Chapter 631: Chapter 500 Trace of the Demon Cultivator
“Demon cultivators, huh…”
Su Yuan withdrew his gaze, shaking his head slightly. This had nothing to do with him.
Once he crossed this Nuo River, he would continue on his journey.
After nearly half a day more, it was already past three o’clock.
In the teahouse by the ferry, several people, including the three who had been talking earlier, had already started to leave, preparing to board the ferry.
Not long after, Yuan Chao led his junior brothers and sisters out of a private room.
Yuan Chao casually scanned the room, his gaze landing on the silver-eyed youth drinking tea by the window. The youth happened to look up at that moment.
“Hmm?”
Those bright silver pupils gave Yuan Chao the sudden feeling of being seen through, leaving him momentarily stunned.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother Yuan?” Li Qiao Yun asked quickly when she noticed Yuan Chao zoning out.
“It’s nothing.” Yuan Chao shook his head, refocusing on the silver-eyed youth by the window. The youth had already turned his head away, and that feeling had disappeared as if it had been an illusion.
Shaking his head again, Yuan Chao withdrew his gaze and said, “Let’s go.”
“That person’s perception is quite sharp.” Su Yuan watched them walk away through the window, set down his teacup, and stood up to leave.
At the ferry, Star Card Masters came from various parts of the city, verified their tickets, and boarded the large boat.
Most were Gold Level, but there were also several Shining Star Level.
With a quick glance, Su Yuan estimated there were about twenty people, all at the Shining Star Level.
After all, 10,000 Cent Star Stones were far beyond what a Gold Level could afford.
Even with a detour, they couldn’t possibly take this ferry.
One person at 10,000 Cent Star Stones, twenty people totaled 200,000 Cent Star Stones, almost equivalent to an entire Shining Star Level’s wealth. Truly a lucrative business!
However, since this was nearly a monopoly industry, there weren’t many good alternatives.
“Oh, that person is here too?” At the bow, Yuan Chao saw Su Yuan boarding.
Qiao Huai asked, “Senior Brother, what’s with that person?”
“It’s nothing,” Yuan Chao shook his head. “He was just in the teahouse earlier.”
Qiao Huai eyed Su Yuan for a few moments, surprised. “Such remarkable Concealing Breath. Even I can’t discern much, except that he’s Shining Star Level.”
Yuan Chao, astonished, asked, “Oh, even you can’t see through him, Junior Qiao?”
Qiao Huai’s Power of Soul was tuned for support, making him adept at reconnaissance.
Qiao Huai nodded, “Unless I use the Insight Method, but that’s impolite and would definitely alert him… Hmm? He already sensed us!”
As Qiao Huai spoke, the silver-eyed youth glanced at them.
They quickly averted their eyes. Yuan Chao said, “Just let it be. As long as he doesn’t interfere with our pursuit of the demon cultivator, it doesn’t matter.”
…
Before long, the boat set off.
Besides the passengers, Captain Lv’s men, about seven or eight, including a vice-captain who was a Purple Card Master, were responsible for maintaining order on board.
Su Yuan didn’t enter the cabin. Instead, he stood alone by the railing.
“This water is truly lifeless.”
Su Yuan gazed at the Nuo River. Even as the large boat passed through, it created only a ripple that quickly vanished.
As the boat sailed deeper into the Nuo River, the surrounding black mist grew thicker.
However, as Qin Song had said, this black mist would avoid the large boat made from Black Nuo Trees rather than envelop it.
Of course, Su Yuan wouldn’t place his entire life’s trust in this boat.
In Nuo City, he had already left a Transmission Decree.
If something unexpected happened, he just needed to stall for a moment and activate the Transmission Decree to return to Nuo City.
No matter how wide the Nuo River was, it couldn’t exceed the Transmission Decree’s range.
Time passed slowly, and the scenery ahead seemed unchanged.
After a few hours, the sky darkened, and the boat’s speed finally began to slow.
“Oh, we’re arriving?”
Su Yuan looked up. The black mist was much thinner now.
Under the moonlight, he could faintly see the situation on the shore ahead.
Across the Nuo River was a dense forest. Once he passed through it, he would enter the Southern Domain.
And in the Southern Domain lay the Qiankun Sect and Yixian Dao, two of the top ten major sects!
After a while, the boat slightly shook, signaling it had docked.
“We’ve arrived!”
Captain Lv called out, leading his men to secure the boat.
“Finally, some relief after sitting for so long.”
The burly man from the teahouse trio immediately leaped ashore.
Others followed him off the boat.
Captain Lv addressed the members of the Hundred Origin Sect, “Take care, everyone. You’re always welcome in Nuo City.”
Yuan Chao cupped his fists, “Thank you for your trouble, Captain Lv.”
Captain Lv waved his hand and smiled, “It’s nothing, really.”
For these major sect disciples, Captain Lv dared not show any negligence, especially since the Hundred Origin Sect was the dominant force in the area.
This was why Wang Hao, Yan Zhen, and even Yuan Chao wore their sect uniforms.
Compared to the government-controlled East Continent, the sect-controlled Southern Continent was undoubtedly more chaotic.
Wearing sect uniforms deterred petty criminals, saving a lot of trouble along the way.
Captain Lv didn’t dare charge Yuan Chao and his group more for the ferry tickets, even giving them a 50% discount…
Su Yuan also got off the boat, but as soon as he stepped onto the ground, his expression grew serious.
