They soon arrived at the lakeside. The lake wasn't big. It was only a few dozen acres in radius. The shore wasn't far from the central island.
"According to the information of the clan, there doesn't seem to be any danger in this lake. So, we might as well walk across the lake," Young Master Zhu suggested.
"Forget it. I have a spirit treasure here. It's called 'Spirit Void Spaceship'. Let's take this spaceship!" The Twenty-third Prince was a cautious person. It could be seen from his position that he was a meticulous person. He wouldn't take any risks.
"Then, I'll go ahead and explore the way!" Young Master Zhu didn't allow any explanation. He rushed towards the lake's surface. He took a few steps on the lake's surface, and flew over a distance of a thousand meters. He arrived at the island after a few ups and downs.
Zhao Yuande couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile on the corners of his mouth when he saw this youngster. This Young Master Zhu had quietly sprinkled some grey powder into the lake when he had crossed the lake's surface. The grey powder quickly melted. However, none of the youngsters behind him had noticed this detail.
"Young Master Zhu, let's also cross the lake like this!" Many youngsters looked at each other. Then, they looked at the Twenty-third Prince.
"Okay! Let's go together! "The Twenty-third Prince didn't insist.
The cultivation of these youngsters was at the Divine Embryo Realm of the Blood Sea. They were like immortals in the eyes of ordinary people. They were walking on the lake's surface in a confident and elegant manner.
The Twenty-third Prince looked fat. However, he wasn't any slower than the others in flying. He looked like a floating balloon.
"Good! The Twenty-third Prince is very powerful! "A youngster raised his thumb and praised. His face was full of flattery.
"Yes …"
Everyone agreed in succession. Everyone started to laugh and talk on the lake's surface.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, someone screamed loudly. Then, a blood-red light lit up on the lake's surface.
Everyone saw a big golden fish jump out of the water's surface. It then tore a youngster to pieces with its mouth. His blood dyed the lake's surface red.
"No! Everyone, run! "
Everyone's complexion changed. They started to fly towards the island at a speed several times faster than before.
However, the big golden fish jumped out of the water's surface, and chased after the youngsters. Some of them didn't react in time. So, the big golden fish caught up with them, and dragged them into the water.
Every single one of these huge fishes were Class 5 ferocious beasts, which were equivalent to experts in the Spirit Platform Divine Incubation Realm. Furthermore, they were extremely fast. These young men were still on the water, so how could they possibly defend against the attacks of these huge fishes?
Waves of miserable cries reverberated on the surface of the lake, causing Zhao Yuande, who was behind them, to feel somewhat alarmed.
Only four people had managed to reach the island in the end. And, the Twenty-third Prince was one of them. These four people were glaring at Young Master Zhu with anger written all over their faces.
"Zhu Yuntai, tell me! What's going on? " The Twenty-third Prince held a huge hammer in his hand. His fat face exposed a cold smile as he looked at the Young Master Zhu, "Don't think that we are fools. I know that you're the one who did this!"
"That's right! Zhu Yuntai, you're dead if you don't explain yourself today! " A young man was covered in blood and had a ferocious look in his eyes. His stomach had been bitten by the golden fish, revealing his white ribs. One could vaguely see his organs that were still squirming non-stop.
"Let's just kill him. There's no need for so many of us to waste our breath on him!"
"Kill him!"
"Everyone! Everyone! Everyone, please calm down. I'm doing this for your own good! " Zhu Yuntai was surrounded by several people. But, he didn't seem worried or afraid. He pointed at the center of the dense 'spirit energy', and said with a smile, "There are only so many treasures on this island. So, the fewer people who get a share, the better!"
He arrived in front of everyone as he spoke. He then winked at the Twenty-third Prince in a mysterious manner, and continued, "Twenty-third Prince, what do you think?"
"This is good. But, those are our friends …" The Twenty-third Prince exposed a regretful look on his face, "But, they're all dead now. So, the rest of them should also die!"
The Twenty-third Prince suddenly revealed a ferocious smile. He then pounded the head of the bald youth beside him with the hammer in his hand. And, the bald youth was smashed to pieces on the spot.
Zhu Yuntai also pierced the throat of the injured youth with a long blade at this moment.
"You..." The remaining youth looked at them in horror. His feet slipped, and he rolled into the lake.
"Crack!"
A big golden fish was waiting below. And, it bit him into two pieces.
The youth howled miserably as the big fish rushed up from behind and ate him alive.
"Young Master Zhu, are you satisfied this time?" The Twenty-third Prince looked at Zhu Yuntai with an indifferent smile as he held the huge hammer in his hand.
"A bunch of trash. How can they be qualified to compete with us for the opportunity? Let's go to the center of the island!" Zhu Yuntai put away the long blade, and grinned. He then turned around and walked away.
The Twenty-third Prince looked at Zhu Yuntai's back. He wanted to smash the hammer in his hand several times. But, he restrained himself in the end.
He and Zhu Yuntai had known each other for a long time. This man was a vicious and ruthless person. He would do anything for his own benefit. He must have something to rely on since he had dared to swagger in front of them. So, he couldn't fall into his trap.
The Twenty-third Prince took a few steps forward, and caught up with Zhu Yuntai's pace.
The corners of Zhu Yuntai's mouth curled into a faint smile. Then, something slipped from his hand into his sleeve.
The two men cautiously passed through the dense 'spirit energy'. A huge 'medicine garden' appeared in front of them. They could see various kinds of spirit grasses competing with each other in terms of beauty from afar. In fact, multi-colored lights were shining above these spirit grasses!
"These … are spirit grasses above the fifth grade. We've made a fortune this time!" Zhu Yuntai excitedly looked at the medicine garden. His eyes exposed an extremely excited look.
"You look inside. The most … inside!" The Twenty-third Prince pointed in a direction. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling. Even his mouth was somewhat stuttering.
Zhu Yuntai looked in the direction he was pointing. He saw a palm-sized luan bird flying in the air. Two small qilins were running cheerfully in the medicine garden. There was also a chubby baby leaning against a small tree and sleeping soundly!
"Oh my god! These spirit grasses have transformed. These are seventh or eighth grade spirit grasses. We've made a fortune this time! "Zhu Yuntai excitedly clenched his fists. Even his breathing had become coarse and heavy.
Zhao Yuande had also arrived safely on the small island by now. So, he had also seen these new spirit grasses with his heavenly eyes.
However, there was a great doubt in his heart. The Heavenly Emperor had fallen countless years ago. So, the spirit energy here was abundant. However, the opening of the Ruins of God was very frequent. Therefore, these spirit grasses couldn't have remained here until now if they had been opened the last time. Perhaps, these were all illusions!
Zhao Yuande pointed towards the chubby baby.
"The ancient spirit grasses' shadows can't be used as food ingredients!"
"Sure enough!"
