Chapter 623: Shawuchen on Greenfish Island! [16th Update]
Xiao Yi and the others rode on Little Lin's back, hastening their journey to Greenfish Island.
Since the Bai Fa Sword Emperor encounter, they had not met any other powerful entities.
However, this only made Xiao Yi feel more somber; an impending storm was the most unnerving during the quiet that precedes it.
Indeed, it was just as Xiao Yi had surmised.
The factions from Three Blade Mountain, Luan Yue Valley, the Sha Family, the Li Family, the Huang Family, and the Hai Family had already gathered at Three Blade Mountain.
Shayuntian, Shayunfeng, Li Zhenghao, Huang Feihu, Sea King, the three heads of Three Blade Mountain, and Ji Luanyue were all assembled. It could be said that the big shots were gathered, the strong were like a forest, nearly all the apex existences of the entire chaotic sea area had convened here.
Shayuntian frowned and said, "Why haven't we seen Bai Fa?"
Shayunfeng spoke indifferently, "We just received a message from Bai Fa; he has already disbanded the Bai Fa Pirate Group and will no longer participate in the strife of the chaotic sea area!"
"What?"
"How could this be so sudden?"
Everyone was baffled.
The Bai Fa Pirate Group was a powerful force comparable to the alliance of the Sha Family and the Shark Pirate Group. The Bai Fa Sword Emperor alone was enough to suppress countless strong entities in the chaotic sea area, leaving them unable to lift their heads.
Ji Luanyue twirled her slender fingers and said with indifference, "Isn't it better that he has withdrawn? There's one less person to share the spoils, isn't that good?"
"That's true indeed!"
"Bai Fa is a madman; if he had come, he might have just caused more trouble!"
The crowd echoed this sentiment.
"With that being said, let's get on with the main topic for today!"
Shayuntian scanned the crowd, and seeing no opposition, continued, "I believe everyone has guessed that Xiao Yi and his group's destination is Greenfish Island, a place I assume none of you are unfamiliar with!"
"That accursed place, I've heard from early on that the Star Pavilion's relics were there. How many times have we explored that area?"
"Legends are, after all, just legends. Greenfish Island is but the size of a palm, and we have searched so many times to no avail, finding no trace of any relics. It must be that Xiao Yi has also been misled there!" Rendao Kuang said lightly.
Shayuntian nodded and said, "What you've all said makes sense, the news of Star Pavilion's relics on Greenfish Island has long been confirmed to be false. But whether it's true or not, Xiao Yi's intent to go to Greenfish Island is for real!"
"Does Sha mean to have our people surround and besiege him on Greenfish Island?"
"We have no objections to besieging him, but if we capture or kill Xiao Yi, how shall the reward be divided?"
"Those five billion were offered by your Sha Family, and for Su Wuxie's ten billion bounty, your Sha Family also took the larger share. If, after the deed is done, you go back on your word, we will have no recourse against you!" Huang Feihu spoke solemnly.
The hostility of the crowd was directed squarely at the Sha Family.
With the departure of the Bai Fa Sword Emperor, there was not a single power that could stand alone against the Sha Family.
Naturally, the people wanted to band together for warmth.
Shayuntian certainly understood this and was even more anxious when he had heard the Bai Fa Sword Emperor was stepping back. His gaze swept over the people, and Shayuntian coldly said, "Rest assured, the Sha Family does not want any part of Xiao Yi's bounty, and we can also pay the full amount for Su Wuxie's bounty. But I have just one condition..."
The crowd all turned to look at Shayuntian.
This single family, that had lasted a millennium up to the present day, held too many secrets unknown to others.
Shayuntian said emphatically, "Su Wuxie must be captured alive and handed over to the Sha Family for disposal!"
"Why?"
"Why capture such a dangerous person alive instead of killing him directly?"
Huang Feihu squinted at Shayuntian and said darkly, "Sha, you're not keeping anything from us, are you?"
Shayuntian's heart skipped a beat, wishing he could smack Huang Feihu to death right there and then.
But his face remained calm and serene, yet harbored a look of deep resentment as he clenched his teeth and said, "You all should be aware that a thousand years ago, during the chaos in the Sea Domain, many powers were slaughtered by Su Wuxie, leaving only our Sha Family to survive. Yet countless of our forebears also perished at the hands of Su Wuxie. I intend to capture him alive, bring him back, and execute him by dismemberment before the spirits of our ancestors to vent the hatred in my heart!"
"So that's how it is!"
"If it's for revenge, then that does make sense!"
"As long as the bounty is right, we don't care how Su Wuxie dies..." everyone said in turn.
Only Huang Feihu squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Shayuntian with a hint of skepticism in his gaze.
Seeing that he had persuaded the crowd, Shayuntian also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
The news of the Tongtian Shenlu must not be leaked.
He naturally wouldn't say more.
Shayuntian said in a deep voice, "With that being the case, we can set off for Greenfish Island now!"
"Let's go!"
"Don't let that kid slip away again..."
Various forces, each with their own agendas, set out en masse toward Greenfish Island.
......
Meanwhile.
Greenfish Island.
Xiao Yi and his party had just arrived at Greenfish Island, only to find ten thousand strong warriors already waiting there.
Leading them was a person with a large earthy-yellow gourd on his back.
With sleepy eyes, the young man looked as if he had not yet fully woken up.
Noticing the arrival of Xiao Yi and his group, the young man opened his eyes, and from the gourd on his back, streams of sand gushed out, coiling at his feet and transforming into a lotus of yellow sand. It carried him forward, floating midair, as he gazed intently at Xiao Yi and others: "Among you, who is Xiao Yi?"
"People from the Sha Family?"
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and said.
In the vast chaos of the Sea Domain, only those of the Sha Family could control the power of sand and dust.
This youth, in the Eight Nirvana Realm, was the Sha Family's Shawuchen!
"Hmph!"
Shawuchen let out a cold snort, "I am from the Sha Family, Shawuchen."
"How did you know I would come to Greenfish Island?" Xiao Yi asked, narrowing his eyes.
"I was puzzled before, why you would choose to convene on Huanglongn Island when the Teleportation Array there could send you to over a dozen places."
Shawuchen clasped his hands behind his back, the lotus of yellow sand beneath him slowly revolving, carrying him back and forth confidently and astutely, "But you chose to head toward the domains of Three Blade Mountain and Luan Yue Valley, and in this area, the only place of interest is the legendary Greenfish Island that is rumored to have remnants of Star Pavilion! Am I right?"
Clap, clap, clap!
Xiao Yi lightly applauded, a playful smile appearing on his face: "Your analysis is spot on!"
Shawuchen smiled proudly.
"However, unfortunately, out of ten people who visited the Greenfish Island within the chaos of the Sea Domain, nine have searched it upside down, finding not a trace of Star Pavilion. I'm afraid your journey here is in vain."
The sand hissed, the lotus of yellow sand gently touching down as he narrowed his eyes, leaning his body slightly forward and staring intently at Xiao Yi, saying word for word, "Come on, tell me where Su Wuxie is, and perhaps if I am pleased, I might leave you with an intact corpse!"
PS: Sixteen updates, that's the accomplishment for today! I can't push any further, everyone should rest early, good night!
