"Ah!"
Yi Hua let out a pig-like scream.
Ling Fan casually tossed Yi Hua towards Giant Whale City.
The experts of Giant Whale City looked at Ling Fan as if a pack of hungry wolves were about to devour him.
However, Ding Hui gave Ling Fan a deep look and stopped them.
"Let's go!"
A group of people turned and left.
"Hahaha, weren't you all arrogant? Why are you leaving so silently! This isn't like your bandit ways in Giant Whale City. So you have days when you're cornered too, yo yo yo, how pathetic."
Toad looked at the backs of the Giant Whale City experts and laughed sarcastically.
"Damn it, this toad!"
The footsteps of the Giant Whale City experts involuntarily paused, their faces so grim they could drip water.
But in the end, they still left.
"This time, we have thanks to Guest Official Ling."
Xuan Sheng cupped his hands towards Ling Fan.
"Island Master, you are too kind. I receive my salary, so I should naturally do my humble part. Moreover, Giant Whale City cruelly injured my friend, how could I, Ling, stand by and do nothing."
"Guest Official Ling is simply a peerless prodigy! He defeated two Golden Core experts from Giant Whale City consecutively, reclaiming all the face we lost before!"
An expert from Xuan Yue Island exclaimed sincerely.
"Before, the Second Miss said Guest Official Ling was powerful, but we didn't believe her. Seeing him today, we realize our ignorance. Please, Guest Official Ling, do not hold it against us."
"Yes, we are truly ashamed!"
Many guest official experts showed shame on their faces.
Ling Fan did not dwell on these matters with them.
On the other side.
Li Mobing and Xuan Ye remained silent. Li Mobing looked at Ling Fan with deep envy.
Xuan Ye clenched his fists so tightly they crackled.
He felt that his status on Xuan Yue Island was severely threatened by Ling Fan.
He, the Young Island Master, was originally the most dazzling prodigy on Xuan Yue Island, the future Island Master. But now, in front of Ling Fan, his own brilliance seemed to dim.
This was something the always self-important Xuan Ye could not tolerate.
"Just you wait, I will eventually drive you out. Xuan Yue Island cannot have anyone more outstanding or dazzling than me, Xuan Ye!"
Xuan Ye thought hatefully.
...
At sea outside Xuan Yue Island.
The sea surface rippled, and the waves surged.
A group of experts stood on the sea, looking back at Xuan Yue Island.
It was the departing group from Giant Whale City.
When they arrived, their aura was overwhelming and their momentum aggressive. However, when they left, they were silent and dejected.
This was a stark contrast to their arrival.
Jing Miao had his leg broken.
Yi Hua's cultivation had been crippled.
Losing two Golden Core experts at once was a price even Giant Whale City could barely afford.
"City Lord, you must avenge me! If Xuan Yue Island is not slaughtered for three days and three nights, my hatred will not be appeased!"
Yi Hua's face was like a vengeful ghost, his eyes filled with endless hatred.
He had gone from a proud mid-stage Golden Core Martial Lord to a complete cripple, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell. The hatred within him could not be washed away even by all the waters of the three rivers and four seas.
On the other side, although Jing Miao's situation was slightly better than Yi Hua's, his strength was also greatly diminished. He gritted his teeth and said, "Originally, Xuan Yue Island's morale was already heavily suppressed by us, but because this brat surnamed Ling interfered and ruined our plans, we must make him pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold for this debt!"
Behind them.
Fan Bai cowered, afraid to speak. It seemed that just remembering Ling Fan's appearance made him tremble with fear.
The slap on Xuan Yue Sea had completely crushed his spirit, leaving him with a lifelong psychological scar.
Seeing Jing Miao and Yi Hua's miserable state now, he felt a touch of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, he was smart and didn't stubbornly confront Ling Fan back then, otherwise, he would probably have become a corpse by now!
This kid was a monster.
Ding Hui, the City Lord of Giant Whale City, stood with his hands behind his back, his expression grim, squinting in the direction of Xuan Yue Island.
He said, "Don't rush. I will devour Xuan Yue Island sooner or later! No one can stop this. The appearance of this brat is just an accident, it won't change anything. His strength is at most comparable to a mid-stage Golden Core realm. I have already broken through to the late-stage Golden Core realm. Even if he and Xuan Sheng join forces, I am confident I can suppress and kill them."
"Moreover, to be on the safe side, I will also invite a powerful expert to act."
The City Lord of Giant Whale City sneered.
A Giant Whale City expert asked, "May I ask, City Lord, whom have you invited?"
"Black Water Martial Lord."
Speaking this name, the City Lord of Giant Whale City's expression became solemn, as if he was both wary of and respected this person.
Upon hearing this name, the other Giant Whale City experts gasped in shock.
"Is it that Black Water Martial Lord ranked twenty-first on the Eastern Lin Continent's Martial Lord Ranking!"
"Yes."
The City Lord of Giant Whale City nodded proudly.
"My goodness, that's a top-tier expert at the peak of the Golden Core realm! Moreover, I heard he is the Third King of the Three Kings Hall. City Lord, your influence is too great to be able to invite this esteemed guest."
"With Black Water Martial Lord joining, why worry that Xuan Yue Island won't be destroyed! Moreover, we won't have to pay any price to flatten Xuan Yue Island."
The experts of Giant Whale City immediately gained immense confidence, looking as if they had already secured Xuan Yue Island.
Some hesitated and said, "City Lord, Black Water Martial Lord is indeed powerful, but... the problem lies precisely here. You know the saying, it's easier to invite a god than to send one away. Black Water Martial Lord can destroy Xuan Yue Island, but he might not hesitate to destroy us as well."
As this person spoke, others immediately fell into thought.
Clearly, this statement struck their worries.
Because Black Water Martial Lord was too strong!
They feared that Black Water Martial Lord might pull a fast one on them.
It was estimated that all the experts of Giant Whale City combined might not be able to deal with Black Water Martial Lord.
After all, this person was a super expert on the Martial Lord Ranking, belonging to the most elite tier of Martial Lords.
Furthermore, if Black Water Martial Lord brought experts from the Three Kings Hall with him, then their Giant Whale City would truly be inviting a wolf into the fold.
The City Lord of Giant Whale City said, "Your worries, have I not considered them? But this time, you don't need to worry. The situation you speak of will not happen. The Three Kings Hall is currently facing pressure from the Eastern Lin Dynasty, so they cannot spare more experts to deal with us. Black Water Martial Lord being able to come is already the limit."
"Moreover, I have promised him that after destroying Xuan Yue Island, the Sun Moon Spirit Pond will belong to him. We only need to annex Xuan Yue Island's forces. He will gain the greatest benefit from Xuan Yue Island, and as for other things, they are mere trifles in his eyes. He will not risk mutual destruction with us for a small profit to harm us."
"As far as I know, Black Water Martial Lord cultivates the Water Law, and the Sun Moon Spirit Pond attracts him far more than anything else. That is why I am so confident in daring to scheme with a tiger."
The City Lord of Giant Whale City said confidently.
"City Lord is wise!"
The other experts of Giant Whale City had their doubts dispelled.
The experts exuded heaven-shattering auras, their gazes fierce, like a pack of hungry wolves staring at a piece of fat meat.
"Then Xuan Yue Island is doomed this time, haha! We have fought with Xuan Yue Island for so many years, and we will finally get to devour this treasure land."
