"Puchi!"

The burly man's skull was suddenly opened, and a blue Nascent Soul leaped out from it, its face full of fear. Its body shone with light, and it was about to flee towards the outside of the island.

The red-robed man didn't even glance at it. He casually flicked his finger, and a ball of flame flashed and disappeared into the void.

Several dozen miles outside the island, a red line of fire instantly caught up with the ball of blue light.

With a "bang," the Nascent Soul of the person code-named "Jiao Thirty-Two" directly exploded, turning into a patch of shimmering light and disappearing.

The surrounding people all remained silent upon seeing this, and because they were all wearing masks, they couldn't see each other's expressions at this moment.

Jiao San's gaze swept across the few people, with no meaning of intimidation or warning in his eyes, only a coldness as if looking at dead objects.

As if in his eyes, the few people around him were just a few stones, a few trees, or just some tools.

"Now announcing this mission, go to Red Moon Island and eliminate the island lord, Gongshu Hong." The red-robed man withdrew his gaze and said in a cold tone.

As soon as his voice fell, one person exclaimed softly, "What... it's actually him?"

"This…"

The other few people were also shocked and hesitated.

Han Li, under the bull-headed mask, couldn't help but furrow his brows. He had heard Luo Feng mention Gongshu Hong's name before, and he was not a simple character.

It is said that this person is already a powerful Earth Immortal with mid-stage True Immortal cultivation, practicing the very rare power of Blood within the Water Law. He is inherently bloodthirsty and is infamous throughout the Black Wind Sea.

Normally, someone so fierce and ruthless would definitely have no shortage of enemies, but because his strength was too strong and the power of the law he cultivated was too bizarre, very few people dared to provoke him actively. Unexpectedly, their target this time was actually this person.

"Jiao San... Lord, as far as I know, this Red Moon Island has always been quite mysterious, rarely interacting with other islands, and ever since several thousand years ago, this island has been closed off year-round for some reason, prohibiting other cultivators from stepping foot on it except for necessary contact. It is declared to the outside world that anyone who intrudes on this island without permission will be killed without mercy..." Jiao Ba, wearing a sheep-headed mask, said hesitantly.

"There's no need for you to worry about this. The alliance has already sent people to infiltrate the island and has sent back a lot of information. Originally, we could have waited until we clearly grasped the situation on Red Moon Island before taking action, but half a month ago, the higher-ups of the alliance issued a strict order to kill Red Moon Island Lord Gongshu Hong as soon as possible." Jiao San glanced at Jiao Ba and said slowly.

"It is said that this Red Moon Island Lord is ranked only after the few powerful island lords in the central island in terms of overall strength in the entire Black Wind Sea, and he also has several Loose Immortals under his command. His strength is not to be underestimated." Jiao Sixteen, wearing a tiger-headed mask, pondered slightly and then spoke.

Immediately afterward, a slender voice sounded, it was the graceful woman wearing an owl mask, who stepped forward and said:

"Yes, moreover, as an Earth Immortal, he has the advantage of terrain on Red Moon Island. If we rashly go there, I'm afraid..."

"What a joke! So-called Earth Immortals are just those who know some small tricks! This person's little bit of cultivation is only enough for him to act mighty in your Black Wind Sea." Jiao San snorted coldly upon hearing this.

Han Li had been watching coldly all along, but at this moment he vaguely noticed that Jiao Jiu and Jiao Ba both twitched their shoulders unnaturally after hearing these words, seemingly displeased with Jiao San's words just now.

However, that was all, and neither of them showed any more dissatisfaction.

"I'm putting the ugly words first. If anyone dares to retreat or be afraid of moving forward in this operation to kill this person, Jiao Thirty-Two will be a lesson." Jiao San warned coldly.

Although their faces were covered by masks, the few people couldn't help but look at each other. Through their eyes, they understood each other's thoughts and could only pray for their own good fortune.

Jiao San ignored the reactions of the crowd. He raised one hand and waved his palm towards the sky, and a red light suddenly lit up in the sky.

From within the light, there seemed to be a dragon's roar. A dragon-shaped flying boat about twenty or thirty feet long emerged from it.

Its entire body was fiery red, with a dragon head statue at the bow of the boat, and it was covered with smooth golden spiritual patterns, which were also engraved with clusters of fire cloud patterns, making it look quite extraordinary.

Jiao San leaped and landed lightly on the head of the spiritual boat. A somewhat stiff voice came out again:

"What are you all still standing there for?"

"This is... an Acquired Immortal Artifact. It is indeed the work of an Upper Immortal..." Jiao Jiu, wearing a sheep-faced mask, looked up at the fiery red spiritual boat and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Then, he took the lead and leaped up.

The crowd flew up one after another, and their eyes changed upon hearing this, revealing a look of envy.

Most of these people were Loose Immortals, and apparently none of them owned an Immortal Artifact. Since embarking on the path of immortality, they probably hadn't even seen one a few times.

Han Li was also a little surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the flying boat.

After everyone boarded the spiritual boat, Jiao San formed a hand seal in front of his body and lightly uttered the word "Hurry."

