A deep, resonant voice emanated from the palace. This voice, though deep, carried a seductive quality, a feeling that compelled submission.
Beckenbauer stood up, straightened his clothes, and then walked into the palace with his head bowed.
The palace was pitch black! You couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
When Beckenbauer was young and succeeded to the throne of the Viking Empire, he had visited this palace. Therefore, he knew the situation inside. He was not surprised. Instead, he closed his eyes and walked straight ahead along the straight path.
He counted in his mind... "5 steps... 15 steps... 28 steps... 56 steps... Done!"
He walked straight along a straight line for 56 steps, then stopped and knelt down again.
The palace was already so dark, but in the darkness, you could vaguely see something glittering... those were eyes!
The faint breathing sounds suggested the presence of other humans within the palace.
“Beckenbauer?” A deep voice spoke directly. “We have an agreement with you Vikings. We are only responsible for teaching you Viking physical training and beast taming skills. Normally, we live in seclusion, and you cannot disturb our people’s seclusion unless there is an event that threatens the survival of the Viking Empire. As for Beckenbauer, we already taught you physical training and beast taming skills when you became Viking king, so that you could then pass them on to your people… So what brings you here today? Is the Viking Empire about to perish? Uh… you seemed to have mentioned earlier that some inexplicable phenomena have occurred within the empire…”
The voice was a man's, spoken at a measured pace, in English, giving one a sense of complete admiration.
"Revered God...please...please hear me..." Then, Beckenbauer, like a wronged young wife, ran back to her parents' home to complain, recounting the entire incident in detail...
Scholes discovered that there were people outside who could tame beasts and hide wild animals in special spaces, releasing them suddenly during battle;
Then there's Gao Jianfei's martial prowess;
Then, the treasure that would have required 100 large ships to contain in his treasury vanished without a trace.
...
The whole process was extremely lengthy to recount; Beckenbauer embellished the story and spent a full hour explaining it clearly.
Then, there was silence.
Those unseen figures in the palace, hidden in the darkness, fell silent, as if deep in thought.
A full five minutes later, the previously deep voice finally spoke, "Beckenbauer, you said you've dispatched tens of thousands of troops to pursue those people?"
“Yes, we’ve deployed six strong warriors and their pets,” Beckenbauer replied. “Those guys are only a few hundred strong, and our wooden boats are all manpower-driven, relying mainly on wind power. I believe my fleet can find them.”
“Well, we’ve also become very interested in those people with amazing skills that you mentioned. However, it’s not convenient for us to leave this island. Our lives are secluded. So, once you’ve captured them, please remember to bring them over so we can have a look…” the deep voice said to Beckenbauer.
“But, revered God…” Beckenbauer quickly said.
"Alright, that's enough. If you're sure you can't catch those people..." The deep voice seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before making a decision, "Then you can come back to us..."
“Yes! Yes! Your Majesty!” Beckenbauer replied hastily. Then, he slowly withdrew from the palace.
Emerging from the palace, Beckenbauer was drenched in sweat. To be honest, he had been so tense facing those "gods" that he almost suffocated! If it weren't for the fact that Gao Jianfei and his group were so difficult and strange, Beckenbauer would have preferred to forget this island and those gods for the rest of his life…
…… …… ……
Let's talk about Gao Jianfei next.
He and his boat drifted endlessly on the icy, branching river.
Every time they chose a fork in the road, Gao Jianfei would have Mario and Blank record it in detail so that they could find the correct path to return to and avoid getting lost.
We've been drifting for 17 days! Okay, there's no danger on the side of the glacier, no monsters like those in suspense novels, and the weather is as good as ever.
As for food, some waters have shrimp, crabs and fish, while others do not. Under Gao Jianfei's orders, the sailors would deliberately collect aquatic products and stockpile them after each section of the journey, which meant that Gao Jianfei and his men did not have to worry about food.
However, such a seemingly aimless voyage can be quite tedious.
Furthermore, sailing on the wrong, repeatedly wrong routes meant that Gao Jianfei and his men didn't have to worry about being caught by pursuers. Mentally, although it was boring and tedious, they weren't nervous about the upcoming battle.
“It’s been more than ten days! We’ve been drifting for more than ten days, with no land, no islands… Jianfei, when are we going to stop drifting?” Zheng Cuiyun asked, lying on the deck with her legs spread apart in a very unladylike posture, chewing on a piece of chocolate she had gotten from Gao Jianfei.
The other women also glanced at Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei, however, seemed somewhat distracted. He appeared to have something on his mind, and his expression was not good. He did not answer Zheng Cuiyun's question immediately.
Young woman Li Yun rolled her eyes at Zheng Cuiyun, "Cuiyun, don't talk too much. Jianfei has his own ideas about what to do next."
"Oh..." Gao Jianfei said vaguely, "Right now, we don't need to worry too much about the Vikings chasing us. What we need is a piece of land to use as a place to set up camp and rest. In short, once we find land, we'll all stay there for the time being. Then, I'll return to the Viking Kingdom alone and teach them a lesson. Only after I've destroyed those damned savages can we all return to modern society in peace."
