The colossal mountain formed from purple spirit stones was clearly not natural; it seemed to exist solely to suppress whatever lay beneath.
Initially, Ye Feng was delighted that the entire mountain was composed of purple spirit stones. He had even envisioned mining the purple spirit stones from this mountain in the future and selling them to cultivators, which would be immensely profitable.
However, upon realizing that the mountain apparently served to suppress the terrifying entity below, he immediately abandoned such thoughts. He wasn't sure if disturbing the purple spirit stones of this mountain would allow the entity below to escape. If it did, they would be finished. After all, Ye Feng had seen the thing inside. Although he hadn't seen its exact form, he had witnessed its two purple eyes, each larger than a lantern. Even recalling it now made him feel his body tremble uncontrollably.
After the tremors subsided, Ye Feng hurried forward to help Sun Lei up and asked, "Brother Sun, are you alright?"
"N-no, I'm fine! This place feels so dangerous! Let's go back soon!" Sun Lei had no desire to die here. The tremors had been minor, but if they had been stronger, or if an earthquake had occurred, the entire island could have sunk into the sea, spelling their doom.
Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded quickly, "Alright! I'll escort you back!"
Ye Feng didn't linger. He also didn't want Sun Lei to know the secret of Chaos Stone Island. Although Sun Lei knew there were some purple spirit stones on Chaos Stone Island, he had only found one after searching for a while, and likely didn't believe there were many. Even if Ye Feng found them all, they might only fetch a few million. Therefore, he hadn't paid much attention. He wondered what Sun Lei would think if he knew the entire Chaos Stone Island was formed from purple spirit stones. If Ye Feng told him that the colossal mountain of Chaos Stone Island was entirely purple spirit stones, he suspected Sun Lei would sell the information and make a fortune. After all, who could resist such temptation? Thus, to avoid further complications, Ye Feng paid him promptly and sent him back.
Knowing about the purple spirit stones, Ye Feng understood the Tang family's motives. They had likely discovered the purple spirit stones here, which led them to try every means to seize the waters around Chaos Stone Island. In fact, everything was as Ye Feng suspected; the Tang family was indeed after the purple spirit stones on Chaos Stone Island. Last month, a fleet was unfortunately caught in the waters of Chaos Stone Island, but one person managed to survive. This survivor discovered several pieces of purple spirit stones on the island and, out of curiosity, took them with him. The Tang family owned an antique company, and after leaving, the survivor sold the purple spirit stones to them. Upon receiving the purple spirit stones, the Tang family was overjoyed. Through persistent persuasion, the survivor informed the Tang family about obtaining the items on Chaos Stone Island, which led to the conflict between the Tang family and Ye Feng over the waters of Chaos Stone Island.
Having figured this out, Ye Feng became even more determined not to cede the waters of Chaos Stone Island to the Tang family. If they knew that the colossal mountain on Chaos Stone Island was a single, enormous purple spirit stone, given their disposition, they would undoubtedly proceed to damage and mine it without hesitation. And if they did so, they would release the terrifying monster within, which would be catastrophic.
Meanwhile, in his room, Tang Bo, the head of the Tang family, was angrily confronting Tang Zhiyang. The reason was that he had learned Tang Zhiyang had spent forty million yuan and still failed to eliminate Ye Feng. In other words, it was a complete waste of effort. How could he not be furious?
"Useless, useless! You failed again! Do you know how important the waters of Chaos Stone Island are to us?" Tang Bo roared in anger.
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang lowered his head, not daring to look at him, but he muttered softly, "Father, aren't they just a few worthless stones? Why don't we just give up on Chaos Stone Island?"
Tang Bo became even more enraged at this remark. He strode over and slapped him. Then, he angrily cursed, "You useless fool, you know nothing! That island likely has a large quantity of purple spirit stones. As long as we obtain these purple spirit stones, we can make those arrogant cultivators obediently follow our commands!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang flinched and said, "Oh! I, I understand! But we've tried every method, and that scoundrel Ye Feng just refuses to give us the waters of Chaos Stone Island!"
Tang Bo frowned at this and said, "Then we'll go to Chaos Stone Island and deal with him. Doesn't that scoundrel want to raise fish? I won't even let him raise shrimp..."
At this moment, Ye Feng was on his way back after escorting Sun Lei.
*Ah-choo!*
He sneezed suddenly, almost swerving the steering wheel.
"Damn it, who the hell is badmouthing me behind my back!" Ye Feng muttered softly.
However, Ye Feng didn't dwell on it. Upon returning to the dock, he immediately boarded a boat and headed for Chaos Stone Island. The mother fish and shrimp fry he had purchased had just arrived, and Ye Feng was not entirely at ease, so he had to check on them frequently. If necessary, he would even have to infuse them with his Sea God's power to prevent them from dying due to an unsuitable environment. After all, they were items bought for over ten million. If they died, Ye Feng would be heartbroken.
It was already evening when he arrived at Chaos Stone Island. Ye Feng still insisted on infusing the fish fry and shrimp fry with Sea God's power before returning to his residence, feeling exhausted. With this, Ye Feng's business could be considered truly on track; everything else just awaited time. Due to Ye Feng having expended a large amount of Sea God's power in the past few days searching for yellow-lipped fish and bluefin tuna in the sea, and then infusing the fish fry and shrimp fry with Sea God's power, he was now extremely fatigued.
Upon returning to his residence, he felt that his Sea God's power was recovering too slowly. He decided to directly teleport to the Sea God Palace to recover his spiritual power properly. As soon as he entered the Sea God Palace, Ye Feng felt a wave of comfort wash over him, with dense Sea God's power surging into his body. Unbeknownst to him, from a large hole in front of him, a pair of purple eyes had been staring at him...
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Ye Feng stood up, feeling refreshed, and stretched. He felt incredibly comfortable. After yawning a few times, he slowly walked out of the thatched hut, or rather, the Sea God Palace. He silently recited the teleportation command, and the next second, he appeared inside his residence.
"Boss, boss! It's bad! Something terrible has happened!"
However, as soon as he teleported back, he heard someone knocking on the door and shouting loudly, as if calling his soul. Ye Feng opened the door with a look of confusion. A group of people stood outside, and one man almost lunged in.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Why aren't you checking on the fish this morning and making such a racket here?" Ye Feng asked with a hint of displeasure and confusion.
The man replied frantically, "Several terrifying sharks have arrived and are currently attacking our aquaculture pens..."
