Capítulo 1615: Chapter 1615: A Reputation Forged in Bloodshed

On a dragon-headed wooden boat at sea, Elder Wang boarded with a group of people, looking at Jade Island with complicated emotions as it disappeared from view.

His junior brother, Jiao Pingyang, laughed and said, “This Sect Master Long truly lives up to his reputation, being a person of such righteousness. He helped us so much without asking for anything in return. I’ve lived for so many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen such a character. No wonder he managed to create such a large sect at a young age.”

Elder Wang Shun stroked his beard and said, “Indeed, this young man has an extraordinary aura and his future is limitless. It’s a pity, though, that if we could become in-laws, it would be even better. Sibling relationships with different surnames are always somewhat distant.”

Beside him, Wang Yuyan pursed her lips and said, “Dad, stop dreaming. Couldn’t you tell just now? The sect master’s wife had already seen through your little schemes and proactively recognized us as siblings to save face for you, yet you’re still considering that?”

Elder Wang Shun, feeling frustrated, scolded, “Shut up. I haven’t settled the matter with Shui Han with you yet! Think about it, you caused such a mess for us at Clear Spring Island. Even after all that, are you still thinking about that rascal?”

Wang Yuyan blushed and shouted, “Dad, Brother Shui Han was just angry for the moment. Once he calms down, he’ll definitely apologize to me. Didn’t you also ask me to stay close to Penglai Island? Now that we have Jade Island and a new ally, are you trying to backtrack?”

“That was then, this is now!”

Elder Wang Shun gave her head a rap and instructed, “You’re now Sect Master Long’s honorary sister, no matter if he likes you or not. Visit this place often, even if it’s just to learn Dao techniques or find other excuses. You must maintain a good relationship with Jade Island. When Clear Spring Island is in trouble, Jade Island will surely lend us a hand, got it?”

Wang Yuyan shrugged helplessly, feeling disgruntled with her pragmatic father.

She thought of sneaking to Penglai Island after returning, to have a good talk with Brother Shui Han.

When they returned to Clear Spring Island and disembarked, they saw the Copper Coconut Divine Tree formation had been felled and overturned.

Elder Wang Shun’s eyes narrowed as he exclaimed in shock, “Thieves have been here.”

He immediately led the group back to the island.

Blood stained the springs along the way.

The road, the springs, were filled with blood-soaked corpses.

A heap of bodies, all sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, similar in age to Wang Yuyan, laid separated, destroyed, and blood-covered in a pool of blood.

Wang Yuyan knelt before them, her face pale as she held someone’s hand, unable to even scream in her near-breakdown state, only making incomprehensible sounds with reddened eyes, not knowing what to do. Elder Wang Shun and the others were all filled with fury, becoming dizzy in the chaos.

Elder Wang Shun roared, his body tremoring violently.

Not far away, his junior brother Jiao Pingyang knelt, holding a corpse as he cried out, “Eldest Brother…”

The crowd gathered to see an elder lying on the ground, a sword mark in his brow, his soul already extinguished.

This man was the eldest brother of Elder Wang Shun’s group and the person with the highest cultivation level on the island.

He had long broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm Peak but had been unable to advance further.

No one expected such a calamity to befall him.

The group frantically searched around, finding no survivors left on the island.

More than a hundred disciples, only the thirteen who went with Elder Wang Shun to propose survived.

“What happened here?” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁

In his hurry, Elder Wang Shun spat a mouthful of blood and fainted backward.

Wang Yuyan hurriedly held him up, crying out, “Dad, calm down!”

Suddenly, a blood-covered person emerged from a spring.

Jiao Pingyang was the first to spot him, quickly pulling him from the water and stuffing his mouth with a Third-Tier Qi Replenishing Pill.

It was Zhuo Jinyun, the junior brother who had been sent to Penglai Island by Elder Wang Shun.

He coughed up water, grasping Jiao Pingyang’s hand as he said haltingly, “Quick, leave this place. The people of Penglai Island came for revenge, Aquatic Clan experts personally arrived, they want to cleanse the disgrace of their disciples.”

Jiao Pingyang and the others exchanged looks, cursing loudly, “It’s that bastard Shui Han!”

Zhuo Jinyun weakly nodded, his blood loss too great, causing him to faint instantly from lack of air.

Jiao Pingyang fed him another healing pill and sent a beam of True Qi with his fingers to Elder Wang Shun.

Upon hearing the news, Elder Wang Shun turned pale, cursing silently, “Penglai Island, how ruthless!”

Wang Yuyan’s face also turned colorless as she shook her head vigorously, exclaiming, “How can it be, that’s impossible! Brother Shui Han isn’t like that, you must have mistaken the person!”

She collapsed to the ground, her mind buzzing as she also spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly undergoing Qi deviation.

Jiao Pingyang hurriedly steadied her soul with a press on her forehead and urged everyone, “Calm down first. Our only option now is to seek refuge at Jade Island. Some friends of ours at Clear Spring Island are still alive, we must expose these villains’ crimes.”

The group agreed with his plan and immediately took the secret passage from Clear Spring Island, diving into the sea through a spring, escaping together to Jade Island.

On the vast ocean, a magnificent Dragon Patterned Great Ship, over a hundred meters long, sailed forward toward Jade Island.

On this great ship were over a thousand disciples.

Each one was dressed in white robes, wielding longswords and looking full of energy.

On the deck, three old men were sipping tea.

A group of young disciples stood cautiously behind them, serving quietly without a single person making noise.

One old man cleaned blood from his sword edge, coldly shaking his head, “The frosty edge is not yet dry; a few more are needed.”

“What’s the rush, when we reach Jade Island, wipe them all out completely,” said another old man calmly as he drank tea.

An elder called to a young man behind them, “Shui Han, come here.”

Shui Han, looking somewhat pale, gingerly stepped up and stood before them.

He cupped his fists in salute and said, “Grandfather, do you have instructions?”

The old man asked, “Why did you hesitate when I ordered you to kill?”

With lingering fear, Shui Han replied, “Grandfather, it was Jade Island’s Long Fei who wronged us, not Clear Spring Island. Why be so ruthless, inviting the scrutiny of cultivators upon us?”

The elder laughed heartily, “Our Penglai Island’s legendary name wasn’t earned by benevolence but through slaughter. If there are any who dare defy us, we kill them. Now, see who else dares resist on this sea?”

Shui Han furrowed his brow, unsure of what to say.

He prided himself on being ruthless, yet witnessing the scene earlier, seeing even sixteen or seventeen-year-old female cultivators brutally butchered, was something he couldn’t accept.
