Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Kill him!"

A group wrapped in darkness charged towards Xiao Yi, intent on killing him.

These figures were completely covered in black garb, their features indiscernible, only their eyes shining with a blood-red light, like rubies, ghastly and ghostlike.

Their red eyes flickered with ferocity and a chilling intent to kill.

Xiao Yi pulled the young girl behind him and said in a deep voice, "Stay here, and don't go out!"

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly leapt up.

The sword followed his intent.

In his mind, the trajectory of every hidden claw within the darkness was crystal clear, and with the subtlest of movements, he managed to dodge those sharp claws.

"The waterfall descends three thousand feet like a flying stream!"

From Xiao Yi's palm, a fourth-grade longsword unsheathed and moved with the wind.

This stroke was silent and unperceived.

Pff!

Xiao Yi moved fluidly like a fish in the sea, darting and weaving, leaving trails of blood wherever he passed. Black figures were decapitated, and in an instant, dozens of corpses lay around him.

More and more black figures converged around him.

"You lot hold him off, I'll grab the girl!" a figure emanating the aura of the Tao Tribulation Realm growled. With agile maneuvers, he bypassed Xiao Yi and headed straight for the veiled young girl.

"Over my dead body!"

Xiao Yi leapt forward, but suddenly, more than a dozen people appeared in front of him, surrounding him.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's pupils: "A Stroke That Surprises the Wind and Rain!"

"A white egret splits the waters in two!"

He thrust his sword repeatedly.

The sword edge danced with the wind, moving effortlessly.

The shadows blocking him were continuously cut down, but the brief delay allowed the powerhouse of the Calamity Realm to reach the girl.

His blood-red eyes were filled with greed and desire as he reached out with his dark, sharp claws toward her.

"Damn it…"

Xiao Yi's eyes were about to split with rage.

He wanted to help, but it was too late.

The girl's blue eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and a delicate voice sounded under her veil as her slender fingers gently plucked her ancient zither.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The zither strings vibrated, sending out waves of sound.

Hum!

The Calamity Realm strongman seemed to be controlled, a look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes, followed by what seemed like countless wires wrapping around his body, slicing it into a grid.

The wires tightened more and more.

Boom!

He was forcefully torn into countless pieces.

Amid the rain of fresh blood and flesh.

The girl continued to play the Qin Xuan, the pleasant clanging sound caused all the black figures surrounding Xiao Yi to tremble violently, their eyes filled with confusion.

Pff pff pff!
Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

One by one, the figures were shredded into pieces.

Xiao Yi's pupils contracted sharply, staring at the girl holding the ancient zither in disbelief, never having imagined that such a seemingly fragile girl possessed such extraordinary methods.

The carnage here had also drawn the attention of countless powerhouses nearby, with more and more shadows gathering.

Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly, and he turned to the veiled girl, about to speak.

Suddenly, from the dense fog over the sea, a bewitching flute melody could be distinctly heard.

The flute's melody wafted through the air, pleasing and melodious.

The shadowy figures trembled all over, their eyes filled with unwillingness and hatred as they glared harshly at Xiao Yi and the masked girl, before they gathered up the pile of blood and flesh on the ground and quietly disappeared into the mist.

As these shadows dissipated, the thick fog also quietly receded.

As if they had never been there in the first place.

"What on earth is going on?"

Xiao Yi was completely baffled, turning to look at the masked girl, only to hear her retch and spew a mouthful of fresh blood. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted onto the guqin, unconscious.

"Hey... are you okay?"

Xiao Yi quickly propped up the girl. He checked her breathing and, finding no life-threatening danger but realizing she had fainted from weakness, he let out a sigh of relief. He took out a pill to restore her Qi-Blood and fed it to her; Xiao Yi then noticed that the ship had already sailed out of the foggy area.

Ahead, the light of the stars and moon shone brightly, reflecting off the surface of the sea in dazzling, scattered points of light.

The sparkling waves softly glowed, and from afar, a mass of mist could be seen drifting farther and farther away.

Within that mist.

It seemed as if a pair of cold eyes were fixed on this very ship.

"Who were those people? And that fog... Why does it feel as if it were being controlled by someone? It's like they were searching for something..." Xiao Yi was utterly confused, his mind full of questions.

Time flies...

In the blink of an eye, it was morning.

Many powerful individuals awoke to find themselves lying on the deck, each with a look of astonishment and surprise on their faces: "What happened?"

"I clearly remember sleeping inside the cabin, how did I end up on the deck?"

"Last night, I seemed to hear someone singing, then I fell asleep, without knowing what happened..."

"Wait, my roommate is missing..."

"My brother is missing too..."

A cry of grief filled the entire ship.

Many realized that their companions had vanished without a trace, and some even found themselves hanging halfway off the mast, nearly falling into the sea.

You must know...

There were tens of thousands of people on this ship, among them not a few from the Golden Core Realm and the Tao Tribulation Realm.

What sort of power could control tens of thousands of people to leave their cabins silently?

And to be completely oblivious to what had happened?

At this moment.

Tales of sea demons began to circulate among the ship's passengers, and some said the ship was haunted... There were various theories, and some attempted to confront the one-eyed shipowner to demand an explanation.

After all.

A quick estimate revealed that last night, no fewer than a thousand people had disappeared.

The one-eyed man's face looked extremely grim; after waking up, he had also been on the deck, and even his deputy captain had vanished without a trace. That was an individual in the Calamity Realm, who had disappeared so quietly.

"One-eyed Sir, you should give us an explanation for this, don't you think?"

"We paid a lot for these tickets, and now so many people have vanished without reason. You wouldn't be behind this, would you?"

Facing the crowd's questioning.

The one-eyed man's face turned icy, and he said coldly, "Shut up, all of you."

Whoosh!

From his black shortsword, a black flash suddenly burst forth, its ominous shine deterring anyone from coming close. Only then did he continue to speak: "I will investigate what happened last night. Additionally, if anyone can provide clues, I am willing to offer a reward of one hundred million Silver!"

"One hundred million?"

"It seems the one-eyed man doesn't know what happened either!"

The crowd whispered among each other.

At that moment...

Suddenly, a voice emanated from the crowd: "I know what happened!"
