A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Chapter 232 On the East China Sea, One Island Reigns Supreme

Despite having "valley" in its name, Ghost Valley is actually a large island. Continuing northeast from Maple Creek Town, you can reach the Nine Nether Shipyard, which was specially built for Ghost Valley. Boarding a ship here will take you to Ghost Valley.

Lin Xueyi had a lot of complaints about the construction, and she brought it up directly to Mo Ningyan on the ship. She said that if the dock was destroyed, wouldn't the Netherworld Ghost Valley be trapped on the island and unable to reach the mainland? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Mo Ningyan chuckled and pinched Lin Xueyi's nose. Of course they knew this. This was just one of many shipyards, and there were many more along the coast. Such a long coastline could not be controlled by any single force.

Even throughout the Central Continent, there are many shipyards that are open to both righteous and evil forces, so naturally they wouldn't let anyone block their way out and trap them on the island. Mo Ningyan didn't tell her any of this at the time; she was just smiling there.

Lin Xueyi felt an urge to punch Ge Xinyao in the chest with her little fists and say, "What a laugh!" Of course, the main reason was that Ge Xinyao was right behind her, and she had to maintain her image.

Since the other party wasn't going to answer her question, Lin Xueyi still had something to settle with her. She had been waiting for this settlement for a long time. Before, there were always other people around, but now there were practically no outsiders. How could she possibly continue to tolerate it?

Gazing at the calm sea, Lin Xueyi turned to look at the bewildered woman she had just freed from her embrace. A smile played on her lips, but her eyes held a dangerous glint.

"So, should I call you Valley Master Mo Ningyan now, or Ruoxue?"

Yes, this matter must be made clear. I lied to her back then, even saying my name was Ruoxue. If I had known her real name earlier, would I have had to search for her for so long, enduring hardships and being bullied by those people outside?

With that tone and that look, Mo Ningyan would be truly foolish not to know her little wife was angry. However, how to respond at this moment was a skill in itself. Whether she answered Mo Ningyan or Ruoxue, it might escalate the other's emotions. So, she decided to take a gamble and choose neither.

"Actually, you can call me either way, but I think it's best if you call me husband."

Looking incredulously at the woman with a smug smile, how could she be so shameless? Didn't she see she was angry? And she still called him "husband"? If I called him that, would you dare to answer? Well, based on my understanding of her, she really would.

Lin Xueyi was truly at a loss with this kind of person. She couldn't bear to hit her, especially with that charming face and alluring figure. Not to mention her, apart from a certain powerful XX, probably no one would be willing to lay a hand on her.

Unlike typical female warriors in the martial arts world, Mo Ningyan's temperament lacked much of a heroic spirit, but possessed a great deal of charm and grace. She was described as having a beauty that could rival any other, a captivating allure, graceful as a willow branch swaying gently among the clouds.

How could she believe that such a person could be one of the top masters in the martial arts world? It was precisely because of her appearance that Lin Xueyi told her that she was not a master in the martial arts world and that there were many people with similar cultivation levels to her.

As a result, she even developed a very incorrect understanding of her own cultivation level. Now that she thinks about it, she realizes that this woman was clearly lying to her, hoping that she wouldn't run away.

"Ruoxue, tell me, I am, after all, the young lady of the Holy Dragon Palace. If I were to go to your Netherworld Ghost Valley, do you think I should act on behalf of Heaven or uphold justice in the martial world? And tell me, how should I uphold justice?"

This is already a threat. It's pretty clear: if I go to your Netherworld Ghost Valley, be careful, I'll turn your place upside down and turn this Netherworld Ghost Valley into a real Netherworld.

However, Mo Ningyan didn't take Lin Xueyi's threat to heart at all. Anyway, she was forced to go on stage, and if the Netherworld Ghost Valley really disappeared, she might not be the one crying. However, she couldn't ignore Lin Xueyi's words.

"How to uphold justice in the martial arts world? That's a simple question. Just take action and persuade the master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. That way, you can reduce the killing and gain some new people. It's a win-win situation. Isn't my idea good?"

He took a deep breath. This woman, this woman, she really made him furious. How did he even manage to bring her out here? This is all her doing!

Her small fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, her heart pounding with an irrepressible urge to give this woman a brutal beating. No, if it weren't for Ge Xinyao's presence behind her, she would have already struck.

