Chapter 1057 - 1056: Inviting Wolves Into the House

"Vajra Temple's Flora!"

Du Gang was initially taken aback, then immediately recognized this elegant monk.

The crowd erupted into more astonishment and excitement.

They had put in so much effort, and finally, it wasn't in vain; they managed to reach the other party.

Flora's ability to enter this island so easily also meant they had hope of leaving this sea region!

However.

Before anyone could speak.

A sight appeared: the void trembled, and then another figure emerged, shrouded completely in flames. Almost as soon as he appeared, the island—originally like a paradise of spring and blooming flowers—instantly felt like it entered a furnace, the temperature surging, causing the surrounding space to crackle.

From the flames, a shadow gradually emerged, resembling the Ancient Fire God Zhurong!

"Who is this?"

The crowd stared in horror.

"Cyan Flame Sect's Cloud Fire Tide!"

Someone recognized him.

Instantly.

The surroundings echoed with loud clamoring.

"Boom!"

The words barely fell.

Another figure stepped down from the void, landing with a thundering crash atop the peak. With a gentle step, it was as if a giant elephant had descended, causing the entire small island to violently tremble.

People imagined that the newcomer would certainly be a terrifying figure akin to an ancient dragon, but in fact, it was a handsome young man.

"Infinite Sect's Yin Tianhao!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Then.

They saw, in the void, yet another figure appear.

One!

Two!

Three!

...

Just like that.

Amidst the crowd's astonished gaze, over thirty Half-Step Celestial Immortals arrived with a formidable presence, descending upon this island, this peak!

Each of these people were renowned figures in Southern Heaven, possessing the power to establish a sect!

"Indeed, within this space, these islands are hidden."

"We sensed from early on that there were reefs hidden in this sea region. If not for those marks, we might never have found the exact locations! Could not have entered…"

"Heh heh, yesterday those few marks disappeared too quickly; we couldn't track the direction. I worried today that the marks wouldn't appear again, but seems I was overly concerned!"

Cloud Fire Tide, Yin Tianhao, Wu Jing Peak, and others gazed around, either surprised, shocked, or excited.

Understandably.

During this period, they have been trapped in the Enchanting Sea Region, caught in a dilemma.

However, as they explored the sea region, they sensed there were hidden Arrays within this space. Yet, the seas were chaotic, with waves terrifying, interrupting their divine senses.

If not for Du Gang's marks, they feared they'd never find the way.

"Have you been continuously releasing marks externally these days?"

Flora clasped his hands together, scanning the crowd.

"Reporting to Master Flora, indeed!" Du Gang quickly replied, "We saw the lords lingering offshore, so we kept releasing marks, hoping to catch the lords' attention!"

"You know me?" Flora raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes, I've been to Vajra Temple, listened to your teachings, and have had brief glimpses of your revered presence!" Du Gang quickly responded, "We were stranded here due to a maritime accident and unable to escape, hoping the master and your lords could lead us away…"

Du Gang's eyes lowered slightly, pondering for a moment before asking, "In addition to the island beneath us, are there other reefs in this sea region?"

"Yes!" Du Gang quickly nodded, "There is a remnant Array on this reef, and we've studied it for days to discover that there are at least nearly a hundred islands in this sea region! Each of these reefs is more enormous than this one!"

"It's just that our power is weak, and we can't break through the sea region's storm, so even if we know the directions, we're forced to die trapped here!"

The people atop the peak revealed joyous expressions, discussing among themselves.

"Haha, finally can leave!"

"Indeed, I've been trapped here for over three hundred years, dreaming every day of leaving this sea region!"

"This time we can finally leave!"

"Lord, can you lead us away?"

Everyone looked with anticipation toward Flora and the others.

They had been trapped here for far too long, and now at last a chance to leave appeared; how could they not be happy, excited, and thrilled?

However.

To everyone's surprise, Flora, a perceived Enlightened Monk from Vajra Temple, did not immediately agree, but instead entered a peculiar silence.

Cloud Fire Tide, Wu Jing Peak, and these Half-Step Celestial Immortals exchanged glances, remaining silent.

"Could it be the lords are unwilling to lead us away?"

Du Gang laughed bitterly.

"A man with a jade in his hand is falsely accused of guilt!" Cloud Fire Tide smirked and said, "Do you think, after discovering the secret of the Enchanting Sea Region, you can still leave alive?"

Boom!

As these words fell, Du Gang was initially stunned, then his expression dramatically changed.

Indeed!

At that moment, he realized.

Everyone knows the East Sea's Enchanting Sea Region is a deathtrap, where entry means certain death. But now, they've discovered an island within this sea region. Amongst these reefs, there might represent a great fortune, a great opportunity!

This means they know the greatest secret within the entire sea region!

Who would easily let them leave?

"Master, you are an Enlightened Monk!" Du Gang said fearfully.

Yet at this time, Flora clasped his hands, lowered his brows in silence, but his face remained extremely cold.

Seeing his demeanor, Du Gang's heart sank to the depths, and others fell into despair; they thought they had grabbed a lifeline, but unexpectedly, they had brought forth a group of man-eating demons without bones!

It was clearly inviting wolves into the house!

"You want to kill us…"

Du Tingyu's face turned pale.

But Flora and the others paid no regard.

To them, compared to the secret of the Enchanting Sea Region, these people were but ants; killing them meant nothing, and they naturally felt no guilt.

Simultaneously, they could explore other reefs within this sea region.

Du Gang and the others' faces grew extremely bitter; had they known, they preferred to stay trapped here without ever hoping for rescue from these Half-Step Celestial Immortals.

Any Half-Step Earth Immortal would be enough to sweep them all away. Not to mention there were over thirty people here; it seemed this time, escaping even their souls would be ashen impossible, thoroughly obliterated.

Just as Du Gang and the others despaired, when Flora and the others' smiles broadened, ready to act.

Yet, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside:

"The people of the Thirty-Six Sects indeed preach morality and righteousness outwardly, but beneath, they're all vile scoundrels!"

Du Gang and a few others heard the words, shocked, raised their eyes, and saw a young man in wide-sleeved robes, black hair and azure outfit, hands behind his back, standing there, with a cold smile on his face!
