Chapter 1239: Enemies Cross Paths

Yi Feng rode slowly toward the harbor.

People continuously walked past him, heading toward the colossal ship. He watched with envy for a while. The ship bore four massive characters on its hull—*Stellar Ark*. After gazing for a long time, Yi Feng prepared to continue on his way.

The cost of one hundred million immortal crystals was simply too terrifying.

Spending so much money on a ship ride? It was better to save it for more important uses.

Just as he was about to head out to sea, a voice called out from behind.

"Brother, the *Stellar Ark* is about to depart. Please board quickly!"

Yi Feng turned around at the sound.

A plainly dressed young man stood on the ship, smiling as he looked over from a distance.

Yi Feng instinctively glanced around, but there was no one else nearby.

He was a bit confused.

"Thank you for the reminder, but I don’t have a ticket. You must have mistaken me for someone else...?"

The young man was momentarily stunned, then chuckled apologetically.

"Brother, you must be joking."

"Riding the *Stellar Ark* doesn’t require a ticket, nor does it cost anything."

What the hell?

No ticket needed? Had he almost been scammed?

He had thought the previous person was a scalper, but it turned out they were just trying to swindle him out of his money?

Yi Feng’s eyes widened!

"Are you sure nothing is required? Don’t lie to me!"

The young man had already extended his hand and stepped aside to welcome him.

"Anyone wishing to go to the Land of Fallen Gods can board the *Stellar Ark*. This is common knowledge. Please, brother, come aboard!"

His sincere and polite demeanor made Yi Feng half-believe him. He cupped his hands in gratitude.

"Alright, thank you."

As he rode onto the deck, Yi Feng still couldn’t quite believe it. Who would have thought the world of cultivation could be so treacherous? If he hadn’t been frugal, he would have been swindled out of a fortune earlier!

Who knows how many naive people had been scammed out of their hard-earned money by that fraudster.

Luckily, he had dodged a bullet.

Since Yi Feng hadn’t suffered any losses, he didn’t dwell on it.

Following the young man’s guidance, he walked up the dark wooden stairs and stepped onto the deck of the ancient ship.

The deck was bustling with people. There were countless passengers—some setting up stalls, others chatting, and some meditating in silence. The atmosphere was lively, almost like a bustling street filled with the aura of the martial world.

Yi Feng casually found an empty spot and sat down.

As countless cultivators boarded the ship, half a day later, a deep, resonant hum echoed.

The *Stellar Ark* finally set sail!

The port and the sea seemed to recede slowly, but in the blink of an eye, they were already hundreds of miles away.

The sea churned with waves, but the ancient ship stood as steady as a mountain!

Walking on the deck felt as stable as being on land. No matter how fierce the waves, the ship remained unshaken. Riding such a massive vessel, reaching the end of the world wouldn’t seem like a difficult task.

Yi Feng gazed at the distant sea, his eyes filled with anticipation.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The *Stellar Ark* sailed smoothly across the vast ocean, passing through countless rivers and islands. They even encountered some unknown, massive sea creatures. The scenery along the way was breathtaking, and the sense of wonder never ceased.

Today, the sunset was blood-red, casting a shimmering glow over the sea. The *Stellar Ark* plowed through the golden waves, and from above, it looked like a scene straight out of a painting.

Yi Feng stood on the deck, but a hint of weariness crept into his eyes.

He was starting to feel a bit of aesthetic fatigue.

Besides, time was pressing. How could he afford to spend every day admiring the scenery?

The initial excitement and novelty had faded with time.

It was like the so-called peerless beauty.

Ordinary people longed for her, but those who possessed her had long grown tired.

At this rate, how much longer would it take to reach the Land of Fallen Gods?

Yi Feng felt a bit frustrated, propping his chin on his hand as he lost himself in thought.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps approached, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Well, well, isn’t this a small world? Who would have thought we’d meet again!"

Yi Feng turned his head.

It was the fat merchant from before!

The fat man had his right hand behind his back and his left hand in front, striking the pose of a seasoned schemer. He walked over with a smug grin on his face.

Yi Feng’s expression darkened.

This damn scammer...

He had no shame after swindling people and still had the nerve to strike up a conversation?

The fat merchant stepped closer, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Haha, didn’t you say you weren’t going to board the *Stellar Ark*?"

"I thought you had some skills, planning to cross the sea on your own. Turns out you’re all talk. In the end, you still got on the ship!"

His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone on the *Stellar Ark* was no ordinary person. They didn’t need to use their spiritual senses to hear him clearly.

Gradually, curious onlookers turned their attention to the scene, their eyes filled with amusement.

It seemed everyone enjoyed a bit of conflict to spice up the long journey.

Yi Feng glanced at him coldly.

"You really have no shame, daring to talk to me."

"Keep running your mouth, and I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, more spectators gathered.

The scammer laughed heartily, his face full of arrogance!

"Throw me into the sea?"

"Hahaha..."

"You really are a clueless newcomer! Everyone knows private fights are strictly forbidden on the *Stellar Ark*. Even the most powerful figures wouldn’t dare to defy this rule!"

"All talk, huh? If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and do it! I’m here to annoy you. What are you going to do about it?"

"If you’ve got the guts... AHH!"

Before he could finish his taunt, the scammer was sent flying off the deck!

"SPLASH!"

A dull thud echoed as a figure arced through the sky.

The sea erupted with splashes as the man flailed in the water, cursing loudly.

"What the hell!?"

"You! You actually did it!"

The suddenness of the event left the onlookers stunned, their eyes wide with shock.

Yi Feng coldly looked down at the fat man struggling in the water, his expression indifferent.

"Didn’t you ask for it?"

At this point, Yi Feng wasn’t afraid of death. How could he back down from a scammer?

Originally, he had no intention of dealing with such a petty person.

But who would have thought this guy would keep provoking him, even daring to challenge him to a fight, as if the whole world had to bow to him. If he didn’t oblige, it would feel wrong.

As more and more people were drawn to the commotion, the deck filled with onlookers, pointing at the figure in the water with fear.

"What the hell?"

"Who’s the tough guy who did this?!"

"Today’s a real eye-opener. Someone actually dared to start a fight on the *Stellar Ark*?"

"Tsk tsk, such a rare sight. It’s something you might not see in ten thousand years!"

"Probably some outsider who doesn’t know the rules. He’s in big trouble now. He might even lose his life over this!"

The whispers of fear grew louder, and Yi Feng’s eyes lit up.

Lose his life...

Just for beating up a scammer, he might die here?

Wow!

If only he had known about this earlier!

Just as he was getting excited, the crowd suddenly fell silent.

The onlookers parted to make way as a group of neatly dressed guards stepped forward, their leader exuding an imposing aura. His icy gaze swept over the scene.

"Who dares to start a private fight here!?"
