Fang Shu accepted Bright Moon True Immortal's kindness on the spot.

However, after agreeing, he changed the subject and said, "Elder, you are joking. Since fellow Daoists in the manor are willing to go to sea with me, how could I sit idly by and watch them fall into danger?"

Also, three people are too many; one person is enough.

These words made Bright Moon True Immortal raise an eyebrow, a thoughtful expression on his face, assuming that Fang Shu was unaware of the situation of the Tie and Chang families.

So the man immediately whispered in Fang Shu's ear, explaining some things that had happened over the past few years.

As the man revealed the information, Fang Shu's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He thought to himself, "Good heavens, I originally thought it was the Ming and Yu families who had defected, intending to ambush me. I never expected it to be the Iron Clan patriarch and the Chang Family patriarch—"

Although he knew this, his doubts only grew stronger.

As far as he knew, although he had grudges and entanglements with the Tie and Chang families, they were not as difficult to resolve as those with White Dust.

Given this situation alone, it's truly illogical that these two families would plot against him, and now that they know his identity Profound Teaching True Disciple, they even harbor murderous intent.

Immediately, Fang Shu's thoughts drifted to the Ming and Yu families, who had already defected to the Vast Sea.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that the Tie and Chang families, like the Ming and Yu families, are also inherently rebellious, and perhaps even secretly colluding, which is why they are united against a common enemy?"

Fang Shu couldn't help but glance at the Bright Moon True Immortal in front of him a few times.

If that's truly the case, then the scene in this Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture is indeed quite intriguing.

Bright Moon True Immortal was being sized up by Fang Shu, he smiled and said directly, "True Disciple Fang, rest assured, what happened today is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me, and will not be known to anyone else."

You can go out to sea with complete peace of mind.

However, upon hearing this, Fang Shu immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder. Please allow White Dust to see me off alone."

And there's no need for the Grand Elder to resort to any other methods, lest we alert the enemy too much."

These words left Bright Moon True Immortal speechless, unable to utter the rest of his thoughts.

He originally wanted to have a proper discussion with Fang Shu about how to get White Dust onto the ship so that Fang Shu could deal with this scoundrel.

As it turned out, Fang Shu didn't need any help at all.

Bright Moon True Immortal hesitated for a moment, but ultimately bowed to Fang Shu and said, "Very well, we will do as you say, fellow Daoist."

The two then exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Having exhausted all other topics of conversation, Fang Shu rolled up the eleven-fold treasure ship, paid his respects to the man, and swiftly withdrew from the main hall of the Vast Sea.

With a clang, the door to the secret room slammed shut.

Bright Moon True Immortal stood indoors, watching Fang Shu disappear. Then, facing the depths of the hall, he spoke something.

Suddenly, a series of splattering sounds like mosquitoes bursting all over his body made him freeze, his face showing slight surprise.

At the same time.

Fang Shu, who was standing outside the hall, shook his head knowingly.

This situation occurred because he released his own Core Qi, transforming it into Gu worms, which he then secretly placed in the secret chamber and around Bright Moon True Immortal.

Unfortunately, such methods were easily wiped out by the other party.

It might even make the other party laugh at us.

Undeterred by the unsuccessful attempt, Fang Shu simply thought to himself, "Oh well, I'll deal with whatever comes my way."

He suppressed the various thoughts in his mind and immediately returned to the residence of the Azure Lion Immortal.

Upon returning to his residence, he invited the Azure Lion Immortal to help him refine the Golden Core Treasure Ship, lest it contain any hidden tricks that he could not see.

Meanwhile, when the Azure Lion Immortal saw that he had indeed brought a Golden Core Treasure Ship from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture, his astonishment was beyond words.

Next.

Fang Shu almost never leaves his house.

The news that he did not wish to stay long and was about to embark on a long voyage at sea also spread throughout the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture.

More True Immortal tried to come to him, wanting to see him off and become acquainted with him.

Faced with such enthusiasm, Fang Shu politely declined each offer.

He wouldn't be so arrogant as to reveal his family's specific departure dates to this group.

At the same time, he was also wondering how Bright Moon True Immortal would send White Dust True Immortal onto his treasure ship.

Time passed quickly.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Shu has taken care of all the miscellaneous matters in this period of time and is ready to set sail at any time.

This day.

He walked out of the pass, and all the other idlers on the island had been dismissed, leaving only the Azure Lion Immortal lingering outside his quiet room.

