A thunderous voice echoed through the backyard, sending ripples through the void.
Over a dozen elders and guardians instantly appeared at the door, bowing in reverence.
"We pay our respects to the Island Lord!"
All present were prominent figures on the island, individuals who could command some respect even when facing other sect leaders. Yet at this moment, they stood in awe, not daring to raise their heads.
The air was thick with tension as they waited in silence, the oppressive atmosphere nearly suffocating.
After several breaths, the booming voice spoke again.
"Are Lu Renkuang and Guo the Divine Calculator still on the island? And what are the other two sect leaders up to?"
Though the words carried no overt anger, they sent a chill down everyone's spine, forcing them to bow even lower.
The elders at the front cautiously replied, their tones measured.
"Reporting to the Island Lord, Guo the Divine Calculator has not been seen for several days, and Tong Guihai and the Five Elements Sect have also been inactive."
"As for Lu Renkuang, he has already left the island, and the Mad Blade Celestial Sect has disbanded."
Only a few days had passed.
The Mad Blade Celestial Sect—disbanded?!
Sa Donglai's eyes narrowed as he stared beyond the door.
"What exactly happened?"
Only then did the elders dare to continue, recounting the events at the Treasure Pavilion and Snow Lake in full detail.
Sa Donglai shot to his feet in shock and immediately sent out a summons.
Moments later,
Elder Liu appeared at the door in a panic, dropping to his knees with a thud!
"Spare me, Island Lord! Have mercy!"
Sa Donglai stepped forward steadily, his gaze cold as he looked down.
"You've overseen Snow Lake for nearly ten thousand years without a single mishap. How could you let an outsider take hundreds of Dao-Transforming Sturgeons?"
Elder Liu kowtowed repeatedly, his well-rehearsed excuse flowing smoothly.
"Island Lord, please hear me out!"
"This was no negligence on my part! That Yi Feng employed bizarre methods to catch so many Dao-Transforming Sturgeons—I was powerless to stop him!"
"His cultivation is profound, and with two sect leaders following him, any attempt to intervene would have been futile. Moreover, their demeanor made it clear they were targeting you, Island Lord!"
"He even said..."
Seeing Elder Liu hesitate fearfully, Sa Donglai's eyes turned icy.
"What else did he say?"
Elder Liu kowtowed again, trembling as he pressed his forehead to the ground.
"After hauling in over a hundred Dao-Transforming Sturgeons, he boasted that there were even bigger fish waiting for everyone. It seems he won’t stop until Snow Lake is emptied!"
"Spare me, Island Lord—I truly had no means to resist..."
Sa Donglai's aged eyes narrowed further, his expression darkening.
"So they’ve latched onto an outsider expert, thinking that gives them the audacity to defy me!"
The elders stood frozen in dread, as if sensing an impending storm.
Sa Donglai clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping toward the southern horizon.
"Good!"
"If they’re so loyal to this man, they’ve clearly lost themselves to greed and forgotten who rules this island. In that case, I need not show them any mercy!"
Hearing the Island Lord’s resolve, the elders immediately regained their composure.
The air before the quiet chamber crackled with battle intent!
One elder stepped forward, offering loyal counsel.
"Island Lord, this man defeated the Ninefold Venerable One and possesses an uncanny skill for fishing Dao-Transforming Sturgeons. He is no ordinary foe—his cultivation likely surpasses the Fifth Tier. We must proceed with caution!"
Elder Liu also scrambled to his feet, eager to prove his loyalty.
"Island Lord, forgive my presumption..."
"Though that outsider Yi Feng is arrogant, he is not to be underestimated. Beyond his fishing techniques, his other methods are equally bizarre. Somehow, he’s enhanced the strength of those who follow him!"
"Take Lu Renkuang, for example. He fled in humiliation after being defeated by his own former sixth elder, Zhao Fuquan—who only gained such power, no doubt, through Yi Feng’s influence."
"This man must have formidable backing, possibly even cultivation beyond the Fifth Tier. You must tread carefully!"
Sa Donglai nodded slightly at their advice, showing none of Lu Renkuang’s arrogance—he was clearly listening.
As he pondered, hands still behind his back, the old man’s eyes gleamed with sharp light, his confidence only growing.
"Beyond the Fifth Tier of the Celestial Rank, hm?"
"No wonder the other sects are groveling at his feet."
"But to think he can challenge me? How laughably naive! On Sunlight Island, even a dragon must coil obediently! Xu Baichuan and Luo Pengfei think they can strut around with his backing? Delusional!"
"A thousand years since my last move, and they’ve forgotten my power!"
With that, Sa Donglai slowly descended the jade steps, his aura radiating dominance!
"Very well!"
"I shall crush this man beneath my feet, turn him into my servant, and remind everyone on this island who its true master is!"
"It’s time to restore order here!"
"And those Dao-Transforming Sturgeons—they will be returned to their rightful owner!"
As his voice reverberated through the courtyard, an overwhelming pressure erupted, like a waking tiger, shaking all present into terrified submission!
Seeing the faint glow of the estate’s formation runes, everyone hastily bowed again!
"The Island Lord is wise!"
Even Elder Liu, who had been trembling in fear moments ago, now brimmed with reverence and pride!
Noticing the elder’s unwavering loyalty, Sa Donglai waved a hand in command.
"Elder Liu, you will go shortly and extend my ‘invitation’ to that outsider Yi Feng, as well as Xu Baichuan and Luo Pengfei."
Hearing the heavy emphasis on the word "invitation," Elder Liu bowed eagerly.
"As the Island Lord commands!"
"Thank you for your trust! I will ensure this matter is handled flawlessly—they will all be brought before you!"
The estate was the heart of the island’s formations. Even a cultivator beyond the Fifth Tier would find no escape here. The Island Lord intended to personally crush those fools’ arrogance!
Watching Sa Donglai stride away, Elder Liu’s eyes shone with anticipation.
The banquet had yet to begin,
but he already felt the thrill of impending vindication. With renewed vigor, he bowed again, then vanished into rippling void energy!
Before long,
Elder Liu arrived at the Snow Lake Pavilion, clasping his hands with a confident smile.
"Honored guests, the Island Lord has prepared a feast in your honor. Please accompany me!"
The moment he spoke,
Xu Baichuan and Luo Pengfei shot to their feet, their faces tense!
"The Island Lord has emerged from seclusion?"
Though they had feasted on Dao-Transforming Sturgeons for days, boosting their cultivation significantly, the decades of ingrained fear toward the Island Lord were hard to shake.
Perhaps a few more days—a few more sturgeons—might have bolstered their confidence.
But now, at the Fourth Tier Mid-Stage, they stood little chance against that old monster. The mention of a banquet only deepened their unease.
Yet in this precarious moment, Yi Feng simply rose with a grin.
"Great! Let’s go!"
Xu Baichuan and Luo Pengfei gaped in disbelief, quickly pulling him aside!
