Cold Youth arrived at the door of the cell where Wei Chen and Han Mang were held, accompanied by a team. His face remained as indifferent as ever, giving off an aura that was nothing but coldness.
"You can come out now, but I warn you, don't cause any trouble on Penglai Island. This is not a place for you to act recklessly. In the Earth Soul Realm Level Four, you might be considered decent elsewhere, but on Penglai Island, with so many strong members of the Sea Tribe around, if you stir up trouble, the consequences will be dire," Cold Youth said.
Wei Chen quickly forced a smile. "Don't worry, we'll leave right away and won't linger on Penglai Island. We won't come back here again. As the saying goes, 'the well water does not intrude upon the river water.' The Sea Tribe and the human race are not enemies, and we certainly won't be your enemies."
Han Mang nodded in agreement. "You can rest easy, brother. We're not people who don't know the situation."
"Enough chatter. You can leave now. Follow me to meet someone important; your fate is not something I can decide," Cold Youth replied.
After a moment of knocking on the door, the formation opened up, allowing Wei Chen and Han Mang to exit the cell.
As Cold Youth performed his technique to unlock the formation, both Wei Chen and Han Mang watched him intently. Although his method was intricate, they were both talented in formations themselves. After observing once, they contemplated for a moment and found a way to break the prison's formation.
They followed Cold Youth slowly out of the prison. The last barrier was still a formation that Cold Youth could not open alone; it required all three of them working together to break through.
"This prison is truly terrifying; such a strong formation must be at least Ninth-Rank High-Level," Wei Chen thought to himself.
Once outside the prison, Han Mang discreetly glanced at Wei Chen, signaling him to remain calm.
Wei Chen subtly nodded in response. Han Mang sensed that there was a Demon Lotus lurking within his soul, and with Wei Chen's even stronger spiritual perception, he naturally picked up on it too. They were being secretly monitored by no less than ten powerful individuals from all directions; those presences were incredibly strong, all above the Human Soul Realm, with several even stronger than Han Mang himself.
Once there was the slightest movement, escape from Penglai Island was impossible.
Wei Chen and Han Mang felt a chill in their hearts. In this cursed place, on the massive island of the Sea Monster Emperor's Palace, their strength seemed utterly inadequate.
After following Cold Youth for a while, they entered a tall building that appeared to have more than ten stories.
"When did the Sea Tribe learn to build such skyscrapers?" Wei Chen thought to himself, a look of confusion crossing his face as he glanced deeply at Han Mang.
Han Mang shook his head slightly, indicating that he also didn't know. It was well known that the Sea Tribe was indeed a formidable presence in the ocean, but on land, they were considered barbaric tribes. The building before them towered several dozen meters high, exuding an imposing atmosphere. When had the Sea Tribe acquired such craftsmanship?
"The person in charge is inside. You'd better be polite; otherwise, dying here won't be fun," Cold Youth said as he led the way into the first floor. Wei Chen and Han Mang followed him inside, where they found themselves in a spacious hall. On either side of the hall stood several middle-aged men with concealed auras, all of whom were powerful figures. Their eyes were half-closed as they lowered their heads, occasionally glancing up at Wei Chen and Han Mang with cold, piercing gazes.
Wei Chen and Han Mang stood quietly in the hall, exchanging worried glances. They both felt that things were not looking good. There were far too many strong individuals from the Sea Tribe on Penglai Island; it felt as if they had fallen into an inferno with no way out.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, a young man in his early twenties entered the hall with several middle-aged guards, striding confidently like a dragon or tiger.
The young man was exceptionally handsome; even Wei Chen, who usually considered himself quite presentable, felt a sense of self-consciousness wash over him. The saying that the Sea Tribe produced beautiful men and women was certainly true.
"Are you from the Eastern Region?" the Handsome Young Man asked as he scrutinized Wei Chen and Han Mang with a calm demeanor.
"Yes, we came from the Eastern Region. We flew over Penglai Island but could not hold on any longer and landed here. We only wanted to rest for a while before leaving; we never intended to oppose the Sea Tribe," Old Man Han Mang replied with a broad smile, eager to placate.
"Recently, many Human Race Experts have come to Penglai Island, and we can't help but feel concerned. In the past, we wouldn't have cared about adventurers like you," the Handsome Young Man said.
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Chen replied with a broad smile, bowing respectfully.
Seeing that Wei Chen and Han Mang were behaving well, the Handsome Young Man furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Are you really not here for the opening of the Penglai Secret Realm?"
"Of course not. To be honest, we've never even heard of that thing of yours," Han Mang explained.
He spoke calmly, but inside, he was in turmoil.
"The opening of the Penglai Secret Realm—damn it! So it's actually the opening of the Penglai Secret Realm! No wonder there are so many Sea Tribe warriors guarding Penglai Island. The opening of the Penglai Secret Realm is a major event for the Sea Tribe; the Sea Witch Empress will definitely be present. Those Human Race Experts who have come here could be of some high level; even the Sea Tribe fears them deeply! Otherwise, with the strength on Penglai Island, they could just kill everyone without any trouble."
The Handsome Young Man pondered for a moment before saying lightly, "I don't know your names or which faction you belong to among One Dragon, the Three Emperors, the Three Merchants, or the Ten Sects. Or perhaps you come from the Fire Sect?"
One Dragon refers to the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Group in the Central Domain; the Three Emperors refers to three Holy Dynasty Royal Families within the Central Domain; the Three Merchants refers to three Merchant Guilds; and the Ten Sects naturally refers to the ten Nine-Rank Sects in the Central Domain. The Fire Sect is the only Tenth Rank top-tier Cloud Spirit Sect in Soul World.
