Chapter 1198: One Man Shakes The Entire Island

She was pulled by Yi Feng, walking straight toward the door.

As she stepped over the threshold, her legs felt weak. She never dreamed that she could walk out of this gate unscathed.

But...

But can he really save me?

Leaving aside the terrifying Third Prince, the ancient formations of the tower, the powerful Five Elders, and the other forces on the island, including the island lord, are likely to be formidable obstacles.

Yet, as she pondered this, she realized that Yi Feng had already led her effortlessly out of the pagoda, as if there had been no resistance at all. The ancient formations seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Lu Shuyao was shocked, her heart racing.

Before she could think further, she noticed the Five Elders standing before her, disheveled and devoid of their usual dignity. The maidservants stood meekly, not daring to utter a word.

It was as if they were all turning a blind eye to her leaving the pagoda.

How could this be?

Could it be...

That they had all been defeated by Yi Feng?

To save her, Yi Feng had gone so far as to defeat the Five Elders and dismantle the ancient formations of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pagoda. What terrifying power!

Lu Shuyao was even more astonished, her beautiful eyes wide with shock.

As Lu Shuyao stood there in shock, streaks of light flew in from all directions, and several powerful auras appeared before her, like stars falling from the sky. The area in front of the pagoda was filled with an overwhelmingly terrifying presence!

All the major figures of the island had arrived!

Just facing such a lineup, Lu Shuyao's heart raced. When she saw the silver-haired old man stepping out of the void, accompanied by four stunning women, she clenched her jade-like fingers in fear.

Indeed, the Black Island Lord had been alerted!

The silver-haired old man smiled, exuding an unfathomable aura. This island lord rarely appeared, and his sudden presence today must be due to the current events.

Lu Shuyao's eyes showed fear, her heartstrings tightening instantly.

As the island lord appeared with all the major figures, dozens of figures exuding terrifying auras, Lu Shuyao felt insignificant and dared not make a sound.

Indeed, the situation had escalated!

The terrifying pressure spread, and hope seemed to be fading.

At this moment, Lu Shuyao no longer felt resentment. She had come to a realization.

Yi Feng's willingness to help in such a dire situation was an act of righteousness few could match. She could not let him risk incurring the wrath of so many. Just being able to see a glimmer of hope in the world was enough for her.

As she gritted her teeth in determination, the Black Island Lord, Shi Tianchuan, looked down with his hands behind his back, coldly eyeing the Five Elders.

"Old friends."

"The Heavenly Sacrifice is imminent. You should know how important this is. What is the reason for such a commotion at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pagoda?"

Even though it was just a casual question, the Five Elders looked grave and stepped forward to whisper in his ear.

Seeing their cautious demeanor, Yi Feng frowned slightly.

It seemed the newcomer held considerable status.

From a distance, Lu Xinlan quickly approached, her voice cautious as she transmitted her message.

"Sir."

"This is Shi Tianchuan, the lord of Black Island. All seventy-two islands of the East Sea obey his commands. No one knows the extent of his cultivation, and his methods are particularly terrifying. Please be careful."

Compared to others, Lu Xinlan was slightly more composed.

She had already resolved to follow Yi Feng to the death.

But now, facing the entire upper echelon of Black Island, including the island lord Shi Tianchuan, she couldn't hide her fear, her voice trembling.

After all, this old monster was the nominal ruler of the entire East Sea.

If the Five Elders were the foundation of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pagoda, this man was the pinnacle of the East Sea. Any major figure would have to show him utmost respect!

Yi Feng nodded upon hearing this, his eyes showing little fluctuation.

So, this was the representative of the Dragon-Mermaid Clan.

No wonder everyone around looked so wary.

Yi Feng wasn't even afraid of their master, so why would he fear their top lackey?

His calm reaction naturally caused the surrounding major figures to be suspicious.

In a few breaths, numerous divine senses probed out, only to be swallowed by an invisible aura, deepening their suspicion. All eyes were fixed on him!

After the Five Elders whispered to him, Shi Tianchuan also turned his gaze.

His calm, smiling eyes revealed no emotion.

"So, you are Sir Yi."

"Your chivalry is admirable, and I deeply respect it. However, the Heavenly Maiden Lu Shuyao is destined by fate. This is a matter of the East Sea and cannot be judged by worldly logic. I hope you will cease your actions and preserve the peace of the East Sea."

His profound words resonated, causing a slight stir among the major figures.

Shi Tianchuan was a ruthless figure who had never shown such courtesy to anyone in tens of thousands of years.

But these people were no ordinary individuals, and they quickly understood.

Yi Feng had recently gained great fame, and the dozens of divine senses that had probed him could not discern his depth. His profound cultivation spoke for itself. Such a person indeed deserved the island lord's exceptional treatment.

