Chapter 693: Chapter 693

They were quietly paying attention to the situation with Iron Gall Divine Hou Zhu Wushi.

At the same time, they were speeding on their way, mounted on eagles.

The winds above the sea were fast and cold.

Fortunately, all of them were skilled in martial arts, and even Yu Cheng’an, the weakest among them, could sit cross-legged and cultivate to resist the cold.

Thus, they traveled swiftly without any delay.

Continuing their journey through the night, they spotted a glimmering reflection in the distance at dawn. It was clearly a vast glacier.

Inside the glacier was an island.

As the sun slowly rose, it seemed to ascend from behind the island, setting the clouds ablaze like fire.

The shadows on the mountain slopes were giving way as the sleeping vegetation began to stir. The branches of some trees shone like melting gold in the sunlight, reflecting and seeming to set the waters ablaze.

A gust of wind brought with it both the sunlight and the salty scent of the sea, yet it did not feel warm but carried the chill of ice instead.

Wang Yuyan rubbed her hands together and breathed out a white mist, her nose red, and her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled.

"How beautiful, is that Ice and Fire Island? It truly feels like a world of ice and fire."

"Ha ha, Miss Wang, if you stayed here for a few more days, you might not like it anymore because the sunlight during the daytime here is really harsh. With your delicate skin, it won’t take long before you’re sunburnt and your skin turns rough and dark," laughed the Fire King Ancestor Gold Hall, who had been to Ice and Fire Island before, sharing his experience.

Wang Yuyan was surprised, instinctively covering up her fair and rosy cheeks with her sleeve, which amused the Fire King to a hearty laugh.

"We’ve arrived at our destination. Ancestor Gold Hall, when you left Ice and Fire Island, what was Golden Lion King Xie Xun’s reaction?"

Jiang Dali stood up from his seat and stretched his muscles, making a crackling sound, and asked.

The Fire King’s expression turned serious, "Xie Xun is a very cautious and careful man, and he does not wish for his seclusive life to be disturbed. Once, Medicine King, Ghost King, and I had a confrontation with him.

"However, he knew he was no match for the three of us, so he always kept his temper in check and never lashed out.

"When Xuanming Two Elders and I quietly left the island, he was not aware. With Medicine King and Ghost King covering for us, he must have thought I was still on the island."

"Hmm! Let’s go down."

Jiang Dali, with hands clasped behind his back, gazed toward the sea shimmering with reflections of light.

The sunlight was like a myriad of golden needles shuttling through the sea, as if to weave a light veil over the ocean.

Such scenes, paired with the refreshing scent of the sea and the vastness of the waters before one’s eyes, inexplicably made one feel as if their chest was expanding, filled with endless emotions.

The Demon Hawk cried out in a long screech, diving toward the island behind the glacier, its metallic feathers making a "sissing" noise as they swiftly cut through the air, trembling slightly with the vibrations.

"Look, what a huge eagle!"

"Are you blind? That’s the village chief’s noble mount, the Demon Hawk! Quickly prepare to welcome the village chief!"

"Ha ha, I saw the village chief at the seaside harbor from Black Wind Observation and already knew the village chief was coming to Ice and Fire Island."

"Hurry and call Little Wuji and Zhang Wuxia over, their master has arrived."

On Ice and Fire Island, a group of dark-skinned Players looked up excitedly at the giant eagle diving from the sky, chattering and calling out to each other in high spirits.

Out of three wooden huts on the island, Medicine King Mo Feiyuan and Ghost King all came out, alerted by the commotion, looking up at the enormous Demon Hawk diving from the sky, all wearing grave expressions, and immediately employed their movement techniques to greet it.

Elsewhere, in a cave, Lion King Xie Xun, Zhang Cui Shan, Yin Susu, and Zhang Wuji were all stirred by the Players who had come to notify them, and they all walked out of the cave, following the direction the Players pointed to look up at the sky.

"Dad, Mom, foster father, my master has come, Black Wind Village Chief has come," Little Zhang Wuji cheerfully pointed at the sky and called out, his innocent face looking up to the sky filled with curiosity, timidness, and admiration.

Zhang Cui Shan and Yin Susu exchanged a look, both seeing the caution and worry in each other’s eyes.

Zhang Wuji was still young, inexperienced about the world, and easily deceived.

But the two of them were seasoned personalities in the Martial World, and they had sensed something was amiss after a group of unexpected guests suddenly arrived on the island.

Firstly, there were two old men who suddenly broke onto the island and, in a fight, used the Cold Ice Divine Palm to severely injure their son.

Then there was another group who claimed to be hunters of the traitorous Xuanming Two Elders who arrived, saved their son, then taught him Divine Skills, and took Zhang Wuji as a disciple of the Black Wind Village Chief, someone they’d never even heard of before.

All these sudden events were indeed strange.

If it were not for the urgent situation that left no other choice, Zhang Cui Shan and Yin Susu would have never agreed to let Zhang Wuji randomly become someone’s disciple.

"I didn’t expect the Black Wind Village Chief to come to the island so soon, and to be able to command such an extraordinary eagle," said Zhang Cui Shan, watching the Demon Hawk that had already dived down, its size massive like a small hill, with utter seriousness.

Yin Susu took in a deep breath and said gravely, "Even the once highly respected Medicine King and Ghost King, and the Fire King all obey him, his Divine Skills must be immensely powerful, I fear we are no match for him."

Xie Xun snorted coldly and said with disdain, "No matter how strong the Black Wind Village Chief is or how formidable, it’s wishful thinking if he expects me, Xie Xun, to bow down to him."
