NOVEL WEB Chapter 154.1
Hongdao Island was an isolated island in the South China Sea. The island occupied a small area but was surrounded by mountains. The Hehuan Sect hollowed out the mountains and established the evil sect’s base in them. Not only was the location secret, but it was also covered by the islanders who made a living by fishing.
There was only one small fishing village on the entire Hongdao Island. The houses in the village were all built of wood and were very simple. The population was less than a hundred, and most of them were men. If there was a household that kept its doors and windows closed all year round, it was a household with a daughter and shuanger.
At that time, the fishermen on the island were working hard to dry their fishing nets while checking for any damage, so they could repair them in time to prepare for the next fishing trip.
What was supposed to be a busy and peaceful morning was completely ruined by the words spoken by a few fishermen.
One of them, a man with tanned skin and a thin body, secretly glanced at the mountains behind him, with a look of covetousness on his face, and said, “We have agreed, this time it is my turn to be the first one. Tonight, you are not allowed to cheat.”
“I got it. Anyway, you are quick, so we don’t have to wait too long,” the man with a rough voice replied, and several people around him laughed loudly, making the skinny man blush with laughter.
A group of people further away from them just worked hard with numb expressions on their faces, as if they had not heard the conversation.
The big man with a rough voice saw this and spat, cursing, “Look at you useless cowards. You deserve to be unable to even touch a woman’s hand for the rest of your life.”
“Don’t mind them, it’s better if they don’t like it. There will be fewer people to rob us,” someone around him said with a smile.
“Bah, they just make me so mad and annoyed.”
“There is nothing on our island, and there are not many wives. If only the women who came out of there were not nearly dead, it would be great to leave one as a wife.”
“That won’t work either. If anyone knows what’s going on here, we’ll be in trouble.”
“You haven’t noticed what those people are capable of. They fly into the sky and escape from the earth. Even if they are discovered by others, they won’t care about us.”
“I’m just afraid that those immortals will find out. If they are lured to the island, we won’t have anywhere to run.”
“Even if there were immortals, they wouldn’t be able to control us. It’s a pity that I don’t have that kind of spiritual root. Otherwise, I could be as powerful as them, so I wouldn’t have to live a miserable life on this broken island.”
“Since you don’t have spiritual roots, I think you should find a way to get more money and buy a wife as soon as possible.”

Li Tianyan led his team and landed on the coast of the South China Sea, which was some distance away from Hongdao Island. When they arrived, they did not disturb the people on the island.
After arriving, Li Tianyan asked others to meditate on the spot, and he sat on the crown of a tree, holding the magic mirror without moving for a long time.
According to Li Tianyan’s wishes, Ji Hexuan and the other two cultivators recruited into the team were all decent people who didn’t talk much. At that time, seeing Li Tianyan staying in the South China Sea, although they were puzzled, no one raised any questions.
Not to mention the disciples who participated in the Five Regions Competition; these people had long become Li Tianyan’s die-hard fans and would not refute his decision.
However, everyone was still curious and didn’t know what Li Tianyan planned to do this time, so someone quietly sent a message to Huo Xing, who was more talkative, “Senior Brother Huo, do you know what Senior Brother Li has planned?”
“Senior Brother Huo, should we go in directly or let the evil cultivators in the cave come out?”
“I don’t know, let’s listen to what Senior Brother Li has to say,” Huo Xing shook his head. In fact, he always felt that Li Tianyan could destroy the Hehuan Sect alone.
Huo Xing’s premonition was quite correct. Li Tianyan took them together this time entirely because of the sect’s arrangement to bring this group of new foundation-establishment disciples.
“How is it young master?” Cheng Qi laid on Li Tianyan’s arm and looked at the magic mirror in his hand.
Cheng Qi knew that Li Tianyan stayed there just to find out whether the fishermen on the island were innocent. The magic mirror reflected several fishermen drying their nets, which looked quite peaceful.
“Do you understand what they are saying?” Li Tianyan pointed to the group of people on the right side of the magic mirror and asked Cheng Qi.
“Ah?” Cheng Qi looked at him puzzled. “How could I understand without hearing it?”
The lips of the fishermen in the mirror were moving, as if they were chatting happily, but the magic eye could only see the picture, not hear what they said.
Seeing that Cheng Qi couldn’t read lips, Li Tianyan repeated the content of the fishermen’s conversation. Cheng Qi couldn’t help but gasp after hearing this. He didn’t expect that these people were actually accomplices of the Hehuan Sect’s evil cultivators.
“Young master, when shall we take action?” Cheng Qi asked eagerly.
“Wait for another hour,” Li Tianyan replied. He always felt that the Shura Sect and its cronies would not be so quiet. To be on the safe side, it was better to explore the situation in the cave first to avoid falling into a trap set by the evil sect.
While he was talking, Li Tianyan had already controlled his spiritual eye and penetrated through the ventilation hole near the mountain gate to see what was going on inside.
The evil sect’s cave was spacious and dark, and a group of low-strength Hehuan Sect disciples lived outside, responsible for the chores in the Hehuan Sect. As the spiritual eye gradually penetrated deeper, they saw more and more evil cultivators.
