Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1371 - 583: Mutation of No Return Island
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
Li Yunjing’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he activated instant teleportation once again.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, space collapsed, the sky turned dark, and the traces of the "Shenxiao Battleship" had disappeared.
In the next moment, a hundred miles away, the "Shenxiao Battleship" emerged from the Dimensional Space, continuing its escape towards "Shenxiao Island".
Though those monster fish were ferocious, they ultimately could not keep up with the full-speed escape of the "Shenxiao Battleship", gradually being left behind.
"Phew..."
Seeing the sea region around them was calm and peaceful, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Facing such bizarre changes, even the Nascent Soul Realm Masters were apprehensive, fearing any trouble they couldn’t resist.
The "Shenxiao Battleship" pierced through the clouds, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
The aura of ten Nascent Soul Realm Masters spread outward, bearing a heavy presence that dispersed the clouds, calming the sea below.
Whether flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, or cultivators encountered along the way, all creatures that saw the colossal vessel of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" almost all fled in panic, distancing themselves from the gigantic ship.
Any living being, even ordinary swimming fish without spiritual sense, instinctively sensed danger.
Faced with this warship charging forward, no creature dared to obstruct it, even in the sea regions it passed through where some Tier Four Demon Kings existed.
At this moment, those Demon Kings remained subdued.
Regarding the battleship invading their territory, they could only pretend not to see it.
The journey back was very smooth.
Because there was no need to hide traces as before, the speed of return was very fast.
In just three days, Li Yunjing and the others saw the sea horizon of "Shenxiao Island".
"Phew... finally back!"
Li Yunjing was overjoyed, hastily sent a "Communication Talisman", reporting the detailed events of going to "No Return Island" to the Five Elements Master.
As the "Shenxiao Battleship" approached, the Island Protection Array outside raised nine bronze lamps, fogging up like an Immortal Mountain hidden in the cloud sea.
Evidently, they had already detected the approaching powerful aura, and the array began to alert, preparing to meet any threat.
When the silhouette of the "Shenxiao Battleship" appeared clearly in the sky outside "Shenxiao Island", the array’s aura slowly dissipated.
The cloud sea faded, and the nine bronze lamps disappeared into the island, leaving no trace.
When the "Shenxiao Battleship" docked steadily at the pier, the tense nerves of everyone slightly relaxed.
"Quick! Inform the Five Elements Master, saying we’ve returned!"
Feiyun Master strained to maintain his spirit, shouting at the island disciples.
His face was pale as paper, speaking each word seemed to exhaust him completely due to mana depletion’s aftereffects.
The group dragged heavy steps, flying towards "Shenxiao Temple", shocked glances cast by disciples along the way.
They had never seen these usually high-and-mighty Masters looking so bedraggled.
"Did something happen?"
Every disciple who saw the Ten Great Masters and Li Yunjing felt a pang of doubt.
However, seeing no one had died or was severely injured, they managed to suppress their panic.
At this moment, inside the "Council Hall", the remaining Nascent Soul Realm Masters gathered completely, standing at the door to welcome the return of the ten great experts.
The Five Elements Master was no exception!
He had already known through Li Yunjing’s communication that they achieved a glorious victory.
Now, as heroes return, it’s natural to show respect.
The Five Elements Master stood with hands behind before the "Council Hall", his grey Daoist Robe fluttering in the wind, around him circulating golden, wood, water, fire, earth five-colored halos.
Seeing the ten Nascent Soul Realm experts dragging heavy steps over, he quickly stepped forward, scanning their slightly fatigued appearances, his expression solemn, "You’ve all worked hard!"
"Worked hard for what!"
Master Lei Ze slammed his lightning-patterned spear on the ground, shaking dust from the gaps in the green bricks, coarsely saying, "Let that old coot Lu Tianluo get away!"
His shout startled the black birds perched under the eaves, fluttering away, and turned the smiles of those greeting them into frowns instantly.
Some Nascent Soul Realm Masters staying at "Shenxiao Island" heard Five Elements Master’s account, all knew the operation was successful.
Unexpectedly, Master Lei Ze didn’t seem very satisfied.
Killing four opposing Nascent Soul Realm Masters in addition to those Li Yunjing’s array-induced fatality, they eliminated five Nascent Soul Realm Masters before the war even started.
This battle result should have been enough to thrill everyone.
Some even regretted not being part of it, otherwise, the credit would have been theirs, able to plunder some wealth and receive a reward from the "East Sea Alliance".
Seeing Master Lei Ze’s annoyed expression at this time, people really couldn’t understand, how great the battle result is, and still not satisfied?
Didn’t just one half-crippled Lu Tianluo escape?
It’s already great!
Enough indeed!
"Fellow Daoist Lei Ze, do not blame yourself."
Water Moon Fairy gently stroked the chipped Li Sword, taking light steps forward, silver ornaments in her hair jingling, "Though the battle had regrets, it heavily damaged ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ and ’Four Seas Commerce Association’, and also discovered shocking secrets of ’No Return Island’."
She cast her gaze at Li Yunjing, "Thanks to young friend Yunjing’s vigilance, otherwise we might not have withdrawn intact."
Li Yunjing hurriedly cupped his fists in modest response, yet saw Five Elements Master raise his hand stopping the crowd’s discussion, sleeves releasing five bronze lamps suspended in mid-air, interweaving lights forming an array, securely guarding the council hall.
"This is no place for conversation; let’s enter inside to discuss in detail."
His gaze was like a torch, looking at the bloodstained cuff of Feiyun Master, "The turmoil on ’No Return Island’ may be even more troublesome than we anticipated."
