Chapter 28 Return Journey, Robber Cultivators Attack!
"The Tide-Guiding Spirit Technique at its peak is indeed remarkable!"
An hour later, Chen Ye slowly opened his eyes, his expression full of excitement.
With just one complete cycle of the Heavenly Circulation, his cultivation progress increased by one point!
If you cultivate twice a day, your speed will be no less than before you broke through!
Unfortunately, although the strength of the meridians of a mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivator has increased considerably, the limit is two hours of daily cultivation practice.
Practicing for too long can actually reduce the efficiency of your cultivation!
.........
The Juze stayed on Qingjue Island for a total of three days. During this time, the Gong family sent clansmen to the island to purchase a large amount of cultivation supplies. The ship arrived with a full cargo and returned with a ship that was also mostly full.
Five days later, the Juze sailed away from the territory of Qingjue Island, but unlike the Juze, many of the small merchant ships that came with it did not return with it.
These merchant ships came from various factions. Their journey to Qingjue Island was either a stopover or for other purposes, and it was impossible for them to travel with the Gong family's fleet.
Apart from two or three ships belonging to the Gong family, the fleet only had a dozen or so escort ships left.
"Splash~~"
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose on the sea, and waves several meters high crashed onto the deck, causing the entire spirit ship to shake violently.
Fortunately, although the spirit ship was not large, it had all the necessary magic arrays engraved on it, and its hull was so sturdy that it could not be easily destroyed unless it encountered a severe sea condition containing the power of heaven and earth.
Inside the room, Chen Ye stood by the window, gazing at the sea through the thick, sturdy glass panes.
After several days of accelerated travel, the Juze has already completed half of its voyage, but it is precisely at this point that we must not let our guard down!
The Zhou family did not choose to make their move when the fleet left Jinwu Island, but it is hard to guarantee that they will not intercept and kill them on the return journey.
The principle of attacking halfway across the river is not difficult to understand.
"That's... a Tribulation Cultivator!"
Just then, Chen Ye's gaze suddenly sharpened. He saw dozens of ships of varying sizes cutting through the waves on the vast, boundless sea in the distance, rapidly approaching the Gong family's fleet.
The leading spirit ship was dozens of feet long, its hull as black as ink, resembling a reef protruding from the sea. Its bow was decorated with crossbows with a menacing design, clearly indicating that it was not a friendly visitor!
"Waaah~~"
The next moment, the ear-piercing echo of the conch shell reverberated above the fleet, and the voice of the Fourth Elder, Gong Qingshi, also rang out.
"The raiding cultivators are attacking! All spirit ships, converge on the Giant Swamp!"
"Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the bandits if you gather together at this time?"
Chen Ye was puzzled when he heard the order, but the fleet was not under his command. All he could do was fight hard after the bandits got close.
At this moment, the cultivators on the spirit ship also noticed the calamity ship in the distance. Gong Chengyuan came to the bow and controlled the spirit ship to approach the Juze, while the others came to the deck with solemn expressions, preparing to face the upcoming fierce battle.
In just a short while, the raiding fleet was less than 500 feet away from the Giant Swamp!
They first scattered, forming a semi-encirclement to block the Juze's forward direction.
Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly flashed and leaped into the air from the deck of the black ship. It was a middle-aged man with a burly build, dressed in a black robe!
This burly man wielded a crimson-blue broadsword. Although he was traversing the air, there was no magical artifact or spiritual light visible beneath his feet, clearly indicating that he was a powerful expert hidden in secret!
"Haha! The Gong family fleet, I've been waiting for you here for a long time! Now hand over all your valuables!"
The burly man in the black robe laughed loudly, and the hideous scars on his face seemed to crack open with his laughter.
However, before he could even respond, he swiftly activated his magic, causing his broadsword to swell to the size of a door, spewing out several meters of crimson flames from its blade, and then swung it downwards with a fierce strike!
"boom!!!"
The crimson flame blade energy tore through the air like a fiery serpent, causing the sea to boil wherever it passed, its power terrifying, and it slashed straight toward the Giant Swamp in the center of the fleet.
"The strength of those hidden cultivators is truly formidable!"
Chen Ye was shocked to see this, but fortunately the burly man's target was not the spirit ship he was on.
Otherwise, this cut would probably tear everyone on the ship to pieces!
However, just as the terrifying blade energy slashed towards the Giant Swamp, a spirit pearl emitting a milky white light suddenly flew out of the cabin.
The soft white light, like wisps of cloud, spread out over a range of dozens of feet, just enough to block the sword energy unleashed by the burly man in black robes.
Furthermore, as the Crimson Flame Blade Qi drew closer, it seemed to sink into a quagmire, not only slowing down but also rapidly dissipating its power. By the time it landed on the Giant Swamp, it had left not a trace!
Without a doubt, anyone who can withstand a blow from a powerful expert in the Secret Realm must also be a powerful expert in the Secret Realm.
"Could it be the patriarch of my Gong family has arrived!"
Seeing such a fierce attack easily neutralized, Gong Yi's face immediately flashed with excitement.
When he saw the black-robed male cultivator standing in mid-air, he thought he was going to die here. He never expected that his family would secretly send a secret agent to accompany him!
As if they had been given a second chance at life, the members of the Gong family breathed a sigh of relief and then couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"It shouldn't be the clan leader. If the clan leader had made a move, this person would be dead already!"
"That's right, with our clan leader's strength, he could easily kill even two of the most powerful cultivators..."
Stop fucking talking! What if it actually comes true?
Chen Ye was utterly speechless. Who knew if another hidden expert might emerge from among these raiding ships?
However, he also gleaned some useful information from these words. It seemed that the Gong family patriarch must be quite powerful, at least in the late stage of the Secret Realm, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of their boasting.
As the attack was blocked, a crisp rebuke came from the Giant Swamp.
"Slaughtering Red Serpent, who gave you the audacity to plunder my Gong family's fleet!"
As the voice faded, a graceful figure in emerald green rose into the air, confronting the burly man in black robes across the distance.
"It's the Grand Elder!"
Even though the Gong family only had two hidden experts, Gong Qingru's appearance still greatly excited the Gong family members.
Only Gong Chengyuan's expression didn't change much after Gong Qingru appeared, as if he already knew about it.
As for Tu Chishe, he was the leader of a gang of cultivators who roamed the nearby seas. The gang was named the Chishe Gang after him.
The Red Serpent Gang usually robs merchant ships, committing countless atrocities. Today, they have set their sights on the Gong family's fleet.
"Gong Qingru?!"
Looking at the beautiful woman's charming and graceful appearance, Tu Chishe couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
According to the information provided by the main family, wasn't Gong Qingru supposed to have been handling clan affairs during this time? How could she suddenly appear here?
But luckily he was prepared!
