Lord of the World - C106
With Luo Tian and Tong Jiu Zhou as backup, Yin Zhijie’s confidence returned. The three of them rushed to the mouth of the sea without stopping, and along the way, Yin Zhijie prayed continuously that the people from Earthly God Palace had not left, allowing him to vent his anger.
When the three arrived at the mouth of the sea, the previously arrived scout horses had already hired a small boat, which was waiting for them to arrive.
Seeing that it was a Divine Martial City member who was scouting out horses, Yin Zhijie anxiously asked: “Are the thieves still here?”
The member of Escort Regiment hastily replied: “Reporting to the Lord Commander, the boat of the thieves is still on the surface of the sea.”
Hearing the words of the members of Escort Regiment, Luo Tian flew to the boat without a word. Tong Jiuzhou did the same as well. Without saying a word, he too flew onto the boat.
Seeing that, Yin Zhijie also called for the crew member to jump onto the small boat as well. He then instructed the crew members to immediately set sail to the place where the divine earth ship was docked.
Although the Earth God Boat was still in its original position, the situation inside was not as Yin Zhijie had imagined. Although he had held onto his life for the time being, he still needed to calm his heart and rest, so Li Sicong sent people to send Jin Wu Que back to the Earthly God Palace. Li Sicong then brought a large group of people to leave, looking everywhere for Leng Jun and Zhu Qingyun.
Only Huo Yunjian was left on the Earth God Boat, along with a dozen or so sailors.
Yin Zhijie and the others rode the boat to the side of the Divine Earth Boat. Yin Zhijie stood at the bow of the boat and arrogantly shouted, “Fly thief on the boat, hurry up and come out to die!”
Huo Yunjian was being tortured by a captive girl, the sudden shouts scared him, and he immediately lost control of his body, crestfallen to the point where he couldn’t recover from his injuries.
Huo Yunjian came out of the cabin in a flustered and exasperated manner, and scolded Yin Zhijie: “Where did you come from? You’ve ruined my plans.”
Before Yin Zhijie could say anything, Luo Tian suddenly stepped on the deck and flew up, and then lightly landed on the Earth God Ship.
Luo Tian expressionlessly asked Huo Yunjian: “Is Earth Divine King on the ship?”
Seeing that Luo Tian had revealed such a move, Huo Yunjian knew in his heart that he was not an easy person to deal with, and immediately raised his guard, secretly using his spirit force.
Even though Huo Yunjian was being extra careful, he still maintained a haughty and arrogant appearance on the surface as he said, “Where did this old fogey come from? He actually dares to bring up my ancestor’s name.”
After Yin Zhijie heard Huo Yunjian insult Luo Tian, how could he bear it? He scolded loudly: “Little thief, you are the chief instructor of Divine Palace, Master Luo Tian Luo!”
Huo Yunjian suddenly heard about the Divine Palace and was not yet able to react, because he did not understand much about them. But after some thought, he finally realized that the person in front of him was the legendary Sword God with the strongest Heavenly God Continent.
No matter how arrogant Huo Yunjian was, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could defeat the continent’s strongest Sword God. His heart was already planning on how to escape.
Luo Tian saw that Huo Yunjian did not say a word the entire time, he suddenly took a step forward and continued to ask: “Is Earth Divine King still alive?!”
Huo Yunjian was considering how to escape in his heart, so he simply did not hear the clearly spoken words of Luo Tian. Luo Tian suddenly walked up, his imposing manner made Huo Yunjian think that he was going to attack him. Under his instinctive reaction, Huo Yunjian pushed his hands forward, and the spirit energy that had been secretly gathered formed a strong wind that rushed towards Luo Tian.
Although Huo Yunjian had not reached the stage where his elemental energy could awaken, this palm that had been infused with 100% of his elemental energy was still extremely powerful. Moreover, he was now only less than three feet away from Luo Tian.
Unfortunately, the one Huo Yunjian faced was no one else but the reputed strongest person on the continent, the Sword God Luo Tian. Luo Tian stood there without moving an inch. It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of him. Before that strong wind could even touch his body, it was all repelled back.
Huo Yunjian seemed to have not expected Luo Tian to do this. The wind directly struck his body, and before he could even make a sound, he was struck into the sea by the wind.
Yin Zhijie was confused, thinking that Luo Tian had defeated Huo Yunjian with just one move, but just as he was about to praise Luo Tian, Luo Tian suddenly said: “Good boy, you actually used this old man. Earth Divine King’s grand disciple? This old man is becoming more and more interested in this Earth Divine King. ”
After Yin Zhijie heard Luo Tian’s words, he forcefully swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth. He thought for a moment, but couldn’t figure out the meaning behind Luo Tian’s words. Thus, he quietly asked Tong Jiuzhou, “Martial Ancestor, what does Lord Luo Feng’s words mean?”
Tong Jiu Prefecture couldn’t help but let out a sigh in his heart upon hearing Yin Zhijie’s question. As the strongest person in the younger generation of their East Astral Sect, he couldn’t even see such a simple reason. He was truly worried for the future development of their East Astral Sect.
Tong Jiuzhou frowned and said, “That kid escaped on his own.”
Yin Zhijie was also not as careless as Tong Jiu Zhou thought. After the Tong Jiu Prefecture reminded him of something, he immediately understood what was going on.
Originally, Huo Yunjian knew that he was not Luo Tian’s opponent. After he struck out with his palm, he had wanted to borrow the force of Luo Tian’s palm to jump into the sea to escape. Coincidentally, Luo Tian’s protective spirit energy had forced the palm attack back, so he took advantage of the opportunity and sent himself flying away using the power of the gale, allowing him to escape from Luo Tian’s attack range even faster.
Understanding this point, Yin Zhijie couldn’t help but scold in a low voice: “What a cunning little thief, he really got lucky.
With that, he instructed the boatman on the boat to approach the godly ship. He didn’t have the ability that Allheaven had to ride the wind. He could only wait until the two ships were close together before jumping onto the ship.
After Yin Zhijie boarded the Divine Earth Ship, he led the Escort Regiment member that acted as a scout horse to search the cabin. He discovered that the ship only had a few normal crew members left, they were all easily settled by Yin Zhijie and the team member. In the end, he also found the captive that was trapped in the cabin.
After checking and comparing, it was found that there were two fewer people. After Yin Zhijie’s interrogation, the sailors finally confirmed that a woman was dead and had died in the sea. The other girl, the one with the most important identity, Zhu Qingyun, had been rescued by an unknown person.
Yin Zhijie ordered the sailors to sail the Divine Earth Ship back to the pier at the mouth of the sea, then he ordered someone to call over a large group of people to escort the captive woman back to Divine Martial City.
Although this trip wasn’t perfect, it saved the majority of the captive women, and also seized an extremely luxurious divine earth ship. For Yin Zhijie, this was something he was proud of.
