about Xiao Bieli in the Central Plains, he was the kind of person who would cause a stir wherever he went.
Yu Jinxiu looked at Zuo Gonghu and asked:
"Senior, what brings you to sea this time?"
Their Jiangshan Pavilion and the Beggars' Sect had a fairly good relationship. The Beggars' Sect had always focused on its small territory in the Central Plains and had little contact with the overseas martial arts world.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Gonghu's face turned ugly.
This voyage yielded no results whatsoever, except for the corpse of the Corpse Refining Sect disciple on Little Cow Island, and not even a trace of the Corpse Driving Sect thieves who stole the old gang leader's corpse.
This time, we may still need to rely on Jiangshan Pavilion's connections overseas!
Thinking of this.
Zuo Gonghu looked at Jiang Tao and said:
"Elder Jiang, could you please excuse us for a moment?"
Jiang Tao nodded quickly, then turned and left.
That's how realistic the martial world is. If he were also a second-rank Celestial Being, even if there were things to discuss, he wouldn't be the one leaving.
After Jiang Tao left, Zuo Gonghu said in a deep voice:
"The old gang leader's body has been stolen!"
"The one who stole the old gang leader's body was a traitor of the Corpse Driving Cult. All we know is that he went to sea seven or eight days before us. I originally wanted to look along the way for any clues, but I didn't find a single clue along the way."
"Perhaps I will need your help, young lady, to see if you can find any clues."
"Regardless of whether or not we can find the old leader's body, our Beggars' Sect will offer a generous reward!"
Yu Jinxiu's expression changed slightly, and she said:
"Senior Zuo, rest assured, given the relationship between Jiangshan Pavilion and the Beggars' Sect, I will do my utmost to find clues for you."
"Although my Jiangshan Pavilion does not have its own power overseas, it has good relations with some experts from overseas forces."
"As long as that traitor of the Corpse-Driving Cult shows up a few times, we will definitely be able to find clues."
Zuo Gonghu nodded, but then he caught a glimpse of two figures walking toward the port out of the corner of his eye, and his expression changed slightly.
Yu Jinxiu, who was sitting opposite Zuo Gonghu, also noticed that Zuo Gonghu's expression had changed and asked in confusion:
"senior?"
"Could it be that they've discovered clues about the Corpse-Driving Cult?"
Zuo Gonghu remained silent.
After a long while, when a small boat sped away from the harbor, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just saw a very important figure from the Daoist Heavenly Sect!"
"Such a person would actually come to the East Sea... No, he came for the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli?"
A big shot in the Heavenly Sect?
Did they come for Xiao Bieli?
Yu Jinxiu's expression changed slightly, and she asked in a low voice:
"Which important figure from the Heavenly Sect?"
Zuo Gonghu said in a deep voice:
"Fan Suiyun, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect!"
"I saw Fan Suiyun twice from afar. He and I are of the same generation, but his martial arts skills... I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as his!"
"The Heavenly Sect cultivates the Great Dao and rarely pays attention to external affairs."
"However, I heard that the Imperial Observatory wanted to take action against Fan Suiyun, but was stopped by that person in the palace."
"Fan Suiyun owes a great favor to that person in the palace. Only the palace can persuade Fan Suiyun to take action."
"And the only one worth Fan Suiyun traveling all the way to the East Sea for is 'Demon Blade' Xiao Bieli!"
……
The small boat beneath Fan Suiyun and Guan Xuanyun sped across the sea like an arrow released from a bow.
Our destination is Shenlong Island!
Guan Xuanyun stood behind Fan Suiyun, his face showing a more solemn expression:
"This Xiao Bieli truly lives up to his reputation as a usurper. In just over a month, his martial arts have likely improved to another level. If we don't eliminate him as soon as possible..."
Thinking of how Fan Suiyun was also made into a great medicine by the Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Sect using three first-grade medicines that had survived four tribulations as the main ingredients and supplemented with spiritual medicines, thus changing Fan Suiyun's fate against all odds.
In a way, Fan Suiyun could also be considered a usurper.
Back then, the Imperial Observatory almost came to blows with Tianzong because of Fan Suiyun.
I just don't know why Master didn't continue to intervene back then.
No one knew better than him how strong Professor Jianzheng was.
Even if the Heavenly Sect goes all out, the Supervisor might still be able to put up a fight!
Fan Suiyun didn't even turn his head, and sneered:
"If Xiao Bieli wasn't the one who usurped fate, your supervisor wouldn't have had that person in the palace write a letter asking me to come out of seclusion!"
"However, as long as I kill Xiao Bieli, my relationship with that person in the palace will be wiped clean!"
"From now on, you won't have to worry about repaying favors!"
Guan Xuanyun said:
"When I left the palace, General Chen gave me a letter from His Majesty. There is also contact between the palace and Bai Tianxun, the Mad Saber of the East Sea."
"Should we seek to join forces with Bai Tianxun?"
Fan Suiyun shook his head:
"Even though Xiao Bieli has already survived four tribulations and possesses strength comparable to someone who has undergone five tribulations, I can still kill him!"
……
Longshou Mountain
Xiao Bieli frowned slightly as he looked at the list that Feng Si Niang handed him.
"Why are you showing me this?"
"Just bring over the martial arts from Dragon Head Mountain!"
"Can you take all this gold and silver treasure back with you?"
Feng Si Niang glanced at Xiao Bieli and murmured:
"I didn't intend to take it all back, but Longshou Mountain is just too rich!"
"They even have several Yuan Shen Pills, and so much gold and silver. It would be such a waste not to take them back."
"If all else fails, we'll just load gold and silver instead of other people loading cargo!"
"Once we get back, we can just leave the Blood-Clad Tower and start working on our own!"
Xiao Bieli shook his head:
You decide what to do!
"The road back might not be smooth, and it will be difficult to bring these things back!"
"And it's just a Nascent Soul Pill, yet it excites you so much. What about this one?"
Xiao Bieli took out a porcelain bottle containing the essence blood of a dragon from his sleeve and opened the cap.
A refreshing aroma emerged, without the slightest hint of blood.
"I've already processed this dragon's essence blood; it's not as violent anymore. You can consume it once you reach the third-grade Grandmaster realm; it will help solidify your foundation..."
Before Xiao Bieli could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked westward towards Shenlong Island.
A voice came from afar, slowly growing closer:
"Demon... Demon Blade... Demon Blade Xiao Bieli... Come out... Prepare to die... Prepare to die!"