The Handsome Young Man's gaze was fixed intently on Wei Chen and Han Mang.
What he saw was confusion mixed with a bitter smile.
Han Mang shook his head helplessly and said, "Young Master, you overestimate us. We come from Ling Sheng Dynasty, which is considered a decent power in the Eastern Region, but compared to those top-tier forces in Central Domain, we can't even be mentioned in the same breath."
"Eastern Region? Ling Sheng Dynasty? A place like that can produce Earth Soul Realm Level Four experts and Spirit Wisdom Realm Sevenfold youths?" The Handsome Young Man asked in surprise.
"I won't hide it from you; I have some standing in the Ling Sheng Dynasty. I established an organization called Peach Blossom Island, but later there was turmoil, and it split into two factions. One half has already gone to the Central Domain. We want to go to the Central Domain for revenge," Han Mang said.
"Since you're not adventurers, why don't you choose to take the Warship of the Blackwater Sect and Granny Lin?" the Handsome Young Man asked, frowning.
Granny Lin is Han Mang's old lover, who holds a significant position in Blackwater Territory; her true identity is that she is the younger sister of the Blackwater Sect's leader.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Han Mang's face. Wei Chen pointed at him and said, "Old Man Han Mang has a complicated history with Granny Lin, which is why we can't board the Warship. Meanwhile, our companions have already taken Granny Lin's Warship and are likely in Blackwater Territory by now."
Hearing this, the Handsome Young Man's mind began to race, and he quickly understood White Out.
With a half-smile, he glanced at Han Mang and said, "I am Ji Feng, the Fourteenth Prince of the Sea Tribe. I let you go this time in hopes of forming a good relationship. Penglai Island isn't too far from Blackwater Territory. If you gain power in Blackwater Territory, please don't set your sights on us at Penglai Island."
"Fourth Prince Yang Minghuang, you overestimate us. With our current strength, we wouldn't even be enough to serve as a snack for those strong ones on Penglai Island," Wei Chen replied with a bitter smile.
"That's good then. What are your names?" Ji Feng asked.
"I'm Wei Chen."
"I'm Han Mang," the old man replied.
Ji Feng nodded and said, "You can leave now. If I ever go to Blackwater Territory, I hope you will take care of me."
Upon hearing this, Han Mang and Wei Chen were taken aback. This guy, the Fourteenth Prince of the Sea Tribe, wants them to take care of him when he goes to Blackwater Territory? Was he implying that when his army marches into Central Domain and Blackwater Territory, they should act as his informants?
Wei Chen and Han Mang dared not speak.
"You are overthinking it. I just want to visit the Central Domain. My purpose for coming to Penglai Island this time is to explore the Central Domain after the closure of the Penglai Secret Realm. Don't worry, we from the Sea Tribe look no different from your human race on the outside, so we won't cause you any trouble," Ji Feng said calmly.
Wei Chen and Han Mang nodded in response.
Unlike Han Mang's joy, Wei Chen had other thoughts regarding Ji Feng.
Ji Feng... Ji Mei...
The similarity of their names was striking!
That guy Musa was right; Ji Mei was indeed the daughter of the Sea Witch Empress!
Seeing Wei Chen's strange expression, Ji Feng frowned and asked, "Wei Chen, do you have something to say?"
Wei Chen looked directly at Ji Feng and asked slowly, "I want to know what your relationship with Ji Mei is."
"Ah? You know my sister?"
Ji Mei exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape. The powerful middle-aged men in the hall also looked at Wei Chen in astonishment, wondering how this young man could possibly know the First Princess of the Sea Clan.
Unlike the ranking system within the Holy Dynasty of the human empire, in the Sea Tribe, the rank of princes and princesses is not determined by age but by the titles bestowed by the Sea Witch Empress. For instance, the title of First Prince often changes, and it’s uncertain when Ji Feng might become the First Prince of the Sea Tribe.
Both Wei Chen and Han Mang had heard of such calculation methods.
Upon hearing Ji Feng's words, Wei Chen was taken aback. Sister?
"Looking at Ji Feng, it seems that Ji Mei and he truly share a sibling bond? Among the many princes and princesses of the Sea Tribe, their relationships are extremely complex. If they weren't full siblings, he certainly wouldn't have such an expression."
Wei Chen thought to himself, nodding as he cupped his fists towards Ji Feng. "I am an old acquaintance of Ji Mei; we can be considered good friends. Back in the Eastern Wasteland at the Cloud Spirit Sect, Ji Mei was my senior sister and saved my life."
"Brother Wei, you can't be joking, right? With my sister's temperament, would she really save a human's life?" Ji Feng exclaimed in surprise.
"Absolutely true. Is she currently on Penglai Island? Let her come out, and we can find out," Wei Chen replied solemnly.
"Alright, please wait a moment," Ji Feng hurriedly said as he left.
Han Mang leaned closer to Wei Chen and whispered, "Are you sure about that Sea Princess? We could already be leaving; don't stir up trouble here!"
"I'm not certain, but I don't want to leave with regrets. Old man, you and Granny Lin have always had your regrets, but I'm different from you; I don't want to depart with any lingering feelings. Musa must have received news about Ji Mei intentionally passed on by her; otherwise, he wouldn't know those details. Since that's the case, Ji Mei must want me to find her," Wei Chen whispered back.
Han Mang nodded helplessly. After finally being able to escape, now with Wei Chen stirring things up, the outcome became increasingly uncertain.
About half an hour later, a familiar figure appeared before Wei Chen's eyes.
