I saw a ship less than ten feet long and about three feet wide parked on the shore. This ship was of course also a Yuan soldier, but it was much simpler than the ship Yang Qi had taken before. Apart from the basic formation, it was just a deck. It would be more accurate to call it a small boat than a ship.
Such a sea vessel is estimated to be worth only 100,000 or 200,000 crystals. For one voyage, the Sea King Pavilion actually charged him 10,000 crystals. This is really unscrupulous!
“Senior, this ship is indeed a bit crude, but ordinary third-rate forces all have such ships. Only those sects that can achieve outstanding results in the Thousand Sects Alliance can get better ships.” Seeing Yang Qi frowning slightly, the old man hurriedly began to explain.
Hearing the old man's words, Yang Qi was stunned and asked in confusion, "Isn't this ship owned by your Sea King Pavilion?"
"Senior, aren't you from my overseas cultivation world?" The old man looked at Yang Qi and said.
Yang Qi explained half-truthfully, "I am from the Great Chu Empire. When I was traveling in the Great Zhou Empire, I heard about the overseas cultivation world, so I came here to travel. I had some insights before, so I retreated near the Sea King Pavilion area to break through."
"No wonder you didn't know." The old man nodded and continued, "In fact, except for the second-rate forces, most of the third-rate forces' ships were donated by the ten major sects headed by the Thousand Star Sect to facilitate exchanges among our cultivation forces."
I see.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He really didn't know about this. It was precisely because of this that the old man could tell from his words that he was not from the overseas cultivation world!
Although the ship was a bit crude, Yang Qi did not regret it. He still paid the full amount of 10,000 crystals and boarded the ship of the Sea King Pavilion. Under the urging of the old man, the ship quickly sailed towards the Thousand Star Island.
Although the ship in front of him was simple, its speed was not much slower than the large ship Yang Qi had taken before. It was just that its defense array was obviously one level weaker and could only withstand the attack of a peak martial master. However, the overseas cultivation world was full of islands, which was much safer than the routes of large ships. Even if it could only defend against the power of a peak martial master, the ship would not encounter any danger.
"Senior, it will take some time to reach Thousand Star Island. You can rest for a while." The old man looked at Yang Qi and said.
Yang Qi stared at the island outside the protective formation, smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, I just want to take a good look at the overseas cultivation world."
There are tens of thousands of islands in the entire overseas cultivation world. These are relatively large islands where practitioners live. If you count those uninhabited and small deserted islands, the area occupied by the overseas cultivation world definitely has hundreds of thousands of islands!
Thousands of sects and islands are the true portrayal of the overseas cultivation world!
The ship was speeding on the sea, and the islands were disappearing rapidly from both sides of the ship. With Yang Qi's eyesight, he could see that as the ship kept moving forward, the islands it passed by were becoming more and more prosperous, and he could even see some commercial ships sailing on the sea. In the area where the Sea King Pavilion was located, there was only one ship, the Sea King Pavilion. It was obvious that the Sea King Pavilion belonged to the cultivation force in the border area. Otherwise, even if the Zhou family was very bold, they would not dare to make trouble in the Thousand Sects Alliance. That was a grand gathering of countless forces in the overseas cultivation world. If they were discovered by forces like the Thousand Star Sect, the Zhou family would be destroyed in an instant!
At this moment, the old man beside him suddenly said, "Senior, the road ahead may be a little bumpy, please forgive me."
"It's okay." Yang Qi smiled calmly after hearing that. After entering this sea area, he found that the number of islands around him had obviously decreased and the water flow had become more turbulent. It was obvious that the sea area in front of him was a relatively dangerous area.
This danger does not come from sea beasts, but from the environment of the sea itself.
As the ship entered the sea in front of them, the hull began to shake, but because the ship activated the defensive formation, it was not in any danger.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yang Qi's eyes focused. In his perception, several powerful auras were rapidly rushing towards the ship. To say they were powerful was only relative to him now. The strongest among them was just a practitioner of the Nine-Star Martial Sect.
"The Zhou family?"
Yang Qi thought to himself that as soon as the Neptune Pavilion's ship arrived here, someone came to kill them. This group of people might be from the Zhou family, which had a grudge against the Neptune Pavilion.
"but… "
Yang Qi's gaze swept across the other eight people on the ship, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. The other party grasped the timing so accurately. It was likely that someone among the people from the Sea King Pavilion had defected to the other party!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the distance on the sea, several figures were walking on the sea. Each of these practitioners was a high-level martial arts practitioner.
"not good!"
Looking at the figures flying over, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "They are from the Zhou family, quickly strengthen the formation!"
Before he finished speaking, the old man had already controlled the ship to quickly move away from the figures that were flying towards him. The Zhou family was now much stronger than their Sea King Pavilion. The people in front of them were all high-level martial masters, and there was even a nine-star martial master among them. They were not someone they could resist.
Upon seeing this, several practitioners from the Sea King Pavilion immediately activated their energy to bless the formation. The intention of the Zhou family's practitioners appearing here was obvious!
Although the speed of the ship was not slow, the rapid current in this area slowed down the speed of the ship a lot. However, the several high-level martial artists of the Zhou family were not greatly affected. Within a few breaths, the Zhou family had surrounded the ship.
The old man looked at Yang Qi standing beside him and said apologetically, "Senior, I'm really sorry that I have implicated you this time."
"No problem."
Yang Qi said calmly that he could easily kill several high-level martial masters, but he had no grudges against the Zhou family, so there was no need to kill anyone.
The old man looked at the Nine Star Martial Sect leader and shouted, "Zhou Dahai, you dare to attack our Sea King Pavilion during the Thousand Sects Alliance Meeting. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Thousand Star Sect?"
Knowing that they were no match for the Zhou family, the old man could only bring up the Thousand Star Sect. The Thousand Star Sect Alliance was a grand gathering of the overseas cultivation community, during which all the major cultivation forces would temporarily put aside their grievances. The Zhou family took action against the Sea King Pavilion at this time, but it was for the sake of the rules of the major cultivation forces.
The leader of the Nine Star Martial Sect heard this and sneered, "Xu Dongyang, you have lived for more than a hundred years. Now that we are here, we are sure to get away. You should just prepare to die."
"If you want to kill us, you may not be able to do it with just a few of you." Xu Dongyang said with a cold smile.
Although the ship's defense formation can only withstand attacks from peak martial masters, the strongest member of the Zhou family is only at the early nine-star martial master level. It is not so easy to break through the ship's defense formation. What's more, Xu Dongyang had already sent a message for help as soon as possible. As long as they hold on for a while, rescue from the sect will arrive.
Although the strength of the Sea King Pavilion has been greatly reduced and is far from being a match for the Zhou family, it is not difficult to resist Zhou Dahai and his men! (To be continued)
