Chapter 370 Undercurrent
Two black vines as thick as two fingers, like gold and iron, one entangled the green-robed monk, and the other tightly strangled his neck.
Wu Yan stood out, his long hair dancing in the wind, with a sneer on his face. His left hand was slightly raised, and his index finger pointed upwards diagonally. Two vine tendrils grew out of thin air on his index finger, and now entangled the green-robed monk and grabbed him to a height less than three feet away from Wu Yan.
The green-robed monk who came down from the "Hunting Sea Divine Ship" was one of the senior sea-hunting law enforcement masters of the Sea-hunting City. At this time, he was like a dead dog entangled by vine tendrils into a zongzi shape, and his breath was dying. Not to mention resisting, I'm afraid he couldn't even move.
Wu Yan's move was too fast, and no one saw clearly what was going on, and it became like this.
This change made the other green-robed monk and Ni Quan below change their faces. The guards behind Wu Yan had different expressions. The twenty-three guards who had been following him had calm expressions, as if they were not surprised at all that their master could easily subdue a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan. The other five guards who were recruited with spirit stones were overjoyed.
"Stop!" A clear shout came from the "Hunting Sea Divine Ship", and then a figure flashed and appeared beside the hanging ladder above Wu Yan.
Wu Yan glanced at the man in front of him calmly. He was wearing a light fur coat, a tall hat and a wide belt, and his face was like a jade crown. This was the first time Wu Yan had met such a handsome and elegant cultivator. A man who can make the men who see him not feel any jealousy is either too ugly or too handsome. The man in front of him obviously belongs to the latter.
However, Wu Yan was only surprised by his appearance for a moment, and more attention was focused on his cultivation and temperament.
At the state of great perfection in the late stage of Jindan, the whole person exudes a noble taste of being out of touch with the world, as if no one else matters to him. However, this kind of nobility is not artificial, but noble from the bones.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, let me introduce you. This is Deputy City Lord Liu Qingyun, one of the four deputy city lords of Liehai City. Deputy City Lord Liu is also the nephew of the current leader of Tiandao Sect, a noble man from the Liu family, and the chief sea hunter of our Sea Hunting Alliance. All monks who sign up for the competition must receive sea hunting training from Deputy City Lord Liu. Don't be rude!" Ni Quan was afraid that Wu Yan would annoy the person in front of him, so he hurriedly introduced the person in front of him to Wu Yan, but he glanced at the green-robed monk who was restrained by Wu Yan.
Obviously, Wu Yan's move was beyond his expectations, and made him secretly excited. To be honest, seeing Wu Yan so easily subdued a senior sea hunting law enforcement master, he firmly believed that Wu Yan was a master in the Nascent Soul stage.
It is not easy to be a sea hunting law enforcer in the sea hunting city, especially a senior law enforcer in the Jindan stage. These people all have rich combat experience. Unfortunately, such a person is like a paper straw man in front of Wu Yan, and he was subdued without even the strength to resist.
"Deputy City Lord Liu, this is Wu Yan, a fellow Daoist from the 'Announcement Team' who is in the sequence of the Sea Hunting Palace in the Shenmu Island Sea Area and participated in the competition for the Sea Hunting Order of the Intermediate Island Lord. I am afraid there are some misunderstandings about this matter. I hope that Deputy City Lord Liu can give an explanation to Daoist Wu about this matter. Ni and Daoist Wu have been friends for a long time, and I know Daoist Wu's temperament very well. He is definitely not the kind of unreasonable person." After Ni Quan introduced the handsome young man to Wu Yan, he turned around and introduced Wu Yan to this person.
"Get lost!" Wu Yan sneered, raised his hand to throw the dying green robe monk out, and put away the black vine in his hand.
The clone of the black dragon demon vine, which has advanced to level 5, fully revealed the power of the mutated demon vine under the control of Wu Yan's pure blood evil magic energy.
Whether in terms of speed or toughness, this mutated demon vine is no worse than the top-level magic treasure.
"Tanaka, who gave you the courage to drive the intermediate team to the bottom cabin privately?" Liu Qingyun asked with a hint of anger on his face, staring at the green-robed monk who had recovered his breath, and asked in a cold tone.
The senior sea hunting law enforcer named Tanaka, who was questioned by Liu Qingyun, had glared at Wu Yan fiercely, but when Liu Qingyun asked him, his face changed immediately, and he said in a panic: "My lord, I know my mistake! Please forgive my dereliction of duty this time for my loyalty in the past!"
"Who is it?" Liu Qingyun stared at Tanaka fiercely and asked again.
A chilling spiritual power suddenly emanated from Liu Qingyun and approached Tanaka.
Tanaka's head was covered with cold sweat and his face was full of horror. Based on his understanding of Liu Qingyun, Liu Qingyun was obviously really angry.
"It was the great elder Shi Xiang of Xumi Sect who told me to reserve seven first-class cabins for them when I came. Now there are only six first-class cabins, so I let this person go to the bottom cabin." Tanaka explained to Liu Qingyun. In his words, he seemed to regain his confidence because of the mention of Xumi Sect. After speaking, he stared at Wu Yan viciously.
"Sumeru Sect? Humph, you are so bold! Tanaka, are you a law enforcer of the Sea Hunting Alliance, or a servant of the Sumeru Sect? You have violated the rules of the Sea Hunting City. From today on, you are no longer a senior Sea Hunting Law Enforcement Master of the Sea Hunting City. You, go!" What Tanaka did not expect was that upon hearing the name of the Sumeru Sect, Liu Qingyun suddenly became furious, scolded him mercilessly, and then expelled him from the Sea Hunting City.
