Chapter 958 - Unavoidable Clash (2/2)

Cui Jian’s expression slightly shifted and he immediately inputted another series of instructions. The monitor in the upper left corner of his laptop then changed and a liner was quickly displayed on it. He could clearly see two youths sitting cross-legged in a cultivation posture on the ship’s deck.

“Notify Boss!”

The ocean stretched as far as the eyes could see, but Jin Chanzi sat cross-legged on the deck, silently immersing himself in the cultivation art of his sect. He was not at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and had yet to sense the threshold of the Golden Core Stage. But he believed that he would have a breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage one day in the future if he kept cultivating diligently, earning himself the honor of becoming an illustrious powerhouse among cultivators.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP…

Suddenly, the sound of alarm inside the liner rang and Jin Chanzi instantly opened his eyes. The moment he and Jin Xingzi floated above, Daoist Zixuan’s figure flashed and appeared beside them.

“We got some bad company ahead.”

Eyes squinted, Daoist Zixuan trained her vision on the ships in the distance that were cruising toward them as she spoke with indifference.

“What do you mean, Master?” asked Jin Chanzi. “You already know who those people are?”

“The Ship Master has already contacted the ships from the bridge through their comms and asked about their identity. They just simply ignored. He also said that if we encounter such a situation at sea, then it’s usually people with hostile intentions. Additionally, did you forget why you came to Nine Dragons Island in the first place?”

Jin Chanzi was zoning out for a moment and immediately said, “You mean those people are highly likely to be the Celestial Wizard people, Master? And they came here to avenge their slain clan members?”

With her acutely keen eyesight, Daoist Zixuan had already been able to clearly see those standing on the liner’s deck in the distance. Those people were dressed in black robes with staffs and weapons in their hands. It was the attire of Celestial Wizard clan members according to her knowledge of this clan.

“You all must remember that our cultivation emphasizes seeking the mystery of Heavenly Dao and pursuing immortality, not fighting for power and killing for no reason. Once we run into them, we are not to engage them in battle if they don’t attack us first.”

“But you just said yourself that the likelihood for them to not attack us is very slim, Master.” Jin Chanzi frowned and said, “Besides, the reason why these Celestial Wizard people came here is for revenge, as well as probably to rob Nine Dragons Island.”

“We won’t interfere too much on the issue between Nine Dragons Island and the Celestial Wizard clan.” Daoist Zixuan lightly said, “Our Whole Unitary Sect doesn’t fear this Celestial Wizard clan, but there’s no need to have any needless conflict if it’s avoidable. I just hope Daoist Tang and Nine Dragons Island’s people can deter this clan since we are trading with them, after all.”

“You mean… we’re not going to help Big Brother Tang, Master?” asked Jin Chanzi.

“We naturally won’t stand idly if these Celestial Wizard people kill ordinary people for no reason,” said Daoist Zixian lightly. “But Daoist Tang and his men are all cultivators, and they are the ones who killed the members of this clan nonetheless, so we’ll avoid being involved in this matter as much as possible.”

Jin Chanzi fell into silence. He didn’t know much about this Celestial Wizard clan, but he was aware that it was him and his five martial brothers who had been in conflict first with Wznieść and Wykres Soloch. Although these two brothers didn’t fall under the six brother’s hands, they were the ones who had destroyed their wicked deeds.

Moreover, he also knew that there was a business deal between Tang Xiu and his Master. The Celestial Wizard people were very powerful, and if they ultimately defeated Tang Xiu and his men, wouldn’t it mean that the deal was as good as gone already, meaning that they also wouldn’t be able to obtain the cultivation manual that could make them possibly reach the Great Ascension Stage?

“Huh?”

Suddenly, he keenly sensed a bursting killing intent coming out from his Master, Daoist Zixuan.

At this moment, Daoist Zixuan’s attention was trained on the two ships that were getting closer and closer. When the distance between the ships was less than a kilometer, a figure flashed lightning-fast from the opposite liner and stood in front of her in the blink of an eye.

“Why are you boarding our ship, wizard from the Celestial Wizard clan?”

The black-robed old man shot a look at Daoist Zixuan with brows slightly creased, saying, “You know who we are? Who exactly are you?”

“We’re cultivators,” replied Daoist Zixuan indifferently. “You can call me Daoist Zixuan.”

The black-robed old man narrowed his eyes and cautiously observed her for a short while. Then he coldly said, “Ascetics from mysterious oriental China? But why are you here, and did you see anyone from my clan several days ago?”

“I haven’t seen them, but my young disciples did,” answered Daoist Zixuan. “Wznieść and Wykres Soloch of your clan killed ordinary people and thus clashed with my six young disciples. I also know your two clansmen have been killed. You’re all thousands of miles from your home; did you come here to avenge them?”

The black-robed old man’s complexion changed and he held the gem-inlaid staff upward, asking with boiling killing intent, “Did you kill them?”

“What if I did?” asked Daoist Zixuan unflinchingly. “And what if I didn’t?”
