Chapter 141: Chapter 49: Welcoming the Senior

Li Jizhou silently blended into the crowd and arrived on the deck, now less than ten zhang away from Han Zhuo.

The Bai Yi within his Dantian was restless.

Once cultivated, the Postnatal True Flame indeed possesses immense power.

Its fiery power is not much different from Bai Yi, the Innate Fire Spirit.

The Tier Two Bai Yi, disregarding the risk of exhausting its source, can effortlessly kill a Fake Pill.

Back then, Master Qingmu’s Three Nether Demon Flame was already comparable in power to a Fake Pill, and now that Han Zhuo’s Four Nether Demon Flame is newly formed, it might also have the power to kill a Fake Pill.

However, one thing suppresses another; Bai Yi, after all, is an Innate True Flame, a spirit of heaven and earth, inherently suppressing even the fully developed Four Nether Demon Flame, not to mention Han Zhuo’s immature Four Nether True Flame.

Li Jizhou forcibly suppressed Bai Yi’s excitement, allowing it to establish a sense with the Four Nether Demon Flame, enabling him to perceive its location at any time, without rushing.

In relatively closed places like the Five Elders Association Sea Domain, with a limited ceiling, there’s often exclusion, especially against those who pose a significant threat against them in terms of strength.

Of course, for those far superior to them, they wouldn’t even have a chance to resist and would instead show double the courtesy.

However, generally, those above the Middle Stage of True Core wouldn’t look at such a small place. A Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Vein isn’t sufficient for someone at the Middle Stage of True Core to cultivate.

“Hmph! Consider yourselves wise. I shall leave you a way out; each person must pay two thousand spirit stones for your lives.”

After commanding his subordinates to rob all the goods inside the Spirit Ship, Han Zhuo coldly stared at the crowd driven onto the deck.

“Senior Han, spare us. All my possessions amount to this much, accumulated with hard work over half my life. If you take it all, you are taking my life!” a slightly agitated loose Qi Cultivator shouted.

“I don’t have two thousand spirit stones in all my assets, I truly can’t produce them!”

“Senior, please show mercy, I have only eight hundred spirit stones; I will give them all to you, sincerely having nothing more.” A poorer small Qi Cultivator hurriedly took out his storage bag to demonstrate publicly.

For a moment, the deck was filled with cries and pleas for mercy.

Li Jizhou lowered his head, observing his nose, and his nose observing his heart, taking two steps back to distance himself from those begging for mercy.

Facing robbery, pleading for pity and benevolence is like seeking fish in a tree?

“Boom~”

Sure enough, in the next moment, a heat wave hit, and a purple fire cloud was instantly emitted from Han Zhuo’s hand.

In less than three breaths, the first begging loose cultivator was reduced to ash.

And their storage bag also fell to the ground,

Han Zhuo took a step and had already arrived on the deck.

He picked up the storage bag, examined it carefully, and said, “Choosing wealth over life? Then I shall fulfill your wish.”

Then, he slightly raised his head, sweeping a glance around: “Anyone else?”

The crowd instantly retreated three steps, and the scene was silent.

The power of the Four Nether Demon Flame left them in despair.

“Collect the spirit stones!” Han Zhuo smiled with satisfaction, nodding his chin towards his subordinate.

Several subordinates then began to collect the buy-life spirit stones one by one.

He, on the other hand, scanned all the people with his Divine Sense.

Seeing someone almost reaching him, Li Jizhou remained expressionless.

Although, six years ago, when leaving Xiaogang Peak, he hadn’t had the chance to sell the pills Bai Yi refined. Moreover, he had spent a hefty sum purchasing a top-grade Flying Ship and puppet materials, leaving his spirit stone reserves just above ten thousand.

During these six years, having traversed the Spirit Barren Land multiple times, most of the pills Bai Yi refined before were also consumed.

The bit over ten thousand spirit stones on him now would be his capital for establishing himself in the Five Elders Association Sea Domain.

However, with various skills on him, making money was not difficult as long as he had materials.

A mere two thousand spirit stones were of little concern.

It’s just that voluntary spending and enforced robbery are of different nature.

Though he doesn’t hold grudges over past enmities, this cause was planted.

The rest of his life ahead is long, and Bai Yi has connected with the Demon Flame. He believes he will eventually reap this fruit, so there’s no rush.

