Chapter 328 Liu Haiyu

When the old man said this, his words stopped abruptly, and his two dry and dull eyes showed a little panic and vigilance. He looked around, as if he was worried about what he was going to say next, who might hear him.

Seeing this, Xu Yang knew how complicated the matter was and whispered: "Old man, please take a step to speak."

The three of them retreated to a quiet corner of the street.

Xu Yang secretly activated the method, and his spiritual consciousness turned into an invisible force and spread out like a big net, covering everything within a hundred feet of his spiritual consciousness.

After a spiritual inspection, no trace of other cultivators was found. But I found that people in the town didn't talk to each other very much, as if they were wary of each other. Moreover, the aura exuded by some of them seemed a bit manic, and their physiques were much stronger than others.

There is something strange about this small town.

After doing this, Xu Yang raised his right hand behind his back, and a red spiritual flame the size of a candle flame appeared on the tip of his little finger, which was transformed by A'Zhu's Nirvana Flame Spirit.

Then, under Xu Yang's urging, the Nirvana Spirit Flame turned into countless small fire breaths that could not be detected by the naked eye and dispersed into the surrounding void, quickly spreading a transparent layer around the three of them, blocking out other people's consciousness. and ear and eye protection.

If an outsider looks over, there is nothing here, not even Xu Yang, the old man and the child can be seen.

The old man was completely unaware of all this.

"Old man, you can continue talking now with confidence."

The old man looked around and saw no one around, the panic in his eyes dissipated, and then leaned sideways towards Xu Yang's ear.

He whispered: "Starting from this "Moonback Town", a hundred miles to the east, there is a legendary divine island. The sea area near the divine island is not only rich in fish resources, but also produces Dongzhu, which is as big as a child's fist. But the ancestors warned that there was a group of witches called the ancient witches living on the island, and they must not be provoked. However, due to livelihood constraints, three months ago, with the discussion of many young fishermen in the town, they formed a group. A fishing fleet of more than 60 people went to the waters of Nashen Island to fish. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the Wu tribe on Nashen Island. More than 60 people were detained. Only one person managed to escape and floated with a piece of wood. Came back. But he died of his injuries three days after returning to town.”

"Why--"

At this point, the old man sighed softly, tears flashing in his dry eyes.

"My son, the father of this child, is among the more than 60 people. His life and death are still unknown." The old man's trembling voice made the listeners sigh in their hearts.

After speaking, the old man wiped his tears with his old and tattered cuffs.

When the child saw his grandpa crying, his eyes turned red. He pulled the corner of the old man's clothes with his little hands and murmured, "If grandpa doesn't cry, is there still a small stool?"

The old man stroked the child's head with his hand, a trace of relief showing on his face.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, the old man continued: "What's even more frightening is that not long after, the Wu tribe on the island came to this town. It was said that the fishermen sent by the town disturbed their gods. Of the more than 60 people on the island, three will be killed every ten days to sacrifice to the gods to appease the gods' anger. If anyone else breaks into the island, they will be killed without mercy. I don't know what means were used to make some people in this town loyal to them, and let these people gain the brute force of the Wu clan. Anyone who speaks ill of the Wu clan behind their back will be arrested by those who are loyal to the Wu clan. Bind them and throw them into the sea.”

"I see, but as far as I know, although this place is remote, it is the territory of the Tiangui Sect, the largest ghost sect in Zhongyuan Continent. Didn't the people from the Tiangui Sect intervene in this matter?" Xu Yang asked.

"It is precisely because this is the territory of the Tiangui Sect. For many years, the wizards on the island have not interacted with the residents of the town and have lived in peace and harmony. In fact, the Tiangui Sect has only one person in this town. When the deacon disciple named "Li Zhi" came to the town, Li Zhi intervened. After a disagreement, the Wu tribe beat Li Zhi seriously and kidnapped him back to the island. , If anyone spreads this matter, everyone in the town will be killed."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Yang frowned.

"Old man, I have something here. Do you think you can recognize it?"

As the old man spoke, he took out a small object wrapped in a piece of black cloth from his arms. Then, he carefully unfolded the black cloth, revealing a dark wooden sign about the size of an inch. On the wooden sign was engraved a big ghost with two wings on its back.

Xu Yang took the wooden sign and examined it in his hand. There were several complicated runes engraved on the back of the wooden sign. With just a glance, he recognized the hidden message on the rune as "Li Zhi, a disciple of Tiangui Sect".

"This is an identity token exclusive to disciples of the Tiangui Sect. Why do you have this, old man?"

