Chapter 4234
The other alchemists trailed behind, encircled by the members of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect, and none of these pill masters dared to resist!
“Patriarch Mu, there’s still a group of pill masters caught in the storm, and their fates remain uncertain,” Feng Xing informed Mu Qiufeng.
“Among them is Kai, who has been pursued by the Demon Sealing Alliance for a century’s worth of offerings. You should send someone to investigate!”
Feng Xing urged Mu Qiufeng.
“Oh? Kai is among them? That’s perfect; we can use him to negotiate with the Demon Sealing Alliance,” Mu Qiufeng replied, his eyes gleaming with interest. He gestured to a bearded middle-aged man, saying, “Elder Liu, take a team to pilot the spirit boat and check on them. Besides rescuing Kai, do your best to bring back the other pill masters alive.”
“Understood!” Elder Liu responded with a nod, leading his team to set off on the spirit boat.
The Zhentian Dharma Sect had gathered numerous pill masters with the intention of having them refine pills for free in the future. Simply put, these alchemists were expected to serve the sect without compensation!
If these pharmacists were to perish, they would lose all their value!
This small island possessed numerous resources, yet due to the lack of pharmacists within the Zhentian Dharma Sect, much of it went to waste.
This situation prompted Wang Qingshi to lead a faction of the Zhentian Dharma Sect disciples away, where they began to learn alchemy. They even set their sights on seizing Pill God Island to enhance the sect’s pill-refining capabilities!
Having struggled with the shortage of alchemists on this remote island, Wang Qingshi took decisive action!
Meanwhile, Su Tianshuo and the others were brought to the grand hall of the Zhentian Dharma Sect. Although they were provided with good food and drink, their freedom was severely restricted!
They found themselves locked in rooms surrounded by formations, and as none of the pill masters understood the intricacies of formations, escape was utterly out of the question!
“That old trickster Feng Xing! If I ever get the chance, I’ll see him dead…” Bao Longxing bellowed in frustration!
Su Tianshuo, however, sighed softly, “Calm down. Let’s just be compliant for now. I never expected to be outsmarted after a lifetime of scheming!”
Resigned, Su Tianshuo lay back on the bed, accepting his fate.
Bao Longxing, seeing this, wore a helpless expression as he sat at the table, pouring himself some mulled wine.
Meanwhile, Kai and his group had managed to escape the storm and were rapidly moving away on the spirit boat!
If the spirit boat were to suddenly fail and sink, the powerful suction from the storm could easily drag them down!
“Everyone, stay vigilant! We must distance ourselves from the storm before we can relax!” Kai called out to the group.
Gu Tianzhao, leading the members of the Two Yi Sect, worked tirelessly to maintain the spirit boat’s course, urging it onward!
After traveling hundreds of miles away from the storm, the spirit boat began to emit sharp, distressing sounds!
“Sect Master, the spirit boat can’t hold out much longer; we need to abandon ship…” Gu Tianzhao shouted urgently!
“Alright, everyone, take to the air! Do not stay on the spirit boat!” Kai instructed, and with that, he leapt into the air, hovering above the tumultuous waters!
Seeing him take flight, the others quickly followed suit!
Just as everyone cleared the spirit boat, it erupted in an explosion and began to sink!
Dozens of individuals floated in mid-air, gazing down at the vast ocean, momentarily at a loss for what to do next!
“Fellow Daoist Chen, what’s our next move?” Chen Wenliang asked Kai.
Kai scanned the surroundings before responding, “President Chen, let’s select a few of the strongest pill masters and split up to search for the island.”
“Everyone else should stay put; no one should wander off. This way, we can conserve our spiritual energy.”
“Regardless of whether we locate the island or not, we must regroup here in a day,” he added.
“Good plan, let’s proceed as you suggest!” Chen Wenliang agreed.
Given the circumstances, this was the best approach; if they all searched for the island together, some weaker alchemists might not have enough energy to maintain their flight halfway through.
Chen Wenliang selected several of the strongest alchemists and paired them into small groups.
Meanwhile, Kai preferred to navigate alone, as he was accustomed to traveling without assistance, which made it less cumbersome for him!
