Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1642 - 1640: My Rod

With the mutual sensing between the original and the doppelganger, it makes subsequent actions more convenient. If the original isn't left behind here, even if Lu Ye finds a suitable place, he wouldn't be able to promptly notify Yann Miao.

Transmitting messages is unrealistic, as the isolation by the All Phenomena Ocean's seawater is too severe, even if the distance is close, the audio talisman's messages can't be transmitted.

Actually, this location could allow Yann Miao to go out to sea, but since no landing spot has been found, it's ultimately unsuitable.

Lu Ye wants to find an uninhabited deserted island more so, so that after Yann Miao goes out to sea, there will be at least a place to land.

"What's the matter?" Yann Miao saw Lu Ye returning so quickly and thought something might have happened.

"No worries, Great Elder, follow me." Lu Ye greeted, then led Yann Miao in a direction, with the doppelganger journeying on the sea surface.

In no time, he saw a deserted island ahead.

This place should be quite remote in the All Phenomena Ocean, as Lu Ye doesn't see many cultivators passing by, making such a deserted island meet his requirements.

He approached leisurely, but upon getting closer, he discovered there were actually a few people on the deserted island, seemingly fishing!

Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh; he himself was an angler for a while, receiving careful guidance and teaching from Piao Ke, so he is fairly familiar with the fish resource locations in the All Phenomena Ocean.

Normally, the area where Angling Island is located has the richest fishing resources, followed by several other fishing spots.

This location generally doesn't have White Spirit come over, but things aren't absolute. Since there are anglers here at the moment, it undoubtedly indicates there are fishing resources here.

Now that there are people, Lu Ye naturally wants to avoid them.

But just as he was preparing to do so, he suddenly frowned, for he noticed from afar that the figures on the island's edge seemed familiar.

Exerting his Ocular Power to look, indeed, familiar!

This is… taking my words lightly huh?

Lu Ye pondered slightly, then flashed toward that direction.

On the island, four people gathered, three men and one woman. The three men held rods, patiently fishing, while the only beautiful woman had taken a Taishi Chair, lazily lying on it. There was a table beside the chair, with several dishes of spirit fruit placed on it, eating delightedly.

"Someone's coming!" Suddenly, the man in the middle position, who was relatively short, spoke. Originally, it was just a reminder for the companions to stay alert since their cultivation wasn't high, and if anyone intended harm here, it would inevitably lead to a confrontation.

After speaking the words, he fixed his eyes and his face turned dark: "It's Lu Yiye!"

"What?" The woman lazily lying on the chair, with much of her skin exposed, jumped up like a startled rabbit, looking in the direction the short man was looking. Sure enough, she saw Lu Ye coming along leisurely from that side.

With a twitch at the corner of her eye, the woman cursed: "Which bastard secretly informed?"

If no one had informed, how could Lu Ye coincidentally find such a godforsaken place? To avoid being discovered by Lu Ye, they specifically didn't visit a lively place like Angling Island, yet unexpectedly, they still didn't manage to avoid him.

A man standing upright with a posture like a sword spoke: "There's a traitor! Must execute!"

Another man, physique robust with blood Qi like a tide, nodded, expressing not to let himself find out who reported secretly, or else there'll be payback!

Imagine them, was it easy? Each one was a figure that once led an era, finally achieving success only to be sent to Blood Refinement World, and then finally achieving again, following Lu Ye to this All Phenomena Ocean, discovering that they are merely cultivators at the bottom.

Wanting to become stronger! Wanting to cultivate!

Need spirit jade!

It's said fishing is a good way to make money, as catching just one fish means thousands of spirit jade, so despite Lu Ye advising them against entering this realm, they still sneaked over.

They can't let Lu Ye know, to avoid being lectured!

Imagine them, grown with quite some age, being lectured by someone young like Lu Ye… Isn't that losing face?

But now, Lu Ye still found them!

Run, and it seems guilty; don't run, and it's somewhat awkward.

Moments later, Lu Ye landed on the island and glanced at the former four Great War Generals under the first senior brother!

Finding the four here was truly unexpected, but thinking it over, they should be deliberately avoiding him, hence choosing such a desolate place.

"Yiye ah…" Wuchang looked at Lu Ye, with an embarrassed expression.

Lu Ye had previously told him face to face that fishing wasn't reliable and not to consider it, yet now he's caught red-handed, evidently showing mistrust in Lu Ye.

Actually, it's not that he doesn't trust Lu Ye, it's just that he wants to verify whether this earning method is reliable.

"Are you fishing?" Lu Ye, hands behind his back, asked casually.

Wuchang saw his demeanor, seeming not to mind much, relaxed his heart, and nodded: "Fishing."

"How's the catch?" Lu Ye asked.

Wuchang smiled bitterly: "There's no fish here!"

Otherwise, Lady Moon wouldn't be sitting there eating spirit fruit. Her fishing rod was placed by the shore; after the bait went into the water, it wasn't cared for, with no movement until now.

