Chapter 282 - 277: Entering the Island
The people on West Emperor Island were in a state of panic, with many wanting to leave the island, but now the ports connecting West Emperor Island to the outside world have been blockaded by demons, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to get out.
Even cultivators at the Condensed Core Realm who wanted to leave by air would find it dangerous, as there was now an army of demons stationed outside.
"Young master, the demons have surrounded the island, and now, we cannot return." At the entrance of a courtyard, a cultivator at the Condensed Core Realm spoke to a young man.
Wenren Qiu glanced around, noting that the atmosphere on the island was different from usual, increasingly tense.
"Lord Governor must have already received the news and might come to fetch you," the cultivator at the Condensed Core Realm added.
"The demons surrounding the island this time are likely acting under the orders of a Great Demon, even my father coming wouldn’t help, unless the court sends top-level great cultivators," Wenren Qiu said quietly, not expecting to encounter a storm of this magnitude on his first visit to the West Sea.
At this moment, a commotion erupted around them as many people looked skywards, which made Wenren Qiu reveal a peculiar expression as he too lifted his head to gaze at the sky.
A spectacular sight unfolded in the distance: a figure soared through the air, sword in hand, with an ancient sword on his back, his white robe fluttering gracefully. What truly caught people’s attention was the fact that in his left hand, he was carrying an almost dead evil flood dragon, its blood dripping down from the sky.
"What a graceful sword cultivator," Wenren Qiu praised.
"A Sword Cultivator at the Mid Stage of the Condensed Core Realm, and that evil flood dragon is also a demon at the Fifth Realms, and probably of the late stage," remarked the cultivator beside Wenren Qiu. "Could this person have entered the island from the outside, and even killed a peak Fifth Realms flood dragon? Such dominance."
"He doesn’t seem too old, yet he already possesses the cultivation of the Mid Stage of the Condensed Core Realm," Wenren Qiu marveled. "He seems to be another descendant of a noble clan, I wonder which Great Sword Cultivator’s disciple he is."
