I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2015 Seaman City

Half an hour later, the sky was still gloomy, with dark clouds, and the waves were surging, as if to swallow everything. Liu Jun and his boat struggled forward in the stormy waves and finally arrived at Hairen City.

The dock of Hairen City is usually very busy, with various ships coming and going. But today, perhaps because of the bad weather, the dock seems particularly deserted, with only two large ships docked there alone. One of them is the large ship that Liu Jun and his team had hijacked before. At this moment, it is particularly conspicuous in the wind and rain, like a huge shadow, shrouding everyone's heart.

"It's here as expected." Liu Jun frowned, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

No matter who dares to attack the people around him, he will retaliate against them.

"This is the Sea People City, which belongs to the Sea Beast Clan." Yao Guangxiao explained on the side.

"Let's go and take a look on the boat." Liu Jun gave an order, and everyone jumped up and landed steadily on the wooden boat like an arrow.

On the wooden boat, the wind and rain were raging, and the waves kept hitting the deck, making a deafening sound. Yao Guangxiao looked around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and soon found a black object on the deck.

"It seems to have been struck by lightning." Yao Guangxiao said in surprise, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"And it's not just any thunder, it's a calamity thunder." Liu Jun took over the conversation, his face becoming serious.

As someone who had a deep understanding of lightning, he could tell it was a thunderbolt just by the remaining aura. This meant that someone on the ship had been struck by lightning before, and judging by the traces, it was highly likely that they had been killed directly.

"There's not much death. Not many people died on this ship." Yang Xiao suddenly spoke.

He carefully sensed the atmosphere around him and found that there was no deathly aura around, which meant that not many people died on the ship.

"Not many people died? Could it be that their purpose was to capture them alive?" Upon hearing this, Liu Jun frowned even more tightly.

He began to realize that this hijacking might not be that simple and there might be a deeper conspiracy and purpose behind it.

"Can you still track down Chen Manni and the others?" Yao Guangxiao looked at Liu Jun.

Liu Jun was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something. Then, he turned and walked into the cabin. After a while, he came out with a pair of white embroidered handkerchiefs in his hands. The embroidery on the handkerchief was delicate and exquisite, exuding a faint fragrance.

"This should belong to Chen Manni," Liu Jun said in a low voice, "There is her scent on the handkerchief. We should be able to find her by following her scent."

As he spoke, Liu Jun waved his hand lightly, and a spirit dog appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

This dog is not big and looks very thin, with its ribs clearly visible on its belly. But its eyes are extremely sharp, as if it can see through everything.

"Smell it." Liu Jun held the handkerchief under the dog's nose. The dog immediately lowered its head and sniffed carefully. Its nose twitched slightly, as if it was catching every subtle smell in the air.

The next second, the dog suddenly raised its head, a gleam of light flashed in its eyes. It jumped off the wooden boat without hesitation and headed straight for the Seaman Castle. Its movements were agile and fast, like a white lightning streaking across the night sky.

Everyone looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Without any hesitation, they immediately flew up and followed closely behind the spirit dog.

The Seaman City looked particularly peaceful in the night, like a sleeping giant. There were no guards at the gate, and people could enter and leave the city at will. However, due to the weather, there were almost no people in the city. Only the occasional sound of wind and water broke the silence.

The dog moved freely in the city, as if it knew the terrain well. It jumped and ran, always moving at high speed. The crowd followed closely behind it, their figures looming in the night, like ghosts floating in the city.

As the dog went deeper and deeper, they came to a remote corner. There was an abandoned warehouse-like building with the door closed tightly, as if hiding some secrets. The dog stopped at the door, sniffed with its nose against the crack of the door, then looked back at the crowd with expectation in its eyes.

Everyone was shocked, as they knew that Chen Manni and the others were probably hiding in this warehouse. Liu Jun gestured to Yao Guangxiao and the others to stop, and then he approached the warehouse door carefully and quietly.

Through the narrow gap in the door, Liu Jun could clearly see a large group of people huddled on the ground in the dim space inside, their faces filled with despair.

Around these people stood several strange monsters with fish heads and human bodies. Their skin was covered with silver scales, which shone coldly in the dim light. These fish-headed monsters held spears and looked around fiercely, as if ready to attack the people on the ground at any time.

After seeing the situation clearly, Liu Jun's eyes became cold and fierce, and then he thought about it and summoned the Wutong Spirit again. As Liu Jun's capable partner, the Wutong Spirit had a tacit understanding with Liu Jun and naturally understood Liu Jun's thoughts.

It quickly shrank into a ball, shrinking to a size that could just squeeze through the crack in the door. Then, it slipped through the crack in the door silently, like an invisible gust of wind, without attracting the attention of any fish-headed people.

After entering, the Wutong Spirit immediately returned to its original state, turning into a cactus covered with thorns. Its movements were agile and fast, and before the fish-headed people noticed anything unusual, it had already taken the lead in attacking. It was seen waving the thorns on its body, like a sharp arrow, accurately shooting at the fish-headed people.

