Chen Shuangbai is a person who always seeks revenge.
The cultivation notes and Pill Formula left behind by Listening to the Waves Rogue Person were of great help to Chen Shuangbai when he was still Qi Refining cultivator.
Now that the Foundation Establishment, I still frequently review these records to learn from them, avoid pitfalls, and summarize my experiences.
Since we have inherited their legacy, we cannot simply stand by and watch their descendants perish.
With a flap of its wings, Feiguang unleashed dozens of condensed, icy blades that rained down from the sky, instantly killing the remaining Silver Arrow Porpoise. A layer of blood immediately appeared on the surface of the sea.
The one or two that were lucky enough to survive dived down and scattered in all directions.
With their life-or-death crisis averted, the people on the ship couldn't help but shout in unison, "Thank God!"
But some people noticed Chen Shuangbai standing in the clouds, on the cabin floor, shouting loudly towards them, "Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life!"
Chen Shuangbai took a step forward, his body transforming into a bluish-white light as he descended, revealing his handsome figure.
He first glanced at the pattern on the flag, then scanned the crowd, and saw them all kneel down in unison, calling out "Greetings, Supreme Cultivator."
Those who can control the escape light are considered to be at the Foundation Establishment stage.
This is the kind of insight a cultivator should have.
"Who is in charge on the ship?"
Upon hearing Chen Shuangbai's question, everyone's gaze turned to a young man. The young man appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a worn blue robe with a short sword at his waist. His cultivation level was only around the Qi Refining First Layer. Although his face was somewhat pale, his eyes were bright and calm.
The young man stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "I, Xu Zhanlu, am deeply grateful to you for saving my life!"
"I do not know which immortal mountain you cultivate on, sir. I humbly request that you leave your name, and I will surely repay you in return!"
Chen Shuangbai's gaze lingered on the boy's face for a moment.
After that senior cultivator who listened to the Rogue Cultivator, only a skeleton remained, and nothing could be seen from his appearance.
However, his cultivation records mentioned his Lineage background and the name of his younger brother. Chen Shuangbai then raised his hand and waved his hand, releasing his Law Power to separate the two of them.
Who is Xu Chuanxi to you?
Xu Zhanlu suddenly raised his head, looking at Chen Shuangbai with some surprise and uncertainty, unaware that his thoughts were completely exposed to Chen Shuangbai.
The young man looked young, but he was quite courageous, neither humble nor arrogant. After thinking for a moment, he honestly replied, "Reporting to you, Master, Xu Chuanxi... is indeed my ancestor."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, thinking to herself that this also made sense.
He asked a few more questions, guiding the young man to speak to the Listening to the Waves Rogue Person.
Xu Zhanlu shook his head and said, "My great-uncle sought immortality in his early years, but disappeared without a trace. Only his memorial tablet remains in our home for worship..."
It seems that this young man is indeed a descendant of Xu Chuanxi, the younger brother of Listening to the Waves Rogue Person.
Chen Shuangbai nodded.
This debt of gratitude has now been repaid.
He decided not to hide anything from the young man and said, "Your great-uncle owed me a debt of gratitude, and now that I've encountered his descendant, I cannot stand idly by. I will escort you for a while. Where do you intend to go now?"
Xu Zhanlu was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He repeatedly kowtowed and said, "I never expected that my esteemed elder and my great-uncle would have such a connection."
From this person's rambling, Chen Shuangbai gained an understanding of the rise and fall of the Changlin Xu Clan.
After Listening to the Waves Rogue Person achieved Foundation Establishment, he quietly returned home, but did not see any of the other clansmen. He only met his younger brother, Xu Chuanxi, and left behind a Cultivation Method and several pills before quietly departing.
Xu Chuanxi also wanted to cultivate, thanks to his elder brother's fortuitous opportunity, but unfortunately he lacked the aptitude for Spirit Root.
However, he had a good business sense. With the help of his elder brother's legacy, the basic Cultivation Method, and a few pills, he carefully managed his business in the secular world and gradually accumulated some wealth. He even married, had children, and his family line expanded.
After that, if anyone in the family had Spirit Root talent, they would often try out that Cultivation Method.
But no one could fix it until Xu Zhanlu appeared.
But... disaster struck unexpectedly.
An unknown Bandit Cultivator, having learned of his family's legacy, came knocking on his door one rainy night and slaughtered his entire family, leaving only him and a few clansmen stranded at sea.
Fortunately, the Xu Household had recruited a foreign retainer who was injured and unable to be promoted years ago. The retainer then led Xu Zhanlu across the ocean to this sea, where they began to make a living from the sea.
Chen Shuangbai, understanding dawning on her.
He felt neither anger nor sympathy.
That's just how the cultivation world is.
Where are you staying now?
Chen Shuangbai asked.
Xu Zhanlu honestly replied, "On an island about two hundred miles east of here, my family escaped, consisting mostly of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. We are currently staying temporarily under the wing of a cultivation Lineage on that island, hoping to gather more spiritual materials from the sea, earn Shell Pearl, and find an unclaimed spiritual island to settle down and live a peaceful life."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, then raised her hand and a medium-sized flying boat appeared out of thin air.
Xu Zhanlu looked up and saw that the flying boat was decorated with array patterns, shimmering with spiritual light and exuding a powerful aura, far stronger than his own guest. A hint of envy appeared in his eyes.
Chen Shuangbai raised his right hand again, and everyone on the ship landed on the flying boat.
Chen Shuangbai said to Xu Zhanlu, "Please lead the way, and I will escort you back to the island."
"Yes!"
The group landed on the magnificent flying ship, their eyes showing expressions of relief at surviving a disaster, knowing in their hearts that they were saved.
Once everyone had boarded the flying boat, Xu Zhanlu followed and stood slightly behind Chen Shuangbai, respectfully pointing out the location.
The flying boat spreads its wings and soars high, clearing the way ahead.
Xu Zhanlu now realized that this magnificent Demon Beast was the spirit pet of this Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his eyes revealed envy and longing for those with higher cultivation levels.
The flying boat slowly rose into the air, then transformed into a streak of light, flying steadily in the direction Xu Zhanlu pointed out.
This was also purchased by Chen Shuangbai in Jade Wave Immortal Market, in order to prepare for some special unforeseen circumstances.
Now it's come in handy.
The airship soared through the air, with the boundless blue ocean below.
Chen Shuangbai didn't ask any further questions about the Xu Household's specific predicament, as it was of little concern to him; he only needed to settle his karmic debt with Listening to the Waves Rogue Person.
He stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze blowing his pine-frost-colored Daoist robe, making it flutter.
About a day later, the outline of an island appeared on the horizon ahead.
The island resembles an open clamshell with a bay in the middle. The island is covered with lush vegetation, and you can vaguely see some buildings and signs of human habitation.
"Shangxiu, that's it."
Xu Zhanlu pointed to the island and said.
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly and steered the flying boat down. But before the people on board could disembark, several streaks of light flew up from the island in the distance and approached the flying boat with a menacing aura. They were probably the island's guards.
Xu Zhanlu wanted to go forward and greet them, but the leader suddenly started cursing at him.
"You guys surnamed Xu, how dare you! The rent is due two days ago, and you still dare to swagger back? And you even brought this... um?"
Chen Shuangbai didn't say anything, but simply looked up at the other person.
The person who was cursing felt a sudden tightness in their chest, and the even more offensive words stuck in their throat. They felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on their back. They knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"No... I was unaware of your arrival, Your Excellency. I have failed to greet you properly... Please forgive me."
