Chapter 235.
In Zhou An’s eyes, this group of Indulgent Protectors were already no different from eleven corpses.
Those who were vertical, all had to die.
There was a deadly enmity between the two sides, and when they met, there was only death for you and death for me, there was no third way.
The eleven Protectors couldn’t help but wince when they felt the fury on Zhou An’s body, and a look of fear appeared in their eyes.
Don’t look at the fact that they had bargained with Zhou An when they were in the Creepy Village, but that was in the Creepy Village.
Inside, they were not going to die with the scarecrow identities they were using.
And now, they would die, and they would die a horrible death.
The Protectors, inside the Verticality, were considered high level.
They knew very well that in front of Zhou An, there was no possibility of surviving.
Begging for mercy?
It was just living for a while longer, there was no difference.
By the time Zhou An got what he wanted the most, their lives would be at an end, not far from death.
“Kill! Kill him!” One of the Protectors shouted.
After surviving was no longer possible, they chose to fight to the death, at least there was a chance.
After this Protector shouted these words, the other Protectors, one after another, struck out at Zhou An.
They knew very well that the effect was better than nothing, or even ineffective.
Even Creepy Village had fallen into Zhou An’s hands, let alone them, and it was probably just delaying their deaths.
All sorts of attacks shot towards Zhou An, carrying a terrifying power.
The power of eleven Tongling Realms striking out in unison was certainly considerable, although it was not as much as one percent of Gui Village’s, but it was no problem to deal with an ordinary Tongling Realm.
Unfortunately, what they had encountered was Zhou An.
“Since you guys would rather die than surrender, let’s kill them all.”
Zhou An didn’t even make a move with his sword.
This was because after the verticals struck out, Black Jade struck out.
The six Eight Extreme Techniques let out a terrifying light, intermingling with each other to produce a harmonious yet strange feeling.
“It’s the Eight Extreme Techniques, or six of them!”
A protector recognized it and couldn’t help but cry out in shock, the horror on his face magnified without limit.
It wasn’t just him, the others were the same, all looking at Black Jade with shocked faces.
Verticality, itself, was the majority of the miscellaneous sects, and they could certainly tell at a glance, the number of Eight Extreme Techniques in Black Jade’s body.
Especially now, Black Jade did not hold back and issued a deadly attack.
In the next moment, the expressions of the Protectors, stopped on their faces.
Wherever the Eight Extreme Techniques passed, it was like the transit of locusts, carrying an unrivaled might, as if a black hole was devouring light.
The attacks of the eleven Protectors were not even as good as the light of a firefly under the might of the six Eight Extreme Techniques.
In just a matter of moments, the eleven Protectors in front of them had all turned into corpses.
When the Eight Extreme Techniques rolled through once more, there weren’t even any corpses left.
At this point, Black Jade had well inherited Zhou An’s fine tradition of not leaving a whole body.
Zhou An stroked his chin and tried to once again extrapolate the clues that there was about verticality, still utilizing the Eight Tricks of Arithmetic.
But the results were not there.
“Having solved eleven guardians, and all of them are still at the Tongling realm, the people of Indulgence, I’m afraid they just can’t wait to eat me alive.”
Zhou An Xin thought to himself, “But it doesn’t matter, between me and them, we are originally mortal enemies.”
It had all become a life and death enemy, Zhou An didn’t care, just kill them when they came.
By now, things had come to an end, and Zhou An began to take stock of the harvest.
This time, all those what secrets were trivial, but it was just a secret about why the first leader of the Verticality came.
Zhou An was just listening to it as a story, rather than taking it seriously and not bothering about it.
What was harvested the most was instead the Hundred Skills of the Miscellaneous Sect.
Although it wasn’t something that Zhou An had directly harvested, the Miscellaneous Sect Hundred Skills’ enhancement to the Black Jade could be considered tremendous.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Black Jade would most likely be able to realize that there was a method regarding the Eight Extreme Techniques from the Hundred Techniques of the Miscellaneous Doors was already a great enhancement.
