A few days later, Xu Wen returned to the mine.
He didn't tell He Jiu and the others exactly what happened, but just told them that the matter had been resolved and they could continue to mine spiritual stones.
He Jiu and the others were inexplicably surprised, and only felt more in awe of Xu Wen in their hearts.
After this incident, the Lingshi Mine suddenly became much calmer, and the restless miners no longer dared to have other thoughts.
Returning to the city lord's mansion, Xu Wen immediately began to practice water escape in seclusion.
In this endless sea area surrounded by sea, there is no doubt about the role of water escape. It is far more useful than other escape methods and must be mastered immediately.
He has experience in practicing Earth Escape and Wood Escape, he has the treasure of heaven and earth like Yiyuan Shuijing, and he has the knowledge and experience of Master Jin Dan...
Seeing that the Five Elements Escape Technique became more and more difficult as time went by, he still mastered the Water Escape Technique a year later.
With the Water Escape Technique, the endless sea water is now a level ground for him. Not only near Jinghong Island, but also the deep sea thousands of miles away, he can start exploring.
There are infinite treasures in the sea, which are even better than those on land. As long as they can be exploited, even the ruthless people of Jindan will benefit greatly.
On this day, Xu Wen was exploring a sea area when he suddenly felt strong mana fluctuations in the sky, as if someone was fighting in the sky.
In all the years since he came to Jinghong Island, except for the initial battle, it has always been peaceful. This is the first time he has seen someone fighting on the sea.
Being so close to Jinghong Island is probably related to Jinghong Island.
With a thought, he suddenly escaped from the sea and flew over there.
A few miles later, a panicked cry for help rang in his ears:
"Island Master Xu, Senior Xu, help...help..."
Xu Wen had seen the other party clearly a long time ago. He originally wanted to observe him for a while, but when he saw that the other party noticed him, he stopped trying to hide it and flew up to meet him. He said in surprise:
"Master Jin, what happened? Who is this fellow Taoist?"
He knew the person asking for help, Jin Lan, the young island owner of the nearby island Dacheng Island.
Dacheng Island has a developed business, and ships often travel between the islands to sell spiritual items. I have been to Jinghong Island several times.
As the captain of the ship, Jin Lan had met Xu Wen several times.
Now he was covered in blood and beaten to a pulp by a man in black behind him.
Jin Lan has a cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building and is not considered weak in the nearby sea area. However, he has no ability to fight back in front of the man in black. He can only dodge desperately with a pair of wings that are glowing with strange light.
Seeing Xu Wen, he desperately looked for an opportunity to avoid the opponent's attack. He jumped up and hid next to Xu Wen, breathing heavily and saying:
"The demons who came from nowhere suddenly attacked our ship heading to Ghost Island. I came out to fight and no one noticed..."
Xu Wen suddenly felt secretly angry, and his eyes when he looked at the man in black suddenly had a murderous look.
The endless sea is vast and the islands are far apart. The main method of communication and trade relies on sea-going ships.
Although the opponent is attacking the merchant ships of Dacheng Island, if they are left alone and the trade route is blocked, it will also have a considerable impact on Jinghong Island.
"Who are you? Tell me your name. Why did you attack the merchant ship?"
After adding a rejuvenation spell to Jin Lan, Xu Wen shouted coldly at the man in black.
"Jiejiejiejie..."
The man in black didn't answer, but just let out a series of weird laughs, rolled his body, and suddenly turned into a black giant eagle, flying quickly into the distance.
"court death!"
Xu Wen felt angry in his heart, raised his hand suddenly, and the Gou Li mirror flew out. The colorful Gou Li light flashed across the sky like lightning, and hit the giant eagle in the middle.
With a scream, flesh and blood flew into the air, the giant eagle's body was broken in the middle, and it was torn into two pieces on the spot.
Although he beat Jin Lan to the point where he was unable to fight back, he was only building the foundation to perfection. How could he withstand the attack of a third-level treasure from the mirror.
Jin Lan, who was watching on the side, was horrified. This island owner of Jinghong Island was usually quiet and polite to others, but he didn't expect that he would be so cruel when he started to attack.
He was also aware of the situation and immediately flew over, preparing to catch the seriously injured and dying hawk demon.
Although Xu Wen's attack was ruthless, he avoided the opponent's vital points. He was obviously preparing to torture him.
But as soon as he picked up the opponent's body, he screamed in surprise. The giant eagle's power was reversed, and he exploded his meridians and died.
Xu Wen's blow had already destroyed the opponent's foundation. Maybe he didn't want to face torture, so he chose to kill himself.
Placing the body of the hawk demon in front of Xu Wen, he explained in shock and anger:
"We on Dacheng Island make a living on business and have good relations with all parties. It is the same regardless of the human-monster sea clan. We should...should not have offended such people!"
Xu Wen was also a little surprised by the harpy's cruel methods, shook his head and said:
"Let's go and see the ship!"
After that, he took Jin Lan and rushed towards the ship.
A hundred miles later, waves of mana fluctuations were heard, and from a distance, a ship on the sea was being besieged by an army of monsters.
Jin Lan's face changed drastically and she said harshly:
"We...we originally had three sea ships!"
The risks on the sea are unpredictable. Very few ships sail alone. Several ships form a fleet to support each other in case of trouble.
