Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Oblivious to Danger

"Look, that’s Shenwu Continent!"

"Have you noticed? The mountains and trees of Shenwu Continent are much taller and sturdier than in other regions!"

"Of course, the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy here is several times purer and richer than in other areas, suitable for the growth of all things!"

"Bathing in this kind of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy all year round, if it were me, my strength would also be much more formidable! No wonder Martial Artists from all over the True Martial Realm consider Shenwu Continent as a Cultivation Holy Land, flocking to it eagerly."

"Haha, even though we haven’t landed yet, I’ve already fallen in love with this place!"

"That’s right, coming here was really the right decision!"

...

A thousand Martial Artists gathered on the deck of the sea vessel, gazing at the boundless coastline miles away, feeling the thick Essence Energy surrounding them and feeling indescribably refreshing. Unable to contain their excitement, many Martial Artists couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

More than half of the Martial Artists cheered, with the majority being Vast Level Martial Artists, and no one tried to control their volume deliberately. Thus, waves of voices infused with Essence Energy spread out in all directions, causing the sea within several tens of yards around the ship to boil and surge as if it was on fire.

A flock of sea birds flying by not far away were startled by the huge sound waves. They cried out in distress and scattered in all directions, causing laughter among the Martial Artists on the ship.

"Careful! There’s a fierce bird attacking!"

Just as the Martial Artists were pointing and laughing uproariously at the flock of sea birds, one of the Martial Artists happened to look up at the sky and his face drastically changed as he exclaimed in alarm.

Hearing this, the other Martial Artists looked up reflexively and saw a gigantic strange bird with wings spanning several yards wide, diving down from a patch of white clouds in the high sky, tracing a dazzling streak of silver light like a meteor falling, pouncing towards the Martial Artists on the deck of the ship.

"It’s a Silverwing Hawk!"

"It must have been enraged by our laughter!"

Some well-informed Martial Artists shouted out, with a sense of panic in their hearts.

The Silverwing Hawk is a fierce bird unique to the Shenwu Continent, named for its silver wings, living in the forests near the sea and feeding on fish and shrimp from the sea, occasionally attacking human Martial Artists.

The Silverwing Hawk is a natural-born expert. From birth, its attack power is comparable to that of a human Vast Level Martial Artist, and an adult Silverwing Hawk is so fierce that even a Cosmic Level Expert at perfection has to give way to it.

The greatest strength of the Silverwing Hawk lies in having both wind and water attributes, being able to absorb Wind Essence Qi and Water Element Qi for its own use.

With these two abilities, the Silverwing Hawk can traverse through both sky and sea effortlessly.

When the Silverwing Hawk flies, it’s faster than a Wind System Martial Artist; while swimming in the sea, it can leave swimming fish far behind.

Fortunately, although the Silverwing Hawk is formidable, it does not like to live in groups and always acts alone; otherwise, the threat it poses to human Martial Artists would be greatly increased.

The adult Silverwing Hawk diving down from the clouds overhead, although already possessing an attack power comparable to a Cosmic Level Expert at perfection, the experienced Martial Artists, despite feeling panic, did not think of fleeing in terror.

After all, there were nearly a thousand Martial Artists on the ship and their combined attack power was not to be underestimated. The powerful Silverwing Hawk would not dare to dive too low to attack the Martial Artists on the ship, or it would most certainly bite off more than it could chew.

Indeed, the Silverwing Hawk halted its form above the ship at a height of ten-odd zhang and circled in the air, seemingly wary of the gathering of over a thousand Martial Artists on the deck.

The Martial Artists on the ship, who were originally panicked and uneasy, grew bolder upon seeing this, pointing and laughing at the Silverwing Hawk above their heads, even tossing Essence Stones in an attempt to drive the hawk away.

By this time, the ship was gradually nearing the harbor, and those with good eyesight could see vague figures in the glow of the setting sun near the port.

"Whose ship is that? Those scoundrels on board dare to provoke my little hawk; they really have a death wish!"

Standing at the port, a black-robed elder with a sharp eagle nose and a thin body like a bamboo pole looked sickly and appeared as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

However, if anyone believed the black-robed elder to be weak and incapable, they would be gravely mistaken, for he was none other than Ying Guangping, Steward Ying, one of the eight Stewards of Tianji Sect from Shenwu Continent, possessing initial-stage Universe Level strength.

Shenwu Continent is vast and boundless, with thousands upon thousands of Sects big and small, and there are as many as a hundred first-rate Sects among them. Tianji Sect, being one of the first-rate Sects, has disciples numbering in the tens of thousands and controls a territory of ten thousand li. This port falls under their control, bringing in a vast amount of Cultivation Resources for the Sect every year.

Steward Ying Guangping is dispatched by Tianji Sect specifically to manage this port.

The disciples stationed at this port by Tianji Sect, including Ying Guangping, total only over a hundred people. Though not many in number, they are a force respected and feared by Martial Artists from various regions who come to Shenwu Continent for their Cultivation journey.

Ying Guangping himself is an Universe Level Expert, and the weakest among the other hundred or so Tianji Sect Disciples is of the initial Cosmic Level; such a force is already enough to easily crush any second-rate Sect.

Therefore, Martial Artists coming from all over the True Martial Realm to this port act cautiously and humbly, keeping their tails between their legs and not daring to provoke the Disciples of Tianji Sect to avoid potential disaster.

The Tianji Sect disciples stationed at this port are exceedingly greedy; overtly, they would not attack the Martial Artists coming from various parts of the True Martial Realm, to avoid scaring others away but would engage in numerous instances of coercion and extortion behind the scenes.

Over the years, every Tianji Sect disciple stationed at this port has amassed a staggering amount of Cultivation Resources.

And those Martial Artists robbed of their Cultivation Resources are mostly killed to silence them, and the very few who are lucky enough not to die are threatened by the Tianji Sect disciples, too angry yet too afraid to speak out.

"Those Martial Artists on the ship are indeed lawless! Steward Ying, how about we wait for the ship to dock and then double their berthing fees as a penalty, what do you think?"

A Tianji Sect disciple stood beside Ying Guangping, sycophantically suggesting to him.

Ying Guangping’s face darkened as he coldly said, "My little hawk was first frightened by them, then attacked. Doubling the penalty is too lenient, it should be tripled!"

The Silverwing Hawk was a bird trained by Ying Guangping, released today to soar in the sky. Unexpectedly, it was disturbed by the Martial Artists on the ship and even attacked with Essence Stones, which greatly infuriated Ying Guangping.

"Right, triple the penalty! Let them witness the might of our Tianji Sect!"

The Tianji Sect disciple nodded repeatedly, agreeing vehemently.

"Also, if you find any Female Martial Artists with good looks and potential on the ship, remember to let me know!"

Ying Guangping murmured another reminder to the Tianji Sect disciple, then pursed his lips and let out a sharp whistle, calling the Silverwing Hawk back to him.

"Understood."

The Tianji Sect disciple knew that this Steward Ying liked to cultivate together with Female Martial Artists of good appearance and talent; over the years, countless Female Martial Artists had suffered under him. He chuckled with a knowing "I understand" expression and turned to signal a group of Tianji Sect Disciples to stand guard at the port, waiting for the ship to dock.
