Chapter - 379 East And West are Forever APart Like Orion And Antares (13) (1/2)

Yin Li was still in a blurry condition, half-asleep and half-awake. Although she did not seem to improve, but her sickness did not get worse either. Zhang Wuji thought that in this big Persian ship, there must be some medicine around.

Taj-kis was standing on the bow with her eyes gazed into the ocean. She heard Zhang Wuji walk on the deck, but she did not turn her head. Zhang Wuji saw her from behind, and had to admit that her figure looked beautiful and elegant; her beautiful hair floated in the wind, the back of her neck as white as the white jade. Xie Xun said she was the Wulin world's most beautiful woman in the past, it was certainly not an empty word. He imagined her standing by the bank of the Bi Shui Han Tan, with her purple gown as beautiful as a flower, her sword as brilliant as the snow; he wondered how many heroes and warriors's hearts had fallen because of her.

Sailing until the evening, they had left LingSheIsland approximately a hundred 'li's behind. Looking to the east they did not see a single sail on the surface of the ocean; obviously the Persian Central Cult did not dare to pursue them under their threat.

”Yifu,” Zhang Wuji said, ”Can we release them now?”

”Very well!” Xie Xun replied, ”Even if they want to pursue, they won't overtake us.”

Zhang Wuji unsealed Pingdeng, Gongde, Zhanghuo, three kings, and Miaofeng Shi's acupoints, while apologizing to them repeatedly. He took them to the stern and helped them to leap into the small boat.

Miaofeng Shi said, ”We are responsible for these six Sheng Huo Ling; losing them is not a small offense. Please return them to us.”

Xie Xun said, ”Sheng Huo Ling is the Central Earth Ming Cult's token of authority; today it returned to its rightful owner, how can we let you take it away?”

Miaofeng Shi talked incessantly, insistent that the tablets be returned to him. Zhang Wuji thought he must subdue Miaofeng Shi's heart today to avoid more trouble in the future. He said, ”If we return these tablets to you, your ability is still too low. I am afraid you won't be able to defend them. Rather than letting some strangers snatch them away, don't you think it would be better if the Ming Cult has them?”

”How can some strangers casually snatch them away?” Miaofeng Shi asked.

”If you don't believe me, then let us try,” Zhang Wuji said, handing over the six Sheng Huo Ling tablets to him.

Miaofeng Shi was delighted; he had barely uttered, ”Many thanks!” when Zhang Wuji hooked with his left hand and pulled with his right, taking the six tablets back.

Miaofeng Shi was surprised and angrily said, ”I was not even ready, that one did not count.”

Zhang Wuji smiled, ”All right, there is no harm in trying again,” he said, handing the Sheng Huo Ling back to him.
