CHAPTER 1018: CHAPTER 1004: HOSTILE VISITORS

In the vast expanse of the sky above the sea, under the sunlight of the freshly risen sun, four streaks of light flashed by swiftly, as if competing with the speed of the sun’s rays.

If someone were watching from a distance, the speed was such that they would only perceive four rays of sunlight flashing by, never suspecting that four martial artists were flying through the sky.

"Fourth Brother, at our current speed, if we fly for half a day, we should reach Yin Yang Island by noon." A voice sounded within the streaks of light, belonging to the Great Saint of Jinghai.

Despite their incredible speed, the four flew side by side, enjoying a chat as they traveled, making for a pleasant journey.

"Thanks for worrying, big brother. Do you need to rest for a few hours before continuing? After all, we’ve been flying continuously for two days and nights, and according to big brother, there are bound to be troubles on Yin Yang Island!" said Ye Zhen.

"Fourth Brother, for martial artists, reaching the Dao Entrance Realm is an entirely new level. Unless we’re outputting spiritual power intensively, we can fly at this speed continuously for a month without affecting our combat power!" The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea laughed, having purged the cold poison from his body.

"Normally, we would rest now, but you two aren’t affected as you’re riding mounts!

Anyway, I’ve got to say, your Cloud Winged Tiger King is indeed a mutant; it flies without being affected by our aura at all.

Over the years, I’ve sought many mounts, over a hundred, yet most could barely move by the time I sat on them.

Some could just manage to fly, but they trembled, let alone worrying about speed!"

With that, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint winked and said, "Fourth Brother, you seem to find mounts easily and aren’t picky. How about giving me your Cloud Winged Tiger King? In exchange, I’ll find you one that’s 30% faster; how about it?"

Ye Zhen pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands toward the Sea-Breaking Great Saint and said, "By rights, as it’s the first request from Third Brother, I shouldn’t refuse no matter what.

However, this Cloud Winged Tiger King grew up with me. When my cultivation was still at the True Essence Realm, Fifth Stage, by chance, I found this cloud-winged tiger while it was still a cub.

Over the years, we grew together, facing life and death hand in hand, and in my heart, the Cloud Winged Tiger King is like a brother to me, it’s..."

"Alright, enough... if you keep going, I’ll have to apologize to you!" said the Sea-Breaking Great Saint with a roll of his eyes.

Hearing this, the Great Saint of Jinghai glared at the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, "Old Third, you know Old Fourth isn’t petty, why tease him in this way?"

Admonished by the elder brother, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint didn’t dare to talk back, muttering a few words to brush it off.

"Also, remember our action plan on Yin Yang Island; be prepared for the worst-case scenario of a bloody battle!" The Great Saint of Jinghai stressed once more.

Upon hearing this, both the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint nodded simultaneously, while Ye Zhen’s expression turned grim.

It must be said that his elder brothers were indeed putting in great efforts regarding this matter.

Before they set off, the Great Saint of Jinghai had already thoroughly briefed Ye Zhen about the situation.

During the two and a half months Ye Zhen immersed himself in earnest cultivation, the Sky Wing Three Saints also didn’t remain idle, trying every means to gather information about the situation on Yin Yang Island, focusing mainly on the recent circumstances of Second Island Master Yang Ben.

After careful discussion, everyone concluded that after suffering such a big loss, Yang Ben wouldn’t hand over the antidote solely on account of their reputation.

After all, Yang Ben was also in the Dao Entrance Realm.

After deliberation, they still decided to visit Yin Yang Island personally to find ways to obtain the antidote.

However, before they set off, they had already prepared for the worst-case scenario!

With Ye Zhen leading, accompanied by the three great powers of the Demon Race—the Sky Wing Three Saints—any demon beast horde they encountered was warded off by their emitted aura.

Hence, the journey was smooth, and by noon, they could already see the outline of Yin Yang Island in the distance.

Yin Yang Island is also a large island, though its area is only half that of Heavenly Wing Island; however, its resources are no less abundant than those on Heavenly Wing Island.

Yin Yang Island derives its name from the Cold Pool Fire Cave located at both ends of the island. This Cold Pool Fire Cave is an excellent place for cultivation, particularly for those practicing fire element techniques or Yin Cold Techniques, making their cultivation incredibly efficient.

Around the Cold Pool Fire Cave, rare spirit fruits and herbs grow, notably the Cold Spirit Fruit and Fire Spirit Fruit, of which consuming just one is equal to a martial artist’s ten years of hard cultivation.

However, over three hundred years ago, the island was conquered by the current two island masters, turning the Cold Pool Fire Cave into a forbidden land where trespassers face death.

Naturally, the Cold Spirit Fruit and Fire Spirit Fruit were swept into their pockets, and when one or two occasionally appear at auctions, they fetch sky-high prices.

Moreover, Yin Yang Island boasts a variety of unique products, having identified over a dozen spirit crystal veins. Leveraging these enormous profits, Yin Yang Island has enlisted numerous martial artists in its service over the years.

In terms of numbers, it rivals Heavenly Wing Island.

