Swish!

”What are you doing, Blue Whale? Stop it.” However, that terrifying presence immediately disappeared. An elder with two crystal-clear whiskers on his lips reacted swiftly, blocking Blue Whale’s domineering and terrifying aura.

Seeing this, Blue Whale, with his extraordinarily wide cheeks, halted his momentum and shook his head, saying, ”These kids talk too recklessly. Giving them a lesson might be good.”

Given his status and tier, even if he was injured or poisoned, how many people in the North Side Area of Eagle Gorge would dare to shout at him like they just did?

”Blue Whale, if you keep this up, I’m going to be angry. We agreed that you’d tone down your bad temper today. If you keep doing this, what if people don’t want to help us?” Cang Kun, the elder with the crystal-clear whiskers on his lips, spoke with a somewhat stern face and a reproachful tone.

He knew his old friend’s temper was so explosive now not for any other reason, but simply because he had contracted an incurable poison, leading to unease and rashness. But despite understanding this, this attitude was not the way to ask for help.

After all, they were here today to seek aid. Was this any way to ask for help? If someone approached them like this, it would be remarkable if they didn’t become hostile. How could they possibly help?

”Help? They also need the ability to help...” Blue Whale muttered a few more words but fell silent upon meeting his old friend’s somewhat displeased gaze, his voice weakening.

Seeing this, Cang Kun sighed lightly in his heart, shook his head, and then looked at the cultivators of Enlightened Deity Cave, those at the seventh layer of Qi Refining, who were trembling with fear, drenched in cold sweat, and sitting limp on the ground, gasping heavily. He forced a smile on his face and apologized: ”I apologize on behalf of this old fool. He’s too impulsive.”

”No, no need, no need! Elder, may I ask who you are?”

The cultivator of Enlightened Deity Cave at the seventh layer of Qi Refining was in no position to accept an apology from someone like Cang Kun, hastily shaking his pale face. After speaking, his pupils trembled as he looked at Blue Whale and Cang Kun, overwhelmed with fear.

Because he had just heard it—Cang, Cang Kun, Blue Whale!? Hiss, could it be...?

”I am Cang Kun, and this is my friend Blue Whale. We come from Canglan Island and have ventured here to pay respects to your newly appointed Cave Master of Enlightened Deity Cave. Could you possibly convey our visit?”

Upon hearing this, Cang Kun finally spoke with a slightly even tone, as a faint aura emanated from within him, and then he continued to speak calmly.

”Island Master Cang Kun, Island Master Blue Whale!?”

The cultivator of Enlightened Deity Cave at the seventh layer of Qi Refining was dumbfounded, his expression visibly paling, pupils contracting intensely, and then an incredulous shock exploded uncontrollably! The people behind him shared the same reaction, utterly stunned.

Who are Cang Kun and Blue Whale? Mentioning the two names might not immediately trigger recognition, but add ”Island Master of Canglan Island” as a suffix, and who within hundreds of miles, even in the entire North Side Area of Eagle Gorge, could feign ignorance!?

Cang Kun and Blue Whale—one is the Grand Island Master of Canglan Island, the other the Second Island Master, and they both possess power at the peak of Second Level Late Stage Beast, just one step away from the tier of Third-Level Demonic Beast akin to Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, far surpassing figures like Red Lion Daoist!

It’s like comparing a millionaire worth five million to one worth nine hundred and ninety-nine million—the disparity is evident, completely different levels.

Even Blackwind, the current Sect Master of Cloud Dragon Mountain, dare not act presumptuously before them. Why? Simply put, Blue Whale once pursued him relentlessly, leaving him no escape.

Eventually, had Yu Tan Taoist, the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert from Cloud Dragon Mountain, not intervened personally to protect Blackwind, there’s uncertainty over whether he would still be alive today.

In other words, Blue Whale’s combat power is undoubtedly intimidating even before Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts; his authority isn’t negligible. Otherwise, how could that incident have passed without consequence?

Now, such terrifying figures—Cang Kun and Blue Whale, the two island masters of Canglan Island—have personally arrived at their Enlightened Deity Cave. How could they not be shocked, shaken, and frightened!?

”Please, the two Island Masters, come inside. Our Cave Master is not currently in the cave, but the Eight Great Iron Guards have just emerged from seclusion. They are our second-in-command after the Cave Master. If the two Island Masters don’t mind, I’ll notify them immediately to welcome you personally.”

Then, the cultivator of Enlightened Deity Cave at the seventh layer of Qi Refining managed to speak hesitantly, forcing himself to calm down and avoid incoherence, though his tone remained nervously trembling. He hadn’t foreseen a scene like this in his lifetime.

Indeed, Cang Kun and Blue Whale from Canglan Island! Figures at the peak realm of Second Level Beast, invincible under Foundation Establishment True Person Realm.

”Alright, no need to trouble yourselves. We’ll just go in with you. I know your Cave Master went to attend Red Lion Daoist’s birthday banquet, should be returning soon. We can wait here for a while,” Cang Kun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator of Enlightened Deity Cave at the seventh layer of Qi Refining finally exhaled a small relieved breath and then, with a rapidly pounding heart and trembling demeanor, managed to lead the smiling and stern-faced Cang Kun and Blue Whale through the gates of Enlightened Deity Cave.

Meanwhile, news of their arrival quickly reached those Eight Great Iron Guards, just out of seclusion, to Iron One and his peers.

”Wh-what!? Island Masters Cang Kun and Blue Whale from Canglan Island, they—they’ve come personally?”

Unsurprisingly, even though the Eight Guards had greatly enhanced their strength post-seclusion, beyond previous levels, they were still instantly terrified by such shocking news, stammering in rigid surprise.

What does it mean for Cang Kun and Blue Whale, the Island Masters of Canglan Island, to visit personally?

These figures could command a personal, enthusiastic welcome from the current Lord Palace Master of Purple Flame Palace’s main office. That’s their weight and status. But now?

But now, such significant figures chose to personally visit their Enlightened Deity Cave, especially without their Cave Master Chen Fei present; how could they not panic, not fear?

Indeed, strictly speaking, even with their newfound breakthroughs and drastic changes, they remain far inferior, incomparable to Cang Kun and Blue Whale.

Yet, despite this, with the two already present and their Cave Master Chen Fei absent, they could only brace themselves for what lay ahead.

Soon, the Eight Great Iron Guards were seen hastily arriving at the main hall designed for receiving important guests at Enlightened Deity Cave.

Cang Kun and Blue Whale were already there.
