Chapter 1529: Chapter 1526: The Wonderful Uses of Slaughter Comprehension!

Lin Bai arrived on the deck of the Spirit Boat, looking down at Mangshan Ridge below.

Lin Bai asked, "How long will it take to reach Haizhen City based on the speed of Silver Moon Commerce Association?"

Fang Jin thought for a moment and replied, "We just set off from the Litian Dynasty. It should take a little over a month to get to Haizhen City."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, gazing at the vast expanse of Mangshan Ridge.

When the Spirit Boat reached halfway through Mangshan Ridge, Gao Rui appeared on the deck with a group of veteran Guardians, saying loudly, "Call all the other Guardians out, and have them alert."

Both Lin Bai and Fang Jin turned back, looking at Gao Rui, who was clearly the leader of the group.

At that moment, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi descended from the third floor of the Spirit Boat to the deck, seeing all the Guardians gathered, he said lightly, "Everyone be careful. We were ambushed here before, and over seventy strong ones were injured."

It was then that Lin Bai realized that the Silver Moon Commerce Association had been ambushed here previously, causing significant losses among the strong ones, and hence they returned to Mangshan Town to recruit Warriors.

On the deck, all the newly recruited Warriors gathered, their eyes vigilantly scanning the thick jungles of Mangshan Ridge around them.

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s gaze turned cold as he looked straight ahead of the Spirit Boat, where a Skyscraper Giant Tree stood, soaring about ten thousand feet high, as if it could support the heavens.

At the summit of the giant tree at that moment, Lin Bai saw a Black-robed Warrior, his Eyes coldly staring at those on the Spirit Boat.

It wasn’t just Lin Bai who saw this person; other Warriors on the deck also noticed him.

"There’s someone!"

"There’s an enemy!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Warriors on the deck began yelling, pulling out weapons from their Storage Bags, staring intently at the Warrior on the giant tree, their faces showing a trace of solemnity!

Both Housekeeper Zhuo Yi and Gao Rui also looked at this person with a solemn expression.

Gao Rui shouted loudly, "All Guardians, prepare to follow me in an attack, kill this person."

"Huh?" Lin Bai was startled and turned to Gao Rui.

At that moment, Lin Bai asked, "Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, are the Warriors who attacked you here earlier the same as him?"

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi shook his head and said, "No, the ones who attacked us were more than a hundred Warriors at the Perfect Yin Saint Realm, and there’s only one of him."

Lin Bai said, "If it’s not him, then we shouldn’t bother with him. He holds no killing intent towards us!"

Gao Rui coldly said, "You know nothing. The Evil People in this Mangshan Ridge specialize in hunting Warriors to steal their Treasures. Even though he does not show a killing intent now, once our Spirit Boat gets closer, he will definitely make a move."

"And his companions must be hiding beneath that giant tree."

"Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, we should strike first!"

Gao Rui said to Housekeeper Zhuo Yi.

"Indeed, Gao Rui makes sense. We should strike first; otherwise, if they strike first, we will probably be attacked from both front and back," Housekeeper Zhuo Yi also agreed with Gao Rui.

Lin Bai shook his head slightly and said, "Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, this person shows no killing intent towards us, why should we provoke him? In this Mangshan Ridge, it’s dangerous enough; isn’t it better to have one less enemy?"

Lin Bai saw the Black-robed Man on the treetop, whose Eyes were cold, yet Lin Bai never felt a trace of killing intent from him.

After practicing Slaughter Comprehension, Lin Bai had a strong perception of all killing intents within Thousands of miles around, and he could clearly detect even the slightest trace of it.

For instance, on this Spirit Boat, Lin Bai continuously felt a strong killing intent from Gao Rui towards him!

"This..." Housekeeper Zhuo Yi also seemed surprised; looking at the Black-robed Man in the giant tree canopy, his face showed a hint of hesitancy, wondering if this man truly didn’t come to plunder the treasures from the Silver Moon Commerce Association’s Spirit Boat. Making a sudden move now would undoubtedly create another enemy.

At that moment, a cold female voice came from the third floor of the Spirit Boat: "Housekeeper, we are a Chamber of Commerce, not mercenaries. Since he hasn’t struck against us, there’s no reason for us to make an enemy."

"The Spirit Boat continues forward, all guardians stay vigilant, do not confront the evil people in Mangshan Ridge unless absolutely necessary."

From the third floor of the Spirit Boat, this cold voice came.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, upon hearing this, turned back towards the third floor to bow respectfully and said, "Yes."

"Stay alert, do not act recklessly."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi immediately arranged it.

Gao Rui said, "Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, if we do not strike, and later that person suddenly attacks, we will have lost our best opportunity."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi lightly laughed, "Gao Rui, we are a chamber of commerce, not mercenaries, fighting is not our business. Our task is to escort the treasures back to Haizhen City."

"Try not to sprout branches outside the task."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said faintly.

Gao Rui, upset, clenched his teeth and glared at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stood on the gangway, slightly looking up ahead, as the Spirit Boat slowly flew over that huge tree canopy.

And that man in black standing on the tree canopy, his gaze still ice-cold, did not speak, nor did he strike, silently watching the Spirit Boat of Silver Moon Commerce Association pass by.

The Spirit Boat crossed the tree canopy and continued forward.

Seeing that the man in black did not strike, the warriors on the Spirit Boat finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi’s tense spirit finally relaxed, smiling at Lin Bai, he said, "This young brother really wasn’t wrong, that person indeed didn’t intend to strike at us!"

Lin Bai slightly smiled, noncommittal.

Gao Rui suddenly said, "Psh, just lucky. If he guessed wrong, then we would inevitably be dragged into a battle and who knows how many would die then."

"The best method is still to strike first as the best defense is offense!"

Gao Rui didn’t think Lin Bai’s method was safe.

Having passed that dangerous area, all the guardians momentarily relaxed.

Fang Jin said: "Brother Dongfang, you’re really incredible, how did you know that the man in black wouldn’t strike?"

Lin Bai lightly laughed: "If he really planned to strike at us, then the moment he saw our Spirit Boat, he would undoubtedly emit a killing aura. Even a born assassin, who tries his best to conceal it, would show it the moment his intent to kill awakens."

"And I didn’t feel any aura of slaughter from him, perhaps he isn’t here for us at all."

Fang Jin said, "Hmm, but that’s also dangerous. If at that time we encountered a large number of bandits, we might all have ended up perishing here."

Lin Bai lightly laughed, "That wouldn’t happen."

Fang Jin curiously asked, "Why?"

Lin Bai lightly laughed, "Brother Fang Jin, didn’t you hear? The Silver Moon Commerce Association had previously encountered an ambush, with over seventy strong ones injured, yet the Spirit Boat of Silver Moon Commerce Association still returned to Mangshan Town."

"Why is that?"

"The warriors of Silver Moon Commerce Association died defending the Spirit Boat’s return? Obviously not."

Lin Bai said, smiling lightly.

Fang Jin, puzzled, looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Brother Dongfang, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Bai, smiling lightly, looking towards the third floor of the Spirit Boat, said, "The woman who spoke earlier is a strong one in the Yangshen Realm!"

"What! There’s a Yangshen Realm strong one on the Spirit Boat!" Fang Jin gaped as he looked towards the third floor.
