Chapter 46 Returning to the Island
"Really? The two fellow daoists are being polite."

Luo Furong's face also softened. Although she is an iceberg beauty, it doesn't mean she can't be a human being.

What's more, she is also not breathing well now, and if something happens, she really has nothing to say.

"Since the mission has been completed, and we are happy to welcome Fu Rong back, Tang An, set off to return to the island. Everyone has contributed a lot this time, and bonuses are indispensable."

Liu Yang said with a smile, his face was full of kindness. If he hadn't experienced the scene just now, everyone would have thought he was so easy to get along with.

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

The gray-robed man's cheeks were covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly directed the spirit boats to turn around and start to evacuate.

Liu Yang and Liu Wen even warmly invited Luo Furong and the others to their spirit boat to cook wine and talk freely, as if nothing had happened just now, and the two of them kept silent about the sea octopus inner alchemy.

You must know that it is worth more than [-], and there is no market for it. It is also an extremely important treasure for the monks in the foundation period.

More than a dozen people entered the cabin and sat down one after another in a living room. Immediately, beautiful maidservants brought various spirit fruits and spirit wine.

Xie Huan was the weakest, sitting at the bottom, no one paid attention to him, and Liu Yang and Liu Wen didn't even look at him. In their view, it was a waste of time for this kind of monk in the mid-stage of refining Qi to look at him.

Xie Huan was at ease, happily drinking Lingguo Lingjiu and listening to them chatting about the situation on the island.

It turns out that in the past year or so, some major events have occurred. The Xuanyin Sect and other sects joined forces and had several large-scale conflicts with the Tianlei Sect in the four seas. Under the impact, during the battle, four foundation-building monks fell, and countless monks were killed and injured during the Qi refining period.

"Mr. Zhang and the others... have fallen?"

Luo Furong's heart was shocked.

"Isn't it? We were drinking together yesterday, but today we're separated."

Liu Yang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his tone a little low and sad.

They are both top ten foundation builders of Luoxia Island. Although there are many conflicts on weekdays, most of them are colleagues. The loss of several people made them feel a little bit sad.

Liu Wen said with emotion: "Fortunately, you and Xiao Ping have made breakthroughs one after another. The island's foundation-building monks go to four plus two, and there are still eight. We can hold the situation for the time being."

"How is Xuanyin teaching them?"

Luo Furong asked calmly.

"It is said that they also suffered heavy losses. They mobilized five magic weapons to suppress Tianlei Island. They fought in the waters of the main island for three months, causing thunderstorms, floating corpses all over the sea, and monks' blood everywhere."

Liu Yang's complexion was pale, as if immersed in the terrifying scene, he said in a deep voice:
"It is rumored that in this battle, they lost nineteen foundation-building monks. The master of the Feiyun Sect, Yan Zhiming, who presided over the battle, was also severely injured. Two of the five magic weapons around the island were damaged, which made them retreat. Both sides entered a relatively stable stage."

Five magic weapons!

Except for Xie Huan, everyone present was shocked.

The magic weapon is the treasure that ordinary monks dream of, even the monks in the foundation building period are difficult to control.

What Xie Huan thought of was another question. The five faction alliance's action may be just a test, first to test the deadline for healing, and second to test the trump card of Tianleizong.

In Lin Zhensheng's jade slip, it was written that Yu Hexu had colluded with the Hai Clan, and since the Five Faction Alliance was his archenemy, he would definitely know a thing or two about it.

And this conflict, choosing to fight at a time when the peace is at its limit, is enough to show its ambition, it will definitely not be an ordinary fight, it must be a battle to exterminate the clan.

Therefore, the scale of this war will not be low, and the duration will not be short.

Xie Huan saw that everyone's faces were solemn, with expressions of nervousness, shock, and horror appearing on their faces. In order to avoid suspicion, they also pretended to be shocked.

