Chapter 261 -259: Hooked a Big Fish
Ten days later, Lin Man’s large ship entered the deep sea.
The journey thus far had been smooth sailing, as they had not encountered any Yin Erosion Rain, and the few strands of Xinjin Wind they met were easily dissolved by several Second-Order Wind Protection Talismans.
Lin Man was a Third-tier Talisman Master, so such consumption didn’t amount to much—it was just a drizzle to her.
During these ten days, Ning Daoran had been sitting cross-legged on the deck, silently refining his body with the Eternal Green Technique and the True Yang Furnace Technique, increasing the foundation of his Wood Fire attributes.
Big Stupid Deer lay prostrate by his side, silently using the Shape-shifting Technique to refine its body, making its muscles tighter and its fur more resilient.
Transcendent Wuya held control over the Arrays, standing ever-constant under the massive mast.
Li Fengling, meanwhile, practiced his Punching Pile over and over on the deck, his Martial Artist aura surging, inciting the envy of a group of sailors who wished they could immediately prostrate themselves as his disciples.
As for the six Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Fuyun Mountain, they had also been sitting in meditation without any disturbance.
…
On this day, the sky was high, and the sea broad, with the wind calm and the waves gentle.
Suddenly, a commotion of drumming noises came from afar, shattering the tranquility of the sea.
“Be careful.”
After releasing his Golden Core Divine Sense to scout the area, Transcendent Wuya said with an extremely solemn expression, “We’ve actually encountered Robbery Cultivators! Beware, these people are not kind, it seems to be the infamous Heaven Punishment Alliance!”
The Heaven Punishment Alliance was the most rampant group of Robbery cultivation on the Tianluo Sea, daring to cause trouble not just for the ships of ordinary cultivators, but even for government and large trading company ships without hesitation.
It was said that the Heaven Punishment Alliance was composed entirely of Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, with a huge and mixed multitude. Sometimes they would even mobilize hundreds of Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators in a joint action, with such force that they could flatten ordinary Sects—and on the Tianluo Sea, they were enough to strike terror into the hearts of many.
“Robbery Cultivators!?”
Li Fengling turned around, his eyes ablaze with a fierce killing intent.
The six brothers from Fuyun Sect also turned their faces one after another.
Ning Daoran stood up majestically, and after releasing his Golden Core Divine Sense, he couldn’t help but shiver slightly. On the horizon of the distant sea, streams of Foundation Establishment Tunneling Light rushed over—there were at least a hundred of them; it truly was that detestable Heaven Punishment Alliance!
“Do not panic!”
Transcendent Wuya said, “The formation on this large ship is extremely meticulous and sturdy. Even if they come, we have nothing to fear!”
…
Lin Man’s beautiful eyes looked toward the distance, radiating calmness. As a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, she was much more composed than Li Fengling, which was no surprise considering her reputation as a prodigal daughter in Immortal White Dragon City.
However, the Tunneling Light of those Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators actually stopped a few miles away.
Then, either conjuring Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts or activating First-tier Talismans, they launched long-range Magic attacks, with sword and saber light cleaving from several miles away, creating ripples of waves on the calm sea surface!
“What’s the meaning of this?”
Transcendent Wuya frowned, not expecting the Robbery Cultivators to take such action.
Ning Daoran was somewhat speechless—what else could it mean? These Foundation Establishment Robbery Cultivators knew there were Golden Core cultivators and Late-stage Baodan Martial Artists on the boat, protected by a strong Array, so they wanted to deplete the Array Formation Restrictions with long-range attacks first, break the Array, and then wear down the Great Cultivators with a war of attrition!
For a time, the ship’s Array hummed and buzzed non-stop.
“These scoundrels of the Cultivation World!”
Transcendent Wuya, indignant, raised his hand ever so slightly and conjured a Sleeve Mini Flying Sword only a few inches in size. With a “whoosh,” it soared through the air and pierced the throat of a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivator from two miles away!
