Chapter 1268 Seasickness
Zhan Qingning, on the other hand, was much calmer. She gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Miao'er. Master Wei is a very capable navigator. He will definitely be able to lead us out of here. We must believe in him!"
Zhan Miao nodded with difficulty: "Of course I believe him, it's just that my stomach feels so nauseous from all the shaking!"
After saying that, she started vomiting.
Zhan Qingning quickly helped her pat her back and handed her a copper basin.
Lin Yi-wan wasn't much better off; she had never experienced such terrifying waves before.
Standing by the window, she saw the entire giant ship being swept up by the waves, and they were all pushed into the air along with it.
Her heart immediately jumped. Could it be that they were going to come here and never return?
Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, she suddenly felt the large ship stabilize.
She glanced over instinctively and realized they had already passed the eye of the storm.
She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had invited the experienced Master Wei to the ship to be the navigator; otherwise, they would have surely perished at sea.
At this moment, Zhan Yan walked in from outside and said, "Wanwan, we can't go to Immortal Island today!"
She asked in surprise, "Why?"
Zhan Yan replied helplessly, "Because the sail is damaged, we need to find a place to dock and repair it before we can continue sailing!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "I'll follow Master Wei's arrangements!"
The group found a small island to rest on, and Zhan Miao and Lu Na'er ran down to collect seashells.
Master Wei led his men to repair the sails, while Zhan Yan ordered his men to be vigilant and guard the surrounding area.
As night fell, the entire island fell into silence.
Lin Yiwan, who had been fast asleep, was suddenly awakened by a shrill wolf howl.
She quickly crawled out of the tent and saw that many men in black were already fighting with Xie Jianshu, who was guarding the large ship.
She immediately understood their purpose: to destroy their large ship and trap them on this unknown island!
That's absolutely vicious!
Without hesitation, she said, "Meow, have Little White guard the perimeter. We absolutely cannot let them destroy our big ship!"
Zhan Miao nodded eagerly: "Okay!"
Without saying a word, she drove Zhan Xiaobai straight into the darkness.
Perhaps the men in black realized that Xie Jianshu's soldiers were too strong, so they started to have wicked ideas.
Someone drew a bow and nocked an arrow, and even tied a tinderbox to it.
The moment the arrow was released, flames suddenly shot up.
Seeing that it was about to be shot at the large ship, Zhan Miao was so frightened that he immediately rushed over with Zhan Xiaobai without regard for their own safety.
"Bang!" Zhan Xiaobai accurately deflected the arrow, then bit down hard on the neck of the archer.
With a snap, the archer died instantly.
Seeing that there was no hope of destroying the ship, the man in black tried to retreat in a panic.
However, Xie Jianshu was not about to let them go. He had already ordered his men to steal their small boat, ensuring they would never return.
About half an hour later, only a few corpses remained.
As for those who jumped into the sea, they were oblivious to their fate.
Wei Ziyuan turned pale with fright. He never expected that this voyage would be so dangerous, and that someone would launch a sneak attack.
He asked Zhan Yan in a trembling voice, "Lord, what is the background of these men in black?"
Zhan Yan coldly replied, "They are the ones who don't want us to enter Immortal Island smoothly, which further proves that the disappearance of my mother and Prime Minister Min was definitely not an accident!"
Wei Ziyuan immediately frowned. Even though he never paid attention to current affairs, he still had some understanding of the situation in Li Kingdom.
His apprentice held an extraordinary position and was deeply respected by the fishermen.
Especially his family, the Min family, is extremely powerful.
Who would dare to harm Prime Minister Min?
How dare you be so audacious?
He really didn't dare to think about it!
By the time Xie Jianshu had cleaned up the battlefield, it was already dawn.
The thick fog dissipated, and the entire sea became calm.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Ziyuan quickly directed the troops to Immortal Island.
After walking for about several hours, the sky suddenly darkened.
Wei Ziyuan quickly entered the cabin to report: "The miasma has gathered here. I was blinded by the miasma before, so we must take precautions!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Master Wei, your eyes are not miasma at all, but a kind of deadly poison. If I'm not mistaken, this black miasma is not naturally formed, but man-made!"
Wei Ziyuan stared at her in disbelief: "This is at sea, how could this be done by human hands?"
Lin Yiwan observed the wind direction and then called Xie Jianshu over, saying, "Find someone who is a good swimmer, row a small boat to the upwind side, and let Master Wei see the truth!"
The group boarded a small boat and headed straight for the upwind side.
The small boat was extremely well concealed, so it was not detected even when it approached a large ship.
Lin Yiwan ordered her guards, "Go and capture everyone on the big ship alive. I want to see who's playing tricks!"
The guards obeyed and left, quickly disappearing into the sea.
Before long, they returned, dragging a dying man in black with them.
Lin Yiwan splashed him with cold water to wake him up. He looked around warily, and when he met Wei Ziyuan's gaze, a hint of panic flashed across his face.
He quickly said, "Stop killing innocent people! I'm just an ordinary fisherman, why are you attacking me?"
Lin Yiwan sneered: "Would an ordinary fisherman poison us from upwind? It seems you won't tell the truth unless you suffer a bit!"
She gave Shadow Soul a wink, and he promptly and cleanly blinded him.
"Ah!" The man trembled violently in pain.
Lin Yiwan urged in a deep voice, "Tell me quickly, who instructed you to use poison gas on us? Otherwise, you'll lose your other eye too!"
The man answered fearfully, "It was the Fate Master. I was ordered by the Fate Master to burn incense here, trapping you all in the miasma and turning you all blind!"
Wei Ziyuan stared wide-eyed in shock, asking incredulously, "What did you say? Ade told you to wait here?"
A look of guilt flashed across the man's face, and he said in a flustered voice, "Reporting to Master Wei, I dare not lie!"
Wei Ziyuan strode forward, grabbed his collar, and demanded, "What about my eyes? Were they also blinded by this method?"
The man spoke in a cryptic tone: "It wasn't me, it was the Fate Master who did it himself. He said that the most powerful navigators in the country should be under his control, but Master Wei is too upright and doesn't listen to him at all, so he had no choice but to painfully come up with this method to destroy your eyes!"
Wei Ziyuan was struck dumb, and tears streamed down his weathered face.
He never imagined that the apprentice he had personally taught would ruin his eyes.
He's so heartless!
Seeing that Master Wei already knew the truth, Lin Yiwan saw no need to keep that person around any longer.
