At the same time, on the high platform of the Black Dragon Sect, Fu Longyue remained composed, surrounded by several high-level members clad in Black Dragon Sect Taoist robes. These high-level members approached Fu Longyue and asked, “Sect Leader, do you have any orders for us?”
Just moments ago, Fu Longyue had contacted them using sound transmission to summon them here.
“You are responsible for the prohibition on Desperate Island and can control the life and death of the geniuses entering the island trials. This time, there are two geniuses we need to pay attention to,” said Fu Longyue calmly.
“Please tell us!” These high-level members understood the hint in Fu Longyue’s words, and they all asked with a smile.
As far as they were concerned, not ‘saving’ talented individuals on the island had been done many times, and they were familiar with it. As long as Fu Longyue gave a command, they would know exactly how to proceed.
Fu Longyue calmly said: “These two people, one named Yang Chen, the other named Qingyin. The former is a genius cultivated by Beishan Main City, and the latter is the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect. Both of them are excellent; you all have used your divine soul detection to inspect this place, so you should know the appearances of these two.”
“It’s them!”
“Sect Leader, targeting two at once might be a bit obvious,” someone reminded.
Fu Longyue rubbed his eyebrows: “You’re right, targeting two at once would be too obvious. It would easily arouse the suspicions of these forces. We wouldn’t fear them if they fight singly, but if they join together, that would be troublesome. In that case…”
Fu Longyue fell into deep thought.
After this brief contemplation, he quickly made a decision: “In that case, let’s not touch this girl Qingyin for now. She was cultivated by the Green Lotus Sect, which is always a major threat to our Black Dragon Sect. Instead, let’s focus on Beishan Main City, which barely has a reputation yet now wants to rise to prominence. Heh, they think it would be that easy? They can rise to prominence without me stopping them, but if they want to outshine the Black Dragon Sect in one go, they’re courting death!”
“Sect Leader, what do you mean…” The high-level members of the Black Dragon Sect looked at each other in confusion.
“It’s simple. Although this kid is powerful, I don’t believe he can make it to the Eighth Island in one go. As such, when he begs for mercy and wants to leave Desperate Island… we can simply ignore him!”
Fu Longyue said this with a smirk: “What kind of big waves could a mere Beishan Main City make?”
“Sect Leader, we understand. You can simply wait for the good news of this kid named Yang Chen dying on Desperate Island…” The high-level members gradually laughed and were ready to kill Yang Chen on Desperate Island.
The people in Beishan Main City had no idea about this, nor did Yang Chen.
At this moment, as the talented Lin Shu entered Desperate Island, the banquet was also reporting the situation on the island.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please look. As usual, Desperate Island is connected to these eight lanterns. When one lantern lights up, it represents that a genius is currently attempting that level on the island,” said Fu Longyue after giving his instructions, smiling at the people below.
Everyone looked up and saw that there were eight suspended lanterns in the high sky.
Seven of them were dim, and only the second one was lit, representing that the talented individual had reached the Second Island.
“Now, it’s Lin Shu, the young friend from Huangsha Main City, attempting Desperate Island. Lin Shu has already reached the Second Island, truly a young hero,” Fu Longyue used divine soul detection and contacted Lady Silver Bell in the distance, learning who was attempting the trials now.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, another double-hour had passed.
After this double-hour, Lin Shu had reached the Third Island.
This delighted the high-level members of Huangsha City: “Lin Shu is truly deserving of being our number one genius in Huangsha Main City. He has reached the third level, and it seems the fourth should be no problem.”
Just as this thought crossed their minds, suddenly, the light representing the third level went out.
“What’s going on!” The high-level members of Huangsha City urgently asked.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is because young friend Lin Shu has given up,” Fu Longyue explained peacefully.
“This!” The high-level members of Huangsha City were visibly frustrated.
They had been proud that their genius might be able to reach the Fourth Island, but in the blink of an eye, their talent had given up. Who wouldn’t be upset?
At this moment, Yang Chen and the other talents were in the same team. After Lin Shu failed the challenge and came out of the teleportation array, his expression was somewhat disheartened.
However, Yang Chen’s focus was not on Lin Shu but on Qingyin.
Qingyin and the Blue Lotus Sect Master…
He wanted to see Qingyin’s expression, but found that her expression was normal, unchanged. This puzzled Yang Chen as he eventually had to give up on asking any further. Since he was already prepared not to know, why bother trying to investigate any further?
In an instant, after Lin Shu came out, Lady Silver Bell sent in the second genius.
Then the third, fourth, fifth…
These talents’ highest achievements on Desperate Island were only at the Fifth Island.
The Fifth Island was like a watershed; all these talents made their move but were stuck at the Fifth Island.
That is until the Black Dragon Sect’s genius, Zhao Minghai, stepped up!
As soon as Zhao Minghai took action, it was immediately apparent that he was different from the other geniuses, attracting the attention of everyone present. Then, one by one, the lights representing the islands went out and others lit up!
“Zhao Minghai has already reached the Fifth Island! I wonder if he can make it to the Sixth Island and break the current record!”
“The Black Dragon Sect’s genius is, after all, the Black Dragon Sect’s genius. This Zhao Minghai is extraordinary, making it to the Sixth Island, unbelievable!”
Seeing their genius perform so well, Fu Longyue felt joyful and couldn’t help but boast: “This Desperate Island tests one’s agility, calmness, and understanding of cultivation methods. It’s the only way to survive for a long time. It seems Minghai understands this quite well.”
He deliberately emphasized the words “agility” and “calmness.” While it seemed like he was merely praising Zhao Minghai, the actual purpose was to tell the high-level members of other forces that their Black Dragon Sect’s genius was superior to theirs.
