The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory

Warm water vapor filled the large bathroom. Xu Zihuang closed his eyes in deep thought for a long time before slowly opening his eyes. The purple-gold light deep in his eyes faded away and returned to calm.

While soaking in the bathtub, he used his mental power to spy on the entire plan discussed by Orange and the others from beginning to end.

First of all, in the past five or six years, a ship from the southern waters of the Sun and Moon Empire to the Yuenan Islands has been wrecked every once in a while. The frequency is not too high, and the time interval is not fixed. On average, there are only one or two cases a year. In the eyes of ordinary people, this situation is probably due to an attack by a powerful sea soul beast in the deep sea.

Due to the huge benefits in business transactions. Even if they know there is danger, there will still be large chambers of commerce willing to take risks. However, in order to ensure safety, a large number of soul masters and soul mentors are often used.

Orange and the other nineteen people in the next room are all elites of the Nanhai Soul Instructor Group. The Nanhai Soul Mentor Group that Orange belongs to discovered some time ago that there were shadows of the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group behind these accidents.

The purpose of their trip was to use the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship as bait to lure the Demon Crocodile pirate group into taking the bait.

Although the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce and the Nanhai Soul Engineer Group have the same name, they actually have nothing to do with each other.

In order not to reveal any flaws, Orange did not leak any information to the person in charge of the merchant ship of the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce during this operation.

On the day the merchant ship sets off, the twenty elites of the South China Sea Soul Engineer Group, including her and Captain Yan, will disguise themselves as passengers and sneak into the merchant ship, and then use the Sun Moon Empire's newly developed positioning soul guide to target the South China Sea Soul Engineer Group. The main force reported its exact position. Wait until the Demon Crocodile Pirates take the bait, and then cooperate with the outside to surround and annihilate them.

Of course, the South China Sea Soul Engineer Group took such a big risk to deal with the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group for the benefit of the Yuenan Islands. A senior ninth-level soul engineer from the Sun-Moon Empire recently visited the Yuenan Islands and discovered a large number of rare metal veins in the waters near the Yuenan Islands. There are even some extremely precious rare metal veins.

It is indeed difficult to mine rare metal veins on the seabed, but with the support of the Sun and Moon Empire's advanced soul guidance technology, it is not impossible.

The ninth-level soul engineer informed the ambitious prince Xu Tianran, and Xu Tianran immediately had an idea.

Annihilating the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group is only the first step. His ultimate goal is to completely control the entire Yuenan Islands. The Yuenan Islands have basically escaped the control of the Sun and Moon Empire in recent years. In doing so, he also changed direction and established his authority.

"Wow!" Xu Zihuang stood up in the bathtub, causing a series of water splashes. He was naked, and his overall body lines were extremely soft, his muscles were well-marked, and his smooth skin had a faint sheen like jade. There is also a natural breath of life that makes people want to get close.

The soaked long black hair sticks to the back, and a few strands of purple hair are extremely conspicuous. If it weren't for the obvious muscular outline and tall figure, one might have thought it was a woman from behind.

That fair and flawless skin is enough to make any woman envious.

Xu Zihuang casually picked up the bath towel beside him and wiped his body with a cold snort with deep eyes.

"Xu Tianran."

If there really were high-quality rare metal veins in the waters near the Yuenan Islands, he naturally couldn't let Xu Tianran succeed. Compared to the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group, he was even more unwilling to let Xu Tianran get his wish.

The reason is simple. He can lead Wang Yan and others to destroy the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group at any time. But if Xu Tianran reaches out to the Yuenan Islands, things will become out of control.

Now is not the time for a showdown.

But he doesn't plan to see Orange now. Judging from Orange's special feelings for him, he would definitely advise him not to board the merchant ship heading to Yueshu Island. And he must go to Yueshu Island. With Orange's intelligence, he will be too persistent when the time comes, and one bad move may expose something.

He must be cautious and contain any signs of danger.

Waiting until we board the ship the day after tomorrow, and then deliberately pretending to meet Orange by chance, is the safest plan.

After all, he is still unable to completely trust Orange.

Xu Zihuang was half leaning on the soft and comfortable sofa in the living room. In his perception, Orange began to look at the sea chart alone and meditate again. After the nineteen members of the Nanhai Soul Instructor Group left the Haiyatt Hotel, he lightly pressed a metal button on the desk in front of him.

Not long after, there was a clear ringing of the doorbell from the other side of the door.

