An Enemy Encountered on a Desolate Island (That's All for Today)
Sun and Moon Island, the General Headquarters Sun and Moon Palace.
In a Quiet Manor, Song Lianyue sat beside Zhang Qing stone table, while Wang Feng Song Lianyue to her.
"Has the Master Tianfeng had contact with cultivators from the Heaven Ghost Sect? Is this information reliable?"
Song Lianyue frowned and said.
Chu Buyu has not returned yet, Spirit-Severing Qi of the Spirit-Severing Sea has not dissipated. The Sun and Moon Palace's Intelligence Hall has dispatched a large number of people to search for Master Tianfeng, but they have not been able to find Master Tianfeng. However, they have discovered that Master Tianfeng has connections with cultivators from the Heaven Ghost Sect.
Chu Buyu was almost killed by the cultivators of the Three Immortals Sect before the Three Immortals Sect surrendered to the Heaven Ghost Sect.
Prior to this, a Dharma Protector of the Sun and Moon Palace was killed by the deputy sect leader of the Heaven Ghost Sect. The Sun and Moon Palace and the Heaven Ghost Sect were old enemies.
Master Tianfeng provided Chu Buyu with information about Fourth-Order Spirit Flame, after which Chu Buyu disappeared. In addition, Master Tianfeng had contact with cultivators from the Heaven Ghost Sect, so Song Lianyue immediately suspected that the Heaven Ghost Sect cultivators had plotted against Chu Buyu.
"That's right, but we can't be sure if this was done by the Heaven Ghost Sect. At present, Master Aunt Chu's Life Soul Lamp has not been extinguished, so she should be out of danger. She may be trapped in the Spirit-Severing Sea."
Wang Feng said.
"Activate our inside information within the Heaven Ghost Sect and investigate whether they were responsible for this. Secretly arrest some Core Formation Cultivator from the Heaven Ghost Sect. I need to know if Bu Yu's disappearance is related to the Heaven Ghost Sect."
Song Lianyue gave the order, her face filled with murderous intent.
She was grooming Chu Buyu as her successor, and if he were to be harmed by other forces, she would absolutely not let it go.
"Yes, Palace Master."
Wang Feng agreed and left to carry out the order.
······
The Spirit-Severing Sea, a certain azure sea.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood on a bamboo raft. Shen Long paddled, and the raft moved forward at a slow speed.
They have been at sea for more than three years, taking turns steering the bamboo raft. They have passed many Desolate Island, and at each Desolate Island they stop to rest for a while, collecting fresh water and food. They avoid taking Grain Avoidance Pill Grain Avoidance Pill possible.
Over the past three years, they have come to deeply understand the hardships of ordinary people. The waves are huge, and sometimes they have to stay at sea for more than half a year. They have run out of the food they collected from the island, but fortunately they have Grain Avoidance Pill.
"There's an island ahead, Fellow Daoist Shen, let's speed up."
Chu Buyu said, "Paddle."
Thanks to their efforts, the bamboo raft increased its speed considerably and moved towards an island ahead.
About half an hour later, they finally reached the shore.
"Finally, I can take a break."
Chu Buyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu dragged the bamboo raft away from the sea and sat down to rest.
"Hey, there are other people on the island!"
Shen Long let out a soft "hmm," his expression turning serious.
Chu Buyu followed Shen Long's gaze and saw a coconut tree that had been broken in half, showing signs of being cut down.
Shen Long strode up to the coconut tree and carefully examined the broken section. The break was smooth and had multiple cut marks.
"That's right, it was cut down by humans, not broken by heavy objects. There may be other cultivators on the island."
Shen Long analyzed.
"Are there other cultivators? This island is quite large! Where are they hiding?"
Chu Buyu frowned and said.
This made it more difficult for them to collect food.
"Bury the bamboo raft first, so they don't find it."
Shen Long suggested.
They buried the bamboo raft with sand and marked the area to make it easier to find.
Shen Long returned to the beach and cleaned up the footprints one by one.
"Fairy Chu, just to be on the safe side, we should act together. Hopefully, they're not on the island."
Shen Long said.
Chu Buyu nodded, and the two walked towards the bamboo forest not far away.
They moved slowly, their faces wary, constantly glancing around for any signs of human intervention.
Along the way, they found many trees with knife marks and some broken branches. Judging from the broken parts of the branches, they had been cut down recently. If they had been cut down a long time ago, the branches would have been withered and yellow long ago.
A loud roar rang out, startling Shen Long and Chu Buyu, who looked toward the source of the sound.
A bright yellow leopard charged towards them at high speed; upon closer inspection, an arrow was lodged in its belly.
The Yellow Leopard slowed down when it saw Shen Long and Chu Buyu.
"Oh, it's you, Young Friend Song."
Shen Long let out a soft "Eh."
Song He burst out of a bush and was somewhat surprised to see Shen Long and Chu Buyu.
"Senior Shen, what brings you here?"
Song He, puzzled.
The Yellow Leopard leaped up and pounced on Shen Long.
Shen Long swung his right fist and smashed it into the Yellow Leopard's head. The Yellow Leopard fell to the ground, lifeless, its head bleeding profusely.
Even without Law Power, the Yellow Leopard wouldn't survive if Shen Long punched it in a vital spot.
"We entered the Spirit-Severing Sea in search of treasure, but we unexpectedly got trapped here. Why are you the only one here? Where is everyone else?!"
Shen Long asked, puzzled.
"They've gone elsewhere to gather food and water. Oh, and Senior Shen, please lend us your help and rescue us from this misery."
Song He pleaded.
"Escape from suffering? What do you mean by that?"
Shen Long looked completely bewildered.
Song He recounted the events in detail. The five of them entered the Spirit-Severing Sea in search of treasure, only to be caught in an outbreak of Spirit-Severing Qi, which trapped them in the Spirit-Severing Sea for nearly twenty years. They had been living on a Desolate Island until one day a man arrived. This man was incredibly strong and carried a Spirit Treasure.
This person had also lost his Law Power, but possessed immense strength. Song He and the other five were no match for him and were forced to work for him.
They knew very well that once the Grain Avoidance Pill were finished, this person would definitely kill them.
What is this person's surname and given name?
Shen Long asked, feeling that the person Song He was talking about looked somewhat familiar.
"Huang Hao! He claims to be Nascent Soul Cultivator. He imprisoned my second sister by his side and sent the four of us to collect food and water. If we dared to run away, he would kill her. He also took our Grain Avoidance Pill. Without Grain Avoidance Pill, even if we build a bamboo raft and go out to sea, we won't get very far."
Song He smiled wryly.
"Didn't he ever think about going out to sea and leaving this Desolate Island?"
Chu Buyu pressed for an answer.
"He said there were ferocious beasts at sea that killed his companions, and he didn't want to go out to sea to take risks. He just told us to collect food and wait for the Spirit-Severing Qi to dissipate. The food we could collect was getting less and less. Every time we collected food, he would let us eat first, and he would only eat if we were fine."
Song He explained.
"There are ferocious beasts in the sea!"
Shen Long frowned. It seemed they were lucky; they hadn't encountered this ferocious beast.
"Young Friend Song, do you believe me or not?"
Shen Long asked.
"I believe you. Senior Shen, please tell me your plan. If we delay any longer, we'll starve to death even if he doesn't kill us."
Song He said.
"I have a kind of poison. If you take it, you will be paralyzed after an hour. Do you dare to take it?"
Shen Long asked.
Based on Song He's description, Huang Hao is the same Body Cultivator who injured Shen Long decades ago.
