Chapter 237: To the eastern region
Chapter 237: To the eastern region
Tang Yin said goodbye to Su Lian and Li Xian and sent them off together with a large group in one of the boats his master had given him, which left the backyard of the huge mansion that remained on the outskirts of the city and flew at great speed, disappearing in the distance soon after.
In the end, he bestowed her with some spiritual defense arrays, which are quite large and can serve her for her protection and to buy time while he returns.
'Although I don't know if this will turn out well... But I must understand priorities always.' Tang Yin thought and turned his gaze towards Bai Lixue, who was waiting for him at the entrance of the ship they would both board together with the team.
It was not Shi Yue's main ship but the other one she had given him.
Shi Yue's main ship, Tang Yin had it stored inside its special space.
After a light farewell with the other members who were nearby, Tang Yin got on the flying boat, and soon the boat shot off at top speed towards the eastern region, disappearing on the horizon.
Shi Yue smiled as she watched them from afar while standing on top of the alchemist association building.
'You are so predictable, Tang Yin. I hope everything goes well with your plans.' She thought with a smile.
'A boat that is not used, is a useless boat, huh... In the end, that boat will be yours, I don't understand why you refuse to use it now, if I will even give you my most precious treasure...' She thought smiling, and after losing sight of the spirit boat, she looked in the direction of the Sect's entrance.
Some people were moving from one side to the other while they sprayed the road with some green substance from one side to the other.
They did it in a way that was extremely difficult to notice. Even when they passed the guards at the gate, they did not notice the substance that fell there.
Shi Yue slightly raised her hand, and some of the substance appeared on her hand shortly after...
'Little snakes, what is the eagerness to seek death? I have let you live so long that you have become so arrogant... Are you really ignorant of the name of who gave you, your lands? Looks like it's time to put the trash in their place, eh...' She thought, and a provocative, beautiful, but extremely dangerous smile shone between her lips as she looked at these little people.
She had her own things to deal with, that's why she disappeared from that place....
...
And so, the days passed as Tang Yin traveled on the flying boat.
This flying boat was quite fast, though not as fast as the other one. But they were able to travel a large portion of the land in just a few days.
It is a boat made for long journeys, so it was fast enough to get from one region to another in a few months.
But it was not a trouble-free journey.
Because Tang Yin wanted everyone to be in their best shape, most of those on board had to cultivate the entire trip with pills Tang Yin gave them. And during that time, they passed over several spiritual forests.
The flying spirit beasts in those places began to attack them, and Tang Yin, together with Bai Lixue and both assassins sent by Shi Yue, had to clear the way.
Those two assassins were in shock when they saw Tang Yin and Bai Lixue fight.
Not only did they complement each other very well, but their individual strength was really great.
'What kind of geniuses has Madam encountered?' They thought to themselves in shock when they saw them like this.
In fact, it was because of this that the two of them began to talk some more.
"What are your two's names?" Tang Yin asked as they spoke, and they smiled.
"The Madam gave us the names Yun and Yao when she picked us up, so that's our name. We are orphan brothers; the Madam is like our mother." Replied the man, and Tang Yin nodded with some surprise.
"Now I understand, so you guys are trained by my master?" he asked, and they both nodded.
"Yes, Madam is the one who taught us how to fight and gave us these cultivation techniques." They replied, and then Tang Yin nodded.
'Assassins raised by her... Looks like she has her own concerns. Besides, they might be from some organization, from the clothes they wear...' Tang Yin thought.
"Young Sir, we can see that Madam really trusts you. It's good that Madam was finally able to find a personal disciple she can trust." The woman said with a smile, slightly surprising Tang Yin.
"Why do you say so?" he asked doubtfully.
She smiled.
"Madam has never allowed anyone else to be in control of her personal ship. She says it is one of her greatest treasures, but we can feel the presence of its device in your body." She said, and Tang Yin was slightly surprised.
'Is it one of her greatest treasures? Does she cherish it that much?' Tang Yin thought doubtfully and began to doubt even more as to why she had given it to him this time.
He couldn't quite understand what she was planning by doing so, but he could only feel happy in his heart.
'Well... She'll have her reasons.' He thought, but that wasn't what he originally wanted to know.
"I mean, why 'finally'? Did my master have any disciples before?" He asked doubtfully, and Yao, the female assassin, looked at him dubiously.
"Don't you know, Young Master?" She asked, and Tang Yin shook his head with a smile.
Then they both looked at each other a little but nodded to each other.
"We can't tell much then, but the madam had two disciples before you. The rest she'll have to tell you." They both replied.
Tang Yin was a little surprised but nodded slightly.
'It makes sense that she had disciples, but I don't understand why she couldn't trust them... Who were they? Could they be dead? After all, she's over 2 thousand years old...' He thought, but in the end, he could only sigh internally and stop worrying about such things.
Though, he had something new in his mind that he should ask her when he returned.
After that, they continued to talk about several more things, as Yun and Yao told Tang Yin about their powers and the type of cultivation technique they were cultivating. In addition, Tang Yin told them in detail about where they would be going while defending the flying boat from the attacks of some flying spirit beasts.
Thus, the weeks passed as they traveled at full speed...
The huge ship was getting closer and closer to the eastern region...
