Chapter 397 Murong Zhan Tie
Outside the city of Bajing.
A large, crimson ship slowly sailed in, countless sword energies whistling through the air, forming a cloud of sword blades, its power shaking the heavens.
Countless martial artists were stunned and fled the port at top speed.
They all recognized it; it was a warship belonging to the Crimson Sword Sect!
Could it be that the Crimson Sword Sect is about to go to war with the Tyrant Whale Sect?
The rogue cultivators fled in panic, wishing they had two more legs.
Fortunately, the warship did not continue into the port, but stopped far away. Countless disciples of the Crimson Sword Sect flew out, forming a sword formation, looking down on all directions.
Meanwhile, higher up in the sky, an extremely cold negotiation was underway.
Holding a long sword, the middle-aged swordsman with a gloomy face flicked his sleeve, pointing the sword directly at Tang Yulan opposite him.
"Say it again, how did my son die?"
Tang Yulan frowned and said humbly, "Murong Ming suddenly appeared in the demon territory, seemingly making peace with the demons. He was then driven by the Little Leopard King to kill Wang Yintai, but was killed in return."
"You fart!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the middle-aged man with the sword roared angrily and slashed down with his sword.
The sword swept across, stirring up thunder, and the heavens and earth changed color.
Just then, Yuan Bahai, who had been silently observing from the side, stretched out his fist and forcefully smashed the sword energy back.
He grinned wickedly and said without any restraint, "Old man Murong, have you asked enough? Now it's my turn to ask you! Why did your son go to make peace with the demon race? Could it be that he's afraid of the threat from the Nine Nether Palace and is preparing to join the demon race?"
Swish it!
An endless chill hung in the air.
Murong Zhantie could barely contain his anger and wanted to smash that damned Yuan Bahai to pieces.
He knew, of course, why his son was going to the West Island—to obtain a priceless treasure.
But now he not only failed to obtain the treasure, but also lost his life. He has to come and get an explanation no matter what.
To his utter surprise, Yuan Bahai showed no respect whatsoever and instead questioned him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Bahai, don't push your luck. I came to the island today only to take the murderer's life. My son was not killed by the demon race. You can't fool me."
Yuan Bahai nodded: "You're right, but the one who killed your son was an inner disciple of my Tyrant Whale Sect. How can I hand him over to you?"
"An inner disciple? A mere inner disciple dares to be compared to my son!"
Murong Zhantie was utterly enraged, his tone chillingly sinister.
But Yuan Bahai was equally unceremonious, crossing his arms and saying, "Your son brought this upon himself, so he has no one to blame but himself. If you don't leave now, then let's start a war. You know I'm not joking with you."
After saying that, Yuan Bahai strode away, and Tang Yulan, Fang Wuji, and the others quickly followed.
Even Tang Yulan didn't expect that Yuan Bahai would actually protect Wang Yintai to the death. Does that kid really have such high talent?
Meanwhile, on the Crimson Sword Sect's side, a group of elders all revealed murderous intent.
"Sect Leader, with just your command, we will surely wipe out Tyrant Whale Island!"
Murong Zhantie hesitated for a moment, then finally turned around and said, "Let's go back."
"But Sect Leader..."
"Now is not the time to tear off the mask of civility. The Nine Nether Palace is becoming increasingly aggressive. If internal strife breaks out now, where will I place the entire sect?"
Murong Zhan Tie sighed, and endless hatred formed a soaring sword intent that pierced the sky.
At the same time, a voice echoed throughout Whale Island.
"Wang Yintai of the Tyrant Whale Sect, if you step out of Tyrant Whale Island, you will be killed without mercy!"
……
Tang family.
Ye Kang, who had just received the Carp God, was speechless.
Tang Wan, Tang Yi, and the others beside them also stared at the sky in horror.
"It's Murong Zhantie! He's so domineering, issuing this kill order!"
"Brother Wang, you should not leave Tyrant Whale Island in the future. Just focus on your cultivation. It seems that old guy won't dare to break in and kill you."
Ye Kang withdrew his gaze and smiled, "In that case, you all need not worry. It's just that I've only been a guest elder in the Tang family for a few days before I have to leave."
"Not at all! If you can join the Tyrant Whale Sect, Brother Wang's future will surely be bright!"
Tang Yi patted Ye Kang on the shoulder and whispered, "It's a pity, though. I can't invite you on treasure hunts anymore."
The two burst into laughter, while Tang Wan clenched her fists and said, "Wang Yintai, next time we meet, I want you to take back how you address me! I won't be a fool again!"
Her gaze was firm, and there were still some glistening tears on her face.
Ye Kang smiled and said, "That would be best. Thank you all for your care these past few days. Li Shen and I will take our leave now."
Ye Kang, holding the Carp God's hand, bowed and bid farewell to the Tang family.
Soon, the two returned to the Tyrant Whale Sect.
Along the way, many people cast curious glances at Ye Kang.
They had all heard Murong Zhantie's words, and were therefore very puzzled. What had Wang Yintai done to attract such hatred?
Ye Kang certainly wouldn't explain to them, and he didn't care at all about Murong Zhantie's threat.
You're chasing Wang Yintai, what does that have to do with me, Ye Kang?
However, this is a good time to get some rest.
The Tyrant Whale Sect covers a vast area, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and even sea views, making it a great place to visit.
Ye Kang calmed down and returned to his cave with the Carp God. He then summoned a servant boy to deliver food to the Carp God.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ye Kang and Li Shen climbed onto the roof, looking at the stars while sorting out their harvest over the past period.
Although they had only been in the Coral Islands for a short time, their cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds.
Ye Kang had previously felt that things were moving too fast, and that things would inevitably backfire if things went too far; sooner or later, problems would arise.
But when a crisis comes, you can't do without sufficient cultivation.
This dilemma of whether to pursue speed or stability has always troubled Ye Kang.
But now he's figured it out.
Don't overthink it.
Whether it's fast or steady, we'll take it one step at a time and get stronger if necessary.
If it weren't for this, I would have already died at Murong Ming's hands.
Now, there is only one way to completely get rid of Murong Zhantie's threat.
Become stronger!
Since there's only one way out no matter what, why bother agonizing over it?
Ye Kang's mind suddenly opened up, a gentle breeze caressed his face, and his cultivation level unknowingly became much more stable.
He took out two jade slips, one inscribed with the Azure Mystery Scripture and the other with the Jade Record.
It is a mysterious martial art that was plundered from Qingyan.
One of them is the family martial arts of the Helian family, a powerful clan in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Regardless of the specific branch, each one is fully qualified to be used as fusion material for its own ninth leaf.
He no longer needs to consider the choice between two options; instead, he will fuse with whichever refining material is easier to obtain.
After thinking it over, Ye Kang didn't rush and went to sleep first.
Day two.
While the Carp God was still sleeping in, Ye Kang had already dressed and arrived at a huge mountain peak shaped like a sea beast.
This is the main peak of the Tyrant Whale Sect.
A number of buildings, including the Headmaster's Hall and the Hall of Affairs, are located here.
Based on his memories from yesterday, Ye Kang arrived at an incomparably majestic hall.
"Disciple Wang Yintai requests an audience with Master Qi."
Ye Kang respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, and soon Qi Youshan came running out happily.
"Little Wang's here! Look, you're here, no need to be so polite, why did you bring anything... Oh, I didn't bring anything, come in, come in!"
