  Spirit Snake Island was a small island located in South China Sea. It was not too far away from land, but the surface area of the island was not small. There were three mountains standing tall on it, and they were lush and green. The sounds of birds chirping could be heard, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. The island could be considered a great place to avoid the heat.

  The ship that carried Golden Flower Granny and her group had just approached the island when Golden Flower Granny arrived at the bow of the ship and suddenly saw a few big ships resting in the distance. There were a few Beggar’s Sect disciples in the area, and her expression darkened.

  “A’li, keep an eye on them,” she ordered quietly.

  Her voice was old, but it was cold and filled with killing intent.

  Before the dozen or so people on the ships could react to the situation, they saw Golden Flower Granny raise her hand slightly. Night Rain Follows Wind and the others swiftly noticed a piercing gust of wind quickly charge at them. They could not avoid it, and their bodies became stiff. They were instantly unable to move.

  A’li did not find this strange. She brought Zhou Zhiruo along while walking out of the cabin.

  “I understand, granny.”

  Night Rain Follows Wind and the others were also Beggar’s Sect disciples. When they saw Golden Flower Granny sealing their acupressure points for no reason, they were shocked. Then, they noticed the Beggar’s Sect disciples on the ships not too far in the distance from the corner of their eye. They also heard them screaming in surprise and crying out in pain. Before long, Golden Flower Granny came back while coughing with a hunched back.

  A’li quickly went forward to support her.

  Golden Flower Granny swung her arm, and Night Rain Follows Wind as well as his group shuddered. Their acupressure points were unsealed.

  “Follow me to the island,” Golden Flower Granny ordered in a tone that accepted no disagreements.

  “Huh?” Night Rain Follows Wind and his group put on troubled expressions.

  “You will receive money. You will stay with me on the island for some time. No one is allowed to go anywhere without my orders.”

  The group said nothing, just cast their gazes on Night Rain Follows Wind. They were all Beggar’s Sect disciples, and this time, they had followed Night Rain Follows Wind to sea. If they were trapped in Spirit Snake Island, they would be filled with a great wave of resentment.

  Night Rain Follows Wind had an anguished look on his face. He did not expect that he would run into this sort of thing in Spirit Snake Island. He had wanted to try his luck and see whether he could trigger Xie Xun or Chen Youliang’s quest, but he did not expect that Golden Flower Granny would be so cautious and forbid them from taking any action without her permission. It was quite troublesome.

  As they thought about it, they noticed that Golden Flower Granny’s gaze had become dark. In resignation, Night Rain Follows Wind could only bow and answer, “We will listen to your orders, granny.”

  They had to calm down Golden Flower Granny first, so they decided to proceed with caution.

  *****

  Soon after the group entered the island, another ship approached Spirit Snake Island!

  \r \r \r

  A man in green and with a Bamboo Hat on his head decisively landed on the beach. He cast a glance at the ship that had been anchored by the side of his ship, then at the other ships further in the distance. He frowned slightly, but did not dare to be slow in acting anymore. With a few jumps, he quickly vanished from the boatmen’s eyes.

  The tracks left behind on the sand were very clear.

  It was not hard for anyone to go after Golden Flower Granny and her group based on where the footprints led.

  When they passed by a row of bamboo houses, the man stopped moving.

  “Brother, please help us unseal our acupressure points.”

  When he pushed open a door, he saw a group of men who were in all sorts of stiff poses. They looked like a living statue museum, and one of them looked like a rather straightforward man. A side of his body was turned to the entrance, and he had been the one to hear the sounds of someone moving and notice a person passing by through the crack in the bamboo house.

  “Beggar’s Sect disciples?” The person who came over let out a light gasp of surprise. He then asked, “Where did Golden Flower Granny go?”

  “The bamboo forest behind us.”

  The person who spoke and had his acupressure points sealed was Night Rain Follows Wind. In truth, when he spoke just then, he regretted his decision. He suddenly remembered that the newcomer might have come for Dragon Saber, and if he gained the idea to kill them to shut their mouths, that would truly be a catastrophe they did not deserve.

  Thud! Thud!

  His chest shuddered, and the bad thoughts that had been churning in Night Rain Follows Wind’s mind instantly vanished as his limbs recovered their mobility. He laughed. “Thanks!”

