Chapter 93

~7 min read 1,363 words

Yun Zhongjun and the three of them finally finished speaking.

Within the Xiating, exclamations suddenly erupted.

"What? The Qinglian Treasure-Color Banner, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, the Wuji Bracelet, and even the Ancestral Dragon Pearl?!"

"The four supreme innate spiritual treasures are actually all on that brat?!"

"The Black Dragon didn't pledge allegiance to our Xiating, yet was subdued by that brat?"

"The Old Ancestor Golden Toad didn't even fall?"

The myriad mighty ones' faces changed drastically, unable to hide their inner shock.

Not bad!

Each piece of news was, for them, utterly explosive.

Everyone was shocked beyond measure.

Immediately afterward, strong ones reacted, furiously saying:

"Damn it, our Xiating was actually played around by that brat!"

"How could we swallow this foul breath?!"

"Your Majesty Donghua Emperor, we absolutely cannot let this go."

"Exactly, capture that brat, both to avenge our Daoist friend Golden Toad and to seize all his spiritual treasures and roots, thereby strengthening our Xiating's power."

Burning with rage!

Filled with righteous indignation!

Everyone appeared as if they wished to directly attack Chen Ku.

Of course.

Whether it's anger or greed that's stronger remains unknown.

After all, in the Primordial Wilderness, human hearts are unfathomable.

There's no talk of affection; it's all just for profit!

Hearing the crowd's words, Dong Wanggong, seated upon the throne of the Xiating's lord, also showed a contemplative expression.

After a moment, he actually began to smile slowly.

This left everyone bewildered and puzzled.

Yet Dong Wanggong spoke as if muttering to himself:

"Hehe, good!"

"I previously had no pretext to act against that brat."

"Now, however, I have a just cause......"

One could say that Dong Wanggong bears the title 'Foremost Male Immortal,' which is somewhat pretentious.

Every time he acts, he seeks that so-called just cause.

Moreover, he previously considered that Jieyin Zhunti, as a named disciple of the Dao Ancestor, if he rashly moved against Chen Ku, would also incur Jieyin Zhunti's enmity.

However, the situation now is different.

Since the Golden Toad Old Ancestor is in Chen Ku's hands, the Xiating standing up for its own strong ones is also justified.

Upon hearing this, the Xiating powerhouses below all had their faces brighten, showing eagerness to try, rubbing their palms.

Needless to say, everyone wanted to receive orders to go out and deal with Chen Ku.

His supreme innate spiritual treasures alone number four, and other innate spiritual treasures and roots are certainly not few.

If we strike first, we might just reap a bountiful harvest.

Everyone eagerly looked to Dong Wanggong, awaiting his command.

But at this moment, Dong Wanggong was not in a hurry.

His deep gaze swept toward the direction of Wuliang Sihai, as if he had thought of something.

We must not act rashly!

According to Yun Zhongjun's words, Chen Ku came for the other two Haiwai Xiandao.

We... might as well let him search a bit more.

Dong Wanggong's words left everyone stunned, but they soon understood his meaning.

Exactly!

According to Yun Zhongjun and the others, in Chen Ku's earlier conversation with the Black Dragon, he had already revealed that he found Yingzhou Island and was still continuing to search for the location of Fangzhang Island.

It goes without saying that Dong Wanggong also covets those two other Xiandao immensely.

He himself had tried every means to find them, but ultimately came up empty.

Now it appears that Chen Ku, surprisingly, has some remarkable fortune and luck, having found the whereabouts of the Xiandao.

If so, I will secretly observe and wait for Chen Ku to find Fangzhang Island again, then net them all at once—wouldn't that be even more rewarding?

Having understood this, the Xiating powerhouses instantly showed a knowing smile.

Marvelous, marvelous!

You, Chen Ku, are quite dark!

Little do they know, beyond the mountains are more mountains, beyond the heavens more heavens!

This move of the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind, is indeed even more cunning than Chen Ku.

It can also be said to be repaying a person with their own methods!

After prolonged contemplation, Dong Wanggong made another decision.

He then turned his gaze toward the two other figures aside from Yun Zhongjun and the three.

"Wuji Old Ancestor, Sanjing Daoist!"

This time, you two will appear in the world together with Yun Zhongjun and the others.

But remember, just continue to secretly follow Chen Ku's traces and observe his actions.

If he truly discovers the location of Fangzheng Island, immediately send word to this seat.

By then, I will personally lead the Xiating army there.

Hmph, this time my Xiating will surely be the final winner.

Thus, five quasi-sages have appeared, and they are merely acting as scouts—showing how solemn Dong Wanggong is about this matter.

Upon hearing this, the five quasi-sages bowed, accepted the orders, and departed.

A feeling of great anticipation spread among everyone in Xiating.

Dong Wanggong looked toward the outside world and a smile appeared on his face.

Hehe, Chen Ku, you truly are a blessing star for my Xiating...

At some point, Dong Wanggong seemed to have already foreseen the scene of Xiating gaining immense profit.

At the same time.

Chen Ku and the black dragon continued to travel back and forth across the territory of Wuliang Sihai.

Although this search range is not particularly wide, it still spans tens of millions of li.

And for the entirety of Wuliang Sihai, this is merely a grain of sand in the vast sea.

Thus, one can see how enormous and boundless Wuliang Sihai is.

Throughout this process, Chen Ku's Heavenly Eye Ability never ceased.

The Purple Star Astrology Great Divine Ability had been operated to its utmost limit.

It can be said that even the slightest undetectable aura or spatial fluctuations, etc., are hard to escape his perception.

However, by this point, the two had still found nothing.

Initially, the black dragon also appeared full of confidence, his expression invigorated.

After all, there was the precedent of Chen Ku finding Yingzhou Fairy Island.

Overseas, two of the three fairy islands have already appeared.

Will the last one be far away?

In the past, I too once searched the endless ages, yet found not a trace of the fairy island's aura.

Now, having submitted to the Western command, I suppose... perhaps I can turn misfortune into fortune and behold the true form of the fairy island?

The black dragon couldn't help but think this, following Chen Ku day after day, silently awaiting his discovery.

However, time flowed on.

The two also did not know how much longer they had been searching.

Later on, the black dragon couldn't help but feel a faint sense of unease in his heart.

Alas... the three fairy islands are too profound and mysterious!

Perhaps, to find it, one not only needs immense personal strength, but also an unfathomable, unspoken destiny to descend.

As for the initial Yingzhou Fairy Island, perhaps it was merely a matter of luck.

Although the black dragon serves as Chen Ku's mount, he is ultimately a top-tier mighty figure among worldly experts, a supreme powerhouse of the dragon clan.

Thus, in conversing with Chen Ku, there was no excessive formality or humility.

Moreover, his words already carried a sense of doubt.

Opportunity and fortune are also limited, fixed numbers.

Perhaps, Chen Ku previously found the location of Yingzhou Fairy Island solely by relying on heaven-defying luck.

And that kind of luck is no longer present, making it not so easy to find the final Fangzheng Fairy Island.

Or, to put it bluntly, it might even be impossible!

Regarding the black dragon's words, Chen Ku paid no heed.

He merely continued to gaze deeply over the Four Seas territory, his expression unchanged, showing no sign of dejection.

The black dragon still wanted to say something.

But the next moment, just as he opened his mouth, no sound came out.

Suddenly, the black dragon's pupils contracted as he gazed toward a certain direction.

No... could it be?!

The previous feelings of dejection and loss vanished in an instant. In the black dragon's eyes, a deep disbelief shone.

In the black dragon's eyes, deep disbelief appeared.
