Capítulo 1616: Chapter 1616: Ran Right Into Trouble
Shui Han’s grandfather is considered a significant figure within the Aquatic Clan on Penglai Island.
He and his two brothers are blood brothers born of the same mother, belonging to the De generation.
Shui Han’s grandfather is the eldest, named Shui Dehong.
The second is named Shui Deqing, and the third is named Shui Dewei.
Among the three grandfathers, the third is the most violent and brutal, having once made a name for himself at sea.
When the older generation mentions the three brothers, fear is evident.
They never expected their grandchild, after going out for training, would return severely injured by others.
In their eyes, this was a provocation against them.
If they don’t resolve this matter properly, they cannot establish themselves on Penglai Island.
Thus, the higher-ups of Penglai Island are unaware of this matter, as they don’t allow Shui Han to mention it to anyone.
Clear Spring Island, although not greatly involved, is indeed where this matter started.
Clear Spring Island invited their grandchild to help, but when others attacked their grandchild, Clear Spring Island did not intervene.
This is unforgivable and deserves death.
They regretted that Island Master Wang Shun avoided a calamity.
But it didn’t matter; their ship headed straight for Jade Island to eliminate Elder Wang Shun and the people of Jade Island.
Shui Dehong, seeing his grandson silent, understood that young people lacked training and finding it hard to accept such killing was normal.
He changed the subject, asking his grandson, “Han’er, you said that the Island Master of Jade Island also killed our Outer Sect Elder Yan Shixing?”
Shui Han nodded and said, “It’s absolutely true. It’s said to be because Yan Shixing colluded with pirates, harming the area, and was killed by that young Dragon fellow.”
Shui Dehong frowned tightly, “Shouldn’t the higher-ups have known about this matter? Why is there no response?”
Shui Deqing said, “You don’t know the Jin Clan’s lineage; despite their name, they cultivate fierce energy. They insist on meticulous planning before acting. Without solid preparation, they won’t take action.”
Shui Dewei said, “I heard that the Clan Leader went under the sea recently to seize opportunities and was heavily injured, remaining in seclusion till now?”
Shui Han said with some schadenfreude, “Third Grandpa, you’re right. Not only was he heavily injured, but his son Jin Hong also met a tragic end at the hands of others.”
Shui Dewei laughed heartily, “That serves the Jin Clan boy right. Originally, the Clan Leader’s position should have been taken by your brother-in-law, Jin Wujiang. But the Elders Council was blind and passed the Clan Leader position to Jin Wuheng. Our Penglai Island’s Island Master’s seat is rotated among our Five Clans. It switches every hundred years, with a new master every ten years. Now there are only two months left before the ten-year term ends, and the martial competition for the Clan Leader will start again. As long as we support your brother-in-law fully and help him become Clan Leader, you can ascend smoothly in the clan.”
Shui Deqing said, “I hadn’t thought of that. Jin Wuheng must be preparing for the Clan Leader selection, ensuring his reputation won’t be harmed by provoking major enemies during this time.”
Shui Dehong cursed, “For the sake of his own stability, letting our Penglai Island suffer such humiliation, he’s unfit to be Island Master.”
The three old men each cursed, unsatisfied with just tea, they pulled out wine and each drank a large bowl.
As they were speaking, an island appeared in front of them.
Shui Dehong stood up, looked into the distance, and asked, “Which island is this?”
Shui Han beckoned, calling over the guide accompanying them.
This guide was ugly, two meters tall, with heavy wings on his back, a bird’s body and a human face, an eagle-hooked nose, and white hair—the essence of a White-headed Eagle.
In this world, sea creatures vastly outnumber those on land.
The Eagle Tribe alone is filled with intelligent Eagles.
Penglai Island has tamed many, letting them fly freely to gather intelligence, transmit messages, and scout terrains.
This eagle demon is a Demon King among the White-headed Eagles, having reached the Core Formation Stage under the Shui Clan’s care.
The Core Formation Stage is a remarkable cultivation level within the Demon Clan.
It introduced the place to the group, “This is Wave Island, which used to belong to the Sea King Sect. Originally a bustling trade hub, I heard it was seized a few days ago, though now it’s unknown to whom it belongs!”
Shui Dehong frowned, “It’s quite a name. Since we’re here, let’s go and take a look.”
Shui Han nodded and immediately went to the cockpit to give instructions.
This dragon-headed ship is incredibly well-crafted, divided into the cockpit, living quarters, and recreational rooms, similar to the ships of the outside world.
With all the disciples on board, there are more than a thousand people in total.
Before the ship reached the island, the disciples assigned to lookout duty on the mast quickly reported, “Elders, a large port has been spotted on the island with over a hundred warships docked.”
The group was taken aback, standing up one after another.
Some stepped into the air to observe, some looked ahead from where they stood.
At the port of Wave Island, warships were lined up neatly.
Warships came and went, seemingly constructing the port, continuously transporting supplies onto the island.
Shui Dehong frowned tightly, “Aren’t these people the enemies who destroyed the Sea King Sect?”
Shui Deqing said, “Although the Sea King Sect was pirates, they were under the protection of our Penglai Island. By attacking the Sea King Sect, they are clearly making it difficult for us.”
Shui Dewei excitedly drew his sword, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s charge ashore and retake this island.”
Shui Dehong stretched out his hand, “Don’t act so hastily. We are here to deal with Jade Island, and the relationship between these people and Jade Island is unclear; let’s not complicate matters.”
He turned and instructed his grandson, “Han’er, take some men to inquire first, see if they’re friend or foe. If they have nothing to do with Jade Island, then we can let them go for now.”
Shui Han clasped his fists in acknowledgment and immediately took a dozen elite disciples, flying over on swords.
Sword lights streaked across the sky, landing above the port at a height of hundreds of meters.
Shui Han called out lightly from above, “Hey, who are you people? How dare you occupy the Sea King Sect’s territory?”
On a warship below, Chu Feng, accompanied by Bald Dog, Old Lvv, Da Heiniu, the Golden-Winged Roc, the Sea Demon Ape, the Little Kirin, and the Green-eyed Toad Four-Poison Demon, was preparing for a hunt.
According to their words, it was to uphold the prestige of Jade Island.
Attacking pirates when seen and forming alliances with islands to establish Jade Island’s diplomatic efforts.
Who knew someone would suddenly dare shout above their heads?
Chu Feng glanced at the leading youth and disdainfully snorted, “Who might you be? A disciple of the Sea King Sect?”
Shui Han shouted, “Nonsense, I am a proud member of the Aquatic Clan from Penglai Island, not a disciple of these pirates!”
Chu Feng frowned, “Then why are you shouting from up there? This Sea King Sect territory is occupied by me. Are you here to seek justice for them, or do you have any objections?” This update ıs available on 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
Shui Han’s face tensed, not expecting such arrogance.
The disciples behind him yelled, “Hey, how dare you be so rude to our senior brother?”
Someone shouted, “The Sea King Sect was under Penglai Island’s protection. You disregard us and just occupy this place. Do you even consider us?”
“Immediately kneel down to greet our Elders, or everyone here will be slaughtered!”
The disciples behind Shui Han were increasingly fierce, hurling insults at Chu Feng, spitting saliva like rain, nearly grossing out Chu Feng and his group.