However, as the mini Flying Sword trembled and flew back, it was wildly pelted by various Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and a barrage of attacks from numerous Robbery Cultivators. For a moment, Transcendent Wuya did not dare to rashly release his Flying Sword again; he had to treasure his own foundation.
“Preposterous!”
Li Fengling clenched his teeth, and with a fierce step forward, a giant footprint appeared on the sea surface, and an entire area of water suddenly sank; followed by a surging Fist Intent that erupted with waves!
The Fist Power exploded through the air, leaving several Foundation Establishment Robbery Cultivators dead or injured!
“Kill that Martial Artist!”
Witnessing the death of their companions, the group of Robbery Cultivators, far from being afraid and scattering like birds, instead revealed a vicious demeanor.
Instantly, a dense barrage of Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Talismans, and Magic assaulted Li Fengling!
Li Fengling was indeed rash, throwing another punch that exploded in the air. The solid Azure Fist Mastery shattered dozens of Magic Artifacts on the spot, followed by a sweeping kick that rolled the waves, toppling over a dozen Robbery Cultivators hit by the Martial Artist’s aura, all spitting blood as they retreated!
However, Li Fengling’s Protective Fist Mastery also became increasingly scarce under the multitude of attacks; if this continued, he was sure to fall.
“Fellow Daoist Li.”
Ning Daoran furrowed his brows, “Quickly return to the ship; continue fighting like this is no solution!”
“If you all fear death, I, Li Fengling, do not!”
“I, Li Fengling, have only one talent—the unrestrained bravery of my punches that never looks back!”
Ning Daoran furrowed his brows again—the speech was indeed not bad, but Li Fengling was not holding the script of the main character!
It was at this moment that Ning Daoran sensed several surges of quickly advancing aura closing in!
“Li Fengling, come back quickly!”
He leaped up and landed on the gunwale, pulling out a Third-tier Lower Grade True Rock Talisman and activating it, then threw it out. The True Rock Talisman hummed and turned into a circle of stone walls around Li Fengling, blocking a tremendous amount of Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts attacks.
But a Talisman could not last long, and in the blink of an eye, the Third-tier Lower Grade True Rock Talisman burned out, and the rock wall’s mana disappeared.
Li Fengling, however, still did not retreat, fighting fiercely above the surface of the sea.
“This is bad…”
Ning Daoran looked towards the depths of the sea, realizing that the journey was indeed not simple!
“Zzt—”
From the depths of the sea, a seemingly inconspicuous golden needle suddenly shot out of the water. Despite its small size, it radiated an extremely intense aura of a magical treasure! Even with Ning Daoran’s eyesight, he barely managed to catch it, and Li Fengling, an early-stage Baodan Martial Artist, didn’t even see it at all.
Accompanied by an almost inaudible “pfft,” the golden needle pierced into Li Fengling’s temple, severely injuring the early-stage Baodan Martial Artist in an instant!
What was even more deadly was that an exceedingly strong demonic beast aura rose from the seabed, followed by a huge tail, tens of meters long, slashing out of the water and ruthlessly striking the large ship!
“Boom~~~”
The array formation restrictions shimmered with light, even emitting sparks, with a single strike causing the outermost second-tier array to crack and break.
Hidden beneath the waters was a mid-stage third-tier Catfish Demon!
Moreover, the master of the golden needle was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!
Ning Daoran’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. Lin Man was merely a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator; how had she managed to involve a late-stage Golden Core cultivator to take action? How was she entangled in such a vast vortex of interests?
At sea, countless cultivators from the Heaven Punishment Alliance closed in, beginning to violently assault the ship’s grand array with magical treasures!
“Be careful!”
Six Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Fuyun Sect steadied themselves in the middle of the deck, and immediately a strand of sword intent soared to the skies. Indeed, there was a sword array. It wasn’t very strong, but it was quite intimidating.
From within the water, a huge wave surged, fiercely striking the ship’s restrictions!
Instantly, the entire ship was lifted several meters above the water’s surface before crashing down heavily. The restrictions around the vessel continued to shatter!
“Buzz!”
In the water, the mid-stage third-tier Catfish Demon raised its huge tail once more and slammed it down vigorously. Finally, the array protecting the ship started to collapse in pieces!
