Seeing her master, Jiang Yuebai felt relieved. As long as nothing happened, everyone was so mysterious, which made her think that something big had happened.
Jiang Yuebai couldn't wait for the ship to dock, so he rode his crane into the air and headed straight for the port terminal.
The waves were sparkling, and ships were coming and going, with hundreds of vessels lined up on both sides of the T-shaped harbor.
The cranes cried, scaring away a flock of seagulls.
Jiang Yuebai put away the crane in the sky above the port, and with its white feathers flying all over the sky, it lightly landed in front of Li Jiuchuan.
"Master."
Li Jiuchuan had already seen her, nodded in agreement, and looked her over.
"I pay off my debts every day, and my cultivation hasn't fallen behind, not bad."
Jiang Yuebai frowned, "How do you know that I pay my debts every day? And you are not surprised to see me, could it be..."
Li Jiuchuan smiled gently, "The Grand Elder has already sent me a message, saying that you must have come to the North Sea to look for me."
"So why did you suddenly come to Beihai? Aren't you with Lu..."
"cough!"
Li Jiuchuan suddenly interrupted Jiang Yuebai, and Jiang Yuebai understood and stopped talking.
At this time, the port was crowded with people, and many ships were queuing to enter, making it very lively.
Li Jiuchuan said to the two Jindan Zhenren, a man and a woman, behind him, "Please guide the disciples of Tiangang Peak. I will take her into the city first."
The two masters bowed and left. Li Jiuchuan signaled Jiang Yuebai to follow and follow the flow of people towards the distant city.
Li Jiuchuan walked very slowly, and Jiang Yuebai walked neither fast nor slow. Out of habit, he took out the veil that blocked his spiritual sense and put it on, looking around secretly.
The monks here have mixed accents, and their clothing is a mix of the characteristics of the nine regions of the Central Plains, which looks neither fish nor fowl yet has a unique style.
The pure white rock houses are square, built according to the terrain of the mountain, and densely stacked together. They are messy and crowded, yet prosperous.
A stream of air swept over Jiang Yuebai, separating him from the people around him and preventing their conversation from being heard by outsiders.
Li Jiuchuan looked at Jiang Yuebai again and praised with a smile, "I haven't seen you for two years. You are much calmer. Before, you rushed out when we passed by the rice ball stand just now."
"Ah? There was a rice ball stand just now? In..."
Jiang Yuebai was about to turn his head to look for it, but suddenly he realized it and narrowed his eyes, "Master, you lied to me. I told you that I was fasting, but you just didn't believe me."
Bi Ya City has no gates. The island is the city and no pass is needed.
Li Jiuchuan led Jiang Yuebai up a three-meter-wide staircase that seemed to have no end. There were white stone houses on both sides. They opened the doors and windows facing the stairs, set up tarpaulins to set up stalls and do business.
There were crowds of people and a lot of noise. Shell wind chimes were hung under the windows of every house, and they made a rattling sound when the sea breeze blew.
Jiang Yuebai found it interesting, so he looked at it for a while, then looked away. Suddenly, he noticed that there were layers of paper pasted on the white stone walls on both sides of the stairs.
Just like the bounty warrants I had seen in the mortal government offices before, there was a portrait on top and the content of the bounty below.
"Ren Long, the right guardian of the Sanyuan Sect, is in the middle stage of the Jindan period. His head is worth 5,000 high-grade spirit stones, and his soul is worth 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Are Jindan cultivators so valuable? After selling his head and then his soul, can't I get 15,000?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiuchuan tripped over the stairs, and Jiang Yuebai hurriedly reached out to help him.
"Master, please be careful. If Yuanying Zhenjun trips over the stairs, he will be laughed to death."
Li Jiuchuan took a breath and said, "You are really something. What can I say about you? Look at those pictures over there."
Li Jiuchuan pointed in a direction with his chin and Jiang Yuebai turned his head.
Li Jiuchuan nodded, "Senior Brother Lu came to Beihai for this reason."
The Senior Brother Lu he mentioned was Lu Yinghuai, who was previously the third strongest Yuanying stage fighter in Tianyan Sect and was also a powerful figure.
