Chapter 186 The Kite's Scheme
"Lord Xi Yuan, why are you here!"
As Xiao Yuankui ordered the ships to change direction, he exchanged glances with Xi Yuan.
Xi Yuan coldly asked, "Patriarch Xiao, where do you want to go?"
"You're being so nosy. Do I need to report to you where I want to go?"
"Of course not, but if you're planning to smuggle the cargo on the ship to the Thousand Absolutes Sect, then I can't just ignore it."
Without wasting words, Xi Yuan directly stated her purpose, essentially putting the matter on the table.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuankui shuddered and said incredulously, "What exactly do you know!"
"Why does Patriarch Xiao need to ask a question he already knows the answer to? The Thousand Absolute Sect's collusion with the Flood Dragon Lord is a capital offense. If you wake up in time, you can still save your life."
"So you knew all along..."
Xiao Yuankui's face turned pale. After hesitating for a moment, his expression hardened, and he leaped down, running away at high speed across the water.
He actually abandoned everyone else and ran away!
Xiao Yuankui wasn't stupid. If his collusion with demons were exposed, he would never see the light of day again for the rest of his life.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to escape to the Thousand Absolutes Sect first.
As long as the three peerless masters make a move, Xi Yuan will definitely be unable to do anything to him!
He used all his lightness skill, but Xi Yuan quickly followed. With a slap of her right hand, a wave instantly rolled up a water curtain dozens of meters high and crashed down on Xiao Yuankui.
The latter had already been injured by Ye Kang and hadn't recovered yet, so he couldn't escape. He was quickly submerged by the water curtain and was sent flying.
Xi Yuan Town Guardian, treading on the water, said calmly, "Xiao Yuankui, the Xiao family is a prominent clan in Poyang. Are you sure you want to ruin it with your own hands?"
Without any response, Xiao Yuankui completely ignored him, instead using the opportunity to dive into the water and then shooting away from underwater.
A faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
Clearly, Xiao Yuankui had already coughed up blood from this attack.
On the warship, Ye Kang watched this scene with amazement.
"The difference in strength between the two is too great. If Lord Xiyuan had been a little more serious, that guy would probably have been smashed to pieces by now."
Han Ying, who was standing to the side, said, "That's natural. The garrison commander was sent here to guard this place because his water magic is most compatible with the Poyang Lake."
Steward Lu Qi immediately ordered, "Set sail! Follow them!"
Immediately, Deng Wuxie led a group of masked men off the ship and headed towards the Xiao family's merchant ship.
The rest of the group headed straight for the Thousand Absolutes Sect.
Xi Yuan deliberately didn't catch up with Xiao Yuankui, but instead stayed far behind.
Soon, it was afternoon.
Xiao Yuankui clutched his chest, leaped out of the water in agony, and roared incessantly.
"My three senior brothers! Quickly save me!"
A roar from a peak eighth-rank cultivator resounded throughout the entire water island.
Almost instantly, all the disciples of the Thousand Absolutes Sect surged out, and the Three Peerless Masters also quickly flew into the air, looking at Xiao Yuankui with bewildered expressions.
"Patriarch Xiao, what has happened?"
"Xi Yuan knows! He's going to attack me!"
"What did you say!"
The three peerless experts exchanged a glance, all revealing solemn expressions, with one of them looking into the distance.
Sure enough, Xi Yuan was coming on the waves.
Further away, a mysterious cloud of mist slowly approached.
"The kite is here, what should we do?"
"Hmph! What's there to fear from a mere kite? Besides, the Dragon Transformation Pill is already refined. Kill her, and the sky's the limit!"
The three quickly made a decision, and then all looked at Xi Yuan with murderous intent in their eyes.
At this moment, on the warship, Yunlong and Yunkong spoke up curiously.
"Gentlemen, shouldn't we make a move?"
Han Ying shook her head.
"Senior, please don't rush. The master said that the old dragon is extremely cautious. We must finish this battle. If we kill too quickly, that guy will definitely not show himself."
The group nodded, all understanding.
The logic is simple: if the dragon king wants to save someone, but the person is already dead, then there is no way to save him. He certainly wouldn't rush over from the safe depths of the water just to seek revenge.
Only if the situation drags on and Jiao Jun realizes that these people can't take down the Thousand Absolute Sect in a short time will he make his move.
As I said before, the Three Peerless Masters are not important, nor is Xiao Yuankui. The only important thing is whether or not we can lure out that old dragon.
Sure enough, Xi Yuan, like a reckless man, flew straight over and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Sanjue, it's been a long time."
The old man with the knife, one of the three peerless masters, snorted coldly, stood in mid-air, and with a flash of his blade, cleaved through waves.
"Xi Yuan, how arrogant you are! What is your intention in trespassing into my Thousand Absolutes Sect!"
The town guard, Xiyuan, laughed and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. Hand over Xiao Yuankui and I'll leave now."
“The Xiao family head is a good friend of ours. It’s a bit too domineering for you to take him away.”
"This is an order from the Azure Scale Guard. Do the three of you also wish to oppose the Azure Scale Guard?"
Upon hearing this, the three peerless masters narrowed their eyes, and the old man with the knife sneered coldly.
"Interesting. Sir, your purpose today is probably not as simple as just arresting Xiao Yuankui, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Yuan stopped pretending.
Her expression changed, and she shouted loudly, "The Thousand Absolutes Sect has colluded with demons and monsters, intending to refine forbidden medicines and wreak havoc on the Great Swamp. Do you know your crimes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog dissipated, revealing the warship in its entirety. Powerful figures took to the air and instantly surrounded the main gate of the Thousand Absolutes Sect.
The people on the island were completely dumbfounded.
All the disciples instinctively shrank their heads, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
The Azure Scale Guards have really attacked!
Xiao Yuankui was utterly shocked.
"Xi Yuan! You tricked me!"
There was no response. At this point, further words were pointless. Xi Yuan directly attacked, unleashing terrifying waves that formed water dragons and crashed towards the Thousand Absolute Sect.
The three peerless masters also took action to block the giant wave.
At the same time, on the warship, Yunlong and Yunkong shouted loudly.
"Three old turtles! You didn't expect that, did you? I, Daoist Master, am back! Prepare to die!"
The two rushed over at lightning speed, their lightning magic and swordsmanship intertwining, which immediately provoked the three peerless masters to curse angrily.
"You two old scoundrels! You actually work for the imperial court! You scum of the martial arts world!"
"Bah! True Tiger Temple has always only helped the Way of Heaven. You have gone against the natural order and colluded with demons. We martial artists will naturally eliminate you as soon as possible!"
The group cursed loudly, their voices stunning one fish after another.
Three against three, right in front of Mizushima, the great battle began immediately.
Xiao Yuankui wanted to help, but the next second, a figure that he hated so much appeared in front of him.
"Patriarch Xiao, we meet again."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, his tone filled with a hint of killing intent.
Last time, because of Shen Suifeng, we didn't manage to kill this guy.
This time, we won't let him go.
Xiao Yuankui retreated repeatedly, his expression a mixture of anger and fear.
"You bastard! What have you done to my son?!"
“Of course, we’ll be subjected to severe torture. What’s wrong with that? Isn’t this what your son often does to others?” Ye Kang shrugged matter-of-factly.
The latter was so angry that his lips trembled.
"You damned little beast! Prepare to die!"
