Both Zheng-Fu and the young man were already on board before the young man ordered his underling to set sail. It was not long after that the ship began to move away from the port.
"Master Hai-Dong, I've already dealt with the matter you have commanded, sir!" suddenly, the middle-aged man that Hai-Dong had commanded earlier walked in and reported the results of his task to the young man.
"Thank you!" The young man simply turned around and gave a friendly smile to the middle-aged man before turning to look at Zheng-Fu and saying, "I'll take you to your room, and we'll meet here again at dusk." Then he walked ahead of Zheng-Fu.
"Yeah..."
Zheng-Fu only let out a short sound and followed him. But before he left that point, he turned to look at the middle-aged man who was still standing with a smile, with which Zheng-Fu could feel bad things floating around in an instant.
"It's not easy for an evil serpent to pretend to be a docile animal that looks innocuous!" Before walking away, Zheng-Fu said in a low voice but loud enough to make the middle-aged man hear what he was saying clearly.
Huh...?
"What did you just say, brother?" Hai-Dong, who was a little further away, heard it too, but it was not very clear, so he turned around and asked Zheng-Fu.
"Nothing, the most handsome brother. I'm just delighted to be on this wonderful ship. Don't mind it!"
"Is that so? Ha ha ha!"
Both Zheng-Fu and Hai-Dong walked away with laughter and happiness; only the middle-aged man had a grim expression on his face. His forehead was filled with beads of sweat after hearing Zheng-Fu's words just now.
'Who is that crazy kid? Does he know what I'm going to do, that he spoke out like that? Or Hai-Dong may also know... No, no way! It's not possible. But why is that boy speaking like that?' The middle-aged man had a question in his head and tried to think of all the possibilities but could not figure it out.
But no matter what, he had to complete his plan. He had spent five full years following this young man until he trusted him just because he wanted to rob this ship. He was one of the members of the most famous pirate gang right now, the Frenzied Shark Pirates.
The Frenzied Shark Pirates had approximately twenty thousand members. They were all martial artists who were extremely ruthless, lustful, and violent, especially their big boss, whose alias was the Frenzied Shark, who was a martial master at the high-level Immortal Soul stage.
He had never belonged to any sect or cult before. But his energy level was this high because he had been plundering merchants and martial artists for decades until he obtained a lot of treasures, including Qi energy stones to use in cultivating energy and also a lot of martial techniques to practice.
But all of that would not be possible for him to get to this point if he had not discovered the magical treasures under the sea many years ago. Those treasures were the two Immortal Soul stage Qi energy pearls that contained a large amount of pure Qi energy, ten times more than the ordinary Immortal Qi energy stone.
And when he had completely absorbed the energy from within the two pearls, he became a martial master at this level.
Therefore, his pirate group had become very famous pirates now. There were even several large clans joined to set up a large number of bounties for those who could kill them. Then who would be able to do it except the great martial masters of the big sects?
But, would those people go out and deal with them? Not at all. Those valiant cultivators tended to keep cultivating energy within the sect only. Because every moment was very valuable for increasing the energy level, no one came out to deal with them.
Not long after Zheng-Fu arrived at the room that the young man had set up for him, he immediately rushed inside and pretended to arrange the belongings that he had brought with him. But in reality, Zheng-Fu was drawing a spelled pattern on the floor of this room. This spell was the Delude Dimensional Space spell, which was made to conceal the truth within the room.
"Alright, that's all for now."
Once everything was settled, Zheng-Fu walked out of his room as usual. The outside of the room was guarded by two men. When the two of them saw Zheng-Fu coming out, they did not say anything, just stood there indifferently.
As for Zheng-Fu, he did not want to pay attention to the two men either, so he walked toward the place where the young man had made an appointment with him. But just as he was about to leave, one of the men standing guard was moving his leg out to block Zheng-Fu's legs to make him fall.
Crash!!!
Ouch!!!
"My leg!!! My leg!!!"
But it turned out that the man's leg could not block Zheng-Fu's legs. And when it was struck by Zheng-Fu's toe, an indescribable pain suddenly appeared, causing him to cry out loudly. He hurriedly lifted his leg to hold them and prepared to curse.