The fish-headed people obviously did not expect such a sudden attack. Before they could react, they were shot by the spikes of the Wutong Spirit. These spikes contained strong poison. Once they pierced the bodies of the fish-headed people, they would immediately end their lives. As a result, these monsters fell to the ground one after another without even making a sound.

Liu Jun and others who were hiding outside the door saw that the fish-headed people inside were quickly and effectively dealt with by the Spirit of Wutong, so they immediately kicked the door open and rushed in.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the fish-headed monster lying on the ground. Liu Jun and others quickly dispersed to rescue the trapped people and vigilantly observed the surroundings to prevent other dangers lurking in the dark.

"What's going on? Where are the others?" Liu Jun had an ominous premonition in his heart and looked around quickly. As far as his eyes could see, apart from the guards who were also captured, there were only the crew members on the ship.

The captain, Tiger, Chen Manni and others who were supposed to be here were nowhere to be seen, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. Liu Jun felt a chill in his heart, and he tried to calm himself down and analyze the current situation.

"Your Highness, my young lady has been taken to the City Lord's Mansion. Please go and save her quickly!" Chen Manni's maid suddenly rushed out from the crowd, her face full of tears and her voice filled with sobs. She tightly grasped Liu Jun's sleeves with both hands, her eyes full of pleading.

The moment he saw the maid, Liu Jun knew why the spirit dog had come here. Because the handkerchief in the maid's hand was exactly the same as the one he had let the spirit dog sniff.

"City Lord's Mansion? Are you talking about the City Lord's Mansion of Hairen City?" Liu Jun frowned. He didn't expect things to develop to this point. What does this have to do with Hairen City?
The maid nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Yes, I heard from a man with a sharp mouth and fish head that they are going to take important people to the city lord's mansion, saying that they are waiting for the eldest prince to come and pick them up."

The eldest prince? Liu Jun's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that this matter would involve the eldest prince.

Yao Guangxiao squinted his eyes and said solemnly, "It seems that the eldest prince of the sea beast clan has set his sights on us."

"The eldest prince of the sea beast tribe?" Liu Jun frowned, and information about the eldest prince quickly flashed through his mind. If he remembered correctly, he and the eldest prince should have no grudges, so why was he treated like this?

Liu Jun was filled with doubts and uneasiness, but he knew that now was not the time to pursue these issues. He had to come up with a plan as soon as possible to rescue Chen Manni and the others who had been taken away.

"Boss Yao, what do you think?" Liu Jun asked.

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We must act as soon as possible. Since the eldest prince of the sea beast clan has set his sights on us, he will not let us go easily, so we can't be too passive. We must first sneak into the city lord's mansion and rescue Chen Manni and others who were taken away by them. At the same time, try to avoid a direct conflict with the eldest prince of the sea beast clan, so as not to alert him and ruin our plan."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Yao Guangxiao's opinion.

He was not afraid of the so-called Great Prince of Sea Beasts, but the purpose of their coming to this sea area was extremely important. One of them was to use the power of the Sea Beasts to disrupt the Cold Water Divine Realm and prevent it from withdrawing troops to attack the Sky Fire Divine Realm. This was a game that concerned the overall situation, and any small mistake could bring unpredictable consequences.

If they really got into a conflict with the Great Prince of the Sea Beast Tribe because of an impulse, then their plan to persuade the Sea Beast Tribe to send troops would probably come to naught. This would not only make their trip fail, but it would also bring immeasurable losses to the Skyfire Divine Realm.

"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion. You wait for me here. You stay here and be ready to pick me up at any time. If there is any change, you can respond quickly." Liu Jun said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he flashed and left the large warehouse full of debris like a ghost.

Liu Jun's figure quickly shuttled through the night and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city. The building is magnificent and majestic, and it is still particularly conspicuous in the night. With his extraordinary eyesight and keen intuition, Liu Jun quickly found the location of the City Lord's Mansion. He hid in the dark, carefully observing the layout and guard situation of the City Lord's Mansion, and silently thinking about the plan of infiltration in his mind.

As the night deepened, the lights in the city lord's mansion were brightly lit, and the footsteps of the guards patrolling were particularly clear in the silent night. Liu Jun took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and entered the city lord's mansion in a few flashes.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion look quite similar to humans, except that their faces are strangely inlaid with gills, which flash a faint blue light and look particularly strange under the dim light. These gills are not only a symbol of their racial characteristics, but also an important organ that allows them to breathe freely underwater.

Liu Jun quietly shuttled through the shadows of the City Lord's Mansion, grabbed a patrolling guard, knocked him out with skillful techniques, and quickly changed into the guard's clothes. Then, he took out the Apocalypse mask and put it on his face. In an instant, his face changed into the appearance of the knocked-out guard, with the same facial features and temperament.

Liu Jun, dressed in guard attire, swaggered out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, secretly proud of his flawless plan. However, at this moment, a companion also dressed in guard attire came to him angrily.
