The Array Refining Stone released by the first mate created a vortex that grew larger and eventually devoured all the Terrifying Leeches.
Along with the other Martial Artists who had killed Terrifying Leeches, this formidable army of leeches was completely eradicated.
"Was that an Array Refining Stone just now?"
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
"Oh? This one seems to be an expert, recognizing the Array Refining Stone. Yes, it’s specifically used to deal with Terrifying Leeches. We often travel this route, and without such an item for protection, we would have been killed by these monsters long ago."
The first mate explained with a smile, "But don’t worry everyone, after these Terrifying Leeches, there are no other dangers. We will soon arrive at the interior of Pixiu Island, and whether you can get the Heavenly Elental Crystal will depend on your own skills."
The people were initially sowhat disheartened and demoralized, as they had lost nearly a hundred people in this encounter alone.
And these were Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.
In the Heavenly Dragon Continent, Heavenly Realm Martial Artists are the Inner Sect Elders of a sect.
Even though Heavenly Realm Martial Artists on the Divine Phoenix Continent aren’t that valuable, losing so many at once is still quite painful.
It was rather frightening too.
However, hearing the first mate’s words, everyone got excited again.
After enduring nurous difficulties, it was finally ti for a harvest.
"Master, sothing seems wrong."
As they set off again, Leng i spoke to Ling Xiao in a low voice.
"Indeed, logically speaking, the first mate didn’t need to use the Array Refining Stone at all since his strength was enough to escape with his life. These people dying here ans that they have completed their task; there was no need to ensure everyone’s safety, as deaths are quite common during smuggling."
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I suspect sothing fishy about this. They separated those Martial Artists with higher Five Elents Sky Cultivation Levels from us to weaken our strength."
"What should we do? Continue to follow them?"
Leng i asked.
"Let’s follow them. We must brave it even if it’s through fire and sword since we’re just speculating and haven’t confird this to be a trap. Stay close to in case sothing happens, so I can think of sothing."
Ling Xiao replied.
Though Ling Xiao’s Cultivation Level was still not as high as Leng i’s, Leng i sohow felt Ling Xiao’s words were highly reliable and felt very safe being by Ling Xiao’s side.
"Okay, Master!"
Leng i nodded and said.
"Also, that Xi n Bo is no good. I killed him; you wouldn’t oppose that, would you?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
He had not taken action against Xi n Bo when he tried to trick him just now, just out of respect for Leng i.
"Xi n Bo has helped , true, but I have already repaid all the favors I owed him. If he wishes harm upon you, Master, I will definitely kill him myself. If you want to take action yourself, naturally I won’t object."
Leng i said very seriously.
"That’s all I needed to hear. Let’s keep moving. I’ll spare him this ti, but if he remains obstinate, I’ll definitely deal with him next ti."
Ling Xiao didn’t want to embarrass Leng i, so he didn’t take action.
A mont later, the team ahead stopped.
"We have arrived at our destination,"
The first mate said happily.
From here, one could clearly see an artificially made water channel ahead. Through this channel, one should be able to enter a building inside, but whether it was actually Pixiu Island was still unknown.
"Stay close and don’t get separated,"
The first mate hurried into the channel.
Although everyone hesitated, having co this far and considering the encounter with the Terrifying Leeches before, returning was hardly an option.
They simply resigned themselves to fate.
Most followed into the channel.
However, so people were more cunning, fearing unexpected changes, and moved to the back of the group.
For example, Ling Xiao and that sleazy old man.
The mont he entered the drainage channel, Ling Xiao knew his guess was right. This was definitely a trap, a huge trap.
Because he realized that the entrance to this drainage was actually the entrance to a large Array Formation, and once in, there was absolutely no way to return by the sa route.
Not only that, but within this building filled with an ancient aura, there were countless terrifying magic arrays and formations that even Ling Xiao couldn’t see through.
It was really too difficult to get out of such a place.
This was definitely not Pixiu Island, they had probably been deceived.
"Leng i, be careful, sothing’s not right here."
Ling Xiao grabbed Leng i’s hand, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble, without taking any risks.
After all, life was still the most important thing.
Leng i’s pretty face blushed slightly as she nodded silently, following beside Ling Xiao.
Xi n Bo’s veins popped, angrily clenching his teeth.
"Hahaha, well done, this is your commission."
After walking a bit more, suddenly, a martial artist in tal armor appeared. His strength wasn’t too impressive, possessing the cultivation level of the Four Symbols Heavenly Peak.
However, among this group of martial artists, he was one of the top.
His words were directed at that first officer and two others, and he even transferred so Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring.
"People from Pixiu Island are really straightforward. We’ll continue to transport martial artists over in the future. See you again soon!"
The first officer and the other two snickered as they looked back at the martial artists behind them, displaying mocking expressions.
"What’s going on?"
Soone still hadn’t grasped what the scene in front of him ant.
"Still don’t get it? We’ve been sold like those slaves."
Ling Xiao spoke coldly.
What!
Reminded by Ling Xiao, everyone suddenly realized. No wonder it felt odd, they really had been sold into manual labor.
They couldn’t control martial artists with Five Elents Heaven Level Cultivation or above, so they specifically selected out those below that level.
So-called smuggler’s channels were actually just being sold off.
"Hahaha, you guessed right. From now on, you are slaves of Pixiu Island. If you work well, you might still survive; otherwise, don’t even think about leaving alive."
The martial artist in armor laughed heartily.
"See you, a bunch of idiots!"
The first officer smiled at everyone, then turned and walked away.
"Where are you going? Leave your life behind!"
That sleazy old man, although he looked despicable, was not weak among these martial artists. Hearing this, he imdiately lunged forward, trying to stop the first officer.
No matter the outco, they had to take soone down with them, not just suffer in vain.
Bang!
But as he lunged forward, he was punched down by the martial artist in the tal armor.
With the sa level of cultivation, he was beaten quite badly.
"That armor is suspicious; it’s probably not made by modern martial artists. It has Divine Inscriptions from the Ancient Era on it, which may enhance combat strength."
Ling Xiao was, after all, an Array Formation Master, very knowledgeable about arrays and magic arrays.
"Damn it, I don’t believe in curses. Let’s go at him together, we can’t let this bastard scare us off!"
The rest of the martial artists were infuriated. Although they weren’t as strong as that sleazy old man, they had the advantage in numbers, so they couldn’t be intimidated by just one pinnacle level Four Symbols Heavenly Realm martial artist.
