Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 173 The Strongest Has Been Killed
Bai Tao just glanced at Zhang Ze and stopped looking at him, turning to look at the river ahead.

Zhang Ze didn't say anything and followed Qiu Jidan onto the Sturgeon Dragon Boat.

It was also a coincidence that there were only four of them on the passengers this time.

The Sturgeon Dragon Boat was made of cold wood and was incredibly strong. The deck was large enough to easily accommodate more than a dozen people, but Zhang Ze searched around but couldn't find the magic circle that controlled the Sturgeon Dragon Boat or the monks who operated it.

The time signal from the clock tower in Hegang City had stopped, but the Sturgeon Dragon Boat had not yet started. Just when Qiu Jidan was about to ask someone, Bai Tao spoke.

"The boatman is down below."

As Bai Tao finished speaking, a large fish surfaced. Its body was dark blue, and it was a section longer than the Sturgeon boat. It circled the boat twice before diving back into the water.

After a while, the Sturgeon Boat was lifted up by the big fish, and the groove on the bottom of the Sturgeon Boat was firmly attached to the back of the big fish.

"Only four people?" the big fish asked. Because it was underwater, all it could say was a gurgling sound of bubbles.

"Yes, there are only four of us. Sorry to bother Uncle Qingxun." Bai Tao replied while standing at the bow and patting the railing.

"Okay, then I'll swim faster."

The Sturgeon boat was taken away from the port without any shaking, and went upstream along the wide river channel with the big fish on its back.

The speed is very fast, and it looks like we can reach Wangyang City before sunset.

Zhang Ze came to the bow and looked down, "You're really stubborn?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Tao, who was standing aside, was puzzled.

"This Big Fish Senior is incredibly stubborn. He shattered an ice floe half a man's thickness with just one collision. How impressive!"

Zhang Ze pointed to the ice floe in front that was broken by the big fish with its magical power.

"Thank you for the compliment." The gurgling sound of the big fish came up from underwater.

Starting with this incident, Zhang Ze and Bai Tao started chatting casually, but this time he did not ask about the Shendan Gang, but talked about Qianji Pavilion and the local customs and practices.

He told Bai Tao that he was from Qianji Pavilion, and her little niece opened a shop in Qianji Pavilion, so he asked them if they knew each other after entering the store.

"I came to the north this time to gain experience with those two." Zhang Ze pointed at Lin Feng and Qiu Jidan standing at the stern.

After Zhang Ze cleared up her doubts, Bai Tao's brows relaxed a little, but she was still wary.

Zhang Zequan pretended not to see it and continued chatting with Bai Tao.

Zhang Ze discovered that when Miss Bai Tao was not talking about the Shendan Gang, her tone and attitude were very normal, especially when she talked about the Northern Territory and Wangyang City, she became talkative.

As they chatted, Bai Tao acted as a tour guide.

"Look over there, that's the Great Wall of the North. You can reach the North by crossing it." After turning a river bend and leaving the mountains, Bai Tao pointed to the frozen plain ahead.

Zhang Ze saw a white line on the plain in the distance, spreading to both sides, seemingly endless.

And that white line is the Great Wall in the North.

With mountains as its walls, the other side of the Great Wall is the northern border with year-round winter.

The North was once the place where Eastern Qi exiled criminals and demons. The Great Wall served both as a deterrent and a barrier. Now that the North is free, the demons haven't torn down the wall, but have instead been actively exploiting it.

They turned the Northern Wall into a tourist attraction.

The biggest project is the Ice Cave. It is said that the extremely cold spiritual energy in the cave and the power of the earth veins are harmonized with each other, achieving a perfect balance.

Monks who specialize in Yin and cold power can retreat there and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, some sections of the Great Wall were full of holes dug by this group of monsters, and it would give you claustrophobia if you looked closely.

Fortunately, the northern wall is long enough, so digging only a few sections will not be a big deal.

"The Great Wall is not only useful for training, but it's also fun just for fun."

"For a few spirit stones, you can sit on an ice plate and be pushed down from the top of the Great Wall."

