Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1001: This Is the Island Master’s Lord?

The Tenth Sea Region.

Within the Absolute Water House, the waters churned, and with a sudden surge, a brilliant formation light erupted.

Hundreds of formidable individuals emerged from the formation.

These were the powerhouses hailing from Skyreach Island.

"Vice Island Lord, those few couldn't have gotten far. If we pursue from this very spot, we should catch up shortly!"

Liang Wei nodded, a fawning grin on his face, and spoke.

"Lead the way!"

Vice Island Lord Zhao Kui gestured expansively, his voice cold.

He possessed thick eyebrows and large eyes, exuding an imposing aura. This burly middle-aged man hailed from the Fifth Sea Area and had only recently become affiliated with Skyreach Island.

His cultivation base had already ascended to the tenth layer of the True God Realm.

Within the entirety of Skyreach Island, his combat prowess ranked among the top ten.

The subordinates he had brought with him possessed a minimum cultivation base of the third layer of the True God Realm, with many exceeding the sixth layer of the True God Realm.

The reason for his extensive mobilization was also driven by a desire to secure these two Divine-level treasures.

Zhao Kui aimed to present a significant contribution before the Island Master emerged from his retreat.

After all, he had joined Skyreach Island with ulterior motives.

A formidable adversary had relentlessly pursued him for years.

He was compelled to seek refuge within Skyreach Island.

Skyreach Island's might was undeniable, not only abundant in experts but also possessing a potent island-guarding formation, thus deterring his enemy from direct confrontation.

Consequently, he had found relative safety in recent times.

His pursuer, intimidated by the island's strength, dared not continue to harass him.

The entourage departed the Absolute Water House, ascending from the sea. Someone produced a reconnaissance artifact, discreetly probing the surrounding ambient energy before swiftly heading in a particular direction.

Ye Yun and his companions were not traveling at maximum speed; to accommodate their junior sister, he matched Gu Anran's pace.

Although Gu Anran possessed Teleportation Boots, this treasure was primarily intended for escapes and combat. Utilizing it for continuous travel proved excessively draining.

Consequently, Gu Anran refrained from employing them.

"The Skyreach Island contingent is approaching..."

Abruptly, the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman offered a slight smile and turned her gaze backward.

Gu Anran also swiveled around, peering into the distance. Finding nothing discernible, she inquired with surprise, "Sister Luo Ye, your divine sense is remarkably potent. What is your cultivation base?"

"True God Realm..."

Luo Ye paused.

Before she could complete her sentence, Ye Yun placed a hand on her shoulder and chuckled, "Your Sister Luo Ye's cultivation base isn't particularly high, merely the third layer of the True God Realm. However, she possesses unique artifacts that grant her the ability to sense over vast distances..."

"So, it relies on treasures?"

Gu Anran mused, then looked towards Ye Yun and inquired, "Senior Brother, wasn't that crafted by you, the Refining Master?"

"You have guessed correctly!"

Ye Yun rubbed his forehead, a flush of embarrassment coloring his aged countenance once more.

"Hmph, Senior Brother is being partial. Why don't you bestow upon me a similar treasure?"

Gu Anran pouted, articulating her desire.

Observing the young girl's nascent jealousy, Ye Yun scratched his head and responded with a helpless smile, "Once we arrive at Skyreach Island, if Senior Brother has the leisure, I shall forge one for you!"

"Now, that's more like it!"

Gu Anran giggled gleefully.

Beside them, the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman repeatedly shook her head.

Ye Yun's magnanimity towards his junior sister was so pronounced that it stirred a faint sense of envy within her.

Over a hundred cultivators at the True God stage, appearing as a formidable dark cloud, advanced from afar.

"Are those the three figures ahead?"

Zhao Kui, with hands clasped behind his back and an imposing demeanor, directed his gaze toward the three distant white figures.

"Indeed, it is those three. The youngest girl is in possession of two Divine-level treasures. As for that man, he appears quite formidable, perhaps comparable in strength to yourself, Island Master..."

Liang Wei whispered, relaying his assessment.

