Duan Gujin, the Spirit Binder, steered the fishing boat into the open sea, heading towards the direction where a column of light had appeared.

On his way, he saw six large ships also moving toward the direction where the column of light had appeared.

"That's the flag of the Holy Land!"

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, and after a while, he could clearly see that the flags on the six large ships belonged to the Holy Land.

At first, he was somewhat doubtful whether the six large ships he was seeing were really from the Holy Land.

After a while, he noticed that each of the six large ships was protected by an Advanced Defensive Magic Array.

"In this world, only the people from the Holy Land are the most adept at setting up Arrays, and the level of the Arrays they set up is very high. Only people from the Holy Land could have set up such an advanced Defensive Magic Array!"

From the Advanced Defensive Magic Arrays deployed by those six large ships, Duan Gujin concluded that they must belong to the Holy Land.

"It seems that the Holy Land has also noticed the appearance of the strange light column here!"

Duan Gujin exhaled, although his Spirit Binder's fishing boat, infused with Primordial Power, was much faster than ordinary fishing boats, it couldn't compare to those six large ships.

He initially wanted to speed up and rush ahead, but on second thought, he felt that it would not be good to reveal his strength in front of the Holy Land.

He didn't want the people from the Holy Land to misunderstand him; if they took his actions as an intentional provocation, the consequences would be too severe for him.

A quarter of an hour later, the six large ships disappeared from Duan Gujin's line of sight.

Watching the six large ships vanish before his eyes, Duan Gujin sighed.

"All I can do now is to head towards the place where the strange light appeared!"

Previously, Lie Lei told Duan Gujin that there had been an anomaly in the East Sea, and many experts had been sent to investigate.

"Lie Lei said that the column of light would vanish, and his subordinates do not know why it would disappear without a trace!"

Time passed bit by bit, and Duan Gujin piloted the fishing boat towards the light column for two hours.

But even now, all he saw was a very dazzling light column ahead, and he did not feel like it was getting any closer.

"My God! What's going on here? Is it an illusion?"

Duan Gujin stopped and pulled out the Evil Eye from his storage ring; he wanted to use the power of the Evil Eye to see exactly what was going on ahead.

However, after a while, he frowned deeply when he realized that the scene he saw with the Evil Eye was exactly the same as when he didn't use it.

"Could it be an illusion?"

Suddenly, the column of light on the sea surface disappeared abruptly, vanishing without a trace.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"My God! What's going on here? Did the column of light sink?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he thought quickly, considering why the column of light had disappeared inexplicably.

"Could it be that someone deliberately released it?"

This was the first possibility he thought of.

After pondering for a while, he felt that this was a very reasonable assumption.

But he couldn't understand why someone would do such a thing.

Releasing a column of light in the open sea indicated one thing: that the treasure in possession was extraordinary. At least, Lie Lei had told Duan Gujin that there was no similar record in all the Classics of the Green Cloud Sect.

Since there was no similar record in the Classics of the Green Cloud Sect, it meant that the object emitting the light column was extraordinary.

Duan Gujin, having visited other continents in his last life, had much broader knowledge than the Green Cloud Sect, and he knew that there were indeed records of light columns on other continents.

In those Classics, anything capable of emitting a column of light reaching the heaven was regarded as a Treasure.

There were many kinds of treasures like this, such as a special kind of Luminous Pearl or some sort of Teleportation Array.

Regardless of which possibility, anything that could project a column of light from the ground to the sky and pierce through the clouds was definitely not an ordinary Dark Weapon.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath with flickering eyes, contemplating whether or not to continue forward.

After all, Lie Lei had told him that the light column would disappear without reason.

He wondered, if the light column disappeared under the sea, what then?

In any case, his experience on other continents in his previous life told him that in this world, there are many unexpected treasures, and any possibility exists.

Just as he was about to turn back, all of a sudden, his Divine Sense Inspection detected a large amount of wreckage about thirty kilometers away from his current position.

The wreckage should be from large ships, and there was a surprisingly large quantity of it.

Duan Gujin gasped, his expression shifting slightly, and then he decided to quickly steer the fishing boat towards it.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the side of the wreckage.

He extended his Divine Sense, searching carefully for a while, and found that besides the large amount of wreckage, there were no bodies.

He checked the wrecks and discovered that they were indeed the remnants of large ships.

After searching, he found a damaged flag of the Holy Land on one of the pieces of wreckage.

He inhaled sharply, immediately reminded of the Holy Land's large ships he had seen before.

"My God! Could it be that all the people of the Holy Land are gone?"

The thought terrified him.

He was very clear about the strength of the Holy Land; he believed that the people aboard those six large ships must have been the strong ones from the Holy Land.

He imagined the scene: it was very likely that the people of the Holy Land were ambushed by the owner of the column of light, resulting in the complete destruction of the Holy Land's ships, and the people of the Holy Land must have been slaughtered.

Considering this possibility, he frowned deeply, hastily looking around with his Divine Sense.

After a while, he didn't find any danger nearby.

With a thought, he dived into the wreckage; he wanted to find some bodies of the Holy Land's powerful beings.

However, to his disappointment, he found no bodies of the Holy Land's strong ones.

"What's going on here? Even if the people of the Holy Land are dead, there should be their bodies here, right?"

Duan Gujin picked up the wreckage, storing the pieces in his storage ring; he wanted to find the cause of the Holy Land's people's tragic deaths.

A quarter of an hour later, he had collected all the wreckage floating on the sea and stored it in his storage ring.

Afterward, he quickly piloted the fishing boat away from the area, returning towards the shore.

Back at the shore, he laid out all the pieces of the wrecked ships.

This time, he had enough time to investigate what exactly had caused the destruction of those ships.

An hour later, from some of the remaining marks on the wreckage, he deduced that the ships must have been destroyed by a very powerful force in an instant.
