Envoy of Peace
Within the circle of Nanyang shamans, there is a generally accepted hierarchy of strength: shamans from civilized tribes cannot defeat those from uncivilized tribes, and shamans without tribes cannot defeat those with tribes.
Coincidentally, the shamans brought by Su Tiya were all shamans without tribes. These people had already infiltrated the secular elite circles of Java. Their main work usually involved feng shui, Jiangtou, bewitching spells, raising ghost children, creating witchcraft dolls, and incidentally, some Jiangtou and curse techniques.
Many wizards' methods of actual killing have degenerated, making them far inferior to these savage wizards who readily engage in large-scale blood sacrifices.
Putting aside other things, savage sorcerers are ruthless characters who can dismantle their own bodies to Jiangtou during magical duels, so it's common for these savage sorcerers to be missing limbs.
Among these local wizards, the strongest was actually Elder Moheda's son, a young wizard with a thin and gloomy face.
Moheita wasn't there to fight these uncivilized tribesmen. He came because he needed the financial support from Zheng Family Garden so he could become the tribe's chief elder. The civilized tribesmen were different from the uncivilized ones. Although they had lost much of their wildness, they still acted based on money. Without money, the chief elder's words were useless.
According to his discussion with Su Tiya, once the group of savage shamans arrived, he, as the tribal elder, would make a deal with them. As long as they didn't carry out a large-scale blood sacrifice in Port Surumai, they were willing to secretly provide enough "two-legged animals" for the other party to use in the sacrifice, in exchange for the other party's departure.
If this succeeds, Moheita's own prestige will also increase significantly, making his succession to the position of Grand Elder no longer a problem.
Su Tiya pressed the receiving Law Artifact by her ear. The other end seemed to say something, and she hummed in response. Then she spoke to the young Jiangtou beside her.
"They'll be here in about half an incense stick's time. We'll have to trouble the Grand Elder with the negotiations then."
"Of course," Moheita said in broken Heavenly Gate, but after a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke:
"What did the newly appointed Martial Hall Master say?"
The reputation of the top ten martial arts masters has spread beyond Zheng Family Garden. Although they are all masters, they are given different nicknames because of their different businesses. The Heavenly Blood Python, which is in charge of the martial arts inside and outside Zheng Family Garden, has the additional title of Martial Hall Master.
"The Martial Hall Master suppressed some militant ideas about sinking the ships with cannons, saying only that if these barbarian shamans successfully landed, they would be left to us to deal with."
Moheita immediately agreed, saying, "Martial Hall Master's idea is correct. Ships protected by witchcraft are not so easy to sink. If we can't destroy the enemy, then we'll face a frenzied counterattack from the barbarians on board. Those blood sacrifice witches are madmen; they don't care about sacrificing their own lives for the enemy's. And this level of Death Jiangtou doesn't require hair to cast the spell; many people will die, and even Boss Zheng will be implicated."
Jiangtou of the Death Jiangtou level can be cast even if you only know its name. This is why important figures in Nanyang are extremely wary of Nanyang witchcraft and dare not easily provoke these natives.
"That means Zheng Family Garden's reputation will probably suffer another three points," Su Tiya sighed.
In the arena of Nanyang, reputation is life itself; losing one's reputation can be worse than losing one's life.
She could sense that there were many spies from other gangs in this port.
But Boss Zheng has just been bewitched by Liang Household Garden's witchcraft, so who dares to mention it now?
Soon, a black ship appeared on the coastline.
At the bow of the ship, a huge, snarling beast head is carved. The beast head is neither like a lion nor a tiger, but more like an ancient ferocious beast that has long been extinct and only exists in the depths of the tropical rainforest. It has its blood-red mouth wide open, revealing two rows of jagged fangs that have been dyed dark red.
Two fist-sized white stones were embedded in the eye sockets of the beast's head, gleaming with a murky, dead-fish-like luster in the sunlight, staring intently in the direction of the harbor.
The hull was covered with a dense mass of barnacles and dark green seaweed. Some of the barnacles had grown to the size of a fist, piled up in layers, covering the lower half of the hull like a suit of armor. The seaweed hung down on both sides of the hull, swaying gently with the rise and fall of the waves, like countless green tentacles dancing in the water.
Soon, one after another, a group of old wizards who looked extremely ferocious emerged from the cabin.
They were generally short and thin, their skin roughened to a dark brown by the sea breeze and scorching sun, covered with crisscrossing wrinkles and scars.
Their hair was gray and sparse, some braided into thin plaits, others disheveled and loose, like clumps of withered grass.
Their clothing was extremely simple; some wore a tattered sarong, some only had an animal skin around their waist, and some were even shirtless, revealing dense totem tattoos on their chests and arms. Some of these tattoos were abstract geometric patterns, some were distorted animal shapes, and some were unrecognizable symbols that seemed to come from Savage Wilderness world.
