The night in the South Sea was so quiet that not a single speck of dust could be seen.
A few figures treaded on the waves as the monsoon blew across the sea. Among the four were a monk in a monastic robe, two Taoists with swords on their backs, and a scholar in a snow-white robe. Their attire did not resemble that of the modern era, and there was a hint of an ancient style to them.
Fortunately, it was night and no one was walking on the coast. If anyone saw these people riding the waves and riding the wind, it was likely that the South Sea Morning Post would be bustling with noise and excitement the next day.
The expressions of the four were all hurried as their eyebrows jumped. They looked as if they were about to face a great enemy.
The Daoist leading them from the left looked around and then said with a cold voice, "That's strange, we have been chasing them all this way. How come the beast disappeared the moment we got to the interior?"
The monk standing to the side chuckled, he reached out to remove a purple sand bead from his bosom and said: "Fellow Daoist He need not be impatient, once this old monk uses my Putaoshan's great buddhist arts to look for it, we will know!"
The Daoist said: "Then thank you, Master Spiritual Treasure!"
As he spoke, the monk flicked his wrist, and a string of prayer beads flew into the air. The golden buddhist light illuminated the entire South Sea and the entire city was covered in buddhist light.
Seeing this supernatural ability, the scholar at the side spread the fan in his hands and laughed out loud. "Everyone says that the Putaoshan shines golden light everywhere, and there's no place for a monster to hide.
Hearing the scholar's boast, the monk was elated, and laughed: "Fellow Daoist Mo is so generous! "Too much, too much!"
Originally, Monk Ling-bao wanted to show off, but very quickly he became stupefied. Golden light shined everywhere and he was not able to sense any Spirit Demon Qi, which made Monk Ling-bao feel very awkward.
"How could that be? How could there be no traces at all? Could it be that this monster can fly into the sky and escape into the ground?" Monk Ling-bao muttered to himself, he felt disgraced, the sacred art that was just boasted about was useless, it was just a slap on his face.
Another cultivator among the four let out a faint smile and said, "Master must have worked hard the entire way, so please accept this spell and see how good my spiritual vulture mountain is."
When the Daoist Priest spoke, Monk Ling-bao felt even more embarrassed. He just humphed lightly, but it was not good to flare up. He dejectedly retracted his buddhist golden light.
When the cultivator saw this, he was overjoyed. He took out a magic tool. This item was a circular pointer, and it was very small and small.
The Daoist Priest lightly pointed his finger and shouted, "Stop!"
The pointer in the circular disc quickly rotated. The Daoist man had a complacent look on his face, while the other three quietly watched from the sidelines. However, the good news did not last long. This Daoist man's magic tool had rotated countless times without stopping. He was truly anxious.
The Great Monk Spiritual Treasure looked at the Taoist with a gloating expression and laughed: "Legend has it that this old monk had wanted to take a look at the Fierce Demon Needle of the Spirit Eagles Mountain. I didn't expect that my reputation would really be worse than seeing it again! "It seems like this magic tool is not reliable either. It might as well not be as reliable as this old monk's golden light."
The Monk Ling-bao must be a vengeful person. Just now, the Daoist had shamed him, and not long ago, he had already started using a tooth for a tooth, without any shame for a family member. Annoyed and angry, a single word of displeasure couldn't escape him.
The Taoist's face turned purple, he kept his magical equipment and pointed at Monk Ling-bao: "Old bald donkey, how dare you look down on my Spirit Vulture Mountain Immortal Technique? Come, come, come, let's have a showdown and verify this! "
Seeing that the Daoist was provoking him, the monk was not to be outdone. He took out the prayer beads in his hands and said, "Alright, this is not bad, since when was my Putaoshan inferior to others?"
A group of cultivators were about to make a move against this disagreement.
Seeing how tense the situation was, Daoist He and the white-clothed scholar at the side hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"I say, Master Spiritual Treasure, Fellow Daoist Lei, please do not cause trouble. The four of us are respectively from the Spirit Vulture Mountain, the Sword Rain Peak, the Putaoshan, and the Carefree Sect. It has been sixty years since we sealed the Golden Demon Island, and right now, sixty years have passed since then. We don't want the evildoer from Golden Demon Island to appear again, so we should be united and take down the demons, not fighting in this place. "
Immediately after, Scholar Mo spoke again: "If my deduction is correct, then the Evil Animal who was fleeing from us should be the princess of Golden Demon Island. If he could successfully capture her this time, then negotiate with the Nine-tailed Demon Fox on the island, he would be able to ensure the stability of his Dao Sect for a hundred years. If I let her go, then everything will be in ruins, and there will be no end to this calamity! "
Spirit Master He also chimed in, "Brother Mo is right, now is not the time for us to fight to the death. Fellow Daoists, please focus on the overall situation with your Dao Sect, don't let this evil genius run rampant!"
No matter if it was the Monk Ling-bao s of Putaoshan or the cultivators of the Spirit Eagles Mountain, they were both just words to play. If they really wanted to fight, it would truly be quite difficult. Now, with the Sword Rain Peak and the two men from the Carefree Sect mediating, this matter had passed.
Monk Ling-bao only snorted at the Taoist, but his chubby face still remained at a loss.
Turning his head, the Monk Ling-bao spoke to the white robed scholar, "Brother Mo, within the Carefree Sect, you claim to have a method to destroy the world. Now that all our treasures and divine abilities have failed, what do you think we should do next?"
