Just as Tianyou rushed to the river beach where the villagers were, there was chaos on the river beach.

When the villagers saw several figures boarding the river beach on a small boat, they were very happy at first, thinking that the people who saved them had come. However, after these people approached, the villagers noticed something wrong. The people who landed on the shore did not pay attention to them, but were staring straight at the magic sword left by the immortal. The villagers thought of the meaning of the look, but they were cowardly.

There were not many people who landed on the shore, only six, fewer than the villagers, but these six people were all young and strong, with big arms and round waists at a glance, they knew it was not easy to mess with. Seeing these six people walking towards the fairy sword left by the immortals there, the villagers did not even dare to make any blocking sounds. However, just as the six people passed the villagers' location, the old man who had asked Tianyou for water suddenly plucked up the courage and shouted: "That was left by the immortals, and the immortals said they could not be touched."

The six people turned their eyes to the old man, and then hesitated for a moment. The six people knew that this magic weapon would definitely not be the things of these villagers, so the saying of the Supreme Immortal should be true. But when they came here, they did not see anyone else, and naturally they covetted the temporarily unowned treasure. Obviously, the villagers present were not their opponents, and as long as they killed people to silence and then took away this magic weapon, they would really make a fortune. Although these sailors did not know how precious Taiyi Sword was, they at least must be very valuable. For them, it was enough to know this.

After a brief silence, the six people who went ashore looked at each other. One of them picked the chin at the old man. The remaining five people immediately pulled out their waist knife and walked towards the villagers.

Seeing their intention, the woman in front immediately shrank back in panic and asked, "What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Ah..."

The visitor didn't say much nonsense, and he killed the woman with one knife. The rest of the villagers immediately panicked and retreated. The old man picked up the child beside him and turned around and handed it to the half-grown girl, then protected them behind him and kept retreating. However, the river beach was surrounded by cliffs, and there was no exit except for going into the water. Those who practice martial arts could climb up, but for the villagers, this place was a Jedi.

The leader standing next to Taiyi Jian looked at the villagers who were forced to retreat continuously, and couldn't help but urged: "What are you doing hard? Hurry up, you still have your life when the owner of this thing comes back?" As he said that, he reached out to get Taiyi Jian.

Although the old man was extremely scared, he still shouted: "No..."

Unfortunately, the man didn't listen to the old man's stop, and he still held the hilt of Taiyi Sword with one hand. The old man was so nervous that he even forgot to retreat, and the five people also looked back at their leader. However, nothing happened. Taiyi Sword was still floating there, without any change at all.

"Go, it turns out to be a bluff." One of the sailors turned around and took a knife and said viciously at the old man: "You dare to deceive us. Today I will tell you to know how powerful our brother is." As he raised his knife and was about to chop the old man.

The old man took a step back in panic, but was tripped by the rocks on the ground and sat on the ground. However, just as the man's butcher knife was about to swing, the boss's doubt came from behind.

In this quiet night, any faint sound would make people feel very loud. The sound of the light was not loud, but it was heard by everyone here. The man raised the knife temporarily stopped the movement in his hand and looked back, but found that his boss was competing with the magic weapon there. He looked at him as if he had even used his strength to feed his breasts, but the magic weapon was still motionless, as if he had been nailed to the ground. But the problem was that the thing was floating!

This change immediately attracted everyone's attention. A sailor even turned around to help his boss. However, in the next second, blue electric arcs lit up on the divine weapon that seemed to be very valuable. With the rising electric snake, everyone seemed to hear a buzzing sound like a bee flying in their ears. The sound was very low and very powerful, and it was accompanied by crackling sounds from time to time.

The boss of the six people no longer dared to hold Taiyi Sword anymore, so he hurriedly let go of his palm and retreated. The man who wanted to help stopped and did not dare to go forward any further. However, even if the leader let go of Taiyi Sword, it did not mean that Taiyi Sword would let go of the mortal who dared to desecrate him.

Taiyi Sword is the most treasure of the Immortal Sect. It is not cast by mortals, but is formed by the natural gathering of the heavenly spirit energy and gradually guided by the immortal craftsmen. In other words, unlike ordinary divine weapons, the sword spirit in Taiyi Sword is not injected with acquired nature, but has existed originally, and it was even born before the sword was formed.

This difference brings the extraordinary spirituality of Taiyi Sword, and the strength of previous masters has also cultivated Taiyi Sword's arrogant personality. It does not want to give in because of the orders and dislikes the master, no matter how strong it is, it still doesn't like. However, the mortal in front of him dares to touch it without the consent of the master it selected. This is absolutely unforgivable behavior.

