Upon hearing Geng Kun say he was about to lead them on an important mission, the three people ahead all buzzed with excitent, Shi Feiyang also hastily perked up his spirits.
"At the edge of the East Sea lies rfolk Island, you all know of it, right? Not long ago, Qian Jini went back ho for a visit and was driven out by the rfolk King, along with a heap of curses towards . Qian Jini was unwilling to let it go and gathered hundreds of his subordinates to seek revenge. That’s when the rfolk King had the Demon Path cultivator Wu Qiming step in, and he killed many of our children!"
Anger painted Geng Kun’s handso face, "I want to wipe out rfolk Island, and killing Wu Qiming is but a flick of my fingers, but you have all cultivated with for many years, and I want to test your progress. This ti, co with to rfolk Island and battle Wu Qiming!"
Yuan Ming, upon hearing this, raised his fist, his voice booming, "This trip, we must flatten rfolk Island, rip off Wu Qiming’s head!"
Qian Jiquan, however, worriedly said, "That Demon Path cultivator is quite powerful. If master were to act, it would naturally be as simple as flapping one’s wings to turn him to ash, but if it is just us, I fear... we might be insufficient!"
Geng Kun was furious, "You previously went to seek revenge on your own, causing us to lose many children and weakening the reputation of my Winged Daoist. That was truly detestable! I was going to severely punish you, but Yi’er pleaded on your behalf, allowing you to redeem yourself through rits. Yet you still dampen your own fighting spirit, how pathetic! This ti Yi’er and Monkey will assist you. I have also specially invited nephew Shi. Furthermore, I’ll be personally overseeing from behind. If you still can’t beat him, I’ll see if I don’t flay you and carve out your heart and lungs!"
Qian Jiquan shivered with fear, quickly expressing his determination, "Master, please be at ease, this ti I will risk my life to kill Wu Qiming for you, and I will not let your reputation be tarnished."
Geng Kun sneered coldly, "My reputation is not sothing your incompetence could sully. I have nothing to be worried about. You’re not killing him for ; just make good use of this opportunity!"
Qian Jiquan nodded subserviently.
Before leaving, Geng Kun imparted a Spell, "That Demon Path cultivator has a Magical Treasure called the Mind Capturing Mirror that can capture one’s True Form and then place a curse. I’ll teach you the Phantom Skill, enabling you to change into an Illusion at any mont for him to capture, rendering his efforts futile."
He passed the Spell to the three subordinates as well as Shi Feiyang. Once they had practiced it proficiently, he had them go back to gather a hundred subordinates each and convene at Roc Bay.
A hundred winged creatures, so with human heads and bird bodies, so with human bodies and wings, so pitch black like crows, others colorful like chickens, so with long beaks like cranes, others with sharp beaks like eagles. They soared through the skies, flapping their wings, encircling Su Nanyi as they spiraled upwards.
A hundred mbers of the Water Clan, so with human heads and tortoise bodies, so half-human half-fish, so resembling frogs, others resembling sea turtles, so resembling seahorses, others resembling jellyfish. Each holding a weapon, they floated on the sea surface, loudly shouting.
There was also a hundred land beasts, with ox heads and horse faces, dog mouths and monkey cheeks—the most bizarre varieties one could imagine—standing on a large swath of sea which had been solidified by a Prohibition Technique, howling away.
Once everyone had gathered, Geng Kun gestured, and the "great army" set off. The Water Clan sliced through waves as they swam forward, the winged creatures flapped their wings and flew ahead, and the land beasts ran across the sea surface, which, under Geng Kun’s Heavenly Forbidden Technique, resembled a solid layer of ice. Even elephants could run on it without issue. As the army moved, the sea in front was continuously solidified, while the Prohibition Technique behind them was lifted, always keeping hundreds of acres of sea available for the land beasts’ footing.
