Chapter 655: Heaven-Reaching Island

"Master, one of them escaped!"

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc traversed the sky and landed beside Ye Wushuang. It glanced at the captured Black-Winged Youth. In the end, Wuxi of the Four Poison Young Masters had managed to escape.

Ye Wushuang said nothing, turning to look at Jiao Peng.

At this moment, Jiao Peng's entire body was tinged with black. His aura was chaotic, and his True Essence was dissipating!

"Brother Peng!"

Jiao Wei and the others quickly approached, looking at Jiao Peng with concern.

It wasn't that Jiao Peng was weak. It was because Wuxi and his group had the Jade Box, exploiting his weakness and holding him back.

Jiao Peng knew how incredibly important the Nether Life Pill was to him and the Flood Dragon Clan, so he could only endure their taunts.

"I'm fine... COUGH, COUGH!"

Jiao Peng gestured to the group. He coughed incessantly, spitting up mouthfuls of black blood, which made everyone even more worried.

"Thank you for your help. The Flood Dragon Clan will never forget your great kindness!"

Jiao Peng walked up and cupped his fist to Ye Wushuang in a bow. If Ye Wushuang hadn't intervened, they would not have obtained the Nether Life Pill today and might have even died here.

"You're poisoned!"

Ye Wushuang's brow furrowed upon seeing this.

The Dragon Cat emerged from the Chaos Space and stood on Ye Wushuang's shoulder, saying, "This kid's been poisoned by that bat. He needs bat blood to cure it."

Hearing the Dragon Cat's voice, Jiao Wei and the others looked over. When they saw the pair of dragon horns on the Dragon Cat's head, their eyes narrowed.

Flood Dragons have no horns; only True Dragons do. Could this cat before them be...?

"What are you looking at? Lord Cat isn't interested in little female dragons." Seeing Jiao Wei look over, the Dragon Cat stroked its horns with a paw and tossed out the comment.

Jiao Wei's pretty face flushed slightly. 'This cat is such a rogue!'

"Let's deal with the poison first," Ye Wushuang said to Jiao Peng, ignoring the creature. Then, with a grasp through the air, there was a RIP, and he tore the pair of fleshy wings right off the Black-Winged Youth.

Aaaargh!

The Black-Winged Youth screamed in agony as blood splattered everywhere!

This immediately made Jiao Weii and the others' eyelids twitch. 'Brutal. This young man before us is an absolutely ruthless character!'

Before, Ye Wushuang had been free-spirited and magnanimous, but now he was vicious and deadly. They couldn't quite adjust to the change.

However, seeing the bat blood rain down, Jiao Peng knew this was his chance. He strode forward and let the countless drops of blood fall upon him, creating a SIZZLING sound.

"Ye Wushuang, the Ancient Blood Physique of my Half-Demon Race will surely suppress you!"

The Black-Winged Youth roared in pain.

Ye Wushuang turned his head and gave a disdainful smile. 'These people relied on their numbers and superior Cultivation to act arrogant, thinking it was fun to toy with others. Now that the tables have turned and their lives are in my hands, I doubt they ever imagined this outcome.'

"The Ancient Blood Physique? If I ever encounter it, I will crush it under my foot!"

Ye Wushuang said indifferently as the Golden Holy Feather shredded the Black-Winged Youth's body!

'An Ancient Blood Physique... what is there for me to fear?'

HNNG!

On the side, bathed in bat blood, the blackness on Jiao Peng's body gradually faded. The poison was gone.

"Are you from Heaven-Reaching Island?"

Only after Jiao Peng had recovered did Ye Wushuang retract his gaze and ask.

His destination this time was Heaven-Reaching Island.

"The few of us are from the Flood Dragon Clan of Flood Dragon Hall on Heaven-Reaching Island!" Jiao Peng nodded, then immediately asked, "Are you here for the Sea Festival, like all the others?"

"Are there many others who have come here?"

Ye Wushuang's heart stirred. He had a bad feeling.

"That's right. The Sea Festival of the Three Thousand Seas has begun, and the Heart of the Sea God has appeared. The Heart of the Sea God contains Divine Power. If one can obtain it, it can greatly stimulate their bloodline and enhance their physique in a heaven-defying way. Therefore, it has attracted all the major physiques from the Grand Emperor Domain."

