Chapter 576: 215. Meeting Wan’Er Again, Clues (7.5K words - Long Chapter Seeking Subscription)_4

Traveling to practice medicine is acceptable, but there’s no need to bring a golden needle.

In this way, how could Wan’Er not realize that her technique of "Dark Passage of Qi and Blood" had been seen through by the Second Gang Leader of the Cao Gang?

Thus, the things that the Second Gang Leader of the Cao Gang did in secret somehow slightly improved her impression.

However, now she was an old lady with white hair, and naturally, she couldn’t assume that the Second Gang Leader had any romantic interest in her. After pondering, she could only conclude, "Hearing is not as good as seeing."

No matter how the Second Gang Leader was rumored to be brutal, in her eyes, he still had a bit of conscience...

Not much.

But in these end times, in such a high position, it was considered rare.

...

...

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Song Yan patiently played the role of the Second Gang Leader of the Cao Gang.

And in that winter, he was hugging a girl, playing games while listening to music, when suddenly a gang member rushed in, pale-faced, and said, "Great... Great Gang Leader..."

Song Yan rolled over, sat up, waved his hand to let the girl in his lap leave, then sat grandly with a slight forward lean, and said, "What’s the matter, speak directly!"

The gang member’s Adam’s apple moved.

The person beside laughed and said, "Seventh Master has already told you to speak, what are you afraid of? Even if the sky fell, there’s still Seventh Master to support Shanyang City, isn’t it?"

Song Yan looked impatient and said in a muffled voice, "Hurry up, speak!"

The gang member stammered tremulously, "Great Gang Leader... is dead...

The boat went south with the current, to Qiuwu Village, but the entire Qiuwu Village... vanished!

This is trouble. Even immortals couldn’t handle this trouble, whoever it falls on, it’s death."

As soon as the words fell, the originally cheerful hall turned dead silent.

Song Yan also looked blankly at the gang member, suddenly rushed forward, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him off the ground, and shouted sternly, "You’re talking nonsense! You’re spouting nonsense! How could the elder brother... the elder brother possibly be dead? Impossible! You’re spouting nonsense! I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!"

The gang member, terrified, shivered all over, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Great... Great Gang Leader is known for being cautious, the fleet was divided into the front, middle, and rear teams. I... I was in the last team, I just saw the front boats enter Qiuwu Village.

Qiuwu Village, fog arose.

Initially, I could still see the villagers, but after a thick fog, everything was gone, all gone, haha, all gone."

The gang member, obviously suffering from severe mental trauma, began speaking incoherently and almost crazily.

Song Yan released his hand.

Snap.

The gang member fell to the ground, didn’t even try to get up, and just shouted, "Disaster Beast, it is the Disaster Beast!!"

Song Yan looked around, and everyone was silent and shivered with fear, not daring to speak.

He forcibly steadied his expression, waved his hand, and said, "Take him down."

Immediately, gang members stepped forward to take the informant down.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the Cao Gang was extremely grim.

Panic began to spread gradually.

...

...

The Great Gang Leader of the Cao Gang in Shanyang City was dead, but the industry chain could not be broken, so naturally, it was up to the Second Gang Leader to take over.

Song Yan was suddenly pushed onto the original duties of the Great Gang Leader — escorting the Yin Ship.

Just coincidentally, within half a month of his appointment, a secret letter was sent from above.

The royal messenger stood before him, saying, "The immortal said last time the Sea God was enraged and thus devoured the entire Qiuwu Village. This time, not only do we need strong men but also virgin boys and girls, as many as possible."

Song Yan cautiously said, "Could you provide a number?"

The royal messenger said, "Three hundred strong men, three hundred virgin boys and girls each."

Song Yan said, "Understood."

The royal messenger said, "Depart in half a month, at the earliest tide."

...

...

Half a month later.

The large ships set sail, a total of three from front to back.

The strong men, boys, and girls were separately confined in the cabins.

Song Yan stood at the bow of the foremost ship, Granny Wan stood by his side.

...

A little over half a month later.

Song Yan took out a map and examined the nearby sea chart again.

However, due to New City gradually submerging, the sea chart had drastically changed.

He could only vaguely feel that his ship was nearing its destination, yet couldn’t ascertain precisely where the destination was.

At this time, a Cao Gang disciple came up and said, "Leader, it is said to meet the Immortal at Hailing County, but would Hailing County not be submerged? If so, where shall we meet the Immortal?"

As the two conversed, suddenly cries of alarm were heard from both sides of the ship’s rails.

Song Yan hurriedly followed the cries, leaned on the ship’s mast, and looked down, seeing a massive shadow nearly ten feet long swimming underneath, this dark, indistinct shadow emitted an extremely intense pressure.

Suddenly, he had a feeling and looked up, only to see a cultivator in a blue robe floating mid-air.

But in a blink, the blue robe transformed into blue armor, and in his hand held an ice crystal giant axe, his face showing the hideous shark head.

"Heading to Hailing County?" the Shark Demon mocked, then said, "The sacrifices are indeed complete."

Song Yan looked at this Shark Demon.

The Shark Demon was at the Early Stage of Divine Infant realm and carried a peculiar aura.

His gaze swiftly turned to the seabed, and during that look, he spotted a bizarre dragon-shaped statue in the abyss, from which emanated strong array fluctuations concealing its aura. Without careful inspection, even Divinity Transformation cultivators would miss it.

In an instant, he felt thoughtful.

So, that’s how it is...

The reason the Immortals wanted mortals to deliver the offerings to a specified location was entirely due to array restrictions.

They must complete the sacrifice within the array’s range.

As for more about the array, it must be in the Shark Demon’s brain.

Swish, swish, swish...

Just then, a group of gang members knelt down, shouting, "Immortal, have mercy, Immortal, have mercy!"

In their eyes, the truth was that demons conspired with the Imperial Court, demons disguised as Immortals to devour sacrifices.

Song Yan couldn’t wait. He displayed the Early Stage of Divine Infant form and suddenly commanded a flying sword, its light turned into a rainbow, rushing straight for the Shark Demon.

He remembered that during his previous clash with the Formless Ancestor, he hadn’t used a sword...