"You can't fish like this." Lu Ye appeared proficient, "If you want to fish, at the very least, you should find a good spot. The area around Angling Island isn't bad. Whether you catch anything or not, at least there'll be some activity from time to time."

Wuchang was surprised, "Yiye, have you fished before?"

Earlier, when Lu Ye advised them not to get involved in this matter, Wuchang thought Lu Ye was very averse to it. But listening to Lu Ye's tone now, why does he sound like a seasoned angler?

"Of course I have. When I first arrived at the All Phenomena Ocean, I was an angler for a while!"

Mong Jie, who was nearby, became interested and buzzed in a deep voice, "How did it turn out?"

Lu Ye sighed, "It's unbearable to recall, my fishing rod was pulled away by fish, lost a fortune and ended up with nothing. That's why I advised you not to fish."

Lady Moon spat out a grape seed nearby and couldn't help but laugh, "Yiye, even if you want to persuade us, don't talk about such irrelevant things. We've looked into it; the White Spirit isn't big enough to pull the rod away. Back then, you at least were a Constellation and had defeated Moon Jade."

Lu Ye said, "That's how it happened!"

Just as he finished speaking, the fishing rod Lady Moon had set beside the shore suddenly started moving, as if some giant creature had taken the bait. The fishing line, which had been silent, suddenly went taut, pulling the rod toward the sea.

Lady Moon reacted quickly, jumping up from her chair and moved to the shore, reaching out to grab the rod.

But still, she grabbed at nothing.

Plop...

The fishing rod fell into the water, disappearing in an instant!

Lady Moon froze, as did Wuchang and the others, staring fixedly at the rapidly disappearing splash.

"My rod!" Lady Moon's heart ached to the point of bleeding. Although the rod was second-hand, bought from someone else, it had cost some spirit jade, and now, without even a catch, it was dragged away.

Compared to Lady Moon's heartbreak, Wuchang and the others were actually invigorated; anglers are not afraid of a lack of fish, but rather of not having any activity while fishing.

The random spot they chose had never had any activity, who would've thought there was actually fish here.

Even Lady Moon's rod was taken away, the fish must be really big!

At this moment, Wuchang's eyes widened, exclaiming, "There's activity!"

His words fell, raising the rod abruptly, and a screeching sound of taut fishing line echoed, followed by the fishing rod bending into a large arc.

Wuchang became very excited, "Big catch!"

But as soon as he spoke, he realized something was wrong, because the force coming from below the sea was absurdly strong, he couldn't control the rod at all.

In just an instant, the rod was pulled into the water, and Wuchang found himself uncontrollably lunging forward.

"Hmm?" Wuchang was utterly baffled; no one had heard of such a huge creature under the sea...

The faces of Jian Guhong and Mong Jie on either side changed, and Jian Guhong yelled, "Let go!" while also striking out with his sword, slicing at the fishing line.

If he didn't let go, Wuchang would be dragged into the sea.

But this change happened suddenly, and when Wuchang let go, it was already slightly late, watching himself almost get dragged into the sea.

At the critical moment, a force came from behind, suspending him above the sea.

Regaining his senses, Wuchang, drenched in cold sweat, turned his stiff expression towards Lu Ye behind him. If it weren't for Lu Ye grabbing him, he would've fallen into the sea.

Though he hadn't been here long, he'd heard enough about the dangers within the All Phenomena Ocean to get calluses on his ears; it's a place even Sun Blaze wouldn't dare enter deeply.

Another screech echoed, this time from Jian Guhong's direction. Having witnessed Wuchang's predicament firsthand, Jian Guhong was prepared and reacted immediately.

He instantly felt Wuchang's helplessness because the force from below was something he couldn't contend with. After a brief stalemate, Jian Guhong sensibly let go, letting the rod fall into the water.

Wuchang and Lady Moon widened their eyes in confusion, unable to comprehend what was happening. They had been fishing here for most of the day without a single stir, then suddenly faced such drastic movements.

The loss wasn't small; out of four people, three rods were dragged away.

Only Mong Jie remained!

"You guys are too weak!" Mong Jie hadn't realized the gravity of the problem. As a physique cultivator, he disdainfully signaled that if the fish dared to bite his hook, he'd surely pull it up for them to see!

In the next moment, his expression hardened because the fish... really took the bait!

However, when Mong Jie began to wrestle with it, he suddenly found something wrong; this wasn't about Wuchang's strength, but the force coming from the other side was beyond what cultivators of their level could withstand.

Even though he was a physique cultivator with strength far surpassing the other three, he was quickly at a disadvantage in this struggle.

This can't be right! How could this happen?

The sound of a sword rang out, and a Sword Qi slashed through, cutting Mong Jie's fishing line; it was Jian Guhong striking to cut off the line.

Mong Jie staggered back a few steps, staring at his rod without a line, deep in thought!
