Chapter 135: The Tip of the Iceberg

  The dark boat was long and sharp, cone-shaped like a sharp instrument, stuck on the iron ship where Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan were sitting.

  This dark, mysterious ship was made of an unknown metal alloy, its entire body a deep, icy black. The bow was sharp as a sword's point and had stabbed deeply into the iron hull of Shi Yan's ship, nearly splitting it in two.

  The dark boat was not very long, only thirty or forty meters, and there were five people standing on it.

  As the first young man, he wore a silver long shirt, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, and he stood there with an extraordinary bearing, as if he was a cold sword that had just been unsheathed, exuding a captivating aura.

  At this time, the young man looked a bit embarrassed, dryly smiled and cupped his hands, saying from afar: "Sorry about that, I was busy controlling the boat and rushing on the road, the speed was a bit too fast. By the time I realized I was going to collide with the boat, it was already out of control. Sorry, sorry, I am willing to compensate for your losses."

  Behind him, four warriors in the state of Nirvana stood in a row, each with different heights and weights, all with calm breathing, their eyes shining brightly, their cultivation was exquisite.

  "If I were to crash into your boat, apologize and compensate for the loss, would you be so easy-going?" Xia Xinyan said calmly with a hint of menace in her eyes.

  "That..."

  The young man was taken aback, but immediately laughed dryly and said: "I'm a very easy-going person. If I really were hit by you, I wouldn't even ask for compensation. Hehe, when it comes to beautiful women, I've always been one who doesn't bother with petty details." The young man bowed repeatedly, his attitude extremely friendly, seemingly not wanting any conflict with Xia Xinyan.

  The cultivation of a young man with two heavy heavenly tribulations, slender figure, skin as warm and smooth as jade, outstanding appearance, no matter how you look at him, he is an outstanding handsome man.

  "Hmm." Xia Xinyan's tone was neither hot nor cold. "If you tell me what happened on Menluo Island, I won't hold it against you anymore."

  The stone cliff was shocked.

  This young man is obviously Gu Jian Ge of the Gu family, possessing a sword spirit and martial soul, carrying the spiritual-level weapon Dragon-Slaying Sword, and is an exceptionally outstanding young talent of the Gu family.

  Such a person, placed in the business alliance, would inevitably have an arrogant air, but this person is gentle and elegant, with a warm personality, quite unique, and it's unknown how Gu's family taught him, which piqued Shi Yan's curiosity.

  The old sword song had not spoken, but a short and stout warrior behind him frowned slightly and said faintly: "Miss, my young master is kind-hearted and willing to compensate for your losses. You can name a price."

  This person's cultivation has reached the realm of Triple Heaven, standing there with an aura as deep and profound as a mountain range. His short and stout body seems to contain the power to shake mountains.

  "What loss?" Xia Xinyan sneered, pressing in aggressively: "I won't miss that little bit of loss."

  The ancient sword song made a gesture of apology and smiled: "Miss, please calm down. On this Luo Island, there was a sudden earthquake in the previous period, which caused the ground to crack into deep trenches. At the corner of the island where the earthquake was most severe, a mountain peak suddenly emerged from the ice, with only one corner of the iceberg visible. The mountain peak emitted an astonishing chill, and seemed to have mysterious symbols flowing within it, containing unknown secrets. I happened to be traveling nearby and heard this news, so I came to take a look."

  "No need for compensation, just send us to the island." Xia Xinyan furrowed her delicate eyebrows and nodded slightly at Shi Yan, walking towards the dark electric boat's bow that was inserted into the iron ship.

  Before long, Shi Yan followed Xia Xinyan onto this ancient family's Dark Dawn Boat.

  There are several recessed slots on the deck of the Dark Dawn Electric Ark, and inside the recessed slots are placed blocks of glittering stones that seem to be a source of power for the Dark Dawn Electric Ark.

  As soon as I arrived on this dark energy boat, four fierce auras suddenly spread out from the four corners of the ship, seemingly a kind of extremely powerful attack beam, actively attacking those who boarded.

  Gu Jian smiled faintly and gave a soft shout: "Withdraw!"

  The sharp and fierce aura on the boat suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all.

  "I'll take you to the island." Gu Jian Ge's attitude was friendly, Chong Shi Yan and Xia Xin Yan smiled and nodded, saying: "Please hold on tight, I'm going to move the boat now."

  The two stone men nodded slightly with calm expressions.

  "Boom!"

  The ancient sword song stepped into the six-sided small array beside him, and the six sides of the small array burst out with six-colored strange lights. The six beams of light converged on one point, forming a dazzling miniature boat.

  The ancient sword stretched out a hand and swept it away, the small boat retreated backwards, the dark electric boat followed suit, retreating for a while before changing direction and suddenly rushing towards the port of Menluo Island.

  A miniature boat condensed from a six-colored light beam, trembling repeatedly, with the brilliance of an ancient sword being manipulated.

  The dark boat shot forward like a meteor, its speed increasing by the minute, heading straight for the harbor.

  The stout old man's face changed slightly, and he hastily said: "Young master, stop!"

  The ancient sword hummed a laugh, and with a mighty hand, pressed down fiercely, as if pressing down on a small person. Immediately, the tiny boat stopped shaking.

  "Boom!"

  The dark boat suddenly stopped in front of the harbor and stabilized steadily.

  "What the, who's messing around! Looking for death?" A large man with a bare upper body at the dock, furiously scolding, was splashed by the jet of water and was extremely angry.

