Chapter 159
byThe waves were waves, the waves were rolls, and the ship broke through the sea surface and sailed smoothly towards the distance.
The crying, shouting, and cursing of the more than thirty people who were caught gradually subsided, because even if they shouted their throats hoarse, no martial artist on Yunxia Island paid attention to them, and instead, they might be beaten up.
Those martial artists were extremely measured in their actions. They only made those people cry out for their fathers and mothers, suffering unbearably, but would not damage their tendons or bones.
Yang Kai sat in a corner of the deck, coldly observing all this. His freedom was not restricted. He neither shouted nor made a fuss, nor did he attract anyone’s attention.
The ship had been sailing for an hour and was almost a hundred miles away from Haicheng.
Yang Kai had been quietly observing the movements of the True Yuan Jing expert on the ship, thinking about how much chance of survival he would have if he jumped off the ship and escaped now.
With his strength at the Qi Movement Jing , he was not worried about being drowned, and his physical strength was also sufficient. Yang Kai was only afraid that the True Yuan Jing expert would fly off the ship and chase after him.
Just when he had a worried look on his face and was hesitant, an old fisherman who was caught took advantage of the inattentiveness of others and jumped off the big ship one step ahead of Yang Kai.
A soft plopping sound was heard, and all the more than thirty people who were caught became excited and rushed towards the side of the ship together, wanting to jump off the ship and escape following the old fisherman’s footsteps.
And those martial artists on Yunxia Island did not stop them, but just sneered and looked at them.
Yang Kai felt that something was not quite right. They went to great lengths to catch these ordinary people, and there was no reason to easily let them go.
Suddenly, a shrill and miserable scream came from below, which made people’s hair stand on end. It was precisely from the old fisherman who had just jumped off the ship. Hearing this sound, those who had rushed to the side of the ship also suddenly stopped in their tracks and stared wide-eyed at the sea.
“What’s the matter？ What happened？”
“There are monsters below！”
“There are man-eating monsters under the ship！”
Those ordinary people shouted in horror and all stood still in place, simply not having the courage to jump down.
A martial artist of Yunxia Sect on the ship sneered and looked at the crowd and said, “Want to know what’s down there？”
Without waiting for these ordinary people to answer, he reached out and took a torch from the side and threw it towards the sea.
Taking advantage of the brief light, many people saw a terrifying scene. The sea was a pool of blood red. The previous old fisherman had now been divided into many pieces. Under the sea, there were some hideous and terrifying fish beasts shuttling and jumping, following the large ship and biting the corpse of the old fisherman mouthful by mouthful.
“This is the end of jumping off the ship！” That martial artist of Yunxia Sect sneered.
Many people vomited on the spot. They were all ordinary people. How could they have seen such a bloody and disgusting scene？
Yang Kai’s heart chilled. He knew he couldn’t think about jumping ship to escape anymore. The things following the ship must be sea monsters, probably raised by Yunxia Island itself.
In the water, these monsters were the kings. He, a Qi-moving Realm martial artist, had no chance of escaping in front of them at all.
“All of you listen up！” The martial artist of Yunxia Sect shouted loudly, his eyes like electricity, sweeping across the crowd. “If you don’t want to die, then stay on the ship obediently. In another one or two hours, we will arrive at Yunxia Island. Don’t think that being caught by us is suffering. This is an opportunity given to you by our Yunxia Sect！ When you arrive on the island, there will be delicious food and fine silk clothes that you can’t finish enjoying. As long as you pass the test of our Yunxia Sect, we will accept you as disciples. From then on, you can also be a martial artist who can reach for the moon and pick the stars.”
Everyone was silent. Obviously, they didn’t believe what he said very much.
The martial artist of Yunxia Sect didn’t say much either. He just intimidated ed them and then shut up.
However, after what happened just now, now these ordinary people who were caught didn’t dare to make a sound anymore, and even less dared to have the idea of escaping. There were monsters eating people under the ship. How could they still have the courage？
The big ship continued to sail.
After another one or two hours or so, Yang Kai heard someone say： “We’re home.”
“Oh, I’m so tired. I have to come out once a month. Why are these people so short-lived？”
“Ordinary people, even if they are well-conditioned, can’t hold on for long. Shh, stop talking. If they hear it, they will panic again.”
Yang Kai opened his eyes and looked ahead. He saw the outline of an island not far away come into view. This island was not small. Yang Kai estimated that it was as big as four or five Sea Cities. However, this island gave him a very strange feeling. His eyesight was extraordinary now. At a glance, the left half and the right half of the island seemed a bit different. The right peninsula seemed to be covered by a layer of hazy fog, making it impossible to see clearly. He didn’t know what mystery it had.”
The direction of the big ship’s progress was towards the left peninsula.”
After a long time, the speed of the big ship gradually slowed down and finally docked.”
Some disciples of Yunxia Island lowered a rope ladder from the deck and greeted those trembling ordinary people： “Get off the ship！”
Although more than thirty people were frightened, they also got off the big ship in an orderly manner. The moment they stepped onto the land, many people’s calves went soft and they fell to the ground. They were really scared of those man-eating monsters under the ship.”
Many of these people were fishermen, but after fishing for so many years, they had never encountered such monsters.”
“You two settle these people.” The only True Yuan Realm expert on the ship said to two disciples.
