Ximen Yongxing restrained his cultivation, but his spiritual consciousness was far more powerful than that of the Yuanying monks. With an inadvertent perception, he discovered a trace of the aura of demon cultivators.
Although the aura passed by in a flash, and when he searched again, he found nothing, but he believed in his judgment that what he just sensed was the aura of the devil.
And this is enough to explain a problem, that is, among these monks on the boat, there are demonic cultivators.
No matter what the purpose of these demon cultivators is, whether they are colluding with the pirate monks or not, their existence itself is a threat to the many monks on the ship.
Ling Shanshan looked around subconsciously and found nothing unusual. She couldn't help but look at Ximen Yongxing curiously.
"Did fellow Taoist find any abnormalities? Can you tell me so that I can make targeted preparations."
Ling Shanshan asked.
"Don't worry, I haven't found out who this person is yet. The aura on his body is that of a demonic cultivator. He has mixed into this warship. His purpose is not clear, and I don't know how many people there will be."
Ximen Yongxing searched for him in the crowd, but didn't find him for a while.
There are countless treasures in the world of immortal cultivators. Demon cultivators are also human beings. How can outsiders see it as long as they cover their body's aura.
If you carefully check one by one, you can naturally discover the existence of demonic cultivators, but it is extremely offensive to randomly check other cultivators without evidence.
Ximen Yongxing believed that if this person's aura leaked once, it would leak a second time. As long as he sensed it carefully, he would definitely find it again.
"Fellow Taoist Yongxing, are you sure? Do you want me and the senior sisters to help search for him?"
Ling Shanshan said.
"No need. If you act at will, you will alert others. I can just keep an eye on you. Just pretend you don't know anything and just be vigilant."
After Ximen Yongxing finished speaking, he closed his eyes and carefully perceived everything around him. The sea breeze gently brushed his face, making him look so heroic.
Ling Shanshan, who was standing next to him, looked a little stunned. She wanted to reach out and touch his face, but she didn't move.
Ximen Yongxing just stood on the deck with his eyes closed, like a statue, not moving at all.
Ling Shanshan stood beside him, watching him quietly, waiting for something.
The speed of large warships is very fast, but the sea is too vast, so even the fastest speed will feel very slow.
A month later, Ximen Yongxing slowly opened his eyes and saw that Ling Shanshan still stayed where he was, not taking a step away.
"Fellow Taoist Shanshan, you have been with me for a month, thank you for your hard work."
Ximen Yongxing smiled dullly.
"Fellow Taoist Yongxing, have you found anything?"
Ling Shanshan smiled sweetly and asked.
"Five people have been discovered. They are all demon cultivators. If there are others, we need to continue to observe. You tell the Coral Sect fellows to be careful about these five people and not to alert others."
Ximen Yongxing said cautiously.
"Well, I'll tell senior sister and the others right now."
Ling Shanshan returned to the cabin and returned to the deck in less than a moment to continue accompanying Ximen Yongxing.
"Fellow Taoist Shanshan, you are very popular in the sect! If you are with a strange monk, your senior sister will not teach you a lesson."
"What are you afraid of? Fellow Taoist is not a bad person."
"Good people and bad people are not written on their faces. Fellow Taoist Shanshan is still too simple. I'm afraid she doesn't go out often."
"Fellow Taoist reminded me that I am in danger, so I can be sure that he is a good person. I believe you."
"Fellow Daoist Shanshan, I want to ask a personal question. Do you have any male cultivators in your Coral Sect who are as handsome as me?"
"Pfft...why do you ask this question?"
"You have been staring at me for more than a month. I have reason to suspect that there is no handsome male cultivator like me in your Coral Sect."
"Don't let my three senior brothers hear this."
"Just the three of them! Together they are not as handsome as me."
"Ha ha!"
The two were chatting and laughing on the deck.
At this time, most of the monks were staying in the cabin to practice, and only a dozen monks were on the deck observing the surrounding situation.
Most of these monks are members of the Wang family. They are responsible for piloting large warships and keeping vigilant at all times.
Wang Long, the Yuanying monk of the Wang family, personally stood on the bow of the ship to observe the front, firstly to determine whether the course was correct, and secondly to observe whether there was any danger.
The danger mainly comes from two aspects, one is the danger of nature, and the other is the pirate force active in the South China Sea.
“It’s been more than a month without a single storm. This time it’s been surprisingly smooth!”