Leading the group was an old wizard standing at the bow of the ship. His hair had completely fallen out, and his head was covered with age spots and scars. He wore earrings made of animal teeth and withered fingers that dangled down to his shoulders.
Most strikingly, his belly had been cut open, revealing an empty abdomen without internal organs, but instead a bizarre infant's head.
This old man is still alive!
Even Su Tiya, a ruthless Ruthless Witch known for her viciousness in the underworld, twitched slightly at the sight of this scene.
In terms of sorcery and Jiangtou alone, this one probably surpasses even the previous barbarian witch.
Just when everyone was on high alert
The Hu Mang stood on a reef, silently watching this scene.
He raised his right hand and gently clenched his fist in the direction of the ship.
Beneath the surface of the sea, an invisible force began to surge.
At first, the seawater only rippled slightly, as if a large fish was swimming slowly underwater. But soon, the force became stronger and more violent, and a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten feet appeared, with the center of the whirlpool directly facing the bottom of the black ship.
At the edge of the whirlpool, the seawater was churned as if boiling, producing large amounts of white foam and bubbles, and emitting a deep, rumbling sound like a giant beast swallowing.
The old wizards on the ship finally realized something was wrong. Some began chanting spells, some started waving their bone staffs, and some tried to jump ship to escape, but it was all too late.
The power of the Ghost Dragon Vein suddenly erupted from the depths of the sea.
The old wizards on the ship let out terrified screams and curses.
Some attempted to use witchcraft to save themselves, but the power of the Ghost Dragon Vein was simply beyond their ability to counter.
Those wizards who tried to fly were slammed back onto the ship from mid-air by an invisible force; those who tried to summon their guardian spirits found their spirits trembling under the pressure of the Ghost Dragon Vein, not daring to show themselves; those who tried to jump into the sea to swim to escape were swept into the depths by whirlpools as soon as they entered the water, without even a bubble rising to the surface.
Seawater flooded the cabin, into every crevice, into the throats and lungs of every old wizard.
As it turns out, no matter how bizarre and fierce a wizard may be, he is still just a mortal being.
If you fall into the water, you will drown.
Most importantly, they can't fly yet.
In the eyes of the people at the port,
After a deafening Seaquake, the entire ship was dragged to the bottom of the sea before everyone's eyes.
Soon, several armed small boats arrived, and two alleyway leaders jumped out. Zhou Shenzhi, who seemed more like an accountant than a dockworker, said directly:
"Gentlemen, the ship is ready. Call your wizards and come with us."
Su Tiya then came to her senses and subconsciously asked, "Where are we going?"
"By order of Boss Zheng, the martial arts school has dispatched a team to eliminate all the aborigines on Mandala Islet."
"The first batch of warships has already sailed over and is waiting for you. Is there a problem?" Zhou Shenzhi asked, puzzled.
The most powerful group of shamans is gone. The entire tribe is easily overpowered. Why are you all hesitating?
He remembered that those Technique Method from the indigenous tribes were quite popular.
Moheita finally recovered from his shock and hurriedly asked, "What kind of Law Technique was used? How could it so easily drag a spellcaster down?"
Zhou Shenzhi grinned. "Do you think I'd know such a secret, sir?"
Then he became puzzled again.
"It's one thing if I didn't know, but you wizards don't know either? Isn't this a form of Jiangtou?"
"..."
A sorcerer whose power has been absorbed by at least 90% of the indigenous tribes is like a roasted pig to all sorcerers.
The power of Nanyang shamans does not come from spiritual practice, but rather from the traditions of some ancient tribes, shamanic artifacts, and even the spirits they raise.
This kind of heritage is most prevalent among the indigenous tribes, so Moheita made a decisive move, saying that he would mobilize all his people to go to the island where the indigenous tribe was located to carry out the extermination plan for Boss Zheng.
Meanwhile, Liang Yanqiu and Liang Xiaoqiu witnessed the entire event from a building in the port.
Especially Liang Yanqiu, her red lips slightly parted. As a successor of the witch seal, she knew how terrifying the Nanyang Jiangtou was. And this ship, full of barbarian witches, was dragged into the water by some inexplicable means, and everyone on board drowned?!
"Was this within your expectations, Sister Yanqiu?" Liang Xiaoqiu asked.
Faced with the other person's kind and pure gaze, Liang Yanqiu's lips twitched slightly, and she said dryly, "The Heavenly Blood Python truly lives up to its reputation."
On the island, the Hu Mang who personally orchestrated everything stated:
He's just a peace-loving person.
Peace will come if we eliminate all those who do not love peace.
