Chapter 326: Strange White-Haired Person

A steady stream of spiritual strength entered Ding Ning’s consciousness to make up for the soul being burned up. Like a moth flying into a flaming time and time again as it burned brightly.

Only through this did he maintain a delicate balance with the speed at which the Fire of the Underworld burned. If this was on land, Ding Ning’s soul would have long been burned to death.

Luoxue sat unmoving on a rock by the sea, hugging her knees and staring dazedly at the frozen sea. She hoped to see Ding Ning suddenly jump out of the sea and rub her head with a smile.

She had maintained this position already for two days and two nights, she was like the Amah Rock. Although Ding Ning’s spiritual mark in her mind had already become very weak and on the brink of flickering out, she still believed that he would return safely.

The Air Force Wings were not very intelligent, and they were the equivalent of seven-year-old children. They had not realized the danger their master was in and was still flying carelessly in the sky above the deserted island.

They did not like the temperature of the frozen sea. Carefreely, they went around to the other of the island to search for food.

About a few dozen sea miles east of the deserted island, a luxury yacht sailed aimlessly across the ocean.

On the yacht, the two dozen or so bikini-clad beauties, the owner of the yacht, and his friends were not enjoying the beautiful scenery as usual. Instead, they knelt trembling on the ground as they looked with fear at the strange white-haired man, who stood with his hands behind his bank as he gazed toward the horizon, and the young man standing respectfully behind him.

The white-haired man was strange because his age was very vague. If one said he was seventy or eighty, it was believable. If one said he was just into his twenties, it was also believable.

The man’s white hair, white brows, and bent body seemed like that an aged elder yet there was not a single wrinkle on his face. His skin was as red and smooth as a baby’s. The saying of having white hair but a child’s face probably referred to this.

If this was all, then it would be fine. However, he also wore his long hair loose and was wearing the long robes of ancient times. If not for the fact that the young man at his side had come onto the yacht and immediately beaten up the yacht owner and a few bodyguards to intimidate everyone, everyone would have thought that he was an actor in some movie that had forgotten to remove his makeup.

The young man behind him looked quite normal and he wore normal clothing. However, his face was like that of a dead person, there was not a trace of human emotion. In particular, his lips were as red as blood and appeared especially strange.

Anyone who could afford to buy a yacht and take it out to sea with bikini girls had to be a powerful figure in Ninghai. The owner of this yacht, Gao Shenqing, was not an exception. He was the heir to the listed Gao Family business. Even if he was unable to join the ranks of the most notable people in Ninghai, he was very close to it.

Given the Gao Family business’ wealth and position, even the most notable people would not offend them easily. But the strange white-haired man had not even looked at him properly since coming onto the yacht.

His dozen bodyguards had been taken out and Mr. Gao felt that it was a great loss of face. Gathering his courage, he announced his identity in the hopes that the strange white-haired man would give consideration to the later consequences of his actions. However, all he got in return was a slap from the expressionless youth. After that, he had no choice but to crouch quietly among the other people. In his heart, he resentfully muttered to himself that he would call the police on these two arrogant but ignorant people once they got back on land and shut them away forever.

Yes, this yacht had been hijacked. Other than a few people driving the yacht, everyone else had been gathered up and forced to crouch on the deck. They were not allowed to move or speak.

Fortunately, they had not started killing people. Even the bodyguards had not had arms and legs broken so they could no longer resist. This made the young men and bikini-clad girls feel slightly more at ease.

When the yacht approached the deserted island, the workers sailing the yacht came forward with expressions of terror and respectfully reported. “Sir… we can’t go further forward, Ghost Island in front.”

“Ghost Island?” The expressionless youth raised his brows as if not understanding what that meant.

The staff members vividly described the horror of the Ghost Island and this brought some expression to the young man’s face for the first time as he looked questioningly at the strange white-haired man.

Unexpectedly, a surprised expression appeared on the strange white-haired man’s expressionless face following a wave of coldness. “It’s here, there’s no mistake about it. Go forward.”

“This is Ghost…”

The staff member’s face was full of horror. Before he finished speaking, the expressionless young man slapped him across the face. “Do as you’re told, and there’s no need for such nonsense.”

“Yes, sir!”

With an uncomfortable expression, the staff member nodded and bowed and continued moving forward but he prayed silently to himself in the hopes that no fog would roll in at this time.

“Master, did the light from the treasure two days ago come from here?”

Only when the young man faced the strange white-haired man would a trace of respect appear on his face.

“Yes, look at how there’s ice on the surface of the ocean in this weather. The treasure must be here, no mistake about it. If I am correct, this treasure must be of the ice series. Although it is of no use to us, once we have it, we can take it to Ice Demon and exchange it for the blood crystal we need.”

A fanatic light appeared in the strange white-haired man’s eyes as he looked to the frozen sea in front.

“The blood crystal! With the blood crystal, I have hope of breaking through to the Earth Martian Arts realm within a year!” The expressionless young man greedily licked his blood-red lips and an eager light appeared in his eyes.

They were not alone in approaching the island. Not far from the deserted island, three fishing boats also approached the island at the same time without prior consultation. At the same time, they gave orders, that could not be refused, to the ship owners to approach the deserted island.

They were all Ancient Warriors who were close by Ninghai. The light that shot into the sky from Ding Ning severing the demon-sealing chain alerted them and made them mistakenly believe that it was the birth of a treasure. Thus, they each rushed to this area to search for the treasure.