If Geng Kun were to fly by himself, claiming he could cover thousands of miles in an instant would not be an exaggeration. However, this ti he wanted to test the results of his disciples’ Cultivation. He flew slowly among the birds, relishing the feeling of being surrounded, and the various creatures all showed off their Divine Skills, swallowing clouds and exhaling mists, striving forwards. Although it was a group journey, the speed was extrely fast. They all stayed close to Geng Kun, without a single one falling behind.
Shi Feiyang pondered his identity as a mber of the Water Clan and decided to descend into the water and swim alongside the team.
Geng Kun saw him and spoke up, "Haven’t you already mastered the art of cloud riding? Why are you still swimming in the water?"
Though they were at least five miles apart, Shi Feiyang called back, "The sea water is refreshing. It’s been a long ti since I caught fish and played with shrimps. I missed it quite a bit."
He was making an excuse for himself. He certainly couldn’t outright say that he didn’t know whether to join your land, sea, or air troops, right?
But as soon as those words escaped him, all the mystic creatures looked over with astonishnt, as if he had spoken out of line and Geng Kun would slaughter him in the next mont.
These demons deeply feared Geng Kun. Since Geng Kun had ordered everyone to raze rfolk Island, they had to proceed with this objective in mind, courageously and without deception or trickery. Shi Feiyang’s statent that he missed catching fish and playing with shrimps in the water while on the march was akin to disrespecting Geng Kun, as if he believed he had lived too long!
The air turned tense. The area fell silent except for the waves, and even the birds in the sky flapped their wings cautiously.
Shi Feiyang didn’t realize what he’d said wrong and looked sowhat embarrassed. Fortunately, he was a dragon now, and Geng Kun couldn’t read his expression.
Geng Kun observed Shi Feiyang and pondered in silence. All other creatures held their breath and tensed up, so were schadenfreude, eagerly waiting to see how Geng Kun would deal with this foolish Black Dragon. So were even thinking that if Geng Kun killed the Demon Dragon, they might get to taste a piece of dragon flesh or drink so dragon blood since they had never eaten it before. Other demons often boasted about the delicacy of dragon at and the sweetness of dragon blood.
After about a dozen seconds of silence, Geng Kun finally spoke, "I heard that you once dueled with Zhuge Jingwo of the Ei Sect and that sly vixen Seductress, fighting them both alone and making the wind and clouds change color. You have yet to display your power since you arrived at Roc Bay; I had assud you were just another arrogant and promiscuous sort, vastly different from these beasts I’ve gathered over the years. Could it be that your second senior brother took you in precisely because of this?"
Shi Feiyang, anxious, didn’t know how to respond. Just as he thought of a suitable reply, Geng Kun waved his hand, "Once we reach rfolk Island and confront that Demon Path sorcerer Wu Qiming, make sure you exert yourself. Firstly, to show gratitude for your master’s kindness and, secondly, to let witness your true abilities!"
Then he ordered the team to continue marching forward.
Three hundred demons peered at him with various expressions—so curious, so envious, so admiring...
Shi Feiyang didn’t know how to relieve the awkwardness he felt. He lowered his head and dove back into the water, and the Water Clan mbers poked their heads out and followed his lead, swimming forward while observing him. He subrged deeper, until he reached the depths of the sea, and used his Divine Sense to follow the progress of the enormous team above.
Finally, they reached rfolk Island. Shi Feiyang surveyed the waters beneath, using an Escape Skill to turn invisible and observed the life of the rfolk’s underwater tribe. He scoped out the entire terrain of rfolk Island before erging from the water.
As soon as he peeked his head above the surface, he saw seven Sword Immortals standing side by side in the sky facing off against the troops from Roc Bay. One among them shouted, "Yi Daoist! Your brothers have long harbored ambitions to dominate this entire sea area. So say you vowed to conquer all the islands of Ninghai. My master has long been aware of your tricks and has created a Magical Treasure to deal with you. Unfortunately, your brother died at the hands of the Heavenly Fox, and today I can only kill you. Later, beg my master to spare you for a mont so you can avenge your brother by killing the Heavenly Fox, else he will not die peacefully. But it’s been so long and you still haven’t avenged your brother—granting you a few more days would be pointless..."
