The top of the burly man's head suddenly opened and a blue Nascent Soul jumped out. The Nascent Soul's face was full of fear. Its body lit up and it was about to escape from the island.
The man in the red robe did not even look at it. He flicked his finger and a fireball suddenly flashed and disappeared in the Void.
Ten miles away from the island, a red line of fire instantly caught up with the blue light.
"Bang!" The Nascent Soul of the man with the code name "Jiao 32" directly exploded, transforming into a ball of light that disappeared without a trace.
The surrounding people were silent. Because they were all wearing masks, they could not see each other's expressions.
Jiao San's eyes swept across the people. There was no threat or warning in his eyes, only indifference, as if he was looking at dead objects.
It was as if the people around him were just a few pieces of Stone, a few trees or some tools in his eyes.
The man in the red robe withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "Now I announce the mission. Go to the Red Moon Island and kill Gongshu Hong, the Island Lord."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone exclaimed softly, "What … it's him?"
"This …"
The others were shocked as well, and they were slightly hesitant.
Han Li, who was under the ox mask, could not help but frown. He had heard Luo Feng mention Gongshu Hong's name before. He was not a simple character.
It was said that Gongshu Hong was a powerful Earth Immortal at the Middle-stage of the Perfected Immortal Realm. He cultivated the Power of Blood, which was very rare under the Law of Water. He was very bloodthirsty and was notorious in the Black Wind Sea Area.
Logically speaking, with how vicious he was, he would definitely have many enemies. However, because he was too powerful and the power of laws he cultivated was too strange, very few people dared to take the initiative to provoke him. Never would they have thought that their target this time would actually be this person.
"Lord Jiao San, as far as I know, the Red Moon Island has always been very mysterious and rarely interacts with other islands. Since a few thousand years ago, the island has been in seclusion all year round. Apart from necessary communication, other cultivators are forbidden from setting foot on the island.
They say that anyone who trespasses on the island will be killed … "Jiao Ba, who was wearing a sheep mask, said hesitantly.
"You don't have to worry about that. The alliance has already sent people to infiltrate this island and have sent back quite a bit of information.
Originally, we could have waited until we had a clear grasp of the situation of the Red Moon Island before taking action. However, half a month ago, the higher-ups of the Union issued a strict order to kill the Red Moon Island Lord, Gongshu Hong. "Jiao San glanced at Jiao Ba and said slowly.
"It is said that the Island Master of the Red Moon Island is second only to the powerful Island Masters of the central island in the entire Black Wind Sea Region. He also has several Loose Celestials under him. His strength is not to be underestimated," Jiao Sixteen, who was wearing a tiger mask, said after pondering for a moment.
Immediately after, another delicate voice rang out. It was the graceful woman wearing the owl mask. She walked forward and said, "You're right.
"Yeah. Besides, as an Earth Immortal, he has the geographical advantage on the Red Moon Island. If we go there rashly, I'm afraid …"
"What a joke!
The so-called Earth Immortals only knew some unorthodox tricks!
This person's insignificant cultivation is only enough for him to do whatever he wants in a small place like the Black Wind Sea Region, "Jiao San snorted coldly.
Han Li looked on coldly from the side. At that moment, he faintly noticed that Jiao Nine and Jiao Ba shrugged their shoulders unnaturally after hearing what Jiao San had said. It seemed that they were displeased with what Jiao San had said.
However, that was all. The two of them did not express any further dissatisfaction.
"I'll say this first. If anyone dares to back out from killing this person, they will have to learn from Jiao Thirty-Two's mistakes," Jiao San warned coldly.
Although their faces were covered by masks, they could not help but look at each other. Through their gazes, they understood what each other was thinking. They could only pray for their own good.
Jiao San did not care about their reactions. He raised his hand and waved it in the air. A red light suddenly lit up the sky.
Within the light, there seemed to be a dragon's roar. A dragon shaped flying boat about twenty to thirty feet long appeared from the light.
The boat was completely red and there was a statue of a dragon's head at the bow of the boat. The boat was surrounded by flowing golden Spiritual Inscriptions and there were patterns of fire clouds engraved on the boat. It looked quite extraordinary.
Jiao San leaped up and landed at the bow of the Spirit Boat. His stiff voice rang out again.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"This is … an Acquired Celestial Artifact. It really is the work of an Exalted Immortal …" Jiao Nine, who was wearing a sheep mask, looked up at the red Spirit Boat and could not help but exclaim in admiration. Then, he leaped up and took the lead.
Everyone flew up one after another. After hearing what Jiao San had said, their expressions changed and they revealed looks of envy.
Most of these people were Scattered Immortals. It was obvious that none of them had a Celestial Artifact. Ever since they had stepped onto the Path of Immortals, they had probably only seen one a few times.