Seeing the delicate situation, the major figures also chimed in.

"Sir Yi, the island lord's words represent our collective hope. Please reconsider."

"Indeed, your chivalry sets an example for the world, but there are always exceptions. Surely you can understand our predicament. We hope you will stop here."

"Yes, Lu Shuyao has already been expelled from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pagoda. She is but a beautiful yet useless woman. With your status, it's not worth getting involved in this mess for her sake. Sacrificing her for the peace of the entire East Sea is a clear choice."

"Gentlemen, you speak wisely. The weight of the matter is clear, and surely Sir Yi has already considered it. There's no need for us to say more, right?"

The major figures, all holding significant power, spoke with the greater good in mind.

To these people, the life and death of an individual were as insignificant as grass. Even if it concerned thousands, it would not cause a ripple. Over the millennia, who hadn't seen scenes of blood and corpses?

Now, sacrificing a single woman was naturally trivial.

Even Lu Shuyao, hearing these words of greater good, felt bitter and helpless.

Even if she didn't want to admit it.

This was the reality!

Compared to the stability of the entire East Sea, she was truly insignificant. Any strategist would know how to make the choice.

Especially someone as terrifying as Yi Feng.

The righteousness of the world was often like this, sometimes laughably helpless. Sacrifices had to be made, and not everyone could be satisfied.

They called it heroic sacrifice.

If she didn't sacrifice herself, the East Sea would face the wrath of the Dragon-Mermaid Clan!

That would be a catastrophe!

Lu Shuyao gritted her teeth, filled with gratitude for Yi Feng's kindness, but she didn't want to put him in further danger. She resigned herself to this inevitable fate.

But little did she know.

Yi Feng hadn't thought that far!

From the beginning, Yi Feng had thrown all caution to the wind, acting without any regard for consequences. His actions were driven purely by the desire to confront the Dragon-Mermaid Clan!

Before Lu Shuyao could speak.

Yi Feng coldly scanned the crowd, his tone impatient.

"Are you all done talking?"

Huh?

Everyone was taken aback, sensing something amiss!

Under the suspicious gazes of all.

Yi Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone growing firmer!

"Today, I am taking Lu Shuyao away!"

This...

The entire crowd was stunned!

The unexpectedly firm attitude instantly shocked everyone. No one had anticipated that this man would be so unreasonable, so determined to cause trouble!

Taking Lu Shuyao away would mean endangering the entire East Sea!

Not only were the major figures of the island dumbfounded.

Even Lu Shuyao herself was shocked beyond belief. She never expected that Yi Feng would value her so much, willing to incur the wrath of so many to help her!

The scene suddenly became awkward!

Dozens of major figures surrounded them, yet none dared to act.

Even though Yi Feng stood alone with only two women by his side, his profound cultivation had already silenced the surroundings!

Finally.

Island Lord Shi Tianchuan's face darkened, and he stepped forward with a narrowed gaze.

"Sir Yi."

"I advise you not to act recklessly!"

As his deep voice resonated, the silver-haired island lord's aura surged. Even without moving, he exuded a terrifying presence, like a waking tiger, causing even the four maids behind him to feel immense pressure and retreat hastily.

The island lord was about to take action himself!

The major figures tensed up, their breathing becoming cautious!

In their wary eyes, there was both heavy pressure and a hint of curiosity about the island lord's true strength. The surrounding major figures began to retreat.

A battle was imminent!

But such a display no longer held any interest for Yi Feng.

He only wanted to fight the mermaids and had no time for these old fools. If they had the guts, they should stop talking and actually make a move!

Talking tough, huh?

Who couldn't do that!

Yi Feng also stepped forward, his eyes filled with determination!

"If you want to fight, then bring it on!"

Boom!!!

His deep voice, accompanied by a terrifying aura, spread like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing everything before him. Shi Tianchuan felt as if he had been swallowed by the sea, his mind buzzing!

This terrifying pressure immediately brought back horrifying memories.

It was almost comparable to the Dragon-Mermaid Clan!

Who exactly was this man!?

Shi Tianchuan was stunned, frozen in place, not daring to move. The surrounding major figures and holy maidens, feeling the residual pressure, were also shocked, a cold wind running down their spines!

For several breaths.

The major figures of Black Island stood frozen, completely stunned!

Watching from afar.

The island's elites who had heard the commotion were all shocked!

One man had shaken the entire island's heroes. What terrifying cultivation! Looking at the calm figure standing there, the world suddenly became eerily quiet, filled only with immense shock!

Even the holy maiden Lu Caiwei, with her hidden trump cards, stood dumbfounded on the side, her eyes wide with disbelief!
