Chu Tian brushed away Xiao Hei, who had leaned in, and patted his shoulder.
"You... keep pulling the boat when you go back!"
"Uh..."
Xiao Hei, who had been grinning, suddenly froze on the spot.
"Xiao Long Nu, Old City Lord, how about you accompany me on a trip?" Chu Tian asked.
"We'd be delighted. We were just thinking of touring the scenery!" Wei Du chuckled.
Qiu Shaotian, however, had a strange expression. The moment Chu Tian spoke,
He had pointed out two individuals with heavenly cultivation.
The woman called Xiao Long Nu and this old man.
Qiu Shaotian couldn't discern their cultivation.
They both looked like ordinary people.
However, the fact that they could hover in the air meant they were no ordinary individuals.
Thus, the only possibility was that their cultivation was extremely high.
Perhaps they had reached the legendary Tian Yi realm.
The so-called Tian Yi realm was something he had heard of in the underwater city.
Even among the eight great families, very few people knew of this realm.
"Count me in!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed from a distance.
Qiu Shaotian's heart skipped a beat.
So, another Heavenly Yi realm expert was going to join.
He had seen this person in action before.
When they were on Pilgrimage Island, those six white-robed figures transformed from Flood Dragons.
As soon as they appeared, before they could even utter a word, this person extended a hand, and a vast, sky-shading palm appeared in the air.
It directly crushed those six Flood Dragons to death.
That wasn't all...
With a wave of his hand, the colossal Flood Dragons were reduced to the size of strips of dried meat.
They were thrown into his mouth... and eaten!
Not only that, he also exclaimed how satisfying it was.
He truly wondered what kind of monster this person was.
Chu Tian heard the voice and naturally turned his gaze.
He thought: He's quite enthusiastic, actually offering to help.
Chu Xinghe was slowly walking over.
His thoughts were: I'd like to see what sort of thing dares to touch my daughter-in-law. I'll slap them to death when I get there!
"Thank you, senior. May I know who you are..." Chu Tian had met him a few times.
But due to being too busy, no one had introduced them.
So, they had never spoken to each other directly.
"Senior? Hehe... My name is Chu Xinghe!"
"So it's you!" Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
He remembered this name. He had met him once in the secret realm below the Luo family's small world.
At that time, Chu Xinghe was covered in a ghostly aura.
He was a completely different person from his current appearance.
Furthermore, at that time, Chu Xinghe was acting mad and talking.
His words were incredibly arrogant, as if he were the heaven itself.
Chu Tian had even thought at the time.
Look at him. We have the same surname, Chu, why am I so weak?
When Chu Tian saw Chu Xinghe's imposing aura back then, he envied him greatly.
"You know me?"
Chu Xinghe's eyes also lit up upon hearing Chu Tian's words.
"I met senior in the Luo family's small world!"
Chu Tian explained very politely.
"Oh!" Chu Xinghe, whose eyes had initially brightened.
After hearing Chu Tian's words, he simply replied with a single word.
Then he fell silent.
"Uh...?"
Noticing the sudden shift in the other person's attitude.
Chu Tian was stunned and felt very awkward. He touched his nose.
Did I say something wrong?
This guy is so peculiar.
Thinking about it, it made sense... I saw him cultivating both the corpse and ghost arts before. Such cultivators must have strange tempers!
Understanding the reason, he didn't dwell on the matter further.
He glanced at the island. The matter here was settled.
There was nothing worth staying for.
Chu Tian waved his hand.
"Prepare to board the ship and go home!"
Thousands of people cheered, finally saved.
"Why is the ship docked so far away? How are we supposed to get there? We can't fly, and they don't know to dock it closer!"
As everyone was cheering, a different voice suddenly emerged.
Chu Tian tilted his head, and his gaze fell upon a man.
He was refined-looking and wore glasses.
As soon as his sarcastic remark came out,
Someone next to him tugged at him.
"Li Meng, stop talking. This isn't a port where boats dock close to shore. Besides, it's a blessing that our boss came to save us!"
This person was likely a friend he knew in real life.
The vast majority of people nodded, feeling that this person spoke the truth.
Being alive was already a great fortune, so they shouldn't talk about flying.
Even if they couldn't swim, they could find a way to get on board.
However, a small portion of people remained in a state of watching the show.
Although they didn't express anything, their eyes held different meanings.
Yet, the Li Meng, after being tugged, did not stop his words.
Instead, he stretched out his neck and shouted at everyone.
"We were implicated by him, so can't I speak my mind? Is it not right for him to come and save us? Why should we be grateful?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people's expressions changed.
At this moment, several more people stepped forward.
"Yes, we were implicated by him. I want to terminate the agreement with the Inverse God Alliance and demand compensation!"
"Terminate the agreement and compensate us!"
"This matter cannot be settled without five million!"
"Me too, I demand the termination of the agreement, with all my equipment retained, plus cash compensation!"
"What are you all watching for? We are fighting for everyone's benefit!"
As more people stepped forward, they spoke one after another.
Some even incited those who remained silent.
"Heh heh..." Chu Tian suddenly laughed.
The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
Those dozen or so troublemakers shivered.
They felt a chill emanate from the depths of their hearts.
The one named Li Meng also shivered.
But he gritted his teeth, took another step forward, and faced Chu Tian directly.
"What are you laughing at? Don't think you can do anything to us just because we're on this deserted island! Now you must give us an explanation!"
Chu Tian, with a faint smile, stared at him.
He slowly said, "Are you done?"
"Ah? Done... done!"
Li Meng was taken aback for a moment, then he stuck out his neck.
His eyes flickered, and he thought, why isn't this person acting according to the script?
Shouldn't he be angry, or agree to compensation immediately? What did he mean by asking that?
However, in the next moment, Chu Tian shifted his gaze to the side and downward.
"Yaoyao, are those the people you mentioned?"
Qin Yao tilted her head and shook her head at Chu Tian, saying.
"And him, him, her, her..."
The little girl pointed at several people in the crowd!
Several people were singled out by her.
Thousands of people were surprised.
Even Xiao Hei and the others didn't understand what was happening.
Only Chu Tian and Qin Yao knew why she had pointed out those people.
Including these few troublemakers, there were over a thousand people.
Of course, those who were pointed out knew very well what was happening.
As Qin Yao pointed at them, their eyes narrowed.
"You... what do you mean..." Li Meng's expression turned very unpleasant.
"It means nothing. If you hadn't spoken up, I would have dealt with it silently!
For example, kicking you out of the guild and sending you back to the新手村 (novice village)!" Chu Tian chuckled as he said this.
Seeing those people's expressions worsen, Chu Tian continued.
"But since you've jumped out, we'll deal with it here!"
As the last word was spoken, Chu Tian's aura surged.
A trace of divine soul power emerged, targeting the people Qin Yao had pointed out.
