Chapter 333

The five experts of the Rice Sect all boarded the ship, each with a powerful aura, like demon gods from the underworld.

Everyone on the ship was terrified.

Li Youyi did not deliberately release his mental power, but relying only on his hearing, smell, and other perceptions, he could accurately grasp the position and state of everyone, forming images in his mind.

The two with the strongest auras flew to the third floor of the ship, and Yizhou Xue was one of them.

The only Spirit Mentalist among the five, with green spiritual light overflowing from his brow, condensed a light shield on his body to protect himself and walked slowly along the corridor on the second floor. The sound of broken cabin doors, screams, crying, and objects falling to the ground kept coming from above.

Finally, there were the two black-robed Wu Xiu in the dining hall wearing masks with blood valley patterns. They walked past each table, examining everyone carefully.

Many of those they stared at collapsed to the ground in fear, their hearts filled with terror.

The cabin of Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao was on the second floor, and they would soon be found by that Spirit Mentalist.

A great battle was inevitable!

Li Youyi concentrated his hearing entirely on the Spirit Mentalist on the second floor. He knew clearly that Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao would definitely strike to kill the moment the other party opened the door.

That moment was also the time for Li Youyi to strike and deal with the two in the dining hall.

Use thunderous force to kill three people first, and then slowly deal with Yizhou Xue and the other one.

The dining hall was unusually quiet, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

"Tap tap!"

The slow, heavy footsteps of one of the black-robed Wu Xiu gradually approached Li Youyi. Beside him, He Gan and Guo Zhensheng were both sweating profusely, their bodies petrified, without any of the demeanor of experts they had before.

Li Youyi was calm and natural, but the four mental power stars in his spiritual world were spinning rapidly.

On the second floor, Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao, who had restrained their auras, had operated their magic power to the extreme, ready to break out of the door at any time and give the Spirit Mentalist a fatal blow.

"Clatter!"

A dense sound of chains rang out in the night, coming from all directions, as if an army of thousands had surrounded the post ship.

Li Youyi looked around.

Outside the doors and windows of the dining hall, dense magic power surged in. These magic powers twisted into white chains of varying thickness, crisscrossing and densely forming a net, imprisoning everyone.

Li Youyi looked down and saw white chains passing through his leg bends, arms, neck, and waist at the same time. The thinnest ones were like spider silk.

The two black-robed Rice Sect experts holding scythes were the most severely imprisoned, with dozens of chains around them.

The entire post ship was shrouded.

"Outer manifestation of the Dao heart, a hundred locks and a thousand chains. It’s the Taishi family’s Jia-level, Taishi Bai. He is actually on the ship." A young Wu Xiu in the dining hall exclaimed with excitement, no longer afraid of the evil sect demons.

The first person in the Jiazi was called Jia Shou.

The second person was Jia Ci.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream came from the third floor of the ship.

The Rice Sect expert who accompanied Yizhou Xue was an old-generation figure nearly a hundred years old, but he was killed by two flying swords flying out of the cabin in just one encounter.

Both flying swords were only a foot long, one green and one white.

One sword pierced the throat, and one sword pierced the heart.

The corpse fell from the third floor and fell into the cold river water with a splash.

Everyone on the ship was overjoyed; it served the evil sect demons right for hitting an iron plate.

A young, cold, and heavy voice came from above: "Your evil sect is becoming more and more arrogant; I have long wanted to meet you. Since you are here, stay here forever!"

"Clatter!"

The white magic power chains all over the dining hall on the first floor were pulled up as if by someone from above, dragging the two black-robed Rice Sect experts, wrapping them up, and flying outside.

It was like two people being caught in a fishing net, and the fisherman hadn't even appeared.

Li Youyi could see that the two Rice Sect experts were at least at the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm and could stand alone in any force. Yet they were pulled away by Taishi Bai from a distance and could not resist; it was simply miraculous, and the means were terrifying.

"Boom!"

The sound of Yizhou Xue and Taishi Bai exchanging moves came from the third floor, and the magic power surged, causing the metal-framed post ship to creak.

Yizhou Xue spat blood and flew backward, his body hitting the railing and falling toward the river.

"To be able to take my full-strength palm, your strength is enough to be listed in the 'Jiazi Register'. Your status in the evil sect should not be low, right?" Taishi Bai’s movement technique was elegant and swift, like a flying immortal, chasing toward the river.

On the corridor of the second floor.

That Spirit Mentalist let out a long whistle, and the green brilliance in his spiritual world surged, shattering all the magic power chains wrapped around him.

Then, dense green light traces and threads flew out from his brow, shooting wildly in all directions.

Everyone on the ship below the Dao Seed Realm trembled, green light appeared in their pupils, their mental consciousness was lost, and they revealed bloodthirsty and ferocious expressions.

Those with weapons drew all kinds of weapons and, like crazy, killed everyone they saw.

Those without weapons attacked any living creature they could see with their hands, claws, teeth, fists, and any part of their body that could attack.

The entire post ship was like it had been possessed, with laughter, fighting, slashing, and screaming ringing out, extremely chaotic.

If someone boarded the ship at this moment and saw the scene, they would definitely be horrified and turn around to flee.

The two trapped Rice Sect black-robed experts took this opportunity to cut the chains with the scythes in their hands, broke free, and jumped toward the river, wanting to escape.

"Puff!"

"Pish!"

One green and one white flying sword pierced their chests, and even their magic battle clothes exploded instantly; they couldn't stop it at all.

The two fourth-heaven Dao Seed Realm experts drank hatred on the spot, and their corpses sank into the river.

