Chapter 1311: Chapter 1283: Esoteric Sect, Holy Stele

These two pirates, one Eastern and one Western, were nicknamed Octopus and Black Shark respectively.

Seeing Ye Guichen speak Mandarin, the Westerner, in an attempt to flatter Ye Guichen, struggled to speak Mandarin too.

When they saw Ye Guichen intended to go to that Nameless Island, their faces turned pale as if it were hell itself.

Ye Guichen noticed they knew of this place and asked, "Why, are you familiar with this place?"

"Very familiar," Octopus replied, "Immortal, this place is located in the center of the Bermuda Triangle. Over the years, the number of missing ships is no less than a hundred. Once inside, no one comes out alive. Moreover, just recently, a plane flew overhead and suddenly disappeared, as if swallowed by something. Immortal, your mana is powerful, but we dare not go there."

The Westerner nicknamed Black Shark stammered, "Yes, yes, yes, just three months ago, we encountered a storm and accidentally went thirty miles away from that place. Luckily, we noticed in time, or we’d all be dead now. At the time, we saw with our own eyes a massive cruise ship appear there like a ghost, and the ship was brightly lit. With binoculars, we saw it was actually the cruise ship that had disappeared a hundred years ago."

"Over a hundred years, how could there still be electricity? How could it be brightly lit? Not only that, there wasn’t a single human shadow on the ship, but we all saw it. That was, it was not a ship for living people, but a ghost ship."

The more they spoke, the more frightened they became, eventually breaking out in a cold sweat.

If this were in the past, Ye Guichen probably wouldn’t dare go near either.

However, the more they spoke like this, the more interested Ye Guichen became.

If the guesses are correct, all of this should be caused by the Array of the Esoteric Sect.

"Let’s go. If you don’t want to go, then I’ll have to throw you overboard to feed the fish," Ye Guichen smiled faintly, showing a harmless smile, which appeared as a devil’s smile in their eyes.

The two shivered, but recalling Ye Guichen’s scene of controlling the sword to kill their companions with bare hands, they knew they had no room for resistance, so they nodded and continued sailing.

For the next two days, under Ye Guichen’s coercion, the two pirates drifted across the sea heading towards the Esoteric Sect’s location.

At noon on the third day, when they were about thirty miles from the location, the weather suddenly turned gloomy, and a storm arose.

The two pirates were so terrified they turned the boat around to try to escape.

Ye Guichen directly operated the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique, wrapping the entire boat in vines, and even extended them greatly to block the storm’s attack.

Witnessing this scene, the pirate duo was completely stunned.

Such unpredictable ghostly methods, what else if not an Immortal?

"Immortal, truly an Immortal!"

The two exchanged glances, then knelt down and bowed to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen ignored them, simply saying, "Continue moving forward."

They dared not delay, only continuing to advance.

The closer they got to the Esoteric Sect’s location, the stronger the storm grew; ordinary ships simply couldn’t withstand such a massive storm.

But under Ye Guichen’s powerful protection, the storm’s damage to the pirate ship was minimized.

Almost a whole day passed with the entire ship feeling like a leaf drifting on the sea, while the two pirates’ hearts remained in suspense.

Suddenly, as if a switch was flipped, the storm stopped abruptly.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining upon the ship.

Calm seas.

Nearby, an island appeared.

The island was surrounded by a layer of faint white clouds, like being in an Immortal Realm.

"This, could it be an Immortal Mountain?" the two pirates were amazed, eyes wide, surviving the disaster with immense joy.

Perhaps, they were the only two living people to have entered this region in years?

Ye Guichen was slightly moved upon seeing the island.

Though the island didn’t appear large, it gave the feeling of an Immortal Palace.

From the sea, the island looked like a giant turtle, with the highest point of the turtle having a Stele about 100 yards high standing tall.

The material of the Stele was unknown, but besides being crystal clear, it faintly emitted light.

If the guesses are correct, that Stele should be the Holy Stele that Long Yuntai mentioned earlier.

There are recorded the Esoteric Sect’s one hundred and eight techniques on the inscriptions.

"You may leave if you wish or stay here and wait for me if you prefer. There might be danger on the island, there’s no need for you to go ashore," Ye Guichen said to the two pirates after staring at the island for a while.

The two pirates originally wanted to see where the Immortal lived on the island.

In their view, Ye Guichen had always wanted to come here; perhaps this was his home.

And since Ye Guichen was an Immortal, naturally this was an Immortal Island.

However, hearing Ye Guichen say this, they dared not delay: "We’ll wait here for the Immortal."

Both have now clearly seen that their opposition was futile; if Ye Guichen were angered, he could easily crush the two of them with a flick of a finger.

Hence, they could only obediently comply.
