C21 (1/2)
The sea was turbulent, the sea breeze was howling, the morning clouds were just coming out, and the red light was scattering on the sea surface, like a knight riding the wind and breaking the waves, charging into battle on the sea.
This was the shore of the East Sea. The Xuanzi Sea was spread throughout the entire East Sea, and it was stationed on an island about five hundred miles away from the coast. All the fishermen along the coast were under the control of the sea, and they had to pay tribute to the sea every month. The fishermen were in dire need of life, and besides the money they had to pay every month, life was even more difficult. Although they were resentful, they could only obediently comply with this rule. Otherwise, they would be severely punished by Xu Qiuyi's underlings. If they were light, they would be beaten up and crippled, and if they were heavy, their entire family would perish.
Under the harsh punishment, who would dare to resist?
Ye Jianhan decided to let the monkey, Shadowless, lure the Sea of Void out of the island first, so he found a boatman. The boatman was a man, for his face was barely visible through the beard. He wore an extremely large and gray robe. The robe was very old, as if it had never been washed. From the looks of it, he was a very poor fisherman.
A very poor fisherman actually had a very large ship. Aside from the cabin, the ship had two decks, one was twenty meters long and one was fifteen meters wide. There were more than ten sailors on board. The fishing boats of the East China Sea could sail freely on the surface of the lake, but they had to go through instructions to get close to the island where the Sea of Void was stationed. But if you are willing to spend money, someone will always risk breaking the rules. Ye Han had no money, so Shadowless could only take out a gold ingot to the fisherman as a reward.
According to Ye Mo Han's plan, he would use the gold medals from the Jade Pavilion to lure Xu Que Hai out of the island. As long as he got to the shore, Ye Mo Han had full confidence in killing him. Monkey Shadowless was placed on the upper deck of the ship. According to the speed of the ship, it would take him three days to reach his destination. Monkey Shadow was bored to death on the boat, so he went to find the owner of the boat, the fisherman, to chat with him. However, no matter how hard he tried to find the content, the fisherman never said a word to him. Monkey Shadow cursed inwardly, but he did not dare to continue being him. He thought that after this matter was successfully completed, he would definitely steal all the valuable items on the ship.
The next day, Monkey arrived at the bow of the ship and saw the island. After travelling for six more hours, three boats from the sea came towards them. The three ships were twice as big as the ones Shadowless had taken. On the sails of each ship, there was a large white flag with the word 'Sea' written on it. The three ships flew over with the wind. They must be the subordinates of Xu Qiuhai. They must have seen a strange ship approaching the island, so they came to question it.
In less than four hours, the three ships arrived before the fisherman's boat. The three ships anchored and surrounded the fisherman's boat. The ship was led out by a black-clothed man as he loudly shouted, ”It's forbidden to go to sea from the front. Return to the ship quickly, otherwise, we will be met with a calamity.”
Monkey Shadow took out the gold medal from his chest pocket and threw it to the man, saying, ”Quickly tell Xu Zihai that I need to see him.”
The big man took the gold plate and was shocked. News of the seven demons of the East Sea dying in the Central Plains a few years after they chased the monkey had already spread throughout the island. Seeing that this person looked very similar to the monkey described in the island, they were shocked and didn't dare to ask anymore. After the two of them conversed for a while, the man said in a loud voice, ”Follow this boat.”
The more the boat sailed towards the island, the more anxious Monkey Shadow became, fearing that he would be killed by the Voidsea if he exposed an opening. Thinking that Ye Mo Han might be bathing in the sun by the sea, the unease in his heart turned into anger, and he scolded Ye Mo Han's family. However, Monkey Shadowless knew that without Ye Mo Han's protection, he would not live for long. There were so many people in the martial arts world who wanted his life, and just Lu Mingjie alone was enough to give him a headache. He was still hoping for Ye Mo Han to kill Lu Mingjie in two months. With regards to Xu Zihai, Monkey Shadow could only brace himself and continue.
In the early hours of the next morning, the ship was docked on the island. The dock was wide, and there were more than fifty ships docked at the docks. The big man had asked Monkey to leave the boat without a trace. Monkey without a trace had followed Ye Mo Han's instructions and refused to go down. He insisted on letting Xu Que Hai see him in person. The burly man was helpless and dared not to be rude to the monkey, so he had no choice but to send his men forward.