But after pretending for a while, he felt that the muscles on his face were numb, and his eyes were sore. He touched his face, relaxed, and continued to greedily drink the spirit wine to nourish his mana.

"During these several conflicts, several extremely powerful beast masters appeared in the Xuanyin Sect, who were able to control sea beasts in the foundation-building period. Fearing that something might happen, Mr. Fan decided to clean up the sea beasts that besieged Luoxia Island, so as not to become a monster in the future. A sharp weapon in the hands of the enemy."

Liu Wen added: "So in the past year, the core task of the escort team has been to clean up the sea beasts, and they have carried out several large-scale cleanings. Now the sea beasts around the island are no longer good, and the remaining ones are being cleaned one after another. "

"Mr. Fan's move is wise."

Luo Furong nodded in agreement.

"Furong came back this time, did you find anything unusual in this sea area?" Liu Yang asked suddenly.

"abnormal?"

Luo Furong frowned slightly: "What is Mr. Liu referring to?"

"Well, how should I put it, there seem to be ruthless people haunting the nearest sea area. Many members of the escort team, or the monks on the nearby Spirit Island, disappeared inexplicably, or fell down when passing through this sea area. .”

Liu Yang thought for a while and said, paused, and added: "It seems that it started during the period when Fu Rong was not on the island."

Could it be that evil thing?

Both Xie Huan and Luo Furong shuddered.

And the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was possible. The thing had been entrenched on this route for more than half a year, and the timing was just right.

Luo Furong ignored Xie Huan intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that he was calmly drinking the spiritual wine with his usual expression, and then she calmed down a little, and calmly replied: "I didn't find anything unusual, could it be that people from the Five Faction Alliance did it?"

"I hope, this kind of thing is actually simpler, but I heard that there seem to be monks in Xuanyin Sect, even monks in the Foundation Establishment period, who inexplicably perish in this sea area."

Liu Yang looked a little helpless, and said with a wry smile.

It should be that evil thing without a doubt.

Xie Huan and the others knew it well.

And in this way, that thing went directly to the Tianlei Sect, and even the opposite of the Five Faction Alliance, which was only good for the few of us, not bad.

Half a day later, the spirit boat finally arrived at Luoxia Island.

A colorful glow came, and the whole island and the sea were in the shining and warm light, and the sea seemed to be floating with a layer of golden halo, which was extraordinarily bright.

Xie Huan stared slightly. The island seemed to have changed. Compared with before, it was too dazzling. It was placed on the sea like a gem, giving people the feeling that its energy had increased.

"It's been a long time since I've seen this scene of the sunset glowing like the sea and the sky, and flying with the monks."

Luo Furong said softly, a large number of spirit boats are speeding on the sea surface, without the previous closed control, the monks are released to clean up the sea beasts, and the near sea has become very safe.

"The island protection array has been activated to the strongest energy level. This defensive energy is comparable to those of the island domains of the fourth-level spirit islands."

Liu Yang smiled slightly, and stretched his body against the glow, enjoying the beauty of life.

Luo Furong didn't speak, but also smiled, immersed in the beautiful scenery and peace, but now she is no longer the same as when she left, and she no longer has a sense of belonging to Luoxia Island.

She glanced at Xie Huan intentionally or unintentionally, that handsome face looked warmer and more charming under the light of the sunset.

Xie Huan turned his face just in time, met her eyes, smiled lightly in return, and there was a flash of light in those deep eyes.

Luo Furong's heart beat faster, she turned her face back nervously, and stared forward, not daring to look around.

After landing on the island, Luo Furong followed Liu Yang and others to return to the island, and asked Xie Huan and others to disperse where they were, and contact the nameplate if there was anything to do.

She glanced at Xie Huan, pouted slightly, and turned to leave.

"Finally back, my vacation dream."

Zhao Shuifan kissed the beach. For monks, being able to return from each mission is the greatest gift from heaven. No one knows which mission will be their end.

"Xie Huan, you're not bad, why don't you retreat together? My aura resides on the top of the armor, and I will share a secret room with you."

