At the door of the attic, Cheng Yang looked at the two maps in his hand and glanced at the island below from time to time. Until a moment later, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes and he said,
"It should be right here. Starting from this desert island area and flying due north for about two hundred miles is the destination we are looking for."
"This is just the location you calculated based on your past memories. It has exceeded the range marked on the incomplete map. Are you sure?" Wang Ying also glanced at another newly drawn drawing in the other party's hand and asked.
"Don't worry Ying'er, you will definitely not be wrong." Cheng Yang's eyes flashed with strong confidence and he said again,
"However, we need to wait here for a while until the people from Kamikaze Island arrive before we set off."
While speaking, he had already taken out the communication token in his hand and began to convey the information. After the operation was completed, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked again with some doubts,
"It's strange. Normally, the Corpse Jade Sect should have been monitoring my whereabouts. Why is there no movement along the way? Ying'er, your spiritual consciousness is powerful, have you discovered anything?"
"I checked several times but didn't sense it." Wang Ying shook her head slightly and subconsciously glanced at someone at the window. Just as he was about to ask something, the other party suddenly said,
"coming."
"Who... who's here?" Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"People from the Corpse Jade Sect?" Wang Yingming's eyes narrowed and she asked again. Sure enough, the latter nodded directly to confirm the answer.
"How could it happen so soon?" Cheng Yang finally came to his senses, but his expression instantly turned pale. Everything was fine for more than two months before, why did it suddenly appear now? What's more serious is that it will take a certain amount of time for the people from Kamikaze Island to come over, and they may not be able to make it in time. Then won't people like me suffer?
"The other party should have been following behind. Maybe it was too far away, or maybe it had the ability to block spiritual consciousness, so we couldn't detect it. Now we suddenly stopped and gave the other party a wrong signal, thinking that this is the site of the ruins. Naturally, I won't hide it anymore." Wang Ying analyzed with a solemn expression.
"Then what should we do? It will take at least a day for my father and the others to get here. It will be too late." Cheng Yang looked anxious and his mind was confused.
"How about we move on and get to the ruins first, maybe..."
"No!" Wang Ying immediately interrupted the other party and continued,
"Now is not the most dangerous moment. Even if the other party catches up, they will still have scruples if they can't find the true location and won't do it right. But once the other party knows the location, will they still hold on? I'm afraid they will immediately Killing people and silencing them."
"Then we can't stay here and wait. The Corpse Jade Sect's methods are the most vicious. If you fall into their hands, you may be worse than dead." At this time, Cheng Yang was obviously a little panicked, with fear in his eyes.
"Brother Jia, do you have any suggestions?" Wang Ying was also a little uneasy, but she could still remain calm. Mo Juren, on the other hand, looked as normal from beginning to end, as if he didn't pay attention to the coming danger at all. As for the title, naturally the two of them had already discussed it.
"Wait a minute, maybe the other party doesn't have any ill intentions." Mo Juren put down the tea bowl in his hand and said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked stunned, especially Cheng Yang, who was stunned and cursed in his heart. Could this guy be too scared and lose his mind?
"Brother Jia, now is not the time for joking." Wang Ying reminded softly, not sure what the other party was thinking.
"Jia never makes jokes." Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged and he waved to Fan Jingmei who was standing aside. The latter immediately responded and filled the cup of tea respectfully.
Unlike everyone else, she was inexplicably thinking of something at this moment. With the sharpest mind, she suddenly thought of some of the other party's previous small actions, and she always felt that there was something subtle in them.
Wang Ying fell silent immediately. She was faced with two choices at this time. One was to run, not to the direction of the ruins, but to fly randomly. Relying on the speed of the Ziyun Boat, it was theoretically possible to delay the whole day.
The second is to believe in Mo Juren and wait here with "peace of mind". However, how can she rest assured that no matter how strong the opponent is, he is still just one person, and the Corpse Jade Sect is obviously not.
"Ying'er, please make a decision quickly. We don't have much time." Cheng Yang obviously had little trust in this fellow Daoist Jia and urged him eagerly.
"How confident is Brother Jia?" Wang Ying asked again.