Although this method, may not necessarily be able to realize it, but one must try, after all, there is an eventuality in everything.
With this thought in mind, Zhou An held Black Jade’s hand and walked towards the Zhen Gui Si.
After leaving this wilderness and returning to the Zhen Gui Si, Zhou An talked to He Sheng about the things.
Especially the matter of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Zhou An hadn’t gone to see the follow up of the Heavenly Sword Sect because he had to hunt down and kill the verticality, and it was reasonable to leave it to the Zhen Gui Si to deal with now.
After He Sheng heard Zhou An say this, he immediately said that he would set off immediately to take care of this matter.
Zhou An didn’t say anything and left the Zhen Gui Division, returning home.
“Black Jade, you can try and see if you can realize the Eight Extreme Techniques from the Hundred Techniques of the Miscellaneous Sect.” Zhou An said.
At this moment, Black Jade was about to go to the chair to play, and when he heard Zhou An say that, he suddenly froze.
Afterward, Black Jade muttered in a low voice, “Is it important?”
Zhou An nodded, “It’s important.”
There was nothing wrong with his statement, it was indeed something very important, not only to him, but equally important to Black Jade.
Not to mention anything else, Black Jade’s own strength hardening up would also be beneficial to herself.
Strength, was the root of everything, without the slightest bit of falsehood.
Everything Zhou An had nowadays was exchanged for his own strength.
Imagine, if there was no strength, I’m afraid that he is now, still nestled in the Settlement County.
So Zhou An for the black jade to enhance strength, that is quite important, enough to be comparable to liver proficiency.
Black Jade was also rarely seen, seeing Zhou An showing such a solemn expression, a small face, similarly showing a serious expression.
“Got it!”
She nodded her head vigorously, indicating that she would definitely work hard.
“Then let’s begin.” Zhou An stroked Black Jade’s head and said with a smile.
Black Jade let out a cry, sat down on the chair, furrowed her brows, and began to think carefully.
Zhou An also didn’t bother with her, but patiently livered up the proficiency of Reading a Thousand Scrolls.
This night, nothing happened, everything was normal.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, many days had passed.
For so many days, Zhou An’s liver hadn’t stopped, living a very regular life every day.
Eat, liver proficiency, eat again ……
And the same was true for Black Jade.
Don’t look at Black Jade’s foolishness, but in front of what Zhou An valued, Black Jade valued it equally.
Every day, Black Jade seriously delved into the Hundred Techniques of the Miscellaneous Doors without the slightest bit of slacking off.
Not to mention, although the eight stunts were not drilled out, but a part of the hundred skills of miscellaneous doors, Black Jade really learned, and has also been integrated.
Regarding Black Jade’s talent, Zhou An would probably be envious of it if he wasn’t hung over.
It was worth mentioning that the Heavenly Sword Sect was, nowadays, considered to have completely fallen out of favor.
After He Sheng went to the Heavenly Sword Sect, just a simple nudge told him what the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Master Qin had done.
Regarding this kind of death-defying behavior, He Sheng said that it was quite normal, and there was absolutely no need to worry about the follow-up.
A power that wasn’t close to the Zhen Gui Si would not care if it didn’t mess up normally.
However, if they were to commit suicide themselves, it would be their own business.
Regarding these, Zhou An was indifferent and continued to liver proficiency.
And after so many days of furiously livering, Reading a Thousand Scrolls had also improved a great deal and gained a harvest.
In front of Zhou An’s eyes, a line of smoke appeared, and after the smoke appeared, it gradually transformed into a line of text that was presented in front of Zhou An.
[Read Thousand Scrolls lv.7 (Spirit +10, Understanding +10, Bounce +10): 1/120000]
[Storage Proficiency: 60,000/80,000]
The entire 120,000 proficiency was finished by Zhou An’s frantic liver, bringing a level 7 increase in Reading a Thousand Scrolls.
