Chapter 116: Not Showing Off Can Kill You

  "Ugh......" Liu Wu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his hand covering his chest as he sat paralyzed on the ground, with wisps of green smoke rising from his body, his robust physique slowly returning to its original state.

  Mu Zhaoxue lightly shook her wrist, and the white gauze wrapped around her arm was like a long snake coming out of its hole, quickly wrapping Liu Wu from head to toe.

  Yefeng clapped his hands and laughed: "Beautiful sister, you're indeed extraordinary! With just a flicker of your eyes, you've taken care of this guy. I'm truly impressed!"

  Mu Zhaoxue pointed and said with a smile: "Hurry up and put him in the cauldron, lest he runs away again."

  Ye Feng urged the Qiji Gate Eight Trigrams Cauldron, Mu Zhaoxue pointed with one finger, and a white silk handkerchief rolled up Liu Wus' "whoosh" sound flew into the cauldron.

  A commotion came from the cabin, and Ma Hengxin arrived on deck with two attendants. He happened to see Ye Feng putting away the Qimen Bagua Ding into his body, and his expression changed as he exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Ye to have such a magical treasure, no wonder you're a disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect."

  Ye Feng glanced at Ma Hengxin and thought to himself: Nonsense, my Qimen Bagua Ding is naturally a hundred times better than your broken Pi Xie Dan, do I need your flattery?

  "Master Ma is resting well in his cabin, what brings you up on the deck?" Mu Zhaoxue asked with a expressionless face.

  "Just now, I suddenly felt dizzy in the cabin and heard a loud thunderclap. I thought the ship had encountered a storm, so I rushed up to take a look." Ma Hengxin looked around and said, "But I see that the sea is calm and peaceful, not a drop of rain, what happened just now?"

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "Just now was just me stimulating the vibration produced by Fang Ding in my body, you don't have to worry, it's still far from Jin Nu Dao, go back and rest."

  "That's good." Ma Hengxin said with his hands behind his back: "This sea is full of monsters, and it's said that the infamous 108 Great Thieves also frequently appear in these waters. Miss Mu should be careful."

  Mu Zhaoxue's eyebrows rose as she smiled and said: "You also know about these one hundred and eight great thieves?"

  "It's not just that I know, but this young master once met one of the 108 great thieves on the sea and chased him away in the blink of an eye. At that time, I had something to attend to, so I didn't pursue him. Otherwise, there would only be 107 great thieves now."

  Can't you die without blowing? Ye Feng chuckled and shook his head.

  Ma Hengxin smiled and glanced at Mu Zhaoyue, saying: "Miss Mu doesn't need to worry, I'm willing to be the hero who saves the beauty. If you encounter any danger, just come find me."

  "It seems like a bear saving a beauty, which is just about right." Ye Feng said in a low voice, hugging his shoulders.

  Ma Hengxin glanced at Ye Feng and bowed his fist to Mu Zhaoxue, saying: "I still have something to do, I'll go back to the cabin first, goodbye."

  In the cabin, under the dim and flickering oil lamp, three figures were swaying.

  "Young master, don't let your desire for women distract you from what's important!"

  Ma Hengxin narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "Does this still need to be said by you? Do you think I only approached Mu Zhaoyue because of her beauty? You're all a bunch of pig brains, no wonder you'll be servants for the rest of your lives."

  "Could it be that you have other plans, young master?"

  Ma Hengxin sneered: "Hmph, with my 'Tianying Shenmu' observation, Mu Zhaoxue's cultivation is at least above the Soul Ignition stage. Her strength must be higher than ours. If we can lure Mu Zhaoxue to the battlefield of Jue Ri and let her get rid of 'Gui Shui Huang Wan', then you and I will reap the benefits."

  A follower laughed: "The young master's intention is clear, it's to lure Mu Zhaoye into a fight with 'Gui Shui Huang Wan', and when both sides are exhausted, we can take action. At that time, 'Gui Shui Dan' and Mu Zhaoye will both be the young master's, the young master's move of sitting on a mountain watching tigers fight is truly wonderful, I admire it!"

  Another attendant also followed and echoed: "Since the young master knew the hiding place of Gui Shui Huang Wan, he has been unable to eat or sleep, preparing for a long time. Today, he can finally take the opportunity to go to Jin Nu Island to rescue people and borrow someone's hand to destroy 'Gui Shui Huang Wan' on his way to the Absolute Day Battlefield. Not only can he get the heavy reward of Ling Xū Sword Sect, but also obtain Gui Shui Dan, and capture an absolute beauty, it's really a case of killing three birds with one stone, haha..."

  Ma Hengxin didn't smile, instead he said with a serious face: "Originally it was planned that way, but now it seems that Mu Zhaoyue has another troublesome guy by her side."

  "Although the young master said so, but isn't it that little brat with the surname Ye?"

  "It's exactly that." Ma Hengxin narrowed his two small eyes and said: "In my opinion, that kid is only at the Golden Body stage of cultivation, but he has merged with a strange object like the Qimen Bagua Ding in his body. Moreover, he also carries more than a dozen Dao soldiers with him! As far as I know, only outstanding true disciples of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect will receive such rewards. How can that kid surnamed Ye be a disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect's number one or two, when he is only at the Golden Body stage of cultivation?"