The spiritual boat under him immediately shone brightly with red light, and large swathes of crimson flames emerged, like several fire dragons vying to soar into the sky, carrying the spiritual boat. With a "boom," it rushed to the end of the sky.

The speed was so fast that it could be described as lightning speed.

……

Several days later.

Above a vast blue sea with churning waves, a fiery red light sped towards it and hovered in the high sky, revealing a fiery red dragon-shaped flying boat.

Standing on the flying boat were several figures, all wearing strange masks, looking quite bizarre.

It was the Unstable Alliance members rushing to Red Moon Island.

At this moment, Han Li was standing on one side of the flying boat, looking remotely at a large group of islands over a hundred miles away.

Although it was said to be an island, it was many times larger than Black Flood Dragon Island, looking like an incomparably huge piece of land.

"Here is some information about Red Moon Island, you can each take a look at it." Jiao San said without much fluctuation in his tone.

With that, he waved his palm, and several white jade slips flew out from his hand, heading towards Han Li and the others.

After Han Li received the jade slip, he looked at the crowd next to him, and saw that some of them directly held the jade slip and stuck it to the center of their eyebrows.

He also did the same, and as expected, after the jade slip stuck to the mask, some pictures and words immediately appeared in his sea of consciousness.

After looking at it for a while, Han Li couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly. He discovered that the area of this Red Moon Island was even more vast than he had estimated, almost comparable to a real continent.

"Lord Jiao San, the six or seven locations marked on the map in this jade slip must be where the Red Moon Island Lord might appear. Which location should we go to first?" Jiao Jiu with the sheep-headed mask asked.

"In order to confirm this person's current location as soon as possible, we need to split into three groups and infiltrate from the east, west, and south of the island respectively. First, each of us will investigate a location nearby, and then gradually advance towards the center of the island until we confirm his true location." Jiao San with the dragon-headed mask answered directly without thinking.

Han Li's heart stirred upon hearing this. This kind of arrangement was within his expectations. In fact, he wished he could split into more groups, preferably exploring a route alone, but that was obviously impossible.

Sure enough, he heard Jiao San say:

"Jiao Ba, Jiao Thirteen, Jiao Twenty-One, the three of you will form a team, led by Jiao Ba, and land on the island from the east side to investigate those marked locations in the east."

"Yes." The thin man wearing a monkey mask cupped his hands slightly and responded.

The silent man wearing a bear mask and the graceful woman wearing an owl mask also nodded at the same time, and came behind the monkey-faced man without saying a word.

Jiao San's gaze swept towards the remaining few people and said, "Jiao Jiu, Jiao Fifteen, Jiao Sixteen, the three of you will form the second team, led by Jiao Jiu, and land on the island from the west side to investigate."

"Jiao Jiu will do his best to complete the mission and will never let Lord Jiao San down." Jiao Jiu with the sheep head immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying respectfully.

Han Li then exchanged a glance with the tall man wearing a tiger head mask, and together came behind Jiao Jiu.

Jiao San didn't look at Jiao Jiu much, but turned to look at the last remaining guy, the one wearing the hawk mask, and casually ordered:

"Jiao Twenty-Five, you will follow me and land on the island from the south."

The man responded with a somewhat hoarse voice, and stood directly behind Jiao San without saying much.

"Gongshu Hong is proficient in the Law of Blood and is extremely sensitive to aura. Moreover, some detection restrictions have been set up everywhere on the island. Although we have the masks bestowed by the alliance to conceal our aura, there is no need to worry about being discovered under normal circumstances, but if we use our divine sense to investigate arbitrarily, we are very likely to be noticed. Therefore, after landing on the island, do not use your divine sense at will unless necessary." Jiao San's gaze swept across everyone, his tone carrying a strong warning.

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison.

"One last reminder. After getting on the island, if you discover the Red Moon Island Lord before me, don't act rashly, and immediately notify me through the mask. Remember, although the chances of being discovered by using this thing are small, you can't use it too much. You can only use this thing to contact me in critical moments." Jiao San exhorted in a deep voice.

"Everything will be done according to Lord Jiao San's instructions." Jiao Jiu responded respectfully immediately.

Han Li reached out and touched the mask on his face, suddenly remembering that when he arrived at Sea Banyan Island a few days ago, Jiao San had communicated with him through the mask. This thing was indeed somewhat mysterious.

"Start the operation!"

After Jiao San gave the order, he waved his hand and put away the fiery red spiritual boat.

Then, he reached out and grabbed Jiao Twenty-Five in front of him. Two rainbows of light lit up at the same time and flew towards the east side of Red Moon Island.

Jiao Ba and the others also lit up with light on their bodies and flew away from the spot.

Jiao Jiu, wearing a sheep-headed mask, glanced at Han Li and the other two and said casually, "Let's go," and his figure turned into a green light, taking the lead and flying towards the west.

Han Li and the other two also turned into rainbows of light at the same time and went together, but their speed was obviously slower than the previous few people.
