Chapter 1342: What a Fateful Encounter
Qin Tian scrutinized Bai Xiyue, feeling the killing intent emanating from her up close, a raw and unprocessed killing intent.
This woman has killed quite a few.
This was Qin Tian's assessment of Bai Xiyue.
With just Xue Yao alone, Qin Tian couldn't handle it. If you add this woman brimming with killing intent, Qin Tian would definitely be overwhelmed.
So, after some thought, Qin Tian feigned reluctance and said, "Alright, since you put it that way, if I don't agree, I'll seem petty. Haha, ladies, see you later."
Qin Tian took the storage bag from Xue Yao and left without lingering.
Bai Xiyue, who had not spoken, stared at Qin Tian, eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"What's wrong, Sister Yue? Are you mesmerized by him? You didn't even blink."
Xue Yao waved her hand in front of Bai Xiyue's eyes.
Bai Xiyue whispered, "Is he just a regular person? Why do I feel a familiar presence emanating from him... This feeling... I've encountered it before... Strange..."
"Oh, come on, it's not a big deal. Let's find some handsome guys to play with."
...
Qin Tian emerged from the forest, strolled around East Sea City for a while, and then checked into the most luxurious East Sea Inn in the city.
The East Sea Inn resembled a super luxurious palace, with over ten thousand guest rooms. Upon checking in, Qin Tian felt a classical and antique atmosphere.
He slept soundly in the inn, planning to explore East Sea City more the next day before heading to Ghost Island.
But early the next morning, when Qin Tian went to the lobby for breakfast, he was stunned—
Xue Yao and Bai Xiyue were there too!
They were staying at the same inn as Qin Tian!
Last night, it was too dark; Qin Tian hadn't clearly seen Bai Xiyue's appearance. Now, he finally saw her clearly.
Bai Xiyue was dressed in white, her long hair tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were large; although not very beautiful, she exuded an unconventional heroine aura.
Recalling the killing intent he felt from her last night, Qin Tian immediately concluded that this woman was definitely not easy to deal with.
"Ah, it's you! Having breakfast? Come, come, come, join us!"
Seeing Qin Tian, Xue Yao actively greeted him.
However, Bai Xiyue sat cautiously at her seat without responding to Qin Tian.
"No, no. I can't eat when dining with beautiful women. You enjoy your meal."
Having classified these two women as people not to mess with, Qin Tian didn't want to have any further interaction. He bought some dry rations, paid his bill, and walked out of East Sea City.
"I'll leave a day early, avoiding them. Both women seem like trouble, especially the one in white. Ugh... Intense killing intent. I'd better not associate with them."
Qin Tian decided to head to Ghost Island a day earlier. His instincts told him that this adventure wouldn't be peaceful.
He traveled east out of East Sea City, boarded a ship at East Sea Port heading to Ghost Island.
Rumors spread about meteorites landing on Ghost Island, creating several large craters. Masters from various sects calculated that strange treasures accompanied the meteorites, prompting a rush to Ghost Island by numerous sects and forces.
Consequently, there were many ships departing East Sea Port for Ghost Island, along with many passengers.
"Wow, the island is quite large, with trees and cliffs... Not peaceful."
Setting foot on Ghost Island, Qin Tian breathed deeply, facing the majestic island and the cultivators and swordsmen with various swords and sabers coming and going, preparing himself for any upcoming challenges.
He knew this place wasn't like his past adventures in tropical jungles and deserts. Here, confrontations were between people, and all were experts. A slight lapse could lead to death!
The large influx of people to Ghost Island also stimulated small vendors to set up makeshift inns and wine stalls for rest.
Qin Tian sat at a wine stall under a hillside, planning to rest and have lunch there.
Just as he ordered wine from the waiter and hadn't yet drank, he heard a familiar voice, "Two bowls of wine, two thousand beef, the best quality."
Turning his head, Qin Tian saw Xue Yao and Bai Xiyue sitting nearby, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Damn, these women just won't go away! Why do they follow wherever I go!
"Ah, it's you again? Qin Tian?"
Spotting them, Xue Yao got excited and suggested, "Come join us for food and drink. Since we're on Ghost Island together, we must be friends."
"No, you eat slowly. I'm just resting for a bit and leaving soon."
Qin Tian sighed deeply, glancing at Bai Xiyue to see her cautiously silent, holding chopsticks, not even glancing at him.
"Ha, this woman, so strange. Always looking like she's about to kill someone?"
Qin Tian murmured to himself, observing Bai Xiyue.
But he suddenly noticed Bai Xiyue was discreetly scanning their surroundings with a vigilant expression.
Getting alert, Qin Tian surveyed the area—
Within the wine stall, near their table, two other tables of eight people quietly drank wine and ate meat!
These eight wielded weapons placed on their table. Some occasionally glanced at Bai Xiyue, their tracking eyes glaringly obvious!
Someone was targeting these two women. Qin Tian was certain and didn't dare to speak.
"Waiter, hurry up with the wine. I need to leave."
Qin Tian urged the waiter, wanting to quickly drink the wine and get out because the threat wasn't directed at him.
The waiter, a chubby bald fellow, sneered, turning to Bai Xiyue, "Didn't expect you to notice! Bai Xiyue, you killed my Golden Saber Sect senior brother, second brother, and third brother. Now, I'm here for revenge!"
The bald man shouted, "Surround them, don't let any escape!"
The two adjacent tables picked up their weapons, channeling True Qi to form beams of suppressive power, enclosing Qin Tian and the two women!
Simultaneously, nine people formed a formation, encircling Bai Xiyue, Xue Yao, and Qin Tian at the center!
