The people on the boat were not strangers to Zhao Letian, they were his followers, the Five Tigers of the Galaxy Sect.

"Big brother, I'm afraid there's still no chance today, the thick fog on that island has not dissipated." On the boat, the second tiger said with a frown.

"Let's go check it out, if it doesn't work, we can just go back," Big Tiger said helplessly.

In fact, over the past three months, they had come to find Zhao Letian many times, but upon seeing the island shrouded in dense fog, they dared not forcibly enter, and each time they returned disappointed. Today, it seemed they would return disappointed again.

"Woo!"

Just as the Five Tigers of the Galaxy Sect were feeling dejected, a sudden gust of wind arose, and a path opened up in the thick white fog ahead, just wide enough for a small boat to pass through.

"Come in."

Following that, before the Five Tigers of the Galaxy Sect could recover from their surprise, Zhao Letian's voice came from within the path.

"Great, it's the master."

The Five Tigers of the Galaxy Sect were overjoyed instantly and quickly steered the boat swiftly into the pathway.

"After you land, what do you need from me? If you want to hear the Dragon Roar, I'm afraid I will disappoint you, as I haven't planned on practicing my sword recently." Zhao Letian said directly after the Five Tigers landed.

"Uh... Besides wanting to hear the Dragon Roar, we have another purpose for coming here, which is to invite the master to join us in catching Spiritual Beasts in Black Mountain," Big Tiger hesitated for a moment, seeming a bit disappointed, but then his expression perked up with excitement.

"Catching Spiritual Beasts?" Zhao Letian exclaimed in surprise, his eyes showing a contemplative look.

The so-called Spiritual Beasts are demon beasts that have been tamed by martial artists and can serve as mounts or battle partners, aiding martial artists in combat.

Owning a powerful Spiritual Beast can significantly enhance a martial artist's combat power, and even enable them to fight opponents above their level. At the very least, possessing a stylish Spiritual Beast also allows one to show off in front of others, which is why many martial artists are keen on capturing them.

As for Black Mountain, it is a massive mountain range located to the north of the Galaxy Sect, stretching unknown thousands of miles, vast and boundless, inhabited by countless types of demon beasts. It is a sacred place for disciples of the Galaxy Sect to capture Spiritual Beasts and hone their strength.

The deeper one goes into Black Mountain, the more powerful the demon beasts become. Individuals of the Primordial Martial Realm usually only dare to roam within tens of miles from the edge, while even True Martial Realm powerhouses dare not venture too deep into the mountain. As for crossing the entire Black Mountain, it would likely require the strength of a Sect Master of the Galaxy Sect to do so.

"Catching Spiritual Beasts, you can go on your own, why call on me?" Zhao Letian asked after pondering for a moment.

"Master, now is the prime season for catching Spiritual Beasts. There are many people entering Black Mountain, including numerous Inner Sect Disciples of the True Martial Realm. Although we five brothers are not afraid of ordinary Outer Sect Disciples of the Primordial Martial Realm, facing Inner Sect Disciples of the True Martial Realm might be too much for us. Three months ago, master, you defeated Luo Hao, who was comparable to a powerhouse of the True Martial Realm with a single sword stroke. Surely handling some newcomers of the True Martial Realm shouldn't be a problem now, which is why we want to invite master to come with us. Of course, if master has other important matters, then we will have to go by ourselves," Big Tiger replied.

"Letian brother, why don't we go as well? After practicing continuously for three months, I'm really feeling stifled. It might be good to take this opportunity to go out and unwind, and also, I would really like to catch a beautiful Spiritual Beast," Liu Wei proposed excitedly, as girls generally adore beautiful Spiritual Beasts, and she was no exception.

"Alright, then let's take a trip to Black Mountain," Zhao Letian said indifferently with a nod.

That was just right—he needed to find an opportunity to break through to the True Martial Realm. Perhaps a stint of training in Black Mountain might help him find that opportunity.

Additionally, he needed to practice a Body Technique Martial Technique, which required a vast space; the limited space on this small island was not suitable for practice. In contrast, Black Mountain was boundless and an excellent place for training in Body Technique Martial Techniques.

"Great, Master, when do we set off?" Da Hu asked excitedly.

"No rush, let me deal with these people first," Zhao Letian said as he looked toward the people trapped in the Array on the shore.

The Five Tigers of Galaxy Sect followed his gaze, their eyes revealing shock. As people from the royal city, although they were only at the Primordial Martial Realm, their broad experience allowed them to recognize that there was a sophisticated Array on the island trapping those dozens of people. This made them inwardly marvel at their master Zhao Letian, who was indeed mysterious and unpredictable, not only with extraordinary talent and substantial wealth but also knowledgeable in Arrays. Such a genius, even in the royal city, was destined to shine brilliantly.

"All of you listen carefully, to save your lives, hand over the Primordial Stones, elixirs, Spiritual Artifacts, storage rings, and anything else valuable you have, or you will be trapped here forever until you perish. Remember, I'm giving you this one chance only; if you miss it, there won't be another. So, it's best not to hesitate," Zhao Letian said as he looked over those dozens of people impassively.

"Zhao Letian! It's Zhao Letian!"

"Fantastic! He finally spoke up!"

"Ha ha, I can finally see the light again, here, I'll give everything to you!"

Hearing Zhao Letian's voice, many people were overjoyed and immediately threw out the few Primordial Stones, elixirs, and other items like Spiritual Artifacts they had left. Although these were all their belongings, they were worthless compared to their lives. After all, as long as they survived, they could find other ways; but without life, everything else was meaningless.

Those who handed over their items were immediately thrown out of the Array by Zhao Letian, and they didn't dare stay a moment longer and quickly left.

However, some people who hadn't been trapped for long hesitated. They still had many Primordial Stones and elixirs and were reluctant to give them all to Zhao Letian. Moreover, they hadn't completely given up hope and were still fantasizing about breaking the Array on their own one day.

"Zhao Letian, let us go! By the Sect's rules, you are not allowed to kill us."

"That's right, Zhao Letian, who do you think you are, daring to trap so many fellow Sect members here? That's outrageous!"

"You're just an Outer Sect Disciple, how dare you set up an Array and ambush us Inner Sect Disciples? If you know what's good for you, let us go quickly, or when I get out, I'll tear you to pieces."

The remaining people shouted angrily.

"I've already given you a chance. If you don't want it, you can't blame me," Zhao Letian said indifferently as he picked up the items on the ground.

Sect rules? He knew them of course, but he hadn't broken any rules. It was these people's greed that got them trapped here by intruding onto his island, and if they died, no one would stand up for them.

"Wait! I'll give..."

Zhao Letian's tone was very resolute. Fearing that he would really leave them trapped here forever, someone quickly shouted and threw out their belongings.

After one person started, the rest began to waver and hurriedly handed over their belongings, fearing to miss this only chance.

After collecting these people's belongings, Zhao Letian also controlled the Array to throw them all out. However, these people still had plenty of energy and didn't leave immediately; instead, they stayed around the outskirts of the island, their eyes flickering with resentful glares. They were waiting for Zhao Letian to come out to take revenge and seize his treasures.
