"That's me," Li Yunxiao replied with a smile.
Li Yunxiao's name was renowned throughout the world, so Zuo Kai and the others didn't dare to slight him. They hurriedly ordered for the island's defensive barrier to be opened, allowing the warship to enter.
In truth, they still had some doubts about Li Yunxiao's identity, but the faint aura exuding from these people was enough to suffocate them. Even if the other party was an imposter, they could only feign ignorance and continue to play dumb.
Soon, the Great Wheel Island put on the highest standard of treatment to receive the guests.
In the most luxurious pavilion within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Moat Horizon, one or two beautiful maidservants flew past, their sleeves fluttering as they left exquisite dishes on the table.
Golden goblets of fine wine were worth ten thousand taels, while jade plates of dishes were worth ten thousand taels.
Zuo Kai smiled as he led the guests to their seats, calmly saying, "This is just a little wine, I hope that my Lords can be magnanimous enough to forgive me. If there is anything that I have not taken good care of, I apologize in advance. "
Everyone smiled and replied, "Not at all." After everyone was seated, Li Yunxiao went straight to the point and asked, "The last time I saw Lord Nanqiu Yu was in the Tower of Heavy Equipment in the World of Immortality. It has been a long time since we last met, and I really miss you. How have you been, Lord?"
Zuo Kai hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Lord Yunxiao's good fortune, Lord Nanqiu Yu has been well."
"That's good."
Li Yunxiao nodded with a smile, "Lord Zuo Kai, I have a question. Has anything happened in this part of the Southern North Sea recently? "
"What has happened?"
Zuo Kai was slightly taken aback. He pondered for a moment before asking, "What are you referring to, Lord?"
Li Yunxiao took a sip of wine and put down the goblet, "Something that you think is a big deal."
"I think it's a big deal?"
Zuo Kai thought for a while, then counted on his fingers and said, "Murong family's seventeenth young master married Zhang family's Miss Jing Ru; Hundred Blossom Fist Sect's faction master's third concubine eloped with his eldest disciple; Jiangnan Leather Factory closed down, the bastard boss Huang He ate, drank, drank, and gambled, he owed 350 million yuan stones and ran away with his sister-in-law; Also, a new steamed bun shop opened on Great Wheel Island, it's really delicious, I recommend Master Yunxiao to go and have a taste, or I'll send someone to buy it …"
"Cough, cough cough! Stop! "
Li Yunxiao's face darkened. He knocked on the table and said, "Other than these trivial matters, did anything big happen in the southern sea region?"
"On the southern sea region …"
Zuo Kai racked his brains for a while, then shook his head and said, "Maybe this lowly one is too busy all day, so there isn't much news. However, it is said that a group of A-class marine species has migrated to a place three thousand kilometers away from here. I wonder if this is considered a big deal? "
Li Yunxiao said, "Not really."
Zuo Kai helplessly spread out his hands and said, "Then it's not a big deal."
Li Yunxiao shook his finger and faintly said, "Master Zuo Kai, you're not being honest."
"Eh, this …, why does Master Yunxiao say this?"
Zuo Kai jumped in fright, his face filled with innocence.
Li Yunxiao sneered, "I don't have the patience to talk nonsense with you. Since Great Wheel Island is in this sea region, there is no reason not to receive any news. Looks like I'll have to look inside your head myself. "
His expression turned cold, and a chill spread out in the hall.
Zuo Kai and the other people in charge of Great Wheel Island were scared out of their wits.
Zuo Kai was both angry and afraid, his eyes widened and he anxiously said, "Master Yunxiao, you can't be like this! We really didn't hide anything, there really hasn't been anything big recently! "
Another person also said angrily, "We've treated you as an honored guest along the way, and we've never mistreated you. We've answered all of your questions. What evidence does Master Yunxiao have to say that we're being dishonest? Although the Heaven's Moat Cliff can't compare to the Heavenly Martial Alliance, we can't be bullied so easily! "
"Hehe."
Li Yunxiao laughed dryly and said, "Whether we bully or not depends on our strength. As for evidence … "
He spread out his hands and said, "I indeed have no evidence, but I'm certain that you're being dishonest. So what? Not satisfied? "
"This young master's time is precious. If you can't give me something satisfactory in ten breaths' time, I'll personally take action. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Even if I've wronged you, I'll destroy the scene after you die. Nanqiu Yu definitely won't be able to find out that I was the culprit."
Li Yunxiao sneered, "Even if he accidentally finds out, he definitely won't make an enemy out of the Heavenly Martial Alliance for the sake of a few small fries like you.
"That's why I said that if there's really no news, you can only blame yourselves for being unlucky. You'll die in vain."
He said slowly, as if he didn't see them as humans. Moreover, his aura had already suppressed the other party, making it impossible for them to escape or commit suicide.
Zuo Kai and the others' faces were already drained of blood, and they were filled with fear and terror.
Li Yunxiao's words were like pearls, and even if Nanqiu Yu really did find out, he wouldn't make an enemy out of the Heavenly Martial Alliance. He could only feign ignorance. Even if he told them now, it would be difficult for them to escape the blame of their superiors. Not to mention that Li Yunxiao was not someone to be trifled with. The few of them would probably die in vain.
