King of Creation

Ye Zhen didn't even need to turn around to guess who those malicious gazes came from.

The people from the Stars Tower couldn't be absent; those dozen malicious gazes coming from the same direction must be from the Stars Tower.

The gazes beside him, on the other hand, were from the Dragon Alliance members.

Without a doubt, if Ye Zhen left the island to search for spiritual medicine in the undersea canyon, these people would definitely target him.

Not to mention the ban on leaving Shuili Island being useless; even if it were effective, it wouldn't help much once in the sea.

For a moment, Ye Zhen hesitated.

To give up on this Alchemy Conference was nearly impossible; Ye Zhen had been planning and preparing for it for years, overcoming numerous obstacles to reach Shuili Island. To give up now would render all his efforts in vain.

But participating?

Just thinking about Jie Tianhe's terrifying cultivation made Ye Zhen's scalp tingle.

Ye Zhen might be able to negotiate with others, but with Jie Tianhe, a Dao Realm expert who has also acquired the Black Dragon Legacy and is at ease in the sea, Ye Zhen truly had no confidence.

Ye Zhen believed that once he entered the water, Jie Tianhe would abandon all other targets to pursue him directly.

"Fourth Brother, you shouldn't participate in the bidding qualification process. Jie Tianhe has already noticed you, and with the people from the Stars Tower eyeing you, it's too dangerous for you!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint's voice echoed in Ye Zhen's mind.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen managed a bitter smile, "But I have been preparing for this Alchemy Conference for years...."

"Fourth Brother, rest assured, I will do my utmost to bid for the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill for you," the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

"Indeed, with Third Brother's strength, you will surely rank within the top thousand!" Ye Zhen said.

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint looked slightly surprised, "Fourth Brother, don't you know? Those in the Dao Realm don't need to participate in such selections; they automatically receive bidding qualification!"

"Is that so?" Ye Zhen's expression suddenly brightened.

Almost simultaneously, the voice of Shuili Dan King sounded again, "All those willing to participate may now leave the island, but I hope that when picking spiritual medicine in the undersea canyon, you do not kill each other.

Firstly, to cause fewer deaths, and secondly, the undersea canyon is already extremely dangerous. If you remain in conflict, it will only benefit those Demon Beasts, making you their blood food!"

After speaking, Shuili Dan King's voice suddenly raised, "Brother Jie, Sea-Breaking, Brother Yang, Brother Ou, Brother Hei, you have been on the island for many days, and I have yet to leave seclusion. This is my neglect, but today I have the time; would you be willing to join me?"

"Hahahaha, how could I refuse the Pill King's invitation?"

Amid the laughter, a voice soared to the sky, the laughter spreading out in waves of tangible-looking air currents. Judging from the momentum, this was undoubtedly someone in the Dao Realm.

But Ye Zhen's pupils contracted because this Dao Realm individual with the surname Ou was wearing attire bearing the unique insignia of the Stars Tower.

This person is from the Stars Tower!

The Stars Tower actually brought someone from the Dao Realm?

"Old fool, I've been here for three days, and you're only speaking up now; don't you think it's too late?" Though he was scolding, a chilling black light shot up into the sky.

Ye Zhen recognized the black light; he had seen it once during the undersea sacrificial ceremony—it was the Island Master of Black Fiend Island.

Immediately, Yang Ben also laughed heartily and flew towards Shuili Dan King, followed by the Sea-Breaking Great Saint. However, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint seemed to understand Ye Zhen's confusion and sent a Divine Soul message.

"That Ou Tu is the third of the Five Chiefs of the Stars Tower, with a half-step Dao cultivation. Each Alchemy Conference, the Stars Tower sends a Tower Chief to attend," the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

At the same time, Dragon Alliance Leader Jie Tianhe, after giving some instructions to the Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong and Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben, then looked specifically at Ye Zhen before flying up.

Seeing Jie Tianhe leaving, Ye Zhen's heart settled; a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he made a decision.

"Third Brother, I want to go to the undersea canyon to strive for that bidding qualification!" Ye Zhen communicated via Divine Soul Telecommunication.

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint immediately became angry, "Why, Fourth Brother, do you not trust me? Must you risk this danger?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, Third Brother; the treasures at the Alchemy Conference are not limited to the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill. Furthermore, you mentioned that Shuili Dan King's bidding methods are numerous; it's not just about having many Spirit Crystals to obtain the finale treasure.

If possible, I still want to personally participate in this bidding conference.

Besides, how long does Third Brother think I can keep hiding?

If even without Jie Tianhe's presence, I dare not enter the sea, then wouldn't I have to live completely under the wings of the three of you from now on?

Moreover, you also know my strength, Third Brother. In this sea, my ability will only increase and not decrease!" Ye Zhen said.

Upon hearing this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint sighed again, "Ah, once again, big brother was right. Big brother said, with Fourth Brother's temperament, I wouldn't be able to dissuade him. Big brother really understands you!

Forget it, I won't persuade you anymore, Fourth Brother. Just be careful!"

Having convinced the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, Ye Zhen could set off from Shuili Island to the sea, heading towards the Undersea Canyon with peace of mind.

