Chapter 119: Treasure Ship
As they were speaking, a mid-sized cargo ship flying the banner of the Weiyuan Escort Agency came speeding out from the direction of the island interior.
The ship moved quickly, clearly wanting to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Five or six people stood at the bow, led by a burly man with a full beard. His aura clearly showed he was at the early stage of embracing elixir strength.
Though he and the escort masters behind him were covered in bloodstains and many were injured, their faces beamed with wild joy and excitement. The cargo hold was packed full, with bulging cloth sacks even spilling out through the cabin doors.
A flash of light gleamed in Shen Xiuyong's eyes. His figure shifted slightly, and in the next instant he appeared on the water surface directly in front of the escort ship. His Lihuo true qi formed an invisible platform beneath his feet, holding him steady.
The speeding escort ship came to an abrupt halt, its bow kicking up large sprays of water.
"Halt! This one is Shen Xiuyong, an elder of Five Terraces Sect."
Though Shen Xiuyong's voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached the ears of every escort master. "Five Terraces Sect is here to eliminate the remaining demon sect evildoers! Who are you people? What cargo do you carry? Do you have any traces of Zheng family remnants or the Nine Waves Island bandit chiefs? Submit to inspection immediately!"
The bearded escort leader's wild joy instantly froze on his face. Seeing clearly who was blocking their path, his heart sank heavily, and he cursed their bad luck inwardly. How did they run into this troublemaker!