Han Li was also a little surprised. He could not help but look at the flying boat a few more times.
After everyone had boarded the Spirit Boat, Jiao San formed a spell with his hands in front of him and uttered the word "Speed".
The Spirit Boat under him immediately shone with a red light and a large amount of red flames surged out from it. It was like several fire dragons that were fighting to be the first to take off. With a "boom", the Spirit Boat soared into the horizon.
It was so fast that it could be described as being as fast as lightning.
…
A few days later.
In the sky above a blue sea with tumbling waves, a fiery red light flew over and hovered in the air. A fiery red dragon-shaped flying boat was revealed.
There were several figures standing on the flying boat. They all wore strange masks on their heads and looked very strange.
They were the people from the Anicca Alliance who were rushing to Red Moon Island.
At this moment, Han Li was standing on the side of the flying boat and looking at a large island that was a hundred miles away.
Although it was called an island, it was many times larger than Wu Meng Island. It looked like a huge piece of land.
"This is some information about the Red Moon Island. Take a look at it," Jiao San said calmly.
Then, he waved his hand and a few white jade slips flew out of his hand and flew towards Han Li and the others.
After Han Li took the jade slips, he looked at the people beside him and saw that some of them had stuck the jade slips between the eyebrows of the masks.
He did the same thing. Soon, after the jade slip was placed on the mask, some pictures and words immediately appeared in his mind.
After looking at it for a while, Han Li could not help but frown. He realized that the area of the Red Moon Island was much larger than he had expected. It was almost the size of a real continent.
"Master Jiao San, there are six or seven locations marked on the map in the jade slip. They must be places where Island Lord Red Moon might appear. Which one should we go first?" asked the sheep-headed Jiao Jiu.
"In order to confirm his current location as soon as possible, we need to split into three groups. We will sneak in from the east, west, and south of the island. First, we will search one place and then gradually advance to the center of the island until we confirm his true location," Jiao San answered without hesitation.
When Han Li heard this, he was surprised. This arrangement was within his expectations. In reality, he wanted to split into several groups. It would be best if he could search one group by himself. However, this was clearly impossible.
As expected, Jiao San opened his mouth and said,
"Jiao Ba, Jiao Shisan, Jiao Jiao 21, the three of you will form a team. Jiao Ba will lead the team and enter the island from the east. Search the few marked places in the east."
"Yes," the skinny man wearing the ape mask cupped his hands and replied.
The silent man wearing the bear mask and the graceful woman wearing the owl mask nodded at the same time, then silently walked behind the monkey-faced man.
Jiao San looked at the remaining people and said, "Jiao Nine, Jiao Fifteen, Jiao Sixteen, the three of you will form the second team. Jiao Nine will lead the team and you will explore the west side of the island."
"Jiao Jiu will do my best to complete this mission. I won't disappoint Sir Jiao San," the sheep-headed Jiao Jiu said respectfully.
Han Li and the tall man in the tiger mask looked at each other and went behind Jiao Jiu.
Jiao San did not look at Jiao Jiu. Instead, he turned to look at the last person, the guy wearing the eagle mask, and casually said,
"Jiao Twenty-five, follow me to the island from the south."
The man responded with a hoarse voice. He did not say anything else as he stood behind Jiao San.
"Gongshu Hong is proficient in the Law of Blood and is extremely sensitive to auras. Moreover, he has set up some detection restrictions all over the island.
Even though we have the masks given to us by the Alliance to hide our auras, there is a high chance that we will be discovered if we use our Divine Sense recklessly.
Therefore, after we reach the island, do not use your Divine Sense unless absolutely necessary, "Jiao San looked at the crowd and warned them.
"Yes," the crowd replied in unison.
"One last reminder.
If you discover the Island Lord before I do, do not act rashly. Inform me immediately through the mask.
Remember, even though there is a low chance that you will be discovered, do not use it too often. Only use it at a critical moment, "Jiao San warned.
"I will listen to Sir Jiao San's instructions," Jiao Jiu replied respectfully.
Han Li touched the mask on his face. He suddenly remembered that Jiao San had used the mask to communicate with him when he arrived at Hai Banyan Island a few days ago. The mask was indeed mysterious.
"Let's begin!"
After Jiao San gave the order, he waved his hand and kept the fiery red spirit boat.
Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled Jiao Twenty-five in front of him. Two rays of light flashed and they flew towards the east of Red Moon Island.
The bodies of Jiao Ba and the others lit up and they flew away as well.
Jiao Jiu, who was wearing the sheep mask, looked at Han Li and said, "Let's go." Then, he turned into a ray of green light and flew towards the west.
