Chapter 509: Ambush on Ten Sides
"You finally came out." Xuan Ke said and rolled his eyes.
When they separated, he thought they would reunite after a few days.
Unexpectedly, he waited three months for two people to finally leave their room.
"What does a single dog know." Jiang Yue muttered.
"Let’s return to the Cangxing mountain." Yu Nianzhen suggested and the other two immediately agreed.
"Azhen, let’s use a flying boat to get there." Jiang Yue suggested.
Although they could directly teleport to the mountain, Jiang Yue didn’t want to.
After all, they had been away from the Reincarnation world for one thousand years.
Now that they were back, he wanted to have a good look at the world.
"Good." Yu Nianzhen agreed and rubbed his husband’s hair.
After that, Jiang Yue collected the ancient palace and the three boarded a flying boat.
The flying boat was a prize from the challenge event.
It had four bedrooms, two training rooms, one operation room, and a wide deck.
The operation room had a navigation map, a helm, and a portal for spirit stones or reincarnation stones.
"Which direction is the Cangxing mountain?" Jiang Yue asked while looking at the navigation map.
"North." Xuan Ke immediately said.
Unfortunately, none of the three knew the specific coordinates.
In the end, Jiang Yue set up the boat to fly North.
Since they were not in a hurry, it didn’t matter if they took a few detours.
"Brothers, let’s sit on the deck." Xuan Ke suggested and the three went to the deck.
Soon after, Yu Nianzhen took out a wine gourd and three cups.
"It’s been a long time since I drank wine brewed by brother Yu." Xuan Ke said and excitedly reached for a cup.
"Me too." Jiang Yue agreed and also reached for a cup.
"Brothers, it’s good to see you again." Xuan Ke said and emptied his cup.
"It’s good to be back." Jiang Yue followed and so did Yu Nianzhen.
After that, the three brothers drank wine and looked at the passing scenery.
’It’s really good to be back.’ Jiang Yue thought and sighed.
Looking at him, Yu Nianzhen understood his lover’s mood.
After experiencing one million years of torture, the current Reincarnation world seemed like a paradise.
’Maybe we don’t need to rush our breakthrough. Relaxing is also a form of cultivation.’ He thought and looked at Jiang Yue.
"What’s the matter?" Jiang Yue questioned but Yu Nianzhen only shook his head.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue smiled and continued to drink.
In this way, two months passed but the three were only halfway to the Cangxing mountain.
However, they were still not in a hurry.
On this day, the three were drinking on the deck when a black shadow appeared on the horizon.
"What’s that?" Xuan Ke asked while squinting his eyes.
Unfortunately, his cultivation was only at the second level of the reincarnation realm and the shadow was too far for him to fully make it out.
"It’s a pirate ship." Yu Nianzhen said in a matter-of-fact voice.
"It seems to have more than one hundred treasure-hunting cultivators." Jiang Yue added.
"Should we escape?" Xuan Ke couldn’t help but worry.
After all, there were only three people in their flying boat.
Most importantly, their flying boat was only a means of transport.
It didn’t have spirit stone cannons or other weapons.
If it faced a pirate ship, it would be destroyed in one hit and their lives would not be guaranteed.
"Don’t worry." Jiang Yue said and smiled.
At the same time, colourless mist rushed out of his body and surrounded their flying boat.
"XiaoYue, your illusion domain has become more mysterious." Yu Nianzhen said.
"Can you see it?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile on his face.
"Mmmmm."
"As expected of my Azhen."
"Illusion domain?" Xuan Ke asked and looked around.
However, he neither saw nor felt the domain.
A moment later, he sighed and looked a little aggrieved.
"When can my cultivation reach the peak of the ninth level." He muttered and Jiang Yue chuckled before he answered.
"In a little more than seven thousand years."
"Brother Jiang, you are making fun of me."
"What can you do?" Jiang Yue teased and Xuan Ke rolled his eyes.
"Treasure-hunting cultivators should have a lot of wealth." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said and the other two perked up.
"You are right." Jiang Yue immediately became excited.
After the challenge event, the two accumulated a lot of resources.