It was not that the array crafted by Ning Daoran wasn’t sturdy enough, but rather that the attackers were too numerous and too powerful!
In the water, a late-stage Golden Core figure soared into the sky, a disguised elder with a masked face, his true appearance concealed by some secret technique, making his true face completely obscure.
Although Ning Daoran could use his Pupil Technique to see through it, it didn’t seem necessary. He would simply kill them all in a moment.
“You…”
Only then did Transcendent Wuya realize how terrifying the strength of the attackers was – a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, plus a mid-stage Golden Core Spiritual Beast. This was a force beyond what Lin Man’s people could withstand.
In an instant, a Divine Speed Talisman in Transcendent Wuya’s hand was activated and burst into flames. Behind him suddenly emerged wings of a top-grade Spirit Artifact level, resembling those of a dragonfly, seemingly a secret treasure. With a single flutter of the dragonfly wings, he turned into a streak of light and attempted to escape directly, leaving the large ship behind!
However, just as Transcendent Wuya flew out a few hundred meters, a golden vine swiftly rose from the water and wrapped around one of his legs.
“Die!”
Above the sea, a splash erupted and a figure leapt into the sky, delivering a fierce punch straight into the chest of Transcendent Wuya, instantaneously piercing through his chest and scattering his flesh, organs, and fragments into the air!
The one who threw the punch was clad in armor, handsome in appearance, and wrapped in the aura of a late-stage Baodan Martial Artist!
He was the master of the Immortal White Dragon City, Long Zhuojun!
After crippling Transcendent Wuya with a single punch, Long Zhuojun casually raised his hand, his fingers gripping Transcendent Wuya’s neck like eagle claws, and sneered, “You dare to take on such a task all by yourself, Fellow Daoist Wu Ya? You really have no idea what death is!”
As he spoke, he swung a ferocious punch towards the position of Transcendent Wuya’s Golden Core.
“Whizz!”
The sound of the wind howled sharply as Long Zhuojun’s punch was about to land when an Azure Dragon Spear cleaved through the air, wrapped in the aura of the Silver Dragon Water Collection, and directly bombarded Long Zhuojun’s head!
“Ning Daoran!”
Long Zhuojun’s expression twisted savagely as he stared up at the Azure Dragon Spear, bursting into laughter and said, “How did you figure out that I have long wanted to kill you?!”
With that said, Long Zhuojun threw Transcendent Wuya aside and met the Azure Dragon Spear with his hands, aiming to catch it bare-handed!

“Boom~~~”
A loud noise reverberated, and the water waves were continuously suppressed by the impact.
Indeed, Long Zhuojun, being in the late-stage Baodan Realm, had a profound foundation. He managed to catch the strike from the Big Green Dragon with his bare hands and remained unscathed, merely brushing off some dust from the back of his hand and sneered, “Is that all you’ve got? You’re certainly not worthy of Talisman Master Lin.”
On the ship, Lin Man clenched her silver teeth, activating a second-order high-grade talisman in each hand. Unfortunately, she was not a Golden Core and could not use third-tier talismans, or else she would be drained of mana in an instant.
In the water, a one-armed elder in grey appeared, holding a Golden Vine – the person who had snuck into Lin Man’s Cave Mansion. They were all acquaintances, the only unfamiliar one being the late-stage Golden Core elder with a concealed face.
…
Transcendent Wuya had been struck through the chest with a single blow, which left him gasping for breath and rendered him powerless to fight.
Li Fengling floated on the surface of the water, his eyes rolled back, unconscious after being struck in the temple by the golden needle.
On the deck, three of the six Fuyun Sect cultivators were suppressed by the horrific spiritual pressure until they spat blood ceaselessly, and the remaining three were not doing much better.
It seemed that among the people Lin Man brought, only Ning Daoran still had the ability to fight.
Amidst the wind, Ning Daoran held the Big Green Dragon, his expression grave.
He had anticipated that this trip could yield significant gains but had not expected everyone to be such a significant prize.
