He Yiming vaguely sensed Li Yajing's complicated thoughts when he saw her. Despite that, to be honest, the feeling did not only come from her but also from Hao Xue, Li Jiangfeng, and Jin Zhanzhan.
Despite that, apart from strong jealousy, there was also an obscure killing intent from Hao Xue and the others. After Jin Zhanzhan and the others had similar thoughts, they would take the initiative to work hard and climb to a higher martial arts boundary with him as their target.
This was the biggest difference between the two sides, and the relationship between friend and foe was actually decided by this thought.
Li Jiangfeng sighed softly and said, "Brother He's innate talent is unparalleled in the world. Even in the entire history of cultivation, there has never been another person who was able to break through the shackles of twenty years and successfully become a Five Qi Supreme Venerable."
He made it clear that ordinary people could not be compared to such a freak.
Li Yajing was stunned, then she lowered her head and responded, "Yes, Father."
He Yiming touched his nose and smiled bitterly to himself. He quickly asked, "Brother Li, have the others arrived?"
Li Jiangfeng nodded and answered, "Most of them have arrived, but there are still some who haven't. I don't know if they were delayed by something, or if they gave up this opportunity."
Jin Zhanzhan shook his head and said, "Brother Li, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone, so not many people will give it up."
They chatted as they walked into the cave.
Not only was the entrance of the cave extraordinarily large, but the passage inside was also the same. When He Yiming entered and slowly went deeper, he became more appalled.
No wonder they chose this place as their mountain gate because it was indeed an excellent place.
Bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the cave ceiling, and glowing gems embedded in the ceiling could be seen everywhere.
If these gems were auctioned in Dongfang Da Shen, any one of them could allow an ordinary family to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.
However, at this moment, the gems were embedded between the cave ceiling and rock walls as if they were free. The purpose was to provide the cave with an inconspicuous light.
Although this was Nanjiang, the largest origin of this kind of gem, such a luxurious display still shocked He Yiming.
The wealth that Southern Border's Glazed Island had accumulated over thousands of years was indeed unimaginably rich.
Moments later, after making a few turns in the cave, the group arrived at a spacious branching cave.
After arriving here, He Yiming's face suddenly showed a trace of a smile.
The people here were all old friends. Wei Zongjin, Xu Daming, Lin Xiangqing, Deng Yichen, and Yu Huiliang and Yan Leiming from the Northwest.
After seeing He Yiming, these people stood up at the same time, their faces full of smiles.
Regardless of whether these smiles came from the bottom of their hearts, at least they maintained a harmonious relationship on the surface.
After everyone greeted him, He Yiming smiled and said, "Brother Deng, you actually came earlier than me."
They knew Deng Yichen was living in the He Clan Manor at the moment and had a close relationship with He Yiming. Thus, they did not find it strange that He Yiming deliberately talked to him.
Deng Yichen smiled bitterly and answered, "Brother He, I came on the same boat as Brother Yan and Brother Yu. However, the feng shui along the way wasn't smooth, so we almost couldn't make it. "
He Yiming's face changed. It was normal for Deng Yichen to travel with the 2 Venerable Ones from the Northwest, but it was definitely not a small matter to make the 3 Venerable Ones feel that the feng shui was not smooth.
Yu Huiliang took a step forward and said, "Great Venerable One He, we came on a hired boat, but halfway through the journey, we were attacked by a saint beast from the sea. After fighting for a day and a night, the 3 of us managed to escape, but the boat was overturned by the saint beast. I'm afraid that the people on the boat …"
He shook his head and stopped talking, but one could imagine the outcome of the ordinary sailors.
He Yiming's face changed, and he thought, 'How did we encounter a saint beast from the sea too? It's too much of a coincidence.'
He turned to look at Xu Daming and Lin Xiangqing. The 2 Venerable Ones from the mainland's aristocratic families quickly shook their heads and said, "Brother He, we had a safe journey and didn't encounter any accidents."
He Yiming had just nodded his head when he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming over.
A Colored Glaze Island's disciple hurried over and handed a letter to Li Jiangfeng. When he opened the letter, he had a funny look on his face.
Faced with everyone else's looks, Li Jiangfeng smiled bitterly and explained, "Everyone, I just received a letter from Master's Uncle Hua. The Qilian Twin Demons' boat encountered an unknown saint beast at sea. They used the Five Elements Reincarnation Flower to repel it, but their boat was damaged, so their journey was delayed. They just arrived on the island, and Master's Uncle Hua is bringing them here."
After hearing the news, everyone's faces became as strange as Li Jiangfeng's.
Although everyone who came to Southern Border's Coloured Glaze Island had come on different ships, except for Xu Daming and Lin Xiangqing, everyone else had encountered a Saint Beast of the sea. The probability was so high that it was inconceivable.
Li Jiangfeng stood up and clapped his hands twice. Immediately, a servant served fine wine and delicacies. Despite that, everyone's minds were heavy at the moment, so the delicacies were no different from chewing wax.