However, he felt the intense psychic killing pressing against him, unable to move or do anything. This psychic killing was released by Zheng-Fu himself.
"Brother, what's wrong with you to suddenly cry out loudly?" Zheng-Fu, who had let out a murderous intent pressing against the man just now, asked, smiling at the man.
"I'm... I'm... I'm fine. Thank you very much, Young Master!!!" the man immediately replied that he was fine, even though he was hurting so much that he wanted to cry out loud.
The other man standing next to him was extremely pale because he, too, could feel the creepy psychic killing. His instincts said that this child was extremely dangerous. If he did not want to die, he should have kept his mouth shut, so he only tried to stand still.
"That's good then... I'll go first. See you!" After saying that, Zheng-Fu turned around and walked away without saying another word.
Phew!!!
"What was that creepy feeling just now? It's crazy scary... By the way, how are you?" After Zheng-Fu left, another man said nothing, turning to look at his friend, who was holding his leg in pain.
"Do you have to ask? It badly hurts! Damn, is that a leg or an iron rod? Why is it so strong? That boy must be a martial artist for sure. I have to hurry and report to Chief..."
Slash!!! Slash!!!
But before the man with his painful leg could finish speaking, two daggers suddenly flew into both of their throats, and they died unknowingly, along with a figure that appeared out of the darkness.
"You guys don't have to tell me about this; I already know… If you tell me, then my plans are ruined, you idiot!" The figure that appeared was a middle-aged man belonging to the Frenzied Shark Pirates.
On the deck of the ship...
"Oh… brother, have you come? Come on, this handsome brother is waiting for you!" as soon as he saw Zheng-Fu coming out of the bilge, he immediately greeted and beckoned.
"Wait for me? Why?" Zheng-Fu pretended to be confused and pointed at himself.
"Nothing. I just thought you might like this view because Blueland probably doesn't have such a view, so I had someone summon you!" said the young man, pointing to the sea in front of them. There were rocky hills emerging slightly above the water, lined up in large numbers.
If looking closely, one could see that these hills were arranged in a shape that looked very much like a dragon but was not so clear because some of the hills were missing, and some were under the sea.
"This place has a tale that it used to be a portal to the Ancient Aqua Dragon Kingdom, which was the entrance and exit of that kingdom. This has been going on for many ten thousand years, but even so, everyone still believes that it really is the entrance to that kingdom, but no one has been able to prove it."
"But it has been a long time, and no one has yet found that entrance. So, doesn't it mean that the entrance to the Ancient Aqua Dragon Kingdom does not really exist?" Zheng-Fu asked curiously.
"It's true, as you said. But two years ago, a horn and the Aqua Dragon's scales were found in this area, so that tale regained the attention of the people. And today, there are still people exploring there in search of the entrance or other valuables."
"Hmm... What an interesting tale! I'm just an unfortunate, underprivileged person who doesn't have the opportunity to see these things. I have to thank the most handsome and kindest elder brother for letting someone like me experience these good things, and to repay your kindness, I have something to tell you as well."
"You have something to tell me?" The young man was slightly dazed when he heard what Zheng-Fu said.
"The thing I want to tell you is that there…"
"Master Hai-Dong!"
But before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking, the middle-aged man's voice behind them rang loudly, causing the young man to turn around and look suspiciously at him. Then the middle-aged man continued, "Master Hai-Dong, in front of us, a huge storm is expected to move towards us soon, sir!" said the middle-aged man, pointing toward the dark sky.
Huh...?
The young man and Zheng-Fu both turned to look in the direction the middle-aged man was pointing and found that in that direction, black clouds covered the entire sky, as the middle-aged man had said. But Zheng-Fu did not think so, as he knew that they were not natural storm clouds but something that was created by man.
'Huh! The tail finally emerges!?' Zheng-Fu thought to himself, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth before he said, "Handsome brother, that storm looks like a very dangerous storm. But you don't have to worry. I have a good thing that can help dispel that storm.
Take it," When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he reached inside his robe before taking out a sheet of talisman and handing it to Hai-Dong.
Huh...?
"Thi... this... this is…"
As soon as the young man took the talisman from Zheng-Fu, his face immediately changed in shock. He was unable to say anything except stare alternately between Zheng-Fu and the talisman in his hand.
