Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Li Kui Encounters a Ghostly Counterpart

Along the way, Jin Yang chatted with Long Fei about various old tales of Penglai Island.

This man had great ambitions but lacked the talent; his words constantly betrayed his dissatisfaction.

He complained that the ancestors of Penglai Island couldn’t recognize true talent and always promoted and looked after the mediocre, leaving talented individuals like himself out in the cold.

During the conversation, he also boldly claimed that he would definitely satisfy the old men with this mission, and once he reached the mainland, he would not be softhearted.

Long Fei and the other two laughed while drinking, tolerating him only for now; once they reached Penglai Island, such a petty person mustn’t be spared.

From Jin Yang, Long Fei learned that the people of Penglai Island were immigrants from the ancient Great Xia Country.

In this world, Great Xia Country has always been a mythical existence.

Although it is frequently mentioned in historical records, there has been no evidence found of Great Xia’s actual existence.

Some historians lament that even the bones from the dinosaur era can be excavated, yet there is a blank in the history where Great Xia should be.

Long Fei speculated that this period might have been the overlapping era of two worlds.

After the Xia Dynasty, there were huge changes in heaven and earth.

The two worlds since then became parallel worlds, with no further interaction.

They journeyed by boat, finally nearing Penglai Island in the afternoon.

Just like their previous trip to the Returning Ruins, they first navigated through the mist for half a day, and then they got a glimpse of the real Penglai Island.

Shrouded in mist, the island was only vaguely visible.

Lofty sword-like peaks were standing tall with rainbow lights forming bridges.

From time to time, there were calls of gibbons and cranes, as well as cascading waterfalls from the skies; it was indeed a scene straight out of an Immortal Clan’s paradise.

From a distance, it seemed unreal, like a mirage above the sea.

If it were an ordinary vessel that came here, it would be led by the fog to meander away.

This fog is also part of the magic array that surrounds the perimeter.

As they traveled, Long Fei studied the outer prohibitions, silently thankful that he had encountered Jin Yang and the others.

Otherwise, it would have taken some effort to come here unwarrantedly.

Upon reaching a rock formation, Jin Yang and his companions invited Long Fei and the other two to disembark.

Long Fei instructed the Crab Demon, "Wait here for us, we’ll be back shortly after we meet with the Island Master."

The Crab Demon’s eyes spun around, seeing such a good opportunity to escape, only an idiot would just wait here.

Yet it loyally shouted, "Yes, Fourth Prince."

Long Fei nodded, then followed Jin Yang and the others to a standing rock formation.

The rock was roughly over two meters high.

If one did not look carefully, they would not notice that mystic patterns were inscribed upon it.

Jin Yang took out a token, preparing to place it into the slot on the rock.

Shuixiu stopped him, sending a telepathic message, "Brother Jin, shouldn’t we be more cautious and notify the Clan Elders first? The identities of these people are unknown, if we bring them directly inside and something happens, the Clan Elders won’t spare us."

Her thoughts were meticulous, much stronger than Jin Yue’s.

Chu Feng had been flirting with Jin Yue all the way, presenting her the Golden Silk Jade Fan that he seemed to have snatched from somewhere.

With his seduction skills, Jin Yue was now sticking close to him, giggling and playfully hitting Chu Feng with her small fists, looking every bit like a couple in love.

Jin Yang waved his hand, directly addressing her, "Sister Shuixiu, I know you are cautious, but you can’t suspect our three friends like that! We need to think big in doing things, if everyone were like you, how could we achieve greatness."

Shuixiu’s face reddened with embarrassment, not expecting Jin Yang to betray her in front of Long Fei and the others.

To please Long Fei and his friends in such a way was utterly shameless.

Long Fei and his companions looked at Shuixiu with some surprise, not expecting this young girl to have noticed something off about them.

Long Fei generously said, "It turns out that Miss Shuixiu suspects us, but it’s alright, we’ll follow your rules, and we’ll be fine with whatever you decide."

Jin Yang exclaimed, "Esteemed brother need not mind, my cousin is naturally timid and fragile. I will take you in now, there’s no need to mind the rules."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to place the token on the recess of the reef, and with a flash of Mysterious Light, a circle of inverted triangular Mystic Patterns appeared around the reef.

When they reappeared, they were already within an oasis.

Looking around, they saw nothing but green mountains and clear waters.

Pagodas and towers were hidden amongst the landscape.

Occasionally, sword light flashed within, and female cultivators clad in white danced among them.

It was indeed an Immortal Island on earth, truly living up to its reputation.

The breath they took in was considerably fresher than in the outside world, as if they had entered a hot spring of Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy here was almost as abundant as in a Secret Realm.

A hundred meters ahead, a tall Stone Paifang led inward, flanked by rocky mountains on both sides.

Long Fei looked over and saw that these rocks were arranged meticulously; they must be part of an Array that connected the entire island.

If one didn’t pass through the main gate and tried to bypass it instead, they would likely suffer a loss.

As expected, Jin Yang reminded them, "The three fellow Daoist brothers mustn’t wander off. Just follow us in."

At the entrance, two rows of male cultivators stood guard.

Jin Yang and his group, accompanied by Long Fei and the others, presented the token and said, "Fellow brothers, you have been working hard."

Some recognized Jin Yang and curiously asked, "Jin Yang, weren’t you dispatched to capture someone? How come you’re back so soon?"

Others scrutinized Long Fei and his two companions, "Who are they? Could they be the captives you’ve apprehended?"

Because of Lin Yingying’s exceptional appearance, a group of cultivators turned their eyes to her.

She wasn’t dressed like a cultivator, but rather in a mundane chiffon long dress, yet she exuded a natural charm of an Immortal.

Jin Yang quickly explained, "They are not the ones we were tasked to capture. They are esteemed guests from Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island. We happened to meet them on the road, so we are bringing them back to meet the Island Master."

"What?"

The leading guard exclaimed in surprise, "A group of emissaries from Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island just went in. How come there is another group arriving?"

Some scrutinized Long Fei and his companions again, "Do you have any proofs of identity?"

The dozen guards at the door immediately became alert, raising their longswords in hand.

Long Fei and his two friends were taken aback, not expecting that Fangzhang and Yingzhou Islands had indeed sent emissaries.

Their bluff, concocted in a hurry, had run into the real deal.

"Don’t be impulsive, everyone. They must have tokens; there must be some misunderstanding here," said one.

Jin Yang turned back and hurriedly said to Long Fei, "Brother Daoist, please show your tokens to our fellow brothers to clear this up."

"Sure, no problem."

A flash of light from Long Fei’s Storage Ring and he withdrew a dusky blue gourd.

The leading guard asked with furrowed brows, "What kind of proof is this?"

The others looked on curiously as well.

Even Chu Feng and Lin Yingying, who were seeing it for the first time, were wide-eyed.

Long Fei said to the guards with a smile, "This is a Magical Treasure naturally nurtured by our Fangzhang Island, only people of my status can carry it. Seeing this gourd is as good as seeing the Black Dragon King. Shouldn’t you all kneel and pay your respects now!"

Jin Yang almost spat blood, thinking to himself that Long Fei was being too reckless.

Even with all the influence of Fangzhang Island, you can’t make the cultivators of Penglai Island kneel!

Indeed, the guard got angry, drew his sword at Long Fei, and cursed, "Are you messing with us, lad?"

"Who exactly are you people?"

"Jin Yang, where did you bring these people from? Can’t even tell if they’re friend or foe?"

"There’s definitely something wrong with these people, take them down first."

"Impudent rogues, daring to fabricate tales about us, come with us to the hall to see the emissaries from the two islands and have this cleared up."