Monk Ling-bao kicked the ball towards the white-clothed scholar.
The white-clothed scholar muttered to himself for a while. He opened the folding fan in his hand and pretended to be at ease, "That Demon Fox was pincushioned by the four of us and is already severely injured. I think we must find the male Yang Yuan to heal and cultivate. According to my calculations, she definitely won't let go of this bustling South Sea. With the current situation, Master Spiritual Treasure and I will stay in the Southern Ocean and continue to investigate the whereabouts of that demon. We will also have to trouble the two Fellow Daoist s to head towards the Kunlun. There are countless monsters within the Golden Demon Island, and it would be hard for us, the Rogue Cultivator s of the other nations, to fight against them. The world is the orthodox, and originally, it was a family.
The white-clothed scholar's words were noble and righteous, and the other three people nodded in agreement.
"Since that's the case, we shall act according to Brother Mo's words. We will split up and act accordingly!"
As he spoke, the two Daoists turned to the chief, and said: "There's no time to lose, we'll go first, and wait until we notify the Four Great Hidden Gate, then we'll come back to help the two of you eliminate that demon!"
Monk Ling-bao did not say anything. He only chanted a Buddhist prayer and said: "Amitabha!"
As for the white-clothed scholar, he put away his folding fan and cupped his hands. "I hope that the two Fellow Daoist will be careful when handing the heavy burden to the two Fellow Daoist s. I hope the two Fellow Daoist can leave early and return early!"
"Farewell!"
In but an instant, the two Daoists transformed into two tornados as they fled towards a distance of a thousand miles away.
As he watched the two leave, the smile on the white-clothed scholar's face suddenly became gloomy and playful.
Monk Ling-bao was a real person, he sighed and said, "Brother Mo, in this South Sea, it might not be big, but it is definitely not small. It is easier said than done to find the hiding place of that demon, does Brother Mo have any good ideas?"
The white-clothed scholar smiled faintly, and revealed a confident expression: "Master Spiritual Treasure, you should rest assured inside your stomach. "After that monster ate a Soulsearch Needle from my Carefree Sect, I revealed her true form. As long as that Soulsearch Needle is still there, I can feel even the ends of the earth!"
The Great Monk Spiritual Treasure hissed coldly. It was stunned for a moment before it asked curiously, "Hiss, since Brother Mo has such a great ability, why did you send the two of them to go to the great inland Hidden Gate to seek help?"
The white-clothed scholar laughed complacently, "Master is truly a sincere person. Even though the four of us are also in charge of guarding the Golden Demon Island, our Putaoshan does not enter the sect for many years, so Xiao Yao Sect is also a Rogue Cultivator out of this world. He Tianqi and Lei Hai are both of Dao Sect, if they were to capture the little princess of Golden Demon Island, her stomach would definitely be ripped open, and with the Blood Sacrifice Flag, my Southern Ocean Rogue Cultivator line would never have another peaceful day! The two of them can still use Dao Sect to protect themselves, but I'm afraid that we will die without a burial ground. "
The white-clothed scholar turned his head to face the sea, his eyes calm. It was as if he could already see the surging waves beneath the azure sea.
Monk Ling-bao also nodded his head in agreement after hearing what the white-clothed scholar said.
— —
As for He Tianqi and Lei Hai who had just left, they returned halfway through their journey.
"Fellow Daoist He, why aren't you leaving?" Lei Hai asked.
He Tianqi laughed coldly, "Fellow Daoist Lei, do we seem to have fallen into a trap?"
"Trapped?" Where did Fellow Daoist He come up with this? " Lei Hai did not understand.
Moreover, he has a treasure like the Soulsearch Needle in his possession, but facing a mere three-tailed Demon Fox today, he actually allowed us to go to the inland Hidden Gate to receive information. "You are clearly going to abandon the two of us and act alone?"
Lei Hai's brain capacity was obviously not as big as He Tianqi's, so he asked foolishly: "This doesn't make sense, why would he do that?"
He Tianqi laughed coldly once again, "Fellow Daoist Lei, in this world, you have only invited a name. His Walkabout Sect has always been an overseas Rogue Cultivator, and is not part of the orthodox sects. It has been squeezed out by our sects for hundreds of years. Now, if he could capture a princess with his Golden Demon Island, his identity would be vastly different. At that time, if his Carefree Sect took the opportunity to hold a Demon Slaying Assembly and went to watch the ceremony, his status would definitely skyrocket. "At that time, I'm afraid that our Spirit Vultures Mountain and Sword Rain Peak in the South Sea will no longer be able to suppress his Carefree Sect!"
Lei Hai was furious, and said: "Lifeless Buddha, I never thought that he, Mo Daozong, would have such a malicious heart.
"Fellow Daoist He, where do you think the two of us should go now?" Lei Hai retorted again.
He Tianqi laughed indifferently: "That is easy to do, the two of us will immediately return and follow behind Mo Daozong and Monk Ling-bao, and take the chance to do as we see fit. We cannot let the Little Princess of Golden Demon Island fall into Mo Daozong's hands, if not, with the rise of the Xiao Yao Sect, there will be no place for us outside the Southern Sea Region! "
"Alright, this Poverty-stricken People will follow whatever this Fellow Daoist says!"
