The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1040 Requesting Rescue
Bai Xue looked at the "Young Master Wang" descending from the sky, her eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of relief and disbelief.

Fortunately, just as it was about to perish, it received powerful assistance.

What he couldn't believe was that in just one month, the "junior" who was originally only at the Gang Sha realm had become someone he had to look up to!

It should be noted that the humanoid monster was no weakling. The protective array she set up on the ship, using her own fundamental divine power "Yunxiu Gangfeng Palace" as the array core, was destroyed in her hands after not even withstanding three blows.

Furthermore, the "Yunxiu Gangfeng Palace" supernatural power was completely destroyed and could no longer be used in the short term.

Yet this formidable enemy was killed before he could even withstand three moves from the newly ascended supernatural being, "Young Master Wang."

"If the prodigies of top noble families are this terrifying, what kind of demeanor must the direct descendants of the upper sects and aristocratic families be like? We cultivators from humble families can't compare at all! Cough cough cough..." Bai Xue sighed as she coughed violently, her beautiful face contorted with pain.

Because her fundamental supernatural powers were destroyed, she is in very poor condition and has almost fallen out of her cultivation realm.

If she was in such a state, one can imagine the situation of the other "Wind Chant Pavilion" disciples on the ship who were assisting in presiding over the formation. Most of them suffered a backlash the moment the protective formation shattered, and serious injury was the best outcome.

Even though it was difficult for them to stand up, Bai Xue and several disciples at the magic power level still managed to bow to Zhao Chen, who had landed on the deck: "Thank you for your help, Young Master Wang."

Zhao Chen waved his hand, his divine sense covering the entire ship. He found that there were no other passengers on board. After a moment's thought, he took out a cup of "Sweet Dew Spring" that he had brought back from the Sima family's cave from his "collection space" and sprinkled it on the cultivators of "Wind Chant Pavilion".

Although this amount of medicine cannot immediately heal their injuries, it can at least prevent them from worsening and keep them alive.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xue bowed in gratitude again, then pleaded urgently:

"Young Master Wang, could you please take me to see the 'Commander of the Army' of Deer Island? Our Three Immortal Islands are currently besieged by several demons and monsters at the supernatural level, and I'm afraid our Sect Master won't be able to hold out for much longer..."

Due to excessive emotional distress, which aggravated her injuries, Bai Xue coughed up a mouthful of blood at the end of her speech.

So the "Seeking Immortals" was adventuring to sail at night to seek help... Zhao Chen suddenly realized, and then frowned, because as far as he knew, there were actually quite a few monsters near Deer Island. If that "Commander of Soldiers" from the outer sect of the Dao Immortal Sect left, this place would probably immediately turn into a battlefield.

As for the cultivators with supernatural powers, they will probably have to wait until dawn to reach the Three Immortal Islands.

Seeing Zhao Chen remain silent, Bai Xue's heart sank, and she quickly asked, "Young Master Wang, is there something troubling you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen snapped out of his reverie and briefly recounted how a "great calamity" had attacked the defensive line, causing a large number of sea monsters and demons to slip into the island chain. He concluded by saying:

"You need to be prepared that reinforcements may not be able to set off for a while."

Bai Xue's head buzzed. Even as a resolute master of supernatural powers, she felt dizzy and despairing.

However, just as she looked blankly at Zhao Chen, who was still lost in thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline. She knelt down and pleaded pitifully, "Please, Young Master Wang, save my Three Immortals Island! Bai Xue is willing to be your slave to repay your kindness." In her opinion, if there was anyone who could be a strong ally now, it would be this young master from a prominent family! Not to mention that he had a powerful protector, his own combat strength was also among the top in the realm of supernatural powers.

The other Fengyin Pavilion disciples who were still able to move were surprised to see their master kneeling down. They followed suit and knelt down, pleading in unison, "Please, young master, save our Three Immortal Islands."

Zhao Chen was actually weighing the matter. He secretly wanted to go to the rescue, after all, there was more than just "Fengyin Pavilion" on the Three Immortals Island, there were also 300,000 living beings. If the monster succeeded, there would be heavy casualties.

If he were unable to manage it, that would be one thing, but he now considers himself to be one of the best in terms of combat power at the supernatural level. With the help of Ling Wei, the Pavilion Master of Fengyin Pavilion, who has crossed the third heavenly ladder, even if he can't defeat those few monsters at the supernatural level, he should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

But this matter was ultimately very risky, requiring a nighttime sea crossing. Without sufficient profit, it would not actually conform to the operating principles of a "trade official".

However, just as he was hesitating, he heard Bai Xue's words about "serving as slaves and maids," and his heart stirred. He thought about it from a different angle: Yes... since Ling Wei, the Pavilion Master of Fengyin Pavilion, is going to use the dragon pearls of the Crimson and Azure Dragons to refine longevity pills, then she will be "one of us" sooner or later. In addition, with these Fengyin Pavilion disciples who voluntarily "serve as slaves and maids," the Three Immortal Islands can also be considered my "assets."

My act of saving my own "assets" is naturally not considered a violation of the code of conduct of my position, and I will not easily damage my destiny or bring disaster upon myself.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Chen pretended to be persuaded by Bai Xue and the others, and sighed, "I have a connection with the Three Immortal Islands, but I can't just sit by and watch them suffer..."

"How about this, Fairy Bai, you go to Deer Island to get reinforcements, while I'll set off immediately to help Pavilion Master Ling fend off the sea monster attack."

Perhaps due to her severe injuries, Bai Xue, the female cultivator known as "Yunxiu Qingpin," showed obvious joy on her face and knelt down again.

Then, she took out a token and respectfully handed it to Zhao Chen, saying, "This is the control token for the Three Immortal Islands' protective formation. With this, you can enter the formation on your own."

"In addition, I have also entered the information on several monsters and demons that I currently know about."

I don't actually need this thing, after all, the protective formation of your Three Immortal Islands can't stop the great supernatural power of "Starry Night Stop"... but it would be a big problem if the monster got it, no wonder that thing was chasing you so closely just now.

Zhao Chen accepted the token, then said "Take care" before merging with his sword once more, transforming into a beam of sword light and flying away.

As he disappeared, Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the disciples who were still able to move, "Check if the telegraph on the ship is still working. If it is, send a message to Senior Sister Dong, who is stationed on Lushi Island, and ask her to come and pick us up so we can discuss how to get reinforcements."

Fengyin Pavilion also has many properties on Deer Island, so naturally, there need to be cultivators with supernatural powers stationed there. Dong Caiyu, known as "Shuoyun Zhuifeng," is currently in charge of this area.

This sixth-rank supernatural being has a striking and elegant appearance and an excellent temperament. He has many followers on Deer Island. It's just a pity that most of his supernatural abilities are of the lower or middle rank. Let alone rescue, even crossing the sea at night would probably be very difficult.

However, most of the disciples of Fengyin Pavilion are female cultivators, and their Daoist partners are spread across various families and sects on nearby islands. They have friends and relatives everywhere, so they still have considerable influence and appeal.