Just like when Fang Shu on his last long journey, the Azure Lion Immortal was fishing in the pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Fang Shu looked over and stared at it for a long time.

Suddenly, the old man muttered to himself, "This time when I leave, I don't have anything to give you as a gift."

Hearing this, Fang Shu couldn't help but chuckle, "You old geezer, are you afraid I'll rip you off too?"

After a few lighthearted banter, Fang Shu said nothing more, simply cupping his hands in a respectful greeting and saying, "Senior Uncle, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Lion Immortal finally put down his fishing rod and turned to look.

The man looked thoughtful. "Are you really not willing to let me escort you?"

Fang Shu had argued with the other party about this matter many times before.

The Azure Lion Immortal even intended to send him to Sea Market in the sea before returning.

However, Fang Shu politely declined all such suggestions.

When the matter was brought up again today, Fang Shu didn't say anything more, he just smiled.

The next moment, lightning crackled around him, enveloping him and sending him out of the mansion.

Watching Fang Shu leave, the Azure Lion Immortal sat alone by the pond, a sudden emptiness settling over him.

After a long while, the man withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself, "You Yellow Pelt, you were clearly the disciple you took in, so how did it become that I'm the one raising you?"

If this lad doesn't get your help on his voyage this time, don't blame me for actually taking him away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Lion Immortal closed his eyes slightly, about to enter a meditative state.

But the next moment, the man suddenly raised his eyes, his figure flashed, lightning crackled, and he appeared in Fang Shu's quiet room.

After a long silence, a chuckle rang out in the room, "You rascal, you're really stubborn. In that respect, you're nothing like that Yellow Pelt, just like this old man."

Inside the quiet room, a jade box lay on the table, still bearing traces of the Fang Shu's Core Qi.

It was this Core Qi that had just triggered the Azure Lion Immortal.

The contents of the box were the thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal that Fang Shu had wanted to give but hadn't been able to during their earlier conversation.

After a light laugh, the Azure Lion Immortal held the jade box in his hand, and lightning suddenly flashed across his face, making him appear somewhat uncertain.

At this moment, the Azure Lion Immortal carefully examined the Yellow Essence with his Divine Sense and immediately realized that the value of this precious herb was far greater than he had initially thought.

"Three thousand years," the Azure Lion Immortal murmured.

With this medicine, Green Lion might be able to take another step forward, or even several steps—

After much deliberation, a resolute look finally flashed in his eyes.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Azure Lion Immortal's figure dissipated into streaks of lightning, rushing towards the Thunder Pool in the center of the island.

Along with it, the entire sky above Green Lion Island.

The sky was filled with thunder, which roared like spring thunder, full of vitality and vigor, much more vibrant than before.

Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of the other Vast Sea True Immortal.

"This old lion, despite his advanced age, still possesses such a lively spirit?" Many True Immortal wondered.

Many others attributed this turn of events to Fang Shu, believing that Fang Shu cultivation within the Green Lion Mansion had caused this change.

On the other side.

Fang Shu left the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture without making a sound.

However, he did not fly away immediately, but lingered outside the city for a while.

Suddenly, he had a premonition and looked toward the location of the Green Lion Mansion.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on Fang Shu's face.

At this moment, someone flew to his side and respectfully greeted him, "I, True Disciple Fang."

The person who arrived was none other than the boat captain who had brought Fang Shu with him to the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture.

With a gentle wave of his Fang Shu several Gu worms flying out from the boat captain's body and burrowing into his sleeve.

He closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensed the situation, and after confirming that the person had not revealed his whereabouts or contacted any unrelated individuals, he nodded.

Let's go.

Just as the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator thought the two were about to rush overseas, Fang Shu flicked his sleeves, and a treasure ship three thousand feet long appeared in front of them with a whoosh.

Fang Shu's figure flashed and disappeared into the boat, leaving only a telepathic message: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come aboard with me to steer the boat."

The immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator suddenly realized why Fang Shu had told him to pack only his valuables and leave the ship at the Southern Sea Immortal Prefecture, while he went out to sea alone with him.

"So, True Disciple Fang had already prepared the treasure ship." The man surveyed the three-thousand-foot-long treasure ship before him, marveling repeatedly.

Compared to this genuine, high-quality Golden Core Treasure Ship, his Nine Tribulations Sea Ship was practically a small sampan.

"I will obey the True Disciple!" shouted the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator, and leaped into the treasure ship with great spirit.

