On the big ship, the one-eyed sturdy man saw Gu Mo’s approaching figure at an extreme speed, knowing he was no match.
So he immediately ordered: “All abandon the ship, jump into the lake!”
With his command, more than a hundred pirates from the three ships jumped into the lake in succession.
“Splash!” “Splash!”
The sound of water splashing was continuous.
The they were already adept at such actions.
The pirates who lived in Smoke Ripple Lake were excellent swimmers and practiced breath-holding for a long time.
So once they jumped into the water, it was like fish returning to the sea, and it was virtually impossible to eliminate them all. This was also the reason for their continued survival.
Seeing this scene.
Jiang Yuan’s gaze suddenly became sharp.
Trying to escape!
The next moment, he spurred his martial dao intent to its utmost with a mere thought.
Now that he had consolidated his divine soul and has the boost of Innate Qi Luck.
His mental power was several times more powerful than that of his peers within the same realm.
With his full stimulation, his powerful mental force directly swept across. A host of corpses instantly burst up on the surface of the water.
In the face of his current psychokinesis, those under the Body Forging seventh level barely stood a chance to survive.
As for the few pirates above the seventh level.
Under the flashing of Gu Mo’s sword light, they were all beheaded by him one by one.
It only took the time of a cup of tea, the Kuangfeng Tribe pirates who had been plaguing Smoke Ripple Lake for decades were wiped out. Only the three empty large boats were left drifting on the lake.
In the distance.
Elder Fu nodded his approval, applauding, “Truly worthy of a young man. He does whatever his heart dictates! Now that he has eliminated the pirates of Kuangfeng Tribe, it’s indeed a great act of kindness, contributing to immense merit! ”
The girl in a blue dress was also starstruck: “I really want to get to know this kind of genius youth!”
Elder Fu glanced at her and chuckled.
Indeed, such a young man easily wins the favor of beautiful women.
However, it was a pity that this kind of genius was not within the Su Family’s reach.
In the future, he will undoubtedly enter an Immortal Sect and ascend above the mortal world.
On the other side.
Gu MO walked on water and came, holding a captive in one hand and boarding the ship.
“Young Master, I have successfully completed the task!”
Jiang Yuan nodded, then looked at the two and said, “Take me to the
Kuangfeng Tribe, and I’ll spare your lives!”
Instantly, the two desperate men lifted their heads, a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
“Really?”
“You don’t deserve my deception!” said Jiang Yuan indifferently.
Hearing his words, the two were immediately thrilled.
Joy filled their hearts. As he said, such a genius would have no reason to deceive them.
The two immediately nodded vigorously: “Okay!”
Then, under their guidance, the boat began to change direction and head towards the base of the Kuangfeng Tribe.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan also returned to the ship’s cabin.
Then he took out the twelve-inch-long brocade box and placed it on the table.
He had not opened the box since it came into his possession.
But now, after hearing the words of the masked man, he was somewhat tempted to open it.
After making the decision, he became alert and gently opened the brocade box.
Originally, he had assumed that there may be hidden weapons inside, or other unexpected situations.
After all, such a precious object had provoked more than a dozen masters of the ninth level of Body Forging to attack him.
But reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened, all was calm.
However, when he opened the brocade box and saw the white jade token inside.
Jiang Yuan’s eyes suddenly froze; it was somewhat unbelievable.
He had seen this object before, and his memory of it was vivid. He had a similar token.
Subsequently, he took out a jade token from his body.
He placed it aside, it seemed exactly the same.
Only this jade token was carved with two words.
Tantai!
“Tantai!” Jiang Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly, somewhat puzzled. In his memory, he never had doubts about this item, nor did he ask Jiang Zhenyuan.
Who did this jade token belong to, what did the two words “Tantai” represent?
But now.
He was extraordinarily curious.
Why did Jiang Zhenyuan have the jade token of the Supreme Mystery Sect, possessing this item meant that one could join the Supreme Mystery Sect.
Why didn’t he seek a master back then, and instead chose to live in a small place like Lin’an County?
No matter how renowned the title of Wind Thunder Sword was, no matter how big the foundation of Zhenyuan Escort Agency was.
Compared to joining the Immortal Sect, all of it was insignificant.
If he had joined the Immortal Sect, how could he be stuck at the Body Forging Eighth Layer?
Thinking of these, Jiang Yuan instantly called out to the outside of the cabin, “Uncle Ma, come in for a moment!”
After a few moments, Old Ma pushed the cabin door open and walked in.
“Young Master, what can I do for you?”
Jiang Yuan picked up the jade token in his hand with the words “Tantai” engraved on it and asked, “Uncle Ma, do you recognize this token?”
Seeing this, Old Ma nodded, “I recognize it!” “Where is this item from?”
Old Ma sighed a bit, “Well, that’s a long story.”
Seeing that Old Ma was about to launch into an extended discussion, Jiang Yuan hurriedly said, “Just keep it brief.”
“Er… alright then! ” Old Ma nodded.
Then he slowly told Jiang Yuan about what happened twenty years ago.
When Jiang Zhenyuan was young, he once saved a woman with a celestial beauty who was seriously injured.
That woman was named Tantai Ming.
Both of them fell in love and enlisted each other’s affections. Jiang Zhenyuan, who had saved the woman, quickly fell into deep love.
They even privately decided on each other for life!
Just as they were preparing to host a wedding ceremony.
That woman’s master found her, and then Jiang Zhenyuan knew that the woman was a true disciple from the Supreme Mystery Sect.
Contact with her was as different as heaven and earth, they were not people from the same world.
Tantai Ming was born and lived in the Supreme Mystery Sect, so she was inherently an Immortal. One day, she would definitely transcend worldliness and live for hundreds of years.
While Jiang Zhenyuan, on the other hand, was only a mortal who would be gone in less than a hundred years.
Due to the intervention of Tantai Ming’s master, they had to part ways.
Before leaving, at Tantai Ming’s strong request, her master gave Jiang Zhenyuan an opportunity.
That was this token, as well as a manual of the Wind Thunder Sword. If Jiang
Zhenyuan could cultivate to the Body Forging Ninth Layer based on the Wind Thunder Sword, he would be eligible to go to the Supreme Mystery Sect to study.
In this way, they could renew their past relationship.
After listening quietly to all this, Jiang Yuan asked, “Why did he marry my mother later?”
Old Ma smiled, “The master knew that reality was often far from ideal. He knew he had no hope of reaching the limit of being a mortal with his talent! So he let go of the obsession from his youth, married, and had a child peacefully. Unfortunately, your mother was weak by nature, and she passed away shortly after you were born!”
Then, he sighed, “If they knew how excellent you are now, they would be very happy!”
“So that’s how it is!” Jiang Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air. He put the token engraved with the words Tantai back into his pocket.
Then he put the lid back on the brocade box.
That’s fine too, so I don’t have to worry anymore!
I should give this item to Su Yuan’er and resolve this karma.
I’ll go to the Supreme Mystery Sect!
At least there will be some backing there!
Should be some sort of backing, right!
Jiang Yuan quietly thought to himself..
