Therefore, this remains a secret for the Nanhai Jianghu, but for them, it is as clear as day:

"Thus, even if the Eight Sects are drawn here to hunt us down, they might not catch up to us.

"I know them very well... The Eight Sects are not united in heart, especially since the Li Clan is on our side. They’re also waiting on this island.

"Even if someone comes, it won’t be a gathering of all Eight Sects.

"If only one or two sects come, it might not even be their full force.

"In such a situation, the Li Clan’s great ship can easily swallow them all up.

"So it’s better if they don’t come, but even better if they do!"

"I see."

The young man nodded continuously.

Then Xiangtian Sect sighed:

"What a pity, Mu Tianye, that despicable person, has now gained prominence and loves to boast.

"I referred to the headquarters as a branch and told him, yet he didn’t spread this information among the Eight Sects.

"Gathering the power of the Eight Sects, they could be wiped out in one move.

"Instead, he merely brought over a hundred warships here..."

The young man smiled slightly:

"In that case, it’s not so bad... Mu Tianye thinks he’s clever. After meeting Su Mo, he reorganized the Qianbu, assuming he could disrupt the plans, not knowing that the Division Leader is highly capable and has already seen through his minor tricks.

"Now he has just harmed himself with his own schemes."

Xiangtian Sect’s expression was complex as he gently shook his head:

"If Su Mo hadn’t deceived me so deeply and Mu Tianye hadn’t gained prominence...

"At such a time, why would I need to struggle like this?

"They want me to perish forever, so I can only make them... die first!"

After he said this, the young man bowed and took his leave.

He said he couldn’t stay here for long, otherwise Mu Tianye might become suspicious.

Xiangtian Sect waved him off, allowing him to leave as he sat quietly in the cabin awaiting.

All he needed was half a day to change the situation, and he would again be the esteemed leader of Qianbu.

A despicable person may gain prominence for a while but cannot remain so forever.

"Wait and see, after half a day, how I’ll deal with you!!"

Xiangtian Sect took a deep breath, then closed his eyes.

Little did he know that at this very moment, the young man who had just been speaking sincerely with him was whispering everything to Mu Tianye.

Mu Tianye nodded lightly:

"How is Old Xin?"

"Still alive."

The young man smiled and said, "Without the Hall Master’s orders, how could he die?"

"Mmm."

Mu Tianye chuckled: "If that’s the case, then send the message."

"Yes, I take my leave."

The young man said this and then turned around to leave.

He used Qinggong to return to his ship and then began sending messages through special means.

The storm raged, and the heavy rain poured down not ceasing for half a day.

And by this time, an island appeared vaguely through the torrential rain in front of the Qianbu disciples.

Before they could get too close,

Several warships already set sail from the shore.

All were experts aboard the ships, and in the torrent, someone shouted:

"Dragon King Hall Qianbu? Without notice, why have you come here?"

"No nonsense! Qianbu is ordered to eliminate Dark Dragon Hall! Those ahead, stop your ships and meet death; if you surrender, you might be spared, otherwise... don’t blame us for our ruthless actions."

"Outrageous!!"

Someone from the opposing ship immediately shouted in anger:

"Dragon King Hall and Dark Dragon Hall are one. Why are you annihilating Dark Dragon Hall? Who gave such a chaotic order?"

However, Qianbu no longer wished to argue. At once, a flag order was issued, and a hundred warships immediately changed their formation.

As the flags changed, they charged headlong towards the opponent.

"Not good!!"

Dark Dragon Hall disciples exclaimed in astonishment: "It’s the Qianbu’s Heavenly Arrow Formation! Once involved in the formation, outnumbered, we’ll surely die!"

Several ships quickly turned their heads, trying to escape.

However, with the advantage of the wind’s force, Qianbu warships sped forward at an unusual speed, and in an instant, they closed in.

Dark Dragon Hall hurriedly turned about, but one of their ships was fiercely struck against the hull by another ship.

Once boarding was achieved, Dragon King Palace Disciples flew aboard. Landing on Dark Dragon Hall’s ship, they formed the Heavenly Element Formation.

With fewer people, they formed small formations; with more, large formations; and with enough, the Heavenly Arrow Formation.

Several small formations combined, slaughtering Dark Dragon Hall’s disciples, leaving them fleeing in disarray.

All the way from the sea, they pressed to the shore.

Any surviving Dark Dragon Hall disciples leapt toward the island.

Mu Tianye didn’t rush in but left some disciples to guard the ship while the rest formed formations on the shore.

Xiangtian Sect was also brought out, following beside Mu Tianye.

The group formed the Heavenly Element Formation and headed into the island.

Chasing along the way, they saw few people.

Mu Tianye’s brows furrowed slightly, asking:

"Just now, in the boarding battle, how many were on the enemy’s ship?"

"Not many were seen."

Someone immediately responded.

During this question and answer, Xiangtian Sect noticed Mu Tianye’s face suddenly change.

He immediately realized they’d been found out.

Without hesitation, he suddenly raised his palms and struck them fiercely towards Mu Tianye.

The two sudden strikes caught him off guard. Although Mu Tianye had gained the Qianbu legacy and advanced rapidly in martial arts, he still fell short compared to Xiangtian Sect.

After two strikes, he couldn’t help but retreat repeatedly.

Pointing his finger, he accused: "Xiangtian Sect... it’s you! You’ve lured me to this island with sinister intentions! Such audacity! Aren’t you afraid the Hall Master will kill you?"

"Su Mo, an ignorant brat, not understanding the dangers of Jianghu, really thinks he’s comfortably seated on the Dragon King Hall Master’s throne?"

Xiangtian Sect laughed heartily: "Today I send you on your way, and another day I’ll behead Su Mo."

As he said this, a voice called from afar:

"Lord Xiang, why bother with words, just kill him."

Mu Tianye looked towards the voice and heard footsteps approaching.

All around, a large number of troops emerged.

Apart from the Dragon King Hall disciples holding up the Li Clan’s banner, there were countless Dark Dragon Hall disciples.

Xiangtian Sect chuckled and clasped his fists lightly toward Ling Hua Bai, the Li Clan Leader:

"Brother Ling Hua."

"Lord Xiang, it’s been too long."

Ling Hua Bai smiled slightly, his gaze scanning over Mu Tianye and his group, then waved his hand:

"Kill them."

The Li Sect disciples exchanged glances, answered affirmatively, and prepared to charge.

But at that moment, streaks of fire suddenly shot into the sky.

Sparks flared up in seven directions.

The sparks marked the positions of the Dragon King Hall’s seven divisions.

Xiangtian Sect and Ling Hua Bai exchanged glances, both turning pale:

"Eight Demonic Punishment Orders!!"

If viewed from above, a fleet of large ships could be seen approaching from all directions.

Packed densely, thousands of warships encircled the tiny island, leaving no escape whatsoever.

At that moment, Mu Tianye exhaled, smiling slightly:

"Thanks to Lord Xiang for leading the way; otherwise, this place would be quite hard to find."
