Following the direction of the middle-aged man's gaze, ten kilometers away, on the shore, a beacon could be seen rising into the air.

The middle-aged man knew that the place where the smoke rose was the destination of his journey. There were people waiting to receive him there.

"You can return to your normal route. I'll go over by myself." As the middle-aged man spoke, he put on the black veil and bamboo hat on his head, covering his face.

The captain was stunned.

There was still ten miles to go before they reached the coast. How could a single person get there?

Did he have to row the boat himself? However, it was late at night and the waves were strong and the wind was strong. It was very dangerous to not be able to drive a boat well enough. And if this big shot of the Secret Sect were to meet with trouble at sea, then his merchant ship would be in trouble in the future when it went to Java …

Just as the captain was about to open his mouth to persuade him, the middle-aged man leapt off the bow of the ship and into the sea.

"Peak Master!"

The captain's face turned pale with fright as he hurriedly looked down.

And at that moment, the captain's face froze, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

It was a scene he would never forget.

The middle-aged man stepped on the sea waves as if he was walking on flat land. Riding on the wind and breaking the waves, he left a long white trail in the direction of the shore.

It was midnight.

On the shore of Dunning County in Fujian Province, a group of people were camped where the smoke from the beacons was rising.

Zhu Zheng stood on the beach with his hands behind his back, looking at the pitch-black sea in the distance and slightly frowning.

"If this continues, then we'll be in trouble since that baldy Han brought people here. After all, Dunning County is not our territory.

Standing beside Zhu Zheng, the sage-like Great Master Jiang impatiently nodded his head.

"Yes, the head Protector of the Secret Sect, Dai Sanfeng, wrote a letter yesterday saying that he would be arriving in Minzhou today and wanted us to help him. In the end, it's almost midnight, so why isn't he here yet? "

When Zhu Zheng and Grandmaster Jiang received the news that the head guard Dai Sanfeng would arrive in Minzhou the next day, they rushed over early and arrived at the coast of Dunning County before noon.

He had been waiting until midnight, but there was still no sign of him. He was naturally worried.

Especially for Zhu Zheng, his relationship with Han Qing, the head of the Dining County Jianghu [1], was very bad. As for him, he was leading his men to the prefectural city of Dunning and was even lighting up the beacons with great fanfare. He might even cause some misunderstandings and a bloodbath and lose his men for nothing.

Grandmaster Jiang harrumphed in dissatisfaction.

"I think this secret sect is too unreliable."

"Chang Shang sent one previously, claiming that he was no match for a hundred people. In the end, he did not even manage to injure Yao Tianhao's hair. Now that this Dai Sanfeng was here, he couldn't even keep up with the time. If the rules of the sect are not strict, then it is no wonder that the Tang Emperor had chased the Secret Sect out of the Middle Earth. "

Zhu Zheng smiled awkwardly, not daring to comment.

Although grandmaster Jiang was defeated by Ye Qing, he was also a person who had profound cultivation skills and was able to control ghosts and gods. As for Dai Sanfeng, who he had yet to meet, he was the head protector of the Secret Faction in the overseas territories. Both sides were not people he could afford to offend.

Just then, on the sea not far from the shore, a lackey of Zhu Zheng's gang, who was standing on a raft and watching from the sidelines, shouted loudly, "Coming, coming! Something seems to be approaching us! "

"A big boat or a small boat?" Zhu Zheng asked when he heard this.
