Thinking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was considered meticulous, but still far behind Tang Qin. At least now he didn't understand why Tang Qin came in person after hearing the news.
"It's a pity that Shi Yu hasn't grown up yet." Yang Qi sighed lightly.
He focused on training Shi Yu because he hoped that Shi Yu could become a figure like the military strategist of the Earth. However, Shi Yu had been practicing for too short a time. Even with his focused training, he was only at the Martial Master level now. At least he had to wait until he broke through to the Martial Sect Master level before he could play a role.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared on the ship.
When Xu Dongyang and the others saw Yang Qi return, they immediately became extremely respectful, "Senior, thank you for saving us. If you hadn't helped us, we would have died."
"No need to be so polite. I didn't take action just because of you." Yang Qi said calmly.
In fact, he had no intention of killing the Zhou family's practitioners at first. After all, there was no grudge between the two sides, otherwise he would not have just knocked Zhou Dahai away without hurting him. It was not until he found out that Zhou Dahai and his companions were members of the Corpse God Cult that Yang Qi killed them. Otherwise, Yang Qi would have just forced Zhou Dahai and his companions to retreat.
"I haven't asked for your name yet, senior?" Xu Dongyang asked respectfully.
"Yang Lin."
Yang Qi did not reveal his real name. After all, his name was quite famous in Zichen Continent, and there was no guarantee that practitioners in the overseas cultivation world would not know him. Naturally, he did not want to reveal his real name when he traveled abroad this time.
“Okay, let’s continue on our journey. If you are any later, you really won’t be able to make it to the Thousand Sects Alliance Meeting.” Yang Qi said calmly.
"yes!"
Xu Dongyang responded respectfully, and immediately urged the ship to continue heading towards Thousand Star Island.
Seeing the ship set off again, Yang Qi looked at Xu Dongyang and asked, "How much do you know about the Zhou family?"
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Xu Dongyang was stunned at first, and then he told him what he knew about the Zhou family.
According to Xu Dongyang, the Zhou family was a cultivation family in the overseas cultivation world. Originally, their strength was not much different from that of the Sea King Pavilion. The two sides had always fought and had deep resentments. However, the Sea King Pavilion at that time was much stronger than it is now, with dozens of high-level martial arts masters alone. However, the Zhou family suddenly rose to prominence later and achieved impressive results in the Thousand Sects Alliance. Even the Zhou family's talented disciples entered the headquarters of the Thousand Sects Alliance to serve.
The headquarters of the Thousand Sects Alliance is somewhat similar to the Council of the Earth Martial Alliance. Although it has no substantial power, the headquarters is responsible for things like passing on messages and contacting other cultivation forces. This time, the Sea King Pavilion did not receive the news from the Thousand Sects Alliance headquarters to inform the Thousand Sects Alliance because the Zhou family's cultivators deliberately delayed the news of the start of registration for the Thousand Sects Alliance. If the sects that the Sea King Pavilion is familiar with had not privately notified it, the Sea King Pavilion would not know about this news.
The rise of the Zhou family, which even gave birth to a martial arts master, has already entered the level of a second-rate force. Although the Sea King Pavilion is angry, it dare not fight the Zhou family directly. Under the suppression of the Zhou family, the Sea King Pavilion is weaker than the previous generation. Now there are only dozens of martial arts masters.
Yang Qi had no interest in the feud between the Sea King Pavilion and the Zhou family, so he asked directly, "When did the Zhou family start to rise?"
“According to the records in the sect, this should have happened about a thousand years ago. The rise of the Zhou family was a bit sudden. Otherwise, even if our Neptune Pavilion was defeated, we would still be able to entangle the Zhou family and would not be suppressed to the state it is now.” Xu Dongyang said with a wry smile.
After all, the Zhou family and the Sea King Pavilion were originally not much different in strength. If the Zhou family had the opportunity to rise, the Sea King Pavilion would definitely not watch the other party rise. It was just that the Zhou family rose too suddenly, and by the time the Sea King Pavilion reacted, it was already unable to disrupt the rise of the Zhou family.
"It suddenly rose about a thousand years ago." Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he vaguely grasped something.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "In the past few thousand years, are there any other cultivation forces that have risen like the Zhou family?"
“Senior, there are hundreds of cultivation forces in the overseas cultivation world who are able to participate in the Thousand Sects Alliance, and there are even more practitioners at the Martial Sect level. Rise and fall are common occurrences, but I haven’t paid special attention to this.” Xu Dongyang said with a wry smile.
Although there are not many top-notch masters in the overseas cultivation world, there are many cultivation forces, especially the third-rate cultivation forces. The strongest of the third-rate forces is only at the Martial Sect Realm, with a lifespan of only 200 years. It is normal for them to rise and fall in thousands of years! Just like the third-rate cultivation forces in Zichen Continent, there are countless of them. Unless it is related to their own third-rate forces, who would pay attention to other third-rate forces
After all, third-rate forces are too insignificant.
After Yang Qi pondered for a moment, he asked again, "In the past few thousand years, have a large number of practitioners disappeared at the same time?"
“Senior, although the overseas cultivation world is relatively safe, we often encounter attacks by sea beasts, and battles with sea beasts that affect the islands, so…” Xu Dongyang said bitterly.
After hearing Xu Dongyang's words, Yang Qi couldn't help but fall silent. Xu Dongyang's words undoubtedly told him that the disappearance of a large number of practitioners at the same time was a very common thing in the overseas practice world.
At this moment, he finally understood why Tang Qin chose to rush here as soon as possible after learning that the Corpse God Cult appeared in the overseas cultivation world, because this place is simply the Corpse God Cult's paradise!
There are countless islands, numerous spiritual forces, and possible appearance of sea beasts. Whether the Corpse God Cult is developing its own power or secretly setting up the No Corpse Blood Array, it will not attract much attention at all!
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Even if the overseas cultivation world is not the Corpse God Cult's headquarters, it is probably one of the Corpse God Cult's most important strongholds."
Tang Qin had obviously thought of this possibility when he sent the message, so he came here in person. After all, the Corpse God Cult seemed to have disappeared in Zichen Continent recently, and there was no trace of them. If he could find the important base of the Corpse God Cult from the overseas cultivation world, he might be able to figure out what the Corpse God Cult was planning.
"I have arrived at Qianxing Island. Contact me when you arrive and I will send someone to pick you up." At this moment, Yang Qi's message talisman suddenly moved. After checking, he found that it was a message from Tang Qin.
“So soon?”
After receiving Tang Qin's message, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly.
It has only been about half an incense stick of time since Tang Qin sent the message saying that she was going to Thousand Star Island. It is impossible for a cultivator at the Martial Honor Realm to reach Thousand Star Island from the Chu Palace in such a short time. Only a strong person at the Martial King Realm can do it!
"King Wu has taken action?" Yang Qi's expression was stern. (To be continued)