In the dining hall, Li Youyi waved his hand and knocked He Gan and Guo Zhensheng, who were attacking him, to the ground, knocking them unconscious.

Looking at the chaotic, strange, and bloody scene before him, he put on the golden mask given by Yao Qingxuan, did not hesitate, pinched a finger formula, and his spiritual light bloomed from his brow.

He recited a word in his mouth: "Zhe!"

Zhe is one of the nine words in the Daoist Six Jia Secret Incantations, combined with mental power, turning into a circle of sound wave spiritual light, spreading out with Li Youyi as the center.

"Whoosh!"

All the green light traces and threads were washed away.

The people on the ship who were crazy and bloodthirsty had their mental souls instantly cleaned, their eyes returned to clarity, and they all looked at their hands in horror, not knowing what had just happened.

The golden mask was very special and could cover Li Youyi’s magic power and mental power aura, causing it to change.

How could the Spirit Mentalist on the second floor have imagined that there was a mental power expert on the ship who was proficient in clearing the heart and mind? He immediately condensed a pair of light wings on his back, wanting to escape.

"Where are you going?"

The main hall door of the third floor opened, and four figures rushed out, all of them top experts. One bent his bow and set an arrow, one threw out a treasure wheel magic tool, one spread his wings to chase, and one cast a Daoist technique.

The four were guests of the Taishi family.

On the other side, Taishi Bai, who was chasing on the river, heard a melodious flute sound in his ears and looked toward the shore.

A black-robed figure stood straight under a tree by the river dozens of feet away, playing a flute, his body sometimes real and sometimes illusory.

The falling snow within dozens of feet on the river turned into layers of snow waves, rushing toward Taishi Bai.

Each piece was stained with magic power and was sharper than a blade.

Taishi Bai slapped out, his palm power thick, and the light that erupted illuminated both sides of the river, causing the river surface to sink, and the flying snow within dozens of feet turned into dust.

Li Youyi had already put away the golden mask and walked outside the dining hall, first looking at Yizhou Xue who had disappeared into the night.

Then he looked at the black shadow playing the flute on the shore and thought to himself: "He should be Yizhou Xue’s brother, Can Yexue. Sure enough, he is well-prepared. If we were surrounded by them, it would really be a troublesome matter."

How could Li Youyi not understand his enemies?

In legend, Can Yexue’s talent was higher than Yizhou Xue’s. He used the flute as a weapon and was not a successor, but he dared to challenge the cultivation of great arts, and his cultivation speed was no slower than a successor’s.

In the flute sound, the giant waves on the river turned into a ten-foot-tall white frost giant, punching Taishi Bai, and the frost seemed to want to freeze the river.

"Swish! Swish!"

One green and one white flying sword were recalled by Taishi Bai, shattering the frost giant.

He looked toward the river bank again.

The flute sound dissipated, and the black-clothed man had disappeared.

That Spirit Mentalist failed to escape and was captured by the four guests of the Taishi family and taken to the third floor.

Li Youyi had already returned to the second-floor cabin to meet up with Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao transmitted his voice: "The Taishi family is one of the four major families of the imperial court. The ancestor, Taishi Gong, is a powerful figure, a thousand-year pillar, and a Holy Spirit King Mentalist. It is said that he was once guided by the Fog Son and mastered half of the defensive arrays of the Yuntian Immortal Plain, Lingxiao City, and the four passes. The other half is mastered by the Third Palace Master of the Lin Terrace."

A Holy Spirit King Mentalist is a transcendent on the path of mental power cultivation, and there are only a few such people in the entire Lingxiao Life Realm.

Tuoba Butuo said: "This is not quite right! I have heard of Taishi Bai’s prestige even in the Northern Territory. He is the grandson of Taishi Gong and the son with the highest talent of Taishi Qingcang. He is absolutely a top young noble in the imperial court. When such a person travels, he should have his own official ship or treasure ship. How could he be squeezed on a ship with so many people?"

Qi Xiao laughed: "Aren’t we also on this ship? Yes, Taishi Bai is indeed prestigious, the second-highest expert under sixty in the Taishi family, but we are also different from before, no longer the young juniors of two or three years ago."

Li Youyi was silent for a long time, and after thinking it over: "I struck just now, and the people of the Taishi family must have noticed. Now, we have two paths."

"The first path is to leave the ship immediately, but we are likely to encounter Yizhou Xue and Can Yexue."

"The second path is to stay on the ship and borrow the power of the Taishi family, so we can go unimpeded all the way. Can Yexue and Yizhou Xue don’t know we are on the ship yet."

"But in case the aura fluctuation of my strike just now has been detected by the 'Jiazi Register', and the Luan Terrace sends someone to investigate, it will be no small trouble."

Qi Xiao laughed: "The imperial court’s supervision is no longer that strict, unless you have caused some earth-shattering event. I think the bigger trouble is that it is difficult for me and Tuoba, two pure immortal bodies, to explain our origins clearly. If we report our names directly, we will definitely be investigated thoroughly."

"Why don’t we just leave? It’s just Yizhou Xue and Can Yexue; it’s just right to use them to hone our fighting will," Tuoba Butuo said.

Li Youyi made a gesture of silence and looked at the door and windows.

A knock on the door came.

A girl’s voice sounded outside the door: "The Spirit Mentalist adult inside, my mistress is very grateful for your righteous strike just now and specially sent this servant to invite you to the third floor for a talk. I hope the adult will not refuse and will give us some face."

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo smiled and winked at each other, feeling that the word "old man" was very interesting.
