Behind Jiang Wang stood a boat full of ordinary people willing to testify for him, while before him were three extraordinary cultivators from the Raging Whale Gang.

Beneath his feet was a dragon bone boat, with Xia Island not far away.

This was the main base of the Raging Whale Gang.

He should have been terrified, but he was composed.

He seemed like he ought to retreat, but he was resolute.

Jiang Wang! At this moment, Li Daorong suddenly recalled things related to that name, remembering who Jiang Wang was.

He was the number one at the Tenglong realm in the world, one who defeated Wang Yiwu, a direct disciple of the God of War, in the same realm, and even surpassed a small realm to defeat Lei Zhangan, the pride of the Lei Clan.

He was a Great Qi prodigy whose reputation had already spread to the Near Sea Islands.

Yet he had previously overlooked it!

Perhaps the damage caused by the sea beast had made him anxious, or perhaps being near Xia Island had given him too much confidence.

He hadn’t considered how such a young cultivator could have killed the eight-clawed sea beast.

But now, he had been pushed onto the stage and had no choice but to face it.

So, should he claim that the man had indiscriminately killed the Raging Whale Gang’s sea beast, and capture him? Could he use this to absolve himself of responsibility and exchange it for something from the State of Qi?

As for killing Jiang Wang, such a Great Qi prodigy, he didn’t even dare to think about it. Since Jiang Wang had announced his name, the traces of his journey here were as clear as candlelight in the dark night to those who cared. Once he disappeared, the news couldn’t be concealed.

And another question was… even if the three of them attacked together, one Inner Mansion and two Tenglong, could they be a match for Jiang Wang?

Li Daorong would have to be crazy to have such confidence!

But to retreat like this, in front of these ordinary people, in front of his subordinates, would be a loss of face… He was, after all, a Hall Master of the Raging Whale Gang, one of the highest-ranking figures on Xia Island. How could he take back what he had said?

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, three more extraordinary cultivators flew over from afar.

One was an Inner Mansion realm cultivator, and two were Tenglong realm. However, the leader was a middle-aged woman, followed by two young male cultivators.

They all wore purple robes, embroidered with the circular emblem of the Five Immortals Sect.

From this, one could see the difference in the Near Sea Islands. In the State of Qi, not many people dared to wear purple clothing casually.

Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng each had a purple robe bestowed by the Qi Emperor, a rare proof of their merit.

“Oh! Isn’t this Hall Master Li? Who are you making such a fuss with here?” The middle-aged woman spoke from afar, her tone relaxed and natural.

She couldn’t help but be relaxed.

For many years, the competition between the Five Immortals Sect and the Raging Whale Gang had existed on Xia Island. Some minor sects had long been driven away or annexed by them.

But the Raging Whale Gang had lost its backer at the beginning of the year, and today it had lost its tamed sea beast. If used properly, the eight-clawed sea beast’s combat power would definitely exceed that of an ordinary Inner Mansion cultivator, making it a rare resource.

What could the Raging Whale Gang use to compete with the Five Immortals Sect in such a state?

“Fan Qingqing!”

The matter hadn’t been resolved, and the Five Immortals Sect had come to watch the show. Li Daorong felt his cheeks ache, and said through gritted teeth, “It’s none of your business, don’t interfere!”

Fan Qingqing, whose appearance was not as charming as her name, covered her mouth and laughed, “The Five Immortals Sect can manage anything around Xia Island.”

She glared at Li Daorong, immediately revealing a hint of ferocity, “What, is the Raging Whale Gang not convinced?”

When Hai Zongming had just died, the Five Immortals Sect hadn’t made any moves, as if observing the situation to confirm its truth.

But since the beginning of this year, they had been pressing harder and harder.

The Raging Whale Gang had temporarily failed to find a new backer, and could only retreat again and again in the face of the Five Immortals Sect’s aggression.

Today, Li Daorong was no exception.

He could only retort weakly, “See how arrogant you can be for!”

Fan Qingqing glanced at him contemptuously, then smiled and looked at Jiang Wang, “Where did this little brother come from? Don’t be so angry, put away your sword. Tell me, what happened? The cultivators of our Five Immortals Sect have always been reasonable, unlike some swindlers, you can rest assured!”

Because the Five Immortals Sect had Zhu Biqiong’s master standing behind them, he was deliberately more approachable to the people of the Five Immortals Sect, hence his much milder attitude.

Jiang Wang smiled, and indeed took his hand off the sword hilt, “I came from Linzi, to handle a case, disturbing this precious place. Today’s matter is quite simple. I merely casually killed an out-of-control sea beast to protect the people on the boat, and this fellow named Li jumped out, saying that I killed their tamed guardian sea beast and wanted to teach me a lesson!”

Fan Qingqing feigned surprise, “Is that so? Hall Master Li, isn’t this distorting the truth? How could the Raging Whale Gang do such a thing, how could there be such people?”

Jiang Wang smiled helplessly, indicating that he couldn’t understand it.

Although the two were meeting for the first time, they cooperated seamlessly, slapping Li Daorong’s face repeatedly.

Dealing with one Jiang Wang was already impossible, and now Fan Qingqing had arrived, there was no way to resolve the matter. Li Daorong didn’t want to continue being humiliated here, so he flicked his long sleeves, “I’m too lazy to argue with you. The future is long, justice will prevail!”

If he had just left like that, it would have been fine.

But because he was angry, he suddenly turned his head before leaving and stared at Old Zhao, who was the first to stand up and testify on the deck, “As a sea folk, you’re biting the hand that feeds you. Very well, the Raging Whale Gang will remember you, and you better take care!”

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

This was just an ordinary fit of displaced anger.

But Jiang Wang said in a clearer and louder voice, “I’ll remember you too! I’ll remember your face, remember that you’re the Hall Master of the Raging Whale Gang. Your name is Li. This Uncle Zhao is my friend, you better take good care of him. If anything happens to him in the future, regardless of whether it’s related to you or not…”

Jiang Wang took a step forward, his sword aura soaring into the sky, “I will kill you!”

What was a Divine Power Inner Mansion?

It could fight even an Outer Building powerhouse. At the very least, Jiang Wang possessed the strength of someone at the Raging Whale Gang Leader’s level, which was beyond compare with an ordinary Inner Mansion cultivator on this small island.

Forced by the sudden burst of violent killing intent, Li Daorong retreated a large step uncontrollably!

He almost lost his footing in the air and fell into the sea.

He no longer cared about face or momentum, and flew away in disgrace without saying a word.

The male cultivator who had reprimanded Jiang Wang earlier had already tucked his tail between his legs and didn’t utter a word. Seeing Li Daorong leave, he hurriedly followed.

However, the female cultivator looked back at Jiang Wang several times.

Watching Jiang Wang force Li Daorong to retreat with just a few words, Fan Qingqing smiled, “Guests from afar, it’s rare for this little brother to come to Xia Island, why not come to my Five Immortals Sect for a visit?”

She had arrived late and didn’t know Jiang Wang’s true identity. But from Li Daorong’s posture, it wasn’t difficult to judge that Jiang Wang must be some important figure from Linzi.

Especially since the other party was in such a stalemate with the Raging Whale Gang.

As an elder of the Five Immortals Sect, if she didn’t know how to win him over, she would be too derelict in her duty.

Jiang Wang laughed freely, without any pretense, “Then Jiang will be bothering you.”

He wanted to learn more about the Five Immortals Sect. Including the word “Immortal,” and the person behind it.
