Chapter 2296 - 2288: Lord Special Envoy of Sea God Island

"This is outright robbery!" Liu Zhi said with a bitter smile, "In the Vast Sea, this kind of phenomenon is very normal. Some powerful islands demand tributes from the surrounding islands, sometimes even up to ninety-five percent!"

"Ninety-five percent tribute!" Feng Tianyu and others were dumbfounded.

"If they demand ninety-five percent, then what do those islands use to sustain themselves?" Feng Tianyu asked.

Liu Zhi shook his head, "They don’t care what you use to sustain yourselves. Moreover, if they suddenly need some Spiritual Medicine to refine a Spirit Pill, the order will come down demanding that the subordinate islands find these Spiritual Medicines by any means within the specified time. If not completed on time, they will be penalized."

Feng Tianyu and all the Chen family’s slaves frowned. This wasn’t much different from being imprisoned in the Chen family’s Alchemy Hall to refine Spirit Pills. If they couldn’t produce the required Spirit Pills within the specified time, they would be punished.

"Who is the Island Master of Sea God Island?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

"We only know that the Island Master of Sea God Island is named Wang Yuan," Liu Zhi replied respectfully, "We’re not sure about his strength, but based on the information I’ve gathered and my judgment, this Wang Yuan should be between Supreme Third-stage and Supreme Fourth-stage."

Huang Xiaolong nodded. No wonder Wang Yuan could dominate this surrounding sea area. A master of the Supreme Third-stage or Fourth-stage would be a highly esteemed figure even within the major families of some dynasties.

For example, in the Biluo Dynasty’s Supreme Sects, Nine Heavens Sect, Annihilation Valley, and Beidou Sword Sect, many elders were only at the Supreme First Rank or Second Rank level.

"Third-stage to Fourth-stage," Huang Xiaolong murmured to himself.

With his current combat power, even without transforming into an Ancient Divine Dragon, he could easily crush an ordinary Supreme Third-stage expert.

Afterward, Huang Xiaolong asked Liu Zhi about some aspects of Sea God Island.

Though Liu Zhi didn’t know the detailed specifics of Sea God Island, through inquiries, he learned that under the command of Island Master Wang Yuan, there were about three to four hundred thousand people. As for Supreme Realm experts, there should be a few thousand.

"Holy Son, should we start preparing now?" After reporting, Liu Zhi asked for instructions.

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, "No need."

A few thousand early-stage Supreme Realm experts or even tens or hundreds of thousands wouldn’t need more than a few strokes from the four Holy Sect Guardians.

Of course, even without letting the four Holy Sect Guardians make a move, he alone should be able to handle Wang Yuan and the others.

In the following days, Huang Xiaolong didn’t "visit" the Island Master Wang Yuan of Sea God Island. Instead, he stayed in Mirage Sea City, focusing on his cultivation and using parts of the jade obtained from the Jiang Family Treasure Vault to renovate Mirage Sea City and the Mirage Sea City Mansion.

Initially, Huang Xiaolong had people broaden the main streets of Mirage Sea City, using the Tian Grid Method to divide Mirage Sea City into four areas.

At the same time, he reinforced and heightened the walls of Mirage Sea City and had the four Holy Sect Guardians fortify its defenses and reconstruct the Mirage Sea City’s Spirit Gathering Array.

With the concerted efforts of Huang Xiaolong and the others, in just ten days, Mirage Sea City had transformed entirely, looking nothing like the shabby state it was in ten days prior.

Especially the Mirage Sea City Mansion, which, with the extraction of ten thousand Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stones from the space of the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl and the choice of the best ten thousand jade stones from the Jiang Family Treasure Vault for its renovation, was brimming with Spiritual Energy.

Happily, in these ten days, many of the Chen family’s house slaves who Huang Xiaolong had rescued broke through and achieved the Supreme Realm.

Mirage Sea City was filled with joy and bustle.

One day, a group of people appeared in the sky above Mirage Sea Spirit Island.

This group was not large, only nearly a hundred people, but every one of them radiated an imposing presence, evidently all Supreme Strong People.

Nearly a hundred Supreme Realm experts, all uniformly dressed in light blue brocade robes, each carrying a war fork with the words "Sea God" on the handle.

It was clear that these Supreme Realm experts were from Sea God Island.

"This Mirage Sea Spirit Island seems to have been transformed quite well by this Liu Zhi," said Wu Chengkun, the special envoy standing at the front, smiling as he looked toward Mirage Sea City at the center of Mirage Sea Spirit Island.

When Wu Chengkun smiled, his eyebrows curved into crescent shapes, coupled with his chin bearing a three-wisped beard, giving him quite a cunning appearance.

Standing behind Wu Chengkun, a strong person from Sea God Island, Gao Songyuan laughed, "The envoy’s words are true. However, the better this Mirage Sea Spirit Island has been transformed, the more worthwhile our trip is!"

The people from Sea God Island all laughed heartily.

For an undertaking like this, there’s a lot of profit to be had.

"I hope this Liu Zhi isn’t as unwise as some past tough guys," Wu Chengkun sneered. However, when he sneered, his eyebrows also turned into crescent shapes.

"Heh, I rather hope this Liu Zhi is unwise," laughed Gao Songyuan, the strong person from Sea God Island. "That way, I can twist his head off with one hand, and then I can take over this Mirage Sea Spirit Island."

"Let’s go! Liu Zhi should know we’re here by now. Let’s head over!" said Wu Chengkun, and with that, he and the Sea God Island group flew towards Mirage Sea City.

Soon, Wu Chengkun and his group arrived above Mirage Sea City.

Looking closely at Mirage Sea City and sensing the rich Spiritual Energy, both Wu Chengkun and Gao Songyuan’s eyes lit up.

"Not bad, not bad! This Mirage Sea City has been transformed quite nicely," said Wu Chengkun with a grin, "I’m starting to like it here!"

Gao Songyuan laughed, "If the envoy likes it here, we could transform this place into one of the envoy’s palaces."

"That’s a good idea," Wu Chengkun nodded, then stood with his hands behind his back, "Now call out, tell Liu Zhi to come out and meet me."

Immediately, a master from Sea God Island shouted loudly, "The special envoy from Sea God Island is here, why aren’t the people of Mirage Sea City coming out to greet the envoy!"

However, there was no response, nor any other movement.

Wu Chengkun frowned, sneering. Liu Zhi and the others couldn’t possibly not have heard, how dare they play hard to get with him.

"Call again, if Liu Zhi still doesn’t come out, attack the city!" Wu Chengkun said lazily, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Then, kill."

Attacking the city and killing people, this was their usual approach!

"Yes, special envoy!" replied his subordinate respectfully, then shouted again, announcing that the special envoy from Sea God Island was here, demanding that everyone from Mirage Sea Spirit Island come out to greet him.

But when the voice fell, even after a few seconds, there was still no movement.

Wu Chengkun’s eyes filled with murderous intent. Just as he was about to order an attack on the city, suddenly, a light flashed in Mirage Sea City, and a group of people flew out.

However, to Wu Chengkun’s surprise, at the front of the group was a young man.

"Special envoy, that, Liu Zhi!" said one of the Sea God Island experts, pointing at Liu Zhi behind Huang Xiaolong.

Wu Chengkun’s eyes filled with suspicion and surprise.

Those who appeared were Huang Xiaolong, the four Holy Sect Guardians, Feng Tianyu, Liu Zhi, and others.
