Eternal Tranquility

Amidst the long roar, the blue salamander flicked its tail, and its terrifying and weird head tried to twist back, as if to see how badly it was injured. After seeing his blood flowing out, an angry cry sounded again.

It swung and twisted, and Peng Changsheng was surprised to find that its direction had changed!

Liu Qinghuan was also surprised. At that time, he saw that the situation was unstoppable and basically gave up and took back the giant sword. I would follow him later because I wanted to try out the newly-learned first form of the Eight-Character Sword Jue - Breaking the Zi Jue: Breaking through the Clouds and Fog.

He had only recently mastered this sword technique and had not used it in actual combat, so he wanted to see how it would work. As a second-level monster with rough flesh and thick skin, the blue salamander is the best target to use the Po Zi Jue to see the effect. Unexpectedly, it awakened the unconscious blue salamander.

The blue salamander's forward momentum continued unabated, but due to its own twisting, its direction had changed drastically. It flew to the right, and soon hit the sea, splashing water all over the sky.

The big ship had already moved away quickly. After more than ten breaths, the aura of the dragon head statue suddenly dimmed, and the ship's speed dropped sharply.

When Liu Qinghuan and others rushed back to the ship, they saw Peng Liansheng and all the young disciples kneeling down, crying and shouting: "Thank you seniors for saving your life!"

Others also shouted at the same time: "Thank you to the seniors for saving my life!"

"Haha!" Yang Yunqiao laughed and walked to one side to avoid their kneeling: "The person you want to thank is not me, but our Junior Brother Liu."

Liu Qinghuan walked over and helped Peng Liansheng up: "It's our good luck. Let's get up. It's not safe here. The blue salamander is nearby. We don't know if it will come. It's better for us to leave quickly."

"Yes, yes!" Peng Liansheng responded quickly, took another sip before standing up, and ordered the others to get to their places quickly.

Peng Liansheng walked up to Liu Qinghuan and said respectfully: "Senior, although we have deviated a little from the route, we can reach Pengjia Island in one day at most."

Liu Qinghuan said yes and said he understood, and asked them about the storm situation at sea. After asking them to pay careful attention, they returned to their cabin.

Although the heavy rain continued afterwards, they finally encountered no more accidents. In the middle of the next day, they finally arrived at the island where the Peng family was located.

Under the dark night, small islands, large and small, are like shadows floating in the dark sea, quietly waiting for guests from afar.

The Peng family members on the boat were obviously smiling. The big boat passed through the small islands lightly and skillfully, and finally sailed into a bay and docked at the pier of the largest island among them.

The sound of wind and rain in the bay seemed to be much quieter. Liu Qinghuan could vaguely see countless ships moored around the pier through the huge moonstone standing on the pier, as well as the simple wooden houses near the pier.

He had already explored it with his spiritual consciousness. The island had continuous mountains, and there were many wooden or stone houses clustered in the mountain canyons, just like the sea villages in other places on the mainland. The scene was better than he had imagined.

Peng Liansheng humbly came over and asked Liu Qinghuan and others to disembark: "Seniors, Pengjia Island has arrived. The juniors have just informed the family owner, who has rushed to the dock to greet them. Seniors, should you wait here for a while or..."

Liu Qinghuan said: "There is no need for so many red tapes, we can just go in."

So Peng Liansheng led the way, and several people got off the pier, passed through several canyons, and flew to the island.

Peng Lianzhi, the head of the Peng family, is a vigorous old man in the late stage of foundation building. He walks vigorously and quickly, with a flushed face left by the sea breeze all year round. At this time, he was driving out with almost all the clan members who remained in the clan. On the way, he met Liu Qinghuan and others who had entered the mountain.

"Hahaha, my Taoist friends, you have worked hard all the way!" Peng Lianzhi said in a loud voice, and rushed over to greet Liu Qinghuan and the others.

After some pleasantries, Peng Lianzhi welcomed several people into the main hall of the largest courtyard in the valley, where a sumptuous table of wine and food was already waiting for everyone.

Liu Qinghuan didn't like this kind of behavior very much, but he didn't say anything because of the other party's kindness, so he sat down calmly.

Peng Lianzhi raised his cup and said solemnly: "This time, because of my Peng family's affairs, several Taoist friends from the superiors have come all the way. I, Peng Lianzhi, and the entire Peng family are deeply touched and will not dare to do so from now on. I may forget my kindness for a moment!”