  "A follower whispered: 'Young master, don't worry, that Leaf kid is only at the Golden Body stage, and he's not much of a threat to us.'"

  Ma Hengxin shook his head and said slyly, "In my opinion, that kid is absolutely not ordinary. He looks extraordinary, like someone who has seen the world, and he actually has a rare treasure like Qimen Bagua Ding on him. Maybe he's a hidden master!"

  "Master? Cultivation of the Golden Body period? Could it be that Young Master's Heavenly Eagle Divine Eyes have made a mistake?"

  "Fart," Ma Hengxin slammed the table and roared: "From the immortals who have ascended to the heavens, to the ants crawling on the ground, as long as I use my Tianying divine eyes to take a glance, I will immediately know what kind of cultivation it is. There has never been any mistake."

  "Yes, yes, yes...... It's a small mistake that blinded Dog Eye, misjudged the heavenly eagle eyes of the young master, and Small is going to die..."

  Ma Hengxin's eyes exuded a murderous aura, and he narrowed his eyes, saying: "No matter what this kid's background is, find an appropriate opportunity to get rid of him..."

  "Ah-choo..." Ye Feng let out a sneeze and rubbed his nose, jokingly saying: "Who's scolding me?"

  "Isn't the sea breeze a bit cool?" Mu Zhaoxue asked with concern: "Let's go back to the cabin."

  The vast ocean, the azure water sparkles with scales of light, under the sunset's rays, a golden glow spreads across the surface. A white sail, like a pure white feather, floats gently on the glittering sea, shining brightly. This harmonious scene of sea and sky, even a master artist would find it hard to depict.

  Time flies like an arrow, and it's gone in a flash, without realizing it, several dawns and dusks have passed.

  In the cabin, Ye Feng and Mu Zhaoxue were sitting on the floor meditating face to face when they suddenly heard a hurried knock at the door. Ye Feng stood up and opened the cabin door, and one of Ma Hengxin's servants bowed respectfully outside the door and said: "The young master invites the two of you to go up to the deck for a moment."

  Ye Feng furrowed his brow as he came up to the deck, having been cultivating in the cramped and dim cabin for days. Suddenly coming outside, the strong sunlight at noon pierced his eyes, making them ache.

  Mu Zhaoxue asked expressionlessly: "What does Mr. Ma want from us?"

  Ma Hengxin, who had been waiting on the deck for a long time, pointed to a small island that was faintly visible in the distance and exclaimed excitedly: "Look, that's Jin Nu Island. We've finally arrived."

  Ye Feng followed Ma Hengxin's pointing direction, and on the glittering golden sea surface, a small island could be vaguely seen in the distance. Far away, the island was lush with dense green vegetation covering it.

  Mu Zhaoxue raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that all? I've already calculated it, at our speed we'll arrive at Jin Nu Island by noon today. I thought Master Ma had something important to discuss with us."

  Ye Feng secretly smiled to himself: It's deserved. He had originally wanted to show off his knowledge of the nearby sea in front of the beauty, pretending to be an intellectual, but unexpectedly she didn't fall for it and instead he ended up losing face.

  Ma Hengxin smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it turns out that Mu Niang has some understanding of the various islands on the sea, no wonder she's from the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect, truly a seasoned traveler who has seen much and knows widely!"

  Mu Zhaoxue still expressionless said: "This sea I have been to many times, let alone Jin Nu Island such a famous place far and near, how could I not know?"

  The boat was getting closer and closer to Jin Nu Island, and Ye Feng could clearly see that there were more than a dozen people standing on the shore, wearing uniform green robes, standing on the dock and gazing out at the sea.

  As soon as the boat docked, Ma Hengxin took out a folding fan and walked down from the boat with his head held high and his chest out. More than a dozen men in green clothes immediately surrounded him, and one of them, who appeared to be the leader, cupped his hands and asked: "Is this the young master of the Danyang Alliance?"

  Ma Hengxin fanned himself with an arrogant expression, and a follower behind him replied seriously: "That's right, I heard that the thousand-golden Miss Zhao, the leader of the sect, was poisoned by Danmo, and Master Ma has come for this matter."

  A dozen or so young disciples in green robes hastily bowed their heads and the leader cupped his hands and said: "Originally, Zhao Shifu was going to come and welcome Master Ma personally, but because of Miss's matter, he couldn't get away, so he ordered us to come and welcome Master Ma specially. We have been waiting for a long time, please come this way, Master Ma."

  Ma Hengxin walked into the island surrounded by more than a dozen people, and turned his head to glance at Ye Feng, with an expression that seemed to say: Kid, did you see that? My background is not something you can compare to.

  Ye Feng smiled disdainfully and followed Mu Zhaoxue closely.

  The island's green vegetation is dense and lush, the further in you go, the more it feels like walking into a primitive forest. Towering ancient trees stand one after another, their dense branches and leaves blocking out most of the sunlight, making you feel exceptionally cool all over your body as you walk through them.

  Before long, a group of more than ten young disciples in green robes arrived at the front yard of the Lingxu Sword Sect, led by several people. There were already forty or fifty people gathered in the yard, including men and women, who came from various sects from all over the world, judging from their clothes and attire.

  The leading green-clad disciple bowed his hands to Ma Heng and said, "Young Master Ma, please wait for a moment, I'll go to the main hall to report." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into a tightly closed large gate.