Just as Lin Xueyi was caught in a dilemma about whether to take action or not, Mo Ningyan finally pointed her finger into the distance, where the outline of a huge island had appeared.

"Xueyi, we're almost there. Look ahead, that's our Netherworld Valley, your home now."

Mo Ningyan also wanted to ask Lin Xueyi about her situation. After all, she had been away for so long, and although she had sent people out to protect her, she still wanted to understand some details carefully, especially what had happened in the valley where they had lived together.

She hadn't had the chance before, but now that she was on her own turf, she wanted to have a serious and detailed talk with Lin Xueyi to see who was so audacious as to dare to attack her territory.

Following Mo Ningyan's finger, Lin Xue finally saw the outline of the huge island in the distance. Judging from its size, it had already exceeded her stereotype of an island.

I initially thought it was just a small island, but now that I look at it, I realize that it's not a small island at all. The island itself is already larger than any known island in the previous world.

Moreover, at this time, Mo Ningyan also explained to her in detail the sea area ruled by Youming Ghost Valley. Although there is only one force here, Youming Ghost Valley, there are many other small forces under its command. This is not just a single island of Youming Ghost Valley, but clearly an archipelago.

Who could imagine that such a large archipelago exists in this coastal area, not far from the mainland?

Among these archipelago, the largest and most powerful is the Netherworld Ghost Valley. The other forces are the legendary Thirty-Six Prefectures and Seventy-Two Caves. Of course, not all of them are here, but most of them are.

No wonder it's said in the martial arts world that in the East China Sea, one island reigns supreme. As the ship sailed deeper, Lin Xueyi finally saw this vast archipelago of islands.

Main text: Chapter 233 Landing on the Island

Lin Xueyi had seen the sea before, but this was the first time she had ever been on a huge ship, sailing through the vast ocean.

As the large ship passed by some islands, Lin Xueyi could see the fishing nets drying on the wooden frames on the shore, as well as the fishing boats fishing on both sides of the ship. She could even see the people on the large ship waving and greeting the people on board when they saw the ship passing by. It seemed that they did not have the fear that one might expect, but rather showed great respect for the people on the boats.

Is this some kind of heretical path? Looking at everything before her, Lin Xueyi thought, this couldn't possibly have been prepared in advance, nor could it have been done in the first place. These people genuinely respected the people of the Netherworld Ghost Valley.

Suddenly, without warning, someone from the fishing boat below exerted force and threw a basket of fish that had already been caught onto their boat. Incredibly, the fish didn't scatter in the air; they were all thrown onto the boat along with the basket.

As if it were commonplace, some of the crew members skillfully carried the basket of fish ashore. Since they traveled by sea, they caught their own fish along the way and naturally had no shortage of seafood. However, they gladly accepted the gesture of goodwill. Lin Xueyi also saw someone toss a bag onto the fishing boat. Judging by its size, it was probably for calculating payment based on the contents of the basket.

"This is the territory of the Flying Fish Mansion. They have made their living by fishing on this island for generations. Every time our ship passes through here, someone will bring us the best seafood they have caught."

Send it? Lin Xueyi thought about the big basket that the unknown person had just thrown onto the boat. Wasn't this kind of sending a bit too exaggerated?

"The person just now should be the sect leader of Flying Fish Mansion. You will naturally see him when you arrive at Netherworld Ghost Valley."

Seeing Lin Xueyi's bewildered expression, Mo Ningyan assumed she was confused because she hadn't seen who the other person was, so she smiled and pinched her cheek, saying with amusement.

As the two chatted on the ship, Lin Xueyi watched the huge vessel depart, continuing its slow journey towards the largest island not far away.

"That must be your Ghost Valley, but I don't feel any ghostly atmosphere at all. It's called Ghost Valley, but it doesn't look like Ghost Valley at all." Suddenly, Lin Xueyi thought of something. This Ghost Valley seemed to be the same as the Ghost Valley in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods that she knew before.

After they separated, Lin Xueyi did have such thoughts, but Mo Ningyan's words dispelled her doubts.

"Our sect is called Netherworld Ghost Valley. This island originally had its own name, but fewer and fewer people called it that. Over the years, people only knew it as Netherworld Ghost Valley and forgot its original name."