And the storage proficiency gained, through conversion, reached the standard of 60,000 points.
With just another twenty thousand points of proficiency, Zhou An would be able to use the stored proficiency and add it to other skills.
Of course, another portion of the air body villain, was filled with air, and Zhou An was getting closer and closer to the Passage Realm.
“Hoo……” Zhou An let out a long breath, letting his taut nerves relax, slightly soothing.
The Liver Emperor was all about this moment, the feeling of gaining, and the rewards of giving, brought about a great sense of exhilaration.
“Now that I’ve reached level seven in another skill, I’m getting closer and closer to the Tongling Realm.”
Zhou An rested just a little bit, and began to grasp at what he should upgrade for his next skill.
In front of Zhou An’s eyes, smoke reappeared and finally coalesced into a text that transformed into Zhou An’s latest attribute panel.
[Potentate’s Blade Technique lv.7 (Speed +10, Accuracy +10, Sharpness +10): 1/120000]
[Potentate’s Town Technique lv.7 (Strength +10, Destruction +10, Seal +10): 1/120000]
[Flying Dragon Body lv.6 (Speed +8, Dodge +8, Flight +8): 1/100000]
[Cast Self Body lv. 7 (Hardness +10, Fusion +10, Defense +10): 1/120000]
[Read a Thousand Scrolls lv. 7 (Spirit +10, Understanding +10, Bounce +10): 1/120000]
[Rising Winds and Waves lv.6 (Wateriness +8, Water Control +8, Healing +8): 1/100000]
[Healing Compulsion lv.6 (Healing +8, Toxicity +8, Poison Penetration +8): 1/100000]
[Clairvoyance lv.6 (Detection +8, Illusion Breaking +8, Range +8):1/100000]
Holy Spirit Magic Body lv.7 (Purification +10, Dispel +10, Might +10):1/120000]
[Bagua Arithmetic lv.7 (Precision +10, Deduction +10, Formation +10):1/120000]
[Storage Proficiency: 60,000/80,000]
Looking at the skills in front of him, Zhou An fell into deep thought, his heart flooded with dyslexia.
He now, had four skills left that were only at level six, and the Air Body Villain, only the air in his legs was left unfilled.
When two skills reached level seven, he would be able to unlock a leg, and when all the skills reached level seven, he himself would be able to successfully reach the Tongling realm.
“I only have one way to go now, and that is to liver one skill, and then use it to add another one after the stored proficiency reaches full, using the fastest speed to make a full improvement.”
Zhou An arrived at the method after just a little bit of careful thought.
Nowadays, the only four remaining skills were the Medical Compulsion Seed, Flying Dragon Body Technique, Xingfengzhu Wave, and Thousand Mile Sight.
Zhou An decided to try Xing Feng Zhuo Lang after thinking about it slightly, and did not think about the other three skills for the time being.
This skill, the front attributes were watery plus water control respectively, which would allow him to control the flow of water and to exert greater strength in the water.
As for the healing attribute at the back, that was a new attribute that appeared subsequently, allowing him to utilize the water current for injury healing.
To put it more fiercely, if in a place where there was no water, Zhou An was hurt, he could heal himself by controlling the water to make a water current.
And if he was in a place where there was water, it would be even more fierce, he would jump directly into the water, and even the heaviest injuries could be recovered very quickly.
So the usefulness of this skill was actually very great, it could increase his combat power as well as give himself a strong recovery ability.
“But the question arises, how to liver?” Zhou An stroked his chin.
He also remembered that the skill on the previous level was to carve out a dragon by controlling water, and the more alive it was, the closer it would be to the hurdle of improving proficiency.
Zhou An felt that he might be able to give it a try and see if he could raise the proficiency level.
Thinking of this, Zhou An did not ink, and came to the pool in the backyard of the room.
Here, it was already filled with water.
After all, it was a house given by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and the various furnishings in here were still placed as Zhou An had originally placed them when he was in the Tingyun Mansion.
