Chapter 40 Evil Cultivators Attack the Ship
"Hmph, I don't want to be a concubine, that's so lowly! I want to earn spirit stones myself, cultivate diligently, and become a Foundation Establishment expert!"
Yanli waved her hand with what she thought was an imposing gesture, and then clenched her right fist tightly.
"And then what?"
Yuan Yao asked with a smile in her eyes.
Yanli's eyes darted around, and she leaned close to Yuan Yao's ear, lowering her voice and saying with a mischievous smile:
"Hehe, of course it's for ourselves, and for you, Junior Sister Yuan. We'll each find a dozen or so handsome male disciples to fawn over us every day!"
Before she finished speaking, she reached out and tickled Yuan Yao's armpit, causing a burst of clear, sweet laughter to erupt from the stern of the boat.
Suddenly the merchant ship jolted violently, interrupting the two women's playful fight.
"What happened?"
Instinctively, Yuan Yao asked in a panic, and then saw the blue spiritual patterns on the merchant ship light up brightly. The surging wind immediately lifted the entire ship off the sea and turned it around, fleeing at full speed in the direction they came from!
"Why did you go back?"
Yanli's eyes were full of doubt, even though her journey had only just begun.
The next moment, two huge columns of water bursting open on the sea answered their questions.
The iconic white bone warship, along with the corpse flame cannon at the bow, clearly identified the newcomers!
"They're evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island!"
"Ready for battle! All personnel, ready for battle!"
...
Although these disciples of the Six Halls were all well-trained, their solemn expressions and trembling voices failed to inspire any confidence in others.
Two loud booms rang out as the two skeletal warships opened fire simultaneously, sending two millstone-sized green fireballs hurtling towards them.
Fortunately, a layer of cyan protective shield condensed in time, and although it was blasted and trembled, it managed to block the first wave of attacks.
The two loud "thump-thump" sounds from the explosion of the massive corpse flames seemed to strike Yuan Yao and Yan Li's hearts directly, shattering their previous beautiful dreams and revealing the bloody reality of the Chaotic Star Sea!
Immediately afterwards, they saw a large number of black-clad, black-faced evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island fly out of the two white bone warships on their magical artifacts.
Without any hesitation, these evil cultivators immediately used their respective methods to fiercely attack the merchant ship's cyan light shield.
One of the evil cultivators stood out the most. While everyone else was attacking relentlessly, this man stood on a white bone flying sword, arms crossed, protecting everyone in front of him, showing no intention of making a move.
Yuan Yao glanced at him briefly, but the evil cultivator seemed to notice her and immediately swept his cold eyes, hidden behind his mask, over her.
Instantly, a fierce intent surged straight into her primordial spirit. Yuan Yao felt a tremor in her heart, as if she were being stared at by a ferocious beast. She hurriedly looked away and even subconsciously softened her breathing.
"Everyone, go all out!"
At this moment, a command was given, and the Qi Refining cultivators on the ship began to fight back.
Yanli tugged at Yuan Yao's arm, bringing her back to her senses, and immediately said:
"Junior sister, don't be afraid. Senior sister will definitely protect you. Besides, we haven't gone too far from Golden Ring Island. As long as you hold on, everything will be alright!"
After saying that, she also summoned her magical weapon and attacked the nearest evil cultivator.
......
"Luo Shiba, why aren't you making a move? Are you disobeying orders?!"
Luo Qing had been watching the battle from the rear for a short while when he received a telepathic message from a Foundation Establishment cultivator on the warship behind him.
"Our senior uncles aren't in a hurry to make a move, clearly intending to besiege the island and attack reinforcements. I wonder which island we're attacking?"
Luo Qing, however, remained unfazed and calmly replied with her question.
"Hmph, you're quite clever, young one, but that's not your business. Make your move quickly, or I'll have to say it twice!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator did not deny Luo Qing's guess, but he seemed to be following some orders and did not reveal the true target of the attack.
Seeing this, Luo Qing did not insist any further. He immediately patted his storage bag and summoned five blood skulls.
Although this was a mid-grade magic weapon he obtained from the five female disciples of Xuanhun Peak, such magic weapons were extremely common not only on Jiyin Island but also in other demonic sects.
Therefore, he wasn't worried at all that these five blood skulls would cause any trouble.
With his powerful divine sense, Luo Qing could easily control five mid-level magic artifacts at the same time.
The five blood skulls, capable of both close and distant attacks, were immediately propelled by Luo Qing's magic power. A flash of bloody light appeared in their mouths as they simultaneously blasted towards the azure light barrier.
With this kind of setup, it seems that Luo Qing's firepower alone is equivalent to that of five people of the same level.
In reality, Luo Qing was already slacking off to the extreme at this point.
After chasing each other for half an hour, the blue light shield of the Six-Connected Palace merchant ship was already teetering on the brink of collapse, but the Golden Ring Island had also come into view.
A flash of light appeared on the island, clearly indicating that something was amiss, and reinforcements were already on their way.
However, at this moment, Dong Zhou, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who was in charge of the merchant ship, showed no sign of relief.
Since the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the Bone Warship had not made a move, neither he nor the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the ship dared to show themselves.
But as time went on, Dong Zhou felt more and more that this group of evil cultivators were too calm and collected.
By this time, Golden Ring Island was already in sight, and he was basically certain that their merchant ship was not the real target of this group of evil cultivators.
That's Golden Ring Island!
However, Dong Zhou did not issue any warning, because if his guess was correct, the number of evil cultivators was definitely more than that.
Exposing the truth will do no good; it will only hasten his death!
"Better to sacrifice my fellow Daoists than myself! This time, I have no choice but to bleed!"
After muttering something, Dong Zhou looked at the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Six-Hall Alliance on the ship:
"The situation is critical. We must initiate the abandon ship plan immediately. Go and store the most valuable goods into the nine storage bags, then await my orders!"
The two men were startled and dared not delay. They bowed slightly and turned to leave.
A moment later, Yuan Yao and more than ten other temporary guards from Golden Ring Island were invited into the captain's cabin.
Dong Zhou stood before them with a serious expression, with more than a dozen golden storage bags radiating astonishing spiritual energy in front of him.
"All of you young friends are local cultivators and are very familiar with the surrounding seas."
Although they are now close to Golden Ring Island, Mr. Dong still needs to make some preparations just in case.
These storage bags contain the most valuable items on the ship, and they cannot be lost!
If things go wrong later, as long as you can deliver the storage bag to any shop in the Six Palaces, you can get 10% of the goods.
Before this, it is strictly forbidden to open the storage bag, otherwise the power of the restriction will be unleashed, and the goods inside will be scattered in the spatial turbulence.
Not only will you gain nothing, you may also lose your lives!
"Senior Dong, the evil cultivators have surrounded this ship. We are all just Qi Refining cultivators. If anything happens to us, how can we possibly break through!"
The people weren't fools; carrying these golden storage bags would make them prime targets for the evil cultivators.
The temptation may be great, but if you can't actually eat it, it's meaningless.
"Of course I understand."
Dong Zhou smiled faintly, then patted his storage bag, and more than a dozen glittering silver talismans appeared in his hand.
"Therefore, I, Dong, have prepared a small teleportation talisman for each of you!"
