Chapter 1072: Chapter 1009: A Sense of Familiarity, the Hunt Begins!

"That I really can’t tell you."

"And don’t bother threatening me either, because I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone, not even my father."

"You also better not go and pressure him, in case he finds out and says I shot my mouth off."

said Young Master Hao.

Wang Youer really did want to threaten him, but after hearing that, she gave up.

She knew Young Master Hao’s personality very well; once he promised someone something, he would definitely do it. But if she couldn’t figure this out, her heart would feel like ants were crawling all over it, unbearably uncomfortable.

Suddenly.

Her eyes lit up.

Since threats don’t work, then go soft!

"Bro, you know what I’m like—I’m insanely curious. If I can’t figure it out, I’ll be on edge the whole time, my heart won’t have anywhere to settle."

"Just tell me, okay? I promise I won’t tell anyone."

"If you really don’t believe me, I can swear an oath."

Wang Youer put on a pitiful expression and looked at Young Master Hao.

Young Master Hao’s will was very firm; he shook his head and said, "No, no way, I can’t go back on my word."

Wang Youer instantly turned shy and angry. "Do you have to force me to use my Bewitching Technique?"

"Don’t!"

"Aren’t you making things hard for me?"

"If I’d known, I never should’ve told you in the first place."

Young Master Hao said in annoyance.

"Fine, I won’t make it hard for you. To think I used to take such good care of you. White-Eyed Wolf, choosing lust over friends."

Wang Youer snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

"Choosing lust over friends?"

Young Master Hao’s face twitched, and he said angrily, "What are you thinking? Brother Mu and I have a pure revolutionary friendship."

"If it’s pure, why are you explaining so much? The more you explain, the more suspicious it looks."

Wang Youer sneered.

Young Master Hao rubbed his forehead and said weakly, "Alright, I give up. Say whatever you want."

Whoosh!

At this moment.

Another sound of something tearing through the air came.

Young Master Hao looked up, and immediately saw two figures streaking toward them like lightning.

Joy flashed across Young Master Hao’s face.

Because the newcomer was Qin Feiyang.

But when he saw Wang Zicheng beside Qin Feiyang, the joy on his face instantly vanished, replaced by deep suspicion.

"How the hell is that bastard with him?"

When Wang Youer looked up and saw them, she flew into a rage on the spot.

At the same time!

By the pond below, the scar-faced burly man and the others opened their eyes again and looked at the two.

"It’s him!"

Immediately.

A murderous gleam burst from the eyes of the scar-faced burly man.

The other nine burly men also stared with vicious intent.

At the same moment!

High above the Outer Sea, Qin Feiyang also saw the island, though he didn’t notice Young Master Hao and Wang Youer, nor the scar-faced burly man and his group.

Wang Zicheng glanced at the island and said with a smile, "The end of this island is the Inner Sea. That guy should’ve already gone in."

The "that guy" he mentioned naturally referred to the young sturdy man.

Qin Feiyang raised his head and looked toward the Inner Sea, and doubt climbed into his eyes. The sky above the Inner Sea was thick with black clouds, thunder flashing and rumbling.

Even though they were still very far away, he could already vaguely hear the deafening thunder.

The surface of the sea was also whipped into raging waves by a furious gale!

Compared to the Outer Sea, it was like two completely different worlds.

Wang Zicheng said, "Shocking, isn’t it?"

Qin Feiyang nodded, frowning. "What’s going on?"

"I don’t know either."

"But between the Inner Sea and the Outer Sea, there’s an invisible barrier."

"This barrier extends deep into the seabed."

"Whether it’s the storms of the Inner Sea, or us humans, or Sea Beasts, none of us can cross this barrier."

"The only entrance and exit is this island."

Wang Zicheng explained. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"This..."

Qin Feiyang was utterly stunned.

He had never imagined that between the Inner and Outer Seas, there would actually be such a thing.

After a brief silence, Wang Zicheng said again, "But there is a rumor that this barrier was set up by a Divine Spirit."

"A Divine Spirit!"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes bulged.

"That’s right."

