"I am the master of Jade Stream Island. Everyone gather on my ship!"
A domineant voice suddenly rang out in Mao Kuan's mind.
"Who~Who is it?"
"Someone sounded the alarm, there's an enemy attack!"
After his surprise, Mao Kuan, like a startled cat, leaped more than ten feet high, piercing through the layers of walls of the towering ship to appear on the highest deck.
"Ding~Ding~Ding~"
"Dang~Dang~Dang~"
"Dong~Dong~Dong~"
Almost simultaneously, urgent alarm bells rang out on the main ships of the other fish farm owners.
"Enemy attack? Where is the enemy attack?"
Before long, as many as ten thousand demonic beasts appeared in the sky above various fish farms, wary of each other.
Glows of spells and spiritual energy began to flicker, and many demonic beasts were already preparing spells to attack any potential enemies.
However, without the order of their superiors, no demonic beast dared to act rashly.
"Idiot! I, the Master of Jade Stream Island, am giving you a chance to meet me.
Only you thirty leaders, my ship has emerged.
Fifteen minutes, no one will be waited for after the time is up."
Yang Hong looked at the tense situation outside with disdain. These demonic beasts were truly cowardly, so easily terrified.
Immediately, he used his divine sense to push out the sea vessel he had previously confiscated from King Lei Hu, propelling it out of the range of Jade Stream Island's formation.
"There's no enemy attack. Everyone return and guard your fish farms. I'll be back soon."
King Mao Kuan, the cat demon king, saw the colossal sea vessel slowly emerging ten miles away and immediately ordered his tribesmen to calm down.
He knew that the master of Jade Stream Island had appeared.
All sixth-tier demon kings were mentally prepared for Jade Stream Island to have a master.
Furthermore, when dividing the fishing grounds, these demon kings had even joined forces to attack Jade Stream Island's formation.
But it had not stirred even a ripple.
The island's Grade 3 spiritual plants, arranged in formations according to their directional placement, numbered in the tens of billions. Such a formation was impossible to break, let alone for sixth-tier demon kings, even a seventh-tier demon lord couldn't breach it.
Yang Hong, busy with his farming, hadn't even noticed the formation being attacked.
One could imagine how powerful Jade Stream Island's defensive formation was.
Therefore, these thirty demonic tribes very tacitly established their fishing grounds two miles outside the defensive formation,
just in case Yang Hong, the master, was displeased.
Now that Yang Hong, the master, had appeared, Mao Kuan and the other demon kings felt a bit anxious, worried that the master of Jade Stream Island would drive them away.
"King Lei Hu's flagship!"
As he approached the sea vessel, Mao Kuan's expression changed.
He recognized this ship.
Cats and tigers were not of the same race, but they were considered close relatives. A hundred years ago, Mao Kuan had even explored with King Lei Hu on this very ship.
The inch-wide black ink mark at the bow of the ship was left by a giant octopus monster they encountered during their exploration,
and it was still clearly visible.
He could not be mistaken.
"When I passed by Lei Hu's island before, I heard he had gone on another expedition with twelve demon kings.
It seems he discovered the anomaly at Jade Stream Island long ago and came here to explore."
"But this scoundrel must have wanted to seize Jade Stream Island by force, and was annihilated by this island master.
Even his flagship has become someone else's spoils of war."
Mao Kuan quickly deduced the situation based on his understanding of Lei Hu, his expression constantly changing.
By the time he landed on the ship's deck, he was already full of respect.
Lei Hu, as the master of an island spanning three thousand miles, possessed great power. Yet, even such a master was dead,
meaning that even with his late sixth-tier cultivation, he would be courting death if he confronted the island master.
He had to be low-profile and cautious.
However, he found it strange that there was no one on the ship, and only three large water buckets on the deck.
"Yo~King Mao Kuan, your legs are fast. You've arrived already."
As Mao Kuan observed his surroundings, another demon king arrived.
"Hei Jiu San, your tail isn't slow either. You've arrived too."
Mao Kuan glanced at the arriving demon and said calmly.
