Chapter 202 Each Harboring Their Own Schemes
The Eastern Border, on an island sixty nautical miles from the coast.
From a distance, the island was lush with trees and various seabirds fluttered up and down, appearing to be an ordinary island. However, once through the dense forest, one would discover a different realm altogether.
"Big Brother, are we really going to cooperate with the people from the Sky Eagle Sect?"
In the very center of the island, hidden deep within the mountains and forests, stood a palace-like luxurious villa. At the moment, by a large open-air fish pond, a one-eyed man sat in a vacation chair feeding the fish, and what swam below were the most ferocious sharks in the ocean.
The speaker was a tall and thin man in a white suit sitting beside the one-eyed man, looking particularly refined.
"Cooperate, of course we should cooperate."
"A top-level expert who might be a Middle Rank Martial King, to be honest, this is much more interesting than dealing with the useless Old Undying, the Eastern King. Coincidentally, the two envoys are visiting our East Pole Island at this time. There’s an old saying in Xuanyuan Nation: it’s better to be timely than early, don’t you think so?"
Suddenly, the one-eyed man stood up and waved his hand across the pond, and in a moment, several subordinates escorted two men covered in blood and indifferently pushed them into the water.
His fish weren’t full yet!
"The people from Xuanyuan are always cunning. I’m just afraid they might play tricks."
In the pond, a hungry great white shark swam menacingly while the suited man, watching the two men calling for help, sneered coldly at the corner of his mouth.
"In the face of absolute power, any tricks are futile."
"Since they like acting, let’s play along with them. I’ll personally lure the target to the island, and you go invite the two envoys to join forces. No matter who comes to our island, I’ll make sure they won’t return."
"Also, order Old Three, Old Four, and Old Five to lead men to ambush in the shadows. After I lure the target away, take care of that old trash, the Eastern King."
Having said that, the one-eyed man picked up the mountain-splitting knife by his side and turned to leave, into the foggy outdoors – a perfect convergence of time, place, and people.
He was asking for death!
"Done!"
On the cruise ship, Sky Splitting Tyrant smirked sinisterly.
"How’s the preparation for the task I assigned to you?"
Lei Tianying sat calmly in his chair. Despite his excellent disguise, the gleam of scheming in his eyes couldn’t be hidden. He spoke with his heart voice.
"The elders have left seclusion. Rest assured, Big Brother, before we set off, I had already released the Cloud Eagles. No one will be able to trace them."
"That ignorant Old Eastern King, this time, there’s no need for him to return!"
Apart from the heavy clouds and mist, it would not be hard to spot several tiny dots soaring in the sky above the cruise ship. No matter where the cruise ship went, they always followed. Those were the Cloud Eagles raised by the Sky Eagle Sect, and although eagles were creatures of the plains, their hunting did not rely solely on sight.
"It’s my first time out to sea, I’ve grown this big."
On the deck, Hong Qingyan opened her eyes wide, immersing herself in everything the sea had to offer. Despite the thick fog, her heart’s joy was boundless.
"Do you like watching the sea?"
Ye Feng swung the seven gold rings on his hand, and with a big cigar clasped in his mouth, he asked. With the Old Eastern King’s meager abilities, it was probably hard to find a spy not on this cruise ship.
Since it was a performance, it had to be convincingly real.
"I love it!"
"Big Brother Ye, I don’t know why, but I feel an inexplicable closeness to the sea, as if I was born to be on the sea. Isn’t that a bit funny?"
Hong Qingyan’s body leaned forward, seemingly unfazed by the possibility of falling into the sea.
"Of course, it’s not funny. You’re so beautiful that whatever you say can be forgiven. Besides, look who your man is?"
Great Hand gently wrapped around Hong Qingyan’s slender waist.
The game was simple—several women were placed at a distance, and the participating men, blindfolded, had to find their partner in the shortest possible time to win.
As the game progressed, a fleet of speedboats, fast as torpedoes, approached the cruise ship on the sea surface.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of water mines exploding interrupted the playful atmosphere inside the cabin and forced the cruise ship to a halt as bandits from East Pole Island leaped aboard one after another.
"Muu Tianye, I’m here."
A roar echoed like thunder, making everyone’s eardrums ring within the ship.
A master fighter!
Old Eastern King’s face turned ashen. With the power emanating from the intruder, the enemy was beyond his capacity to deal with. They had arrived indeed, but why so soon?
"You outlaw and villain, who are you to dare defame our Eastern Border King?"
Wuyi Ridge Lord Martial Peak bellowed angrily.
"Scram!"
"You’re not worthy of talking to me!"
At the front of the deck, a one-eyed man with his hands on his knife hilt glared at Martial Peak. Just one look was enough to make Martial Peak’s qi-blood surge and cause hidden injuries.
"Which Island Master from East Pole Island are you?"
Old Eastern King squinted his eyes and secretly broke into a cold sweat. If Ye Feng hadn’t been right beside him at that moment, he would have thought of fleeing the battlefield. The blood trickling from the corner of Martial Peak’s mouth hadn’t escaped his notice.
"I’m the great Island Master of East Pole Island, the One-Eyed Lv Xiangyang."
Lv Xiangyang was arrogant, utterly unfazed by the increasingly hostile glances from around Old Eastern King.
"You’re One-Eyed Lv Xiangyang? No, Lv Xiangyang, weren’t you supposed to have died over a decade ago?"
Flora Ridge Lord Shen Sanwan exclaimed in shock.
One-Eyed Lv Xiangyang had been a notorious bandit in Flora Ridge more than a decade ago, and it was believed he had died in a crackdown led by Shen Sanwan and the former lord of Flora Ridge.
"I’m tough to kill!"
"So you’re the son of Shen Yunlong? Perfect, I’ll start with you."
As Shen Sanwan recognized Lv Xiangyang, the latter also recognized him. Without further words, Lv Xiangyang stepped forward, brandishing a large knife.
"Stop right there, you insolent thief."
A figure shot over the heads of the people, as the Sky Eagle Sect Master, with claws like hooks, reached out towards Lv Xiangyang’s face.
"Away with you!"
In an instant, the large knife swung up, bringing with it a surge of powerful Qi Force sweeping towards Lie Tianying.
A Middle Rank Martial King!
"Meet your end!"
Lie Tianying was delighted at the sight, and without changing his moves, he slightly leaned back as he suddenly kicked out at Lv Xiangyang.
Having mastered the Eagle Claw Technique, although his claws were the most formidable weapons, his leg skills were hardly inferior; an eagle has two talons, but a human has four limbs.
"It seems you’re the one courting death."
Lv Xiangyang stood unmovable as a mountain, his left hand forming a palm strike that shot out.
