When the old man said this, his words stopped abruptly, and his two dry and dull eyes showed a little panic and vigilance. He looked around, as if he was worried about who might hear what he was about to say.

Seeing this, Xu Yang knew how complicated the matter was and whispered: "Old man, please take a step to speak."

The three of them retreated to a quiet corner of the street.

Xu Yang secretly activated the method, and his spiritual consciousness turned into an invisible force and spread out like a big net, covering everything within a hundred feet of his spiritual consciousness.

After a spiritual inspection, no trace of other cultivators was found. But I found that people in the town didn't talk to each other very much, as if they were wary of each other. Moreover, the aura exuded by some of them seemed a bit manic, and their physiques were much stronger than others.

There is something strange about this small town.

After doing this, Xu Yang raised his right hand behind his back, and a red spiritual flame the size of a candle flame appeared on the tip of his little finger, which was transformed by A'Zhu's Nirvana Flame Spirit.

Then, under Xu Yang's urging, the Nirvana Spirit Flame turned into countless small fire breaths that could not be detected by the naked eye and dispersed into the surrounding void, quickly spreading a transparent layer around the three of them, blocking out other people's consciousness. and ear protection.

If an outsider looks over, there is nothing here, not even Xu Yang, the old man and the child can be seen.

The old man was completely unaware of all this.

"Old man, you can continue talking now with confidence."

The old man looked around and saw no one around, the panic in his eyes dissipated, and then leaned sideways towards Xu Yang's ear.

He whispered: "Starting from this "Moonback Town", a hundred miles to the east, there is a legendary divine island. The sea area near the divine island is not only rich in fish resources, but also produces Dongzhu, which is as big as a child's fist. But the ancestors warned that there was a group of witches called the ancient witches living on the island, and they must not be provoked. However, due to livelihood constraints, three months ago, with the discussion of many young fishermen in the town, they formed a group. A fishing fleet of more than 60 people went to the waters of Nashen Island to fish. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the Wu tribe on Nashen Island. More than 60 people were detained. Only one person managed to escape and floated with a piece of wood. Came back. But he died of his injuries three days after returning to town.”

"Why--"

At this point, the old man sighed softly, tears flashing in his dry eyes.

"My son, the father of this child, is among the more than 60 people. His life and death are still unknown." The old man's trembling voice made the listeners sigh in their hearts.

After saying that, the old man wiped his tears with his old and tattered cuffs.

When the child saw his grandpa crying, his eyes turned red. He pulled the corner of the old man's clothes with his little hands and murmured, "If grandpa doesn't cry, is there still a small stool?"

The old man stroked the child's head with his hand, a trace of relief showing on his face.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, the old man continued: "What's even more frightening is that not long after, the Wu tribe on the island came to this town. It was said that the fishermen sent by the town disturbed their gods. Of the more than 60 gods on the island, three will be killed every ten days to appease the gods' anger. If anyone breaks into the island again, they will be killed without mercy. I don't know what means were used to make some people in this town loyal to them, and let these people gain the brute force of the Wu clan. Anyone who speaks ill of the Wu clan behind their back will be arrested by those who are loyal to the Wu clan. Bind them and throw them into the sea.”

"I see, but as far as I know, although this place is remote, it is the territory of the Tiangui Sect, the largest ghost sect in Zhongyuan Continent. Didn't the people from the Tiangui Sect intervene in this matter?" Xu Yang asked.

"It is precisely because this is the territory of the Tiangui Sect. For many years, the wizards on the island have not interacted with the residents of the town and have lived in peace and harmony. In fact, the Tiangui Sect has only one person in this town. When the deacon disciple named "Li Zhi" came to the town, Li Zhi intervened. After a disagreement, the Wu tribe beat Li Zhi seriously and kidnapped him back to the island. , If anyone spreads this matter, everyone in the town will be killed."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Yang frowned.

"Old man, I have something here. Do you think you can recognize it?"

As the old man spoke, he took out a small object wrapped in a piece of black cloth from his arms. Then, he carefully unfolded the black cloth, revealing a dark wooden sign about the size of an inch. On the wooden sign was engraved a big ghost with two wings on its back.

Xu Yang took the wooden sign and looked at it in his hand. There were several complicated runes engraved on the back of the wooden sign. With just a glance, he recognized the hidden message on the rune as "Li Zhi, a disciple of Tiangui Sect".

"This is an identity token exclusive to disciples of the Tiangui Sect. Why do you have this, old man?"

"To be honest, the Gui Sect disciple "Li Zhi" and Lao Chan have been neighbors for many years that day. Before the accident, he gave this thing to me. He told me that if something happened to him, the Tian Gui Sect would definitely send someone to check here. Three Within ten feet, as long as a disciple of the Tiangui Sect approaches, the token will automatically sense it and emit a certain amount of heat. As long as you find someone from the Tiangui Sect and tell the truth, you will have a chance to rescue the captives of the God Island Witch Clan. Go away. I kept this thing close to my heart and wandered around this town in the name of begging, just to wait for someone from the Tiangui Sect. By chance, I met the young master on the street, and this token started to appear. I felt a fever in my heart. So, old man, I took the liberty to stop the young master from begging. I guess the young master must be a disciple sent by the Tiangui Sect."