"It’s said that a long time ago, a Divine Beast appeared in the Inner Sea."

"Listen carefully: not a Divine Beast with Divine Beast Bloodline Power, but a true Divine-spirit Level Divine Beast."

"But no one knows exactly what kind of Divine Beast it was."

"It’s said that this Divine Beast had immense ambition and sought to rule this continent, so it led countless Sea Beasts in a frenzied invasion of the human world."

"You can imagine how terrifying the scene was when those Sea Beasts swarmed in."

"It’s said that during those years, corpses carpeted the land, rivers ran red with blood, and humans were completely no match for them."

"Just as humanity was about to be wiped out, a mysterious powerhouse suddenly descended."

"This person possessed Heaven and Earth–shaking strength and battled that Divine Beast for three days and three nights. In the end, he finally subdued the Divine Beast and drove all the Sea Beasts back into Qinghai."

"Afterward, that mysterious powerhouse set up a barrier here to prevent those Sea Beasts from making a comeback."

Wang Zicheng said.

Qin Feiyang listened in a daze and said, "Why does this sound so far-fetched to me?"

Wang Zicheng laughed. "It is a legend to begin with; no one can prove it, so of course it sounds far-fetched."

Qin Feiyang nodded slightly, then shook his head. "Just because it’s a legend doesn’t mean it’s fake. It’s just that we didn’t witness it with our own eyes."

"True."

"But regardless of whether this legend is real, this barrier has indeed played a role in protecting us humans."

"Because the Sea Beasts of the Inner Sea are at least Saint Beasts."

"If they launched a Beast Tide, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Wang Zicheng said gravely.

Qin Feiyang did not deny this.

Suddenly.

He scanned the sky above the island and frowned. "No, even if the barrier can stop Sea Beasts, they can still fly out over the island, can’t they?"

"They can’t."

"It’s said this island contains the will of that mysterious powerhouse. Only we humans can freely enter and exit it, while any Inner Sea Sea Beast that passes through here will be instantly blasted to death."

"As for the Sea Beasts of the Outer Sea, they can pass through here to enter the Inner Sea, but once they go in, they can never come out again."

"In other words, for the Sea Beasts here, this entrance can only be entered, not exited."

"And precisely because of this, we later generations call this island the Divine Island."

"And Divine Island has an even more wondrous trait: no matter how you destroy it, you can’t break it."

"Any damage done will be restored to its original state by the next day."

Wang Zicheng said.

"Is it really that magical?"

Wang Zicheng’s words instantly piqued Qin Feiyang’s curiosity.

He’d heard plenty of strange rumors and ghost stories in this world, but this kind was truly a first. Looked like he had to see it for himself.

A moment later.

The two finally flew into the skies above the island.

"Huh?"

Qin Feiyang stopped on the spot, a trace of doubt flashing between his brows.

"What is it?"

Wang Zicheng looked at him suspiciously.

At the same time.

By the pond.

The scar-faced burly man’s pupils also shrank as he muttered, "Don’t tell me he noticed?"

On the mountaintop above.

Wang Youer looked at Qin Feiyang and Wang Zicheng and sneered. "Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together."

Young Master Hao pouted. "Sis, I can’t agree with that."

"Did I mean you? Who told you to butt in."

Wang Youer said angrily.

Young Master Hao said unhappily, "I’ve been hanging out with him a lot lately. If you say that about him, you’re basically saying it about me too!"

"Cut the crap."

Wang Youer glared hard at him, then looked back at Qin Feiyang and snorted coldly. "Actually colluding with that lecherous bastard. Just watch how I deal with him today!"

With that, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to go all out.

But at the same time.

Young Master Hao seemed to notice something. He lowered his head to look at the scar-faced burly man and the others, and his face suddenly changed. He grabbed Wang Youer and secretly said, "Wait!"

"What are you doing?"

Wang Youer was a bit annoyed.

Young Master Hao pointed at the scar-faced burly man and the others and sent a voice transmission: "Look closely at them. There’s a killing intent on them."

"Huh?"

Wang Youer was startled and immediately lowered her head. Sure enough, she could sense a wave of killing intent from those people.

