The next morning, in the Tianfeng sea area, the water boiled above the endless sea.
On a dragon ship that could accommodate 50 people, waves were raised from time to time and crashed heavily around the ship.
Ye Chen stood at the bow of the ship. As he looked into the distance, he saw the endless horizon. However, he felt inexplicably depressed.
There were only him, Jiu’er, and a few guards on the deck. As for King Mu and Mu Caiwei, they had already returned to the cabin.
A sea breeze that was filled with saltiness swept over from afar, causing Jiu’er, who was by his side, to hold onto the boat as she vomited endlessly.
Ye Chen reached out and patted her shoulder lightly. He secretly channeled some spiritual energy into her and asked, “How are you feeling?”
“I-I’m feeling much better, young master!”
Jiu’er finally felt less upset, but her face was still pale, “Young master, don’t you get seasick?”
“I’m alright!”
Ye Chen chuckled softly and asked, “How long will it take for us to get there?”
“Soon, about half an hour more!”
Jiu’er supported her chin with her hand and said in a slightly bored manner, “Young master, when we arrive at Spirit Fog Island later, you must definitely stay far away. Otherwise, it would be terrible if you’re hurt!”
Ye Chen was amused by what she said. He could not help but ask, “Stay far away? Is the martial gathering that intense?”
“Of course!”
Jiu’er spoke as if she was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, “Young master, you don’t know this, but every time the martial gathering is held, the five great forces, including our King Mu Fort, will send people out. The younger generation of both sides will send their powerhouses to fight. After all, this matter concerns the ownership of the Spirit Fog Island, so the battle situation is very terrifying.”
She seemed to have thought of something, and her small face was filled with fear, “I saw with my own eyes that one of the guys from the Blood Blade Sect killed the people from the Vile Valley with one slash. And that Vile Valley, I heard they like to eat human flesh…”
“In the past, it was the young mistress who participated as well?”
“No, Young Master Mu Xuanzhen participated in the past, but for some reason, he isn’t here today!”
Ye Chen immediately realized that Mu Xuanzhen resented him and Mu Caiwei because of what happened earlier.
“But I’m a little worried about the young mistress now!”
Jiu’er frowned, her little face scrunched up into a ball, “The young mistress will have to defeat the Seven Mysteries Mansion, the Blood Blade Sect, and the Vile Valley in this competition to win the qualification to challenge the City Governor’s Mansion!”
Ye Chen was surprised, “Why?”
“Because the City Governor’s Mansion was the champion of the previous martial gathering. As the champion, they only need to take challenges from the other four forces!”
Jiu’er explained patiently, “Including the King Mu Fort, the one among the four forces that wins will challenge the City Governor’s Mansion. If they won, they would obtain the management rights of the Spirit Fog Island.”
…
Half an hour later, the dragon ship successfully arrived at Spirit Fog Island.
Looking over, there were already quite a number of people on the Spirit Fog Island. They were dressed in all sorts of clothes and revealed the cultivation fluctuations in their bodies.
After King Mu walked out of the cabin, he sized up the crowd on the shore and said in a deep voice, “They’re all here!”
“Let’s go!” Mu Caiwei’s expression was cold as she led everyone to the Spirit Fog Island.
Ye Chen noticed that the aura on her body was getting more and more chaotic. Although she had become more powerful, she seemed to be losing control.
He could not help but follow her and said, “The condition of your body is a little terrible. I suggest that you sit down and circulate your qi to regulate your breathing!”
“I said it’s none of your business!”
Mu Caiwei was as cold as before.
Instead, it was King Mu who coldly glanced at Ye Chen and scoffed. He did not give Ye Chen any respect at all!
If it were not for Ye Chen, his daughter would not have angered Mu Xuanzhen earlier. If that did not happen, would Mu Xuanzhen refuse to attend the martial gathering with the excuse of being ill?
Without Mu Xuanzhen, it could be said that all the pressure had been placed on his daughter, and she had only cultivated excessively in the past few days.
Seeing that the father and daughter did not appreciate his kindness, Ye Chen could only shake his head secretly.
As they appeared, the people in the distance immediately looked over and began to discuss.
“They’re from the King Mu Fort!”
“The one walking in front is Ms. Mu, right? She is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say, but it is a pity that a piece of trash won her over!”
“It’s a no brainer that the brat behind Ms. Mu is that piece of trash? I didn’t expect him to come!”
“This is strange. In the past martial gatherings, the King Mu Fort could be said to come in full force. Why isn’t the Grand Elder Mu Sansi here today?”
“Does that mean that Mu Caiwei will be the only one from the King Mu Fort to fight? Doesn’t that mean that we have a chance to win?”
“…”
Hearing the whispers of these people, King Mu’s face turned grim. He did not say anything but led everyone to an open ground.
As far as the eye could see, on the flat ground, there were three rings that were 4.5 meters wide. Especially the one in the middle, it was almost twice the size of the other two.
A youth slowly stood on top of it. Although the youth was resting with his eyes closed, the aura emitted from his body had caused the entire region to freeze.
‘It’s him!’
A hint of surprise flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes because the young man was the one who attacked him on the day of the wedding-Situ Yu, the son of City Governor Situ Yun.
Feeling the faint pressure coming from Situ Yu’s body, Mu Caiwei’s expression changed, but it was soon replaced by determination.
At that moment, a hearty laugh resounded from the side, “Brother Mu, you’re a little slow!”
Blood Blade Sect’s sect master Feng Jingyao led a few people over slowly. Beside him was Monk Lan from the Vile Valley.
Before King Mu could speak, a grim-looking young man behind Feng Jingyao glared at Ye Chen, “You’re Shi Qianhan?”
The young man grinned, “As the rumors say, you’re useless. I didn’t expect you to have the guts to come and watch the martial gathering.”
Mu Caiwei glared at him coldly, “Feng Wu, watch your mouth!”
A skinny young man stood out from behind Vile Valley’s Monk Lan, “Ms. Mu, although Brother Feng’s words are a little harsh, he’s telling the truth, right?!”
The skinny young man was as thin as skin and bones, but no one dared to underestimate him!
It was because he was the No. 1 person amongst the younger generation of the Vile Valley—Fan Hou. It was said that this person was also at the peak of innate stage, and he was known as the Bloody Hand Butcher.
Not only was this person powerful, the most terrifying thing was that the cultivation technique he cultivated seemed to be related to cannibalism. It was rumored that when he killed an opponent, he would eat their corpse.
Feng Wu chuckled, “If Ms. Mu thinks that I’m wrong, Brother Shi can challenge me. I’ll apologize to him personally if he wins!”
The few elders witnessed the entire process. However, they realized that Ye Chen had no expression on his face the entire time.
King Mu waved his sleeves and interrupted their conversation. He said in a deep voice, “Alright, everyone is here. Let’s begin!”
The next morning, in the Tianfeng sea area, the water boiled above the endless sea.
