“Master, there’s no more path, what do we do?”
On the shore, two human figures appeared, each carrying a person on their shoulders. The younger man said anxiously, “They’re about to catch up with us.”
“You fool, hurry up and jump into the river, do you see that ship? Swim over there.”
“But… ”
“No buts, if you don’t jump now, it will be too late.”
Having said that, there was a splash, and someone jumped into the water.
Soon, there was another splash, and the other person had also jumped into the water.
A moment later.
The master and disciple had swam to the side of the ship, silently boarded it without alerting anyone.
They had just come out of the water and landed on the deck, without leaving a single droplet of water, demonstrating that they were both martial arts experts.
Each of them carried a person and stealthily entered the cabin, finding an unoccupied room and laying the people down.
Finally in a safe place, the young man was still somewhat worried, “Master, what if we are found out?”
The other man said irritably, “I’ve told you not to meddle in other people’s business, but you just wouldn’t listen. That was Guo Taiping, the direct descendant of the nine great families, a figure on the Pride of Heaven List. Now, we might lose our lives too.”
The young man said somewhat awkwardly, “Since we’ve taken their money to protect them, we naturally can’t ignore their plight. Besides, what’s so great about Pride of Heaven? He was scared off by Brother Gu.”
This pair of master and disciple was none other than Gao Fan and Feng Tianci.
After departing from Jingzhou, they headed north, planning to go to Divine City.
On the way, they ran out of provisions and reluctantly ended up as bodyguards for hire. Unexpectedly, just before reaching Divine City, the family they were protecting for some reason attracted the attention of Guo Taiping, the Pride of Heaven, and was killed.
Feng Tianci could not stand idly and managed to rescue two people in the chaos and pulled his master along to flee.
Guo Taiping dispatched a Third Rank martial artist in pursuit.
While Gao Fan complained, he helped to carry a person, ran fast, and didn’t slow down.
In their haste, they arrived at the river and having no other route, they chose to jump into the river, finally taking shelter on this ship.
Gao Fan sneered, “Wait until you have strength like Gu Yang, then talk big. I think you have your eyes on this little girl, right? You’re so lecherous, for a pretty face, you’re willing to drag your master into water.”
Feng Tianci flushed, “Disciple absolutely does not harbor such obscene thoughts, Master, you must not slander me.”
Gao Fan was so amused by his silly disciple.
It was his fault for educating this disciple from a young age to be honest and upright, to be a kind-hearted man.
As a result, this silly boy actually took it all to heart and had been practicing this belief from childhood to adulthood.
In this dog-eat-dog world, this kind of character was bound to suffer.
Just then, there was a sudden boom, and a terrifying aura erupted.
Feng Tianci nearly collapsed under an invisible force. He clenched his teeth and somehow managed to withstand it, shivering, bones creaking.
Just when he nearly ran out of breath, the terrifying aura suddenly disappeared without a trace.
With the pressure lifted, he almost collapsed.
“Master… just now… was that… the Divine Power Realm?”
Feng Tianci’s face was pale, his eyes filled with fear.
That aura felt so close, right on this ship!
They had actually landed on a ship with a Divine Power Realm expert.
Gao Fan’s gaze was slightly surprised, thinking his disciple was making incredible progress, he had actually managed to endure under such pressure.
Along the way, his disciple’s cultivation had been advancing by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Third Rank, and there were no signs of slowing down.
He said, “Don’t you feel that aura was somewhat familiar?”
“Familiar?”
Feng Tianci was initially confused, suddenly had a flash of insight and blurted out, “Brother Gu!”
He finally remembered, that aura did feel familiar, clearly it was Brother Gu’s True Essence.
But compared to two months ago, Brother Gu’s aura was countless times stronger.
“Is it really Brother Gu?”
He still found it hard to believe.
Gao Fan said, “Didn’t you hear a few days ago that Gu Yang defeated a first stage Golden Body expert of the Lin Family in Jiangzhou?”
Despite his calm appearance, he was actually quite shocked in his heart.
In just two short months, Gu Yang’s strength had undergone earth-shattering changes, defeating a Divine Power Realm expert with his First Rank power.
Truth be told, when he first heard the rumor, his first reaction was disbelief.
How long had it been since he parted ways with Gu Yang?
Just two months, even if he had been consuming divine elixirs, progress couldn’t be this fast, right?