Li Jiuchuan continued, "Feiyan Pavilion Master Fang Ruyan has just succeeded as the head of the Fang family. She wants to stop this matter. She has also used some means to persuade other families, but there are always people who pretend to obey but secretly disobey."
"The Lu family is still a big family after all. Once it is destroyed, those members of the Lu family who have escaped by chance will become meat on the chopping board of others."
Jiang Yuebai frowned and whispered, "They also wanted to use Anan as meat on the chopping board."
Hearing this, Li Jiuchuan looked at Jiang Yuebai deeply and said, "No matter what, you must not get involved in this matter anymore."
"I didn't want to get involved in the first place. Master, you just said that Master Ying Huai came for the Lu family's disciples. Aren't you the same?"
Li Jiuchuan continued to walk forward, "Brother Lu asked for help from everyone in Tianyan Sect, but no one was willing to help him. Although he is a utilitarian and face-conscious person, he has never had a grudge against me, so I accompanied him to the Lu clan's land."
"It was... a horrible sight. Those who were lucky enough to survive still couldn't escape the butcher's knife. I saw people from the Sanyuan Sect there, and one of them gave me a feeling that he looked a lot like Qing Nangzi."
"Isn't he dead?!" Jiang Yuebai asked in surprise.
Li Jiuchuan had a worried look on his face. "When I killed him that day, I felt that it was too easy. He was a medical practitioner, and his best skill was escaping and saving his life."
"So you chased him to the North Sea? Did you find any trace of him?"
"Probably in the several bases of the Sanyuan Sect in the sea outside."
Jiang Yuebai caught up with Li Jiuchuan in two steps and said, "What should we do now? How many people are there? Should we attack them directly, or make a feint to the east and attack from the west? Or should we lure the snake out of its hole and catch the turtle in the jar?"
Li Jiuchuan looked at Jiang Yuebai's excitement and laughed, "Even if I came to your door, I wouldn't take you with me."
"Why?" Jiang Yuebai asked aggrievedly.
"The situation in the North Sea is complicated. Feiyan Pavilion, Tianjiu Palace, Sanyuan Sect and the outer sea monster cultivators are checking each other. This matter needs to be considered carefully. I need to discuss it with Senior Sister Fuyi before making a decision."
"Okay~"
Li Jiuchuan led Jiang Yuebai along the winding stairs, sometimes up and sometimes down, until Jiang Yuebai was almost dizzy, and finally they arrived at a white stone house facing the sea halfway up the mountain.
"The offshore wind will blow to Bi Ya Island in the next one or two days. By then, the sea will be in chaos. Even a Jindan cultivator will be severely injured if he is hit by the wind."
"All nearby cultivators will take refuge on Bi Ya Island. Fei Yan Pavilion will then activate the island protection formation, and it will be difficult to find a place to stay. Tang Weiman will also be here soon, so you two will just suffer here for a few days."
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the small house, then at the blue sea to the west, and said with a smile, "It's great to be able to see the sunset here at dusk."
Li Jiuchuan took out a jade talisman and said, "This is a communication talisman that can quickly send messages within the island. Carry it with you. This island is not small, and it is the most crowded time. If you go out and encounter danger, send a message in time. It is best not to act without authorization."
"Got it." Jiang Yuebai took the jade talisman with both hands.
Li Jiuchuan looked at Jiang Yuebai and asked doubtfully, "Don't you have any questions for me?"
Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and said, "No, I asked Master Lingjun on the way here. I have just established my foundation, and his knowledge is enough for me to digest for a long time. By the way, Master, do you have a map of Bi Ya Island, the kind that can mark your location?"
Li Jiuchuan smiled and said, "The terrain of Bi Ya Island is complicated. Maps like that are useless here. You have to rely on your own exploration and memory. You should wash up and take a rest. I will go... greet Master Lingjun."
After temporarily seeing off her master, Jiang Yuebai walked into the house and took a casual look. She didn't feel tired, so she changed into low-key clothes and went out directly.
Looking at the disorganized stairs, Jiang Yuebai prayed that he would not get lost and unable to return.
I had something urgent to do this morning, so the second update will be postponed to the evening. Sorry!
