Chapter 1017: Wanting to Forge the Strongest Sword

The two broken pieces of the s.h.i.+p were now like two small rafts, bearing the fortunate survivors as they floated on the huge sea.

They were trying hard to return to the marine routes of the Yang Clan. Then, only three days would be needed, at most, and they would meet with another s.h.i.+p from the Yang Clan and be saved.

However, they had survived a great disaster, yet they did not meet their good fortune ¹ . Not long after, they encountered a stormy sea that turned them all dizzy and caused them to lose any sense of direction.

When it was calm again, Yang Tiecheng took out his compa.s.s for a look, and discovered that they were extremely far away from the normal marine routes.

There was nothing else that could be done. They could only row as much as possible to return to their original marine route.

Thankfully, all of them were elites of Immortal level, and thus there was no need to worry about problems like food and water.

Soon, night fell. Everyone took their turns to rest, but none of them dared to be too relaxed, because everyone was trying to outwit everybody else, so who would really be trustworthy among them?

At dawn, a red sun leaped out of the horizon, incredibly magnificent.

“Yi, there… there seems to be a s.h.i.+p!”

A black dot appeared ahead of them. Everyone focused their gazes and looked in one direction, and there indeed was something floating on the surface of the sea.

“Be careful, it could be pirates!” Yang Tiecheng exclaimed.

This place was completely distanced from the marine routes of the Yang Clan’s fleet. The s.h.i.+ps belonging to the Yang Clan would definitely not appear here unless by complete accident. Hence, the possibility that it was a pirate s.h.i.+p was extremely high.

“That’s not right!” Ling Han activated the Eye of Truth, and shook his head. He said, “That’s not a s.h.i.+p. Instead, it’s an island.”

The reason why it looked like a s.h.i.+p was because this island was too far away from them.

“An island!”

Everyone felt invigorated. If they got on the island, they would be able to reorganize. At least, they could make a few real oars, or they could even create a sail. It would be better than now, at least.

They rowed once more to advance. After quite a long while of rowing, that island was also becoming gradually bigger in front of their eyes, and finally, they could see it clearly. That was indeed an island, and it was a very big one.

This stunned quite a few of them. How could Ling Han’s sight be so good?

Another long while pa.s.sed, and they finally landed on the beach.

“We’ll move separately. One day later, we will gather back here. We will collect all materials that can be used,” Yang Tiecheng said. He stored away the two broken pieces of his s.h.i.+p to prevent anyone from leaving by themselves and leaving everyone else on the island.

Ability-wise, he was the strongest. He was also the “captain”, so naturally, he would be the one calling the shots. Furthermore, he was more trustworthy. Otherwise, it didn’t matter who got ahold of these two “boats”, for the others would not be at ease.

Luo Wu and Fan Yong exchanged a look. After their “shared trial”, they had formed an alliance. Now that everyone was moving separately, they naturally had their eye on Ling Han.

Unfortunately, Yang Tiecheng chose to go with Ling Han, which caused the duo’s plan to tail and kill him secretly to completely fizzle out.

Actually, Ling Han was feeling a bit sorry too. He still had the Crimson Ground Locking Net which he had not used yet, so even against a cultivator in the high extreme, he would be unafraid. Moreover, he could stun his opponent with the Seven Kill Subduing Soul Technique, and draw them into the Black Tower, so he was a.s.sured of victory against any cultivator in the high extreme.

This island was very big, and had a narrow, elongated shape. They were now at about one-third of the island. Hence, they separated into two groups. One group would head east, while the other group would head west.

The island was covered with dense jungle, and each tree was at least 300 meters tall, with huge leaves. Hence, if one were to walk underneath the trees, there was practically no light that could penetrate the canopy, making it appear extremely spooky.

Ling Han’s group had six people. Aside from himself and Shui Yanyu, there was also Yang Tiecheng, Yin Yuanxiang, Fu Tian, and Jin Zhihui.

Very obviously, Yang Tiecheng had separated Ling Han from his enemies.
