Chapter 465: Spirit Snake Island, Xie Xun

Spirit Snake Island is a small island in the South China Sea, not very far from the mainland, yet quite large in area. Three mountains rise on the island, covered in lush vegetation, with birds singing and flowers blooming—making it an excellent summer retreat.

The boat carrying Granny Golden Flower and her group had just reached the shore. Granny Golden Flower stepped to the bow and suddenly spotted several large ships anchored in the distance along with several Beggar Sect disciples. Her expression darkened, and she whispered, “A Li, keep an eye on them.” Her voice was aged yet filled with icy murderous intent.

The dozen or so boatmen on board hadn’t yet reacted when they saw Granny Golden Flower lift her hand slightly. Ye Yu Sui Feng and the others quickly sensed a sharp gust of wind approaching. Unable to dodge in time, their bodies stiffened, leaving them motionless.

A Li, unimpressed, led Zhou Zhi Ruo out of the cabin. “Understood, Granny.”

Ye Yu Sui Feng and the others were all Beggar Sect disciples. Seeing Granny Golden Flower pin their acupoints for no reason, they were shocked. Then, out of the corner of their eyes, they noticed the Beggar Sect disciples guarding the large ships in the distance shouting in panic and crying out in pain. Before long, Granny Golden Flower returned, hunched over and coughing.

A Li quickly stepped forward to support her…

With a flick of her sleeve, Granny Golden Flower freed Ye Yu Sui Feng and the others from their locked acupoints. “Come with me to the island,” she ordered in an unyielding tone.

“Huh?” Ye Yu Sui Feng and the others looked troubled.

“You won’t lack money. Stay on the island for a while. Without my orders, you’re not allowed to go anywhere.”

“…”

Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Yu Sui Feng. As Beggar Sect disciples who had followed him out to sea, they would be extremely resentful if trapped on Spirit Snake Island.

Ye Yu Sui Feng’s face twisted in frustration. He hadn’t expected such trouble after coming to Spirit Snake Island. He had hoped to try his luck and trigger either Xie Xun’s or Chen Youliang’s mission. But Granny Golden Flower was too cautious, forbidding them from acting on their own. What a hassle.

As he pondered, he quickly noticed Granny Golden Flower’s darkening gaze. Helplessly, Ye Yu Sui Feng bowed and replied, “We’ll follow Granny’s orders.” He decided to calm Granny Golden Flower first, then see what would happen next.

…

Not long after the group arrived on the island, another boat approached Spirit Snake Island!

A man in green robes, wearing a conical hat, swiftly landed on the beach. Glancing at the ships stranded nearby and then at the large ships in the distance, he frowned slightly. Not wanting to delay, he moved swiftly and disappeared from the boatmen’s sight in just a few moments.

On the beach, the footprints in the sand were very distinct. By following the direction of the footprints, it was not difficult to trace where Granny Jinhua and the others had gone… When passing by a row of bamboo houses, the man stopped. “Brother, help me release these pressure points.” Upon pushing open the door, he saw a group of burly men in various stiff postures inside, like a vivid sculpture gallery. One of them, who appeared quite cheerful, had his side face turned toward the man at the door. It was he who had heard some noise earlier and noticed someone passing through the gaps in the bamboo house. “A disciple of the Beggars’ Sect?” The newcomer let out a soft exclamation and asked, “Where did Granny Jinhua go?” “Into the bamboo forest behind.” The man whose pressure points were being released was actually Ye Yu Sui Feng. He regretted speaking as soon as he did, suddenly realizing that the newcomer might also be after the Dragon Slaying Sword. If the other party decided to kill them to silence them, it would be an unjust disaster. Tap! Tap! His chest trembled, and the ominous thoughts in Ye Yu Sui Feng’s mind vanished as his limbs regained their strength. With a laugh, he said, “Thanks!” When he turned to thank the newcomer, he suddenly found that the person at the door had disappeared. “Brother Ye Yu, please release our pressure points quickly! If we wait any longer, Elder Chen and the others will probably be gone!” Seeing Ye Yu Sui Feng regain his mobility, the group inside was overjoyed and hurriedly reminded him. After releasing their pressure points, Ye Yu Sui Feng looked solemn and ordered, “That person’s technique of releasing pressure points from a distance was very skilled. He’s likely a top expert listed on the Dragon Ranking. If we encounter him later, avoid confrontation unless it’s absolutely necessary.” … Ye Yu Sui Feng and his group rushed to the open area in the bamboo forest behind, where the battle was nearing its end! Although Chen Youliang brought a large number of elite members from his sect to form the Beggars’ Sect’s Dog-Fighting Formation when he went to Lingshe Island for the second time, they were quickly slaughtered by the powerful Xie Xun, who possessed the Dragon Slaying Sword. Even the two elders of the Beggars’ Sect, peak experts at the Liberation Realm, couldn’t hold out long against the blind Xie Xun—one died and the other was injured, with his arm broken as he lay on the ground, bleeding profusely. Granny Jinhua stood outside the circle with A Li… “How is that person there?” Naturally, Ye Yu Sui Feng and his group didn’t dare show themselves. They hid carefully behind the bamboo forest, scanning the scene and spotting another young man standing outside as well. The latter, dressed in white and holding a sword, stood at the back, watching Xie Xun display his might with great excitement and enthusiasm. “…It’s not him.”

With just one glance in the night rain, Ye Yu Suifeng knew right away that the person was not the one who had untied his pressure points. Though he hadn’t seen the person’s clothes clearly with the corner of his eye, his intuition told him their temperaments were completely different.
“He’s not the one who untied my pressure points.”
Ye Yu Suifeng’s words reminded the others.
“Could it be that little Japanese brat?”
The tone of the group shifted slightly.
After looking at each other, several of them showed a sly smile: Since it wasn’t the person who had untied their pressure points, it must be some Japanese player who had crossed the ocean from Fusang to steal the Dragon Slaying Sword from Ling She Island.
“I’ll go kill him.”
“No, that kid seems to have Xie Xun’s full trust right now. Besides, Xie Xun is blind—any slight movement from us will draw his attack…”
Ye Yu Suifeng cautiously dismissed the idea. After scanning the area, he suddenly heard a clumsy voice coming from over there:
“Elder!”
Xie Xun showed signs of listening.
The young Japanese player with a delicate appearance spoke in clumsy Mandarin:
“The disciples of the Beggar Sect are indeed loyal and righteous, but Elder, if they keep attacking Ling She Island, who knows if they won’t bring more people one day. You are highly skilled in martial arts, so you’re not afraid. But if your adopted son arrives, I’m afraid…”
Xie Xun frowned. Sure enough, a murderous intent covered his face as he slowly walked toward the Beggar Sect elder lying on the ground.
Chen Youliang was shocked and stepped forward to stop him, but was slashed by a sword, spitting blood and suffering severe injuries.
In the bamboo forest, Ye Yu Suifeng and his group immediately looked panicked:
“That kid is really cunning. With just one sentence, he hit the biggest fear in Xie Xun’s heart. Now, with no one to rely on, Xie Xun is most worried about the whereabouts of his adopted son, Zhang Wuji.”
“The elder is in danger!”
“What should we do?”
Just as the group was anxious, a system prompt suddenly sounded:
Rescue two Beggar Sect elders from Xie Xun’s grasp and escort them out to sea…
Ye Yu Suifeng and the others immediately looked at each other in shock!
Rescue them right under Xie Xun and Granny Jin Hua’s noses?!
