Chapter 157 Storm, Encountering the Corpse Refining Sect Again!

"The Salt Gang are from the Great Zhou?" Yu Jinxiu was slightly taken aback.

The remnants of the previous dynasty have long since fled overseas and are hiding very well. However, they have been making quite a few moves overseas in recent years, and even the Six Sages of the East Sea have felt the pressure.

So they implicitly joined forces.

Unexpectedly, the Salt Gang was colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty. If the imperial court finds out, the Salt Gang will probably be wiped out overnight.

I just don't know if they can make use of this information, after all, the Salt Gang is one of the six major gangs in the world and has considerable influence in the martial arts world.

Xiao Bieli then said:

"There's a member of the Zhou family on Jiang Tao's ship right now. If the people on Shenlong Island are unwilling to help, we can capture him and take a look at the lair of the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

"They ruled the world for thousands of years, longer than the current Great Qian Dynasty. Although they fled overseas, there should be many powerful lineages there."

"Moreover, given their influence overseas, if they could control one or two powerful individuals, finding Feng Si Niang would be much easier with their help."

Yu Jinxiu's breath hitched.

Although the strength of the remnants of the previous dynasty is unclear, the Great Qian Dynasty has not ventured overseas for many years, and the Six Sages of the East Sea are wary of them, so their strength must be considerable.

At least it's not something Jiangshan Pavilion can easily pull off.

Isn't Xiao Bieli being a bit arrogant?

She was already starting to regret going to sea with Xiao Bieli.

Xiao Bieli's constant threats to target Shenlong Island and the remnants of the previous dynasty make him feel very insecure.

Xiao Bieli is powerful, but he's not quite at the level to fight against the remnants of the previous dynasty, is he?

……

At this time,

On another large ship.

Jiang Tao, a third-rank grandmaster of the Salt Gang, sat in the cabin, with an old man in a black robe sitting next to him.

The old man in black robes, Chen Ziru, frowned:

"Still no news of Zhou Tong and Elder Yu!"

"Brother Jiang, how am I supposed to explain this to you when I get back?"

Jiang Tao smiled wryly:

"Brother Chen, there's nothing I can do about this!"

“You said that Old Master Yu and Young Master Zhou went to Manzhou, and we also sent people to Manzhou to investigate, but we haven’t found any news.”

“We even searched the two surrounding states of Manzhou with all our might, which even attracted the attention of the Zhenwu Hall.”

"It's not that we're not trying, it's just that we can't find any clues."

Chen Ziru's brows furrowed even deeper:

"When Elder Yu left a message saying they went to Manzhou, not long after we received the news, Xiao Bieli killed three top experts from the imperial court in Manzhou. Could it be that..."

Chen Ziru didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Tao understood what he meant and shook his head, saying:

"Even if Old Yu and the others got into trouble, it shouldn't have been Xiao Bieli's doing."

"Xiao Bieli and the imperial court are already locked in a life-or-death struggle. He wouldn't be foolish enough to offend the Zhou family as well."

"Could it be that Elder Yu and his group ran into Xuanjizi and his group on their way to Manzhou and were defeated by them?"

"Sigh!" Chen Ziru sighed.

"What a troubled time!"

"The Six Saints of the East Sea are joining forces to put increasing pressure on our Great Zhou. Now that Elder Yu has disappeared, my Zhou family is missing a first-grade expert to protect us..."

There are countless islands in the East China Sea, but the most famous are the Six Sages of the East China Sea, who occupy the largest and most resource-rich islands in the East China Sea.

Over the years, their Great Zhou had always wanted to occupy one or two of these islands, but the Six Saints of the East Sea joined forces, with each side having more than ten first-rank experts.

Although the Zhou family is powerful, if they were to truly fight, it would definitely result in mutual destruction.

Chen Ziru stood up, walked to the cabin window, looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and frowned, saying:

"Looks like a big storm is brewing!"

"Going into the storm is too dangerous."

