Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Tricked Them Limp

Long Fei was uncertain about the nature of these young people and, to avoid harming them by mistake, he poured wine for these five youngsters and continued fishing for information.

Jin Yang and his group drank excitedly, thinking they had made connections with prestigious figures from Fangzhang and Yingzhou Island, which would greatly boost their reputation upon their return.

Long Fei purposefully asked Chu Feng, "Brother Chu, your Yingzhou Island is closely associated with the cultivators on the mainland, have you heard of Long Fei?"

Chu Feng took a sip of wine and smiled, "Of course I’ve heard of him. Among mainland cultivators, he is indeed a figure. It’s a pity that I’ve only heard of him and never met him. However, my sister has met him. Let her talk about it."

He glanced at Lin Yingying and passed the opportunity to speak to her.

Jin Yang and his group were all excitedly looking at Lin Yingying, surprised that someone here had actually met Long Fei.

Lin Yingying, suppressing a laugh, looked at Long Fei and said, "Fourth Prince is unaware, but Long Fei is very insidious and cunning. He appears simple and honest, but inside, he harbors a bellyful of cunning plans. The women around him swarm like bees; I’ve seen quite a few myself. That said, this man does have some abilities and is not someone easy to provoke."

She emphasized the last sentence especially for Jin Yang and his group to hear.

Jin Yang nodded and said, "Yes, the elder had instructed us before leaving that this man is formidable and not to be confronted directly. We can only invite his family to the island, using the tactic of ’luring the tiger out of the mountain’, to bring him to Penglai Island and fight there."

"This scoundrel, I didn’t expect him to be so lecherous. Sister Jin Yue, be extra careful when it’s your turn, and you too, sister Shuixiu."

Huo Lie specifically reminded the two beauties behind him.

Fire Thunder cursed, "He’s fortunate not to have encountered me. If he does, I can topple him with one blow."

Jin Yue smirked, "The same goes for me; it’s not easy to take advantage of this lady. If I meet him, I’ll kill him with one sword."

Shuixiu stood silently but felt inside that the three individuals as Long Fei seemed unreliable.

If they really were the privileged sons of Fangzhang and Yingzhou Island’s by elites, they wouldn’t step out with just a Crab General in tow.

Moreover, a Crab General with a limp.

Long Fei looked at Lin Yingying, curled the corner of his mouth, and thought that his wife was too damaging; how could she ruin her husband like this.

He considered himself to be of a pure and kind disposition; when had he become a lecher?

He poured wine for everyone and asked, "These family members of Long Fei, they must also be no ordinary people. If you invite them and they don’t wish to come, what would you do then?"

Jin Yang, drinking, looked up and laughed heartily, "People whom Penglai Island wishes to invite, nobody dares to refuse. In the Tang and Song dynasties, our island sent two emissaries, one to reward the good and the other to punish the evil, specifically to invite prominent sect leaders from the mainland to discuss doctrines. Those who refused were met with extermination. Have you heard of the great poet Li Bai? He too visited our Penglai Island, left behind a poem on the supreme sword immortal’s art, engraved on our cliff walls, alas, till today no one has comprehended it."

"Li Bai?"

The three from Long Fei looked at each other, bewildered, unsure how this figure got involved.

He was just a poet, when did he become a cultivator?

And a Sword Immortal at that?

Long Fei did not ponder over this matter for now and said solemnly, "So, if people refuse, you will resort to mass slaughter?"

Jin Yang proudly declared, "That’s right, a bunch of ordinary mortals only; killing them makes no difference. We cultivators in this world aim to do as we wish. If we cannot even achieve that and are benevolent like women, then how can we stand between heaven and earth."

Shuixiu frowned deeper and coughed twice behind Jin Yang to remind him.

She felt an intense sense of unease for some reason.

A cultivator of the Water Spirit: her thoughts are like water.

Ordinarily, her mental state would not fluctuate so intensely—it only happens when danger is near.

Although the three men seemed jovial and carefree, in her eyes, they were like fierce tigers.

But now, Jin Yang was blissfully unaware.

"Very good, that’s very good, the epitome of doing as one desires."

Long Fei drank his wine, smiling appreciatively but inwardly understanding the nature of these five young men.

A hint of killing intent emanated from him, which Shuixiu quickly detected.

Tensed, Shuixiu immediately alerted Jin Yang, "Brother Jin, it’s getting late; we should be leaving now."

Jin Yang waved his hand, "Hey, what’s the rush? I’ve hit it off with the three fellow Daoists, so talking a bit longer won’t hurt. Besides, entering Penglai Island isn’t so easy; if the three fellow Daoists go rashly, they might not be able to get onto the island."

Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged a glance, held their patience, and curiously asked, "Is Brother Jin referring to the island’s restrictions?"

Jin Yang laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist indeed comes from a legacy, similar to Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island, right?"

"Naturally."

Long Fei nodded lightly and chuckled, communicating through spiritual power, they quickly decided to let these five people lead them in.

Then, striking later would not be late.

Long Fei took out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Ring, tipped it, and held a Pill in front of Jin Yang.

"A Fourth-grade Pill?"

Staring at the Pill, Jin Yang and his group all widened their eyes.

In the Secret Realm, Fourth-grade Pills are top-tier elixirs, with only a limited number of Alchemists capable of crafting Fifth-grade ones.

How could one not be surprised by Long Fei offering one so casually?

He smiled at Jin Yang and said, "I truly find a kindred spirit in Brother Jin. I came in a hurry and brought no gift. This is the Dragon Elemental Pill refined by my father, the Black Dragon King; it can temper one’s muscles and bones and is extremely beneficial for Body Cultivators. If Brother Jin is keen, I’ll gift this Pill to you."

Swallowing, Jin Yang took the Pill with both hands, exclaiming in delight, "Generous fellow! I, Jin Yang, have indeed not misjudged you. You are lucky to meet us today; I will personally guide you and ensure our smooth entry onto Penglai Island."

Shuixiu was conflicted; she could not discern whether these three were friends or foes, confusing even herself.

Logically, with her level of cultivation at the Cave Heaven of Moon and Water, she shouldn’t be mistaken.

She distinctly felt a trace of killing intent just a moment ago, but now this person was generously offering a Pill and even taking the initiative to go to the island.

If they were enemies, who would have the audacity to infiltrate Penglai Island alone?

Long Fei smiled and bowed with his hands clasped, "Then we’ll trouble Brother Jin. Today, a kinship is formed; from now on, you are a distinguished guest of both Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island. Whenever you visit, we will treat you with great hospitality."

Jin Yang usually was not a well-known Disciple on Penglai Island, otherwise, he would not be assigned to such base tasks.

Listening to Long Fei’s flattery, he felt naturally proud and satisfied, responding continuously with clasped hands, "Why be so courteous, fellow Daoist? From now on, we are all brothers and will certainly support each other without hesitation!"

The group, originally headed inland, turned back to Penglai Island led by Jin Yang.

The Crab Demon on the ship nostalgically remarked, "When it comes to tricking skills, who is the best? One must look for Long Fei from Huaxia Binhai, damn good at appearing friendly while harboring sinister intentions."

The Huo Lie brothers, indeed, knew how to operate a cargo ship, surprisingly impressing Long Fei and his company.

They acted as captains, leading everyone towards Penglai Island.

Long Fei asked curiously.

Jin Yang told him that Penglai Island, to maintain contact with the mainland, frequently sends disciples there.

They bring back anything novel to study and learn together.

In ancient times, this was even more common, frequently engaging with mainland Cultivators for discussion and research. As modern times approach, the Dao culture of the mainland gradually declined.

Penglai Island, gradually, came to disdain it.