Just as Li Jizhou was about to straightforwardly hand over two thousand spirit stones,

suddenly,

“Oh, oh, oh, why disguise such a stunning fairy? Hahaha, come back with Han to be my village lady, and I’ll ensure your prosperity and wealth!”

The very thing Qi Yuan feared happened.

Han Zhuo laughed and walked towards Qi Yuan, the path clearing as other cultivators quickly made way.

Upon approaching, Han Zhuo scrutinized her again, his smile widening, genuinely taken aback by Qi Yuan’s explosive figure.

“Hehe~ Fellow Daoist Han, you are indeed in good spirits.” Qi Yuan, seeing that her disguise was revealed, no longer hid it, wearing a cold smile.

“May I ask for the fairy’s name?”

“Call me Mother!” Qi Yuan coldly laughed.

“You seek death!” Han Zhuo instantly erupted in anger.

People around scattered in haste.

It was well-known that Han Zhuo’s greatest sore point was his mother.

His defection from the Five Elders Association back then was due to his mother being unjustly treated.

Qi Yuan still bore a smile, as she purposefully provoked him.

For her, crossing her bottom line was nothing less than a life and death struggle.

Soon, her magical power at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment burst forth, ready to strike anytime.

Seeing Han Zhuo, filled with rage, the Four Nether Demon Flame rising from his hands, the scene was filled with horror, with everyone fearing collateral damage.

However, just as Han Zhuo was about to strike,

he suddenly changed expressions, scanning around swiftly, then quickly flying back.

Only when suspended above his Spirit Ship did he take a long look at those aboard Linglong Island’s Spirit Ship.

Then cupped his hands: “Which master is here? May I have the honor of meeting you?”

Since cultivating a One Nether True Flame, he was aware of its danger sensing ability. Two years ago, if not for the True Flame sensing danger, making him act early, he would have already been executed by several old fellows of the Five Elders Association, not having a chance to escape.

Just now, as he was about to act, the Four Nether Demon Flame sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

The source came from among that group of people.

He wasn’t certain what the danger indicated by the Four Nether True Flame was, but at that moment, the Four Nether True Flame’s reaction was even stronger than when he was hunted by one True Core and three Fake Pills two years ago.

After waiting for a while without a response, Han Zhuo became increasingly anxious.

Immediately, he again cupped his fists: “I seek revenge solely for my mother, only targeting the Five Elders Association. Unaware of your presence, I humbly beg for forgiveness and will leave at once.”

Having said that, without awaiting any response, he swiftly gathered his bewildered subordinates and submerged into the sea, disappearing from sight.

Only then did an exclamation burst forth on the Spirit Ship.

“Thank you, Master, for scaring away the villain!” The manager of Linglong Island was overwhelmed, deeply bowing to the crowd on the deck.

Everyone looked around and quickly dispersed.

Li Jizhou also quietly moved to the side amidst the crowd.

Eventually, the spot where the Linglong Island’s manager bowed was empty.

At first, everyone was baffled, and then they realized that a formidable senior was hiding among them but didn’t want to reveal their identity. They bowed in place and expressed their thanks, then each returned to their cabins.

Only Qi Yuan glanced at Li Jizhou, silently feeling gratitude in her heart.

Li Jizhou had already followed the crowd back to the cabin.

Indeed, it was he who had Bai Yi intimidate the Four Nether Demon Flame just now; the results were satisfactory.

After this event, the following half month was almost smooth sailing,

However, the deeper into the sea domain, the more he witnessed the terrifying power of spiritual energy storms.

Fortunately, the Spirit Ship could dive into the deep sea to evade storms without major incidents.

Simultaneously, he also saw how abundant the sea demonic beast resources are.

When the Spirit Ship submerged, outside its protective array were deep-sea demon beasts rushing over to devour people.

Their species are many, and their numbers are startling, incomparable to inland demon beasts.

Half a month later, the Spirit Ship steadily arrived at Linglong Island’s port.

By then, the port was already crowded, with all present in uniform robes, waiting respectfully.

The manager aboard the Spirit Ship loudly explained: “Master, I have already reported the previous incident to the Island Lord through a Communication Talisman. The Island Lord, moved by your grace, personally brings all high-ranking members of the island to welcome you today.”
