The six white-robed figures, transformed from the flood dragons, were clearly incensed by his demeanor and words.
One of them made a move to act.
However, he was stopped by another, who shook his head.
Next, Zheng Enlai's voice continued to be heard.
"Ascend the platform to gaze upon the Eastern Sea,
Where the celestial mountain's dome remains concealed.
Within the island, the universe resides in emptiness,
Attain the Heavenly Dao and shatter primordial chaos.
Hahaha… You beasts, this young master remembers you… When I'm done, I'll visit Qiankun Island to have some fun with you!"
This Zheng Enlai uttered four lines of doggerel.
After finishing, he let out a wild laugh.
However… it was these few words.
The six flood dragons, upon hearing the word "beasts" directed at them, dared not speak in anger but were filled with resentment.
Upon hearing the words "Qiankun Island," their bodies trembled violently.
Qiankun Island was precisely where Chu Tian and the others were headed.
It was the nesting ground of their flood dragon clan.
Far away at the center of Chaoshng Island, the captain with the goatee atop the peak.
Also heard the other party's words.
His body also gave a jolt, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Dengxian Island, someone from the Zheng family?" He immediately felt that things had escalated.
He raised his arm and looked at the viscous liquid that Qiu Shaotian had transformed into.
He gave a wry smile, thinking how unlucky this young fellow was.
In the time it took to urinate, he managed to offend such a powerful individual!
"Captain, who are people from the Zheng family of Dengxian Island?" someone nearby asked, puzzled.
The goatee man cast a glance at him.
"Don't ask, don't inquire; it's for your own good!"
When he said this, the eyes of those present flickered, becoming even more curious.
But since the captain had spoken, they couldn't press the matter further.
"Brother Qiu, who is the woman that the Zheng fellow took away?"
After speaking to everyone, the goatee captain walked away by himself.
He softly asked the fragmented remains of Qiu Shaotian's body on his arm.
"Zhang Chengcheng from the Zhang family!"
Qiu Shaotian did not hide anything.
Although his voice was weak, it sounded like he was not seriously injured.
"The Zhang family… Zhang Chengcheng…? The Zhang family we cooperate with… to run the casino…?"
The goatee man furrowed his brow.
"Do you want to ask why he captured an agent from a declining family in the mortal world?"
Qiu Shaotian spoke up.
The goatee man couldn't help but nod; that was indeed what he was thinking.
"Although the Zhang family has fallen, don't forget it's still one of the Eight Great Families!
And this Zhang Chengcheng, while outwardly engaging in various profitable businesses in the mortal realm, is…
According to the information I've received, the Zhang family has already designated her as the next clan leader!"
Qiu Shaotian slowly revealed the inside information he knew.
He hit the nail on the head, bringing up the Eight Great Families.
The goatee man's expression suddenly jolted.
That's right…
No matter how fallen the Zhang family was, it was still one of the Eight Great Families.
The Eight Great Families had been engaging in internal strife in recent years.
Many people might have forgotten what the Eight Great Families were like in the past!
Legend had it that the Eight Great Families had existed hundreds of years ago.
They had risen and fallen, with constant conflicts between families.
However…
Once external forces intervened.
The Eight Great Families would instantly unite as one.
That is to say, we can fight amongst ourselves, but if outsiders dare to touch one of our own, try them!
In recent years, the Eight Great Families had rarely been active in the public eye.
Nor had they done anything earth-shattering.
Everyone had forgotten that the Eight Great Families actually had teeth.
Many people even believed that the legends of the Eight Great Families were fabricated.
This was because no peak experts had emerged from these families.
Thus, they were gradually forgotten.
"It seems things are more…
The goatee man stopped here, unsure how to describe it.
"Interesting?"
Qiu Shaotian interjected.
"Uh…"
The goatee man was speechless, his expression strange.
"Alright, little Maimai, stop pretending… It's just the two of us here, hurry up and help me find my body fragments. Don't you find it disgusting for two smelly men to stick together like this?"
The goatee man walked further away, leaving the crowd behind and heading to a secluded spot.
Qiu Shaotian suddenly changed his tone, calling out "little Maimai."
"Damn… if you call me by my nickname again, believe it or not, I'll throw this body fragment of yours into the sea too!"
The goatee man's beard was practically bristling.
"Oh… Yang Xiaomai, you dare… If I hadn't saved you, would I have become like this?"
Qiu Shaotian's voice also grew louder.
It turned out these two had known each other for a long time.
They had been pretending not to know each other.
"I… I let you save me?" Yang Xiao Mai's chin jutted out, his beard twitching.
"Fine, fine… you didn't let me… I did it voluntarily, oh… Last time I lost this eyeball!
Who knows what I'll lose this time!"
Qiu Shaotian said in a sarcastic tone.
"Uh… alright, stop digging up the past. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you find your vital organs first this time!"
Yang Xiao Mai's face was peculiar as he quickened his pace towards the sea.
He didn't say it out loud, but in his heart, he remembered that this was the second time Qiu Shaotian had saved him.
The first time… was thirty years ago!
"Hurry up and search! Your sheepish smell is making me nauseous!"
Qiu Shaotian didn't want to argue with him and urged him on.
"By the way… do you know if anyone secretly entered the teleportation array?"
Yang Xiao Mai suddenly recalled Qiu Shaotian preventing everyone from checking the tourists earlier.
"Don't ask, don't inquire; it's for your own good!"
However… he received the same words that he had said to his subordinates earlier.
"Damn…"
Angered, Yang Xiao Mai's beard twitched three more times.
…
Far below Qiankun Island.
Chu Tian pursued the Ancestral Dragon Emperor's Qi, swimming rapidly in one direction.
The golden-glowing figure in front was moving incredibly fast underwater.
For a moment, Chu Tian could only maintain the same speed.
It was clearly impossible to intercept it for the time being.
Just as Chu Tian was at a loss and feeling anxious,
The little golden dragon in front suddenly flicked its tail.
It turned upwards and disappeared.
This startled Chu Tian.
However, after a moment's thought, this little fellow must have hidden somewhere.
He quickly went to the spot where it had disappeared and searched carefully.
Indeed, he found a finger-thick hole where the little golden dragon had vanished.
He brought his eye closer to the hole and looked inside.
The small hole still emitted golden light outwards.
Chu Tian peered in and saw the little golden dragon looking at him from the opening.
It tilted its head, waved at Chu Tian with an astonished expression.
Chu Tian then realized that this fellow was leading the way…
However, after waving and seeing Chu Tian not enter, it stroked its chin, looking somewhat perplexed.
It then waved at Chu Tian again and pointed backward.
Its meaning was, "Come in, why aren't you coming? We need to go further inside."
Chu Tian was immediately filled with frustration.
A hole the size of a finger, how the hell was he supposed to get in?
Did this fellow have no brains?
As Chu Tian was thinking, the little golden dragon flicked its tail.
It actually rushed out and used its two toothpick-thin claws.
It hugged Chu Tian's finger and began to pull him in…
It also made noises, as if to say, "I'll help you get in!"
Chu Tian was so exasperated that he shook his hand, pushing it away.
He then began to search the stone.
He guessed that this might be the entrance to the gourd.
However, it was only this small… opening…
