The Ace Bodyguard

Wang Xiao and the others stood deep in the mountains, blowing on the cool night wind as they watched the sea fall into the dusk. Before long, the sky was dark, and it was fortunate that there was moonlight. As a result, tonight's night sky was not as dark as ink, and the vague outline of the mountain range could be seen.    

    

After taking out the dry food, Wang Xiao and the other three sat crossed-legged and munched on the beef and steamed buns in big bites. They did not dare raise the fire, nor did they dare shout out loud for fear of being found out, so they could only eat the hard and cold food. In a foreign land, everyone cherished the people around them.    

    

Because they were in a foreign land with almost no family, everyone treasured their close friends, not to mention those who had experienced countless life and death situations together. Only when they were close friends who had experienced countless life and death situations together could their friendship be the deepest and purest.    

    

For example, many of their comrades had once fought in a war of sorts, and so on. After many years, these people would also think of all sorts of ways to have a gathering of their comrades. Even after many years of separation, their friendship had not changed at all.    

    

Before he came to the island, he had dreamed of eating delicacies, eating island food, drinking island wine, and carrying the women of the island. However, after arriving here, he could only hide deep in the mountains, gnawing on steamed buns and eating dried beef in the middle of the night.    

    

After eating his fill, Wang Xiao said: "Go rest, there will be a battle tomorrow."    

    

"Alright." Di Loong nodded, then sat down on a rock under a big tree and closed his eyes to rest.    

    

Hamed also sat on a rock and closed his eyes to rest. Cultivators were different from ordinary people, they only needed to meditate and rest.    

    

"Brother Xiao, we won't fight. Let's flee tomorrow, if that's the case, what's the point of us coming to the island countries?" the kid asked.    

    

Wang Xiao said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you get your wish."    

    

"Really." The kid didn't believe it.    

    

"When have I ever lied to you?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

"That's true." The little ghost said seriously.    

    

"As long as you listen to my arrangements, after this matter is settled, you can find any kind of island beauty you want." Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

Thinking about being able to find the beautiful ladies of the island nation, the little demon excitedly promised Wang Xiao: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely listen to your arrangements. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do.    

    

Even if he succeeded in snatching the Profound-sea Stone from the island tomorrow and killed some Qianqiu Sect and other experts, Wang Xiao would not immediately return. Instead, he would have to lurk in the island for a few days, because the Qianqiu Sect and its people would definitely think that they would return immediately, and thus send a large number of ships to the surface of the sea.    

    

After this was done, he could only stay in seclusion in the island for a period of time before returning to his home country.    

    

Wang Xiao also started to close his eyes to rest. The experts of Qianqiu Sect and Tokugawa Family definitely would not have thought that they had already arrived here, and reached their destination in advance. Because they did not know that they had received the news in advance, they had waited here in advance.    

    

As if he had forgotten about something, Wang Xiao stood up and sprinkled some medicinal powder around. These medicinal powder were equivalent to yellow in color and had a very heavy aura, so they could be used to guard against insects and snakes. Normally, there would be poisonous snakes deep in the mountains by the sea because it was moist and very close to the sea.    

    

The most venomous snake in the world was not the King Cobra, nor was it aware of the Black Mamba Snake, but a kind of sea snake. It was said that the venom of this kind of sea snake was more than ten times stronger than that of the king cobra's. After everything was settled, Wang Xiao returned to his original position and closed his eyes to rest.    

    

His Mental Power was always spread out to prevent accidents.    

    

The night by the sea was somewhat cold. Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator, so their ability to resist the cold was very strong. Early in the morning, a confused mist appeared on the seaside. The white mist covered the sky and covered the sun. No matter whether it was the sea or the mountain range, everything seemed to have disappeared.    

    

As far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was fog. In front of him, through the hazy fog, he could only hear someone speaking. It was just that these people's voices were very unfamiliar, but since they had come here, they must be the Qianqiu Sect's Great Clan Elder and others, as well as people from the Tokugawa Family.    

    

A voice sounded. "Your Sea-dragon Beast have been searching for Profound-sea Stone in this area for a few years. Can you really find them?"    

    

This person should be someone from the Qianqiu Sect.    

    

Another man said, "Rest assured, we'll definitely find it."    

    

The last person to speak was definitely someone from Tokugawa Family, or in other words, People of Island Country. Although the other party was speaking Chinese, Island Nation's accent was very heavy, and wasn't as fluent as the man from before when he spoke Chinese.    

    

"We are in a hurry to use the Profound-sea Stone. Please get this treasure within the shortest time possible." The man who spoke previously said in a serious tone.    

    

"Do your best, but can you fulfill the promise your Qianqiu Sect made to me?" The People of Island Country asked.    

    

As the mist was very thick, only people could be heard, but he was unable to see the other party. Wang Xiao did not dare to use his Mental Power because among these people, at least two of them were experts of Qi Master Stage.    

