By the side of a blue jade platform, an old man in black robes sat cross-legged, with dozens of blue jade plates of various sizes floating around him, gently undulating from time to time.

At that moment, one of the jade plates suddenly trembled, and a strange light flashed across its surface.

The old man immediately opened his eyes and looked at the jade plate, his white eyebrows twitching slightly.

"Elder Chu, what's wrong?" A voice sounded, and a figure emerged from the darkness of the secret room, dressed in black brocade robes and wearing a feathered crown. It was none other than Lu Jun, the Blackwind Island Lord.

Over the years, he seemed unchanged, his dignified face still full of authority.

"Reporting to the Island Lord, someone just passed through the city's protective formation," the black-robed elder said with a frown.

"Passed through? Did someone crack the formation's restrictions?" Lu Jun asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Not cracked, but rather, they used a very special escaping technique to directly traverse through," the black-robed elder said slowly.

"Traverse through?" Lu Jun frowned.

"It should be a secret technique that can manipulate the power of space. Although your city's protective formation can block ordinary escaping techniques, it doesn't have spatial restrictions and isn't perfect, so it's normal for it to be traversed," another voice sounded, and another figure walked out of the darkness.

If Han Li were here, he would probably recognize this person at a glance. It was none other than the sword-browed middle-aged man from the group during the day.

"I haven't heard of such a method before. Perhaps it's because the Blackwind Sea Area is remote and I, Lu, am ignorant," Lu Jun said to the newcomer, the authority on his face diminishing slightly, replaced by a hint of respect.

"Such secret methods are not common even outside. I didn't expect to encounter one here," the sword-browed middle-aged man said.

"Could it be someone from Greenplume Island?" the black-robed elder on the side asked.

"It shouldn't be. I've been fighting openly and secretly with True Person Qingyu for so many years, and even he wouldn't be capable of such a divine ability. Otherwise, things wouldn't have been so peaceful all these years. I estimate it's the work of some cultivator who teleported in from the outside today," Lu Jun said thoughtfully.

"Hopefully, this person has nothing to do with Greenplume Island and is just here in the Blackwind Sea Area out of curiosity," the black-robed elder said, nodding.

"Regardless, this person is not one of us. Having someone who can freely traverse the city's protective restrictions isn't a good thing," Lu Jun said, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Island Lord Lu, there's no need to worry too much. I happen to have a set of restrictions containing the power of space. Daoist Chu can add them to the city's protective formation," the sword-browed middle-aged man said, flipping his hand and taking out a stack of silver array flags and disks, handing them to the black-robed elder.

The black-robed elder felt a faint spatial power emanating from them, his eyes lighting up. He hurriedly took the array tools, examining them carefully.

"In that case, I thank Daoist Feng," Lu Jun said, his face also showing joy, clasping his hands.

"These are all small matters, no need to worry about them. How is that matter coming along?" the middle-aged man surnamed Feng asked, changing the subject.

"Since receiving the message, I immediately sent people to strengthen the defenses, determined not to let those from Greenplume Island get their hands on even a shred of it," Lu Jun said in a deep voice.

"The people of Greenplume Island are not worth mentioning. The key is the Samsara Temple. If the Samsara Temple is really involved behind Greenplume Island, it will be troublesome. We cannot be careless!" the middle-aged man surnamed Feng said solemnly.

"Daoist Feng, rest assured," Lu Jun nodded.

The middle-aged man surnamed Feng hummed, gave a few more instructions, and then turned and walked away.

The two of Lu Jun maintained an attitude of high-handedness from beginning to end, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction, as if all this was perfectly normal.

"Island Lord, I can watch over this place alone. You should go back and rest first," the black-robed elder said.

Lu Jun shook his head, looking at the blue jade platform, a hint of worry showing in his expression.

"Are you worried about Miss Yuqing?" the black-robed elder raised an eyebrow, asking this.

"Alas, I'm always a little worried about Yuqing's departure from the island this time," Lu Jun sighed, saying.

"Miss Yuqing also wants to share your worries. Moreover, Liulan Island is not far from Blackwind Island. Miss's cultivation has greatly improved in recent years, so there shouldn't be any problems," the black-robed elder said with a smile.

Lu Jun seemed to feel a little more at ease upon hearing this, nodding.

……

In a sea area more than 100,000 miles outside Blackwind Island, golden lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the void, and then condensed into a golden lightning array.

In the center of the lightning array, Han Li's figure emerged amidst the intertwining electric light.

He took a deep breath of the moist, salty sea breeze that rushed towards him, and the expression on his face also relaxed a bit.

He didn't stay here for long. After pausing briefly, he flipped his hand and took out a jade slip and pressed it against his forehead. It was the map of the Blackwind Sea Area he had purchased back then.

After a while, he put away the jade slip, then his figure swayed, and he flew away into the distance.

According to the information he had obtained earlier, this area near Blackwind Island was not very peaceful now. Although with Han Li's current cultivation, he naturally didn't need to worry about anything, he still kept a low profile as much as possible, carefully concealing his figure, and didn't fly too fast.

The night quickly passed, and the eastern sky gradually brightened. A red sun rose in the east, and countless golden scales appeared on the sea surface, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

Speaking of which, the Blackwind Sea Area was Han Li's first stop after returning to the Immortal World, so he had a special feeling for this place, as if it were his hometown in the Immortal World. Therefore, this ordinary sunrise scene also felt quite special to him.