Only one of the original three sea-going ships was left at this time. Although there was a possibility of escaping, the odds were against them.
Every sea ship is worth a lot of money. Jin Dan immediately turned around, saluted Xu Wenshen and said:
"Senior, please take action to save this ship. All the goods on board will be sent to the island owner. Dacheng Island will also give generous gifts later."
Hearing this, Xu Wen couldn't help but take another look at Jin Lan.
This man is a sensible person. If Xu Wen fails to take action, the ship will definitely be unlucky and will either be robbed or sunk.
In any case, the goods above are no longer owned by Dacheng Island.
In this case, why not be generous and give it to Xu Wen who can save the ship.
This is the truth, but there are very few people who can do this.
There are at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones in the cargo on a sea ship, and there are a few foundation-building monks who can deliver them out without blinking an eye.
Of course Xu Wen would not do such a thing to take advantage of others, so he immediately shook his head and said:
"Young island master, you are very polite. Merchant ships are beneficial to both parties, so there is no need to talk about remuneration!"
After saying that, in a flash, he was already on the ship.
With a deep shout, his consciousness surged and swept across the entire place like a violent storm.
The highest level of cultivation that attacked the sea ship was only in the late stage of foundation building, and there were many monks in the late stage of Qi refining. Faced with the full pressure of Jindan Master, most of them immediately spit out blood, turned their eyes white, and dropped dumplings to the sea. .
The few foundation-building monks who could barely hold on were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
Xu Wen sneered and slowly raised his right palm.
Immediately there was a loud scream, and several wind blades with dazzling cold light suddenly flew out from his palm.
Flashing across tens of meters of sea surface, he caught up with the foundation-building monks and smashed through the protective shields of one after another like a broken bamboo, knocking them out and killing them one by one.
Only the person in the late stage of foundation building suddenly flashed a treasure light and actually blocked the wind blade.
He said nothing, tried his best to suppress the blood in his mouth, and ran away as fast as he could.
There was a flash of golden light, and a golden rope appeared beside him like lightning, wrapping him tightly.
In just a few breaths, all the attackers were killed or captured.
Golden elixir versus foundation building, except for a very few with special skills, is a one-sided massacre.
Seeing that the danger was over, the ship immediately opened the shield, and several people flew out to capture all the prisoners and torture them.
Soon, Jin Lan hurried to Xu Wen and whispered:
"Senior Xu, we found out that they are a new group of pirates. They found out about our trade routes on Dacheng Island from somewhere and came to rob us."
"Of those two ships, one was sunk by them and the other was robbed by them!"
Xu Wen couldn't help but frown slightly. Businessmen were actually not that afraid of bandits. Everyone wanted nothing more than money, so they could just share the profits appropriately with each other.
But they are very afraid of these unscrupulous bandits who act without taboos, without any rules, and are extremely ruthless.
After thinking for a while he asked:
"Who is that harpy?"
The style of the hawk demon is not like that of ordinary bandits. Xu Wen only asked this question.
"It's their fifth master. The leader of this group of bandits is the Golden Core cultivator. His subordinates are very strict. Maybe...!"
Jin Lan's answer surprised Xu Wen.
How noble is the Jindan Master? How unfathomable is it that Yu Zun lowers his status to engage in the business of robbing families and homes?
However, the world is full of wonders, maybe this is what this golden elixir bandit is like?
He shook his head and didn't think too much. This was Dacheng Island's business. There was no need for him to worry about it.
After discussing with his subordinates for a while, Jin Lan decided to go to Jinghong Island according to the original route, and then notify Dacheng Island to pick him up.
It is very close to Jinghong Island and about ten days' voyage from Dacheng Island.
There was only one sea ship left, and they no longer dared to return alone. There was no such worry when going to Jinghong Island.
With Xu Wen's protection, even if the Jindan pirate comes in person, he will die.
As soon as the sea-going ship entered the port, Jinghong Island immediately became lively. Hanging alone on the sea, the sea-going ship was the only opportunity for everyone to communicate with the outside world, so naturally they were very informative.
Jin Lan wanted to give the goods to Xu Wen, but Xu Wen naturally refused, so he decided to sell them all to shops on the island.
Even among the pirates, except for a few key figures who were brought back for interrogation, all the others had their cultivation levels abolished and were all sold to the residents of the island as slaves.
Even if cultivators lose their cultivation, their physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people, making them the best source of slaves.
If you are caught as a pirate, you are lucky not to be executed, and these people have no right to object.
After that, Jin Lan took the sailors to live on Jinghong Island. After all the talk, he couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.
He had been to Jinghong Island before. Under the pressure of the two island owners, Jinghong Island was lifeless. Except for spiritual stones and a few special spiritual objects, there was nothing left.
All the islanders were like zombies, with no signs of life at all.
It had only been a few years since Xu Wen became the owner of the island, but the appearance of the island had changed drastically. Although it was still much simpler than Dacheng Island, there was obvious vitality and vitality.
In particular, he was even more surprised by how the humans and demons on the island lived side by side and lived in peace.
The racial divide that exists on most islands seems to be completely absent on Jinghong Island.
It looks like I will have to go to Jinghong Island more times every year from now on!
Jin Lan couldn't help but think to herself.
