Chapter 1461: Chapter 553: Breaking into the Island
The small boat rose and fell on the sea.
It made one’s head dizzy.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes and looked at the blue water and sky in front of him.
He was slightly dazed for a moment before recalling what had just happened.
He was in the cabin below, having endured over a month of long journey.
Judging by the days, they should have already reached Cui Xin Temple.
As expected, today the door opened, and Su Mo made a shining appearance.
At that time, Jiang Lan was quite happy to greet him:
"Master Su, it’s been a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, without a word, Su Mo slapped him on the head.
After that, he knew nothing.
Now waking up, he already found himself here.
Looking at the surroundings, Jiang Lan couldn’t help but become furious:
"Su Mo! You’re simply outrageous!"
However, looking around, not only was Su Mo not there, even the large ship of Ziyang Escort Agency was gone.
A tight feeling gripped his heart:
"What kind of Mystical trick is this guy up to now?"
As the thought flickered, he took a deep breath, and True Qi began to circulate within his body.
He couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh:
"All along the way, the injuries on my body have long since healed.
"Yet, not a bit of Inner Strength can be moved.
"And now that they kicked me off the ship, did it actually restore my Inner Strength?
"If that’s the case..."
Talking to himself, he hurriedly turned his head to look.
Sure enough, he saw a misty island appearing before him.
He couldn’t help clicking his tongue:
"Is this... is this counted as delivering me here?
"But if I just land on the island like this, isn’t it seeking my own death?"
Just like Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun’s evaluation.
In the struggle with the Dark Dragon Hall Master, Jiang Lan was beaten quite miserably.
But this did not mean he was an idiot.
Since he knew, Cui Xin Temple still had forces from the Dark Dragon Hall loyal to Imperial Dao, how could the Dark Dragon Hall Master have not had any precautions?
The reason he let Su Mo bring him to Cui Xin Temple.
Ultimately, it was to create entanglements between the Dark Dragon Hall and Su Mo.
Su Mo possesses supreme martial arts, if he could utilize him.
There would still be a chance to turn the tide.
But now, instead of delivering him to the island, Su Mo just sent him off with a small boat.
What... what now?
He looked at the boat, and besides a wine gourd, there was nothing else.
Three words were pasted on the wine gourd.
It read: Don’t Drink.
"You say don’t drink, so I won’t drink?"
Jiang Lan snorted: "I’ll just... hum, not drink!"
Listening to advice fills your belly, so if it says don’t drink, then it’s best not to.
However, since Su Mo put this on the boat and said not to drink, it probably wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
After a brief contemplation, he hung the wine gourd on his waist.
Then he fell into thought.
The island where Cui Xin Temple was located was already within reach.
Now there was no food or drink on the boat, and there was a wine gourd right in front, yet he was told not to drink.
If he left now, who knows how long he could survive at sea.
Even if he could survive, there was no guarantee it would be a smooth journey.
"They’re forcing me to go ashore."
Jiang Lan let out another cold laugh:
"But... if you don’t want me to do something, I won’t do it.
"If you want me to do it, I won’t wish to do it even more...
"Even if there’s no food or drink, using my martial arts, surviving at sea is a piece of cake.
"I..."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt his legs drenched, wet.
With a slight startle, he looked down to see both his legs submerged in water.
Instantly, his eyes widened:
"Could it be they’ve even drilled a hole in the boat?"
He immediately stood up, ready to rise in mid-air:
"Can this deter me? Not to mention there’s so much wood, even if only one piece is left, I also wouldn’t find it difficult to glide through Nanhai!"
However, with this leap, before he could jump half a foot, he plunged back onto the boat with a plop.
In the bewilderment, he nearly lost his balance and fell into the water.
The whole person was left standing there dumbfounded.
"This... This..."
Jiang Nan’s face turned blue with anger:
"This was deliberate, striking my acupoints so I can’t use Qinggong.
"There’s no food or drink on the boat, and they’ve even drilled a hole.
"If I don’t go ashore, in no time, I’ll fall into the sea, with no hope left.
"Su Mo, oh Su Mo... you’ve crafted schemes to take my life, how can I let you have your way!"
Finishing his harsh words, without further ado, he grabbed the oar and rowed furiously.
If he didn’t hurry, he’d be drowned for sure.
His hands moved like flying, the oar drawing afterimages.
The small boat soared across the water, making its way toward the island.
In just a moment, he was already closing in.
Guardians were stationed at the edge of the island, and from a distance, they saw a small boat approaching at an unusual speed.
For a moment, they looked at each other in confusion.
Why is a small boat arriving?
There were still strict orders passed down today, knowing that in the coming days, masters would arrive on the island.
It was the Nanhai Alliance Young Leader Su Mo, leading a group of Jianghu experts, intending to seize Cui Xin Temple.
They were instructed to be on high alert.
Once these people arrived, there was no need to deny them entry.
They could open the doors wide, letting them come in unimpeded.
Once they entered the island, they would surely die.
Even if it was with lives, they could pile them up to death.
Because of this, the people on the island had long been mentally prepared.