But at this moment, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look to the side, a hint of surprise flashing in the depths of his eyes, and he immediately stopped his escape light.

Because, according to his spiritual sense, the spiritual energy was fluctuating violently several thousand miles away in that direction, and it seemed that two groups of cultivators with considerable strength were fighting.

After hesitating slightly, he still urged his escape light to speed towards there.

However, as he flew, his figure slowly became transparent, and the green light on his body also disappeared without a trace, and his whole person turned into a faint, almost invisible shadow.

With Han Li's current escape speed, the distance of several thousand miles passed in an instant, and he arrived near the two groups of people.

His figure swayed, and he directly hid in a white cloud in mid-air, looking down.

Below, the sea surface was surging with towering waves, and various colors of spiritual light soared into the sky, with bursts of explosions and roaring sounds.

One side of the two groups of cultivators was dressed in Blackwind Island attire, with five people, including two Grand Ascension stage cultivators and three Core Formation stage cultivators.

One of the Grand Ascension stage cultivators was a girl of about twenty years old, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, driving a blue feather fan woven from feathers. With each fan, a gust of blue gale would rise.

The other Grand Ascension stage cultivator was a yellow-faced middle-aged man who looked a bit gaunt. A blue mirror hovered above his head, and from time to time, thick blue beams of light shot out from it.

The three Core Formation stage cultivators mainly surrounded the girl, each driving their magical treasures, seemingly intending to protect the girl.

Confronting these Blackwind Island people were two cultivators in blue robes and feather robes.

Although the Blackwind Island side had the advantage in numbers, they were at an absolute disadvantage at the moment, because one of the two Greenplume Island cultivators, a bald man with a fleshy wart on his head, was a True Immortal Realm cultivator.

At this moment, a black banner was floating in front of him, with a black god pattern on the banner surface, which looked very much like the legendary God of Thunder.

Under the urging of his hands, black lightning bolts emerged from the black banner, spreading out around it, forming a sea of black lightning.

Thick black lightning bolts flew out from the sea of lightning, easily shattering all the attacks of the Blackwind Island people, and forcing the five of them to retreat again and again.

The other person next to him looked old with white hair, with a goatee beard on his chin, and exuded the aura of a Grand Ascension stage cultivator.

The old man drove two yellow spear magic weapons, turning them into two yellow earth dragons, spewing out clusters of loess-colored light balls the size of millstones, assisting the bald man from the side.

Han Li's eyes looked at the girl, revealing a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

This girl was none other than Lu Yuqing, the daughter of the Blackwind Island Lord, whom he had met once.

"Miss Lu, I didn't expect that as the only successor to Blackwind Island, you would dare to leave Blackwind Island. Should I say you are brave, or don't know how to die?" the bald man sneered again and again, pinching his fingers and pointing.

Boom!

The light of the sea of lightning around him suddenly rose, and thick lightning bolts flew out from it, quickly converging and flashing into five giant thunder snakes hundreds of feet long, wagging their heads and tails and pouncing towards the five people.

Lu Yuqing's face changed, she shouted娇, and the blue feather fan flew back into her hand, and the feather fan's spiritual light burst forth, with each feather fully unfolded, and she fanned it fiercely.

A whistling sound rose greatly, and a deep blue hurricane gushed out from the feather fan, covering the five giant thunder snakes.

In the giant peak, countless blue light filaments could be vaguely seen. The thunder snakes were covered by the blue hurricane, and their movements immediately became much slower.

The yellow-faced middle-aged man on the side quickly pinched his fingers, and the blue mirror in front of him suddenly burst into light, expanding to the size of tens of feet.

An incomparably thick blue beam of light spewed out, covering the four thunder snakes, and overwhelming cold air emanated from the blue beam of light.

Ka-cha!

With a flash of blue light, the light beam turned into a huge blue iceberg, freezing the four thunders inside.

"Miss Yuqing, go quickly! We'll hold him back!" the yellow-faced man shouted loudly to Lu Yuqing when he saw this situation.

At the same time, he pinched his fingers fiercely, and the blue mirror flashed light one after another, spewing out thick blue beams of light, hitting the two people on the opposite side.

The other three Core Formation stage cultivators also showed a resolute color, frantically urging their magic weapons, and attacking the two Qingyu Island people.

A look of struggle appeared in Lu Yuqing's eyes, and then she gritted her teeth sharply, turned her body, and turned into a green escape light and shot away into the distance.

"Humph! Still want to leave!" the bald man sneered, and changed the magic formula in his hand.

The thunder snakes in the iceberg shone with lightning, and suddenly exploded, turning into thick lightning that exploded, tearing the blue iceberg easily.

After tearing the blue iceberg, the black lightning did not stop at all, interlacing into a thunder and lightning net, covering the yellow-faced man and others with extremely swiftness.

Chī lālā!

Several people were covered by the lightning net, and electric arcs immediately窜 on their bodies, and their whole bodies were immediately charred black.

The goat-bearded old man took advantage of the bald man to trap the four people, and his body immediately turned into a yellow light and chased after Lu Yuqing.
