Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 126 - 102: Gathering Yang and Counterattack

Chen Yi cautiously peered out from a crack in his room window, discovering that the youngster brought onto the uninhabited island by Ghost Face in a black robe was Mr. Zhao!

The old servant at his side, along with the Zhao family elder who was at the late stage of Qi Cultivation who came to receive Mr. Zhao, had already disappeared.

Ghost Face threw Mr. Zhao onto the ship, carefully checking the young man's physical condition with his hand,

He laughed sinisterly.

He then checked the storage bag in his hand, probably finding another unexpected surprise, and hummed in satisfaction.

Chen Yi retracted his gaze, a chill running through his heart.

It seemed that an old servant next to Zhao Chengyu, plus an elder from the Zhao family who was in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, must have died at Ghost Face's hands,

Their purpose was unknown, but Mr. Zhao was obviously an important part of his plan.

If anything was special about Mr. Zhao, it would have to be his dual Water-Wood spiritual roots.

Chen Yi decided to pretend to sleep, along with the others, waiting and watching for an opportunity.

At this point, if he acted against Ghost Face, he wasn't confident of success.

...

The Spirit Ship sailed overnight to an unnamed island. In a corner of the island that did not face the sun, a hidden waterway was shrouded by thick fog.

Ghost Face took out a jade token, activated it using a magic formula,

The thick fog gradually opened a path, Ghost Face drove the Spirit Ship into the path, the thick fog behind it quickly resurfaced,

Among the vast ocean, countless islands existed,

With such a small, spiritually barren island as Ghost Face's base, shrouded in fog, it would ordinarily escape notice.

At this time, the boys on the ship woke up one after another, but except for Chen Yi and Liu Huo, the rest were staying in the large compartment at the bottom of the ship, and they didn't understand what had happened.

"Hehe, my delightful children are awake, all of you get out for me!"

A cold and chilling voice echoed throughout the cabin, causing the boys to shudder.

The remaining people unknowingly came out of the cabin, onto the deck, where they discovered the ship had arrived at a strange island,

And the guards were gone,

The position of Island Master Qian was now occupied by a man in a black robe,

That chilling aura came from him.

"Who are you? Where is this? Where is Qian, the manager? We're supposed to go to Golden Dragon Fish Island, let us leave now!"

One of the youths with a sense of responsibility stepped forward.

However, with a smack,

The black robed Ghost Face immediately raised his head, a black aura flashed, sending the young man flying,

The boy screamed as he fell to the ground, blood spewing from his nose and mouth.

"Hmph, those who speak without my permission, this will be your consequence! If I didn't have use for you, anyone who'd dare to speak would already be dead!"

Suddenly, the young boys were filled with fear, recalling what Island Master Qian had mentioned about bandit cultivators and demon cultivators earlier, their hearts sank.

Bandit cultivators rob for wealth. As a group of youngsters that were penniless, they couldn't possibly be their targets,

But, demon cultivators were truly terrifying because you wouldn't know what they were after...

Indeed, all of the 32 boys were quickly herded by the man in the black robe into a cave. He casually threw a couple of large sea creatures by the cave mouth,

"Eat if you are hungry. Anyone who leaves the cave without permission will be killed!"

With that, the man in black activated simple restriction spells outside the cave, preparing to leave.

"Giggle~"

Suddenly, an enchanting female laugh echoed in the air,

"Senior Brother, your harvest is plentiful this time~"

A woman in a scanty red skirt rode the wind towards them.

Ghost Face frowned, "Hmph, Junior sister, who asked you to come? When did you discover my secret?"

"Giggle, my dear Senior Brother, if I hadn't followed you this time, I would never have known that you had such a good hideout!

Why did you gather these youngsters with spiritual roots?

Are you planning to use the forbidden method of extracting spiritual roots?"

Ghost Face's expression changed, "Nonsense! I'm just collecting spirit slaves!"

"Giggle, capturing spirit slaves yet risking the capture of dual spiritual roots? Dear Senior Brother, don't blame me for not warning you,

Even in the demon path, such forbidden methods are not allowed.

However... if you gave me a few robust young men, I'll pretend I never came today. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Ghost Face fell into deep thought,

Although he was more advanced in cultivation than his Junior Sister by a large margin, they were both practitioners of the demon path. He didn't know what secret lifesaving tricks she had up her sleeve.

If he couldn't kill her with one blow and allowed her to escape, Ghost Face would have no place in the demon path.

Both righteous and demon cultivators would chase him down, and he'd have no place to run to.

With that thought in mind, Ghost Face coldly said:

"You swear! Never to reveal the whereabouts of this place!"

"Hmph, if you want me to swear, I want ten robust young men!"

"Ten is too much, only five at most, and you're not allowed to pick the dual spirit roots one!"

"Fine, five it is!"

The red-skirted woman swore the oath. Then she called all 32 boys to come out one by one, eyeing each one of them.

Eventually, she picked five. Three appeared robust, with large, straight noses,

The other two were naturally Liu Huo and Chen Yi.

Among the boys, both of them showed signs of body cultivation and were picked out by the witch despite their efforts to remain low-profile.

The lady in the red skirt demanded a temporary wooden hut from Ghost Face on the island,

She tied the four boys outside the house, dragged one in robust condition in with her.

Chen Yi, Liu Huo, and the other two boys exchanged glances,

"Lie down, undress!"

"Don't move!"

Following the two commands by the woman, obscene noises could be heard,

After less than ten breaths, the sound of the young boy's moaning could be heard,

"Hmph, seems robust, but so short-lasting, useless!

Eat this, and come again!"