Wang Long on the bow of the ship was in a good mood. It was a great blessing that he didn't encounter a storm.
If there is a storm, the warship will need to take a long way around, which will delay the journey and take more time to reach the Xisha Sea.
Delaying time will not only affect the Wang family's ability to earn spiritual stones, but will also bring more dangers.
On the vast sea, you may encounter pirates who rob you at any time. The longer you stay, the greater the chance of encountering powerful pirates.
If you circle the sea for two or three years, you will encounter several waves of robbers. The weak ones can be chased away, but it will be very dangerous if you encounter powerful pirates.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, if one goes so smoothly, will it be able to reach the Xisha Sea in three months?"
Ximen Yongxing walked over and asked.
Wang Long turned around, looked at Ximen Yongxing, nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist is right, as long as the journey goes smoothly, we will definitely be able to reach the Xisha Sea within three months."
"It's been a smooth journey. How many times have you encountered this situation, fellow Taoist?"
"Well, over the past two hundred years, I have walked more than fifty times. Only five times have the journey been smooth, accounting for only one tenth. In most cases, there will always be some accidents.
Sometimes it's blocked by storms, sometimes it's encountering pirates that require a battle, or being blocked by monsters in the sea. "
Wang Long talked about these past events with pride on his face.
At least, he has walked back and forth for more than fifty years, and it has always been relatively smooth. He has survived strong until now.
In the past, large warships organized by other forces had been destroyed by pirates. There was even a Nascent Soul Sect that declined because of this incident.
This was due to Wang Lung's prudence and wisdom. He never chose to go to sea when he was alone, and he also prepared enough back-ups on the warship.
When encountering a storm, I will avoid it in advance and choose to go around a little further to avoid being swept away by the storm.
The prepared backhand and the monks on the ship are enough to deal with pirate monks of an average size. As long as the opponent cannot win, they will usually give up.
"I hope this trip will go smoothly. I also hope to reach the Xisha waters soon."
Ximen Yongxing smiled and continued chatting with Wang Long, mainly asking about the route to the Xisha Sea, what kind of storms they would encounter, how to avoid the storms, etc.
At first, Wang Long was a little wary, thinking that Ximen Yongxing was trying to steal the Wang family's job. But after chatting for a while, he found that the other party was just curious, so he briefly explained some basic information.
As for the route map and the dangerous areas he would encounter on the road, he said that he had it all in his head and it was not convenient to tell others.
Ximen Yongxing did not force it. He was also observing and recording along the way. Although his eyes were closed, he knew the course and speed of the warship clearly.
As long as he walks like this, he will write down the route and give it to the family so that the family can build the ultra-long-distance teleportation array in place.
Of course, Ximen Yongxing had to be distracted by observing the movements in the cabin. The five demonic cultivators had unknown purposes, so he had to be vigilant to prevent them from causing trouble.
At this time, five demon cultivators hiding in a cabin released a sound insulation cover with an isolation formation outside.
They were very careful, for fear that their discussions would be overheard by others.
"Elder, it's been a month, and we'll be here in another month. We should prepare early. This time, we must succeed."
A third-level Nascent Soul demon cultivator, his eyes full of anger.
"Everything is stable. We are now in the heart of the enemy. We must hide ourselves. If there is no fighting outside, we must do nothing to avoid exposing our flaws."
The person called the elder is a ninth-level Nascent Soul demon cultivator. He is very powerful. He personally acts as an internal agent and is determined to destroy this warship.
He was originally a pirate in the Western Sea. More than a hundred years ago, when he robbed the Wang family's warship, not only did he fail, but his two brothers also died at the hands of the Wang family's monks.
Filled with hatred in his heart, he had long wanted to take revenge on the Wang family, but because he lacked the strength, he could only endure it.
Fifty years ago, a powerful demon cultivator found his lair and used coercion and inducement to get him to join the Sea Demon Cult.
With nowhere to go, he had to accept the other party's request and joined the Holy Demon Cult. Since then, his strength has grown rapidly, from the early stage of Yuanying to the late stage of Yuanying.
Over the years, he has never let go of his hatred, and has always been thinking about seeking revenge from the Wang family.
However, the Wang family is also a famous Yuanying family in the Golden Turtle Islands. There are more than twenty Yuanying clan members in the family. It is unrealistic to attack the Wang family.
As long as they show up and expose the methods of demon cultivators, Zhenhai Immortal Palace will immediately take action without the Wang family's request.
