Chapter 1212: Astonishing Figures

Black Island.

Several days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Yi Feng hadn't seen a single hair floating in from the sea. Although life was comfortable with good food and drink, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.

At this moment.

He sat quietly on a large chair, gazing absentmindedly out of the hall.

Island Master Shi Tianchuan and the others, however, grew increasingly composed, their confidence growing day by day. Seeing the unfathomable calm of the master, many even began to swell with pride, quietly discussing how victory was already within their grasp!

"Why haven't the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan made any moves yet? What's the reason for this?"

"Hehe, they must have heard of the master's divine might and dare not cause trouble on the island anymore!"

"Really? The Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan is full of powerful beings, how could they be so timid?"

"Otherwise! The master killed over a thousand fishmen with a single move, who would dare come here to die!"

"Tsk tsk, the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan is nothing special after all!"

A few people, inexplicably swelling with pride, grew more and more excited as they spoke.

The Black Island's top figures glanced at them, shaking their heads in silent disbelief.

It had only been a few days of peace, and they were already this arrogant. Although the island was united, most were shallow-minded. If not for the master's presence, this group of scattered individuals would never achieve anything significant!

Shi Tianchuan's face darkened even more.

For ten thousand years.

He had dealt with the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan several times, going through great efforts to maintain peace among the islands. He had also suffered many humiliations due to the circumstances. Others might not know the terror of Black Island, but he had experienced it deeply.

If the horrifying truth were revealed, the other islands would be terrified out of their wits!

A bunch of fools.

Relying on the master's power to achieve a small victory over the fishmen, and now they're this arrogant?

This is definitely not a good sign!

To stabilize the situation, Shi Tianchuan sternly scanned the room.

"Everyone, we must not underestimate the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan just because of a small victory!"

His tone was extremely solemn, as if the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan was far more terrifying than anyone knew!

Instantly, the room fell silent, all eyes on him.

The atmosphere grew tense!

Yi Feng was also intrigued by these words, lifting his head to look over.

"Island Master, what do you mean by that?"

Shi Tianchuan respectfully clasped his hands, his expression still serious.

"Master, please understand."

"The Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan is..."

Just as he was about to explain, an urgent report came from outside!

"Reporting to the Island Master!"

"Three reclusive grandmasters seek an audience!"

Everyone was stunned.

At such a time, reclusive grandmasters would come to Black Island?

Shi Tianchuan and Yi Feng exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise.

After a few moments of contemplation.

Shi Tianchuan coldly looked towards the person at the door.

"Who are they, and why have they come to Black Island?"

The person at the door clasped his hands respectfully, his face filled with awe.

"Reporting to the Island Master!"

"Those three seniors have an extraordinary demeanor, and I couldn't discern their origins. But they are unfamiliar faces, definitely not from any of the islands in the East Sea. They claim to be from the mainland, reclusive cultivators who have been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years!"

"Hearing that our East Sea is about to face a bloody battle, they have come to assist!"

His voice echoed, filling the room with astonishment!

"Tens of thousands of years!"

"My goodness, that's practically the level of ancestors!"

"Since they're from the mainland and call themselves cultivators, they must be our fellow humans. Who would have thought we'd be fortunate enough to meet such esteemed figures!"

"With Master Yi assisting first and these three recluses coming later, who would dare say our human race lacks powerful beings!"

"Perhaps they are old friends of the master, coming to help!"

Excited discussions spread, filling the hall with enthusiasm!

Yi Feng, however, felt a bit annoyed.

Everything was fine.

Why did three old men suddenly appear to help? This is just adding to the chaos!

Shi Tianchuan was also slightly taken aback but didn't fully trust these outsiders. He first quietly bowed to Yi Feng.

"Master Yi, those three seem to have significant backgrounds. Should we meet them?"

Hearing the question, Yi Feng could only nod slightly.

"Let's meet them."

They had come all the way across the ocean to help, and causing trouble wasn't their intention. These old men who had lived for tens of thousands of years must have extraordinary knowledge. Perhaps they could provide some high-level information.

With Yi Feng's nod of approval, the messenger excitedly left.

The entire hall.

Instantly filled with expectant smiles, though some, like Shi Tianchuan, still had a hint of suspicion in their eyes. The atmosphere became微妙!

...

Outside the hall.