Is this the legendary Gresham's Law of Gresham's Law? It doesn't quite fit, but it makes sense. This place is famous because of the Netherworld Ghost Valley sect. Similarly, the island's name, which wasn't particularly important before, is no longer something that people bother to remember.

"Do you know what this island is called?"

Looking at the lush, green island in the distance, it's quite large, probably about the size of Taiwan province in China, and there are likely many ordinary people living there. However, considering the size of the island, one can imagine the strength of any sect possessing such a vast territory.

In addition, there are some small towns along the shore that are considered their territory. Well, this self-proclaimed biggest evil leader in the martial arts world does have some influence.

With the help of the helmsman and captain, the huge ship carefully docked at the shipyard of the massive island. Lin Xueyi was about to walk down the ladder when Mo Ningyan suddenly pulled her into her arms.

"Girl, there's no need to climb down the ladder. I'll just fly you down."

Lin Xueyi: ? ? ? ? ?

Before she could even process her confusion, the next second, she felt herself being lifted into the air, experiencing the thrill of extreme sports in Mo Ningyan's arms.

Mo Ningyan, holding her little girl, was excitedly leaping all the way. In just a few breaths, she had already jumped her from the dock all the way to the market in the town some distance away from the dock.

The market is bustling with all sorts of people, with a wide variety of goods on both sides and pedestrians in the middle. Elderly people bring children, couples feed their dogs, and all kinds of people make up this lively market.

"How is it? Not bad here, right?"

Mo Ningyan held Lin Xueyi and watched the lively scene below. She felt a little proud, after all, she had made a contribution to making the place so prosperous.

"This guest, if you want to dine here, please come through the main entrance first. It's very dangerous to sit on our roof."

Just as Mo Ningyan was proudly about to continue talking to Lin Xueyi, they suddenly heard a voice with a slightly mysterious tone coming from behind them.

Lin Xueyi looked at the somewhat embarrassed Mo Ningyan and couldn't help but cover her mouth, which was already bursting with laughter. However, her smiling eyes could still make Mo Ningyan feel the little girl's joy.

"Alright, laugh if you want. I'm not going to cause trouble for this person over a single sentence."

Looking at Lin Xueyi's adorable appearance, Mo Ningyan could only sigh. However, as she turned around, intending to leave with Lin Xueyi...

The thud startled both of them. The restaurant owner, who had just been talking about Mo Ningyan, now looked at the man in front of him with a terrified expression.

Of course, the two were startled for different reasons. Lin Xueyi was simply taken aback by the other person's sudden movement and was caught off guard, which startled her. As for Mo Ningyan, that was a different matter altogether. Especially after hearing the first words the other person spoke after kneeling down, it was even more terrifying.

"Valley Master, I was unaware of your presence and said things I shouldn't have. I apologize for that."

Mo Ningyan took a deep breath. So, whose side is this guy on? Could he be another spy sent by Lin Xuerong? Doesn't he have ears? Didn't he hear what she just said? Since he can't hear anything, he might as well cut them off.

You were just proudly telling Lin Xueyi how your treatment was going, and the next second you came out and slapped her in the face. I could forgive you for not hearing me before, but what about now?

Mo Ningyan was truly furious with this man. She felt that if Lin Xueyi hadn't been there, she probably would have sent him to his grave with her fists.

Chapter 234 Lin Xuerong's Resentment

"Palace Master, the young lady has already left by boat with Mo Ningyan, and the other forces have also left. Should we break camp and return now?"

The words were spoken with trepidation. There was no way around it; ever since the Palace Master had to send the young lady to the Netherworld Ghost Valley with that female demon Mo Ningyan for some reason, the aura emanating from their Palace Master had been getting lower and lower.

She didn't originally intend to ask, but she lost a game of rock-paper-scissors with her fellow disciples and had no choice but to come and inquire. What if she didn't say the right thing? Would they just turn around and leave?

Sure enough, when the disciple turned around and saw his master's face, he almost wet himself in fright. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The fact that the young lady was taken away by Mo Ningyan was clearly a huge blow to the master.

"Palace Master... The young lady has already been taken to the Netherworld Ghost Valley by Valley Master Mo Ningyan. Shouldn't we return to the palace first and discuss the rest later?"

"Visiting? Bah! What kind of visiting is this? It was clearly that she-devil Mo Ningyan who tricked my sister away. Xueyi is still young and has no idea what the dangers of the martial world are. This woman used her sweet words to deceive Xueyi. I absolutely cannot admit to such a thing."

