Chapter 424 Red Island Warriors
Chapter 424 Red Island Warriors
"Third Uncle, you saw it just now, right? It was a huge bluebird, what was that?"
The girl looked at the old man beside her.
The latter shook his head: "Please forgive me, Miss, I have never witnessed such a wonder. I wonder if Young Master Xu has ever heard of it?"
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man smiled confidently: "I have heard of it. I observed that the blue bird was not a physical entity. I have heard that some of the most outstanding talents of major sects can cause strange phenomena when they break through. I think this should be one of these phenomena."
"So someone has made a breakthrough here."
The girl's expression clearly showed disappointment.
Young Master Xu comforted her, "Sister Yan'er, don't worry. What I said was just a guess. Uncle is very strong and has powerful skills, so it's possible that he sent the signal."
"Young Master Xu, please don't try to comfort me. I know that my father could not possibly cause such a phenomenon."
Her third uncle patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Miss. The head of the family is a man of great stature. So what if the Kuanglan Society issues a kill order? He will be fine."
"Um……"
Seeing this, Young Master Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at the reef: "It's a pity we arrived too late and didn't get to see this genius who caused the strange phenomenon. It would be a wonderful thing to be able to get to know him."
"You also came after seeing the strange phenomenon?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The group's expressions changed instantly, and they quickly looked into the distance.
Ye Kang was seen walking slowly towards them, standing on the back of a swordfish.
Ye Kang was about to leave when he suddenly heard the old man mention the name of the Kuanglan Society, which piqued his curiosity.
Regardless of the circumstances, Kuanglan Society was his enemy, and he really wanted to know who had hired the assassins back in Dajin.
Zhang Zuisheng had given himself half a month to return to his clan, so he might as well take this opportunity to try his luck and conduct a secret investigation.
Of course, there's no need to reveal the identity of the Tyrant Whale Sect; being too flamboyant would scare away the assassins.
Seeing him approaching on a swordfish, the burly man in the vest immediately raised his hand: "Sir, stop! We are from Red Island. May I ask who you are?"
Ye Kang did not conceal his aura. As soon as he revealed his Nine Leaves cultivation, the burly man in the vest became somewhat solemn.
"My name is Liu Ci, a carefree cultivator from the world. I happened to pass by and have the pleasure of meeting you all."
"A rogue cultivator? Have you joined the Rogue Cultivator Alliance?"
"I haven't joined. Not all rogue cultivators have to join the Rogue Cultivator Alliance."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, revealing his goodwill.
The burly man in the vest wanted to ask more questions, but Young Master Xu raised his hand to stop him.
"Since we have met by chance, how can I be rude? Please forgive me, Brother Liu. My servant is kind-hearted, but he is a bit too cautious. My name is Xu Xun. Greetings, Brother Liu!"
"So it's Young Master Xu. You're very kind. Since you arrived before me, have you seen the person who caused the strange phenomenon?"
Ye Kang wore a curious expression, showing no sign that he was making up a lie.
This superb performance was thanks to Tang Yi; that guy always had this expression when he heard about the adventure opportunity.
"You came here after seeing that blue-green bird too?"
"Of course, traveling on the vast ocean is quite boring. Seeing such a strange phenomenon, I couldn't resist my curiosity and wanted to come and take a look. It's just that I'm far away, which is why I'm a little late."
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Liu to have the same idea as me. It's just a pity that we are too late. It seems that the person left after breaking through."
"That's such a pity. It's a great regret that we can't befriend such a talented person."
Ye Kang sighed deeply, his brows furrowed with regret.
At this moment, the young woman spoke up: "Senior, do you often travel in this area?"
Ye Kang laughed heartily: "What senior? You're making me sound old. Just call me brother, or just call me by my name. Traveling is my lifelong passion, but this is my first time here."
"Have you ever seen a grandmaster wielding a giant axe, with a resolute face?" the girl asked expectantly.
Ye Kang shook his head regretfully: "I have never seen one before. This sea area is too desolate. I haven't seen a single living person since I came in. You are from Red Island, the one in the northeast!"
Ye Kang remembers that there were markings on the nautical chart.
At the northeastern entrance to the sea, there is a small island where ships from Tyrant Whale City dock.
Sure enough, although the girl was disappointed, she nodded politely: "That's right, you've heard of it too?"
"To be honest, I traveled from the west and ran out of wine. I was just thinking of going to Red Island to replenish my supply."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xun waved his hand and said, "What's so difficult about that? Brother Liu, board the ship, and we might as well go back together. There's plenty of good wine on board, and we can drink together."
"Young master, you mustn't! This person's identity is unknown, how can you invite him rashly..." The guard was a little impatient and quickly tried to stop him by sending a telepathic message.
But Xu Xun waved his hand, not caring.
He's just a rogue cultivator with nine leaves; he has plenty of treasures and isn't afraid of him causing trouble.
Then, he looked at Ye Kang and asked, "What do you think, Brother Liu?"
Ye Kang had been waiting for these words, so how could he refuse? He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said, "That's wonderful! Brother Xu is truly a generous man. I, Liu Ci, will be your friend! Hahaha!"
He let out a hearty laugh, looking quite carefree, and then squatted down to stroke the swordfish at his feet.
“Friend, now that we have a boat, we no longer need you to help us. We are grateful for your help along the way. We hope to meet again someday.”
Swordfish said, "Keep pretending, I'll pretend I didn't hear you."
Ye Kang leaped onto the boat and bowed to each of them.
"Brother Liu, please."
With a graceful gesture, Xu Xun pointed to a wooden table, a set of wine utensils, and three jars of strong liquor on the deck.
The wines drunk by martial artists in the Lotus Realm are all spiritual wines, which can enhance their strength if consumed regularly and are therefore extremely precious.
As soon as the wine jar is opened, a rich aroma of wine immediately wafts out.
He wasn't exaggerating when he said that; this really is good wine.
Ye Kang didn't stand on ceremony, sat down and drank, displaying the demeanor of a true chivalrous hero.
Seeing this, Xu Xun smiled slightly and transmitted his voice to the guard: "See? He's just an ignorant rogue cultivator. What's there to be afraid of? You should befriend people like him. Invite him for a few drinks, and he'll be willing to risk his life for you."
The guard lowered his head and remained silent, but his brow remained furrowed.
The small boat started and headed back to Hongdao Island.
The young girl and the old man were also invited by Xu Xun to sit down and drink.
During this time, Ye Kang learned the girl's name.
Her name was Chu Yan'er, and the old man was her loyal servant, Chu San.
Ye Kang didn't ask them anything about the Kuanglan Society; instead, he just kept drinking, acting like a carefree and unrestrained drunkard.
Asking questions at this point would only seem odd.
Since the ship is going to Hongdao Island anyway, it's not too late to explore it after we get there.
After a few rounds of drinks, Xu Xun suddenly asked, "Brother Liu, we hit it off immediately. Why don't you tell me about the strange and wonderful things you've encountered on your travels?"
Ye Kang laughed heartily on the surface, but in his heart he was already calling for reinforcements.
"Green Face! You're so skilled at illusions, you must be a great storyteller. Tell me a few!"
