Chapter 1132 - 1132 572 The Weakest Ripple Supreme in History

Chapter 1132: 572 The Weakest Ripple Supreme in History (4200)_2 Chapter 1132: 572 The Weakest Ripple Supreme in History (4200)_2 “Father, so our journey isn’t really just going to the Hong Li Federation on the surface, right? We actually have other business to attend to?”

Otti was very astute, immediately inferring beyond the obvious.

“Correct,” the elder turned slowly, once again gazing at the distant azure sea level: “This time, we are headed for Immortal Island! That is to say, the headquarters of the Ripple master organization, which hasn’t changed for thousands of years!”

“We are going there?” Otti asked.

“To deliver gifts, the abundant resources needed by the Ripple master organization. Of course, this is just a stalling tactic, a mere feint. The Royal Family and the Black Mechanism actually began negotiations for cooperation half a year ago, but they have yet to succeed,” the elder continued. “Soon, in just a few more months, cooperation will commence. Within six months, the Black Mechanism will definitely start to shelter us. And what you and I need to do now is to secure that half year…”

The elder patted his son’s shoulders, his tone filled with significance.

“Otti, this world is far crueler than you imagine. Survival of the fittest, survival of the adaptable. Whether it’s the Ripple master organization or the Black Mechanism of the Hong Li Federation, they are both too powerful for our Yale Kingdom—truly gigantic entities. They are one of the strongest forces in the entire world. We can only survive in the cracks, maintaining allegiances as needed. Of course, it’s not impossible that one of these great powers could suddenly collapse one day, although the probability is very small…”

“When that day comes, our lives might finally be comfortable.”

“Hahaha… In any case, I curse them, curse the entire Ripple master organization. It would be great if they were annihilated overnight, I would be delighted!” The elder was laughing but suddenly let out a deep sigh, “Alas, it’s an unrealistic fantasy. In any case, let’s stay grounded and go act obediently as juniors on Immortal Island for now. Just thinking about it gives me a headache…”

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a series of sonic-booming gales, like intercontinental missiles, pierced directly through the entire sea lane. A flash passed a few hundred meters from the black and white iron cargo ship, raising giant waves.

The ship rocked wildly, with splashes soaring up and pelting the deck like rain. The ten-meter-high waves slapped against the side; it was almost like a sea beast striking the cargo ship, nearly causing the entire vessel to capsize.

Thankfully, the heavy cargo on the iron ship held fast.

“What… what happened!!!”

The youth Otti firmly grasped the railing with one hand, while the other clutched his father. His tailored suit was soaked, and his fine hair plastered to his forehead like a drowned dog. He looked quite bedraggled.

“It seemed like something flew past!”

Beside him, the elder, pale-faced, had witnessed the event.

“What could fly so fast?!”

Otti’s eyes widened in disbelief.

On the deck, all the sailors who had seen that moment began to piece together their memories, corroborating with each other. Eventually, they came up with this information:

What had just flown by was a bird.

A fierce raptor with wings ablaze with flame.

And within the raptor, there seemed to float a mysterious silhouette.

Of course, its authenticity was uncertain. After all, whatever it was, it flew so fast that no one knew if the image on their retina was an illusion.

“Strange indeed, really strange,” the elder said, shaking his head as he wiped his hair with a dry towel.

“Wait, wait a minute!”

He seemed to suddenly realize something and turned his head sharply towards the front. Otti, the elder’s son, was also drawn by his attention.

“What is it? Father.”

“Otti, the thing that just flew past, it seems it was headed in the direction of Immortal Island!” the elder’s eyes widened as he quickly turned to find the captain, enquiring about the distance they still had to cover. Upon learning it would be another four hours, he hastily ordered the captain to sail at full speed towards Immortal Island.

Meanwhile, on Immortal Island.

Over a hundred years have passed, and here, there is no longer any surrounding mist.

Just the natural forces contained within the Storm Band.

On Immortal Island, the headquarters of the Ripple masters had already expanded into a complex of buildings. And around the island’s ports, there are several such complexes.

The architectural style leans towards modernity, clearly keeping pace with the times.

One could see on the roads of the building complexes, robe-clad Ripple masters moving back and forth with haste. There were elite Ripple masters, Bloodthirsty Ripple Masters, and even Ripple Masters. Their robes were distinctly different; Ripple Masters wore silver-white, Bloodthirsty Ripple Masters wore scarlet, elites wore dark green, and the most common was black. During this century or so, the Ripple master organization had clearly undergone fresh developments.

Their hierarchy and organizational structure had become even more rigorous.

At the heart of Immortal Island, under a somewhat withered giant sky-reaching tree.

A figure wearing a golden robe was sitting cross-legged.

On his right hand, he wore the Supreme Ripple Ring. The ring’s surface shimmered with elemental light, emitting a terrifyingly powerful aura that was chilling to the bone.

“Thunder Spirit sir, this is the latest situation in the eastern part of the Hong Li Federation…”

Next to him, a subordinate handed over a detailed collection of documents.

Thunder Spirit slowly opened his eyes, his features exuding an air of majesty and nobility. He took the intelligence and quickly skimmed through it. It mentioned the Magical Golem Sect, the rapid expansion of the Martial Arts Hall of the sect, and the sharp conflicts with other halls, with undercurrents surging.
