"Second master, this kid is tricky. I do not even have thirty percent confidence." Inside the dark underground building, the elder in black robes looked like he was thinking. Beside him, there was a lump of shadow, from which came a dry voice, one word at a time.
The elder in black robes lifted up his head, his face blurry. Two cold stars shone in his eyes, "You are my best assassin, and even you say that you do not have thirty percent confidence. It seems like he has already matured. People with great luck are hard to kill. It seems like the gods are on their side. But, if our Nine Ghost Cult wants to kill him, even the gods would not be able to help."
"What is the plan, second master?"
"Wait, wait for the Black Demon to come out."
"Black Demon!"
The shadow moved a little bit, and it was obvious that it was emotional.
"Nightmare, you should not stay idle during this period of time. Bring your assassins and kill one of the candidates for the deputy leader of the Yellow Dragon Palace, Li Xiaoling. This kid is no less threatening than Ye Chen. Plus, he has the water spirit body."
The elder in black robes had a cold look in his eyes. As long as it was a top martial genius related to the old Dragon King and Xuanhou, he would kill them all. It would not be wise to let an enemy with potential grow. If it were not for the fact that the master union was so busy, having to deal with all the information coming from all directions, and also having to watch out for the dark power, he would have done it himself already.
…
Star Regional Lake, east of the core area …
This place was calm and peaceful. The lake water was deep blue, and there were no islands around. Looking into the distance, one could only see the sparkling water.
On the surface of the lake, a small boat was parked there, and an old man was fishing leisurely. The fishing rod was like jade, and the fishing line was shining with a crystal-like luster. However, that fishing hook was not a normal fishing hook, but a finger-long, slightly curved silver sharp blade. The sharp blade was as thin as paper, and it seemed to be quite heavy. The fishing line was stretched taut, and even the wind could not move it.
In the air near the boat, a middle-aged man wearing a scholar robe stood in the air, holding a book in one hand and the other behind his back. He seemed to be immersed in the world of books.
"Fisherman, you said that the Treasure River Island would appear in a couple of days. But we have been waiting for a whole week, and nothing has happened. Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
On the surface of the lake not far away, there was a huge flower boat with an antique design. A beautiful woman in red stood at the bow of the boat. She stopped looking at the lake and said to the old man who was fishing.
The old man focused his attention on the fishing line and said lightly, "Before the Treasure River Island appears, there will definitely be a five-colored light shining on the surface of the lake. I will not be wrong. Let's just wait patiently."
"I have no idea where this island came from. Every time it appears, it seems like it was born out of thin air. But before it appears, it would leave behind some kind of sign. It is really hard to tell." The lady in red looked helpless.
The middle-aged man glanced at the red-clothed woman and smiled. "The world is full of wonders. There are too many things that you and I do not understand. It is better to read more books."
"What is the point of reading? If you did not spend so much time reading, you would be a master level Sea of Souls Realm warrior already."
"Hehe, I'm just waiting for the right opportunity. Only the fisherman is free. Eh? "The middle-aged man suddenly put away his book and stared at the lake in front of him with a sharp gaze.
The lady in red and the fisherman had also noticed the anomaly. They did not even blink their eyes as they started to look more serious.
Under the lake, a huge black shadow appeared out of nowhere. It was so huge that one could not even see the edge of it. They could only see the tip of the iceberg.
"Treasure River Island?"
Before the lady in red came, she had already checked the bottom of the lake and made sure that there was no trace of it. This black shadow was just too strange, as if it came from another world.
Rumble!
Soon, the endless black shadow appeared on the surface of the lake. The five-colored light spread out, dyeing the air, the lake water, and the clouds into a colorful color. It was like a dream, and it was not real at all.
"It is indeed the Treasure River Island!" The middle-aged man gasped as his sight was filled with five different colors. Through it, he saw an island that looked like a small continent. The island was covered in a layer of five-colored light, making it impossible to see what was inside. It was exactly the same as the Treasure River Island that was described in the ancient books.
The lady in red sounded excited, "There are countless spirit plants on this island, including some extinct ones. If you are lucky, you might be able to find one or two top rank spirit plants. According to the rumors, someone had found the Nine Twist Reverse Spirit Plant, Dragon Blood Plant, Youth Flower, and many other rare top rank spirit plants."
The fisherman chuckled, "Spirit plants are just one of them. The Treasure River Island is a mysterious island where all the treasures are gathered. Alright, let's start to break the spell! This five-colored light's defense and attacking power are not normal. Although we are all top spirit warriors, we cannot afford to be careless. "
"The appearance of the Treasure River Island … no matter how troublesome it is, it would be worth it?"
The lady in red and the middle-aged man chuckled, feeling very happy.
Right then, some people were attracted by the five-colored light from afar. It was a group of Sea of Souls Realm warriors who had been wandering around the core area of the Star Regional Lake. The Star Regional Lake was one of the few lakes in the whole true spirit continent. It had a radius of millions of miles, and there were countless dangerous places, especially in the center of the core area. Even Life and Death Realm warriors might not be able to make it back alive. Although the core area was relatively less dangerous, warriors below the Sea of Souls Realm would not be able to go in and out as they wished, since the death rate would be extremely high. Therefore, most of the warriors who appeared in this area were Sea of Souls Realm warriors. There were warriors from the South Rudra Region, the Misty Snow Region, the Wavy Cloud Region, and even the Mountain Region.
This group of Sea of Souls Realm warriors had been traveling together for years, exploring all kinds of dangerous places in the Star Regional Lake. The five-colored light from the island was too bright, and as long as they were within hundreds of miles, they would be able to sense it easily. Therefore, they rushed over immediately.