Jiao Peng's explanation confirmed Ye Wushuang's suspicions!

He wasn't the only one who wanted to obtain the Divine Power; many others did as well.

"I suppose those members of the Half-Demon Race from earlier were also here to participate. I don't know why they tried to kill us."

Jiao Weii thought of Wuxi and became furious.

"Heh heh, that guy who escaped is a half-demon poisonous snake. The Flood Dragon Blood of your Flood Dragon Clan can elevate his bloodline level. Why do you think he would want you dead?"

The Dragon Cat muttered.

"So that's why!"

Hearing the Dragon Cat's explanation, the group finally understood.

"It's a shame that bastard got away!"

Jiao Peng was annoyed and also worried. If Wuxi were to enter Heaven-Reaching Island and attack other members of the Flood Dragon Clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

'I have to get back quickly!'

'And the Clan Leader's injuries need to be treated as soon as possible!'

With this in mind, Jiao Peng turned to Ye Wushuang and said, "Young Master Ye, since you're going to Heaven-Reaching Island, why don't you join us?"

"Very well."

Ye Wushuang nodded. This was a perfect opportunity to learn about the situation on Heaven-Reaching Island from them.

The group then left the area.

...

Heaven-Reaching Island was the largest island in the Three Thousand Seas.

Legend had it that this island had fallen from the Outer Heaven and possessed a massive Spirit Vein. As a result, countless members of the Sea Race had settled here, forming various influences over time.

The Flood Dragon Hall was one such influence among the many Sea Races.

Within the Flood Dragon Hall, the Flood Dragon Clan Leader, Jiao Ming, was a Pseudo-Saint Powerhouse. This allowed the Flood Dragon Hall to stand out on Heaven-Reaching Island, becoming one of the foremost Major Influences.

However, some time ago, he was sneak-attacked by the Mad Shark Clan Leader. His foundation was injured, and he now faced the danger of his clan being annexed.

After arriving at Heaven-Reaching Island, Ye Wushuang followed Jiao Peng and the others to the Flood Dragon Hall.

"Brother Ye, this is the Flood Dragon Hall."

When Ye Wushuang arrived at a bay on the north side of Heaven-Reaching Island, he saw magnificent, golden-roofed palaces standing on the water's surface. They resembled a Dragon Hall in the middle of the sea, projecting an air of grandeur and majesty!

A long bridge stretched out endlessly, as if spanning the entire sea.

Jiao Peng led Ye Wushuang across the long bridge toward the palaces. However, when they were about halfway there, his brow furrowed slightly.

It wasn't just Jiao Peng; Jiao Wei and the others also frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Wushuang also noticed that something was off with Jiao Peng and his group.

"Brother Ye, you may not know this, but this bridge is always guarded by Flood Dragons. But today, there isn't a single one in sight," Jiao Peng said, puzzled.

"Brother Peng, maybe someone's just slacking off,"

Jiao Wei grumbled cutely.

"I hope so." Jiao Peng's brow remained heavy as he quickened his pace.

Ye Wushuang glanced at the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc beside him and followed.

In a short while, they reached the main gate of the Flood Dragon Hall. Only by passing through this gate would they be in the true Flood Dragon Hall.

However, when Ye Wushuang stepped through the gate, all he saw were the palaces standing in the shallow sea before him. He didn't see a single member of the Flood Dragon Clan!

"Why isn't there a single soul in sight?"

Jiao Peng's brow sank further.

But just as they were feeling puzzled, the gate behind them suddenly slammed shut.

RUMBLE, RUMBLE!

From the distant palaces, figures with powerful auras strode through the air, surrounding Ye Wushuang and his group.

"Trespassers in the Flood Dragon Hall will be killed without mercy!"

A cold voice boomed through the void!

Following that, a middle-aged figure crossed the sky and landed in front of everyone.

"Great Elder, it's us."

Seeing the newcomer, Jiao Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"Great Elder, these two are my friends. They have shown great kindness to our Flood Dragon Clan. They are not enemies," Jiao Peng also explained to the man.

Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Flood Dragon Clan looked at Ye Wushuang and his companion. A murderous light suddenly shot from his eyes. "Seize these two! If they resist, kill them on the spot!"