In this regard, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was very knowledgeable and understood what to do to make Zhou An comfortable.
Zhou An lifted his right hand, operated the air in his body, and cast Xing Feng Zhuo Lang.
After Zhou An cast it, a ball of water emerged from inside the pool and continuously coalesced into shapes in mid-air.
Zhou An began to try to carve a dragon, just like the usual method.
Soon, a water dragon appeared out of thin air and floated in mid-air.
This water dragon was only a meter long, looked small, and was very vague.
There was only a rough outline, and it didn’t even have dragon scales or eyes, just like a snake.
Zhou An began to concentrate on carving it.
First the dragon’s eyes, then the dragon’s scales, and finally the dragon’s claws.
Before long, a lifelike water dragon took shape in Zhou An’s hands.
However, when this water dragon took shape, the expected proficiency did not rise, nothing appeared, the surroundings were calm.
“There’s no smoke, and there’s no words, it seems my method was wrong.” Zhou An looked at the situation in front of him and pondered in his heart.
This situation, it was obvious that a new method was needed to liver proficiency.
“Then what method should I use, in order to liver proficiency?” Zhou An looked at the water dragon in front of him and thought in his heart.
He started gradually working on the way to liver from the Pot Zhen method, thinking of a new method.
According to Zhou An’s thoughts, it must have something to do with the attributes at the back, after all, the Pot Zhen Method was just like that, and one needed to improve the sealing attributes at the back in order to improve proficiency.
“Water-based and Water Control, are no longer enough, then I should turn my attention, to the attribute of Healing.”
Soon, Zhou An had an idea and decided to try the attribute of healing.
Of course, the attempt of this attribute was not difficult to say, nor was it simple to say.
Since it was healing, one would need to have an injury first in order to get the healing attribute correspondingly.
Thinking about this, Zhou An raised his right hand, and the Gold Transformation Ring twisted for a while.
Not long after, a long knife appeared in Zhou An’s hand.
Without hesitation, Zhou An gently placed the long knife in his hand and a thin wound appeared.
When the wound appeared, a stream of water appeared in mid-air, wrapping the entire wound in Zhou An’s hand.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the wound began to gradually shrink, and in just the blink of an eye, this wound was restored as before.
“It still hasn’t risen upwards.”
Zhou An looked at the empty mid-air and frowned, realizing that something wasn’t quite right.
This method didn’t work, so that meant that Xingfeng Zhenwang wasn’t suitable for the Potentate Zhenfa’s method of ascension.
He needed a different method.
After Zhou An pondered a little, he had a new plan and decided not to make things difficult for himself.
“Finding someone in the line who is familiar with water might be more effective.” Zhou An thought to himself.
It was the same old story, when difficulties arose from reading a thousand scrolls, then go find a reader.
Now the wind and waves have problems, then go to find people familiar with the water, the profession has specialization.
Zhou An made up his mind, looked at this time the color of the day is still early, so also seize the time, directly out of the door.
Since it is to find people, or to find people in the industry, then the town of Gui Si is a very good channel.
I’m a Sijing, and it makes sense to check out some people through the Zhen Gui Si.
“Black Jade, let’s go, don’t think about it, go out and change your mood.”
Zhou An greeted.
Black Jade was still meditating, after hearing Zhou An’s words, he immediately smiled happily and bounced to Zhou An.
Combining work and rest, Zhou An took Black Jade and walked towards the Zhen Gui Si.
On the way, no other problems arose, and before long, Zhou An arrived at the Zhen Gui Si.
All the way up, Zhou An found He Sheng on the second floor and explained his needs.
He Sheng was also slightly surprised, but quickly reacted and said that he would immediately go and check.
The reason why he reacted so quickly was actually quite normal, as he was already numb.
Lord Zhou’s work was all about jumping the gun, and there was bound to be a reason for what happened.