As the arcs around the body became more and more dense, the arcs around Taiyi Sword began to escape from the Sword God, jumping back and forth between the sword blade and the ground, and instantly turned into a terrifying thunderstorm around the sword body.

Now everyone around was nervous and retreated unconsciously. The boss of the six people was about to turn around and run away, but a thunderstorm suddenly shot out from Taiyi's sword, which instantly penetrated his back. A loud bang was heard, and a ball of blue smoke suddenly exploded. The flash of that moment forced everyone to turn their heads and close their eyes to avoid the strong light. When they turned around and looked, there was no shadow of the sailor leader on the ground?

"Where is the boss?" a sailor asked anxiously, and then began to shout around, but unfortunately no one would answer him again. The dark night and the chaotic river beach blocked his sight, otherwise he would have seen the disappearing place of his boss on the ground, leaving a large piece of grayish-white powder, which was his boss's last relic.

After evaporating the mortal who dared to desecrate himself, the lightning shining on Taiyi Sword finally gradually calmed down. However, the remaining five people were a young man who fell from the sky.

Because Tianyou came down from the sky, the five of them were scared for a moment. However, after seeing Tianyou's face and dressing up, they immediately disappeared. "Hmph, it turns out to be a hunter." The man who had planned to help his boss said that, seemed to remember something, and said to Tianyou directly: "Hey, take this, and tie the sword." As he said that, the man threw a bundle of ropes.

Tianyou just landed on the ground and was still observing the situation. He did not react immediately. The man opposite thought that Tianyou was scared by them. He immediately put on a fierce look and waved his sword and shouted: "Are you deaf? Hurry up, go tie the sword up, remember not to touch anywhere in the sword body. Hurry up."

This man had a lot of thoughts, and wanted to tie the Taiyi sword up and then drag it away with the rope. Judging from the situation before, as long as you don’t touch the sword, it will be fine.

Unfortunately, this guy was so unlucky, and the target he threatened was Tianyou.

"Do you want my magic weapon?"

"What's yours, that's me..." The sailor who spoke was stuck halfway through his words, because he thought of the possibility of not fighting.

Although Tianyou has been in Zixiao Palace for more than half a year, he is still not very used to wearing the elegant sect long gown to do tasks. In his opinion, the clothes for the task must be loose and do not affect tactical movements. Secondly, it must be close to the body and cannot be dragged and hung, in case of hooking things or being caught by the enemy during the task. Only when these two points are met can the issue of defense be considered, and according to the task needs, it is also necessary to consider whether it is necessary to add camouflage and concealed characteristics. As for whether it is good or not, it can only be said that it is an optional attribute of the combat suit, which is completely out of the necessary range.

The long gown of Zixiao Palace obviously does not meet Tianyou's definition of combat suits. The outfit designed by the immortals is loose enough, but the flowing hem and the design of the wide robe and big sleeves are obviously quite inconvenient. The colors of this set of clothes are only light blue, white, light pink, powder, etc., and they are all light colors. This color combination is obviously not conducive to disguise, but also completely impaired by dirt. As for defense, etc., what kind of defense can you expect to produce a combination of several layers of silk cloth and tulle?

Therefore, Tianyou still chose to wear the jungle hunting suit he made when he was out to work. At least the cotton and linen mixed fabric is much stronger and wear-resistant than silk. Although the messy dyeing of dark green and brown may look strange at first glance, it is really difficult to find when squatting in the grass. More importantly, Tianyou's hard-crust vest can play the role of a stinging suit on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also provides him with multiple plug-ins and tool bags, which can be touched immediately no matter what tool you use. Compared to this, the worry-free bag is slightly inferior. After all, the latter has almost no other advantages except for the large enough volume.

However, Tianyou's choice was to make these sailors who wanted to work as part-time robbers. At first, they saw Tianyou appear, and their first reaction was that they thought they were hunters entering the mountain, and they also jumped down from the mountain on this side when they saw the light emitted by the treasure. Although it was quite powerful to get down such a high place, no matter what, they still had five people. In their opinion, they should have a stable chance of winning against a hunter. However, the information contained in Tianyou's words just made the person who spoke react.

Tianyou said that it was his magic weapon. Even if a hunter covets this treasure, he would not say such a lie that sounds like a lie. On the other hand, if this is not a lie, it means that this sword is really his. Can the magic weapon be possessed by mortals? Therefore, Tianyou's identity has been revealed.

"You...you are...you are monks?"

"Hmph, under the Zixiao Palace."