"To be honest, the Gui Sect disciple "Li Zhi" and Lao Chan have been neighbors for many years that day. Before the accident, he gave this thing to me. He told me that if something happened to him, the Tian Gui Sect would definitely send someone here to check. Three Within ten feet, as long as a disciple of the Tiangui Sect approaches, the token will automatically sense it and emit a certain amount of heat. As long as you find someone from the Tiangui Sect and tell the truth, you will have a chance to rescue the captives of the God Island Witch Clan. Go away. I kept this thing close to my heart and wandered around this town in the name of begging, just to wait for someone from the Tiangui Sect. By chance, I met the young master on the street, and this token started to appear. I felt a fever in my heart. So, old man, I took the liberty to stop the young master from begging. I guess the young master must be a disciple sent by the Tiangui Sect."

"To be honest, I am the person sent by the Heavenly Ghost Sect to investigate this matter."

"Finally, I have waited for you, young master." The old man's voice was a little trembling.

The old man looked around Xu Yang and asked in disappointment, "Are you alone?"

"How can you be alone? I am still here." The voice of Guigu Yeyan came from the ghost wood waist pendant hung on Xu Yang's waist, but it was not loud.

"Who is it? It seems that someone is talking?" The old man was surprised.

"Nothing, old man, do you think I am alone and can't do anything to those Wu people? Please rest assured, I will first find a way to rescue the fishermen who were kidnapped by those Wu people."

The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, "I believe you, young master, but you are alone and weak, and there are many Wu people on the God Island, so you'd better be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder, old man."

After speaking, Xu Yang stretched out his right hand and made a move in the air, and a fist-sized bluestone on the roadside flew into his palm.

As a red spiritual flame ignited, the stone turned into ashes with a crackling sound.

This scene immediately surprised the old man and the child beside him.

"Thank you for taking the risk to tell me the truth. I will accept this token for the time being. Goodbye."

After that, Xu Yang put away the identity token, clasped his fists slightly, and then turned and left.

The old man looked at Xu Yang's departing back and said to the child next to him: "Little Stool, if your father is still alive, maybe he can really be saved."

"It's a fairy technique. I want to learn it too, so that we can go to save my father together." The child said excitedly.

"Hush--" The old man stretched out his hand and gently covered the child's mouth, making a gesture to silence him.

The child stared with a pair of innocent big eyes, watching Xu Yang's back disappear into the street.

......

After separating from the old man, Xu Yang took the identity card left by "Li Zhi" and found the residence of "Li Zhi". The door was smashed, the house was in a mess, and there was no shadow of a person.

He secretly checked several residents in the town. These people had special spells placed in their bodies, making their bodies violent and strong. But for Xu Yang, these were just very low-level means. In order not to alert the enemy, he did not remove the spells from these people.

"It seems that what the old man said is true. Master, do you know the situation of the God Island?" Xu Yang said in a voice transmission.

"Of course I know. The God Island a hundred miles east of here is the "Pig Spirit Island", where a group of witches who worship the sea spirit live. It was there that I met "Hai Yue'er", who was also one of those witches. But I don't know what the "Pig Spirit Island" has become after so many years." Guigu Yeyan's voice transmission came from the waist pendant.

......

Ten days ago.

A young talent came outside Yuanbei Town.

This man has a handsome appearance, a tall figure, and eyes like stars. He looks like he is in his early twenties. His hair was simply tied behind his head, and he was wearing a water blue gown with wide sleeves. When he walked, his sleeves fluttered, giving him a Taoist style.

The young man in blue stopped at the entrance of "Yuanbei Town".

"It's a mortal town, so I'd better go around it. It's better to stay away from the mundane world if you want to be free in the heart of Taoism." He said to himself.

After bypassing the town, the young man in blue saw the endless sea from afar, and then walked straight towards the sea.

Strangely, his graceful figure walked on the beach without leaving a footprint, and there was no sand on his shoes.

He came to the beach, took a step, and his figure was as graceful as a leaping fish. He stopped on the water, and the waves pushed up naturally bypassed his feet without getting them wet.

The sea breeze blew up his blue gown. The rhythm of the long gown flying and undulating was surprisingly consistent with the surging waves in front of him, as if he was a wave at this moment, and had already merged with the sea.

He raised his hands and formed a Taoist seal in front of him.

I saw a flash of blue light in the seal, and a ball of water-blue spiritual light appeared. He raised his hand, and the spiritual light twisted and turned into a blue fish about a foot long and jumped into the water.

"Puff".

Under the sea surface, a straight blue line swam quickly towards the depths of the sea until it disappeared in the sea-sky line.

After doing all this, the blue-shirted young man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes closed, and remained motionless, as if waiting for something.

It took a full stick of incense.

The blue-shirted young man's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a blue spiritual light flickered in his eyes. In just a moment, the blue disappeared without a trace, and his original black pupils returned.

"Sure enough, the place with abundant water spirit power is on an island deep in the sea." The blue-shirted young man whispered.

Then, a smile appeared on his face. That smile was not frivolous at all, it was as calm as water and as silent as clouds, but it was impressive.

"East China Sea, I, Liu Haiyu, am here." The blue-shirted young man said loudly.

The voice echoed on the sea surface and finally disappeared in the endless sound of the waves.
