Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1126 - 470: Water God’s Envoy

Spirit Jade Island?

Liang Yuan turned his gaze to Huang Guangzu, a flicker of puzzlement appearing on his face.

He had no recollection of any such island.

At the very least, prior to the massive flood, no island by that name existed in Linjiang as far as he knew.

Huang Guangzu caught the bewilderment in his eyes and clarified, “Spirit Jade Island holds considerable fame within the city districts.”

“This extraordinary island possesses the ability to drift about, featuring peaks, rivers, and marshlands.”

“Numerous inhabitants dwell upon it, under the command of two sisters—one named Wang Ling’er, the other Wang Yu’er.”

“The island derives its name from these very sisters.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan felt a surge of curiosity: “A drifting island? Could it possibly be... yet another Floating Island?”

“Where might this Spirit Jade Island be located at present?”

Huang Guangzu shook his head: “I have no idea.”

Liang Yuan’s brows knitted together instantly, his expression turning icy.

Huang Guangzu hastened to add, “I truly don’t know—the island drifts at will, never anchoring in one spot.”

“Even the Water God Sect searches relentlessly for Spirit Jade Island; had we any knowledge, we’d have informed them ages ago.”

Liang Yuan creased his forehead and remarked, “A Floating Island ought to span a vast expanse—surely it wouldn’t prove elusive?”

Huang Guangzu responded swiftly, “Not at all; Spirit Jade Island remains compact, resembling a mere hillock, spanning no more than two football fields.”

Liang Yuan stood stunned—merely the size of two football fields?

In that light, it indeed appeared rather modest.

How could a Floating Island be so diminutive?

If accurate, Spirit Jade Island paled dramatically beside Mist City.

The two couldn’t even compare.

Liang Yuan’s brows furrowed deeply before he inquired, “What drives the Water God Sect’s pursuit of Spirit Jade Island?”

He suspected that, as a minor Floating Island, their target must be the brain core and heart core.

Yet for something so tiny, what resources could it possibly yield?

Huang Guangzu replied promptly, “I possess some details on this matter.”

“Rumors claim the two Island Lords of Spirit Jade Island once rallied forces in Guangfu, clashing fiercely with the Three Great Sects and igniting a bitter grudge.”

“Yu Island Lord seized the Water God Sect’s cutting-edge innovations, such as compressed oxygen capsule tech and gill-lung fusion tech, among others.”

“Following that confrontation, the Earth Mother Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect ceased their hunt, but the Water God Sect persists relentlessly, vowing to slaughter all on Spirit Jade Island and retrieve those stolen technologies.”

Liang Yuan absorbed Huang Guangzu’s account, struck with astonishment for a moment.

Did Spirit Jade Island truly harbor the might to challenge Guangfu’s Three Great Sects?

And plunder advanced superpower tech from the Water God Sect no less?

Suddenly, Liang Yuan’s fascination with this elusive Spirit Jade Island intensified.

He pressed at once, “Beyond spreading their doctrine, did the Water God Sect visit to probe for clues on Spirit Jade Island?”

“Indeed.”

“Any leads in your possession?” Liang Yuan demanded sharply.

Huang Guangzu paused briefly yet nodded faintly, “My recent trip to the Three Elements Building brought mention of Spirit Jade Island from their leader.”

“He remained cryptic, withholding details—likely holding out to auction the intel to the Water God Sect for top dollar.”

Liang Yuan’s mind raced as he questioned, “Have the Water God Sect folks visited the Three Elements Building yet?”

“Unlikely—they’d need to go through me to reach it.”

Liang Yuan mulled it over shortly; the rift between Water God Sect and Spirit Jade Island smacked of treacherous waters.

Yet truly, it wasn’t—the Water God Sect, Earth Mother Sect, and Spiritual Ability Sect, those Three Great Sects, all thrived on ruthless tactics.

From Mist City encounters, the Three Great Sects spared no means, compelling breakthroughs sans regard for 50-Point main attributes.

Low odds meant morphing into mutant horrors.

Others simply burst apart in death.

Now, the Three Great Sects scoured everywhere for resources; Yangshan’s bounty proved tempting.

They’d inevitably eye Yangshan soon.

Thus, conflict with the Three Great Sects loomed inevitable for him.

Proactive alliance with their foes beat awaiting doom.

As the adage held: the enemy of one’s enemy becomes an ally.

United forces would bind the Three Great Sects when they struck.

After brief reflection, he instructed Huang Guangzu, “I’ll accompany you to meet the Water God Sect members—carry on exactly as before in your dealings with them.”

Huang Guangzu’s eyes gleamed subtly as he agreed, “Understood.”

Liang Yuan then directed Tu Long, “Tu Long, keep watch over Nai Bai and the rest.”

“Got it,” Tu Long affirmed with a swift nod.

Huang Guangzu dismissed his subordinates to their duties next.

Moments later, a report arrived: Water God Sect arrivals had shown up.

Huang Guangzu glanced at Liang Yuan, who commanded, “Escort them inside.”

Huang Guangzu nodded briskly and ordered Liu Mountain nearby, “Liu Mountain, go receive them.”