When the clang was about, the sailor's waist knife fell directly to the ground, not caring about the rocks on the ground, so he knelt down directly, and then kowtowed desperately while begging for mercy. The four sailors behind him also reacted almost, and after a half beat slowing down, they all knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.

Although there are many cultivators on the Shenzhou Continent, most of them are at the bottom, and their actual combat capabilities may not even surpass those of the high-end warriors among the people. Moreover, there are also some cultivators specially trained in various countries, such as generals like Bai Qi, who are also considered cultivators, but are not from the sects. Therefore, although the cultivators from these sects in the neutral zone have a high status, they are not as good as being able to run rampant.

However, there are two prerequisites here. One is that ordinary people cannot provoke monks first. If they are not rational, monks will also pay attention to some influence. Most of them will not take the initiative to cause trouble for ordinary people. At least they must have an excuse to say the past. Otherwise, those monks who do not belong to the neutral sect forces will also find justice. The second is that the above conditions are not applicable to the sects of Zixiao Palace.

All the cultivators in the neutral zone can be divided into two types, one is Zixiao Palace, and the other is all sects except Zixiao Palace. Compared with those messy sects, the giant Zixiao Palace is really a bit outrageous. If you want to use the metaphor on earth, it is a bit like the United States when the Cold War just ended. It is well-deserved that the world's number one, and it is so powerful that the two countries, which are tied up together, may not be able to defeat her.

Although Zixiao Palace is not as exaggerated as the United States back then, it is not far from each other. The entire neutral zone is the well-deserved first sect, and its comprehensive strength is much higher than the second-ranked Leiyin Zen Temple. If the two confront each other head-on, there should be a one-sided massacre.

Even the second-ranked Leiyin Zen Temple is so different from the Zixiao Palace. You can imagine the attitudes of other sects towards Zixiao Palace. Although each sect will unite in many things to target Zixiao Palace intentionally or unintentionally, those are major events that concern the interests of the sects. For such small matters where sects conflict with ordinary people, no one dares to cause trouble for Zixiao Palace.

After saying so much, I want to explain one thing, that is, Zixiao Palace is really awesome, so awesome that no friends can be said, and no one dares to say anything without telling certain rules.

Now the remaining five sailors have violated both taboos. They first tried to steal treasures, but also killed people because of this, and then spoke wildly to Tianyou. If they were ordinary disciples of small sects, they would not give up, let alone the person in front of them is still under the Zixiao Palace. Isn’t this the old birthday star getting tired of hanging himself?

Facing the five people kowtowed desperately on the ground, Tianyou's eyes stopped on the motionless woman not far away. At this time, the blood on her body had been soaked in a large area. Because this was a shallow, the blood could not seep, but was carried away by the river, dyeing a large area red, which looked even more shocking.

He closed his eyes gently and opened them again. Tianyou looked expressionless and reached out to Taiyi Jian, who was still floating on the side. Taiyi Jian, who was standing behind Tianyou, immediately turned around and flew to Tianyou's hand, and put the handle in his palm.

Tianyou held the hilt of the sword tightly and asked in the direction of the five people: "Tell me all your identity, origin, and information about the ship over there."

When the five people heard this, they all paused, and then the guy who was in front quickly replied: "We are sailors hired by Brother Zhang Sange from the Fishing Bridge Ferry, and the boat behind is our merchant ship."

The Cao Gang on Shenzhou Continent is not a gang. The Cao Gang does mean the Cao Gang transport, but the gang is not a gang, but the meaning of help. Therefore, in Shenzhou Continent, the correct understanding of the Cao Gang is to help people carry out the organization of the canal transport. To put it simply, it is a logistics company that is specifically responsible for water transportation.

The Cao Gang is called Zhang Sange Cao Gang. When you hear it, you will know that it is a small river logistics company with no fame in small places. Maybe the ship behind it is their only merchant ship. This small Cao Gang is not well-funded, and the personnel in it are often very messy. If you can't afford a decent escort, you can only choose some crooked melons and dates to make up for the numbers. These sailors are said to be sailors, but they are actually security guards on the ship. Because of the chaotic origin, these people may not have been clean-cut people before. They may be more polite to the people on the ship, but they will never let go of this opportunity to do business without a lot.

Of course, there is another possibility that the entire Cao Gang is a part-time team composed of water bandits. There are actually quite a few such Cao Gangs at all. After all, there are a few cultivators in the Shenzhou Continent. Under pressure, the ten countries have strict internal control, so the water bandits are not so easy to mess with. Robbery can only be done casually, and the canal transportation is actually the main business of these water bandits.