Three figures waited patiently, all dressed simply, exuding the demeanor of reclusive grandmasters. Even if someone were to scrutinize them closely, it would be hard to detect the subtle unease in their eyes.

They were none other than the three great leaders of the Sea Clan!

The North Sea Emperor had changed into a gray robe, wearing a scholar's headband, resembling a pale-faced teacher. The Sturgeon Dragon Emperor was dressed in luxurious human robes, looking like the head of a wealthy family.

As for the oldest, the Crab Emperor, he was even more low-key.

With silver hair and a cane, dressed in coarse linen clothes, he could easily be mistaken for a retired woodcutter.

After a few tense moments of waiting, there was still no movement.

The North Sea Emperor grew anxious and whispered to the Crab Emperor.

"Lord Xie, do you think we'll be exposed?"

The Crab Emperor frowned upon hearing this and quickly whispered back.

"My surname is Xie, you must have mistaken me for someone else!"

The North Sea Emperor then realized his mistake and quietly clasped his hands in apology.

After some preparation.

The three had completely shed their Sea Clan identities, mentally affirming that they were humans. All past glories and histories were severed at this moment.

Just then, the guard approached with a bow.

"Three seniors, please!"

The three followed the guard, stepping forward with growing anxiety. But with tens of thousands of years of experience, they managed to maintain an air of calm under immense pressure.

Upon entering the hall.

Their extraordinary composure immediately drew the attention of everyone present!

Including Shi Tianchuan, no one could discern their cultivation levels, and many were secretly amazed!

The three were also stunned by Yi Feng.

The young man sitting alone in the highest seat, with no objections from anyone, clearly held immense prestige. His star-like eyes were calm, and his presence seemed to merge with the heavens and earth!

Such a demeanor was no less than that of the Skeleton Lord!

Truly terrifying!

Compared to him, the weak human cultivators in the hall were like mud and weeds, unworthy of even sitting in the same room!

With just one glance, the three great leaders were awestruck!

This person.

Was most likely the master of the Skeleton Lord!

The answer was almost obvious, but they dared not make a sound, fearing any slip-up that could lead to their utter destruction!

Until Shi Tianchuan respectfully clasped his hands.

"Three seniors, your righteous assistance is greatly appreciated. May we know your esteemed names and origins?"

Although it was just a mere human asking, the master was present in the hall!

The three quickly clasped their hands in return, behaving with utmost propriety.

"This old one is Xu Kun!"

"This old one is Xun Moran."

"This old one is Xie Shuilai."

After introducing themselves, the Crab Emperor at the front delivered the prepared speech.

"We three have been in seclusion in the Central Continent for many years, originally having withdrawn from worldly affairs."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, this old one had an old friend who sought refuge in the East Sea. I had long heard of the oppression our fellow humans faced, but back then, my cultivation was too weak to do anything, so I could only silently grieve and remember."

"Recently, I happened to hear of the impending battle in the East Sea. We felt our blood boil, and now that we have some cultivation, we naturally cannot stand idly by. Thus, we have come to assist!"

The spirit of righteousness still burns within us, and we old men feel the fervor of youth once more!

What a stirring tale!

As soon as these words were spoken, many in the hall clapped in approval!

Even at first meeting.

The silver-haired Crab Emperor had already won the admiration of many, and the plan was proceeding smoothly!

Taking advantage of the applause, he timely bowed to Yi Feng, who was seated above.

"Long have I heard of Island Master Shi Tianchuan's extraordinary demeanor, a true hero among human cultivators. I never expected him to be so young and accomplished. Meeting him today truly brings me great joy!"

This seemingly innocent question was extremely clever!

It both praised Yi Feng and complimented Shi Tianchuan, all while feigning ignorance. Such a well-rounded act could only be achieved with tens of thousands of years of experience!

Sure enough.

Shi Tianchuan, hearing this, clasped his hands, his expression softening.

"Senior Xie, you flatter me!"

"I am Shi Tianchuan, merely a man of some small reputation, truly ashamed!"

"This is Master Yi. Our small victory in the previous confrontation was entirely due to Master Yi's righteous assistance. Compared to him, I am truly insignificant!"

Hearing this, the Crab Emperor feigned surprise and bowed to Yi Feng again.

"So it's Master Yi, greetings to you!"

However.

After the bow, Yi Feng responded indifferently.

"Polite, polite."

Instantly!

The Crab Emperor and the other two felt a chill in their hearts, their tension skyrocketing!
