Free Web NovelChapter 1516: Chapter 571: Fierce Battle Before the Palace (2)
A moment later, a letter was finished.
Along with the sea chart, it was put into the envelope.
Walking out of the room, Su Mo gave a whistle, and the Messenger Eagle immediately swooped down from the clouds, landing on Su Mo’s arm.
Su Mo placed the letter securely, whispered a few words to the eagle, and then released it with a flick of the hand, watching it spread its wings and fly away.
It soon vanished from sight.
Watching the eagle vanish into the distance, Yang Xiaoyun stood beside Su Mo, softly saying:
"Once the journey to the Martial God Temple ends, it’s probably time for us to leave Nanhai, right?"
"Mm."
Su Mo nodded slightly:
"Now we can almost be certain, this is indeed the final battle in Nanhai.
"After this battle, we can head directly to Xizhou."
Yang Xiaoyun lightly exhaled, her eyes glimmering:
"How exciting!"
...
...
The trip to Leng Family Manor seemed like a mere interlude in Su Mo’s voyage.
From then on, apart from the increasingly violent storms as they approached the Martial God Temple, there wasn’t much else of note.
But these mere storms couldn’t deter Su Mo and his group.
Not only were the sailors on the ship seasoned, but Su Mo’s skills were such that even if they encountered towering waves, they could easily be turned into mere ripples.
Once they sailed past the turbulent storm area, the surroundings suddenly became calm and serene.
The sky remained overcast.
No rain fell, but a light mist shrouded the area, yet it didn’t obscure vision.
Looking around, the horizon was all one could see.
After confirming a direction and sailing for half a day’s time, they finally spotted a black dot on the sea.
"Is that the Martial God Temple?"
Ming Yue Taoist and others came back to Su Mo’s ship, standing at the bow, looking at the black dot, unable to contain their excitement.
"Who would’ve thought that one day we would actually have such a great opportunity to reach the Nanhai Martial God Temple!"
Gu Renzheng gently exhaled, instinctively clasping his hands together.
Lingxiao Sword Elder remained calm.
Lei Zhenming laughed heartily:
"The Divine Skill Secret Book within the Martial God Temple is truly tempting.
"After this journey, when we come back, each of us will be of great significance!"
"We’re already quite important now."
Ming Yue Taoist shook his head slightly: "But what does this little bit of fame mean?"
"You are like a pure breeze and bright moon, but I find joy in this turbulent world."
Lei Zhenming laughed: "What do you, old Taoist, know about worldly pleasures?"
"We owe our presence here to the Young Alliance Leader’s wisdom, not holding grudges against us."
"Indeed, all thanks to the Young Alliance Leader!"
"No matter what opportunities arise on this trip, we owe it all to the Young Alliance Leader."
"The Young Alliance Leader’s benevolence surpasses the heavens and is unfathomable. Nothing could ever repay even a fraction of this debt!"
As they spoke, they began to heap praises again.
Su Mo smiled slightly, waving his hand:
"I understand the joy, but I must warn you.
"This journey is fraught with peril; no one can predict the traps in the Martial God Temple.
"You’ll have to be extra careful...
"If anyone perishes carelessly... don’t blame me for bringing you to danger!"
"Of course!!"
"The Martial God Temple is extraordinary, there will likely be casualties. Our lives are in the hands of fate, and no one should blame the Young Alliance Leader!"
"Exactly, anyone who dares to be so disrespectful, we’ll be the first to object!!"
Everyone voiced their commitment.
Su Mo smiled, unconcerned.
Yang Xiaoyun, Wei Ziyi, and Little Situ gathered around Su Mo.
Behind them were Zhen Xiaoxiao, Old Ma, Fu Han Yuan, Cheng Suying, and the siblings Duan Renjie, Yin Xiaoyu, the sick young master, along with the Sihai Dragon Heads, all present.
Su Mo glanced back at the group:
"Who among you is willing to accompany me in?"
The group looked at each other, and finally Old Ma cupped his fist and said:
"Hall Master, it’s up to your discretion, if you take us in, we’ll face our fates, and perhaps soar to great heights.
"If you don’t take us, we have no complaints."
Everyone else nodded, Zhen Xiaoxiao even yawned repeatedly, showing no interest in the Martial God Temple.
Seeing this, Su Mo smiled:
"Alright, since that’s the case..."
Just as he said this, he suddenly heard someone shouting from above: freewёbnoνel.com
"Someone’s up there!"
The crowd was momentarily puzzled, immediately took out their Thousand mile Sights to check.
Song Yuanlong took a Thousand mile Sight from his bosom and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo looked up and indeed saw people.
Not only were there people, but they were also battling at sea.
From the sea to the sky, and again from the sky to the ships.
On one side were eight or nine large ships, brimming with experts, each extraordinary.
The other side had twenty to thirty large ships.
The experts went all out, entangled in battle, with the numerically superior side unable to suppress the adversaries.
Su Mo immediately recognized the origin of the twenty to thirty large ships.
He glanced at Wei Ziyi:
"Your grandfather."
"...Your grandfather!"
Wei Ziyi retorted instinctively.
Su Mo thought for a moment: "Whatever makes you happy."
Wei Ziyi quickly understood Su Mo’s meaning, her face turning beet red, immediately asking:
"Is it my grandfather?"
"That’s right."
Su Mo nodded, giving orders to Song Yuanlong:
"Full speed ahead!
"Notify Gu Qingsong and Wang Shuai, convey my command to protect the Nanhai Alliance, annihilate the enemy ships!!"
Song Yuanlong immediately obeyed, passing the orders to Gu Qingsong and Wang Shuai with flag signals he had learned from them.