Lin Xuerong didn't say anything about it, but others could probably guess. However, the young lady had already run away with someone, so they couldn't just storm into the Netherworld Valley and snatch her back.

Putting aside whether they are willing or not, even if they did, they would still need to be able to get in. As for the situation of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, the Holy Dragon Palace, which has been fighting against them all along, knows it all too well.

Putting aside everything else, the islands surrounding the Netherworld Ghost Valley alone are their biggest barrier. To attack the Netherworld Ghost Valley itself, one must break through the defense of the entire island chain. Even if one manages to break through, it will be a spent force. How could one possibly defeat the Netherworld Ghost Valley's formidable defenses?

As for Lin Xuerong, she was extremely annoyed. She really didn't expect that the spy she had thought had infiltrated the enemy had already been discovered by Mo Ningyan. This time, her operation was intended to deal a heavy blow to the Holy Dragon Palace.

Once the Holy Dragon Palace suffers a significant loss of strength, not to mention the evil forces, even the righteous forces will not be willing to continue under the leadership of the Holy Dragon Palace. Once there is resistance, the entire Central Continent will fall into internal strife.

At that time, Mo Ningyan only needs to defeat them one by one to bring most of Zhongzhou under the control of Youming Ghost Valley. However, this is her guess, while Lin Xueyi has another guess, which surprised both Mo Ningyan and her.

That is, instead of occupying their own territory, they stay behind the scenes and help whoever is weaker, in exchange for certain resources. This way, the entire Central Continent can remain in this state of internal strife. Even if one force manages to unify the region, it will be crushed by the other forces that unite to achieve this.

However, this idea was utterly unheard of, yet it truly sent a chill down Lin Xuerong's spine. Luckily, it was her own sister; if it were anyone else, she really wouldn't know whether to bring this scourge home and lock her up. Hmm? No, even if it's her own sister, she still has to bring her home.

"Palace Master, I am sorry. It was my oversight that allowed the demon Mo Ningyan to discover my identity. Please punish me."

Just as the disciples on the side were trembling, unsure whether to advance or retreat, the traitor who had originally infiltrated the Netherworld Ghost Valley finally came to Lin Xuerong's side after recovering some of his injuries.

With a look of guilt on her face, she knelt on one knee behind Lin Xuerong, pleading for punishment. It was indeed because of him that the entire Holy Dragon Palace had almost suffered losses.

Looking at this woman, Lin Xuerong recalled the scene that had happened before, a scene that still infuriated her to this day.

The scene shifts back to the time when the two sides were in a standoff. Zhong Yuxiu had already made a decision to allow Lin Xueyi to go to the Netherworld Valley with Mo Ningyan, but did she really think she didn't exist?

Just standing there quietly was enough to make Mo Ningyan unable to leave with peace of mind. She didn't know how ugly her face looked at that moment, but the thought that her younger sister was going to leave with a demon made her extremely unhappy.

How could my little sister, whom I raised with such difficulty, be taken by a sow? Besides, sows should be eating pig feed in the pigpen. My own little sister, this delicate and beautiful cabbage, should be with her, the gardener.

Seeing her older sister's obvious attempt to stop her, Lin Xueyi felt a pang of sympathy. It wasn't that she had deep feelings for her sister, but rather that the lingering emotions within her made her feel the girl's affection for her sister.

Thinking back to what she had learned before, Lin Xuerong was really good to Lin Xueyi. Apart from not letting her go out casually, she basically fulfilled all her requests. In addition, although the two were said to be sisters, this younger sister had lived with her since childhood. When their parents were alive, the older sister always silently helped her take the blame. When their parents were not alive, this older sister not only supported the Holy Dragon Palace, but also supported her.

How could she not be attached to such a girl? How could she not be attached to her? Lin Xueyi herself even thought that if, if she had come into this world and the first person she met was not Mo Ningyan, but this nominal older sister, she might have really fallen in love with this older sister.

Faced with this inner torment, Lin Xueyi helplessly raised her head. She could slap many people to death, or unleash a rain of swords, but in this situation, she had no way to do anything.

Fortunately, Mo Ningyan had made arrangements for this situation. At this moment, she looked at her old rival who was blocking her way without saying a word with a smile. She knew all too well the weakness of such righteous people.
