The sky above Wanwan Island was overcast with dark clouds.
Above the dark clouds were Xiao Hei, Miao Zuo, Wei Du, Chu Xinghe, Xiao Longnu, and Old Yang.
Before the six of them stood a man in ancient attire.
This man was none other than the so-called master of Dengxian Island.
Zheng... Enlai!
"Who are you people?" Zheng Enlai gazed at the six individuals before him.
His eyes held surprise, even a hint of horror.
"You little brat, I wanted to ask who *you* are and why you attacked me!" Xiao Hei was currently in his true form.
The dark clouds beneath him were born from him.
"Uh..." Zheng Enlai paused for a moment.
But he ignored Xiao Hei, scanning the group.
His gaze fell upon Wei Du and Chu Xinghe.
"This strange beast... is it your mount?" Zheng Enlai inquired.
As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the group shifted.
They felt that this fellow completely disregarded Xiao Hei.
He treated him as nothing more than a beast...
"Damn your ancestors... your whole family are strange beasts, and your ancestors for three generations were beasts! Die!"
Xiao Hei was utterly enraged by this remark.
A massive thunderball, crackling with lightning, shot towards Zheng Enlai.
Zheng Enlai's body flickered, and Xiao Hei's furious strike grazed past him.
All of this appeared incredibly effortless...
"Hmm?" Xiao Hei and the others looked on with surprise.
This man...
Was very strong!
"If this strange beast has no master, how about I buy it?"
Zheng Enlai spoke with his usual composure.
He clearly did not take the six people before him seriously.
"He is our companion, not a mount..." Miao Zuo said, talismans swirling around him, ready to act at any moment.
"Companion? Just a mere beast..." Zheng Enlai chuckled upon hearing this.
"Too much talk, get him!"
Old Yang directly interrupted him, thrusting his spear forward, and charging.
"Heh heh... a bunch of brutes! If that's the case, I won't play with you any longer!"
As Zheng Enlai spoke, his form began to fade.
When Old Yang's spear pierced his body,
The man turned transparent and then vanished.
Only his arrogant laughter echoed in the air.
"However... there is nothing I desire that I cannot obtain!
That beast... will sooner or later become my mount... Hahaha!"
Seeing his attack was ineffective, Old Yang's eyes flickered.
"Stop playing tricks... come out!"
Old Yang's words reverberated through the air.
But there was no reply from the other side.
"Don't waste your effort. That was just a clone of him. If his main body were here, I would have already made a move!
However, this clone is very strange...
I observed earlier and found no connection between it and the main body. Otherwise..."
Wei Du narrowed his eyes and looked towards the east.
"Yes, that's right. I felt it too. This clone of his is like an independent entity!"
Chu Xinghe also suddenly spoke.
"Who is this person?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Chu Xinghe.
He was the only native of Blue Star here.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either! I was sealed in the tomb for nearly 20 years... I've been out of touch with everything for a long time!"
Chu Xinghe shrugged his shoulders.
His every movement was remarkably similar to Chu Tian's habitual actions.
...
On the east side of Wanwan Island, on a small island invisible from the outside,
A figure descended before him.
Zheng Enlai looked up, and the figure was identical to him.
The figure said nothing, but merged directly into the other's body.
The latter then set down the teacup in his hand.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Hmm? This Wanwan Island is so lively? Heh heh... If that's the case, the Zhang family can wait a couple more days!
That beast like a qilin is far more important than the Zhang family... I must find a way to get it!"
He murmured, tapping his fingers on the table.
Clearly, he had set his sights on Xiao Hei.
As Zheng Enlai's clone merged with his main body, which remained on the island, he became aware of what had transpired.
It was evident that his clone technique was not ordinary.
It possessed independent thought.
Anyone would be astonished to witness it.
A strong cultivator who had reached the Void Realm could already separate their divine consciousness and travel afar.
However, the clone would be controlled by the main body.
It was unknown how Zheng Enlai had cultivated such a clone with its own consciousness.
Furthermore, the moment the clone returned to the main body,
His cultivation base had also significantly increased.
However, Wei Du and the others were unaware.
Zheng Enlai had more than one such clone.
One of them, at this very moment...
Was speeding across the vast ocean.
His direction was a straight line, as if he had a definite destination.
"Damn it... the Innate Dao Qi is dim...
Zhang Chengcheng, you are dead!
As for that man, I will tear you into a thousand pieces!"
This clone, identical to Zheng Enlai, had a sinister look in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, his face taking on a greenish hue as if he had consumed poison.
Clearly, he was enraged to the extreme!
The man cursed and increased his speed.
...
Chu Tian, who had just arrived at Chaosheng Island, was unaware that someone was already coveting him.
Qiu Shaotian and Wang Pangzi saw Chu Tian and Zhang Chengcheng walking out hand in hand on the deck.
Their gazes were immediately filled with an unusual expression.
"Pah, pah, pah... Fatty dislikes eating dog food the most!"
Wang Pangzi turned his body in another direction.
He presented his back to Chu Tian and the others.
Qiu Shaotian also pursed his lips.
"Let's go!" Chu Tian and Zhang Chengcheng approached them.
The ship had long since docked, and the tourists were eagerly disembarking.
The few of them were completely out of the ordinary.
Even the sailors on the ship had gone ashore to seek entertainment.
"Eh, why are there two Flying Dragon ships over there? Why haven't they returned?" Wang Pangzi, with his back to Chu Tian, said suddenly as he looked into the distance.
Chu Tian cast his gaze over.
Indeed, there were two more Flying Dragon ships, identical to the cruise ship beneath them.
If, as Wang Pangzi said, one of those ships was the one Yaoyao was on.
Midway, her teacher discovered Yaoyao missing and contacted Qin Xiaorou.
Logically, when such an incident occurred,
They should have immediately turned back and undergone an investigation.
However, this Flying Dragon ship had a deep background and continued its voyage to this point.
But three days had passed, and by the time this cruise ship arrived, they should have already departed for their return journey.
And at this moment, there was no one on that ship.
The tourists were not preparing to board and return.
Six days had passed since the incident.
After boarding, Chu Tian learned that the Flying Dragon ship he was on was not the same one as Yaoyao's.
Furthermore, there was one cruise ship that had already made a trip between them.
Did this mean that the tourists on this island were all owners of three cruise ships?
Chu Tian sensed something peculiar.
"Why should we hand over our Heavenly Dao Helmets?"
As Chu Tian and the others were heading towards the disembarkation area, a commotion suddenly erupted from afar.
Everyone cast their gaze in that direction.
It was the disembarkation point.
Many people were queuing up, undergoing inspections one by one.