The high-end rooms on the top floor of Haiyatt Hotel are equipped with soundproof soul guides. As long as the doors and windows are closed, the sound in the room cannot be transmitted out, and the sound outside the room cannot be transmitted in. Only the doorbell or knocking on the door can be heard, fully protecting the privacy of the guests.

To show respect and courtesy, waiters will generally just ring the doorbell.

This is also the reason why Orange and others dared to discuss the battle plan in the room with confidence.

If Xu Zihuang's mental power was not strong enough, it would be difficult for an ordinary soul master to detect even a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo level.

Xu Zihuang stood up and stepped forward to open the door, which was made of rosewood and had metal partitions inside. Standing outside the door was a pretty girl, wearing the standard white pleated fluffy dress uniformed by the waitress of Mingyue Hotel.

The girl does not have the dark wheat-colored complexion that is common in Haiyue City. Instead, she looks like an inland person.

Seeing Xu Zihuang's appearance, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but quickly lowered her head respectfully, with a blushing face. Even the sound seems to have become much subtler.

"Excuse me, distinguished guest, what are your orders?"

Xu Zihuang calmly took out a gold card with a denomination of one thousand gold soul coins from the storage soul guide, and said calmly: "Go to the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce to buy me a ticket to Yueshu Island. I want the one on the top deck. Room. Preferably close to the deck with a good view. Money is no object.”

"yes."

The girl still had the ability to observe people's emotions. She took the gold card with great obedience, not daring to go any further. She bowed and bowed and exited the room.

The waiter at Haiyue Hotel was very efficient. In less than half an hour, he delivered a jade card with the word "South China Sea" engraved on it and the remaining five hundred gold soul coins.

This jade card is the so-called ship ticket. When boarding the ship, it needs to be verified by a special soul guide, and it cannot be faked.

The price of the boat ticket is five hundred gold soul coins, and three meals a day during the half-month voyage will be provided free of charge. The price is a bit expensive, but considering that there are powerful soul masters and soul masters escorting you along the way, it is relatively reasonable.

Give these to Xu Zihuang, and the girl will stop disturbing him. After that, it was just meal time and sumptuous meals were served on trays.

Xu Zihuang spent more than a day practicing, except for eating.

In the early morning one day later, Xu Zihuang arrived at Riyue Port early. As the largest port in the Sun and Moon Empire, Sun Moon Port was much larger than the Qianling Port he had visited before. Although the sky is still dark, many workers carrying goods and boarding passengers have gathered here. The sound of the waves washing against the coast was mixed with the sound of people, making it quite noisy.

Large cargo ships and passenger ships are anchored in the central area of ​​Riyue Port. The merchant ship of the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce is even more conspicuous.

The length of this merchant ship exceeds 150 meters, and its width is also 60 meters. The tough iron hull was painted iron gray. This iron gray paint was not for decoration, but was mixed with special medicines from some highly toxic plants.

On the one hand, it is to prevent sea creatures such as shells and barnacles from adhering to the bottom of the boat. On the other hand, applying a layer of this special medicine can prevent attacks by sea spirit beasts to a certain extent.

The overall color of the deck is dark blue, which is similar to the color of the sea. The purpose of this is to confuse those seabird soul beasts.

However, most seabird spirit beasts have excellent eyesight. Even so, they often encounter attacks from seabird spirit beasts. Fortunately, there are few strong ones in the sea bird soul beast group, so they are not as big of a threat to sea ships as the sea soul beasts living in the sea.

The iron stairs extend upward from the dock to the wide deck of the merchant ship, at least dozens of meters high.

Two deacons in white from the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce were standing at the bottom of the stairs on both sides checking tickets.

Because Xu Zihuang arrived earlier, he was the only passenger nearby who was preparing to take this huge merchant ship to Yueshu Island.

There was no need for the two deacons to speak, he had already handed over the jade card.

One of the deacons took the card and pasted it on a soul guide that looked like a metal box. The word 'South China Sea' on the jade card suddenly burst into dazzling light.

The deacon then handed the jade card back to Xu Zihuang, then looked at each other and made a welcoming gesture with his companion, smiling warmly.

"Welcome to the Sea Dragon and wish you a pleasant journey."

With a calm expression, Xu Zihuang stepped on the iron steps and walked towards the deck of the Sea Dragon, his mental energy instantly released.

These two deacons in white are both soul masters, but their soul power cultivation levels are only over 20 levels.

There are many deacons like this on the Sea Dragon. The deacons in white are only the lowest level, and they all have the cultivation level of a second-level great soul master. The deacons in yellow and the deacons in purple correspond to the soul master and soul sect respectively.