This was the demon king of the Silver Star Black Fish tribe, the overlord of the sea within a million miles.
"Hmph~Mao Kuan, have you seen that turtle hiding in its shell?"
"Heh heh~"
Mao Kuan merely gave a strange smile at Hei Jiu San's arrogance and did not reply.
"Hmph~As expected of a kitten, so timid.
Hey~You turtle hiding in your shell, come out quickly and pay respects to your Grandpa Hei~"
Hei Jiu San seemed unafraid of the master of Jade Stream Island, but Mao Kuan, with his sharp eyes, noticed that Hei Jiu San's one hand was tightly clenched, and he could see a corner of jade.
Judging by its form, it was likely a万里传送符 (Myriad Mile Teleportation Talisman),
a treasure for escape.
Once activated, even a seventh-tier demon lord could not stop it;
and after teleportation, one would be tens of thousands of miles away, making pursuit difficult.
Seeing this, Mao Kuan also gave a dismissive smile: "Heh heh~Coward~"
Hei Jiu San pretended not to hear and continued to shout.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all thirty demon kings had arrived.
Once everyone was present, Yang Hong's divine sense transmission came again.
"There are three water buckets on the deck now. Take a look at what's inside."
The contents were good.
All the demon kings unanimously praised the contents after inspecting them.
"Senior, are you intending to sell us the Jade Stream Wine Spirit Fish of this grade?"
Mao Kuan was the first to board the ship and had already seen the fish inside. He had been waiting to ask this question.
"That's right! It's simple to talk to smart people.
Grade 1 Spirit Fish, 300 spirit stones each. Grade 2 Spirit Fish, 3,000 spirit stones each. Grade 3 Spirit Fish, 100,000 spirit stones each.
Grade 4, one million spirit stones, and one per month."
Since Mao Kuan had proactively asked, Yang Hong saw no need to beat around the bush and directly stated the prices.
"Hmph~Turtle hiding in its shell, the Silver Star Black Fish tribe wants Jade Stream Island. Be sensible and get out of here!
Grandpa will spare your life."
Before Mao Kuan or the other demonic beasts could speak, Hei Jiu San began to shout again.
At the same time, he pulled out a trident with his left hand and swung it towards the sky.
The terrifying fluctuation of magical power pushed the other 29 demon kings away, and the sea vessel beneath their feet trembled as if it was about to split apart.
"Black Water Trident!"
"Grade 6 Spirit Artifact, Black Water Trident!"
"Is the Silver Star Black Fish tribe going to forcefully attack Jade Stream Island? They've even brought out their clan's spirit artifact!"
All the demonic beasts cried out in surprise.
The Black Water Trident was a peak Grade 6 magical artifact that had already birthed a spirit, thus transforming into a spirit artifact. It was the most famous artifact in the surrounding waters.
"Silver Star Black Fish tribe? You want to forcibly seize my Jade Stream Island?"
Yang Hong was also a bit surprised. Wasn't this foolish black fish afraid of death?
Did he think a mere artifact could withstand his formation's attack?
"Hmph~Jade Stream Island originally belonged to our Silver Star Black Fish tribe, you thieving turtle hiding in its shell..."
"Noisy!"
Yang Hong wasn't someone who wouldn't retaliate when insulted.
"Rumble~"
From within Jade Stream Island, Yang Hong directly unleashed his strongest attack, the 【Falling Thunder Technique】. However, this time, the falling thunder, amplified by 12,960 【Lightning Attracting Formations】,
had turned from blue to purple when it struck Hei Jiu San's head.
"Clang~~~~"
After a flash, everything on Hei Jiu San, including his body, had vaporized, leaving only the Black Water Trident.
His Myriad Mile Teleportation Talisman didn't even have a chance to be activated.
Cruel and to the point, that was Yang Hong's current demeanor.
"Splash~~~~"
The previous sea vessel also disintegrated in the residual power of the purple lightning.
"..."
Is this too brutal?
This was the common thought of the 29 demon kings floating in the air.
They were all trembling subtly, wishing they could disappear immediately,
but not a single demon dared to move, fearing that the purple lightning would strike them next.