"It depends on how much trust you have in Jia, Miss Wang." Mo Juren's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly asked with a smile. Although the two sides are considered friends, they are far from being in a relationship with each other. He was a little curious at this time, what would the other party choose? If you really don't believe him, then the subsequent exploration of the ruins will require another consideration.
Faced with such an answer, Wang Ying was once again in a dilemma. How could she not hear it despite being so smart? The other party was obviously taking the opportunity to test her attitude.
Now she can no longer make a choice. If she doesn't trust the other party, then all the previous efforts on the other party will be in vain, and the subsequent exploration of the ruins will definitely not get the other party's sincere help.
In that case, what's the point? It's better to just go home and don't expect any ruins. The two elders of the sect did not come, and with just three of her own members, there was no hope of gaining anything even if they participated.
After weighing it for a while, she decided directly: "Then let's wait."
"Ying'er, you're crazy. You actually believe this guy's crazy words!" After hearing such a choice, Cheng Yang couldn't help but stood up and asked in disbelief. When he thought of how scary those guys from the Corpse Jade Sect were, he no longer cared about being polite.
The two envoys on the left and right also looked surprised. It was really risky for the sect leader to make such a decision. The Corpse Jade Sect is a genuine demonic force, and their behavior is extremely vicious. If you fall into their hands, you will have to pay a heavy price even if you don't die.
The two women are also very sensitive people, and they can also hear the temptation of Mo Juren before. Therefore, even if there were objections in his heart, he did not raise any objections. I just secretly complained in my heart that this person named Mo is really hard-hearted. If he still embarrasses the sect leader at this time, doesn't he know how to show mercy at all?
Mo Juren slowly turned the teacup in his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes. He didn't expect that the other party would really choose this. After all, relying on the speed of Ziyun Zhou was the safest way to go around in circles. It only took one day and it passed quickly.
But the other party chose this way, which was really beyond his expectation. No matter the reason, this trust is still precious.
Mo Juren said nothing more and continued to quietly sip tea and wait. As for Cheng Yang's offense, he didn't bother to respond. He had figured out this guy's character. He had no memory at all. Small punishments and warnings had no effect. As long as his brain got hot, he would forget everything. There's no rush, you can save it first, and when you get impatient, just slap it to death.
Now, he is more generous and doesn't care about 'children'.
Cheng Yang still had some scruples, especially when he calmed down, thinking that this person was a monk in the middle stage of pill formation, he suddenly felt sad.
However, he was indeed a little restless at this time. The people of the Corpse Jade Sect were really cruel and cruel. How could he not be afraid?
He couldn't help but continued to persuade the other party. Unfortunately, Wang Ying remained unmoved, as if he had eaten a weight, and completely believed the man named Jia.
At this time, he felt that the other party was also crazy. Like the person named Jia, he was also suffering from heart failure. He was not a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage. How could he defeat ten people with one person? Isn't it a joke to entrust one's life to the hands of a mid-stage pill-forming monk?
He suddenly had the idea of leaving, but if he did that, both parties would be completely ruined. How could a man who couldn't advance and retreat together win a beautiful woman?
Of course, the more important thing is that he only has a flying magic weapon, and his speed is not very fast. He cannot run away at all. As long as a group of people are separated, he can catch up quickly.
After weighing the pros and cons, it would be safer to stay, as it would at least win the favor of my sweetheart. As for the danger, we can only pray that the man named Jia is not really crazy.
The room suddenly fell into an eerie calm. Everyone stopped talking and waited anxiously for the arrival of 'fate'. Only Mo Juren's expression remained the same, as if nothing had happened.
No matter what, this calmness has played a certain role, and everyone has a little expectation in their hearts.
This silence did not last long. About a moment later, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared at the end of the line of sight. It moved very fast and stayed over the islands in the blink of an eye.
Everyone turned to look, and what they saw was a huge dark green boat with a length of sixty or seventy feet. There was a three-story attic built at the stern of the boat. The exterior was obscured by a layer of black mist, making it difficult to see what was inside.
On the wide deck in front, there are more than ten figures standing scattered at this time. The three people in front are all monks in the Dan Formation stage. The leader is in the middle stage of Dan Formation. Although the rest are only in the foundation building stage, most of them are in the middle and late stages. .
