Chapter 564: Arriving at the Golden Sack Island
Li Xuanfeng was alone, armored and cloaked, standing on a golden flying shuttle as he sped through the surging dark waves.
Taking advantage of the brewing sea storm, he found an excuse to silently leave the market at Splitreed Island. Riding the wind through thunder and rain, he headed eastward, traveling thousands of li along the water veins until he arrived at the Scarlet Pristine Sea.
Though the Eastern Sea's weather was famously unpredictable, with sudden shifts from clear to stormy skies, such a fierce thunderstorm was rare. The night was pitch-black, cloaked under heavy, boundless clouds. The Scarlet Pristine Sea had turned a dark green—nearly black, seeming to be merging seamlessly with the horizon's darkness.
Li Xuanfeng suppressed the golden light of his shuttle, advancing noiselessly through the wind. Torrential rain struck his Black Gold Spirit Armor, shattering into mist upon contact with his protective aura which enveloped him like a shield.
In the distance, Golden Sack Island soon appeared on the horizon. Li Xuanfeng quietly pulled back, stopping a few li away. Reaching into his storage pouch, he retrieved a jade box.
Although he was confident the monk would take the bait, Li Xuanfeng was not one to act recklessly. Estimating a distance of about a hundred li from Golden Sack Island, he took the figurine from the jade box, casually brushing it along the island's perimeter before placing it back in the box. He then landed on a nearby island to observe Golden Sack Island's response.
