Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 273 Zhen He Zhenren
The South China Sea is vast and boundless, and there are countless islands in the surrounding waters. Among these islands, there are thousands of islands inhabited by warrior forces, which are called the Thousand Islands of the South China Sea.

The strength of the warrior forces on each island is different, with the lowest being only one True Spirit Realm warrior, while there are also powerful islands with warriors at the Martial King Realm. Among the nearly 1,000 islands, the most powerful is Ba Shen Island. This island has a vast area and rich marine resources. Its owner, Ba Shen, has even reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, making him the leader of the Thousand Island!

Zhenlei Island is one of the Thousand Islands in the South China Sea. Although this island is not very powerful, it can only be said to be a third-rate island.

However, the island owner Zhen He Zhenren is notorious in dozens of nearby islands. Not only because his cultivation has reached the level of Martial King, and his combat power is strong, intimidating the forces of dozens of small islands around him, but also because the daughter of this island owner Zhen He Zhenren is extremely talented and has been accepted into one of the six top sects in Nanzhou. According to rumors, Zhen He Zhenren's daughter's cultivation has reached the level of Martial King, and is highly regarded among the sect's disciples!

As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

With the help of his daughter's name, Zhen He Zhenren has rapidly expanded the influence of his island in the past two years, and has even swallowed up several islands.

Although this move caused dissatisfaction among some medium-sized islands with strong strength, they were wary of the identity of Zhen He Zhenren's daughter as a core disciple of a top sect, so no island showed its dissatisfaction.

……

Dusk.

Somewhere in the South China Sea.

A huge ship with a crouching dragon pattern painted on it and a length of 40 meters was slowly sailing towards the southeast.

On the front deck of the ship, there were many figures, and a rough count showed that there were about a hundred people.

Some of these people gathered together, whispering about something, while others looked into the distance curiously.

Ye Xuan stood at the bow and looked ahead.

I don't know how long it took, but in front of the ship, a faint mist rose up. Although the mist looked thin, it completely blocked the scenery in front, which was quite strange.

"Island Master Ye, ahead is the 'Seven Mysterious Mist Formation' outside Zhenlei Island. After passing this formation, another ten miles will lead to Zhenlei Island."

A skinny young man in black clothes whispered beside Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded. This skinny young man was a warrior from the Shi family who was affiliated with the Ye family.

His name is Shishui. Not only does he practice water-based skills, his martial soul is also an extraordinary Xuan-level primary water snake martial soul.

Since Shi Shui's martial spirit is suitable for the sea, the Ye family has always sent him and several members of the Ye family to explore the situation in the surrounding sea areas.

Shi Shui has good talent and is a very smart person. After the incident two days ago, he secretly inquired and confirmed that those strange warriors were actually from Zhenlei Island.

Shi Shui is extremely meticulous and has conducted a detailed investigation of Zhenlei Island over the past two days.

At this time, he was beside Ye Xuan, extremely respectful and reserved. He understood that the Shi family was dependent on the Ye family, and they all had to obey the Ye family. During this period, the Shi family members were also suppressed by the Ye family members, and even bullied by some of the younger generations of the Ye family. This time he could show his face in front of the island owner, so he naturally would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show himself.

Looking at the mist in front of him, Ye Xuan frowned. "What's so dangerous about this 'Seven Mysterious Mist Array'? Will we be attacked by this 'Seven Mysterious Mist Array' if we go in?"

Shi Shui shook his head and said, "This 'Seven Mysterious Mist Array' is a maze that can cause warriors and ships that enter the array to lose their way. It is not dangerous at all."

Ye Xuan nodded and gestured to move forward.

Soon, the ship passed through the fog, and the view before everyone suddenly became clear.

From a long distance away, you can see a big island in front of you that looks like a giant beast.

The island was ablaze with precious lights, and there were buildings of various shapes everywhere. Among these buildings, dozens were exceptionally tall and magnificent. The tower-shaped buildings stood out on the island like a crane among chickens, like towers reaching the sky, quite spectacular.

In the middle of the island, there is a mountain thousands of feet high. On the top of the mountain, there is a majestic golden palace, overlooking the entire island.

Ye Zhan and the Ye family's great elder behind them sighed in their hearts, this is not an isolated island overseas, it is clearly a city of warriors.

"Stop." Ye Xuan gave an order, and the ship stopped in the sea.

Everyone on the ship knew that a great battle was about to begin, so they took out their weapons and stood silently behind Ye Xuan. A solemn and murderous aura gradually spread on the ship.

"Shi Shui, please tell me about the situation on the island." Ye Xuan turned to Shi Shui and said.

Shi Shuicuo paused and said, "This Zhenlei Island is about three times the size of our Wolong Island. There are nearly 20,000 warriors on the island. After decades of management by Zhen He, the entire island is densely covered with traps and formations. It is built like an iron barrel, and it can be said that every step is dangerous."

"This island is divided into regions. It can be divided into the inner island and the outer island. The inner island is inhabited by the original Zhenlei Island cultivators of Zhenhe Zhenren's lineage. The outer island is inhabited by other South China Sea independent cultivators who were recruited by Zhenhe Zhenren to join Zhenlei Island. It is also the first barrier against foreign enemies. Zhenlei Island originally had nearly thirty True Spirit Realm cultivators, and later a large number of True Spirit Realm cultivators were recruited from all over the South China Sea. According to my inquiries, there are at least nearly a hundred True Spirit Realm cultivators on the island. Island owner, please look, those tower-shaped buildings on the island are the residences of True Spirit Realm warriors, the 'Bao Ling Tower'. And the golden palace on the high mountain is the residence of Zhenhe Zhenren, the 'Xian Lei Palace'."

Shi Shui said slowly, the intelligence he had gathered was very detailed.

Hiss~~~!

But Shi Shui's words made everyone in the Ye family gasp and change color. I didn't expect that Zhenlei Island still had such strong strength! Not to mention the arrangement of the island's mechanical formations, the number of True Spirit Realm martial artists alone was appalling.

No one present thought that Shi Shui was exaggerating the enemy situation. Just by looking at the densely packed "Baoling Towers" on the island, one could judge the number of True Spirit Realm warriors on the island.

Shi Shui said solemnly, "Zhenlei Island's defense formation is also extremely powerful. It is said that it was brought back from the sect by Zhen He Zhenren's daughter three years ago. It is said that even if nearly a hundred martial king realm masters attack together, they may not be able to blast open this island defense formation in one go."

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned even uglier. Even Ye Zhan's face showed fear.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Shi Shui smiled bitterly. He was just telling them the information he had gathered. As for how to make the decision, it was still up to the Ye family to decide.

Shi Shui's expression changed, and he said, "Island Master, I have learned from the information I have inquired that today is Zhen He Zhenren's 70th birthday, and many island masters and masters from nearby islands have come to pay their respects."

Ye Zhan smiled bitterly and said to Ye Xuan, "This way, Zhen He Zhenren will have more helpers. Island Master, why don't we withdraw? Tonight we quickly pack up our clan's belongings and flee from the South China Sea Islands overnight."

The other members of the Ye family also showed signs of retreating.

Ye Xuan, however, remained calm as he said, "Is today Zhen He's birthday? I think he will receive many good treasures, which is exactly what I want."

Ye Xuan turned around and glanced at Ye Zhan and other members of the Ye family, and said, "You guys exit the fog array and wait for me."

Wow~~, Ye Xuan spread his wings of night angel and flew away into the sky.