"Could their target be Ancestor Mu?"

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Young Master Hao in shock and doubt.

"Brother Mu is standing together with that lecherous bastard you mentioned, but their eyes have been locked on Brother Mu the whole time. Obviously, yes!"

Young Master Hao said in a deep voice.

Wang Youer said suspiciously, "That shouldn’t be. He’s your father’s disciple now. Who would dare lay a hand on him?"

"Don’t worry about that for now, hurry and notify Brother Mu."

Young Master Hao said.

...

Above the island.

Seeing Qin Feiyang with his head lowered, staying silent for so long, Wang Zicheng lost his patience too and urged, "Bro, what’s going on? If something’s up, just say it!"

"So strange."

Qin Feiyang shook his head and muttered.

"What’s strange?"

Wang Zicheng was utterly confused.

Qin Feiyang looked up at Wang Zicheng and said, "The moment I entered the airspace over this island, I felt a particularly familiar, intimate sort of aura."

"Intimate?"

Wang Zicheng’s face went dark. He rolled his eyes hard at Qin Feiyang and said speechlessly, "You must be dreaming. This is your first time here. How could you possibly feel intimacy?"

"Dreaming?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

He could be sure this wasn’t a dream, because that sense of familiarity had been there the whole time.

But there was one thing Wang Zicheng was right about—this was indeed his first time on the Divine Island. How could he have such a feeling?

"Don’t waste time, let’s go!"

Wang Zicheng grabbed Qin Feiyang and flew forward.

Very soon.

The two went five or six li deep into the island, and they were now only half a li away from Wang Youer, Young Master Hao, and the scar-faced burly man’s group.

And as they went deeper, the sense of familiarity the Divine Island gave Qin Feiyang grew stronger and stronger.

He kept his head down, mulling it over.

"Brother Mu, careful, someone’s about to ambush you!"

Suddenly!

A furious shout exploded in Qin Feiyang’s mind.

Bang!

He shuddered, instinctively stopped, and swept his gaze over the mountains below.

"What’s wrong with you now?"

Wang Zicheng was about to go crazy.

Qin Feiyang said nothing, his brows slightly furrowed. If he hadn’t misheard, that should’ve been Young Master Hao’s voice just now?

"The ones trying to ambush you are by a pond half a li ahead of you. There are ten of them in total—nine Nine-Star War Saints and one one-star War Emperor."

That voice sounded again in Qin Feiyang’s mind.

"It really is Young Master Hao!"

Qin Feiyang was quite surprised.

He had thought Young Master Hao and Wang Youer had already gone into the Inner Sea, but he hadn’t expected them to still be here waiting for him.

However, his expression didn’t change at all.

He looked up at Wang Zicheng and sent a voice transmission: "We might be in trouble again."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Zicheng was puzzled.

Qin Feiyang secretly said, "There’s an ambush half a li ahead. Nine Nine-Star War Saints and one one-star War Emperor."

"Ambush?"

"How come I don’t see them?"

Wang Zicheng looked at him half-believingly, then turned his head to look forward.

Qin Feiyang hurriedly said, "Don’t look. Let them think we still haven’t noticed them."

Wang Zicheng’s body stiffened. He pretended to casually glance around, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Qin Feiyang, secretly saying, "You sure?"

"Sure."

"Because my sixth sense has never been wrong."

Qin Feiyang replied secretly.

"Sixth sense?"

Wang Zicheng’s mouth twitched hard. Wasn’t it women who had sixth sense? But looking at Qin Feiyang’s serious face, he didn’t seem to be joking, so he quietly asked, "Then are they here for you, or for me?"

"How would I know? Either is possible."

Qin Feiyang said vaguely.

"They really don’t know what’s good for them!"

A cold light burst in Wang Zicheng’s eyes as he sent, "You can use that Invisibility Technique of yours now, right?"

"What do you think?"

Qin Feiyang asked with a grin.

"Then let the hunt begin!"

Wang Zicheng chuckled wickedly. Battle Intent surged, and he swept up Qin Feiyang and dove down, vanishing into the forest below in an instant.