These forces alone are already greater than our own, and there are still not many people hiding in the attic shrouded in black mist at the rear. Even the leader of the Corpse Jade Sect may be there.
"Weird!" On the deck of the giant boat, the leader of the monks in the alchemy stage let go of his spiritual consciousness to explore for a while, then suddenly frowned and said,
"Nothing was found. This shouldn't be the location of the ruins. Have we been tricked by that kid?"
"As long as one of the keys to the ruins is with the other party, there will be no problem." Another person beside him sneered and analyzed, turned to look to the other side, and asked again,
"Junior brother Lin was responsible for monitoring before. Did anything abnormal happen in the meantime?"
"There's nothing else, I'm just entangled with those women from the Miaoyin Sect." Junior Brother Lin shook his head slightly and said,
"Besides, the key has been tampered with in advance by the sect master. It can be sensed at any time, so there is no possibility of anything going wrong."
"That's true." The leader nodded and sneered again,
"We don't need to make any guesses here. Junior Brother Lin might as well go there in person and 'invite' that boy to come over and ask."
"That's fine, Lin will come back as soon as he goes." The man surnamed Lin did not hesitate, and immediately turned into a black light and flew through the air, and in a blink of an eye, he flew towards the Ziyun boat hovering in front of him.
"The matter involves the Miaoyin Sect, what do you think, Senior Brother Zhou?" Ignoring the man named Lin who left, the remaining two people suddenly started talking.
"It's hard to handle." The leader named Zhou shook his head slightly and continued,
"The situation of the Miaoyin Sect is too special, and it is involved with many forces. Even some concubines of the elders of some major demon sects may come from this sect.
Of course, for the strong, women are just playthings, and they will not be given too much protection because of this. But it depends on the situation, at least not for forces like our Corpse Jade Sect. For those strong people, as long as they have an excuse, it is not a troublesome thing to take action against us. None of these people are kind. When that time comes, there is no way to give up feeding them without paying a certain price. "
"What senior brother said is absolutely true. These women are indeed troublesome. I heard that the master of Kamikaze Island went to the Miaoyin Sect to question and threaten him in person because of his son's matter, but he did not take action in the end. I guess he has such scruples, right?"
"Cheng Songting was a heroic man, but he gave birth to such an incompetent son. It's really disappointing." The man surnamed Zhou laughed and suddenly said,
"By the way, how long will it take for the people from Kamikaze Island to arrive?"
"It will take at least a day for the people monitoring over there to send back the information."
"One day is enough." The man named Zhou nodded, but his expression suddenly changed,
"No, how come Junior Brother Lin has been gone for so long?"
"This..." The other person was also stunned and reacted instantly. With Junior Brother Lin's strength, he was just 'inviting' someone, so he shouldn't be so lazy, right? They knew the situation of Ziyunzhou very well. They were just two monks in the Danjie stage. Facing such a huge force, they didn't dare to resist even if they thought about it.
I didn't hear any sounds of fighting, but it couldn't be that there wasn't even the slightest movement, right?
The two of them looked at each other, and the man named Zhou, who was the leader, let go of his spiritual sense to investigate. However, what he saw made him stunned. At this time, Junior Brother Lin was sitting quietly on the floor without moving.
what happened? Have you been tricked? But it shouldn't be. The burly man in the middle stage of pill formation has been drinking tea by the window and has not done anything. As for the master of Miaoyin Sect, he is also in the early stage of pill formation, but his strength is weaker than that of Junior Brother Lin.
Both of them obviously discovered this situation and were a little confused.
The man surnamed Zhou thought for a while and asked directly via voice message. Strangely, he didn't get any response.
"I'm going to take a look. If there's any problem, be sure not to be rash and go to the back to report first..." The man surnamed Zhou gave a few instructions, then turned into a gray light and flew forward, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at Ziyunzhou's above deck.
He let go of his consciousness and scanned the attic again, but found nothing unusual, and then walked in without hesitation.
The moment he entered the room, the scene in front of him shocked him even more. His junior brother Lin was sitting cross-legged, motionless, but an earth-yellow rope magic weapon was wrapped around his neck, and he fell into a slumber.
