Acceleration, Part 2 (Thanks to Alliance Leader You Shan Chang Shui)

Zhang Rongfang stood in the study, silent for a while, before gently opening the window.

After a moment of silence, he took out a mask from his pocket and put it on.

Whoosh! A gentle breeze swept by, and the person had vanished from the spot.

He crossed the high walls of the Aloeswood Palace, went down the mountain, and arrived at the foot of Chen Xiang Mountain.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the moonlight slanted.

Zhang Yunqi was already waiting in a Woodland at the foot of the mountain.

"Young master, I apologize for asking you to come out so late," Zhang Yunqi said in a deep voice.

His injuries haven't fully healed yet, which is the recovery speed of an average person.

It's far inferior to the Spirit Vein.

"What is it?" Zhang Rongfang knew that the other party would not be in such a hurry to signal him with the mirror light to invite him out unless it was something particularly important.

"The other two Secret Cache have been discovered. The guards near the Secret Cache have been wiped out, and the attackers are the Western Sect's Golden Wing Tower." Zhang Yunqi said with a solemn expression.

He knew very well that if the Secret Cache were exposed, the situation of the Human Seed would be extremely bad.

"What about the other two Human Seed?" Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.

"I don't know, but I'm afraid it's not good," Zhang Yunqi replied.

Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment. "The Golden Wing Tower in Citong has been wiped out, and only Kong Ding of Sea Gazing Temple remains in the Western Sect Kong Ding. They can't cause any trouble."

"If that's all, then it's fine. But we just received news that the Western Sect True Buddha Temple has dispatched experts to investigate a list of people. That list likely includes names of Human Seed, including yours," Zhang Yunqi replied.

"Moreover," he paused, "Among the experts who came this time, besides the two Three Voids experts, Copper Arm and Mad Demon, there is also this madman Jin Yuan."

"Jin Yuan. Is it the Zen Master Kong Jing of Jin Yuan with One Staff to Emptiness?" Zhang Rongfang also became serious.

"Exactly." Zhang Yunqi nodded.

Before joining True Buddha Temple, Golden Source Zen Master was a renowned master of the Crimson List.

His men were ruthless killers, with at least a thousand lives lost.

Legend has it that this person possessed Hard Skill, so much so that even a musket could not penetrate him, and a crossbow bolt could only pierce a short distance, making him truly terrifying.

"Fifteen years ago, Jin Yuan was able to fight against the then Grandmaster of the Eastern Sect, injuring three people in a row. He was defeated by the Imperial Tutor and fled. After that, he disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he joined the True Buddha Temple."

"No. Perhaps this person is originally from the Western Sect." Zhang Yunqi changed the subject, as if he had realized something.

"The Western Sect is truly remarkable. Kong Ding and Jin Yuan, a mere Sea Gazing Temple has gathered two grandmasters. What merit do I possess?" Zhang Rongfang sighed.

"Young Master, why don't we lay low for now, leave Citong, and return to the Heavenly Treasure Palace? Once we're inside the Heavenly Treasure Palace, Jin Yuan will Kong Ding not dare to act so recklessly again," Zhang Yunqi said with concern.

In his view, although the young master was strong, he was far from being a grandmaster. Moreover, the grandmasters of the Western Sect were most likely to be Spirit Vein.

Their strength has reached a new level.

"Lay low for now?" Zhang Rongfang shook his head. "It's easy to not have time to leave, but it would cause far too much trouble."

"But what if it gets found out?" Zhang Yunqi was getting anxious.

"It's alright, we'll find a way." Zhang Rongfang raised his hand.

The Western Sect is indeed a behemoth, but it is not insurmountable.

Moreover, even if we were to leave, we would have to get the Main Herb of the Golden Toad Skill Sun Chasing- Chasing Skill before we left! "Can you find out when Jin Yuan will arrive?" he asked.

"If they travel by land, it will take at most half a month; if they travel by sea and transfer to a port, it will take at most ten days," Zhang Yunqi said. "Also, we can't rule out the possibility that they will travel on foot. If they do, it will probably be even faster."

"In that case, it seems we have no choice but to speed things up." Zhang Rongfang had originally planned to send people to search those small islands first, but now it seems he must act quickly.

Before revealing your abilities, you must upgrade the Golden Toad Skill by one level. This will allow you to accumulate attributes much faster.

*** Snow Kui Island.

The moonlight was hazy.

In a woodshed inside the Blue God Residence.

A pale-skinned, emaciated little boy carefully slipped half a steamed bun and a small piece of dried meat into the gap between the firewood in the woodshed.

"Here, eat up," he whispered, while nervously glancing back.

It seemed very afraid of being discovered by someone getting close.

"Thank you." Deep inside the woodpile, a thin woman covered in blood was curled up, clutching a tightly wrapped black box in her hands.

"Be careful not to get caught, or I'll get two more biscuits tonight," the little boy whispered.

"Yes, thank you! Don't worry about saving my life. Once I recover from my injuries, I will definitely rescue you all when I return to Great Ling!" The woman's name was Cheng Luo, and she was a member of the Treasure Hunting Team sent out by the Aloeswood Palace to purchase Yu Xiang Coral Treasure Medicine.

They had found the Treasure Medicine without much trouble, and the group was so excited about the huge reward and promotion that they relaxed their guard a little.