A voice rang out from the ship. "Since you have already pledged your allegiance to me, why bother calling me 'True Disciple'? Just call me by my name."

"No, no, how about this—I'll address you as 'Master'?"

"Can."

On the treasure ship.

After leaving a large number of Spirit Stone and a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone as a backup at the core of the formation, Fang Shu handed the ship over to the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator.

He himself sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, closed his eyes to meditate, and entered a state of deep concentration.

Buzz!

Above the desert, the air trembled.

The ship, three thousand feet in size, seemed to come alive. Shaped like a whale, it moved slowly and gracefully across the desert, heading away from the Vast Sea Immortal City.

Occasionally, the ship would leap into the vast yellow sands, completely unhindered, like a fish in water.

If someone were standing high in the sky looking down, they would subconsciously think that this ship resembled a young fish that had sprouted from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture.

In the days to come.

Fang Shu let the car, whose surname Immortal cultivator, travel leisurely across the Vast Sea.

Their intention was to wait for Vast Sea Grand Elder to send White Dust True Immortal onto the ship.

As it turned out, nothing unexpected happened along the way.

He was filled with doubt; could it be that the people inside the Immortal Prefecture hadn't even noticed he had left the Vast Sea?

But upon closer reflection, it's highly unlikely.

The other True Immortal are one thing, but the Grand Elder is in charge of the Vast Sea Grand Array. If the other party pays even the slightest attention, anyone who passes through the formation will be known to him.

Moreover, Fang Shu personally left the city this time, rather than hiding in the Secret Realm.

Although he was suspicious, Fang Shu didn't take the matter too seriously.

If we miss this "surprise," then it's just a White Dust, not worth the trouble.

Several more days passed.

When the treasure ship finally crossed the desert and reached the Seaport, the stern-headed immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator awakened Fang Shu.

Fang Shu emerged from his meditation and glanced outside the boat, his brows immediately furrowing slightly.

Right there at the Seaport, a ship was anchored on the sea, and the flag flying on it was none other than that of the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture, making it seem like a cargo ship from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture.

Although encountering ships from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture here is a fairly common occurrence.

But Fang Shu immediately smiled, realizing that the person in question had arrived.

As expected, when he had the Immortal cultivator surnamed Che steer his boat past, the cargo ship of the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture took the initiative to approach.

Furthermore, flag signals were being used on the ship, suggesting that they had encountered some trouble and needed help from their companions.

At Fang Shu's command, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator led the other party as if walking a dog, Western Sea the Western Sea before slowly coming to a stop.

As the two ships came together, figures began to appear on the cargo ship.

They were respectful, wearing the Daoist robes of the disciples of the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture, and like mosquitoes and flies, they shouted and begged to be seen outside the treasure ship.

Faced with this situation, Fang Shu ignored it. He closed his eyes slightly and simply uttered two words: "Noisy."

He waved his hand.

The Che family Immortal cultivator standing next to him suddenly felt a sway.

When the Che family Immortal cultivator came to their senses, they realized that the entire ship had been turned around by Fang Shu himself, and with a burst of spiritual energy, it crashed head-on into the Vast Sea cargo ship.

In an instant.

All that could be seen on the cargo ship were figures in a state of panic, with people constantly being thrown from the ship in an attempt to escape.

However, due to the immense momentum and overwhelming pressure of the Golden Core Treasure Ship, the others were caught off guard. Many of them were like flies swatted by a swatter, instantly exploding into a bloody mist and being crushed to death.

Boom!

The cargo ship they were on was smashed in half, its layers of spiritual light shattered, and the hull emitted a pitiful wail.

Even though he had been sailing for over a century, this scene still amazed the Che family Immortal cultivator.

The immortal Immortal cultivator Che looked around, his face showing not only surprise but also a hint of pleasure.

This was not his first time riding on the Golden Core Treasure Ship, but it was the first time he had used the ship's momentum to so freely ram into others.

"What a fine ship! No wonder it's the owner's treasure ship," the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator exclaimed.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the man's ear, "You like it that much?"

"Then you should work diligently under my command, and in the future, I will entrust this ship to you completely."

These words were spoken by Fang Shu with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator immediately felt his breathing become heavy, as if Qi and Blood in his body were rushing upwards.

He felt dizzy and disoriented, unable to control himself.

In stark contrast to the scene of the two chatting and laughing, screams of agony rang out from outside the ship.

A voice, particularly shrill and filled with resentment, rang out. "Hu Muhuang! How could you be so cruel?!"
