King of Creation

From a distance, Ye Zhen could clearly see the six White Dragon Envoys.

The six White Dragon Envoys that Ye Zhen encountered today were completely different from the dozens of White Dragon Envoys he had ambushed before.

The previous White Dragon Envoys were quite casual, and even when they first interrogated Ye Zhen, they didn't even bother to cover themselves with their Spiritual Power Battle Armor.

But these six in front were entirely different, advancing towards Ye Zhen in a fanned formation, their speed beginning to slow with caution.

From afar, their Spiritual Power Battle Armor emitted extremely vast Spiritual Power Waves, even the Mid-grade Spirit Armor they wore underneath subtly flickered with a precious glow.

The standard Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Black Dragon Spirit Whip, was faintly visible across their chests. More critically, each of them exuded subtle Divine Soul Waves all around.

This indicated that the White Dragon Envoys were incredibly alert, ready to react immediately to any unexpected incident.

Or deliver a deadly blow to the target at the first moment.

This surprised Ye Zhen somewhat. Had the previous White Dragon Envoys been as cautious as these six, Ye Zhen's ambush would never have succeeded.

Let alone keeping it from leaking out.

The cautious stance of these six White Dragon Envoys made Ye Zhen suspicious. Did they discover his true identity?

However, after a second thought, he dismissed the possibility. If they truly found out, would dispatching only six White Dragon Envoys be enough to detain him?

"Fourth Brother, don't be nervous. The Dragon Alliance folks have always been overbearing, frequently intercepting others at sea to interrogate them. Heh, if they encounter me today, they'll have a good time!"

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint chuckled and went to meet them with hands behind his back.

The six White Dragon Envoys were also getting closer, but the closer they got, the more vigilant they appeared.

Suddenly, the expression of the White Dragon Envoy in the middle changed abruptly, gestured quickly, and saluted from afar toward the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

"White Dragon Envoy of the Dragon Alliance's Snowdrift Domain, pays respect to the Sea-Breaking Great Saint!"

Seeing everyone greet him, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint couldn't help but be baffled, "Have you seen me before?"

"The Dragon Alliance circulated spirit images of the esteemed Great Saints, instructing us to show great respect when we encounter them. Moreover, forty years ago at the East Sea Conference, I caught a distant glimpse of the Great Saint, recognizing you at first sight!" The White Dragon Envoy replied.

Hearing this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint pouted, "What a bore, I wanted to tease you all well! So, are you pursuing that… that Zheng Zheng whatever his name is?"

"Reporting to the Great Saint, it is Zheng Fuyun!"

"Oh, what's your intent, to inspect the two of us?" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint demanded.

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare!"

The White Dragon Envoy cautiously glanced at Ye Zhen, repeatedly professing their lack of intent, signaled with a gesture; the six White Dragon Envoys saluted once more and swiftly retreated!

"Tch, these guys, no fun at all!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint murmured.

"Third Brother, do you think if we suddenly attacked earlier, could we have taken them all down?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.

"Six White Dragon Envoys, if both of us strike with full force, taking them down would be no issue! However, before they die, they can definitely send the message out!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

"Oh?" Ye Zhen showed a look of surprise.

"Didn't you see, just now each of the six White Dragon Envoys had a faint glimmer of jade light in their palms, likely a communication Talisman or a powerful Jade Talisman!"

"After you killed so many, these guys have finally wised up, showing some of that two-hundred-year-old flair!" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint teased.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen broke into a sweat, realizing that he had only picked up the slack by earlier eliminating so many White Dragon Envoys.

According to the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, at their current speed, it would take five to six days to reach Shuili Island. Initially, this sea route was somewhat perilous, but with the Sea-Breaking Great Saint paving the way, what Demon Beast would dare to appear?

Therefore, the journey over the next few days went very smoothly for the two.

The only inconvenience was that within five and a half days, Ye Zhen encountered seven waves of road-blocking interrogations by White Dragon Envoys.

However, with the Sea-Breaking Great Saint present, it only took a few words to send them off. Eventually, when the White Dragon Envoys recognized from afar that it was the Sea-Breaking Great Saint coming, they turned and left.

This left the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, who was eager to engage a few toys for some fun, quite displeased.

