Chapter 460 Tian'ao Island
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Kang decided to proceed in the order of priority.
However, since we're on the ship now, there's no rush to raise the pillar.
He stepped out of the cabin and saw several senior students still diligently practicing fishing.
Ye Kang smiled and joined in.
The fellow disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect, perhaps because they were all Body Tempering Warriors, were all very generous and straightforward, without any backstabbing or infighting. It was clear that everyone treated each other with sincerity.
This atmosphere made Ye Kang feel very relaxed.
A night passed, and the warships sailed for another half a day.
Finally, at noon, we arrived at a giant island.
Ahead, the sky was filled with clouds and mist, and the mountain peaks were hidden beneath the clouds. The island was like a giant tortoise, raising its head high. Beneath its head, countless large and small ships had already arrived, filling the port to capacity.
Ye Kang immediately spotted the five largest boats among them.
Those are the ships of the other five top forces besides the Tyrant Whale Sect.
The gray sword flag of the Wuji Sword Sect, the crimson flag of the Crimson Sword Sect, the blood-red shark flag of the Blood Shark Palace, the black-purple demon king flag of the Eastern Demon Sect, and an apricot-yellow flag.
That is the strongest of the three supreme techniques: One Fist, Two Swords, and Three Supreme Techniques. Huangye Island's ancestor, Huangye Zhenren, is said to be the founder of Tian'ao Island and the strongest person recognized in the entire Coral Islands. He is a powerful figure who can directly communicate with the Grand Prince of the Nine Nether Palace.
After the Tyrant Whale Sect's ship arrived, all the martial artists on the island looked over.
Some looked on with respect, some with cold indifference, and others with a knowing smile.
Soon, a voice came: "The Tyrant Whale Sect is quite arrogant. Even the fellow Daoists from the Blood Shark Palace arrived earlier than you. They are far away. Are you just slow to get here?"
Ye Kang recognized the speaker; he was none other than Murong Zhantie, the leader of the Crimson Sword Sect.
He didn't look at Ye Kang, after all, in this situation, it was impossible for him to take revenge.
However, it's still possible to exchange a few words with the Tyrant Whale Sect.
Yuan Bahai laughed heartily and said loudly, "Brother Murong is truly clever. Our boat is old and in disrepair, so it is indeed a bit slow. Is that not acceptable?"
"Hmph! What a waste of time. The conference, which could have started this morning, has been delayed until now because of you."
Murong Zhantie showed no respect whatsoever, and all the martial artists lowered their heads. Who would dare to interrupt when these big shots were arguing?
Yuan Bahai didn't mince words and bluntly said, "Get lost, or I'll draw my sword."
"you!"
"Alright, alright, you're all grown up. What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? The seniors are still watching on the island. Do you all want to be bait?"
A gentle female voice rang out.
Ye Kang looked over and saw a beautiful woman wearing an apricot-yellow dress and a gold hairpin walking out of the boat on Huangye Island.
When she opened her mouth, Yuan Bahai only snorted coldly and said no more.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Since almost everyone has arrived, let's begin immediately."
With that, she waved her hand, and the clouds in front of her parted automatically, forming a wide road.
"Fellow Daoists, please."
After saying that, the group from the Wuji Sword Sect stepped forward without hesitation.
Ye Kang also saw Jian Xin, who, just like last time, showed no emotional fluctuation.
Then the people from the Eastern Demon Sect and the Blood Shark Palace also went inside.
Murong Zhan Tie snorted angrily and led his disciples inside.
The beautiful woman then looked at Yuan Bahai: "Sect Leader Yuan, our two sects haven't communicated for a long time. Why don't we do it together today?"
Yuan Bahai nodded and said, "That's good. All disciples, listen to my command: the fellow Daoists on Huangye Island are all friends. You must not interfere with their catch."
"Yes!"
Ye Kang answered along with the others, and then joined the people from Huangye Island.
As for the other minor sects and independent cultivators, they could only leave last.
On the way, Fang Ping, the short-haired senior sister, transmitted her voice to Ye Kang: "Junior Brother Ye, the people of Huangye Island are very strange. We should be careful."
Ye Kang nodded. Just then, a young girl from Huangye Island walked over.
"This junior brother looks unfamiliar."
Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to speak, Ye Kang politely replied, "Hello, senior sister. I've only recently started learning, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."
"Oh, I see. You're the guy who killed Murong Ming! You've got some nerve, daring to show up in front of Sect Leader Murong."
Ye Kang smiled awkwardly. It was normal for the other party to know him, after all, the news of Murong Zhantie's harsh words had already spread throughout the Coral Islands.
Most people have heard that a disciple of the Tyrant Whale Sect named Wang Yintai killed Murong Ming.
Seeing that Ye Kang didn't speak, the senior sister wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, she said cheerfully, "Let's look after each other later. If anyone tries to steal the fish, I'll help you fight them back."
"Thank you, senior sister."
Ye Kang smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, neither refusing nor agreeing.
The senior student seemed to have seen many people like this before, and chuckled, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Yao Jingting from Huangye Island, see you later."
After saying that, she walked away happily.
Ye Kang was completely baffled. Did he really have that much charm? Why was he so eager to get closer to him?
He couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to, so he continued to follow along.
Soon, the clouds and mist ahead dissipated, and the group arrived at the foot of the Ao-shou (a mythical turtle-like creature) on Tian'ao Island.
This is a fan-shaped deep-water bay, with the fan side directly facing the sea, covering a very wide area.
Along the bay, there are hundreds of fishing platforms of various sizes, behind which are specially made fish buckets, like storage bags, capable of holding any size catch.
On the coast, there was a huge grandstand where a group of bigwigs were invited to watch the show. Of course, there were already three elderly and frail seniors on the stage.
The elder in the center stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, welcome to Tian'ao Island. I am Zhong Xuan, and these two are Granny Ling She and Master Liu. Several elders from Tian'ao Island are also here, but they are all watching you from the top. The three of us will be in charge of this fishing tournament."
Everyone looked over. Zhong Xuan Zhenren had a kind face, Ling She Po Po had white hair, and Liu Zhenren looked a little younger, but his face was also full of vicissitudes.
Ye Kang didn't recognize them, but Fang Ping patiently explained, "These three are well-established experts, and their strength is not much different from that of the sect leader. Because they want to advance further, they stayed on Tian'ao Island to study with the others."
"I see."
As expected, Yuan Bahai, Murong Zhantie, and the others flew up, greeted each other, and sat in a row.
Master Zhongxuan continued, "This conference is divided into two venues. One is in the bay, where we have long kept countless sea beasts. All disciples of the Lotus Realm are welcome to fish to their heart's content."
"The other one is naturally outside the bay, where all the geniuses in the Divine Sea Realm can freely choose their fishing spots. Of course, since they are all in the Divine Sea Realm, there are some requirements for fishing."
"Fish weighing less than 5,000 jin must all be released back into the wild; they won't count."
