“Devil Island is only half a day’s journey from here. According to calculations, it should be only ten million miles away!” In the Heaven Fate Ship, Huangfu Taotian looked at a map while scouting outside with his divine senses and speaking to Jiang Yi who was resting.
Jiang Yi nodded and closed his eyes while leaning on the lion chair and said, “Wake me up after advancing another three million miles. Let me rest for a moment.”
“Alright!”
Huangfu Taotian’s expression grew grave, but his eyes were getting brighter. The great battle was about to begin, and the strategy that they decided on this time was not to be lenient and exterminate all the enemies. The Devil Legion had so many experts, and it was evident that this battle was certainly going to be intense.
The speed of the Heaven Fate Ship started to slow down, and Huangfu Taotian woke Jiang Yi up after two hours. The latter immediately sat cross-legged and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state while releasing his Divine Perception.
The Divine Perception radiated out like a cool breeze while images appeared in Jiang Yi’s mind. He scouted every place and didn’t even miss a spot. One hour later, he finally discovered the Devil Island.
Devil Island was huge!
Of course, it couldn’t be compared with the Gods Bestow Island, but it was a few dozen times bigger than Sky Thunder Island. Devil Island had precipitous mountain ranges, peculiar terrains, and lush greenery. There were plenty of places where Jiang Yi could feel slight restriction waves, and it was obviously a powerful illusion zone.
He had scouted the entire Devil Island, and apart from spotting plenty of hidden scouts in the outside sea of Devil Island, he didn’t discover anyone else. It was obvious that the legion was inside Devil Island and was concealed by the illusion zone.
After scanning through Devil Island three times, his Divine Perception swept through the surroundings of Devil Island and quickly noticed that there were over ten nearby islands with various sizes, that had illusion zones. There were certainly people hidden inside as there were scouts all around these islands.
Once, twice!
The Heaven Fate Ship had stopped and was waiting for Jiang Yi to finish scouting. Feng Buxi had even entered their room. After Jiang Yi scanned for two hours, he opened his fatigued eyes.
He looked at Huangfu Taotian and Feng Buxi but didn’t say anything. He simply took the map from Huangfu Taotian and took a brush to circle up the various places. He circled in detail, stating clearly where were the restriction waves on every island, and the locations of all the hidden scouts in the nearby vicinity.
Swish!
Just as Jiang Yi was marking out the map. There was a wave motion in the spatial zone in the nearby vicinity of the Heaven Fate Ship. Dozens of figures walked out from the void as though they were phantoms, which caused all the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs on the Heaven Fate Ship to tense up.
“It’s Young Master Yixiao!”
Feng Buxi swept his divine senses out and quickly walked out to welcome Situ Yixiao. Jiang Yi didn’t bother and concentrated on marking the map. Huangfu Taotian stood up and looked through the cabin door to see Situ Yixiao, Qian Wanguan, and the other walking out of the void. He was in silent admiration. “Situ Clan’s Void Transference is truly formidable!”
Swish!
Situ Yixiao led the men, flew onto the Heaven Fate Ship, and directly entered the cabin. He smiled to Huangfu Taotian. “Big Brother Huangfu had gone through hard work.”
“I didn’t do the hard work. Jiang Yi did.”
Huangfu Taotian shrugged his shoulders as everyone looked at Jiang Yi. They were all holding their breaths and waiting for Jiang Yi to finish marking the map. Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yi placed the map on the table and lifted his head to look at everyone while speaking with fatigue, “This is the opposition’s military deployment. Take a look.”
“Brother Jiang, take a rest first.”
Situ Yixiao nodded seriously while everyone looked at the map on the table. After taking a few closer look, Situ Yixiao exchanged eye contact with Qian Wanguan and spoke, “We will act according to plan at nightfall!”
“Alright!”
Everyone nodded and eyes of burning passion. A great battle had made everyone’s blood boiling.
Swish! Swish!