Anyway, ever since Lord Zhou came to Huaixi Capital and led the Zhen Gui Si to make a lot of achievements, He Sheng had already unconditionally believed in Zhou An and carried out Zhou An’s orders.
“It’s quite a coincidence that Lord Zhou is looking for people in trades related to waterborne sex, that’s quite a coincidence, there happen to be quite a few people in similar trades in Huaixi Jing.”
He Sheng explained, “The most famous of them are none other than the Yang family of water merchants, Lord Zhou can go to the Yang family to take a look.”
Water merchant, was the line of miscellaneous doors.
And this line of work is actually a refined branch, the line above the water merchants are merchants.
The so-called water merchants, do the industry related to water, even fishing fishing, all belong to the category of water merchants.
As long as it was profitable and water related, the water merchants would go and get involved.
“Yang family, it seems like it’s not a chamber of commerce, it’s a family.” Zhou An stroked his chin and said.
With regards to these families, Zhou An actually understood, what Yu Hang was currently doing was related to these families.
These families, for the establishment of the Great Chu Kingdom, did give something, but nowadays, quite a few of them had started to turn around and embezzle the people’s benefits.
They hadn’t done much, but the accumulation of small amounts had become a lot.
And the chambers of commerce, including the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, would be very facetious, leaving them some channels to seek benefits.
It couldn’t be helped, having developed to this point, this was already an unspoken rule.
“My lord, the Yang family has traditionally been close to the Zhen Gui Si, and it’s different from the families that Lord Yu has encountered.”
He Sheng slowly said, “The Yang family, has an official position in the imperial court, as to why it is a water merchant …… Lord naturally understands.”
Understand?
Zhou An certainly understands.
If he heard here and still did not understand, he would not have sat in this position.
These days, it’s not just the land that has a good economy and wealth, there is just as much wealth on the water.
The Yang family is close to the Zhen Gui Si, and there are still official positions in the imperial court, so the problem is simple, this Yang family, may secretly be the family that is in charge of the water merchants in Huai Xi Jing for the Great Chu Kingdom.
There were actually many situations like this, none of which were as simple as they appeared.
“In that case, I will go and take a look first.” Zhou An said.
What relationship they had with the Great Chu Kingdom, Zhou An didn’t want to bother about, he only wanted to find out there were methods of raising the wind and waves now.
Thinking about this, Zhou An did not stay long and left the Zhen Gui Si with Black Jade, heading towards the location of the Yang Family.
The Yang Family was a large family in Huai Xi Jing, so naturally, they would not live in a remote place, but in a prosperous place.
On this journey, the closer the Yang Family got, the more prosperous the surrounding atmosphere became.
When Zhou An arrived at the entrance of the Yang Family, he stopped at the entrance and looked at the plaque above.
“It’s quite expansive.” Zhou An thought.
At the entrance, two family members were guarding there, straightening their backs.
This was not like the small clans inside the county, the family guards guarding the doorway were all at the level of second-rate experts.
Seemingly sensing that someone was coming, the two guards looked over in Zhou An’s direction.
After they saw that it was Zhou An, their entire body was as stiff as a log, standing stiffly in place.
Everyone was a member of the trade, even if they were just house guards, they knew what Zhou An was.
In the Jianghu, there was almost no one who did not recognize Zhou An’s portrait.
“Zhou …… Lord Zhou, why have you come over?”
The leading houseguest said in astonishment.
On top of that, he carried a respectful attitude.
There was no way not to be respectful, after all, standing in front of them, was Zhou An, the man who had suppressed the entire Jianghu.
That man had come, did they dare to be disrespectful?
When Zhou An saw the appearance of the household servants, he also knew in his heart that it must be because of himself that this two household servants were so restrained.
“No need to care.”
Zhou An waved his hand and said, “Inform me, just say that I want to meet your Yang Family Master.”
When the house-elder heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then revealed a difficult expression.
This expression was quickly captured by Zhou An, sensing the abnormality.
“This is something.”
