184 Chapter 183 chasing the murderer
Lu Chaohe waited patiently for a while on the flying boat.
Even though he knew that with his sister’s strength, she should be fine, but as an elder brother, he couldn’t help but be a little worried.
After a short while, a figure stepping on a flying sword appeared on the side of the flying boat. Chao He was relieved after seeing it with his own eyes.
“Mingchao’s great-grandmother?” Weiwen was a little surprised.
Chaohe waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything more. He then welcomed Lu mingchao in.
After making sure that his sister was fine and uninjured, his attention was naturally focused on the scepter in her hand.
The ocean blue scepter was no longer in its activated state, but the dense blue light was still emitting gently.
“What is this?”
“Don’t ask first, we’ll talk later.”
Since Lu Chaohe did not ask, the others could not ask mingchao about the origin of the scepter.
At that moment, a foundation building cultivator from the Gongsun family walked over. Before he could ask, Lu Chaohe said, ” “This is my younger sister, Lu mingchao. She is an initial enlightenment cultivator of our Lu clan.”
Upon hearing that it was an initial enlightenment cultivator, the person quickly cupped his fists and saluted, ” “I’ve seen Qianqian before, but when we got on the boat, Qianqian didn’t seem to be there.”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to ask.
it’s the first time that the Lu family used this trade route, “Lu Chaohe said. we were worried that there would be problems along the way, so mingchao secretly boarded a ship and followed us.
“I see.” Although it was a little against the rules, now was not the time to be thinking about this. Without Lu mingchao, they would not have been able to escape successfully without paying much of a price during the previous attack by the eastern sea Sharkmen.
After a while, Gongsun Quan, as the person in charge of this Swift Boat, also came to meet Lu mingchao.
Ming Chao, Chaohe, and Gongsun Quan gathered together to discuss the previous attack.
Gong Sun Quan was very confused. The gong Sun family had traveled between the Xue state and the Feiyun state on their flying ships more than once. When it was frequent, it would even go back and forth twice a year; If the interval was long, he would have to make a trip every three or four years. It was not that they did not know that there were Sharkmen activities in this Sea area, but to attack a flying boat? Such a thing had never happened before.
The gong Sun family had dealt with the shark men before. Although they were basically enemies, they didn’t have many conflicts, not to mention large-scale ones. Liao County had a coastline, and the Sharkmen would occasionally come ashore to attack, or attack fishing boats.
The targets of these attacks were mostly ordinary people. As the protectors of Liao County, Gong Sun family had certainly fought against the shark-men before. There was even a period of time when the shark-men were too active in the North of the coastline, that Gong Sun family had even carried out a large-scale operation to clean them up.
However, both the Gongsun clan and the human cultivators of Dong Hai County focused on defense when they exterminated the shark-men. It was very difficult for cultivators to enter the depths of the sea to find the old nest of the Sharkmen and completely destroy it. Their clean-up operation was mostly limited to the coastline and coastal areas, and the deep sea areas were beyond their reach.
Under such circumstances, they were indeed severely lacking in experience in fighting the Sharkmen at sea. They did not even have any contingency plans for the attacks of the Sharkmen.
This did not seem like something the Sharkmen would do.
“Could it be the Husheng trading company?” Lu mingchao raised this doubt.
The Lu clan had been developing rapidly in the past few years, but the interests and resources in this world were limited. The better they developed, the more they needed to occupy more interests. These benefits would not appear out of thin air, so naturally, some people would be occupied. For example, if the Zhao family was not destroyed, the Lu family would not be able to control anling fully. This was the benefit that the Zhao family had given up.
Another example was the opening of a trade route to Xue Zhou. It was obvious that they had a conflict with the Husheng trading company.
It was not a big problem to link the timing of the Sharkmen’s attack to the Husheng trading company.
However, Gongsun Quan was very cautious about the judgment of the two cultivators from the Lu family.
The Gongsun family didn’t want to get involved in the internal strife of the Feiyun state, provided that they were not involved.
If the Husheng trading company was behind the attack of the Sharkmen, the Gongsun family would have to go to the Qingfeng sect to ask for an explanation.
However, Gongsun Quan didn’t want to confirm this matter before he had evidence.
“I can only think that there’s someone behind this. We’ll have to investigate who it is. However, now is not the time. The navigation spell formation has already been fixed, and our top priority is to finish this journey as soon as possible. We’ll talk about the truth later.”
The Lu siblings looked at each other and Chaohe said, ” “That’s the only way. Mingchao doesn’t have any other opinions, right?”
“There isn’t any, Zhenzhen, wait!”
“What’s wrong?” Gongsun Quan quickly asked, afraid that something would happen again.
“It’s nothing,” Lu mingchao’s attitude became calm again, but she did not sit down again. I remember that I still have something to do. You guys fly north on your own. I will catch up with you when I’m done.
The remaining two wanted to ask, but Lu mingchao did not give them the chance to. She immediately walked out of the house, summoned the cloud-treading flying sword, and rode it South.
……
Ming Chao had left in such a hurry because of Lu Qing’s message.
Lu Qing had already left the area before the battle between the Sharkmen over the sea had ended.
After he saw Lu mingchao kill the leader of the Sharkmen and obtain the aquamarine scepter, he knew that there would be no suspense in this battle. There was no need for him to stay any longer.
Lu Qing, who was experienced, knew that this was unlikely to be an independent incident. There were very few records of Sharkmen attacking large airboats. There must be a reason for them to attack the Gongsun clan’s airboat.
Moreover, a battle of this scale could be considered a crusade. In reality, when Lu Qing was at home, he would hear the system’s messages whenever he had nothing to do. The system would tell him where the clan had resolved another crusade. It ranged from small Crusades such as eliminating some bandits and thieves to big Crusades such as killing a group of monsters. Although most of them were 1-star Crusades, they would always bring him some karma.
After this matter was settled, the flying boat started to move, but it was not considered a complete crusade.
Was it because he did not kill all the Sharkmen? It was possible. However, Lu Qing was more inclined to believe that the system had determined that this matter had not been completely resolved.
Therefore, his consciousness body flew out and tried to expand his perception.
In the end, he really caught two people-two human cultivators with a horn.
Lu Qing felt that this horn was familiar.
He was sure that he had never seen this thing before. The sense of familiarity seemed to be related to the ocean blue scepter he had seen before.