What made Ye Zhen vigilant was that during each encounter with a White Dragon Envoy, they all abandoned their previous casual demeanor and became extremely alert, acting as cautiously as in battle when they encountered them.

Also, something puzzled Ye Zhen.

"Third Brother, let me ask you something. Altogether, I've eliminated thirty-five White Dragon Envoys, approximately half of them. The Dragon Alliance can have at most thirty-seven White Dragon Envoys left, yet I've encountered over forty-two White Dragon Envoys these days!

With our eye for detail, it's not hard to distinguish that these seven groups of White Dragon Envoys were different, right? How could this be?"

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint rolled his eyes again, "Old Fourth, don't you know? The Seventy-two Commanders were created by that cunning guy Jie Tianhe as his loyal men in the Dragon Alliance.

There are plentiful Establishment Kings within the Dragon Alliance eager to become one of the Seventy-two Commanders. At least one or two hundred have the required Cultivation.

Therefore, the number of Seventy-two White Commanders, Jie Tianhe can dictate as many as he wants! The truly important ones in the Dragon Alliance are those Nine Domain Dragon Kings. Only by taking down a presence among the Nine Domain Dragon Kings can you truly make Jie Tianhe feel the pain!"

"That's also why I didn't support you in slaying those White Dragon Envoys earlier!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint commented.

"I see, thank you, Third Brother!" Ye Zhen nodded.

"Alright, no need to be polite, or I'll turn my back on you! By the way, we have about an hour left until we reach Shuili Island. Shuili Island doesn't allow giant Demon Beasts like the Fire Mark Golden Eagle to land; you should let it find food nearby of its own!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

Ye Zhen's expression shifted, "Third Brother, is there such a rule? What other prohibitions are there on Shuili Island? Can you tell me?"

"The prohibitions for each Dan Conference change. Once you disembark on the island, someone will naturally issue you a Prohibition Talisman to make you aware!

This Shuili Dan King is a scholarly person, insisting that unteachable punishment is harsh. Therefore, all Martial Artists qualified to land on the island receive a Prohibition Talisman!

Once you obtain this Prohibition Talisman, violating it is met with death!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint explained.

"To violate is to be punished by death?" Ye Zhen voiced some skepticism.

"Do not doubt this Shuili Dan King's temperament, though he calls himself a scholar, a true gentleman as Big Brother describes. But if anyone dares to violate his prohibitions, he won't show mercy!

The past century of Dan Conferences has been much improved, no one dares to violate the prohibitions. Back during the first hundred years of the Dan Conference, every two or three days, one or two new heads would be hanging from the flagpoles at Shuili Island's port!

Ranging from Ninth Stage Establishment Kings to Vein Forging Martial Artists, violators are executed! Even a hundred and ninety years ago, Shuili Dan King once executed a Dao Realm Expert for breaking the prohibition!

Although that battle left Shuili Dan King recuperating for eight full years, since then, no one dares to breach the prohibitions of Shuili Island!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen took a deep breath, "Even a Dao Realm Expert who breaks a prohibition would be executed?"

"Of course, otherwise, do you think Big Brother and the others would let me bring you here? Two to three of the Nine Domain Dragon Kings from the Dragon Alliance appear at every Dan Conference!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint remarked.

"Oh, the Dragon Alliance also shows up? But that's just normal!" Ye Zhen noted.

"Generally, the Dragon Alliance sends two or three Nine Domain Dragon Kings, the most being four! However, with the Dragon Alliance hunting you all over the vast sea and you having taken out two, they likely don't have the leisure.

Big Brother and the others estimate that if one or two Nine Domain Dragon Kings come, that would be the limit! As long as you are cautious, even if you were wandering by their side, they wouldn't recognize you!"

At this point, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint suddenly chuckled, "I suddenly want to know, if Jie Tianhe discovers in the future that the target he's hunting all over the sea strolled by his subordinate Dragon Kings, what his expression would be?"

"Wouldn't it be delightful?" With that, Ye Zhen also laughed.

By the time they finished speaking, they could already see the flag of Shuili Island fluttering high in the air.

"Fourth Brother, we've arrived. Shuili Island has many rules, no matter who, must disembark at the harbor for inspection to receive an Identity Jade Token! Let's first head to the Shuili Island harbor!" (To be continued.
