55: Chapter 14 Slay all the cultivators who have fallen, and cut through the long sea with your sword.

Chen Xuan's footsteps halted.

This voice was unfamiliar; who was it?

As he turned around, a tall, upright figure appeared in Chen Xuan's view, with red hair and black eyes, his face somewhat handsome.

He didn't recognize him.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was only staring at him, Xiao Ye said condescendingly, "I am Xiao Ye."

"Oh." Chen Xuan replied in an indifferent tone.

Xiao Ye was somewhat surprised; ordinary fishermen of Biling Lake, upon hearing the name Xiao Ye and knowing he was a Young Master of the main branch, would always be extremely respectful.

Many even wanted to offer themselves and throw themselves at him.

Why did this guy have such a 'don't bother me' expression?

One had to know that in this era, fishermen were the property of their Xiao Clan.

So-called Spirit Farmers and fishermen were all slaves of their aristocratic families.

It was simply inconceivable.

"I came here today because Zi Ling often mentions you. I specifically came to thank you, and at the same time, to observe the local conditions."

Back then, through an introduction within the clan, Xiao Ye had quickly taken a liking to that girl, Zi Ling.

Being arrogant, he naturally regarded Zi Ling as his own exclusive possession.

And upon hearing that she had a childhood sweetheart, and then finding out he was a Loose Cultivator whose parents were dead and who had no future, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Furthermore, in Zi Ling's words, this guy was completely a bootlicker.

Who knew that after returning, Zi Ling would always mention him, praising how powerful he was, as if she had become a different person.

All of a sudden, Xiao Ye couldn't stand it.

He came today to prove that regardless of identity, status, or ability, he was far stronger than Chen Xuan.

He was not a bit worse than the Chen Xuan in Zi Ling's mouth!

He was even far superior!

Watching Chen Xuan walk away indifferently and board the boat.

All that was left for him was his back.

Xiao Ye felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching the air.

The fast boat sailed toward the outskirts of the Long Sea.

After about two hours, they finally arrived!

The outskirts of the Long Sea.

The location of the rare semi-spiritual shrimp.

It was rare to find the sea so calm and tranquil; only beneath the light blue surface were corals scattered everywhere, with swimming fish darting through them.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the place to catch those special lobsters." The person in charge pointed to a large expanse of red coral reefs below, where schools of black and white fish were passing through.

"Put on these tools and start working! Upon completing the work, each person will receive ten Spirit Stones."

There was a pile of diving equipment on the boat; wearing them meant one didn't need to use Water-Avoiding Talismans, saving Spirit Stones.

Hearing this, the fishermen and Loose Cultivators on the dozen or so boats began to act, putting on the equipment.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes slightly; it was this smooth?

Looking at the equipment again, they were all normal items, and he couldn't see anything suspicious.

As large nets were spread out, everyone jumped into the sea like dumplings, starting to capture the lobsters in this area.

Chen Xuan and Xiao Ye also put on their equipment, preparing to follow them down.

Under the kind gaze of the foreman, everything proceeded as normal.

For a child who grew up by the sea, beachcombing, fishing, swimming, and diving were basic skills, as natural as breathing, all instincts.

Chen Xuan quickly found, under the large net, a blue hard-shelled lobster the size of half a child.

This was the goal of this trip.

Under these corals, the basin-sized lobsters didn't move at all, but would dart away quickly when touched.

Chen Xuan handled it with ease, grabbing the lobster by the back of its neck and placing it into the fish keep he had brought down.

The more he caught, the more confused he became.

Eh?

This script wasn't right, was it?

Based on his decades of Jianghu experience in Biyun Market and Fusheng Immortal City.

This kind of high-paying job would only be a trap by Robber Cultivators or a scam; there had never been an exception.

Could it be that he really encountered one?

But these lobsters weren't worth this price; apart from being rare, they had no other special features.

Perhaps someone just had a craving for this?

Chen Xuan stopped pondering; after filling his fish keep, he noticed that someone had been following him the whole time, and that person had also filled their fish keep.

It was none other than Xiao Ye.