As a result, their ship was plundered on their way back to Great Ling.

The acquisition of Treasure Medicine revealed the vast wealth they were carrying.

This attracted a group of pirates known as the Blood God Pirates, who, disregarding their origins and backgrounds, immediately began to hunt them down and plunder them.

In the chaos of battle, Cheng Luo, seeing that he was no match for the enemy, desperately jumped into the sea to escape, clutching the Treasure Medicine he had found, trying to find a way to survive.

But unexpectedly, they were washed ashore on Snow Kui Island in the end.

And this Snow Kui Island was actually the place where that gang of Blood God Pirates lived.

She was secretly rescued by a little boy named Zhou Xinlan and then hidden in this woodshed.

The boy had to do a lot of chores every day. At the age of eleven or twelve, he was required to cook, wash clothes, chop firewood, and raise sheep.

They eat and drink like livestock every day, only occasionally getting lucky and being rewarded with some good food by the Blood God Pirates in a good mood.

"Xiao Lan, can you help me contact a fleet outside?" Cheng Luo knew that if he continued like this, he would surely die.

But as long as we can get in touch with the Great Ling Citong, we will definitely find a chance to be rescued.

So much time has passed, and their Treasure Hunting Team still hasn't returned. Daozi must have already started sending people out to search.

Cheng Luo knew very well that the Yu Xiang Coral in her arms was extremely important to Daozi.

So, she always held it tightly in her arms.

"I can't get out." Zhou Xinlan shook his head. "There are guards outside."

"What if we go out to throw away the trash?" Cheng Luo asked softly.

"That won't work either." Zhou Xinlan head. "There are people specifically for taking out the trash; I can only move around in this Inner Courtyard."

"How many Blood God Pirates are there?" Cheng Luo gritted his teeth, a hint of despair creeping into his heart.

"Yes, many, but they usually go hunting once a week and then come back to rest for a few days," Zhou Xinlan replied.

"Then let's wait for them to leave, Xiao Lan, listen to me." Cheng Luo emphasized earnestly, "Trust me, as long as I can contact the outside world, I will definitely be able to get you out of here. There's a very powerful figure out there, waiting for you to bring the things back. He won't give up. As soon as he finds out you haven't returned, that powerful figure will definitely send people to look for you."

"A big shot??" Zhou Xinlan's eyes showed a hint of anticipation. "But the Blood God Pirates are very, very powerful. They eat people. Powerful people have come before, trying to kill us, but they were all killed in the end."

"They... can eat people?!" Cheng Luo was stunned.

She immediately realized what was going on. "It's alright, trust me! My sister has a treasure that important people outside need. As long as you can contact the fleet outside and send this note out."

She carefully handed the note to Zhou Xinlan, who then took it.

"As soon as someone sends word back, the big shot will definitely wipe out all the bad guys here!" she said fiercely.

"Really?" Zhou Xinlan looked at the note in her hand, not quite believing it.

"Really! Believe me!" Cheng Luo nodded earnestly.

"Shit! Shit! Get out here! You haven't finished your work for today!" Impatient curses suddenly came from outside.

Zhou Xinlan immediately stood up and ran quickly out of the woodshed.

"Coming, coming, I'm coming!" he shouted, running out the door.

I jogged past the Blood God Hall.

Zhou Xinlan unconsciously smelled a bloody odor, and he turned his head to look.

A corpse, half-fleshed and half-dead, was impaled on a sharp wooden stake.

The twelve Blood God Pirates all had their faces painted with colorful greasepaint, making them look like fierce ghosts.

They laughed and joked around.

Seated at the far end of the lobby was a strong figure with colorful demons painted on his upper body.

That man was the leader of the Blood God Pirates, who called himself Blood Sea and worshipped the Blood God. Every time Zhou Xinlan saw him, he was always sitting upright on the black metal throne, completely still.

Ah!!

Just then, Zhou Xinlan suddenly heard a sharp scream.

He shuddered, abruptly stopped, and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Upon hearing that sound, he immediately turned and ran towards the woodshed.

He hadn't run far when he saw Cheng Luo, the older sister who had promised to take him away from here, being held down by two Ghost Mask Man.

The Ghost Mask Man is both a servant and a soldier of the Blood God Pirates.

Most of them are mentally unstable; almost none of them are normal.

At this moment, one of the two Ghost Mask Man held Cheng Luo down and was cutting her neck with a knife.

The other person laughed loudly and kept hitting Cheng Luo on the back of the head with stones.

Zhou Xinlan seen them do this before. After smashing the skull and removing the fragments, they would use a knife to make an incision.

He had seen it many times before, but never felt anything about it.

But this time, he looked at Cheng Luo staring intently at him, her eyes filled with pleading.

He suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

He saw Cheng Luo's lips moving.

She was saying, 'The woodshed.'

Hatred, pain, and despair intertwined in her eyes.

Zhou Xinlan understood what he meant.

'That Treasure Medicine is still in the woodshed.'

"Kid! Are you watching from the sidelines because you want to eat too?" A Ghost Mask Man chuckled and said to Zhou Xinlan.

Zhou Xinlan his head blankly, took two steps back, and ran away.

But as he left, that scene kept replaying in his mind.

The most famous scene is when the older sister pleaded with him before she died.

He knew she hated him and wanted revenge.