"To be honest, I am the person sent by the Tiangui Sect to investigate this matter."

"Finally, I'm waiting for you, young master." The old man's tone was trembling.

The old man looked at Xu Yang's left and right sides, and asked with some disappointment: "Is the young master the only one?"

"How could he be alone? My old man is still here." Guigu Yeyan's voice came from the ghost wooden waistband hanging on Xu Yang's waist, and the voice was not loud.

"Who is it? Someone seems to be talking?" the old man said in surprise.

"It's nothing. Do you think that I am alone and can't do anything to deal with those Wu tribesmen? Please rest assured that I will first find a way to rescue the fishermen who were kidnapped by those Wu tribesmen."

The old man smiled sheepishly and said: "I believe in you, but you are weak alone. There are many shamans on the island, so it's better to be careful."

"Thank you, old man, for reminding me."

After saying that, Xu Yang stretched out his right hand and made a move in the air, and a bluestone the size of a fist flew into his palm.

As a red spiritual flame ignited, the stone turned into ashes amid a burst of crackling sounds.

This scene immediately made the old man and the children beside him gape in surprise.

"Thank you for taking the risk to tell the truth. I will temporarily accept this token and take my leave."

After saying that, Xu Yang put away the identity token, clasped his fists slightly, then turned and left.

The old man looked at Xu Yang's leaving figure and said to the child next to him: "Little Stool, if your father is still alive, maybe he can be saved."

"It's magic. I want to learn it too, so we can save daddy together." The little boy said excitedly.

"Shh-" The old man stretched out his hand and gently covered the child's mouth, making a silent movement.

The child stared at Xu Yang's back with a pair of innocent eyes as he disappeared into the street.

...

After separating from the old man, Xu Yang took the identity plate left by "Li Zhi" and found the residence of "Li Zhi". The door was smashed, the house was in a mess, and there was no sign of anyone.

He also secretly checked on several residents of this town. Special spells were placed in these people's bodies, making their bodies become violent and powerful. But for Xu Yang, these are just very low-level methods. In order not to alert others, he did not remove the spells from these people.

"It seems that what the old man said is true. Master, do you know the situation on the divine island." Xu Yang said in a message.

"Of course I know that the divine island a hundred miles east of here is the "Dolphin Island", where a group of shamans who worship sea spirits live. It was there that I met "Hai Yue'er", and Hai Yue'er was also one of those shamans. A member of the tribe. But I don’t know what the “Dolphin Island” has become after so many years.” Gui Gu Yeyan’s voice came from the waistband.

...

Ten days ago.

A young talent came from outside Yuanbei Town.

This man was handsome, tall, and had starry eyes. He looked to be in his early twenties. Her broken hair was simply tied behind her head, and she wore a light blue gown with long sleeves. Her sleeves were fluttering as she walked, giving her a somewhat Taoist air.

The young man in blue shirt passed by the gate of "Moorback Town" and stopped.

"This is a small town for mortals, so it's better to go around it. If you feel at ease, it's better to stay away from the world." He said to himself.

After bypassing the town, the young man in blue shirt saw the endless sea in the distance, and then walked straight towards the sea.

The strange thing is that his floating figure walked on the beach without leaving a single footprint, and there was not a single gravel on his shoes.

He came to the beach and took one step forward. His body floated like a leaping fish, and he stopped on the water. The waves that were pushed up naturally circled around his feet, but they did not get wet at all.

The sea breeze blew his blue gown. The rhythm of the flying gown was surprisingly consistent with the surging waves in front of him. It was as if he was a wave at this moment and had already become one with the sea.

He raised his hands and formed a Taoist seal in front of him.

I saw a flash of blue light in the seal, and a ball of aqua blue light appeared. He raised his hand, and the spiritual light twisted and transformed into a small blue fish about a foot long that jumped into the water.

There was a "pop" sound.

Under the sea, a straight blue line quickly swam toward the depths of the sea until it disappeared into the thin line between sea and sky.

After doing all this, the young man in blue shirt stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes closed tightly, and remained motionless, as if waiting for something.

A full stick of incense time.

The closed eyes of the young man in blue suddenly opened, and there was a flash of blue light in his eyes. In just a moment, the blue color disappeared without a trace, and his original black pupils returned.

"Sure enough, the place where water spiritual power is abundant is on an island deep in the sea." The young man in blue shirt whispered.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face. That smile was not frivolous at all, as calm as water, as silent as clouds, but impressive.

"Donghai, I, Liu Haiyu, am here." The young man in blue shirt said loudly.

The sound echoed on the sea surface, and was eventually lost in the endless sound of waves.