It’s just the different management styles make it slightly inferior in quality and loyalty compared to Heavenly Wing Island.

Otherwise, Yin Yang Island wouldn’t rank as the third major power in the Outer Domain Dead Sea!

At noon, Ye Zhen and his group of five arrived above Yin Yang Island. As neighbors on the sea, the Great Saint of Jinghai acted according to formalities and sent an invitation stating that the Sky Wing Four Saints were here to visit.

The Fourth Saint of the Sky Wing Four Saints was not well-known, but the reputation of the original Sky Wing Three Saints was genuinely earned through battles.

As soon as the message was sent, two streams of light flew out from the east and west ends of Yin Yang Island, quickly congregating together.

Due to the reasons behind their respective Cultivation Methods, the two Island Masters of Yin Yang Island did not live together but instead resided separately near the Cold Pool and the Fire Cave.

Judging by the demeanor of these two streams of light, they were likely the two Island Masters of Yin Yang Island.

Clearly, the sudden visit by the Sky Wing Four Saints had startled them, and the two were meeting to discuss the situation!

Within a short period, streamers of Talisman Light scattered in all directions over Yin Yang Island. Soon, the auras of over a hundred Establishment Kings began to rise from various parts of the island, converging toward the central area!

By this time, it had been over one hour since the Great Saint of Jinghai and his party had delivered the invitation.

At the moment when a red and a black stream of light shot over, from afar, laughter rang out first, "Apologies, for making you wait! It is truly an honor for us that you have graced our little island, what an honor indeed!

I say, Great Saints, if you were planning to come, why didn’t you give us a heads-up so that we could prepare a feast of Heaven and Earth Treasures to greet you properly!

Nonetheless, we have been remiss; later, I shall penalize myself with three cups of wine to apologize!"

The Grand Island Lord Yin Yi in a green robe came forward with a smile, closely followed by the Second Island Master Yang Ben in a bright red robe.

The Great Saint of Jinghai laughed as he went up to meet them, "Island Masters, please do not blame us for arriving uninvited; consider us to be evil guests, I beg your pardon!"

"How could that be?" Yin Yi and Yang Ben both chuckled dryly, their gazes sweeping over the group of five.

"The Sky Wing Four Saints, Brother Jinghai, may I ask who is the Fourth Saint of your Heavenly Wing Island, and could you introduce them?" Yin Yi’s expression was a bit puzzled.

Jinghai claimed that the Sky Wing Four Saints were visiting, but here, besides the Sky Wing Three Saints, the other two by their Cultivation aura couldn’t possibly be the Fourth Saint on equal footing.

Meanwhile, the Second Island Master Yang Ben’s expression suddenly twisted, becoming incredibly fierce in an instant, "You wretch, how dare you show up here? Give me back my treasure!"

With a flash of fire around him, Yang Ben charged at Liao Feibai in a fury.

Boom!

Blue luminescence and firelight rose at the same time and then extinguished simultaneously, as the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, who had been prepared, blocked in front of Liao Feibai.

"Fug Hai, get out of my way!" the Second Island Master Yang Ben roared!

The Grand Island Lord Yin Yi’s expression immediately froze, pointing at Liao Feibai with a surprised exclamation, "Is this woman the wretch who poisoned my brother a while ago?"

At this point, the Grand Island Lord Yin Yi’s expression suddenly turned extremely grim, "You bring this wretch here, what are you implying, could it be......"

"Hmph, Island Masters, you’d better watch your words, or else....."

"Did you two forget to wipe your mouths after coming from the toilet?"

Before Ye Lingdian could finish speaking, Liao Feibai’s sharp retort came in, and at these words, both Yin Yi and Yang Ben’s faces turned black simultaneously.

Ye Zhen was also taken aback; Senior Sister’s retaliation was indeed sharp, but it felt great!

Having lived for half a lifetime, Yin Yi knew that quarreling with women was the most foolish thing to do.

He suppressed Liao Feibai’s venomous words and then looked at the Great Saint of Jinghai with a gloomy face, "Brother Jinghai, it seems you are not here with good intentions today?"

"Brother, regardless, since this woman came to us today, she must not leave again! Today, if this woman doesn’t give me an explanation, we won’t let this matter rest!" the Second Island Master Yang Ben snorted angrily, waving his hand to send out more than ten Talisman Lights!

The Great Saint of Jinghai calmly glanced over Yin Yi and Yang Ben, "Since we brought her here today, we came to resolve the matter!"

At this point, the Great Saint of Jinghai’s expression suddenly turned stern, "You two wouldn’t want to start a fight with us brothers right now, would you?"

"Or do you think the Sky Wing Four Saints are easy to bully?" As he finished speaking, the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint squinted their eyes simultaneously, their expressions dangerous.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen blinked and squinted his eyes as well, hey, aren’t they the Sky Wing Four Saints?

Yang Ben wanted to act but was stopped by the Grand Island Lord Yin Yi, whose eyes flickered with an inexplicable light before he coldly chuckled and made a gesture of invitation.

"In that case, let us enter the island for a discussion; I would like to see how you intend to resolve this issue!" (To be continued.