Zhou An thought to himself.
As expected, just as he thought this, one of the family members stood out in embarrassment.
“Lord Zhou, this matter is really unfortunate, the family head is running a business and is currently still on the Huaixi River, so he has not returned.”
The family man said in a difficult manner, “It is estimated that there will be another three to five days before the family master will return.”
Running merchants, was something that merchants often did, and water merchants were the same.
It was just that what the water merchants ran, was the waterway.
It was actually quite normal.
Some people liked to go on dry roads, some people liked to go on muddy roads.
Each had their own good points.
Zhou An also didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing.
After a little thought, he asked, “Are there any other experts in water merchants?”
Since he was asking about something related to water, it wasn’t necessarily necessary to go to the Yang Family’s Family Master, any other expert would be the same.
Who knew that after Zhou An said this, the look of embarrassment on the householder’s face increased.
“This time, the merchant goods are very important, so many of the family’s experts, have also accompanied along.”
The family man shook his head and smiled bitterly, “My lord, it’s better to wait for three to five days, there are no half-truths in what we said.”
Of course there were no false words.
The entire Yang Family, under Zhou An’s Clairvoyance, could be said to be unobstructed.
Zhou An could sense that there weren’t many people inside, it was very empty and out of place with the appearance of a large family.
“Alright, I’ll just wait for three to five days and come back.”
Zhou An said and turned to leave.
It was only three to five days, one could afford to wait, and it was just as well, taking advantage of these few days, to go to the Zhen Gui Si to see if there was any new information to learn about, which would be beneficial to him.
The world was changing so much, the information was naturally changing all the time, Zhou An could just take advantage of the gaps.
Thinking about this, Zhou An directly turned around and left.
The two house guards looked at Zhou An’s back as he left, and breathed a sigh of relief in unison, only to realize that on the other’s forehead, sweat had long been covering them.
The pressure was too much, after all, the one facing Zhou An, it would be a lie not to have pressure.
Zhou An’s side, once again returned to the Zhen Gui Si.
On the other hand, on a river far away from Huai Xi Jing, a dozen or so huge and incomparable merchant ships were traveling on the river.
On the surface of the river, an ancient merchant ship slowly sailed, and they formed a huge flotilla that sailed into the distance.
The ship’s body was divided into several layers from top to bottom, with the bow rising slightly and the stern in a slightly upward curved shape, making the entire ship look delicate and graceful.
The ship’s tall sail trusses crossed the sky, with thick canvas hanging from the trusses, gently fluttering in the breeze, like flying eagles on the river.
In the fleet, each merchant ship had a large bright red flag hanging from its stern, marking the family to which the merchant ship belonged.
In this era when rivers were filled with merchants and businessmen coming and going, the fleet of merchant ships was one of the most common and lively sights on the river.
As the fleet continued to sail by, the mournful sounds of fishing songs and the yells of merchants were sometimes interspersed with each other, and sometimes clearly insulated, forming a layered matrix of sound.
The surface of the river was still calm, but as the fleet of ships went on their way, the ripples continued to ripple.
And at the forefront of this merchant fleet was a huge and incomparable gigantic ship.
On the boat, an old man dressed in silk was standing at the bow, looking at the river flowing on both sides.
Behind the old man, followed by several middle-aged men, all standing respectfully.
“Family Master, in three days at most, we will arrive at Huaixi Capital.”
A middle-aged man said respectfully.
Although Family Master Yang was older, his back was still straight and there was no cloudiness in his eyes.
“Pay attention to safety, safety is the first priority, what’s placed inside here are all divine medicines.”
“Yes!”
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied.
The Yang Family Master didn’t say any more, but instead looked at the large river not far ahead.
Recently, they had received a good job, and the source of this job was the Great Chu Kingdom.
The Yang family, seemingly, were water merchants, but in fact, secretly, they were serving the Great Chu Kingdom.
On top of these dozen giant ships, all of them were transporting divine medicines.