Did this guy have a problem? Why was he following him?

Could he be...?

Chen Xuan felt a chill run through his body and quickly swam up.

As soon as he boarded the boat, a gleaming long sword was placed against his neck.

While taking the fish keep, they forced him up and were about to use a restraining Talisman to suppress him.

How could Chen Xuan be willing to submit like this? In this critical moment, he looked around and saw that dozens of Loose Cultivators or fishermen had already been controlled.

So the real murderous intent was after boarding the boat!

And these employers no longer hid their intentions at this moment; not only was their number several times greater, but there was also a group of people clearly dressed as members of the Wang Family.

It was clearly premeditated.

Chen Xuan thought to himself that this felt right, and spots of golden light radiated from his body!

Glazed Body!

The equipment on his body immediately fell off.

"Damn! It's a Body Cultivator, someone come!" The Cultivator in front of Chen Xuan immediately retreated.

Sane Cultivators all understood that to deal with a Body Cultivator, one had to keep their distance.

Hearing this, several people immediately surrounded him, wanting to surround and kill Chen Xuan to make an example of him.

Just at this moment, Xiao Ye also came up. Seeing this situation and the Wang Family robes, he immediately broke free from the equipment and burst out of the water!

"Wang Family thieves, taste my sword!"

Xiao Ye burst out of the water, Xiao Ye drew his sword, Xiao Ye's sword light erupted, and Xiao Ye was slapped down onto the boat with a single palm!

It was done in one smooth motion!

"Where did this little brat come from? He's even using the Xiao Family's ancestral sword technique. Seal him and take him away!" A black-clad man from the Wang Family said coldly.

Several people immediately surrounded him, and in Xiao Ye's desperate gaze, a restraining Talisman was slapped onto him.

Xiao Ye's love-struck brain suddenly sobered up.

It was over; he was dead for sure.

In the face of life and death, that petty love between a man and a woman became unimportant in an instant.

Xiao Ye looked at the sparkling surface of the Long Sea, his heart turning to ash in an instant.

This place was remote; the patrolling Elder of the Xiao Family certainly wouldn't come here.

And the large group of Qi Refining early-stage Loose Cultivators under the sea certainly couldn't match the combat power of aristocratic family disciples like those of the Wang Family.

What's more, there was also a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage here, capable of casting the Wang Family's signature [Stealing Heaven Great Hand Seal]!

And on the shore, a whole bunch of people had been captured.

Only Chen Xuan, whom he had completely looked down upon, was flashing with golden light, temporarily holding his ground and not having been taken down.

But that was only a matter of time.

It was over; he was dead for sure.

But! But that guy Xiao Muting had said that Heaven never blocks all paths; there must still be a way.

Xiao Ye looked around, but he really couldn't see any path to survival.

And the opposing group had already spoken: "Hmph, where did this savage come from? Surrender, listen to our Wang Family's arrangements, and in the future, you may be allowed to join our Wang Family."

"Why don't you surrender quickly!"

Countless exhortations rang in Chen Xuan's ears.

Until one of the only two Wang Family Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivators, who had the highest cultivation in the field, said: "Why haven't you surrendered yet?"

He raised his right hand, and the air faintly distorted and fluctuated.

That was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and space being swallowed before the formation of the Stealing Heaven Great Hand Seal.

In everyone's view, Chen Xuan's only choice was to surrender.

This was the only path.

Whether it was the Loose Cultivators lying in the boat cabin or the standing Wang Family Cultivators, they all thought so.

But, unexpectedly, Chen Xuan laughed.

"Ha, interesting!"

A crimson-red top-grade Dharma sword flew out from his Dantian and hovered in front of Chen Xuan.

"A bunch of rabble, and you dare to talk about surrender?"

"The ones who should surrender are you!"

Chen Xuan's eyes were sharp, like blades, shining so brightly that everyone couldn't open their eyes.

At this moment, the Heaven-Stealing Foundation was fully activated, the secrets of Heaven flowed and changed, and Chen Xuan transformed into sword light, illuminating the face of every Robber Cultivator!

The whole scene was silent, not a sound was heard!
