Chapter 185 Coming Alone
"I fish by this pond every day yet have never caught a single fish. Do you know why that is, Second Brother?"
The Great Island Master suddenly asked.
Standing nearby, the Second Island Master raised an eyebrow, responding with confusion, "I don't know."
"Heh, today I will give you the answer,"
said the Great Island Master with a light chuckle.
He then slowly stood up, and the fishing rod unexpectedly remained suspended in mid-air.
The next second, the pond was boiling over like turbulent water, constantly churning.
Witnessing this, shock filled the eyes of the Second Island Master, who looked at the Great Island Master in disbelief.
"Boom!"
A loud booming sound suddenly emerged from the depths of the water, followed by the pond exploding like a bomb, with waves shooting several meters into the air.
The Great Island Master spoke indifferently, "Because there haven't been any fish in this pond for a long time."
Upon hearing this, the Second Island Master also paused, his eyes filled with respect as he looked toward the Great Island Master.
Then he said solemnly, "Second Brother congratulates Big Brother on advancing to the later stages of the War King!"
"Heh, you go and invite the three protectors of our Sky Wolf Island to come out of seclusion, and tell the third one to prepare as well,"
the Great Island Master chuckled, then continued, "I will personally lure the Northern Liao King and his people to Sky Wolf Island. I indeed want to see how strong the opponents are, to stir up such storms on my Sky Wolf Island!"
With that, the Great Island Master leapt into the pond and then walked on the waves towards the East Sea.
Seeing this, the Second Island Master's expression turned blank, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.
"Big Brother... has already reached this step without us knowing..."
Having said that, the Second Island Master also immediately turned and walked deeper into Sky Wolf Island.
Meanwhile, on the cruise ship, Ye Ling and the others were all dressed like nouveau riche, chatting away on the deck.
"My lord, why haven't the people from Sky Wolf Island come yet? Could it be that we don't look enough like wealthy merchants?"
Chen Dao asked with a furrowed brow.
No sooner had he spoken than Ye Ling looked up into the sea.
Seeing this, Ye Ling also hooked the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.
"Audacious scoundrel, plotting to assassinate the King of the Eastern Sea, you should be executed for your crime!"
Before anyone else could react, Ye Tianming had already shouted furiously and then charged out from the cruise, heading straight for the Great Island Master.
Ye Tianming and the Great Island Master exchanged a look and immediately understood each other's intentions.
Both being forces of martial artists from the Eastern Sea, they naturally knew each other's identities.
The two began to fight in a mock battle on the surface of the sea.
As they fought, each collision lifted a column of water, creating a magnificent spectacle.
However, Ye Ling could tell that these two were not really trying to harm each other; their fight was just for show.
"Sir, shall we make a move?"
Chen Dao asked in a deep voice.
Ye Ling shook his head and said with a smile, "Sky Wolf Island has eight Island Masters, and so far, only the Great Island Master has arrived. The whereabouts of the other seven Island Masters are still unknown."
"If we act rashly, we might fall into their trap."
It wasn't that Ye Ling was afraid of falling into their trap. With his current strength, it was not difficult for him to single-handedly sweep through Sky Wolf Island.
He was simply curious to see what trape the Sky Wolf Island and the Sect Hierarch were playing, which is why he chose not to act.
At that moment, the King of Eastern Sea suddenly came to Ye Ling's side, looking somewhat anxious, and said, "Northern Liao King, aren't you going to make a move?"
"Now that the Great Island Master of Sky Wolf Island has come alone, if you all strike together and capture him, our invasion of Sky Wolf Island will be much easier!"
The King of the Eastern Sea stood behind Ye Ling, only daring to carefully observe the Great Island Master and Ye Tianming fighting on the sea surface.
Seeing his demeanor, disappointment filled Ye Ling's eyes.
The once spirited and commanding King of the Eastern Sea was truly no longer present.
"The time is not right, King of Eastern Sea, don't rush."
Ye Ling said calmly.
But just as he finished speaking, the Vice Sect Hierarch Ye Tianyin suddenly bellowed, "Audacious villain, daring to come alone to assassinate the King of the Eastern Sea, seeking death!"
With that said, Ye Tianyin also charged out of the cruise and headed straight for the Great Island Master.
The Sect Hierarch and the Vice Sect Hierarch joined forces, and for a moment, they managed to keep the Great Island Master under pressure, repeatedly forcing him into the seawater, an utterly bedraggled sight.
