Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 83 Landing on Chixia Island
A quarter of an hour later, the Bilang Spirit Boat roared out of the calamity cloud.

Chen Mu used his magic power, and the spirit boat suddenly returned to its original size, landed on the sea and continued to speed.

The golden sun reappeared, reflecting waves of heat surging towards the spirit boat.

However, no one complained at this time. Instead, they turned back in fear and stared for a long time at the sea where calamity clouds were pressing down and evil spirits were rising into the sky.

After a moment, the calamity clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the demonic energy rising into the sky quickly dispersed. It was obvious that the demonic beasts had gained some advantage and were anxiously returning to their nests to digest it...

Because Lingzhou and his group were too far away, they could no longer detect the changes in the demonic energy, but they still guessed the situation from the dissipation of the calamity clouds.

Chen Mu's mind moved, and he handed the power of driving the spirit boat back to Manager Hu, and said softly: "Let's stick with the previous arrangement. One person will be rotated every three days, and we will get out of this sea area as soon as possible."

Li Hu and Fang Xiaopan both nodded in agreement. Judging from their expressions, they obviously did not want to take any more risks. Wu Xuanyang sat cross-legged on the side, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, without saying a word.

As Manager Hu piloted the spirit boat, he secretly observed the expressions of the crowd. After a pause, he softly asked, "Junior Brother Chen, it's not easy for us to go out to sea. Moreover, we only obtained a few low-level demon cores this time... Are we just going to leave like this?"

More than thirty years ago, he was assigned to the Treasure Pavilion in Tianhe Market as a menial disciple. Until now, he has been promoted to the head of the pavilion. During this period, he had gone through many difficulties and twists and turns, but he relied on his tact and courage to take risks in important situations to overcome them one by one.

Although his enterprising spirit has waned as he grows older, he still can't help feeling unwilling when he encounters something.

Moreover, if they returned directly this time, because the demon cultivators were responding to the calamity in this sea area, they didn't know when they would be able to gather together to search for treasure again...

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuanyang opened his eyes and looked at Chen Mu, but did not speak directly as he did before.

Chen Mu's eyes showed a thoughtful look. He turned to the side and looked into the distance.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, if we don't leave now, do we have to go back again to congratulate that Golden Core Monster on his success?"

It was Fang Xiaopan who suddenly spoke and whispered to Manager Hu.

"Hmph!" Wu Xuanyang, who had been silent until then, snorted coldly upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist Fang is just like before. When faced with obstacles, he refuses to do this or that. Even if I don't force you to follow me, you refuse to withdraw... You're just a playboy."

"You!..." Fang Xiaopan's anger rose, and a bloody color suddenly appeared on his fair and beardless face, but he suppressed it in the blink of an eye, as if he didn't dare to really turn against Wu Xuanyang.

This incompetent look is really like a scholar meeting a soldier.

Manager Hu, unfazed by his usual tact, said calmly, "What I told Junior Brother Chen wasn't about us rushing back to die... but rather about exploring other options."

Fang Xiaopan had a blank expression on his face as he leaned towards Chen Mu. He subconsciously thought that Chen Mu and he should be the same kind of people. After all, when the incident happened, he immediately made the decision to avoid it.

Although Chen Mu was looking into the distance, he did not miss their words.

He thought for a moment, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a deserted island on the distant sea. The island was not big, only a few miles in radius.

Chen Mu's mind stirred, and some ideas emerged. He quickly turned his head and asked, "Brother Hu, are there any cultivator islands nearby?"

Manager Hu nodded and replied, "Brother, do you want to go to an island first and get some information before making a decision?"

This is actually what he was thinking just now. If he didn't find out the truth, no one would dare to come to this sea area again.

Chen Mu nodded slightly and replied, "That's right. A Jindan demon cultivator wouldn't just randomly pick a sea area to face the calamity. Since they chose this place... then the cultivators here might know something about this demon cultivator's origins."

"If I could get some information, it would be easier to make the next decision."

Manager Hu was delighted and immediately began to think. "The closest place is a monastic island called Chixia..."

"Seventeen years ago, the Northern Plains Jindan cultivator, Hengyun Zhenren, became the Dragon Palace's son-in-law, and this Chixia Island was given to him by the Dragon Palace as a reward for his allegiance."

"And this Master Hengyun has a wide circle of friends, so many sects in Beiyuan came to congratulate him. My master's sect, Shuiyunjian, was no exception, and sent Master Shi of Dutian Peak to offer congratulations... I followed them at the time, serving as a disciple to do menial tasks..."

Manager Hu searched his inner memories and spoke slowly.

Chen Mu's eyes lit up, and after a few sighs in his heart, he replied, "How many days is Chixia Island from here?"

"About... four or five days."

Manager Hu said after making an assessment.

Chen Mu made up his mind and said loudly: "Then let's go to Chixia Island first to understand the situation here, and then make a decision!"

Manager Hu had no objection. He had been planning to find an island to wait, and now with Chen Mu's support, he had no more worries. He immediately changed direction slightly and drove the spirit boat forward through the waves.

Fang Xiaopan remained expressionless, showing no sign of wanting to withdraw...

three days later.

Chen Mu stood in front, looking at the outline of a huge island emerging in the distance.

He summoned his spiritual power and focused his attention. He saw that the island was an irregular circle, with a thin, fiery red mist floating above it, making it look like it was covered in a layer of red gauze...

As the spirit boat got closer, Chen Mu and his companions gradually had more companions.

It turned out to be a white spiritual boat with cloud patterns about ten feet long. In the blink of an eye, it overtook them and sped towards Chixia Island.

Chen Mu subconsciously turned his head to look and found that there was a curtain on the spirit boat to conceal spiritual consciousness, so in a hurry, he only saw the figure of a cultivator sitting quietly behind the curtain.

Chen Mu shook his head and ignored it, with a thoughtful look on his face.

During the three-day journey, he had already learned some information about Chixia Island from Manager Hu.

For example, the nominal owner of Chixia Island, Hengyun Zhenren, actually lives in Dragon Palace all the time and has not been on the island for a long time. He only sent one of his disciples to take charge of the management.

Therefore, Chixia Island has gradually become a place similar to a market town in the sea area with a radius of hundreds of miles. Many chambers of commerce have set up branches on the island, and independent cultivators often linger here.

A moment later, Chen Mu and others jumped into the air and landed on Chixia Island, while Manager Hu waved his sleeves and put away the Bilang Spirit Boat.

At this moment, they were amazed at the huge city in front of them with its clusters of buildings, because if they ignored the East China Sea behind them, they would definitely not recognize that this was an island.

After watching for a while, Chen Mu immediately walked towards the city gate. Seeing this, Manager Hu and others followed him.

When I got closer, I found that there were several monks wearing white Taoist robes with cloud patterns at the city gate, maintaining order in the queue of monks entering the city.

"Fellow Daoist, are you going into the city?"

When it was Chen Mu's turn, a monk in Taoist robes on the left asked with a smile.

　The second update will be a little later, please don't wait~
