Chu Fengmian struck so swiftly that in an instant, he killed all the Sacrificial Pavilion disciples, broke the Great Array of Hulah Island, and made a quick escape.
By the time the other disciples of the Sacrificial Pavilion dared to come forward, all that was left was chaos.
Chu Fengmian’s speed was too fast for many martial artists and demon gods in the city to see his figure clearly; they could only see someone making a move, rescuing Hai Gongzhu and Qi Yangshi.
Several Sacrificial Pavilion disciples investigated for a long time, but they gained nothing and had no idea who had rescued the two of them.
"Do these two have accomplices?"
"Nothing surprising. That woman, after all, is from the Lan family; perhaps a hidden expert from the Lan family took action to save them."
"They can’t have gone far, keep searching!"
The Sacrificial Pavilion disciples nodded to each other and continued searching.
Amidst the storm.
Chu Fengmian, using his formidable Spiritual Power, carved out a space within the storm, resisting the onslaught of Wind Blades.
This storm at the center of the Shattered Islands is a forbidden zone for martial artists and demon gods below the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm.
Even Half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artists and demon gods find it perilous to explore this storm. It was difficult for anyone to locate Chu Fengmian hiding in it.
"We owe our escape to you, young master."
Hai Gongzhu looked at Chu Fengmian and said gratefully.
"Thank you, young master."
Qi Yangshi also gave a bow from the side.
After being saved by Chu Fengmian several times, Qi Yangshi held great respect for him.
"It’s nothing."
Chu Fengmian waved his hand and spoke.
"It seems your journey to the Shattered Islands this time was somewhat troubled?"
Hai Gongzhu and Qi Yangshi had likely come to the Shattered Islands in search of the Lan family members from the old days.
But now, it seemed that not only were there just the two of them, but their identities were also exposed.
"I didn’t expect that many from back then would actually pledge allegiance to that traitor Lan Ming! What a disgrace to the Lan family disciples!"
Qi Yangshi, hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, shouted angrily, his tone filled with rage.
"Luckily, Ms. Ling sensed something amiss and hurriedly took us away, but our identities were still exposed and known by that traitor Lan Ming."
Hai Gongzhu looked at Chu Fengmian with hesitation before speaking.
"Young master, your attire?"
From Chu Fengmian’s attire, Hai Gongzhu inferred that he was now with the Sea Sacrifice Sect.
She remembered he was supposed to handle some matters at the Sea Sword Sect.
Now, having not seen him for some time, he had infiltrated the Sea Sacrifice Sect instead.
"It’s complicated, but I’ve already completed the business at the Sea Sword Sect. However, to deal with Lan Ming, I have now infiltrated the Sea Sacrifice Sect."
Chu Fengmian spoke calmly.
Chu Fengmian’s demeanor was casual, but Hai Gongzhu and Qi Yangshi understood how difficult it was to infiltrate the Sea Sacrifice Sect.
As the leading Major Sect in the Canghai Star Region, the Sea Sacrifice Sect was filled with experts, and its assessments were extremely rigorous. Countless martial artists and demon gods had fallen trying to infiltrate it.
The fact that Chu Fengmian could infiltrate the Sea Sacrifice Sect and even become a Protector astonished them greatly.
"What does young master plan to do next? Lan Ming’s power might be even stronger than before."
Hai Gongzhu looked at Chu Fengmian and asked.
"Indeed, I have already met Lan Ming. His current strength is just a step away from the Heavenly Human Realm. He could trigger the Heavenly Tribulation and step into the Heavenly Human Realm whenever he wishes."
Chu Fengmian spoke calmly.
"That traitor Lan Ming has such power now?"
Qi Yangshi was shocked upon hearing Chu Fengmian and felt some helplessness.
Lan Ming had been a genius of the Lan family, later killing countless Lan family members, refining the extremely pure Xuan Whale bloodline, and receiving the cultivation from the Sea Sacrifice Sect, making his power incredibly terrifying.
Even though he somewhat anticipated it, Chu Fengmian’s words left him feeling helpless.
To step into the Heavenly Human Realm anytime.
With such power, there were few in the Canghai Star Region who could rival Lan Ming.
Killing Lan Ming seemed an impossible task.
"Lan Ming’s power has grown so frightening."
Hai Gongzhu felt slightly better than Qi Yangshi upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s account.
As someone who had awakened the Xuan Whale bloodline, she understood its formidable nature.
Though currently a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor at the peak, her genuine strength was superior to most of the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artists and demon gods.
If not for the Sacrificial Pavilion disciples’ pre-arranged Great Array on Hulah Island, those people wouldn’t have been able to stop her.
Lan Ming’s Xuan Whale bloodline surpassed that of Hai Gongzhu, combined with the Sea Sacrifice Sect’s intense training, explaining his strength.
"Our Lan family has an ancient secret technique named the Whale Transformation Technique. It’s said that perfection in it can allow one to revert to ancestral lines, transform into a Xuan Whale, and although it can’t compare to a real Xuan Whale, it grants some of its strength. Lan Ming not breaking through might be due to cultivating this technique."
Hai Gongzhu pondered and then spoke.
"This Whale Transformation Technique requires an extremely rich Xuan Whale bloodline to be successfully cultivated."
"Transforming into a Xuan Whale? Such a secret technique exists?"
Chu Fengmian was slightly surprised. Humans becoming Innate Divine Beasts—even possessing just one percent of a real Xuan Whale’s power—was astonishing.
This secret technique reminded Chu Fengmian of the Battle Dragon Technique.
Achieving Great Success in the Battle Dragon Technique could transform one into the Ancestor Heavenly Dragon, similar to this Whale Transformation Technique.
"Now that Lan Ming has grown formidable, it seems impossible to deal with him."
Qi Yangshi said helplessly.
With his talent, reaching the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor was his peak.
Not being a Lan family disciple but merely a servant, Qi Yangshi longed for revenge, but Lan Ming’s current strength left him in despair.
"Lan Ming is not undefeatable. As long as he hasn’t entered the Heavenly Human Realm, I have a way to kill him."
Chu Fengmian spoke with unwavering composure.
"Young master has a way?"
Given Lan Ming’s terrifying power, Hai Gongzhu was ready to give up, but Chu Fengmian’s words reignited her excitement.
"Indeed, with my power alone, it may be difficult to kill him, but I have already called for help. Once they arrive, and we can draw Lan Ming out of the Sea Sacrifice Sect, it may not be impossible to slay him!"
Chu Fengmian said while retrieving a Jade Talisman, injecting it with Spiritual Power, and sensing its contents, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems help is almost here."
