After killing the Ravenblade Sage, the Immemorial Sage breathed a sigh of relief and yelled to the skies, “Qian Yin, I've finally avenged you!”

Chu Kuangren stood aside and watched while silently putting the Soul Retriever away.

“Brother Chu, thank you very much for your a.s.sistance.” After venting her emotions, the Immemorial Sage walked to Chu Kuangren and bowed to him.

“I'm glad to help.”

Chu Kuangren replied and showed some curiosity. “I just wonder, fellow Daoist Sister, what did that Sage do to make you hate him so much?”

“It's a long story.” The Immemorial Sage let out a bitter smile.

She then told Chu Kuangren what happened in brief.

It turned out that the Immemorial Sage had a younger sister, who used to journey all over the world and during then met the then Ravenblade Sage who was also doing the same.

The two of them got to know each other better after they met and eventually fell in love. Despite the School of White Lotus's opposition, the Immemorial Sage's younger sister ignored them and was determined to live with the Ravenblade Sage in the Outer Seas, to which she became the Ravengale Island's Chieftainess.

As time went by, the Ravenblade Sage started to change.

To ensure that he could complete the ascension trial and become a Sage, the Ravenblade Sage sacrificed his beloved to a terrifying being known as the Serpent Deity in the Outer Seas.

The Immemorial Sage was overcome with grief and rage upon learning about what happened. She tried going to Ravengale Island in the past, but because of her limited strength, she could not take revenge for her younger sister.

“For all these years, if it were not for my duty of guarding the School of White Lotus, I would've dragged that sc.u.m down into the pits of h.e.l.l even if I were to join him in the process!”

“I can't believe that I'd meet this person again when exploring this unnamed island and receive Brother Chu's helping hand as well. For that, I am deeply grateful.”

The Immemorial Sage bowed once more.

For a dignified Sage to bow to someone, again and again, it was not hard to tell that she was extremely grateful to Chu Kuangren.

“It's my pleasure to help you, Immemorial Sage. After all, the Black Heaven Sect and School of White Lotus are comrades in arms, and this human sc.u.m deserves to be punished.”

Chu Kuangren took a look at the Ravenblade Sage's corpse and activated the Gluttonous Devouring Technique with a raise of his hand, absorbing it into the Avarice Dimension for further refining.

The Immemorial Sage was delighted to see that.

'Good, now there's nothing left of the Ravenblade Sage.'

“Come to think about it, I'm quite interested in that Serpent Deity you've mentioned earlier. Daoist Sister Immemorial, do you happen to know what kind of being it is?” Chu Kuangren asked.

The Immemorial Sage shook her head. “The origin of that Serpent Deity is unknown, but I do know that it's extremely terrifying. It's a Deity that's wors.h.i.+pped by the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, and they'll offer large sacrifices every once in a while.”

“So even the Sages there have to pledge allegiance to it?”

“Yes.”

The Immemorial Sage nodded.

“Seems like it is a terrifying being indeed.” Said Chu Kuangren pondered for a bit before he temporarily put that matter aside.

Boom!

At that moment, the whole island suddenly shook.

Waves of rippled could be seen in the air some distance away as an immeasurably dense surge of Emperor Aura instantly engulfed the entire island!

That surge of Emperor Aura was far stronger than the ones before.

Chu Kuangren's eyes slightly moved as he gazed into the distance.

“Boundary Emperor corpse, located three kilometers south…”

“Incomplete Emperor corpse, located three kilometers south…”

“Damaged Emperor Weapon, located three kilometers south…”

The Treasure Locating Skill displayed the information.

He could now accurately sense those few items' auras.

“The mechanism that was concealing those items has finally disappeared.” A glint of surprise flashed across in Chu Kuangren's eyes before he darted towards the center of that island.

The Immemorial Sage followed suit as well.

At the center of the unnamed island.

A single cottage had suddenly appeared there, and that was where the incomparably dense Emperor Aura emanated from.

The Sages on the island rushed to that area upon sensing that aura.

In a short while, Sages had surrounded thirty meters beyond that cottage. However, no one dared to simply step foot within that thirty meters from the cottage.