After saying that, Gao Jianfei frowned again.
He was not feeling well.
Of course, this does not mean that Gao Jianfei's current internal strength would be troubled by minor ailments such as colds and fevers; he has never had any physical illnesses.
His discomfort was... a lingering effect of the Seven Injury Fist!
The Seven Injury Fist, once practiced, will cause seven injuries, all seven will be injured. Gao Jianfei learned the Seven Injury Fist from Xie Xun, and it will have aftereffects!
It's important to understand that Gao Jianfei learned his martial arts from Xie Xun, and the skill he acquired was on par with Xie Xun's. Even with Xie Xun's formidable abilities, he was driven mad by the Seven Injury Fist and went on a killing spree.
Gao Jianfei initially learned the Seven Injury Fist and found it incredibly powerful, without experiencing any physical discomfort. In fact, it seemed to have absolutely no negative effects. Therefore, Gao Jianfei temporarily ignored some of these issues. However, as time went on, Gao Jianfei began to feel something...
My internal organs feel a bit uncomfortable!
Sometimes, it feels like my brain is lacking oxygen, and my vision gets blurry!
Gao Jianfei was proficient in medicine and was also a martial arts master, so he was naturally able to understand his current situation.
Gao Jianfei touched his forehead, walked directly to the railing, leaned on it, and looked out into the distance, his eyes starting to blur.
The young woman, Li Yun, had a good foundation in martial arts. She noticed something was wrong and went directly to Gao Jianfei's side, asking with concern, "Jianfei, what's wrong with you?"
"I..." After a brief moment of dizziness, Gao Jianfei returned to normal. He smiled wryly and said, "Sister Li Yun, I won't lie to you. I might have gone a little crazy because I forcibly practiced the Seven Injury Fist... Heh, but it's nothing. I'll find a way to solve it myself."
At this moment, Gao Jianfei's gaze swept over Li Yun. Today, Li Yun was wearing a down jacket and a pair of tight-fitting jeans. These clothes were ones Gao Jianfei had casually bought and hoarded in the Ghost Den, so their sizes weren't very precise.
The jeans Li Yun was wearing were a bit too small, thus perfectly outlining the curves of her lower body.
***'s beautiful buttocks; long and elastic legs; and even the mysterious triangle area is outlined.
Li Yun wore light makeup, her fair skin and the charming features of a young married woman were very attractive.
Suddenly, a thought that even he himself couldn't believe popped into Gao Jianfei's mind... "This young woman is quite nice! If I could pin her down and have a good time with her, how amazing would that be?"
"Damn it! What's wrong with me! Am I crazy?" Gao Jianfei quickly shook his head, trying to shake off this crazy thought.
Chapter 520 Discovery of a New World
Chapter 520 Discovery of the Continent
Standing on the deck, Gao Jianfei's internal energy was somewhat disordered, a negative consequence of forcefully practicing the Seven Injury Fist. To put it bluntly, he had suffered a qi deviation, albeit not too severe. However, if this continued, Gao Jianfei would definitely descend into madness!
Looking at Li Yun's beautiful young woman's figure, with her prominent breasts and shapely buttocks, especially her full and alluring buttocks, Gao Jianfei really had an urge to reach out and rub and pat them a few times.
In all honesty, Gao Jianfei never had such despicable thoughts. He had considered taking advantage of Li Yun, Zheng Cuiyun, and other women from Emei to protect his secret, but those were just vague ideas; he hadn't put them into practice. He never actually considered physically contacting these women in that way.
Suddenly, this wicked thought arose in his mind, and it became somewhat uncontrollable. As a result, Gao Jianfei's gaze began to change, becoming slightly lewd, and his eyes lingered on Li Yun's beautiful buttocks for a considerable period of time.
Who is Li Yun? She's a young woman with several years of experience with men and women. From Gao Jianfei's gaze, she could read the expression on a man's face, which was full of ambition and lust!
Seeing Gao Jianfei staring at her beautiful buttocks, Li Yun felt a surge of excitement. Two alluring blushes appeared on her pretty face, making her look incredibly charming.
Her breath was sweet as orchids, and she softly murmured, "Jianfei, you... you seem very strange today." As she spoke, something deep within her, something primal, seemed to be stirred, causing a tingling sensation throughout her body.
"Damn it, this is definitely a sign of qi deviation. It's turning me into a lecherous demon!" Gao Jianfei lamented inwardly. He quickly averted his gaze and circulated his internal energy rapidly before his condition improved slightly.
"Sister Li Yun, I'm fine." Gao Jianfei smiled faintly, then deliberately avoided Li Yun and instructed Blank and Mario, "Everyone, hurry up and row the boat. Once you find land or an island, notify me immediately. Also, the work of stockpiling fish and shrimp should be started at any time. I'm going to go into the cabin to rest for a bit."
After saying that, Gao Jianfei walked directly towards the cabin.
