Chapter 611 Shi Motong
Chapter 611 Shi Motong
"who!"
Shi Motong's eyes narrowed, and he instantly assumed a defensive stance. An ancient-looking bracelet slowly rotated beside his wrist.
Ye Kang struggled to climb out and quickly said, "Misunderstanding! I was just passing by! I was swept in by the sandstorm!"
As he spoke, he raised his hands, revealing an innocent-looking expression.
Indeed, Ye Kang had already detected the arrival of martial artists through his Boundless Azure Eyes.
On the one hand, he was surprised that there were people in such a godforsaken place.
On the other hand, he was also extremely cautious. Since he was new to the place, it was best not to be too flamboyant and to act a little silly.
He is very good at performing.
After hearing Ye Kang's words, the group did not lower their guard, especially the one-eyed man, whose expression was very unfriendly.
"You're kidding me! You think you can get caught in a sandstorm while passing through a place like this?!"
As he spoke, he fiercely drew a black battle sword.
Ye Kang retreated repeatedly: "Brother, I'm not lying. I'm a destitute rogue cultivator. I heard that some people here are getting rich, so I came here to make a living. Who knew the desert was so vast? I can't possibly get out! I'm so excited to finally meet you all today!"
Ye Kang looked completely honest, and his tone was incredibly stupid, as if he were truly an ignorant and reckless young man.
Hearing him say that, Shi Motong relaxed her guard a little.
"Another one who believed the rumors and came here to suffer."
"Mo Tong, don't trust this kid too easily. He looks cunning and doesn't seem like a good person."
Ye Kang's face immediately turned pale: "I'm innocent!"
Shi Motong reached out and stopped the one-eyed man's knife.
"Forget it, this guy's cultivation is so weak, he can't possibly fight against the sandstorm, there's no need to make things difficult for him."
"Humph."
The one-eyed man didn't really suspect Ye Kang, because his cultivation level was too low. Even if he were an enemy, they wouldn't send such a weak and clueless person.
But he was very unhappy with Shi Motong's behavior and deliberately picked a fight, saying, "Whether it's true or not, we'll have to ask to find out."
He looked at Ye Kang: "Where are you from?"
Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat. He really didn't know how to answer this question, as he knew nothing about this world.
Therefore, without hesitation, he sent a wisp of his divine sense into the Jade Realm and instantly arrived inside the Scripture Pavilion.
Slaughtering Whale King was already prepared and immediately came up with a set of excuses.
Ye Kang said, "I am an orphan from Nan'an City, Yanzhou, named Ye Kang. I became a disciple of a rogue cultivator when I was young and followed my master to make a living. Later, my master was killed while seizing a treasure, so I fled into the desert. Unfortunately, I didn't know the way, which is why I got lost here."
He spoke sincerely, with a pitiful look in his eyes, without batting an eye, as if he were recounting his own true experience.
The group was immediately surprised.
"You're from Yanzhou!"
"You're really lucky, you crossed the Black Desert and didn't get eaten by the sand monsters."
“Nan’an City is indeed on the edge of Yanzhou, but that doesn’t mean what you’re saying is true. Although we are a desert tribe, we are still considered people of Leizhou. We can’t let an outsider like you pass through so easily.”
The one-eyed man grinned maliciously, flipped his wrist, and made a hooking gesture.
Clearly, he didn't care whether Ye Kang was telling the truth or not; this whole story was just him trying to get something in return.
Anyway, this is the Black Desert, murder and robbery are all too common. If I kill you, no one will know. Why don't you obediently hand over the money to buy your life?
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang looked bitter: "Grandpa, I've even lost my storage bag, I have nothing on me."
The one-eyed man was immediately enraged and used his divine sense to scan the area, but he didn't see any storage magic treasures.
He was furious. He never expected that there would be such a poor martial artist. It was a disgrace to the martial arts world.
Ye Kang looked aggrieved, but inwardly he was sneering. His things were all in the Ink Jade Realm, and the Ink Jade Realm had turned to dust. How could he possibly find them?
“Alright, since there’s no threat, and our meeting is fate, if you don’t mind, you can come with us back to Windbreak Valley,” Shi Motong said.
Ye Kang nodded vigorously: "Great, great!"
"Mo Tong, are you crazy? If you keep bringing people back to Wind's Breath Valley like this, Captain Jin will be unhappy." The one-eyed man said with great dissatisfaction.
However, Shi Motong merely glanced at him coldly: "What I want to do is my business."
"You! I'm doing this for your own good. Don't forget, Mr. Jin's top men are keeping an eye on your position. You'd better not give him any leverage."
"If anyone wants to replace me, then defeat me fair and square. Similarly, if you also want to replace me, then start cultivating your skills as soon as possible, rather than pointing fingers here."
Shi Motong showed no respect to the one-eyed man, making the man's face stiffen, and he could only turn his head away with a cold snort.
The former looked at Ye Kang and said, "My name is Shi Motong, a commander of Fengxi Valley. Although your strength is low, your blood and qi are quite abundant. Fengxi Valley is still short of people, so you can go and find a job."
"Okay! I'll do whatever Sister Mo Tong says!"
Ye Kang answered with a smile, his face full of flattery.
The others' lips twitched. This guy really knows how to take advantage of a situation. He's already calling her "sister"?
Shi Motong didn't seem to care and asked, "What do you know about this sandstorm?"
Ye Kang shook his head blankly: "I don't know. I just happened to be passing by when the sandstorm suddenly started. I ran fast, so I was just swept into the outer edge and escaped with my life."
"Is that so? Then it seems to be just an accident. Today is the day to avoid fire. Although a sandstorm has occurred, it is not a threat and is not a big deal. Let's go."
The group nodded and flew together, skimming the ground.
Ye Kang naturally lagged behind; while others looked relaxed, he appeared to be struggling.
In fact, if he were to unleash his full speed, these people wouldn't be able to catch up with him at all. After all, his body tempering strength is what it is, so his flight speed wouldn't be slow.
But it's unnecessary; you still need to maintain your "weakling" persona.
While traveling, Ye Kang secretly sent a wisp of his divine sense into the Ink Jade Realm and came before Lord Slaughter Whale once again.
"Thank you, senior, for helping me escape danger."
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. Fortunately, 100,000 years have passed and Nan'an City still exists, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save you."
"Senior, who are these people? And what is the difference between Yanzhou and Leizhou?"
Upon hearing this, Tu Jingjun frowned.
"It's been 100,000 years, how could I remember so much? Everything that should have changed has changed. I only know that Yanzhou is a world ruled by sects, while Leizhou seems to have been in internal strife 100,000 years ago. The people you encountered should be the sand people unique to the Black Desert, all descendants of criminals and bandits, extremely fierce. You're lucky you weren't killed on the spot."
"I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts, senior."
Ye Kang knew that asking more questions would be pointless, since 100,000 years had passed and the things Tu Jingjun knew had probably changed long ago. Saying more would only arouse suspicion.
Let's go to Windbreak Valley first and then make a decision.