“Yes, Martial Uncle！” The two responded respectfully. They were exactly the two who had caught Yang Kai before.”
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to enjoy delicious food and good wine.” The two martial artists from Yunxia Island didn’t make things difficult for these ordinary people. Like driving sheep, they herded them forward.
Yang Kai deliberately fell behind and, with a flattering smile on his face, said, “Two senior brothers, when shall we join the sect？”
One of them sneered at Yang Kai and said, “Who is your senior brother？”
Although the other one was also impatient, he still opened his mouth to explain, “Don’t worry. Didn’t you hear it on the ship？ As long as you people can pass the test of our Yunxia Sect, you can all be listed as disciples and join the sect to cultivate martial arts.”
“Then what is this test？” Yang Kai continued to ask.
“The test? Hehe, it’s a very simple test. It just requires you to pick something. Don’t ask too much. You’ll know when the time comes.” Seeing that Yang Kai was easy to deceive, that person patted his shoulder while saying, “As long as you’re smart enough, there’s always a chance for us to become senior and junior brothers. You’ve just arrived at Yunxia Island and don’t need to worry about anything. Delicious food and fine wine will be served every day. When the test comes, naturally someone will notify you.”
“Oh.” Yang Kai couldn’t find out too much information and could only give up.
However, Yunxia Island is indeed a good place for cultivation. The energy between heaven and earth here is rich, much stronger than that in Lingxiao Pavilion. No wonder the sects by the sea like to establish sects on the islands. Occupying the islands to cultivate is an advantage in itself.
Moreover, on many islands, there are special natural treasures that can’t be seen in the mainland at all.
Perhaps influenced by the beautiful scenery of Yunxia Island, the emotions of these ordinary people who were captured have also settled down a little. They pointed at the surrounding scenery while walking.
One of the two Yunxia Island disciples spoke up and reminded: Don’t run around on the island. There are also man-eating monsters here. If you run around, you will end up with no bones left.
Talking about monsters to ordinary people doesn’t have much deterrence, but talking about man-eating monsters is definitely scary enough.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, many people fell silent. They thought of the fate of the old fisherman who jumped off the boat before.
Following the road on the island, after walking for a full hour or so, the crowd finally reached the destination.
There were other Yunxia Sect disciples who came to meet them face to face and took these more than thirty ordinary people into a huge courtyard, smiling lightly and saying： “Two senior brothers have worked hard. The harvest tonight is not bad.”
It’s okay. We found a few more people than in the previous few months. These people will be handed over to junior brother for management.
Senior brother, don’t worry.
The few people said a few words, and then the two martial artists of Yunxia Sect left.
After they left, the martial artist of Yunxia Sect who was in charge of response then waved his hand and said: “Come with me!”
Walking into the courtyard, Yang Kai looked around and found that there were walls all around. The area covered was several miles in radius. There were small houses here, and it seemed that each could only accommodate one person.
More than thirty ordinary people were all arranged into these small houses. Yang Kai also lived alone in one room.
The furnishings in the room couldn’t be said to be luxurious, but at least they were not bad. There was a bed and bedding, neatly folded.
From now on, you will live here and don’t need to worry about anything. You don’t need to do anything either. Three meals a day will be delivered to you. The only task for you now is to eat well, sleep well, and take good care of your body, waiting for the test bestowed upon you by my Yunxia Sect！” The martial artist of Yunxia Sect instructed.”
Hearing this sentence, Yang Kai couldn’t help but think of the two words ‘raising pigs’.
He didn’t believe that Yunxia Sect caught ordinary people here to let them enjoy the good life. It was the same when raising pigs. Eat well, sleep well, and raise enough fat. When it comes to festivals, kill them with one knife！
What exactly did Yunxia Sect want to do？ Yang Kai was really a bit confused.
However, Yang Kai had no way to escape now. After all, this was the other party’s sect and it was also an isolated island. Unless he could safely get a ship, and it had to be a big ship that could resist the attack of monsters！
Since he was here, he might as well settle down！ Yang Kai put aside the burden in his heart, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to practice.
The next day, someone really delivered delicious food. Those food were exquisite and rich, and it was obvious that they were carefully prepared. There was also a faint medicinal fragrance in them, and they should all be medicinal meals.
Yang Kai didn’t eat right away. Instead, he waited for a long time. After seeing that nothing happened to the others after they ate, he then picked up his chopsticks.
After a meal, all those ordinary people felt refreshed, and so did Yang Kai. Although there were not many medicinal substances added to these dishes, they were all things that could strengthen the body and help activate the blood and qi. If consumed for a long time, even ordinary people could live a long life.
It was like this for several days. Those people who were captured had completely stopped complaining at this moment and fully believed what the disciples of Yunxia Sect said, that they were brought here to enjoy the good life.
These were all poor people. When had they ever had such treatment？ Every meal was full of delicacies from mountains and seas, and they actually became so happy that they forgot to return home.
However, in addition to these medicinal meals, the captured people also had to drink a kind of grass liquid every day. This kind of juice tasted very bitter, but it was also only beneficial to the body and had no harm. Day after day, those poor people actually all became much stronger.
With a happy mood and no worries about food, they felt that this place was heaven.
Moreover, their actions were not much restricted. Except that they could not leave that large courtyard, they could go wherever they wanted.