"Excellent. This endeavor will yield significant merit. Once I secure those two treasures, I shall undoubtedly petition the Island Master for a generous reward for you!"

Zhao Kui let out a hearty laugh.

As they exchanged words, their group had already closed the distance.

The multitude swiftly encircled the trio.

"Hehe, you fellow in white, did you truly underestimate our Skyreach Island? Our people have arrived now!"

Liang Wei crossed his arms, emitting continuous sneers.

Ye Yun found the posturing of these True God Realm mortals rather amusing.

He inquired nonchalantly, "And so what if you are here? What sort of disturbances can mere shrimps and crabs from Skyreach Island possibly stir up?"

"Insolence! How dare you refer to us as shrimps and crabs?"

Liang Wei flew into a rage and pointed towards Zhao Kui by his side, proclaiming with evident pride, "This is Zhao, the Vice Island Lord of Skyreach Island, a cultivator of thetenth layer of the True God Realm!"

"Hmph!"

Gu Anran, hands placed casually behind her back, let out a resonant laugh. "What is so exceptional about the tenth layer of the True God Realm? You are still merely a Vice Island Lord!"

Zhao Kui was quaking with rage, bellowing, "You impudent girl! Tell me, which force do you hail from?"

"My origins are not worth mentioning; even if I told you, you wouldn't know!"

Gu Anran responded with a smile, shaking her head.

She hailed from the Cangnan Continent; how could these cultivators from the Divine Land recognize such a place?

"Attack!"

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Zhao Kui made a sweeping gesture with his hand and gave the command to attack.

Gu Anran's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "You dare attack us? My senior brother is acquainted with your Skyreach Island's high-ranking members!"

"Acquainted with Skyreach Island's high-ranking members? Which one do you know?"

Zhao Kui's body went rigid as he hastily inquired.

The others also halted their actions, listening intently.

"Senior Brother!"

Gu Anran blinked and then looked towards Ye Yun.

"Little Junior Sister, why are you aiding these individuals?"

Ye Yun chuckled, shaking his head.

Gu Anran leaned in and whispered, "Aren't we heading to Skyreach Island? If we become too hostile, won't it affect your relationship with your Island Master friend?"

"What you say holds merit."

Ye Yun offered a slight smile, acknowledging his little junior sister's thoughtfulness.

He raised his head, facing Zhao Kui, and stated calmly, "I am acquainted with Jiang Hengyue."

"What? You know our Island Master?"

Zhao Kui was initially astonished, then burst into uproarious laughter.

"My Island Master's name echoes throughout the Ten Great Ocean Regions; nearly everyone knows it. You are clearly spouting nonsense!"

Zhao Kui slapped his thigh, laughing until he was out of breath.

"Haha!"

Upon hearing this, the others joined in with laughter.

"Laugh at this!"

A cold voice suddenly echoed from a distance.

Swish... A streak of green light, moving at an incredibly terrifying speed, pierced through the void and rapidly approached.

The green light descended, solidifying into a young man clad in verdant armor.

"Greetings, Island Master!"

The moment everyone beheld Jiang Hengyue, fully armored, they immediately dropped to their knees.

Zhao Kui was among them.

Jiang Hengyue strode forward, reaching Ye Yun's presence, and abruptly knelt.

His face alight with excitement and trembling visibly, he spoke, "Master, I have failed to discipline my subordinates properly. I beg for your punishment!"

Following these words.

All the cultivators of Skyreach Island stared in disbelief as their Island Master knelt before the youth in white.

This is the Island Master’s master?

Who exactly is this youth clad in white?

The hearts of everyone present churned with immense shock.

Among them, Liang Wei was the most terrified, nearly wetting himself.

"Execute the instigator and the leader..."

Ye Yun stated with composure.

"Yes!"

Jiang Hengyue responded swiftly.

A flash of green light appeared, and before Liang Wei could even utter a scream, he was dispatched.

Vice Island Lord Zhao Kui, in a state of panic, attempted to intervene but was powerless against Jiang Hengyue in his Asura Armor.

The subsequent sword strike that followed swiftly ended his life.