  He wiped the water stains on his face, and when this big man saw clearly that the one who sprayed out the water flowers was actually Gu's family An Chen electric boat, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly smiled and apologized, "Didn't see clearly, didn't see clearly, didn't know it was your Gu family An Chen electric boat, please forgive me, forgive me."

  "It doesn't matter." Gu Jian Ge waved his hand and smiled at Xia Xinyan, saying: "Miss, we've arrived."

  "Oh." Xia Xinyan nodded and said lightly: "Let's go."

  Shi Yan quietly followed up.

  "Master?" After the two people left, the short and stout old man hesitated for a moment, saying: "These two people seem to be riding on the boat of Yinyang Cave Heaven. This boat should be the one that was hijacked. Yinyang Cave Heaven and Corpse God Sect have jointly announced that as long as they capture the male and female who hijacked this boat, they will be rewarded with a generous gift."

  "I knew it." Gu Jian Ge smiled and nodded, "If I didn't know that the Yin Yang Cave Heaven and the Corpse God Sect were both looking for this ship, I wouldn't have bumped into you either."

  "Why did the young master let them off? These two are not of high cultivation, it's easy to capture them and hand them over to the Yin Yang Cave Heaven and the Corpse God Sect. Wouldn't that be a good deal for our Gu family?" The short and stout old man asked in puzzlement.

  Gu Jian Ge smiled and shook his head, "It's clear that you four are in the state of Nirvana, yet they still dare to board the ship, obviously fearless. The moment they boarded, the dark electric boat shot out four sword auras from the four corners, with an overbearing momentum. These two people had a calm expression, but seemed to be oblivious to it, clearly not ordinary people."

  The old man seemed lost in thought, nodding slowly and saying no more.

  "Let's go, we're also heading to the island. The people from Lingbao Cave Heaven, Dongfang Family, and Tianchi Sacred Land are a day ahead of us, they should be at their destination by now. We can't delay any further." Gujian Ge stretched his waist, a sharp sword aura flashed behind him for a moment, then he seemed to transform into a sharp sword, flying out from the Anchen Electric Boat and landing at the harbor.

  "Hmph!"

  The previously arrogant and bare-chested giant suddenly had many sword scars on his body, his eyes bulged out, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

  Beside this great Han, many martial artists with refined cultivation stood by, each as silent as a cicada in winter. Not one dared to say anything more, all lowering their heads and pretending they had seen nothing.

  Inside a carriage pulled by a fire rhinoceros, Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan sat face to face. In front of the carriage, a dark-skinned man concentrated on whipping the fire rhinoceros, his expression focused.

  "That Gujian Song, his attitude is quite friendly. As a member of the illustrious Gu family, he's unusually warm and gentle." Shi Yan said suddenly after a moment of silence in the carriage.

  "Amiable? Gentle?" Xia Xinyan shook her head and sneered, "If this Gujian Ge can be considered amiable and gentle, then there are no good people in the world! This person is cunning and calculating, in the ancient family, he is notorious for being ruthless. Compared to Beimingjia's Beiming Ce, his mind is even more sinister, when he kills someone, it's also with this kind of friendly smile, without a hint of ferocity or evil, but the number of people who have died at his hands has already reached hundreds!"

  Shi Yan's face changed color.

  "If it weren't for my intimidating aura, taking the initiative to board the ship, we wouldn't have been able to leave so easily." Xia Xinyan furrowed her brow, "It's precisely because I was suppressing him with my aura, not fearing the four Nirvana Realm warriors behind him boarding the ship, that he had apprehensions and didn't dare make any rash moves. Otherwise, we would've had no choice but to engage in a fierce battle."

  "I understand." Shi Yan's face turned gloomy, and he sneered coldly: "It seems that on this journey, we won't have it easy either. Next time I meet Gu Jian Ge, I'll be careful."

  "Hmm, you must be careful." Xia Xinyan's expression was solemn. "With your cultivation, you can defeat ordinary warriors in the second stage of the Hundred Calamities and Double Heaven realm. However, against the ancient sword song, victory or defeat is uncertain. His dragon-slaying sword is forged from a piece of eighth-level demon beast fire lizard's demonic crystal, the fire lizard being a type of dragon with fire attributes. The dragon-slaying sword's flame power is astonishing, and it can easily burn your physical body to ashes. Your second-stage petrified martial soul may not be able to withstand it."

  Shi Yan's face was also stern, but his eyes were full of unyielding determination.

  Xia Xinyan glanced at him, nodding secretly in her heart. This guy seemed to be fearless no matter who he faced, and would only stir up a fierce fighting spirit. Indeed, he was a born warrior. When he arrived at the Yang family later and obtained the secret of rebirth, she wondered how much turmoil he would stir up in the endless sea.

  "A corner of an iceberg burst out from under the ground, this is Meroe Island. Wasn't there an iceberg here before?" Shi Yan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said.

  "Monroe Island is a place where volcanic eruptions occur frequently, with over a dozen volcanoes of varying sizes on the island. Each volcano erupts magma at regular intervals. That's why the Three Gods Sect, Gu House and Dongfang House didn't pay attention to this piece of land, leaving it in the hands of several martial forces on the island." Xia Xinyan explained.

  "A land of volcanoes?" Shi Yan was shocked and exclaimed: "Why would there be ice mountains emerging from it?"

  "I don't know either. Logically, this volcanic land shouldn't have glaciers, but now they really exist, and there are even mysterious symbols on them, it's really strange." Xia Xinyan was also full of doubts, shaking her head slightly.

  "It's interesting, no wonder so many forces have come to join in the excitement."

  "Uh-huh."