There was only one butler in black, standing at the front of the deck. Xu Zihuang saw this person as soon as he boarded the deck.

The deacon in black is of medium build and looks to be in his forties. With a gentle smile on his face, it is easy to give people a convincing feeling.

According to Xu Zihuang's perception, this black-clothed deacon is a strong man at the Soul Emperor level. The soul power cultivation level is about sixty-seven.

Hearing Xu Zihuang's steady footsteps, the black-clothed deacon turned around subconsciously. It was not that he discovered Xu Zihuang's released spiritual power, but he was simply curious about the first passenger to board the ship.

Looking at Xu Zihuang, whose eyes were deep and his breath was calm, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly in good faith.

Two more white-clothed deacons on the deck came forward and led Xu Zihuang towards the room on the top floor of the deck. The merchant ship has seven floors in total, two floors below the deck and five floors above the deck.

Seeing the jade card in Xu Zihuang's hand, the two deacons knew that Xu Zihuang had purchased a ticket for the top room on the deck, and their attitudes became even more enthusiastic.

Five hundred gold soul coins is not a small number for ordinary people and low-level soul masters. Xu Zihuang looks so young, and his appearance and temperament are so outstanding. At first glance, he is from an extraordinary family. It's always good to have a good relationship.

As time passed, more and more people boarded the merchant ships.

At this time, a woman wearing an orange-red dress and a straw hat came to the deck. She glanced around inadvertently from the corner of her eye, and her heart was trembling.

It's orange.

Counting her, a total of twenty people disguised their identities and successfully sneaked into the merchant ship. Although each of them has at least the ability of a fifth-level soul engineer or above, this task is still arduous and dangerous.

She also purchased a ticket to the top room on the deck.

The environment on the ship is certainly not as good as a hotel in the city. The area of ​​each room on the top deck is only about forty square meters. The bedroom is equipped with a separate bathroom. But it is clean and tidy. Looking through the crystal window next to the bed, it has a unique flavor.

Xu Zihuang stood by the crystal window and watched Orange walking towards him.

As luck would have it, Orange's room was right opposite him. Their rooms were at the end of the walkway near the bow. Exiting the walkway is an area similar to a balcony, blocked by a fence. Below in front of you is the deck of the Sea Dragon that is comparable to the size of the Soul Fighting Platform.

More than an hour has passed and the departure is approaching. Passengers who have not yet boarded the ship will not wait any longer.

"Rumble--" The iron stairs were put away by a group of deacons from the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce. The leading deacon in black mobilized his soul power and spread the sound to every corner of the Hailong.

"Handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies. My name is Ruan Xinghai, and I am the person in charge of this Sea Dragon. On behalf of the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce, I welcome you all. I have something to say in front of you. Ocean sailing means taking risks, I believe you should be mentally prepared in advance. But you don’t have to worry too much. Now that we are on board the Sea Dragon, we will do our best to ensure everyone’s safety. For this reason, our South China Sea Chamber of Commerce has specially dispatched fifty deacons, The Sea Dragon is also equipped with many powerful soul guides. Please relax and enjoy this wonderful journey for the time being."

As soon as Ruan Xinghai said this, he received compliments from all the passengers on the deck.

"Deacon Ruan is too modest. We must trust the ability of the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce. With the escort of all the deacons, there will definitely be no problems on this trip."

"Yes, we boarded this ship because we trusted the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce."

"Deacon Ruan is too candid. As far as I know, there seems to have never been an accident among the merchant ships of the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce."

"..."

Listening to everyone's compliments, Ruan Xinghai felt a little helpless. Going deep into the sea, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents at all?

But he certainly won't show it now. As the person in charge of the Sea Dragon, he must act confidently. Otherwise, once attacked by a sea soul beast, it would be extremely easy to cause panic and cause casualties in the panic.

Then he took a deep breath, waved his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Pull out anchor and set sail!"

With an order, the Hailong officially set off.

The weather today is nice and calm. After weighing anchor, under the joint control of the deacons of the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce, the sails flapped with the wind and sailed out of the port easily, heading towards the depths of the southern sea.

After two hours of sailing, the coastline had disappeared from sight, and some timid passengers who were afraid of being attacked by sea spirit beasts returned to their rooms.

Feeling something, Xu Zihuang stood up and walked out of the room, and the door of the opposite room opened at the same time.

Xu Zihuang and Orange met each other's eyes, and both saw the look of astonishment in the other's eyes.

Of course, Xu Zihuang's surprise was deliberately pretended.

"Tangerine-senpai?!"

"Tianhuang?!"

"Why are you here?!"