When Bai Tao talked about this, her tone was a little nostalgic, and Zhang Ze felt that she might have done this before. However, Zhang Ze still questioned the safety of this project, but Bai Tao said it was really safe and that anyone over the age of six could play it.

After talking about the Great Wall, Bai Tao, a qualified tour guide, started talking about Wangyang City.

"We'll reach Wangyang City in another hour. If you want to stay in the city, remember to stay in the rooms on the top floor. You can get up early in the morning and see the sun rising behind the section of the Great Wall in the east."

"It's really beautiful." Bai Tao said.

"Indeed." The gurgling sound of a big fish came from underwater again.

However, although Bai Tao talked a lot, she didn't mention much about her own affairs. She didn't say a word about her relationship with the Manfuyu Chamber of Commerce, or the purpose of her trip to Wangyang City.

"I don't know where you are going to train, to the south of Wangyang City." Bai Tao began to introduce the surrounding environment of Wangyang City to Zhang Ze.

But before she could finish her words, Zhang Ze pulled her and she fell to the ground because she was caught off guard.

The next second, a blade of energy cut through the railing that Bai Tao had just held on to.

Almost immediately, a muffled groan was heard from underwater, and the large fish sank to the bottom. The sturgeon boat, due to inertia, had collided with the ice floe ahead, and without the large fish to clear the way, the sturgeon boat was stuck in the ice and could not move.

"Be careful!" It was Hero Qiu.

He briefly flew into the air, his figure transformed into a streak of light, and rushed in front of Zhang Ze. He struck out with one palm, knocking a white shadow out of its shape.

The white shadow was wearing a white robe and a featureless mask on his face. He seemed to be uninjured. He turned around and raised his knife to fight with Qiu Jidan.

The knife skills he used were also ordinary, and it was hard to tell where he learned them from.

Qiu Jidan formed a Taoist seal with his hands, and a cold air spread around him. Shark shadows emerged and slashed towards the attacker in white robes like a whirlwind.

Because he was anxious to save people, although he tried to cover it up, Qiu Jidan had already used the methods of the Cold Shark lineage of the Hundred Demons Sect.

Zhang Ze was also very familiar with this move, but he pretended not to notice it. He pulled Bai Tao towards Lin Feng and hid a thousand machine gun behind him.

However, after running a few steps, he felt his hand sink and Bai Tao suddenly fainted.

Lin Feng had already rushed to Zhang Ze's side by this time, and they protected Bai Tao on their left and right.

Qiu Jidan's martial arts became more powerful due to the favorable terrain, and he had already suppressed the man in white robe. But when he was about to kill him, his body went limp and he passed out, and was then chopped into the river by the man in white robe.

After dealing with Qiu Jidan, the man in white robe stood at the bow and sneered at Zhang Ze and Lin Feng.

He made a gesture, and several more men in white robes jumped out from the snow on both sides of the river bank. They stepped on the floating ice and leaped onto the bow of the boat, surrounding Zhang Ze and Lin Feng.

"You did something to this ship?" Zhang Ze suddenly said, "It's poison, right? The more you use spiritual energy, the more poisoned you will be."

After hearing Zhang Ze's words, the leading white-robed man clapped his hands and said, "Smart, but meaningless."

Qiu Jidan cut a hole in the right sleeve of the man in white robe. As he clapped his hands, Zhang Ze saw an iron arm.

"Will a poisoned person completely lose consciousness?" Zhang Ze asked again.

"That's right, so I suggest you give it your all now, so you can die more peacefully later."

The man in white robe was not nervous. The strongest man had already been killed by him, so the two wandering cultivators in front of him were nothing to worry about.

The fox is the important thing, we have to bring it back alive.

Just as he was about to order his men to take action, he saw the casual cultivator who had just spoken smile.

"Brother Feng, the same old rules." Zhang Ze took out his sword case.

"It's better to give it half to each person and leave a few alive, right?" Lin Feng asked.

"That's right, hurry up and finish the fight. I don't think Qiu Jidan is dead, so we need to get him out of the water quickly."

After Zhang Ze finished speaking, he fired a Thousand Machine Cannon shot at the white-robed man in the lead.
