Serpent Ancestor

After joining Penglai Island, Bai Qiushui had changed significantly, though his rebellious aura remained.

”To think I’d run into someone familiar, there’s definitely something wrong here!”

Xu Hei was quite surprised and became even more convinced of his judgment.

The rugged man sitting at the head laughed, ”Haha, I don’t know what misunderstanding has arisen between us and Penglai Island, causing you two to investigate me all the way here. But since you’re here, you’re guests! Someone, please seat our guests and serve the finest food and wine!”

From the back of the house, two graceful maids emerged, setting up tables and chairs for the two and bringing out fine wine.

Lin Ziye and Bai Qiushui remained unmoved.

The rugged man said, ”You two, guests are guests, let me toast to you!”

He filled a glass with wine and raised it.

Lin Ziye’s expression didn’t change as he said coldly, ”Xie Yunfei, at this point, why are you still pretending? Don’t you have any idea why we’re here?”

The rugged man’s smile vanished instantly.

Hearing this, Xu Hei suddenly understood.

So this guy was Xie Yunfei in disguise!

Xie Yunfei was a guest elder of the Whale Hunting Gang. No wonder Ji Ying kept saying ”brain, brain.” He had previously consumed the corpses of the Whale Hunting Gang members, making him extremely sensitive to them, hence his reaction.

”I don’t understand what you’re saying,” the rugged man frowned.

Lin Ziye took a deep breath and said solemnly, ”Xie Yunfei, you killed over thirty people, looted all the docks, dug graves and robbed tombs, harassed female cultivators of the Melodic Sect, and offended every power on Star Island. Now, you’re ranked eighth on the wanted list. I advise you to surrender; maybe you can still find a way out!”

Xu Hei, hidden in the shadows, was utterly stunned.

Goodness! He couldn’t help but exclaim.

He only knew about Hei Huang’s dock looting, but he never knew Hei Huang had done so many bad things, all of which were blamed on Xie Yunfei.

Xie Yunfei’s mouth twitched. He had long heard that someone was impersonating him to commit various crimes, but he dared not show his face.

”If I say I didn’t do these things, would you believe me?”

”Whether you did it or not, we’ll know once we take you back for our elders to question!” Lin Ziye said.

Xie Yunfei fell silent.

Lin Ziye added, ”Xie Yunfei, you’re now hiding your identity and disguising yourself as a bandit to infiltrate the Wolf Fang Gang. I have reason to suspect you’re feeling guilty. If you don’t surrender now, next time, it won’t just be the two of us coming for you, but the Penglai Island enforcement team!”

Xie Yunfei’s face darkened immediately.

Xu Hei’s eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought. Although the two had reasonable motives for capturing Xie Yunfei, Xu Hei felt that things weren’t that simple.

Hei Huang’s disguise could fool most people, but it couldn’t possibly deceive all the high-ranking members of Penglai Island, especially when the act was overdone.

”Xie Yunfei, my patience is limited. You have the time of a stick of incense to consider.”

With that, Lin Ziye sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

The members of the Wolf Fang Gang exchanged glances and whispered among themselves, but since the leader hadn’t spoken, they made no moves.

Xu Hei, however, keenly noticed that Lin Ziye seemed to be secretly writing something on the ground.

After contemplating for a while, Xie Yunfei smiled bitterly, raised his glass, and said, ”Gentlemen, I’ve truly been wronged. Since you don’t believe me, I’ll go with you, hoping to clear my name and bring the impersonator to justice!”

Lin Ziye nodded, ”You must trust that the Enforcement Hall won’t wrongly execute anyone!”

After saying this, Xie Yunfei downed his drink in one go and then suddenly smashed the cup on the ground.

As the cup shattered, a gigantic formation appeared in the sky, covering the entire island like a cage, sealing it completely.

This formation was extremely advanced, nearly reaching the limits of a third-tier formation. It allowed entry but no exit, making it an excellent trap for capturing and killing enemies.

Xu Hei was also affected, with his Divine Sense range sharply reduced.

”Attack!” Xie Yunfei shouted.

In an instant, over a hundred members of the Wolf Fang Gang emerged from the shadows, each displaying their skills, with countless magical treasures and spells raining down on the two, clearly intending to kill them!

Lin Ziye remained calm and said coldly, ”Is this what you call surrendering?”

He was well-prepared. With a stomp of his foot, the word ”swallow” appeared. A golden giant python emerged from the ground beneath him, soared into the sky, and with a mighty inhale, swallowed all the magical treasures and spells.

The golden python expanded to a hundred feet, turning into a giant sphere, and flew towards Xie Yunfei’s location. The next moment, it exploded, and as Xie Yunfei retreated rapidly, he hurled a barrage of black Thunder Pearls at the two.

”It’s started, it’s started, let’s watch!” Xu Hei thought to himself.

…………

At the same time, outside the island.

Porcupine Fish, White Tooth, Xu Bai, and Qingluan had all reached the edge of the island, looking at the empty island with a hint of alarm in their eyes.

”You said Xu Hei disappeared after entering this island?” White Tooth frowned.

”That’s right, I saw him go in with my own eyes, and then he just vanished!” Porcupine Fish replied.

White Tooth’s Divine Sense swept over the island. With his Elemental Infant stage cultivation, his Divine Sense could easily cover every inch of the island, inside and out, including the seabed, leaving no detail undiscovered.

This was clearly an uninhabited island, with nothing on it!

White Tooth and the other demons landed on the island, where there were many ruined buildings, like remnants of a gang.

In the middle of the open space, there were traces of a banquet.

But the traces were from some time ago.

”According to investigations, this place used to be the activity site of the notorious pirate group ’Wolf Fang Gang,’ but a month ago, the Wolf Fang Gang disappeared, possibly relocating elsewhere.”

”Such pirate hideouts are always changing, not fixed. Sometimes a pirate group has several bases at once, which isn’t unusual,” Porcupine Fish said solemnly.

White Tooth said nothing, but anyone could see his mood was very heavy.

Xu Hei had only been here a few days and hadn’t left a soul lamp.

That meant, even if he died, no one would know.

”Dig three feet deep if you have to, but find him!”

White Tooth gave a low shout, and his tail slammed into the ground, instantly creating a ten-thousand-foot abyss.

…………

At this moment, the battle on the island had reached a fever pitch.

Lin Ziye fought against the Wolf Fang Gang, and the ground beneath him was covered in words. With a single release of a character, he could annihilate a group, but the enemies seemed endless. As one group fell, another emerged. It was unclear where the Wolf Fang Gang got so many people.

Bai Qiushui used the Diamond Suppression Technique, engaging in pure hand-to-hand combat, with a single punch capable of pulverizing a person.

Xie Yunfei also joined the battle. Both he and the leader of the Wolf Fang Gang were at the late Core Formation stage, but his methods were strange, with a constant stream of peculiar treasures, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

”Huh? Where’s Porcupine Fish?”

Xu Hei suddenly noticed a problem.

The three teams behind him were nowhere to be seen.