"One."
Li Yunxiao began to count.
"Don't search my soul, I'll talk!"
Finally, one of them was scared out of his wits, and he began to cry.
"Xiaodong, you …!"
Zuo Kai was infuriated, and his scholarly face tensed up. He glared at Nanqiu Yu with a murderous look.
Zhang Xiaodong scowled miserably, "My lord, if you don't talk, you'll really die. Moreover, your soul will be destroyed, and you'll die in vain."
"Oh, there's something going on!"
Qu Hongyan and the others all came to a sudden realization.
Bo Mu smiled, "Young Master Yun is really good at playing the role of a villain."
Narcissus tilted her head and thought for a long time, then said, "Big Brother Yunxiao is so smart. How did you guess that they weren't being honest?"
Li Yunxiao smiled, "Didn't I say that I didn't know anything? It's just that Young Master Yu predicted that the matter would take place in the southern part of the North Sea, and since Great Wheel Island is here, this region of the sea must be under the influence of the Heaven's Moat Horizon. So I gave them a scare. "
"So he was just trying to scare us …"
Zuo Kai, Zhang Xiaodong, and the others were completely dumbfounded. They cursed the old fox inwardly, but their expressions relaxed, knowing that there was still room for negotiation.
Li Yunxiao nodded, "With my relationship with Lord Nanqiu Yu, it's impossible for him to search your souls. Moreover, if you can withstand the verbal and physical threats, then I'll most likely believe that there won't be any problems. After that, I'll naturally apologize to everyone."
Zuo Kai and the others' faces were as white as paper, but they gritted their teeth and didn't say a word.
Li Yunxiao cupped his fists and said, "I had no choice, I hope everyone can forgive me."
He retracted the frosty aura around him, and Zuo Kai and the others felt the pressure on them lessen. However, the pressure on their hearts was as heavy as a mountain, and some of them even wanted to cry.
Li Yunxiao said, "It seems that everyone has been forbidden to speak. Just what happened for the Heaven's Moat Horizon to place such importance on this matter?"
Zuo Kai said dejectedly, "If we speak, we'll be breaking the sect's rules. I'm afraid the sect won't let us off."
Li Yunxiao said, "It doesn't matter. I can see that all of you are quite strong, and you can all come to Yanwu City. Not only can you improve your cultivation, but you can also participate in the war against the Demon Clan. You can give full play to the Heavenly Martial Arts Realm's safety, and realize the value of your lives. It's better than staying on the Great Wheel Island all day and doing nothing for the rest of your life. "
Zuo Kai and the others were taken aback, and they all started contemplating.
Although they didn't want to participate in the Demon War, and although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they had heard about how desperate it was. It was like a giant furnace, and without the power of the Void Divine Realm, they would be melted as soon as they got involved.
Everyone cherished their lives, and they didn't want to die.
But going to Yanwu City was really a good choice. If their cultivation could improve, their lifespan and power would increase greatly.
After thinking it through, Zuo Kai knelt and said, "We're willing to join Yanwu City, and we'll serve Lord Yunxiao as our leader. We'll follow his lead."
The others hurriedly knelt and swore allegiance to him.
Li Yunxiao helped everyone up and said with a smile, "Very good. Now that we are a family, you should tell me everything you know and not hide anything from me."
Zuo Kai's face twitched. Apparently, he still had some lingering fear. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Actually, we don't know what's going on, but it seems the higher-ups attach great importance to it, and they've sealed everyone's mouths. If anyone leaks any information, their fate will be worse than death."
Zhang Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Let me tell you." He had just joined his new master, and he was eager to prove his loyalty.
Zuo Kai slightly furrowed his brows. Although he wasn't happy about it, he didn't care about it, and he just wore a disdainful look.
The others all glared at Zhang Xiaodong angrily. They were dissatisfied, but Zhang Xiaodong didn't care about them, and he started to tell them everything.
"What? The southern sea 30,000 miles away has already become a dead sea?! "
After listening to Zhang Xiaodong's description, everyone shuddered. Bronn even cried out involuntarily.
Although his title as the Sea Emperor was faintly discernible, he was still the ruler of the four seas. He still had deep feelings for the Sea Tribe, so he couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhang Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Exactly! We don't know what happened, but this incident has spread far and wide, covering a hundred thousand miles of the sea. It's said that it has already become a dead sea, and no life exists. Recently, a large number of A-ranked Sea Tribe members have migrated to Great Wheel Island, and they were also affected. "
Li Yunxiao and the others exchanged glances, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Turning a hundred thousand miles of the sea into a dead sea was something that Zong Shou could do, but he had no reason to do so. Moreover, the area affected was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
Li Yunxiao looked at Zuo Kai and asked, "What did the higher-ups of Heaven's Moat Cliff say? They must know something, otherwise they wouldn't have sealed off the information. "
Zuo Kai shook his head, "They didn't say anything, just that something happened, and they warned us not to enter that sea. They also said that the information must not be leaked, or we will be severely punished. Great Wheel Island is the gathering center of all the aristocratic families in the sea, and is also the center of communication with the Sky Martial Continent. As long as we control the spread of the information, we can suppress it. "