By the time they went to the tribulation grounds, they still had more than ninety per cent of their original resources.
Now, they were at the peak of the reincarnation realm and no longer needed those resources.
However, they were the leaders of the Cangxing mountain.
When there was an opportunity, they naturally planned to acquire more resources for the Cangxing cultivators.
"One is at the early stage of the ninth level and ten are at the eighth level. The rest are mostly at the third or fourth level." Yu Nianzhen said and quickly continued.
"They should have a lot of resources suitable for low-level reincarnation realm cultivators."
"Their ship is also good." Jiang Yue added and looked at the pirate ship with a little greed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xuan Ke smiled and took a sip of wine.
"I will leave the pirates to you." He said and prepared to continue drinking.
"They are speeding towards us." Yu Nianzhen observed and Jiang Yue nodded before looking at his lover.
"Azhen, let me deal with this." He said.
"Okay." Yu Nianzhen agreed and also took his wine cup.
Less than an incense stick later, the two vessels were one hundred metres apart.
"Fellow Daoists, do you need something?" Jiang Yue asked with a pleasant smile on his lips.
"Do we need something?" One of the treasure-hunting cultivators repeated, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Brothers, did you hear his question?" Another asked and the treasure-hunting cultivators burst into laughter.
"Did I ask a funny question?" Jiang Yue looked at Yu Nianzhen and asked.
"It’s a normal question." Yu Nianzhen cooperated but his eyes were filled with doting helplessness.
"In that case, why are they laughing?"
"Their brains are abnormal." Yu Nianzhen said and Xuan Ke choked on his wine.
A moment later, he burst into laughter and his eyes gleamed in mirth.
"Are you mocking us?" One of the treasure-hunting cultivators roared angrily.
Hearing this, Xuan Ke laughed even more exaggeratedly.
’It’s been a long time since I last saw my brothers tease the enemy.’ He thought.
"Good. Good." The leader of the treasure-hunting cultivators spoke through gritted teeth.
"I was going to let you live but you have completely angered me." He continued and then turned to the other treasure-hunting cultivators.
"Don’t leave any of them with an intact body." He shouted and the treasure-hunting cultivators roared in agreement.
A moment later, the pirate ship rushed towards the smaller flying boat.
Unfortunately, the treasure-hunting cultivators underestimated their opponents too much.
As early as when Jiang Yue saw the pirate ship, he released his illusion domain.
When the two flying vessels stopped, he secretly extended the domain.
Now that the pirate ship was rushing towards them, it was only a matter of time before it entered his domain.
When that happened, there was only one end for the treasure-hunting cultivators.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue smiled and released his Fuyue.
"Azhen, do you want to listen to a song?" He asked.
"Okay." Yu Nianzhen said and nodded.
"Which one do you want to listen to?"
When he heard the question, Yu Nianzhen fell into thought and recalled all the songs he knew.
Less than a breath later, he rubbed Jiang Yue’s hair and smiled.
"Ambush on ten sides." He said and Jiang Yue couldn’t help but laugh.
Soon after, pleasant music echoed in the surroundings but the treasure-hunting cultivators did not have a chance to revel in it.
As soon as they entered the illusion domain, their surroundings blurred and their minds dulled a little.
"No, we have entered a formation." Someone yelled.
"When did they arrange it?" Another asked.
"We watched them for a long time and they never had a chance to arrange a formation."
"Stop talking nonsense and retreat." The leader shouted.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
After the initial dullness, a seed of anger sprouted in each of their hearts.
’This is not good.’ The leader thought and planned to jump out of the pirate ship.
However, his righthand man was not having it.
Before the leader could do anything, the righthand man rushed towards him with a sword in his hand.
Seeing this, the leader grew angrier and a spear appeared in his hand.
"Bastard." He shouted and rushed to meet the opponent.
Soon after, the pirate ship descended into chaos and the treasure-hunting cultivators began to kill each other.
"As always, this technique is terrifying." Xuan Ke sighed and looked at Jiang Yue.
"Even those who practice the ruthless dao find it difficult to truly control their seven emotions and six desires." Jiang Yue said with a smile on his face.