In this short time, more than half of the martial artists had already left Shuili Island, quickly heading out to sea to search.

There's no preferred direction when entering the sea; this Undersea Canyon stretches for 480,000 miles, and with more than ten thousand martial artists poured in, they quickly disappear without a trace.

Ye Zhen only glanced left and right for a moment, almost simultaneously, his figure soared high, blending with the group of martial artists, transforming into a stream of light, rushing towards the sea surface at the fastest speed.

It wasn't because Ye Zhen was impatient, but because too many martial artists were targeting Ye Zhen.

Previously, there were three teams of martial artists from Stars Tower attending this Dan appreciation conference, with five people in each team.

The team leaders were the three Tower Chiefs, Ou Tu, Huang Mian, and Yan Yijun from Stars Tower; among them, the third Tower Chief was invited away by Shuili Dan King, leaving fourteen people.

Among these fourteen, there are three Ninth Stage Establishment Kings, three Eighth Stage Establishment Kings, five Fifth to Seventh Stage Establishment Kings, two Second to Third Stage Establishment Kings, and Yan Yijun, the lone Peak of Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm.

These fourteen are the ones from Stars Tower competing for the auction qualification; in fact, the other four from the team of Third Tower Chief Ou Tu don't need to compete for auction qualifications.

But now they've joined in; undoubtedly, they are all after Ye Zhen.

Among the five surnames of Stars Tower, there are often various struggles for interests, even mutual restraint and confrontations, but they are quite united when facing external enemies.

At this moment, eight of the fourteen from Stars Tower have disappeared, presumably already heading to the Undersea Canyon to obtain Spiritual Medicine to gain auction qualifications for the Dan appreciation conference.

After all, except for the team of Third Tower Chief Ou Tu, the other two teams need to earn auction qualifications.

And now, those who remain, with their eyes fixed on Ye Zhen, led by Huang Mian and Yan Wuluo, should be a temporary hunting squad from Stars Tower to deal with Ye Zhen.

This luxurious lineup, not to mention Ye Zhen, even some martial artists who noticed the clue, feel their hearts trembling.

Two Ninth Stage Establishment Kings, three Eighth Stage Establishment Kings, one Seventh Stage Establishment King. With such a luxurious lineup, not only is it deployed against Ye Zhen, but it could also hold its own against Dao Realm experts for a while.

At this moment, as Ye Zhen started to move, these six experts from Stars Tower, who had been closely watching him, moved simultaneously, instantly transforming into six streams of light, chasing after Ye Zhen.

At the same moment, not only the six experts from Stars Tower moved, but also the Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong and the Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben from Dragon Alliance.

They were the same; if Ye Zhen didn't move, they wouldn't move. As soon as Ye Zhen moved, they immediately pursued him like lightning.

In fact, normally, Dragon Alliance Leader Jie Tianhe already has automatic auction qualification, and fundamentally, they don't need to participate in this Undersea Canyon action.

Their purpose in participating in the Undersea Canyon action is solely one thing—to deal with Ye Zhen, capture him alive!

And the reason why Ye Zhen blends with the crowd at maximum speed is to take advantage of the opportunity to dive underwater. As long as he's not surrounded by these people, Ye Zhen's chances increase greatly.

Just as these two groups simultaneously chased after Ye Zhen, from within the recently gathered Dao Realm experts, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint coldly laughed at the Third Tower Chief Ou Tu of Stars Tower.

"Six against one, such a luxurious lineup. Your Stars Tower has spared no expense to take on my Fourth Brother!"

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint is forthright, revealing everything with a single statement, making the Third Tower Chief Ou Tu's face change slightly, then she smiled and cupped her hands.

"How could it be?"

"The Sea-Breaking Great Saint must have misunderstood. How could our Stars Tower act against the Heavenly Wing Fourth Saint Sea Suppressing Great Saint?"

Saying this, Ou Tu suddenly feigned surprise, "Oh dear, the Undersea Canyon is extremely dangerous, although the Sea Suppressing Great Saint is mighty, his cultivation is set.

I suggest the Sea-Breaking Great Saint quickly call back your Fourth Brother, lest he gets eaten by a Demon Beast out of carelessness. What would happen then?

Also, I am kindly reminding you, Sea-Breaking Great Saint, if anything happens to the Sea Suppressing Great Saint, you from Heavenly Wing Island can't throw the blame at our Stars Tower!" exclaimed the Third Tower Chief Ou Tu exaggeratedly.

"Hmph, the name of Fox Star really lives up to its reputation. You've washed your hands clean!"

Saying this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint looked at the Dragon Alliance Leader Jie Tianhe with some amusement, "However, I'm curious. Brother Jie, you want him alive, but Stars Tower wants to kill my Fourth Brother. I wonder if the two Dragon Kings of Dragon Alliance will attack my Fourth Brother or protect him?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Tianhe and the Third Tower Chief Fox Star Ou Tu exchanged a glance, and as smiles appeared on their faces, Jie Tianhe burst into laughter, "That's not something for the Sea-Breaking Great Saint to worry about!"

In an instant, realizing something was amiss, the expression of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint changed dramatically!

Had these two formed an alliance within a few breaths' time? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast recommendation votes, monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
