Chapter 173: Mist Island (I)

“Rumble…”

The sounds on the battlefield were like countless cannonballs exploding, and they spread out in all directions from Mist Island.

Chen Yiming, who had put on a black mask and a black cloak, searched for a while in the general direction of the island. Following the sound of the explosion, he found the location of the island.

This was an island with a radius of more than 10 kilometers. The entire island was covered in a layer of thick fog. From outside the island, he could see that there was a large dense rainforest.

“Fortunately, I parted ways with Xu Zhang,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself as he looked at the situation on Mist Island.

At this moment, he was on the west side of the island. He could see tracks left behind by humans every few hundred meters. These tracks were like roads that led straight into the depths of the island.

Judging from the commotion from the battle on Mist Island, there were already teams approaching the huge tree in the middle of the island. This huge tree was about 100 meters tall. Compared to the other mutant plants on the entire island, it was like a crane among chickens that broke through the cover of the fog and pierced through the clouds.

Chen Yiming chose a random track and blended into the fog before venturing deep into the island.

On both sides of the track, there were mutant plants of various colors. Some of them emitted an alluring smell, some of them seemed to have huge mouths that were hanging open, and some of them had strange fruits on them.

Chen Yiming ignored all of these. These mutant plants that no one cared about were either too young or too weak, or they were useless for human cultivation.

Before long, he encountered two groups of people fighting each other near a pond.

On one side were two old men, and on the other were a couple in their thirties and a middle-aged woman.

Chen Yiming was hiding in the fog. The two old men pointed at the couple more than 10 meters away and cursed, “Kid from Fragrance City, don’t push your luck. The Yinfeng Sect was the first to discover this place.”

The woman in the couple was about 30 years old. She had shoulder-length light golden hair, and was wearing a strapless top and lace hot pants. She had a pair of long fair legs and crystal sandals on her feet, which revealed her pale pink toenails.

On the surface, she did not look like a martial arts practitioner at all. Instead, she looked like a rich socialite who had come to Mist Island for a vacation.

She brushed her long hair behind her ear, making it impossible for the male disciples of the Yinfeng Sect to look away. She smiled and said, “It’s not the first time the Hao clan from Fragrance City has participated in the fight for the willow tree cores on the Mist Island, but this is the first time I’ve heard anyone saying that whoever discovers it will get ownership of it.”

…

The taller of the old men said coldly, “The Hao clan from Fragrance City? The clan that has more females than males?”

The moment he finished speaking,

the face of the man from the couple suddenly twitched.

The tall old man’s words had hit a sore spot. The Hao clan was a strange martial arts clan. All the men in the clan were useless in martial arts, and all their martial arts talent was found in the women.

As a result, not only were the heads of the Hao clan women, but they also had to constantly get talented males to marry into the clan.

To a certain extent, martial arts talent was decided by both parents. Even if the descendants of the two warriors were not nurtured well, they could usually reach the warrior candidate realm.

The man in the couple was a warrior candidate. To reach this level at about the age of 30 was already quite an achievement for someone who was not from a large sect on the mountains.

A trace of anger flashed across the man’s eyes. Not only was the old man rude to him, but the uncultured disciples under him also did not know how to hide it and kept staring at his wife.

No man could stand such behavior.

He also sneered, “The Yinfeng Sect can only hide in the wilderness. It’s not some big sect. Bring it on if you dare.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the middle-aged woman from the Hao clan beside him took a step forward and added, “Which of you trash from the Yinfeng Sect dares to provoke the Hao clan? Be careful that we won’t destroy your entire sect.”

When the disciples beside the old man heard the word “trash”, they were instantly enraged.

From the name, one could tell that the Yinfeng Sect was not a formal sect. In fact, the entire sect was active in the wilderness of the East Sea province, and most of their jobs involved assassinations. They had always been on the blacklist of various cities.

Most of these disciples were orphans picked up by the two elders. However, even though they had been picked out from a large group of orphans, they were still unable to escape their status as members of the Yinfeng Sect.

Facing the upper-level warrior clans in the big cities, they were naturally inferior. However, without the old men’s orders, they did not dare to act rashly.

The short old man suddenly smiled fiercely and said, “It’s true that we can’t defeat you in Fragrance City, but this is the East Sea Mist Island. If you anger our Yinfeng Sect, no one will be able to obtain the core from the willow tree by the pool.”

After the short old man spoke, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

Other than being a few sizes thicker than an ordinary willow tree, there seemed to be nothing special about the warrior-level willow tree by the pool. Its branches fluttered in the wind.

The Yinfeng Sect and the Hao clan needed two warriors to focus on holding back the willow tree. The others would use special bombs to deal a fatal blow to the immobilized willow tree.

However, if either the old man or the Hao clan wanted to cause trouble, the other party would definitely not dare to make a move easily. Once the other party seized the opportunity and caused one to be entangled by the willow branches, even those in the warrior realm could not guarantee that they could escape.

Of course, if the four warriors worked together, with four against one, no matter how many willow branches there were, they would not be a match for the four of them. After all, the willow tree had evolved from plants on the blue planet, and was not some special plant from the otherworld.

However, the Hao clan would not trust a faction like the Yinfeng Sect, which often schemed against others. Similarly, the Yinfeng Sect did not have the habit of working together with others. They only knew how to launch sneak attacks and bully the weak.

Chen Yiming observed the situation from the side.

The Yinfeng Sect led by the two old men was a faction that belonged to the East Sea province. Although the Hao clan was based in Fragrance City, they could send out two warriors at once. Clearly, the Hao clan was not weak, and this was not the first time they had participated in the fight for the willow tree cores on Mist Island.

Both factions knew more about Mist Island than Chen Yiming, so they just happened to lead the way for him.

After making his decision, Chen Yiming dispersed his black fog internal force and revealed himself.

“Who is it!” the tall old man exclaimed.

The others also noticed that a masked man had appeared less than 10 meters away from them.

The two women from the Hao clan were first shocked, then relieved.

As long as they were not allies of the Yinfeng Sect, it was fine. Otherwise, even if the Hao clan was unwilling, they would have no choice but to retreat.

The competition for the willow tree cores on Mist Island was at most in the middle stage. No one would be stupid enough to risk their lives now.

Seeing that the masked man was alone, the short old man threatened, “Kid, you’ve been spying on us for a long time. Are you courting death?”

When the disciples of the Yinfeng Sect saw the old man’s attitude, they also glared at Chen Yiming. No one could simply overlook the fact that they were being secretly watched.

For a moment, the Yinfeng Gate was restless, as though the two old men were about to lead their disciples to surround and kill the masked man if he could not give them a satisfactory explanation.

Chen Yiming shook his head and spoke with his actions.

He clenched his right hand, and a 50-meter-long sword formed by two huge rocks appeared in front of the people from the Yinfeng Sect and the Hao clan.

This huge sword was completely formed from internal force and hung above the heads of the people from the Yinfeng Sect.