In the simple cabin, Gao Jianfei sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, circulating his true qi through his body for several cycles before his body returned to normal.
"Damn! I've gone mad! I've really gone mad!" Gao Jianfei was still somewhat terrified. Although the symptoms of going mad were relatively mild—merely feeling lustful thoughts towards the women around him—that wasn't a big deal; even becoming a lustful demon wouldn't be fatal. What was fatal was that this madness would definitely worsen! Eventually, Gao Jianfei would surely develop symptoms of madness like Xie Xun! That was the truly terrifying thing!
"I'm speechless!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed, dumbfounded. "Does this mean I'm going to become a murderous demon like Xie Xun... and kill everyone on this ship? No way!"
Gao Jianfei shook his head vigorously. "Of course, I'm not entirely without a solution to this problem, but I need some time..."
To resolve the aftereffects of the Seven Injury Fist, the solution is actually quite simple... simply increase your internal energy in a short period of time!
Perhaps, for all martial artists in this world, or even in ancient times, rapidly increasing internal energy is unrealistic, unless one finds a legendary rare treasure. However, for Gao Jianfei, this is unnecessary… He only needs a level 5 ghost, a level stronger than Xie Xun, to learn its internal energy and martial arts. At times, a level 5 ghost, particularly effective in cultivating internal energy, is essential.
The problem will be solved!
However, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points have only been restored to 17. When he fought Xie Xun, it took 15 exorcism points.
In other words, with Gao Jianfei's current 17 Ghost Exorcism Points, he can only produce a level 5 Ghost that is slightly stronger than Xie Xun's in terms of martial arts!
This won't work!
Even Xie Xun couldn't resist the aftereffects of the Seven Injury Fist. How could a level 5 ghost, who was slightly stronger than him, possibly resist it?
Gao Jianfei didn't dare to spend 17 exorcism points to do it, nor did he dare to spend half a month waiting for this ghost that couldn't completely solve his problem!
What should we do now?
Gao Jianfei estimated that he would need at least a level 5 ghost worth about 30 exorcism points, which meant a level 5 ghost that was more than twice as strong as Xie Xun's, in order to ensure that the aftereffects of the Seven Injury Fist could be cured!
"Phew, I have to start saving up exorcism points! There's no other way!" Gao Jianfei thought bitterly. He could have accumulated some exorcism points after piecing together Xie Xun, but he hadn't paid attention and spent them all. Of course, every point spent had a purpose, such as possessing a polar bear to steal treasure; or exchanging for weapons to better seize ships for escape… But now, Gao Jianfei desperately needed exorcism points!
There's no other way, and no room for regret; we can only wait!
It takes more than a month to accumulate exorcism points and ghosts, and then wait to piece together the ghosts. Gao Jianfei's only hope is that during this month, the symptoms of going into demonic possession will not get worse.
Gao Jianfei considered that if all else failed, he would sneak into the haunted house; he absolutely could not kill people indiscriminately on the ship.
And so, Gao Jianfei and his fleet drifted along the intricate glacial waters, searching for land. At first, the ships moved relatively quickly thanks to the wind and the sailors' tireless rowing. However, later on, the sailors became extremely exhausted. This was partly due to the significant physical exertion, and partly because the constant rocking and swaying on the water prevented them from experiencing the solid grounding of landing. Consequently, the rowing became less effective, and the wind sometimes blew against them, causing the ships to slow down considerably.
Ten days later, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points had recovered to 27. He was just 3 points short of his original plan to exorcise a level 5 ghost. However, his demonic possession was getting worse and worse!
He didn't exhibit any violent tendencies like madness or murder, but he became increasingly unruly when facing beauties like Li Yun and Zheng Cuiyun.
Sometimes, he would even lightly touch a woman's hair; on one outrageous occasion, he patted Zheng Cuiyun's shapely buttocks and gently kneaded Nie Xiaoxia's breasts...
These were not Gao Jianfei's original intentions, but emotionally, he really couldn't control himself.
Fortunately, the women had already entrusted themselves to Gao Jianfei, completely dependent on and infatuated with him. Not only young girls like Zheng Cuiyun and Nie Xiaoxia, but even married women like Li Yun secretly harbored feelings for him. Therefore, even when Gao Jianfei took liberties with them, they were not angry, but rather relished it.
Song Ying's situation is worse.
Gao Jianfei now wants her several times every night! Ever since he went astray in his cultivation, Gao Jianfei's desire in certain areas has increased several times over compared to normal!
Song Ying was just a woman with average physical strength. How could she possibly withstand the torment of a martial arts master like Gao Jianfei?
In just over ten days, she had been intimate with Gao Jianfei more than 60 times!
Although she loved Gao Jianfei very much, she couldn't hold back!
In some places, it was already red and swollen.
Gao Jianfei also felt guilty and remorseful. In truth, he had already taken great care of Song Ying. You see, if he hadn't frequently gone to the Ghost Den to seek help from Mu Wanqing, Song Ying would have endured far more hardship!