"Are you pulling the cargo on the ship?"

"Well, it's all full." The sailor who led the lead was very obedient and answered whatever he asked.

"Where did you go?" Tianyou remembered that even if the other party said something, he might not know, so he added: "Which direction should you come from? Should you go north or south?"

"We came from Chu State and were going to Sanniang Ferry, north, near the Yanzhao border."

Tianyou recalled the map of Shenzhou Continent a little, and then asked: "Is your gang leader on the ship?"

"No. Our gang leader was escorting other ships, but they were not on our ship. We had only two boats in total. On weekdays, everyone had to run the boat except for a few doorkeepers, and the gang leader was no exception."

"Then who decides on this road?"

This time the sailor did not answer immediately, but looked in the direction behind Tianyou. Tianyou turned his head to look, but found that there was no one there. Then he suddenly realized that they were watching the guy who was evaporated by Taiyi Sword. "Is it his intention to just come down to grab my magic weapon?" Tianyou asked again.

The five people reacted very quickly this time, nodding desperately in unison, and then began to cry in a mess about how innocent they were, hoping that Tianyou would let them go.

"The last question." Ignoring the cry of these people, Tianyou looked at the five people and asked coldly: "Who killed the village woman just now?"

Four of them suddenly looked at one of them in unison, and the man immediately panicked. He stood up and stepped back while explaining that he was following the boss's intentions and that he was not going to kill someone himself.

Tianyou was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. With a snap of his fingers, the wind fell from the sky, and threw the man to the ground, and instantly a burst of flesh and blood flew across the body. The man's scream lasted only a few breaths and then stopped abruptly. Before his death, he held up his hand high towards the sky, as if he wanted to catch something. Unfortunately, it finally caught nothing.

The crowd around were frightened and desperately retreated, and the two children were already thrown into the old man's arms and dared not take a look. If it were on Earth, even if it was not illegal to kill people, Tianyou would never kill people in front of them for the mental health of the two children, let alone such a bloody way. Unfortunately, this is the Shenzhou Continent, a world that faces death every day. So he did not care about the children. They might live longer when they saw these in advance. Mercy is not suitable for this world. Unless there is a way to take care of the other person for a lifetime, they cannot give too much care. Instead, they should let the other person grow up as soon as possible. Innocence people live shortly on the Shenzhou Continent, especially for mortals.

Xuanfeng didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and just bit the sailor to death in front of everyone, and tore his flesh and swallowed it in big mouthfuls in front of everyone. It was a monster, and it was natural to eat people, just like a person eating animals hunted.

Accompanied by the sound of mocking the wind tearing the pieces of flesh and the crackling sound of teeth cutting through bones, Tianyou came to the remaining four people. These people were completely scared. When one of them saw Tianyou standing in front of him, a large area of ​​water with a strange smell appeared under him. Tianyou could even hear his constant giggling teeth trembling. This person was on the verge of being scared to death.

But in the end, Tianyou did not really kill him, but ordered coldly: "Rise your right hand." The man looked at Tianyou with a pale face, but he was stupid and did not react. It was not until Tianyou repeated it again that he had a little reaction. However, he did not raise his right hand, but instead asked Tianyou tremblely what he was going to do.

Tianyou continued to say with a cold face: "I want to take away the right hand or head, you choose it yourself. After three breaths, if you don't raise your right hand, I will assume that you choose your head." After that, he really raised the Taiyi Sword.

The man finally understood what Tianyou was going to do, but he really didn't want to lose his right hand, so of course his head was even worse. So he finally raised his right hand, and Tianyou didn't deliberately torture him. He swung his sword and removed his entire forearm from his elbow position.

"Ah!" The guy immediately rolled on the ground with his broken half of his arms, and blood was still spraying out.

Looking at this guy's appearance, the second person was fainted, but the idiot who was farthest from Tianyou actually stood up and ran towards the ship. This guy was probably scared and lost his mind, because normal people would know that he would definitely not be able to escape.

Of course, Tianyou would not bypass him because of this.

"Tangfeng." Tianyou called out softly, and after Shufeng saw it, he pointed to the direction of the man's escape.

Compared to eating meat, the feeling of catching and tearing the prey to pieces made it more fascinating. Xuanfeng instantly dropped the unbearable corpse under him that had been gnawed, flapped his wings and swept over everyone's heads, scaring the remaining sailor to faint. Xuanfeng instantly caught up with the escaped man and threw him into shallow water, bite the guy's back, and ate it directly from the inside out and ate it. Compared to the first one, this man died even worse. He screamed for more than a dozen times before he finally died.