"Let's go to Little Cow Island to take shelter first, and then continue our journey after the storm has passed!"

……

Half a day later.

"It's here!"

"A storm is coming. Let's take shelter on the island for now. Keep all your valuables with you. If they get lost, the Salt Gang won't be responsible!"

"Get off the boat quickly! The inns on the island have limited rooms. Don't blame us if there are no rooms available!"

At Xiaoniu Island Harbor, a sixth-rank expert from the Salt Gang stood atop the mast and shouted loudly at the ship.

Everyone disembarked with their belongings and headed towards the inn on the island.

Xiao Bieli and Yu Jinxiu were no exception.

However, as soon as the two disembarked, disciples of the Salt Gang came forward, cupping their hands in greeting to Yu Jinxiu:

"Miss Yu, your rooms have been arranged by Master Jiang at the best Tangfu Inn on the island."

"This storm may not pass for two days. The only port nearby is Little Cow Island, so we can only stop here for two days and continue our journey after the storm passes."

Yu Jinxiu nodded:

"Good work!"

The two followed the Salt Gang disciples toward the inn on the island.

Xiao Niu Island is not small. It is called Xiao Niu Island because its shape resembles a cow, but its area is smaller than that of Da Niu Island.

The island's inhabitants are mostly concentrated in a small town of a few hundred households. The islanders are also quite different from those in Daqian; they have rough skin and a fierce aura.

They are all people who can transform into pirates once they put down their farm tools.

However, those who could board the Salt Gang's merchant ships were all skilled in martial arts, or at the very least, had expert guards protecting them, so they were not easily intimidated by the people on the island.

"Ok?"

Upon arriving outside the inn, Xiao Bieli suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Yu Jinxiu asked in a low voice:

"what happened?"

Xiao Bieli said calmly:

"There's a stench of corpses! People from the Corpse Refining Sect are here!"

He killed some members of the Corpse Refining Sect in Jiangnan Prefecture back then, and that smell was unmistakable.

Corpse Refining Sect?

Yu Jinxiu frowned slightly.

The Corpse Refining Sect is notorious in the Great Qian Dynasty, and few forces like it.

I never expected to run into him overseas.

Salt Gang Disciples:

"Miss Yu, this way please!"

"These two superior rooms are for the two of you, and we have already paid for them."

After the Salt Gang disciples left, Yu Jinxiu asked:

"How many people does the Corpse Refining Sect have on Little Cow Island?"

Xiao Bieli shook his head:

"Not many, just one!"

"However, this Corpse Refining Sect Celestial Master also had a second-grade Celestial Realm expert by his side."

Yu Jinxiu shook her head:

"Anyway, for you, a second-grade Celestial Being is just a matter of one strike."

"As long as they don't cause trouble, let's not create any unnecessary complications!"

"We'll talk about everything after we find Feng Si Niang."

……

Not long after Xiao Bieli and his group settled in.

Another large ship docked at the port of Little Cow Island, carrying all the Beggars' Clan masters.

"Elder, we've arrived at Little Cow Island!"

"Judging from the markings on these ships, they must be from the Salt Gang!"

"Looks like they've also come to Little Cow Island to escape the storm!"

A Beggar Clan disciple with six bags stood next to Zuo Gonghu, a Beggar Clan elder with nine bags, and whispered.

"Let's go, let's settle the people on the ship on the island first!" Zuo Gonghu nodded and strode towards the port.

"We'll go find the Corpse-Driving Cult after the storm passes!"

"Dare to disturb the old gang leader's grave? I'll chase him to the ends of the earth and tear him to pieces!"

Zuo Gonghu's eyes were filled with anger.

He was abandoned as a child and grew up in the Beggars' Sect. Fortunately, the old leader valued him and taught him martial arts, which led him to where he is today.

Three years ago, the old gang leader passed away.

Nowadays, even graves have been dug up!

If the person who stole the corpse is not torn to pieces, how can he face the spirit of the old gang leader in heaven?