"You!? Why do you drive me away?" Tian Zhong looked shocked and angry when he heard this, and looked at Liu Qingyun with a hoarse voice and hissed.
"Our Sea Hunting Alliance is composed of four major families, eight middle families, and thirty-six islands. It is not under the jurisdiction of any sect. Within the alliance, it is strictly forbidden for any disciple to have the slightest connection with the four major sects. You are actually because of the Xumi Sect? The elder's words mean that you are going to treat the disciples who are about to become my Sea Hunting Alliance. Shouldn't I drive you away? Humph, I'm being extra merciful by not killing you on the spot. Go away, I don't want to see it! Let a servile person like you stay in the Sea Hunting Alliance!" Liu Qingyun showed no mercy. After refuting Tanaka righteously, he immediately drove him away without mercy.
"Okay, okay! I'm leaving! Deputy City Lord Liu, you are so majestic. I don't believe it. When I arrived at Jamfu Island and saw the Great Elder Shixiang, you could still talk like this! That dog thief named Wu, please tell me Look, today’s humiliation will be repaid tenfold tomorrow!”
Tanaka's face changed several times, he sneered and said harsh words again and again, and without looking back, he turned into a ray of blue light and headed towards the east of Yanfu Island.
Wu Yan stared at the escaping light transformed into Tanaka with an expressionless face, but his eyes became uncertain. This change was obviously beyond his expectation.
He never expected that the Sea Hunting Alliance would have such a bad relationship with the four major sects.
"Wu Yan, you are rude to the senior Sea Hunter law enforcer of our alliance. I will fine you five thousand spirit stones as punishment. I hope you can remember the rules of Liehai City. Are you convinced by this way of handling me?" Liu Qingyun looked at him. He turned to Wu Yan coldly.
Wu Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Ni Quan, who was next to him, thought Wu Yan was going to contradict him, so he immediately laughed and tried to smooth things over: "Deputy City Lord Liu's treatment was extremely fair. Fellow Daoist Wu must be convinced. Deputy City Lord Liu, and fellow Daoist Wu, I am the same. For members of the Sea Hunting Palace sequence in the sea area of Shenmu Island, this punishment should be carried out by Ni. These are fifty mid-level spiritual stones, please check them with Deputy City Master Liu."
Liu Qingyun glanced at Wu Yan expressionlessly, and did not pick up the storage bag from Ni Quan's hand. Instead, he turned around and walked directly to the "Sea Hunter Shenzhou".
Ni Quan smiled awkwardly. At this time, another senior sea-hunting law enforcer walked up to Ni Quan, cupped his hands and said: "Master Ni, please leave the spirit stone to me. As Deputy City Lord Liu, how can he care? This is a spiritual stone. But the rules cannot be broken. I hope you can give this fellow Daoist Wu some good advice."
"Thank you, Brother Li. Haha, go back to Liehai City. Mr. Ni is hosting a banquet at Cuiyun Tower. I'll treat Brother Li to a drink. You must come!" Ni Quan handed the storage bag to this man. The green-robed monk quietly stuffed another storage bag containing spiritual stones into the man's sleeve and whispered.
The green-robed monk responded calmly, but with a smile in his eyes, he said: "Then I'm sorry for you, Li! Haha, everyone, hurry up and board the boat. The Shenzhou has to go to Jamfu Island to pick up Xumi." Zong people can’t delay for too long.”
Following Ni Quan and the law enforcement officer named Li, Wu Yan led a group of retinues and walked up the green wooden ladder to the "Hunting Sea Divine Boat".
Of course, it is impossible for the monks on the "Hunting Sea Divine Boat" not to pay attention to the abnormal situation happening here. In particular, even Deputy City Lord Liu, who was in charge of the "Sea Hunting Divine Boat", was alarmed. The monks who had already settled in had already opened the skylight on the Divine Boat and had been silently paying attention to the actions here.
Wu Yan looked at the cabins on the upper and lower floors calmly, and found that the cabin on the lower floor had fifteen skylights open, and the cabin on the upper floor had eight skylights open.
Upon closer inspection, there are fifteen skylights on the upper floor and as many as thirty on the lower floor. Obviously, the upper and lower floors were not full. There are still seven cabins on the upper level, and fifteen cabins on the lower level are empty.
Based on this calculation, there should be six mid-level teams and fifteen low-level teams that have not boarded the boat. In other words, the teams on Yanfu Island alone account for half of them. It seems that in this Island Seizing Conference, the four major sects have really spent a lot of money and plan to enter the Hunting Sea Alliance forcefully.
After communicating with Ni Quan some time ago, Wu Yan had already guessed that this year's Hunting Sea War might not be that simple. The four major sects sent out all the elite young disciples within their sects this time. It should not only be to trap the remaining monks of the Tianzhou Continent, but the deeper purpose is to take this opportunity to infiltrate or even control those who have exceeded the four major sects. The sect-controlled Sea Hunting Alliance.
After all, the Sea Hunting Alliance was originally founded jointly by the four major sects, but now it has become its own force and is completely out of the control of the four major sects. How can the four major sects be willing to do so?
Just from the fact that Liu Qingyun drove away Tanaka, who was related to the Xumi Sect, it can be seen that the secret competition between the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance has reached a fever pitch.