Liu Mountain nodded at once and hurried out to usher the visitors.

Before long, Liang Yuan watched Liu Mountain guide in two blue-robed figures with hoods drawn.

Hoods and masks concealed their features entirely.

Once inside, Liu Mountain announced to Huang Guangzu, “Boss, the Water God Envoys have arrived.”

Huang Guangzu avoided glancing at Liang Yuan, rose, and chuckled, “Welcome, honored guests from the Water God Sect.”

The taller left-side blue-robed man from Water God Sect spoke in a frosty tone, “Boss Huang, putting on quite the show—formerly, you’d always welcome Holy Sect members personally.”

Huang Guangzu’s face tightened slightly as he murmured, “Envoy, I do run this place—must I bow and scrape every single visit?”

The shorter blue-robed man scoffed right away, “Reluctant, are you?”

“Hmph!”

The tall Water God Sect envoy unleashed a chilling snort too.

In an instant, a formidable spiritual pressure surged forth, causing all present to groan, their visages twisting in shock.

Huang Guangzu himself winced, a sharp ache pounding his brow.

His countenance shifted as he realized, “Spiritual Attack!”

“Merely a caution,” the tall envoy sneered. “Show proper deference to our Holy Sect henceforth, or next won’t be so gentle.”

Huang Guangzu’s features darkened, yet he refrained from open defiance.

His Light Elementalization offered myriad counters to fellow superpower wielders.

Save against Spirit Ability Users—even elementalized, spiritual assaults pierced through.

Body might turn to light, but mind stayed vulnerable.

In that state, his spiritual essence lurked within the luminous haze.

Spiritual strikes still ravaged it.

Thus, he grasped not the full dread Liang Yuan embodied.

Liang Yuan required no full spiritual unleashing to crush him.

After a flux of emotions, Huang Guangzu swallowed pride and smiled welcomingly.

“What riles the envoys so? Fear not—from here on, I’ll personally receive every Water God Sect visitor.”

“Hmph, see that you do!” the short envoy snorted.

The tall envoy declared, “Summon everyone. Any fresh Water Attribute Superpower Users awakened lately?”

Huang Guangzu denied, “None—my crew hasn’t seen an awakening in ages.”

The tall envoy’s voice grew ominous, “Haven’t surveyed the wilds?”

“Resources here stretch thin; more mouths mean faster depletion,” Huang Guangzu grinned.

The short envoy spat curses, “Idiot, narrow-minded. Lacking numbers, your puny outfit...”

He cut off, adding instead, “Never mind—no news, fine. We’ve brought the Genetic Awakening Inducer this round.”

“This serum sparks awakening in normals. Hand it out—get them using it pronto.”

Huang Guangzu eyed it skeptically, querying, “A serum forcing awakening in ordinaries? Costly stuff—wasted on them?”

The short envoy explained, “Mission incentive from Water God Sect. Expedite distribution.”

Huang Guangzu protested mildly, “Doesn’t this cheat other superpower users?”

“They bled through perils to awaken, yet normals inject serum for powers? Far too...”

Words escaped him momentarily.

It cheapened their grueling triumphs.

The short envoy dismissed coolly, “Genetic Awakening Inducer boasts no perfect odds.”

Huang Guangzu probed eagerly, “Success odds?”

“Ten percent.”

“What!”

Huang Guangzu reeled but recovered, “Ten percent’s slim, yet hope for the hopeless.”

He exhaled, deeming ten percent tolerable.

Suddenly Liang Yuan interjected, “Side effects on this serum?”

Both envoys snapped attention to him.

The short one demanded icily, “Who’re you?”

Huang Guangzu intervened, “Envoys, he’s my brother.”

The short envoy mocked, “You got speaking privileges here?”

Liang Yuan laughed lightly, “Just curiosity speaking.”

The tall envoy retorted coldly, “Side effects abound—think normals snag elite serum gratis?”

Huang Guangzu couldn’t hold back, “What effects?”

“Failure yields mutants mild, explosions fatal severe.”

“What!”

Huang Guangzu cried out.

This mirrored forcing ordinaries into mortal gambles anew?

Failed awakenings meant monstrosity or instant demise?

The short envoy intoned flatly, “Power demands sacrifice.”

Shifting gears, the tall envoy commanded, “Assemble all for Water God baptism.”

“Spirit Jade Island intel?”

Huang Guangzu wavered, eyeing Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan gave a subtle nod.

Huang Guangzu inhaled deeply, “We possess some.”

“Hmm?” The tall envoy’s pitch rose in astonishment, “Spirit Jade Island leads?”

The short envoy pressed hungrily, “Spill it.”

Huang Guangzu disclosed, “Mi Peiwen at Three Elements Building mentioned recent contact with Spirit Jade Island folk during my last visit.”

“Three Elements Building?”

The tall envoy muttered, then shared a look with his counterpart.

“You handle baptism here; I’ll relay this upstream,” the tall envoy stated firmly.

The short envoy assented, “Right!”

Thereupon, the tall envoy spun on heel and departed swiftly.