It was as if the thirty meters distance between them and the cottage was a forbidden area.

“Since this island appeared in the Outer Seas and not the Four Domains, the items inside that cottage naturally belongs to us Sages from the Outer Seas”

At that time, a Sage from the Outer Seas spoke.

The other Outer Seas' Sages agreed to that too.

“That's right, Sage Liu has a point.”

“Logically speaking, this unnamed island belongs to the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, not to mention the things inside that cottage. The fact that we're allowing you Sages from the Four Domains to come and explore it is already the kindest gesture we can offer.”

“That's right, so please leave now.”

The Sages from the Outer Seas began to dismiss the Sages from the Four Domains.

The Sages from the Four Domains were not happy.

“Aren't you Outer Seas' Sages a little too unreasonable? This unnamed island has no owner, so what makes you think that it belongs to you? Is it just because it appeared on the Outer Seas? That's hilarious.”

The Black Heaven's Second Forefather snorted coldly.

The other Four Domains' Sages also voiced their support.

“The Black Heaven's Second Forefather is right. Based on that logic, it means that the whole Scarlet Phoenix Domain belongs to me because I live there.”

“That's right. Don't you think before you speak? What you said earlier is simply preposterous.”

A heated quarrel broke out between the Sages from the Four Domains and Outer Seas.

However, it was obvious that the Four Domains' Sages were at a disadvantage. After all, they were currently at the Outer Seas and the territory of the Outer Seas Sages.

When the unnamed island appeared, the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands were the fastest to notice it. Hence, their Sages made up most of the numbers among everyone who was currently on the island, numbering around thirty and above.

On the other hand, the Sages from the Four Domains were much less. Although they could sense the unnamed island, there were less than twenty of them who managed to get to the island.

“Hmph, let's cut to the chase. Because this cottage belongs to the Outer Seas, you guys from the Four Domains are not allowed to interfere. Don't blame us for taking action otherwise.”

A Sage from the Outer Seas snorted coldly.

He was the leading Sage amongst the others and having reached the level of a Great Sage, he was the one with the highest cultivation level on the scene.

The Four Domains' Sages were extremely dissatisfied with what he said. Some of the short-tempered ones were so enraged that they rolled up their sleeves to prepare for battle. However, they were stopped by some of the more rational-minded Sages.

Since the Outer Seas' Sages outnumbered them, the situation did not look good for the Four Domains' Sages if a battle were to happen.

“D*mn it, are we just going to stand and watch as those Outer Seas' Sages do whatever they want?” a Sage uttered in dissatisfaction.

“Everyone, it's time for you to leave now.”

The Outer Seas' leading Sage replied.

“Do you really want to go there, Eversodden Sage?”

The Black Heaven's Second Forefather said in a chilling tone.

“So what if I do!” The Eversodden Sage snorted. “If all of you don't leave, then don't blame us for making you leave by force!”

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly turned incredibly tense.

One by one, the Outer Seas' Sages stood behind the Eversodden Sage while they glared at the Sages from the Four Domains.

It was as if anyone could attack at any time.

“Oh, I'm curious to see who has the guts to make us leave!”

At that moment, an impartial voice rang in everyone's ears.

A man and woman were walking forward from behind the Four Domains' Sages. The young man walking in front was the one who spoke just now.

“It's the School of White Lotus's Immemorial Sage and… Chu Kuangren!”

“He's here!”

The Sages of the Four Domains looked at the approaching figure with gleaming eyes.

As Chu Kuangren walked into the crowd, the Sages around him all stepped back to give way for him.

“Greetings, Second Forefather, Third Forefather.” Chu Kuangren came before the Black Heaven's Second and Third Forefather and greeted them with a fist salute.

“You're here, Kuangren.”

The Black Heaven's Second Forefather looked at Chu Kuangren with relief in his eyes.

“Yeah.” Chu Kuangren nodded. Then, he looked to the Outer Seas' Sages and said, “The treasures inside this cottage shall belong to the one who's capable of getting them, and everyone here shall compete against each other fair and square. Let's see who has the guts to force us to leave.”