This was the first batch of people who came to search this part of the sea for unusual activities. There were more Ancient Warriors scouting around the nearby sea in search of the position of the treasure. From this, it was clear just how attractive a treasure was to Ancient Warriors.

The strange white-haired man and the expressionless young man were the first to reach the island. The yacht was unable to get any closer than a kilometer from the island leaving them no choice but to abandon the yacht and approach the island on the ice.

However, there was no way they would allow the yacht to leave. After all, they still had to sail it back. Thus, each person on the yacht was poisoned by the strange white-haired man. The poison would only activate after three days. If they escaped, they would die without question.

For the sake of his life, Gao Shenqing and the others had no choice but to wait obediently aboard the yacht no matter how unwilling they were.

However, they had no idea that the strange white-haired man and the expressionless young man had no intention of leaving anyone alive to leak news of the treasure and bring trouble to them. They would all die in three days.

“Oh, there are people who got here ahead of us?”

The strange white-haired man quickly led the expressionless young man onshore to search the island. Very quickly, they saw Luoxue hugging her knees and looking out at the sea. At this sight, their brow furrowed slightly.

The expressionless young man saw Luoxue’s pretty silhouette and extended his tongue to lick his bright red lips. A greedy expression appeared in his eyes. “Master, I think this is a normal person, not an Ancient Warrior. Should I capture and question her?”

“Wait, there is no one else on this island and no boats around yet this girl is alone on the island. This is very strange, so it will be best to investigate her first.”

The strange white-haired man was a mistrustful man. He extended a hand to stop the expressionless young man’s rash actions and spoke solemnly.

“A young girl in her early twenties, even if she was an Ancient Warrior, she can’t possibly be a match for us. Are you not being too cautious?”

The expressionless young man objected.

“What do you know? So what if she’s only in her early twenties. Is the Queen of the Night not only twenty-something? Yet she’s already a celestial master. How many times have I told you? You must be very careful when doing anything. If we run into the Queen of the Night, we will both die here.”

The strange white-haired man scolded angrily. “I asked you to do one little thing in Ninghai. All you’ve done is that you killed six women and alerted the Seventeenth Bureau. If I didn’t come in time, you would have been caught already.”

“How many Queen of the Nights can there be? How could there be such a coincidence.”

The expressionless young man spoke unhappily, “Besides, for the six women I killed, I drained them of blood and turned into mummies. Until now, the Seventeenth Bureau still thinks it’s the work of a vampire from the west. Even if you had not come, that bunch of idiots are not able to catch me. The only pity is that there are so few virgins in Ninghai, despite it being such a large city. So depressing.”

“You have no idea of the powers you’re messing with. There are many hidden talents inside the Seventeenth Bureau, some that even I have to be wary of. You are merely at the Xuan Martial Arts Realm, yet you dare to commit crimes in such a big city as Ninghai, you really have no idea what’s good for you.”

The strange white-haired man was extremely annoyed and his tone grew stern.

The expressionless young man opened his mouth as if to rebuke more but seeing the strange white-haired man’s ugly expression, he immediately closed his mouth obediently and did not dare to say anymore. However, he still did not agree with his master’s words. He felt that the martial artists in the world were not worth a mention and nothing to be afraid of.

“Alright, enough chitter-chatter. Go ask the girl why she’s here. Let’s get a feel for the situation then we can decide.”

The strange white-haired man waved his hand impatiently and ordered.

“Hey, who are you? Why are you here?”

The expressionless young man charged excitedly to Luoxue’s side but when he realized Luoxue was not a virgin, his interest waned and he questioned her condescendingly.

The strange white-haired man listened from a distance and a trace of anger flashed through his eyes. This disciple of his was talented beyond measure and made vast improvements in cultivation every day. He had reached the Xuan Martial Arts Realm at a very young age and could be considered very good among the Ancient Martial Arts world.

Additionally, he had not suffered much in his journey and this had led to an inflation of his ego. From the depths of his heart, he did not think very highly of any person. If this went on, he would eventually cause a disaster.

All of Luoxue’s attention was on Ding Ning at the bottom of the sea so she did not hear the expressionless man’s question at all. Her eyes remained unmoving as she stared out at the sea.

“Hey, I’m talking to you, did you hear me? Godd*mn, are you deaf?”

Seeing Luoxue ignore him, the expressionless young man immediately became angry and yelled angrily.

“Shut up!”

The strange white-haired man could not suppress his anger anymore and walked over quickly as he yelled.

He still felt that it was very unusual for a girl to dare to be alone on this deserted island. Seeing that she paid no attention to his disciple, he felt even more alarmed and was worried that she had a powerful backer. How could he allow his worrisome disciple to offend her?

“Hello, Miss, my name is Ouyang Tang, and this is my disciple Yun Yi. He is a straightforward man but does not mean ill. I apologize for his rudeness earlier.”

The strange white-haired man glared at Yun Yi and fully filled the rules of the Jianghu as he wrapped a hand around his fist and bowed.

Yun Yi rolled his eyes. He felt that his master was being too cautious. What threat could a girl in her early twenties be on this deserted island?

Luoxue had no attention to spare for Yun Yi so naturally, she had none for the strange white-haired man either. Her eyes remained fixed on the ocean as if she had not heard anything at all.

“Miss, Miss, may I ask how you came to be here?”

Ouyang Tang’s expression was unhappy but he held down his temper. He would first learn who Luoxue was first. If she was of no consequence, he would make this girl, who dared to ignore him, pay a most painful price.

“Is this girl deaf?”

Yun Yi muttered quietly.