Liu Qinghuan kept a faint smile, neither enthusiastic nor cold. The other three were more open-minded, and with Peng Lianzhi's tactful words and the several Peng family members who accompanied the wine, they deliberately flattered them, so the atmosphere at the table was quite good.

Along the way, Liu Qinghuan noticed that there were at least a thousand people living on this island, and there were at least hundreds of disciples of the Peng family who appeared, most of whom were below the fifth level of Qi training. There are three monks above the level of Foundation Establishment. Among them, the one with the highest level of cultivation is Peng Lianzhi, the head of the Peng family, who has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The strength of this small family should not be underestimated.

After the banquet, spiritual tea was served. Liu Qinghuan took a sip of tea and said, "Fellow Daoist Peng, it's quite late now, but I'm here to help. Please tell everyone about the latest situation."

Peng Lianzhi had already prepared the draft. When the other party finally asked about it, he immediately started talking non-stop.

Nowadays, the situation on the newly discovered Huangyun Island has become very serious. The Haisha Faction is pressing forward step by step, and the Peng family has to tighten its control on the island again and again.

Liu Qinghuan also learned the whole process from his words. The location of Huangyun Island goes deep into the Eastern Wilderness Sea, which was just a vast ocean a few years ago. Not long ago, a member of the Peng family happened to pass by there and discovered that there were three connected islands, one large, two small, and appeared there at some point.

In the vast sea, this kind of thing happens often. Sometimes an island suddenly disappears, and sometimes a new island suddenly appears. The newly appeared islands usually bring some things from the sea that are only found in the deep sea. The Peng family went to the island to investigate and found extremely rich yellow mica minerals. Later, they simply named the island Huang. Cloud Island.

"Now on Huangyun Island, my Peng family disciples can only barely hold on. They occupy the largest island with a slight advantage in the early stage, but the two adjacent small islands have been occupied by the Haisha Sect."

"How far is Huangyun Island from here?" Yang Yunqiao asked.

Peng Lianzhi replied: "Starting from my Peng family's island, it will take more than half a month to get there by the fastest boat!"

"So far? Is it still too late for us to get there?"

"Yes." Peng Lianzhi said confidently: "The Haisha faction is in the north, farther away. Even if they want reinforcements, it will take them a month and a half to arrive."

Gao Ming said angrily: "That small sect is so far away and still comes to rob the island. Isn't this a bandit?"

"Isn't it?" Peng Lianzhi smiled bitterly: "Back then, the two foundation-building female cultivators from Feiyue Tower and the descendants of True Lord Minghua from the Shaoyang Sect were visiting the Haisha Sect. After hearing about Huangyun Island, they immediately took action. Fight for..."

Liu Qinghuan's eyes flashed. There is a flaw in what Peng Lianzhi said, how could it be such a coincidence!

But he didn't intend to ask his question. The truth is sometimes not that important. As long as he knew that the Peng family asked for help from the Wenshi sect, and the Wenshi sect knew about the existence of the yellow mica mine, as long as they fought for it, the Peng family would mine the ore and exchange it with the sect for supplies, or for their children to enter the sect.

After roughly understanding the progress of the matter, Liu Qinghuan said: "Now that the night is deep, let's rest for the night and head to Huangyun Island tomorrow."

Peng Lianzhi quickly thanked him gratefully, and said that the boat had been prepared, and asked Liu Qinghuan and others to rest peacefully.

Early on the next morning, a French boat that was twice as big as the boat they came on was parked at the dock. The entire boat was made of smooth brown wood and shone in the early morning light.

The storm had subsided last night and the sun had risen.

"So beautiful!" Xi Xiaomei exclaimed as she boarded the boat.

Peng Lianzhi looked at the ship as if he were his own child, his eyes full of love and satisfaction. He said to everyone: "This is the largest Dharma boat of our Peng family. It took several generations of talent to build and is specially used for long-sea navigation. The light boats that several Taoist friends rode on before are only suitable for safe inland seas." , if we go to the open sea, only such a large ship can withstand the harsh environment at sea and the attacks of powerful sea beasts..."

Liu Qinghuan was holding a jade slip and looking at it. This was the map of the nearby sea area that he asked Peng Lianzhi for. The map marked the locations of various islands in the sea in detail. Huangyun Island is in the east and north, further away from here than Pengjia Island is from Donghua Prefecture.

His eyes fell on a long and winding line farther away, dividing the entire sea area into two parts, and the sea on the other side of the long line was blank.

That long line is an area full of space cracks!