    

The expert from Qianqiu Sect said: "As long as we obtain the Profound-sea Stone, we will definitely try our best to deal with it."    

    

"If it wasn't for that matter, how would our Tokugawa Family give the Profound-sea Stone to you? This is a treasure that we had to search for several years for information on." The expert from Tokugawa Family said.    

    

So it turned out that when Qianqiu Sect came to the island to look for Tokugawa Family, they also needed to pay a price for the Profound-sea Stone. After all, this kind of treasure was difficult to measure with money. Furthermore, in order to search for the Profound-sea Stone, he had already spent a few years here, so of course he wouldn't gift it to the Qianqiu Sect for no reason.    

    

"Brother Xiao, they are here." The kid was serious.    

    

"I know." Wang Xiao said in a low voice.    

    

Di Loong said worriedly: "This fog is too big, we can't even see them. Even if they really left with the Profound-sea Stone, we don't know."    

    

This was indeed tricky. The fog was so thick. Even if they obtained the Profound-sea Stone and took the treasure away, they wouldn't be able to see anyone from the Qianqiu Sect or the Tokugawa Family. However, this was a good thing, because they couldn't see them, nor could they see them.    

    

If there was a sneak attack, wouldn't it be more convenient?    

    

"Wait for me here, I'll go take a look." Wang Xiao thought seriously.    

    

"I'll go with you." the kid said.    

    

Di Loong also said, "I'm not going either."    

    

Hamed also said that he wanted to go with Wang Xiao, in case Wang Xiao met with danger, he could help too, and fight alongside Wang Xiao. He, who had originally wholeheartedly wanted to develop his followers for the caravan, was probably discouraged now. Maybe picking this mission was too difficult, or maybe Hamed had already given up all hope.    

    

Wang Xiao shook his head: "No, you can't follow me, the price will be too high if there's more people, and it'll be very easy to find out. I'll first take the chance to take action, then decide whether or not I should make a move."    

    

Di Loong felt that Wang Xiao's words made sense, if everyone were to go, they would definitely be discovered, since the price was too high for a large number of people, and it was very easy for something to happen. Why not let Wang Xiao go alone, since Wang Xiao was powerful and was good at following him, and even if he was discovered, if they were to fight with those people, they would immediately rush over.    

    

"Brother Xiao, be careful." the kid asked.    

    

Di Loong had also instructed Wang Xiao to be extremely careful.    

    

"Don't worry, brothers." Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

After leaving the three of them, Wang Xiao used the cover of the forest and the mist to carefully walk forward. His footsteps were light, like a leaf in the wind, and although there was mist at the moment, he could still be discovered if he was close to the people in front of him.    

    

As his deep eyes looked forward, Wang Xiao could still only hear the sound of someone talking, but he was unable to see the figure of the person in front of him. After continuing to walk for a few more steps, he finally saw a blurry figure that was about seven or eight people. It wasn't a lot, but it wasn't few either.    

    

When he could see the blurry figure in front of him, Wang Xiao became even more cautious, because he could see the blurry figure of the other party. After exiting the forest, Wang Xiao arrived at the side of the ocean and used the reef to slowly advance.    

    

Not only that, but once the reefs were very tough, there were many water chestnuts, making them relatively sharp. If one was not careful, it was very likely that one could cut their limbs. Hidden within the reef, Wang Xiao lurked as he walked forward a dozen or so steps.    

    

When he got closer to these people, he was sure that they had a total of eight people, two Qi Master Stage experts and six Innate Stage Expert s. Damn it, they truly had too many people. Once they truly attacked, they would not have absolute confidence in being able to win. However, even with that being the case, they still had to attack.    

    

Because, once the people from the Qianqiu Sect left, they would no longer have the chance to take action. As for making a move on the water surface returning back home, this was even more impossible. The sea was boundless and limitless, and those who wanted to search for Qianqiu Sect on the boundless sea surface were like fishing needles in a haystack.    

    

Wang Xiao realized that the person who spoke Chinese very fluently had a Qi as strong as the second Qianqiu Sect elder's, and might even be a little stronger. This person was around fifty years old, he was definitely the Great Clan Elder of the Qianqiu Sect. The other expert of Qi Master Stage was the People of Island Country. His strength was also very strong, not one bit inferior to the Great Clan Elder of the Qianqiu Sect.    

    

These two were not easy to deal with. Without the two Qi Master Stage experts, the remaining experts were not worth mentioning. If they wanted to deal with them, it would be as easy as eating a meal.    

    

What exactly did the Qianqiu Sect give them, that was why the other party was willing to give them such a precious Profound-sea Stone. It must be known that no matter how much effort a normal sect put forth, they would not be able to obtain the Profound-sea Stone at the same price.