"This is … the Treasure River Island! It is the Treasure River Island! Oh my god! Now that the Treasure River Island has appeared, our opportunity has come. "
One of the Sea of Souls Realm warriors seemed to have thought of something, and his face lit up as he explained to his partner.
"What?! It is the legendary Treasure River Island! The last time it appeared was one hundred years ago, right?"
No one knew when the island would show up, so it was all up to luck. Therefore, no one knew when the island would show up, and how many years it would take to show up. After all, it was possible that when the island appeared, there would be no one around, and then it would disappear again.
"Huh!"
The lady in red sneered as she exchanged a look with the middle-aged man and the elder.
"Your fortuitous encounter ends here," said Ye Xiwen.
The elder stood up and waved the fishing rod in his hand. The silver sharp blade that was attached to the fishing line shot out. The fishing line seemed to be bouncy, as it could reach dozens of miles with ease. Because of its crystal-like appearance, the fishing line was barely visible, which was hard to notice.
Pooh!
The silver sharp blade made an arc in the air, piercing through the throat of a Sea of Souls Realm warrior. Then, with the bouncy effect of the fishing line, it shot backward, slicing through the other two Sea of Souls Realm warriors.
Blood splashed everywhere. The Sea of Souls Realm warrior who had his throat pierced through clutched his neck and fell down from the sky in shock. He did not even see how the elder had attacked him. Meanwhile, the other two Sea of Souls Realm warriors nearby were suddenly sliced in half. The cut surface was smooth like a mirror. Looking at the fishing line that had been pulled back, a blood colored light shone on it as a drop of blood splashed out.
The silver sharp blade and the fishing line could both kill.
"Run!"
After a slight pause, the other Sea of Souls Realm warriors started to run for their lives. The elder was way too powerful. He had killed three of their partners within a second. Plus, that silver sharp blade and fishing line seemed to be extremely sharp, which meant that they might be top rank weapons as well. Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo!
After three of them had died, there were only six Sea of Souls Realm warriors left, and they started to run toward the distance.
"Hundred Flowers!"
The lady in red had a cold expression on her face as she shook her hand and shot out a huge amount of bright light shards. They were crystal chips that looked like all kinds of flower petals. With a flash, they landed among the six warriors.
All of a sudden, another two warriors had fallen down, and another two had been badly wounded. Their running speed had been reduced drastically.
"Flash Sword!"
The middle-aged man's weapon was a sword, a thin and long sword. His long and slim hand held onto the sword handle as he waved out a sword attack.
Pooh!
A bright light shone, and the two badly wounded warriors were sliced into pieces. The remaining beam of light caught up with one warrior who was slower than them and cut off half of his body.
The three of them had killed eight Sea of Souls Realm warriors with just one attack. It was as easy as eating and drinking.
However, the last Sea of Souls Realm warrior was extremely fast as he disappeared into the sky.
The elder's eyes shone as he said slowly, "His flying art contains the profound of thunder. No wonder he is so fast. Let's not waste any more time. Let's break through the colorful light first and get into the island."
The lady in red and the middle-aged man nodded. They did not look too good, and the carefree mood they had before had disappeared completely.
Thousands of miles away, the Sea of Souls Realm warrior who had just escaped was still scared, his face pale.
"So scary! I did not even have the power to fight back. The good thing is that I am at Mid Sea of Souls Realm, and my flying art contains the profound of thunder."
"These three are so powerful. Once I get into the island, I will definitely die if I run into them. But, giving up on the island is not my style either. It is such a rare opportunity, so I will have to try. What should I do? What should I do to grab this opportunity?"
"Oh right! Spread the news out!"
The man's eyes brightened as he said excitedly, "There are a lot of treasures on the island. It might not be a bad thing if more people go there. No matter how big the cake is, it would have to be big enough for one person to eat. Since I cannot eat it all, why don't I spread the news out? I don't believe that the three of them would be able to kill everyone else."
"Let's do this!"
After making up his mind, the man did not stop and flew toward the nearest mountain region.
…
The news about the Treasure River Island had spread out very fast. Normally, it would be great if there were only a few people who knew about the secret. However, this time, it seemed like someone had been pushing it in the dark, so a lot of people knew about it. But of course, they were all close to the Star Regional Lake. If the distance was too far, the news would not be able to spread out. Since the person behind the scenes did not want everyone to know about it, those who knew about it all kept it a secret and headed toward the place where the island would appear.
Inside the Martial City of the Black Dragon Empire …
"Treasure River Island?"
Ye Chen had just arrived in the Martial City of the Black Dragon Empire recently. He wanted to go through the city and trade for some pellets or medicines with some Sea of Souls Realm warriors. These things were for his parents so that they could reach the Astral Reaching Realm as soon as possible. After all, he already had the power and the identity of a Sea of Souls Realm warrior, so why not do more for his parents? All of these things would be very easy for him. Just before, when he was about to talk with a Sea of Souls Realm warrior in the Martial City, someone sent a Zhen yuan message to them, telling them that the island had appeared somewhere in the Star Regional Lake.
"Sorry, I will leave now."
The Sea of Souls Realm warrior who was talking with Ye Chen had heard the news and left in a hurry.
Ye Chen did not mind, since there were a lot of treasures on the island. Perhaps he would be able to find some medicines that could help his parents increase their cultivation.
"If it were before, I would have to think about it. But now that I am not that weak anymore, it is a must for me to enter the island."
His eyes flashed as Ye Chen left the room.