  When he turned his head around to thank the person, he noticed that the person at the entrance had already vanished.

  “Big Brother Night Rain, hurry up and unseal our acupressure points! If you take any longer, Elder Chen and the others might leave!”

  When they saw that Night Rain Follows Wind recovered his mobility, the group in the house were overjoyed, and they quickly reminded him to take action.

  Once Night Rain Follows Wind’s acupressure points were unsealed, a solemn look appeared in his eyes, and he gave his friends instructions with a grave expression.

  “The person just unsealed my acupressure points through the air, and he’s very familiar with it. He might be an expert on the Dragon Rank. If we run into him later, do not fight against him unless it is absolutely necessary.”

  *****

  Night Rain Follows Wind and the group chased after the person who saved them into an empty area within the bamboo forest. By the time they arrived there, the battle had almost reached its end!

  Chen Youliang might have brought a large group of elites on his second trip to Spirit Snake Island to form Beggar’s Sect’s Great Dog Beating Formation, since they had to face Xie Xun, who was very powerful and had Dragon Saber with him, the one hundred or so disciples in the Dog Beating Formation were soon slaughtered until there was no one left.

  Even the two elders from Beggar’s Sect, who were elites at the peak of Moksha Realm, could not last under the hands of the blind Xie Xun. One of them died, and the other was injured. His hand was cut off, and he rolled on the ground with blood pouring out nonstop from his wound.

  Golden Flower Granny stood outside the battlefield with A’li.

  “Why is that person here?”

  Night Rain Follows Wind and his group naturally did not dare show their faces. They carefully hid in the bamboo forest and surveyed the entire battlefield. It did not take them long to notice a young man standing outside the battlefield.

  He was dressed in white robes and stood beyond the battlefield with a sword in hand while he watched Xie Xun show his might. He looked very excited and thrilled.

  “.…… It’s not him.”

  Night Rain Follows Wind only needed to cast a glance at him to know that the person was not the one who had unsealed his acupressure point. Even though he only saw him through the corner of his eye and did not see the person’s robes clearly, his instincts told him that their presences were completely different.

  “He’s not the one who unsealed my acupressure point,” Night Rain Follows Wind told the others.

  “Could he be that Japanese?”

  The group’s expressions changed slightly.

  Once they looked at each other at a loss, some of them grew contemplative. ‘Since he’s not the person who unsealed our acupressure points, he must be the Japanese player who traveled across the ocean from Daiei to Spirit Snake Island to steal Dragon Saber.’

  “I’ll go kill him.”

  “Don’t. That brat seems to have gained Xie Xun’s trust. Besides, Xie Xun is blind. If we move even in the slightest, we can get attacked by him……”

  Night Rain Follows Wind was cautious, and he got rid of everyone’s idea to go out. He watched the situation for a while before he suddenly heard a voice lacking in fluency in the language from the other side.

  “Senior!”

  Xie Xun’s expression grew attentive.

  The young Japanese player with the clean and handsome face spoke in Mandarin, though he was lacking in fluency. “Beggar’s Sect disciples, really chivalrous. But senior, they attacked again and again. Hard to protect Spirit Snake Island for us. Someday, maybe, they call more people. Senior, your martial arts, strong. No worry. But if your foster son comes, he might……”

  Xie Xun scowled, and as expected, killing intent appeared on his face. He slowly walked toward the Beggar’s Sect elder who was rolling on the ground.

  Chen Youliang was shocked. He went forward to stop him, but he was cut down by a single slash, and he coughed up blood after being sent flying. He was severely injured.

  Night Rain Follows Wind and his group had shocked and fearful expressions while they were in the bamboo forest.

  “That brat sure is ruthless. With just a few sentences, he mentioned the thing Xie Xun is wary of the most. Right now, Xie Xun is alone and has no one to rely on, but he cares about the whereabouts of his foster son, Zhang Wuji, the most.”

  “The elder is in danger!”

  “What should we do?”

  While the group burned with anxiety, a system notification suddenly rose.

  “Save the two Beggar’s Sect elders from Xie Xun and escort them to the sea.”

  Night Rain Follows Wind and the others instantly looked at each other at a loss.

  ‘Save those two from under Xie Xun and Golden Flower Granny’s eyes?!’