Not long ago, Yuan Qingyi, the holder of the Psychic Divine Pill, after a lot of experiments, finally cultivated the Divine Pill with the largest yield.
Currently, these divine medicines, one after another, had already been delivered to various cities.
Huaixi Jing was also one of them.
Each city, had their own different delivery methods, and Huaixi Jing, was the one that took the waterway method of delivery.
Going by land was fast enough, but not safe enough.
These days, it was not guaranteed that there would be desperate people, after all, these were divine medicines, which jianghu people wouldn’t crave for them?
So in order to ensure safety, it was better to be careful, if something really went wrong with them, when the court blamed them, I was afraid that the entire Yang family would land on their heads.
Emperor Xingwu was merciful, but not unpunishable, the Yang family head knew it very well in his heart.
Behind them, those stalwarts of the family had all left.
They still had a lot of things to deal with.
Now, on this prow, only the Yang Family Lord was left alone.
The Yang Family Head stood on the bow of the boat, and after looking at it for quite a while, he was ready to leave.
He hadn’t run a business for a long time, which was why he stood on the bow of the boat and remembered the feeling of being long gone.
Not to mention, it reminded him of many things from the past, and he felt a lot of emotions.
After the Yang Family Master turned around and left, he didn’t realize that at this moment, there was a large group of people that were swimming like fish inside the river.
These people probably had hundreds of people, everyone was proficient in water, even if they were in the water, they were still as natural as land.
The leader, a bald monk, was not young anymore.
Due to being in the water, everyone didn’t speak, but followed silently.
The procession of merchant ships continued to move forward at an extremely fast speed.
The river was constantly receding.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, setting over the mountains.
Night, gradually came, and the moon stars were sparse.
The Yang Family Lord lay on the bed of the merchant ship, without any sleep.
After tossing and turning and being unable to sleep, Yang Family Master got up from the bed, put on a single coat, and went to the bow of the ship.
At this moment, under the light of the moon, the river was constantly rippling.
The Yang Family Master looked at the sparkling water and did not say a word.
Older and older, he wasn’t much of a talker anymore.
Just standing at the bow of the boat, the Yang Family Lord watched for a while longer before he felt sleepy.
“Take an early rest, there is still the last hurdle tomorrow, after that, you can relax a little.”
With this thought in his mind, the Yang Family Lord was ready to leave.
But just at this moment, an abnormality appeared.
The merchant ship that was traveling normally suddenly became a little slower.
This change in speed was actually not felt by normal people, but for an old water merchant like Yang Family Master, it could not escape his eyes.
“Something’s not right!”
Having dealt with water for years and years, Yang Family Master was another old-fashioned jianghu man now, and he knew very well that he would be cautious and cautious again for even the smallest change.
“Incoming!”
Yang Family Master shouted.
Behind him, a whole bunch of Yang family members suddenly appeared.
“The ship’s speed has dropped, hurry up and find out for me, what exactly is the reason?” The Yang Family Lord shouted.
“Yes!”
The crowd hurriedly agreed, and they were ready to turn around, to find out the cause.
But before they could make a move, the merchant ship that was traveling smoothly suddenly lurched.
The amplitude of the lurch was small at first, but only moments later, it lurched to the point where it was difficult for even a person to stand still.
“Someone is attacking!”
The Yang Family Lord said in a cold voice, “Everyone, get ready!”
One by one, the members of the Yang Family operated the air in their bodies, and a faint layer of water flow was masked between all the merchant ships.
The water current transformed into a barrier, firmly guarding the merchant ships.
The merchant ships surprisingly stabilized and stopped lurching.
As a water merchant, the Yang family naturally had a strong escort team, and all of them were in water-related trades, which naturally came into play at this time.
Where there was water, they would be stronger.
And as the Yang family head finished those words, in the river water, one figure after another, rushed up into the sky.
On each person, there was a powerful aura that fell towards the merchant ship ……
