Chapter 324

His face darkened, his eyes filled with discontent.

Before this.

He had still thought that the eminent monks of Dali's Tianlong Temple were all people of high virtue and prestige.

When Pudu Cihang Jingzhai was stirring up trouble, they did not step forward to support her.

Now it seemed.

They were completely birds of a feather!

It was just that the others had looked further ahead and chosen not to join Pudu Cihang Jingzhai's alliance.

Now that Duan Zhengchun, one of their own, had gotten into trouble.

They immediately could not sit still!

And they were still blatantly showing favoritism.

One could see just what their moral character was really like!!

"Duan Zhengchun is my Dali's King of Zhennan—how could he be bullied by you ruffians of the jianghu?!"

"Besides, the love between a man and a woman is perfectly natural."

"The King of Zhennan never used forceful means to coerce them—it was all a matter of mutual consent."

"What business is it of yours?!"

"If you are truly so bored, why not go eliminate those flower-picking thieves, those great villains?!"

Master Kurong curled his lip in disdain and opened his mouth to argue.

As he spoke toward the end.

A trace of mockery even surfaced on his face.

Which made everyone present fly into a rage.

The auras about their bodies erupted one after another.

Angry shouts rose and fell all around.

"Outrageous! What utter sophistry!"

"You bald-headed thief, how dare you!"

"Shameless!"

"..."

With everyone's cursing.

The atmosphere in the field.

Also turned confrontational in an instant.

"This is sacred ground of Fomen—you lot must not run wild!!"

Master Kurong saw what was happening.

And bellowed with a cold face.

The aura of a mid-stage Peerless cultivator erupted violently from his body.

With himself at the center.

It swiftly crushed outward in all directions.

"The bald thief is tough—everyone attack together!"

Feeling that overbearing pressure.

The saber-wielder shouted.

Drew out his greatblade and hacked it over with a flourish.

Seeing this, the crowd.

One after another raised their own weapons, each finding an opponent.

In an instant.

The scene descended into utter chaos.

At the same time.

Off the coast of Yunzhou.

As towering waves crashed down.

Zhang Sanfeng, who had been drifting on a small boat for quite some days.

No longer possessed any of his earlier immortal bearing.

The man looked travel-worn and weary.

"Sigh~~"

"The Grand Chieftain's mission is really tough."

"Vast ocean—where is this old Daoist supposed to find Water God Island?"

Heaving a deep sigh.

Zhang Sanfeng, standing at the bow of the boat.

Thought of the mission the Grand Chieftain had originally given him.

And could not help but let out a bitter laugh.

After searching for all these days.

He had indeed found quite a few islands.

But the problem was.

These small islands showed no traces of human activity.

As a result, every expectation before arriving on the island ultimately turned to disappointment.

If it weren't for knowing that the Dalongshou Society wouldn't deceive him.

He even began to doubt whether the Water God Island existed at all!

"Forget it, let's search again."

"This is the old Taoist's first mission."

"I can't just go back in shame."

He shook his head and snapped out of his thoughts.

Zhang Sanfeng silently spurred himself on.

As one of the Seven Dragon Heads of the Qinglong Society.

Until now.

He had never completed a mission.

If he couldn't even complete the Dalongshou's first task assigned to him.

How could he possibly face returning?!

At that time.

Never mind whether the Dalongshou would punish him.

What would others think of him?

Enjoying the benefits of the Qinglong Society.

Yet accomplishing nothing?!

Especially Li Taibai!

Although they had only known each other briefly.

He had felt firsthand his endless chatter.

If he returned in shame like this.

Leaving aside other things.

He would surely mock and tease him mercilessly.

He might even spread it far and wide.

Just imagining that scene.

Zhang Sanfeng felt his old face burn with shame.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He would not return until he found the Water God Island!!