Zhao Shuifan warmly invited Xie Huan.

"No, I have other things to do."

Xie Huan politely declined.

"Alright then, call me whenever you need to."

Zhao Shuifan patted him on the shoulder vigorously, then glanced at Lu Ran contemptuously, and said with a snort, "King, goodbye."

He waved his hand and left alone.

Lu Ran snorted coldly, and nodded slightly to Xie Huan: "Brother Xie, farewell." He also drifted away.

The sun is shining on the coast, the golden sand is shining, and the waves are crashing, making a peaceful sound.

Xie Huan smiled slightly, smelling the saltiness and freshness in the air, and feeling the gentleness and tranquility in his heart.

He took out the nameplate, and a lot of information flashed on it.

There was Ning Jiujiu, there was the "Luoxia Island Treating the Rich Alliance", and there was even Zhang Ping's.

This Xianyuan really has perseverance. Xie Huan clicked on it and said, "Why does my brother keep ignoring me? Is it because my sister forbids me?" It's my birthday, can my brother come out to accompany me? If my sister is worried, you can come together."

Xie Huan browsed through it roughly, and it was all this kind of information. From the time point of view, the frequency of posting is basically every two or three months. I don’t know if it is a group post.

Then I clicked on Ning Jiujiu's message, and there was only one message: "I'm in seclusion, the time is uncertain, I can't contact you before I leave, take care."

He opened the "Luoxia Island Treating the Rich Alliance", and there were all kinds of gossip about dead people, sea beast removal, making money, and a lot about the current situation. A lot of keyword metaphors are used, such as "thunder and lightning fall", "the yin energy is overwhelming, unstoppable", "four chickens died" and so on.

I didn't find any useful information. Instead, I felt a kind of impetuousness and anxiety from the group chat. It seemed that everyone had a premonition of something and was about to move.

Some people worry about the safety of their lives, and some people worry that they will not be able to seize the opportunity in the coming storm. Everyone has their own thoughts, calculations and worries.

Xie Huan put away the nameplate, put on the silver mask, and headed to the Canglong Chamber of Commerce. He wanted to dispose of the items on his body in exchange for the resources for the next stage of cultivation.

I met many monks on the road, all with nervous faces, keeping a certain distance and vigilance from each other.

Moreover, the number of monks gathered near Fangshi and the Chamber of Commerce has increased a lot compared to a year ago, and there are guards stationed there to maintain order.

Xie Huan directly entered the Canglong Chamber of Commerce, and immediately a beautiful waitress came forward, showing professional enthusiasm and a smile: "Welcome Immortal Master, how can I help you?"

"Is Xiaokui there?"

Xie Huan asked directly.

"Sister Kui? It turns out that Master Immortal is Sister Kui's guest. Master Immortal, wait a moment. I'll invite Sister Kui right away."

The waitress took Xie Huan to the rest area, then turned around and retreated into the shop.

Soon, Xiaokui came out, wearing a satin gown, embroidered with exquisite flowers and cloud patterns, flowing with spiritual energy, adding a bit of beauty to the originally beautiful face, and attracting sideways glances as soon as she appeared.

She is already a monk, and now she is the leader of the maids. Except for the old customers before, she generally no longer receives new customers. The moment she saw Xie Huan, she immediately recognized it and exclaimed in surprise: "Senior, it is you Quick, please come inside!"

The voice was a little excited.

It made the maids and monks in the shop keep looking at Xie Huan.

"I haven't seen you for a year, and fellow daoist looks a little more beautiful."

Xie Huan praised a few words, and followed Xiaokui into the shop.

"Senior really knows how to make Xiaokui happy. It's just the word "Friends of the Daoist."

Xiaokui was a little apprehensive, and led Xie Huan into a luxurious private room, and asked someone to bring tea and spiritual fruit, filled Xie Huan's cup, returned a sweet smile, and hurriedly went to invite Yang Yi.