The Heaven Fate Ship shook slightly before setting off towards Devil Island like a meteor. This time, they were advancing at full speed, with the speed of a rainbow. The sun was slowly setting in the west, illuminating the Gods Bestow Sea into a patch of redness. The Heaven Fate Ship cruised along the surface of the sea like a giant beast. When the hundreds of guards on the deck were illuminated by the sunset, their armors radiated with red light while they emitted cold light and killing aura.
…
The sky was gradually getting dusky, and the dark clouds were covering the sky. The sea waves were crashing loudly while the huge Devil Island was enveloped by darkness. Looking from far away, it was like a wild beast in an entrenched position, which caused the heart to palpitate.
Chi! Chi!
There was a sky-breaking sound that came from the east, and a giant Heaven Fate Ship braved the winds in the dusky night. The Heaven Fate Ship didn’t open up the barrier, but the hundreds of Heaven Monarchs activated their divine shields on the deck while grasping tightly onto the standard battle sabers in their hands. The battle sabers were injected with essence force and emitting saber aura waves. All their stern faces with killing aura were illuminated brightly in the dark.
“Wa!”
A hundred miles east of Devil Island was a sea region, where a hundred martial artists covered in black battle armor broke out from the sea. They looked like Netherworld soldiers, and they were all wielding pikes. The strongest among them was a middle-stage Heaven Monarch commander who burst out with a yelled, “Who goes there? This is the territory of the Devil Legion. Stop immediately, or you will be deemed as invading and will be killed without negotiation!”
“Hmph!”
There was a cold snort in the Heaven Fate Shop as an elder of the Green Bird Merchant Association yelled out coldly, “I am Feng Lun. Get Mo Tian out to meet us. Our Green Bird Merchant Association didn’t offer any fewer bribes every month, right? Why did you intercept our Heaven Fate Ship? Kill our merchant association’s members? Abduct our customers? If you don’t give an explanation today, the Green Bird Merchant Association will not let this matter rest.”
“So it is Elder Feng!”
The middle-stage Heaven Monarch commander cupped his hands and said, “Stop the Heaven Fate Ship. I will get someone to report to the Great Commander!”
The Heaven Fate Ship shook a little and floated above the sea while two individuals split off from the Devil Legion and into Devil Island. The surroundings regained their tranquility, leaving behind a hundred individuals and a Heaven Fate Ship silently floating in mid-air.
“Hahaha!”
Thirty minutes later, there was loud laughter coming from Devil Island, it was obvious that the voice was amplified by essence force as it echoed and spread out by a hundred miles, causing the seawater to tremble and surge. An elder, who had a mountain-like aura presence and wearing a luxurious black robe, flew across the sky with a thousand men.
Behind him was a group of men that were dressed uniformly in black battle armor and pairs of icy cold eyes. On the backs of the battle armors were portraits of a devil that was sinister and terrifying. All one thousand of them had powerful aura presences like one thousand devils walked out from hell, and they were all Heaven Monarchs.
A thousand people flew over without any sound and in an orderly manner. They didn’t let out any voice. After they arrived at the Devil Legion scouts in the nearby skies, that black-robed elder beckoned his hand and made all one thousand of the men stopping in unison, without any disorder. They were truly worthy of their title as the top ten bandit legions of the Gods Bestow Sea, and it was evident from their military discipline.
“Vice Commander!”
The near 100 scouts bowed and greeted with respect before going back into the sea. They were just scouts, and since the influential figures of the island were here, there was nothing else required from them.
“Feng Lun, did you bring the 100 billion celestial stones?”
The black-robed elder addressed as the Vice Commander swept a malicious look across the Heaven Fate Ship and spoke coldly, “Feng Lun, our Great Commander mentioned that without any celestial stones, we will kill the hostages.”
“Hmph!”
Feng Lun was extremely furious as he snorted and shouted, “Mo Long, are you sure the Devil Legion wants to do this? Release the hostages immediately, and there will still be room for negotiation. Otherwise, the Green Bird Merchant Association will risk a life-and-death battle to eradicate your legion!”
“Eradicate our legion?”
Mo Long sneered as a black longbow appeared in his hand. He laughed grimly and said, “Bring it on then. Let’s see if you are the ones to die, or we will be the ones to perish. Someone, send a message to Great Commander… kill all the hostages!”
