"Bean Soldier?"
In mid-air, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Xumi’s eyes.
As the peak master of Xinjian Peak, he had a wide range of knowledge and was not unfamiliar with some of the methods used by cultivators within the sect.
However, his sharp spiritual sense quickly noticed something amiss, and a sword QI instantly flew out of his body.
Whoosh.
A seemingly ordinary sword Qi silently landed at the highest peak of the island mountain.
Without a sound, the mountain peak collapsed like a block of tofu.
"Boom!"
A figure covered in strange colors flew out in a panic as the mountain peak collapsed!
"It’s that Nascent Soul from the Feather Serpent Tribe!"
Zhen Boen quickly spoke.
Xumi, seeing this figure, did not panic. He simply casually glanced at the figure, and a streak of sword-light immediately flew out.
Then, another burst of sword Qi was shot downwards from his body.
A whooshing sound.
The broken mountain peak burst again.
A somewhat elusive monk figure finally couldn’t hide and shot out from the shattered stones of the mountain peak.
"His physical body destroyed?"
A flash of surprise crossed Xumi’s eyes.
Without any motion, his figure turned into a ghostly sword-light, appearing suddenly next to the elusive figure.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, directly sealing off that elusive figure.
At this moment, that elusive figure finally revealed a bit of its foundation.
The origin of the monk figure turned out to be a peculiar colored stone.
Having ruled the West Sea Country for many years, Xumi naturally recognizes this.
"Shariputra..."
"It’s Mingshan! He must have tampered with the geographical position! Grandmaster, he must know where Martial Uncle Wang and the others went!"
Lou Yi said excitedly.
Xumi’s face showed no change.
Surrounding the Shariputra, countless sword Qi quickly pierced the shadow of the monk, as if to completely wipe out the will in that stone.
The monk’s shadow instantly turned pale and cried out in a panic:
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"
The sword Qi paused momentarily.
The monk immediately felt the change in the sword Qi around the Shariputra and breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile quickly appeared on the face of his shadow: no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
"The guardian must be Xumi. I dare to propose a trade with you. If you let me go, I will tell you the arrangements of Xituo and Tupi continents on the sea..."
However, Xumi did not respond to him.
Instead, he turned to look at Lou Yi.
Lou Yi immediately understood Xumi’s meaning and quickly stepped forward to ask:
"Was it you who messed with the geographical position just now? Where did you send Grandmaster Wang and Qin Lingxiao?!"
Mingshan was slightly stunned, followed by a subconscious look of regret on his face: "Only two people were sent away?"
Upon hearing Mingshan’s words, the sword Qi instantly grew sharper again.
Feeling the sense of crisis in the Shariputra, Mingshan quickly said:
"I’ll tell! I’ll tell! In my urgency earlier, I manipulated a geographical position near the sea barrier to suck in seawater, changing the flow of geographical position. However, the geographical features are incredibly complex and constantly changing. Where they ended up, I’m not very sure."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Boen and Lou Yi both became anxious and angry.
Mingshan, however, seemed unconcerned. He looked at Xumi with certainty, as if he had something to count on, and confidently said:
"Guardian Xumi, the trade that I’m proposing to you is definitely worthwhile. As long as you spare me, I will immediately tell you the current arrangements of the Tupi Continent. I swear by my master! And if you can help me restore my physical body, I could even reveal the arrangement of Xituo Continent..."
The next second, his voice suddenly halted, and he stared at Xumi with a rigid expression.
A flash of disbelief crossed his eyes:
"You... Don’t you want to...""
A hint of indifference flashed in Xumi’s eyes.
"I don’t trust thee."
As soon as his words fell, a shrill cry suddenly resounded from the Shariputra.
The phantom disappeared instantly in the wind.
Immediately after, a shower of blood once again wafted through the sky.
However, this blood rain, like the previous one, only spilled a small part before quickly dissipating.
Xumi swept his eyes across the sky, rolled up his sleeves and took the Shariputra, pondering in his gaze.
Then, with a thought, a sword-light emerged, carrying a figure pierced through the body and incapable of moving, appeared before him.
It was the Nascent Soul of Feather Serpent Tribe, Wu Du.
However, unlike Mingshan, Wu Du could not hide his fear, but his face was full of defiance.
He yelled out:
"I am not a coward like Mingshan! Us cultivators from Tupi Continent would rather die than surrender. You’ll get nothing from my mouth!"
"You won’t get anything either. We have all been prohibited from revealing our plans! Cultivators from Fenglin Continent, once we cultivators from the Three Continents gather, you will all meet your deaths, hahaha!"
Xumi showed no expression.
His gaze thoughtful, he looked toward the sea barrier waterfall in the distance.
Then looking at Zhen Boen and Lou Yi beside him, he pointed his sleeve at a spot in the sea barrier:
"It’s here?"
Zhen Boen and Lou Yi hesitated, then nodded:
"We are not quite sure either, but the position we detected with our spiritual sense earlier was in that direction."
Upon hearing the two men’s words, Wu Du’s face immediately showed a look of panic.
Without any hesitation, Xumi acted.
A sword, covered in cracks, materialized silently, then suddenly shot up into the air, silently piercing towards the sea barrier.
A dazzling sword-light instantly broke into the waterfall of the sea barrier!