Without going to see the request over there, Tianyou walked to the two sailors who fainted and cut off their forearms lightly. After watching them wake up from pain, he reminded him: "Go and find a soldering iron or torch, burn the wound, otherwise it will be my business if you bleed and die."

Including the one who rolled on the ground, he stopped crying now. He got up and hurriedly ran towards the ship. Unfortunately, he was stunned after only two steps. Then he ran more quickly and shouted: "Don't leave, wait for us, wait for us!"

The people on the boat were not blind, and I had seen the situation here. I didn’t leave before, because I was scared, and because the wooden boat was very slow at this time, especially when I was going upstream, many people needed to push them with poles, and some places even needed the help of a boatman. Just now, they actually planned to run away when Tianyou asked Xuanfeng to bite the first person to death. Unfortunately, the boat was moving very slowly, and it was not until now that it was moving.

Tianyou ran away over the three of them, and took several steps in the shallow water area and arrived next to the big ship. This kind of flat-bottomed boat looked big and was actually very shallow in the water. Tianyou pulled the boat gang and flew up and reached the bow of the ship in an instant. When the people on the boat saw Tianyou coming up, they were immediately frightened and hid at the stern of the boat and squeezed into a pile of trembling.

Tianyou glanced at it and found that the ship was not big. It was about the same size as the bus. There was a very small tail building at the stern of the boat, with a deck in front and a valve in the center of the deck, which should be a cargo entry and exit passage. Everyone on the boat was on the deck, after all, the boat could only be here.

Even this kind of backward wooden merchant ship is not controlled by many people at this size. There are about ten sailors on the deck, and two of them are obviously not the type of effort. In addition, there are an old mother and a young girl. This is a bit strange.

Tianyou saw only these 14 people, including the 6 people who had disembarked, which was 20 people in total. With the size of this ship, even if there were still people under the deck, at most, there were three or five people.

Sure enough, after Tianyou ordered everyone to stand in a row and call out the people under the cabin, three more people walked out of the cabin. In this way, there were 23 people on the ship.

"This immortal..."

Someone wanted to get close to talk, but Tianyou stared back at him.

"No one is allowed to speak. Now I ask whoever I can speak. You will say whatever I ask. If anyone talks randomly, you will see the consequences of the following."

This threat was so intuitive, so everyone on the ship was in extreme fear, and of course it was indeed quiet, and no one dared to say another word.

Nodded with satisfaction, Tianyou ordered: "Report your name and identity in turn, what kind of job you do on the ship. Start with you, come one by one."

The 17 people on the ship cooperated very well and introduced themselves one by one. Then Tianyou finally figured out the identities of these people.

Among the 17 people, 14 were people on this boat, namely the Cao Gang staff. One of them was a thin old man from a fisherman and his work on the boat was similar to a combination of a captain and a navigator, but he just drove the boat, and the real decision-maker was actually the guy who was evaporated by Taiyi Sword.

The remaining 13 Cao Gang personnel were ship workers, the lower-level personnel responsible for making efforts.

The three who did not belong to the Cao Gang were a young man and the two women. They were cargo owners, and the things transported on the ship were theirs. Among the three, the young man and the old mother were servants, while the girl was the shopkeeper.

The natural and social conditions of the Shenzhou Continent are relatively bad, so there are not many constraints on ethics, because humans really do not waste their extra power in this regard, otherwise they will be destroyed. Therefore, it is not surprising that female shopkeepers are in Shenzhou Continent, but it is rare to see such young and beautiful people.

Tianyou was not the type who could not walk when she saw women, and she had no interest in this woman, so she didn't care much. However, after confirming that the ship was all ordinary people and the robbery was just the temporary intention of the six people, Tianyou did not make things difficult for them anymore. However, Tianyou did not let the ship go.

Since he got offended, he naturally had to make good use of it. Everyone's raft was destroyed by fish monsters. Now isn't this the ferry that comes to his door?

I told the people on the ship openly that they asked to requisition their ships to send everyone to the downstream ferry. This condition was almost immediately agreed. Everyone on the ship saw the previous situation, and no one wanted to provoke the little fairy in front of me who was even more terrifying than a demon.

After the negotiations were made, Tianyou began to command the whole ship to help, first bury the dead women on the spot, then pick up the others on the boat, and then let them wait here. Tianyou drove the small boat on the boat to pick up Bai Bingyu and the others. When they got on the boat, the big ship turned around and drove downstream, and picked up Liu Ye halfway, finally gathering the team again.
Chapter completed!
