Chapter 130: A near miss

Early the next morning, Xu Feng finished his meditation.

He washed up a bit, put on a new set of robes, said goodbye to the three women, and went straight out of the market gate.

He made an appointment with the old shopkeeper to meet under the flying boat of the Tianjian Sect.

He originally thought that the old shopkeeper had chosen a vague place and was afraid that it would be difficult to find.

But when he just finished the examination and looked up at the market gate, he knew that his worry was completely unnecessary.

Because about three miles away from the market gate, there was a giant flying boat that was ten feet high and about a hundred feet long.

It was hard for others not to notice such a huge thing.

Xu Feng set up his flying sword and soon came to a place less than a hundred feet away from the flying boat.

There were many monks watching the excitement here, pointing at the flying boat.

Xu Feng came forward and squeezed in through the crowd.

He found that there were two fully armed Tianjian Sect late-stage Qi-refining monks standing in front of the crowd, scanning the crowd of monks who were watching the excitement.

At the same time, he kept reminding them:

"Back off, back off, no outsiders are allowed to approach, only those with a boat ticket can board."

Hearing this, Xu Feng immediately began to look around, hoping to see the figure of the old shopkeeper.

However, it seemed that he came a little early, and he did not find the old shopkeeper in the crowd.

The agreed time was three quarters of the Si hour, and now it was Chen hour, more than an hour later, so it was normal that the other party did not come.

So he listened to the surrounding monks' discussion about the flying boat while patiently waiting for the old shopkeeper to arrive.

"How many monks can such a large flying boat accommodate, and how fast is it flying?"

One person asked curiously.

"I have had the honor of riding on the Liu family's flying boat, which is only one-third the size of this one. I heard from their monks that the flying boat can carry 180 monks when it is full.

If he is telling the truth, then this giant flying boat can carry 500 people without any problem."

Someone who knows something in the crowd began to popularize it.

"That's not right. Let's not talk about how many people can sit in the cabin. I estimate that the deck in front of the ship can accommodate 200 people without any problem."

Someone didn't believe it and raised doubts.

"Have you seen anyone sitting on the deck of a flying boat? According to what you said, flying swords are inserted into the sides of the ship, and the monks hold the hilts of the flying swords, so that more monks can be accommodated."

The person who answered the question before was a little unhappy and said unhappily.

"Aren't you lifting a bar?"

"Who lifted a bar? Weren't you the first to make trouble?"

The two of them got angry while talking, and were about to fight. Just as Xu Feng was watching with relish, his shoulders suddenly sank and a hand was placed on them.

He immediately turned his head alertly and saw the harmless face of the old shopkeeper.

"What are you looking at? Why are you so absent-minded? Time is almost up, let's go up!"

"Okay, please go first."

He pushed hard to the side, squeezed out a passage for one person to pass, let the old shopkeeper go first, and he followed closely.

"Please show your credentials, fellow Taoists."

The old shopkeeper was well prepared and took out two iron tokens from his storage bag and handed them to the two for inspection.

The two monks of Tianjian Sect each took a token, and then injected magic power, and the pattern on the token suddenly twisted, as if it came alive.

Seeing this, the two of them tacitly withdrew their magic power, and then returned the token to Xu Feng and the others, telling them that they could board the flying boat.

The two ignored the whispers behind them and flew directly to the deck of the flying boat. Here they were checked again, and then they were taken into the cabin by a special person.

"For the next two days, you will stay in this cabin. It is best not to come out. Anyway, two days will pass quickly."

The monk who brought them here gave a few instructions and left soon.

Although this person was quite polite, the two of them clearly saw contempt and disdain in each other's eyes.

However, as a high disciple of the Jindan sect, they naturally felt superior to casual cultivators like them.

Xu Feng didn't care. Your strength is there. You are not at the same level as others. Why do you look up to you? I don't have a perspective eye, so I know you have a system.

The cabin is two feet in radius, and there are already many people sitting there. Xu Feng glanced around and didn't find a familiar person, but the old shopkeeper found one in a corner.

"Fellow Daoist Yao, nice to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. It's such a coincidence."

While the two sides were greeting each other, Xu Feng stared at the man.

He had three long beards and a handsome face. He looked like a true Taoist. Behind him was a young monk of about the same age, dressed as a Taoist boy.

After the two sides greeted each other, they introduced each other's identities.

Only then did he understand that the monk named Yao and the person behind him were also here for this talisman making assessment.

In other words, the two of them were future opponents, and they began to look at each other seriously.

"This man is not as handsome as me, so his talisman making skills must not be very good."

"This man is just simply handsome, so his talisman making skills must not be very good."

After looking at each other, the two sides gave each other evaluations. Then they grinned at the same time.

When the four people just sat down cross-legged, the flying boat suddenly shook, then took off and headed towards Ganyang Market.

At this moment, in an exquisite room above their cabin, five foundation-building monks were discussing something.

"How is it, did the traitor spread the news?"

"Report to the Sixth Elder, I saw him activate the communication talisman with my own eyes."

"That's good, did the traitor take control?"

"After sending the communication talisman, he took control immediately."

"Didn't it alarm others?"

"No, I deliberately chose a place where no one was."

"That's good, seal his Dantian first, and take him back to the head of the sect to deal with.

You guys should be prepared. If the flying boat is attacked later, rush out immediately and kill all the demon cultivators with all your strength. Don't let anyone escape."

"Yes."

The room returned to calm, but the atmosphere was very strange, like the eve of a storm.

Originally, Xu Feng was planning to use these two days to review the knowledge of talismans and prepare for the next assessment.

But before he could enter the state of meditation for long, the ship suddenly shook violently, waking him up immediately.

It was as if he had touched something during the voyage, and then he could clearly feel that the speed of the flying boat slowed down, and then stopped in mid-air.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came, and the cabin, which was originally very quiet, instantly exploded.

"What happened?"

"I don't know! Could it be attacked by the devil cultivator?"

"Don't be such a pessimist, I don't believe that the devil cultivator dares to attack the flying boat of the Tianjian Sect."

"What's the point of arguing like this? Why don't we go out and take a look."

A word awakened the dreamer, and everyone came to the door of the cabin, ready to go out and find out what was going on.

However, Xu Feng and others sat there and did not move. If the situation was really critical, the Tianjian Sect would have notified them to disperse and escape long ago.

But until now, no orders have been received, which means that the situation should not be that bad.

Sure enough, when the door of the cabin was opened, two Qi Refining Level 9 monks from the Tianjian Sect stood at the door, holding magic tools and saying loudly:

"Please go back to the cabin, the elders have ordered that you must not leave."

"My fellow Taoist, what happened outside?"

"No comment!"

After that, the two of them worked together to close the door of the cabin.

Seeing this, everyone could only return to their original seats and sit down uneasily, and began to discuss what to do next.

After half a day of anxiety, the flying boat set off again, and a big stone in everyone's heart fell.

Then the flying boat continued all the way, and finally arrived at Ganyangfang City in the evening two days later.