After much thought, he felt that it would be more appropriate to do it on the sea. Business in the Xisha waters is an important industry of the Wang family.
If he can destroy the Wang family's warship and kill all the monks on the warship, then for the Wang family, it will not just be as simple as losing several tribesmen and a warship.
This loss was a family's prestige, and it was a huge blow to the Wang family.
Moreover, he failed to rob the Wang family's warship on the vast sea.
Wherever he fell, he had to get up. If he could destroy the Wang family's warship at the same place, it would be the best way to relieve his hatred, and it would also be the best way to comfort his brother's spirit in heaven.
The closer he got to the place of action, the more excited he became, but also more cautious.
In order to hit the target with one blow, this time, he mobilized the Sea Demon Sect monks he could mobilize, including more than two hundred Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.
This power is stronger than the monks on the warship, but their warship is not as good as the Wang family's warship, which is one level lower.
Therefore, after much thinking, he decided to adopt a strategy of internal and external coordination. While the monks on the ship were busy dealing with enemy attacks, he destroyed the warship's defense from the inside, thus defeating the warship in one fell swoop.
He believed that the monks on the ship were definitely not of the same mind as the Wang family. Once the defense of the warship was broken, the monks from all walks of life would naturally go their separate ways, and no one would help the Wang family.
In order to avenge the death of the Wang family, he wanted to completely destroy the Wang family, starting with the Wang family warship.
He believed that the demonic way could definitely rule the mortal world. Once the demonic way defeated the righteous way, the Wang family's protective umbrella would be gone.
When the time comes, he will imprison all members of the Wang family in his cave, make them the lowest slaves forever, and torture them severely.
Of course, his fate was very bad. If he had not met Ximen Yongxing, his plan might have succeeded.
But at this moment, all his plans are just fantasy, Ximen Yongxing will not let him succeed.
If the Wang family warship is really destroyed, what should Ximen Yongxing do if he encounters a mirage on the way to find the Xisha waters?
The warship moved forward in an orderly and rapid manner. Wang Long always stood at the bow of the ship without resting for a moment. Ximen Yongxing accompanied him and chatted with him from time to time.
Ling Shanshan went back several times in the middle, but she would come over again soon, and she could also chime in to say a few words.
More than half a month later, a storm area appeared ahead, and Wang Long's expression became nervous.
He must make an immediate judgment on whether to continue moving forward or to go around, which direction is the safest to go around, and so on.
He has a clear understanding of the nearby sea conditions, which helps him make correct judgments.
"Go around to the left, which will take you half a month longer, but the storm is too dangerous, and the warship is unable to withstand it. If it is caught in it, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die."
Although there was still quite a distance from the storm area, Wang Long had to adjust the course of the warship.
"Fellow Taoist Ximen, this storm is moving and the speed is not slow. Once you encounter it, you must get away as soon as possible. The further away, the better.
But you can't just take a chance and go around it. In that case, once the storm turns, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die. "
Wang Long took the initiative to explain.
He was telling Ximen Yongxing why he had to go in a big circle instead of passing around the storm area.
Wang Long is very cautious, and it is precisely because of his caution that he has survived until now.
The route he took was such that even if the storm suddenly turned, it would not hit him in a short time, giving him enough time to adjust.
"Why did you change direction?"
At this time, the five demon cultivators who were discussing in the cabin suddenly became alert.
If the Wang family's warships cannot pass through the designated sea area, then their entire plan will be completely ruined.
"Elder, the warship encountered a storm and had to turn to avoid it. As long as it escapes the storm, it will still return to the original channel and will definitely be able to pass there."
A magic cultivator went out and saw the storm air column in the distance, and quickly came back to report.
"Hmph, it's been calm all the way, and then suddenly there's a storm, it's really annoying."
Taking off the mask of the Forbidden God on his face, the elder of the Sea Demon Sect revealed an ugly face full of scars. These scars were caused by the monks of the Wang family.
With his ability, it is not difficult to repair his face, but he just keeps these scars to remind himself of the humiliation he suffered.
"Elder, don't worry. Our plan will come true. We just need to wait a few more days to kill the Wang family monk and avenge our companions."
A demon cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul who was only in the middle stage of elixir formation at that time, several of his friends were also killed by the passengers on the Wang family's warship.
He couldn't find his enemy, so he put all his hatred on the Wang family's warship, thinking of destroying the Wang's warship and killing all the passengers on board.