Two hours later, a familiar laughter could be heard. Hua Ruijin and the Qilian Twin Demons entered the cave one after another.
Everyone's faces changed when they glanced at the Qilian Twin Demons.
The 2 brothers' clothes were neat, but their faces were pale. It was clear that they had consumed too much essential Qi and damaged their essential essences. Moreover, there was a white bandage wrapped around the Great Demon's head.
Everyone knew that the Great Demon would not wear such a thing for no reason, so there must be an unconcealable wound on his head.
Li Jiangfeng asked in shock, "Brother Great Demon, even you are injured?"
The Great Demon blushed and said, "I'm ashamed. The saint beast we encountered was too powerful. Although we did our best to force it back, we were still slightly injured."
Everyone was silent. They knew that even though the Great Demon spoke casually, the dangers involved were unimaginable.
The twin demon brothers looked around and saluted. Then, they went straight to He Yiming.
Everyone already knew about the enmity between He Yiming and the Blessed Enclave, so they all held their breaths and waited. However, they also knew that the Twin Devil Brothers would definitely not make an enemy out of He Yiming here. Otherwise, the two of them would be courting death.
"Brother He." The Great Devil picked up the three empty cups in front of him while the Second Devil picked up a jug of wine and filled the cups. The two of them picked up a cup at the same time and said in unison, "We're sorry."
Everyone was shocked. Given the identities of the Qilian Twin Demons and the forces behind them, they actually did something like this here.
If this matter were to spread, it would cause an unimaginable sensation.
He Yiming looked up. He raised another cup and clinked it with the Twin Demons'. "The past is the past, so there's no need to mention it."
The 3 of them drank the wine in their cups at the same time, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Li Jiangfeng rearranged the seats, and Hua Ruijin joined them. Although he was a veteran Venerable One on Colored Glaze Island, the other people here were not inferior to him in status. Perhaps they were not as shrewd and difficult to deal with as him now, but in a few decades, their achievements would not be inferior to Hua Ruijin.
"Brother Twin Demons, what sea monster did you encounter?" Li Yajing asked in a deep voice.
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on the Qilian Twin Demons. Everyone knew that if the Qilian Twin Demons' 2 Crescent Shovels were combined into one, they would form an incomplete Five Elements Reincarnation Flower. Although they could not be compared to He Yiming at the moment, if they fought any of the 3 Venerable Ones present, they would have a higher chance of winning than losing.
Even so, the sea monster that they encountered was so troublesome that even the Great Demon was slightly injured. It was clear that the sea's saint beast was far more terrifying than they imagined.
The Great Demon smiled bitterly and said, "This time, we encountered a gigantic fish." They gestured for a while before they finally gave a general idea.
The Li father and daughter, Hua Ruijin, and the other two looked at each other. After a while, Li Jiangfeng said, "Brother Big Demon, we've lived in the Southern Sea for quite some time, but we've never heard of such a fish. If I'm not wrong, it's not a saint beast from the Southern Sea. "
He Yiming asked in surprise, "Brother Li, are you sure that this saint beast strange fish is not from the Southern Sea?"
Li Jiangfeng shook his head slightly and said, "The life of a saint beast is endless, far beyond that of us human Venerable Ones. Therefore, Glazed Island has some detailed records of all the powerful saint beasts in the Southern Sea. I can assure you that this strange fish is not among them. "
Lin Xiangqing smiled and said, "It seems that this saint beast strange fish should have migrated from afar. I just don't know if it passed through the Southern Sea or came from somewhere else."
Deng Yichen hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Li, the spirit beast we encountered does not seem to be from the Southern Border, but from afar."
He Yiming was slightly stunned this time. After hearing their words, He Yiming himself also had a slight discovery.
When the Silver Eel King was chased by the White Horse Lightning and had nowhere to go, it went to the outer sea. Furthermore, it entrenched itself in a certain place and fought the white horse to death.
At that time, He Yiming had already guessed that this mutant Silver Eel King was originally a resident of the outer sea. As for why it came to the South China Sea on a whim to recruit soldiers and buy horses to chase after them, it was not something he could guess.
Once Deng Yichen described the saint beast that they encountered, the atmosphere in the hall became even stranger.
Hua Ruijin had been sitting still, and his smiling face made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze. However, at this moment, a rare look of worry appeared on his face.
"Brother Hua, do you know this saint beast?" Jin Zhanzheng asked with bright eyes.
Hua Ruijin smiled bitterly and said, "How can I know a saint beast from the deep sea? Brother Jin, you're purely joking." He paused as though he had made up his mind, then he added, "But you've been frequently attacked by sea monsters, which reminded me of a distant legend."
He Yiming was moved. He asked, "What legend? Please enlighten me, Brother Hua."
Hua Ruijin looked far to the north and said slowly, "Every 1,000 years or so, a large number of saint beasts migrate from the outer sea. They live here and only leave after decades or even centuries.
