"What's wrong?"
Zhao Min looked at Xu Long, who was suddenly stunned, and asked in confusion.
They were sitting in a small boat. There was no wind at sea, and the boat had no sail, but it was moving steadily in one direction.
As for why...
Rice Bucket: "Please, please stop asking!"
"I sensed an extremely powerful aura at the location of Mount Wudang."
Xu Long's expression was serious; his aura was ridiculously powerful, yet it seemed to be nonexistent.
Desolate, vast, and ethereal.
" Mount Wudang? You're kidding me, it's seven or eight thousand miles away! Do you think you're Kami?!"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, Zhao Min curled her lip in disdain.
Feeling the aura of Mount Wudang from seven or eight thousand miles away is just too far-fetched.
If they really had that ability, they would probably have become immortals long ago.
"It's also possible that the perception is wrong."
Xu Long shook his head and said no more about it.
He was heading to Ice and Fire Island, his purpose naturally being the Dragon Slaying Sabre and Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun.
At this time, Abbess Miejue, the leader of the Emei Sect, was organizing the Six Great Sects to besiege Bright Peak. It was also a good time for the First-rate sects of the martial arts world to gather together.
Xu Long wanted to take this opportunity to do something, and naturally, he needed the Dragon Slaying Sabre and the Heavenly Sword.
As for Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun, he was simply taken along the way.
He was so badly harmed by Cheng Kun that he was neither human nor ghost, so it's a good opportunity to resolve the matter at the same time.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat braised chicken, specifically from Dezhou."
After drifting at sea for a while, Zhao Min began to mutter to herself.
She was the daughter of the Prince of Ruyang, and grew up in luxury, having tasted all the finest things in the world.
Although the food Xu Long brought out wasn't particularly rare, it was the first time I'd ever tasted it.
"Oh, and I also want donkey meat sandwiches from Hejian, and roujiamo from Shaanxi..."
Zhao Min counted on her fingers, her mouth practically watering.
"You're eating such a meager meal..."
Xu Long sighed, feeling a bit like throwing her into the sea.
"Actually, it's not impossible..."
Zhao Min blushed and muttered softly.
They took out three roast chickens from the storage space, one for each of them, and the third one was given to the Rice Bucket whose body was half-submerged in water.
Life at sea is boring and lonely.
But Xu Long did not choose to board the spaceship; instead, he drifted aimlessly.
He has just survived the Lightning Tribulation and advanced to the Golden Core Stage, and needs time to stabilize his cultivation.
The time spent adrift at sea was perfect for doing this.
That Rice Bucket is truly a master at everything except fighting; he'd be First-rate -rate propeller.
After drifting at sea for several months, we successfully arrived at Ice and Fire Island.
The island is not large, only a few dozen square kilometers.
There are mountains and trees, Beast and birds, so survival shouldn't be a problem.
"Who?"
As soon as they landed on the island, a roar was heard.
Then a blind man with blond hair and a golden beard, covered in leaves, descended from the sky, holding a large, exaggeratedly designed machete in his hand.
It was none other than Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun!
"It's me, Wuji!"
Xu Long said.
" Wuji? It's you back? Wuji!"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, Xie Xun immediately became agitated, "Where's your father? Where's your mother? Why didn't they come back with you? Who's this next to you? Is she my goddaughter-in-law?"
"They're dead, forced to their deaths by the Five Great Sects. The woman next to me is Zhao Min, the daughter of the Prince of Prince of Ruyang Yuan Dynasty ruler; she was also my slave."
Xu Long shook his head and said, "I have three purposes for coming here this time. First, to take you to the Central Plains to retire. Second, to avenge the grudge you suffered back then. Third, for the Dragon Slaying Sabre."
"Seeking revenge for what happened back then? You've found Cheng Kun?"
Although the Golden-Haired Lion King was blind, his senses were extremely sharp.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed Xu Long's presence the moment he landed, nor would he have been so certain that Xu Long was Zhang Wuji.
" Cheng Kun, using the alias Yuanzhen, has been sowing discord between the Five Great Sects and the Ming Cult, and has even become a lackey of the Yuan Dynasty. The current siege of Bright Peak by the Abbess Miejue Emei Sect leader, Abbess Miejue, who has gathered the strength of the Six Great Sects, is a result of his instigation. When the Six Great Sects gather in a while, it will be the best time to expose him."
Xu Long recounted the general events, while Zhao Min, standing beside him, was utterly horrified.
These things were extremely secretive; there were some that even she didn't know.
What kind of supernatural power does Zhang Wuji possess that allows him to know so much?
" Cheng Kun! Ah! Cheng Kun!"
Upon hearing this name he had hated for decades, Xie Xun was filled with rage, and a terrifying power surged around him.
Fortunately, Xu Long had already advanced to the Golden Core Stage, so these forces could not harm him.
"Let's go! We'll set off immediately for the Ming Cult! We'll kill Cheng Kun and settle accounts with the Five Great Sects!"
The Golden-Haired Lion King snorted coldly and was about to board the ship when Xu Long interrupted him.
"Don't rush, let's heal your eyes first! It'll hurt a little, don't resist."
"What's pain? Laozi... ah..."
Before the Golden-Haired Lion King could finish speaking, Xu Long's finger pierced his eye socket like lightning, pulling out a damaged eyeball. Then, a pool of green fluid shot into his bleeding eye socket.
" Wuji, why are you doing this to me!"
The intense pain caused the Golden-Haired Lion King to roar, and he swung his Dragon Slaying Sabre even more fiercely.
bite!
The sound was crisp and clear, like the clanging of metal.
The terrifying blade energy stopped half a meter in front of him before dissipating without a trace.
This is a solidified Iron Curtain Defense within the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, granting invincibility for a period of time.
As Xu Long's cultivation level increased, this natal magic weapon also continued to grow stronger.
Xu Long possesses a powerful physical body and far more True Qi than ordinary cultivators, making him capable of using it to nurture two natal magic treasures.
I didn't hurt you.
Xu Long said something but did not retaliate.
He realized that, despite his extreme anger, the Golden-Haired Lion King had not used his full strength.
"You didn't harm me? Then why did you gouge out my eyes?"
"Because the eyeball is already necrotic, there's no treatment without removing it!"
Xu Long replied.
"Absurd! Even if you were the Hu Qingniu, Medical Immortal of Butterfly Valley, you couldn't possibly use eye-gouging as a treatment... um..."
The Golden-Haired Lion King roared angrily, then seemed to realize something.
The darkness that had shrouded us for decades vanished, and glimmers of light quietly appeared.
He waved his hand in front of his eyes, and a look of wild joy immediately appeared on the Golden-Haired Lion King's face.
"Hahaha! Laozi eyes are healed! Laozi eyes are healed!"
The Golden-Haired Lion King shoved the Dragon-Slaying Dragon Slaying Sabre into Xu Long's hand, then gouged out the other eyeball.
"Quick, heal this eye too!"
"Okay, don't rush."
Xu Long smiled and squeezed out another puddle of green juice, which he then shot into the opening.
This skill is embedded in the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram; it can heal most physical injuries and alleviate soul trauma.
Limb regeneration is not a major problem.
"You've made something of yourself! You've really made something of yourself!"
Xie Xun's hands trembled with excitement as he looked at Xu Long's face, deeply moved. "He looks exactly like your father when he was young..."
