"Wow, look at that gorgeous sunrise!"

A shout startled everyone from their sleep and cultivation.

In the east, a round sun rose.

Almost instantly, myriad golden rays spread over the sea, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Lo Huasheng and others at the Kong Chan Institute were evidently captivated by the majestic view, sitting cross-legged together with the Hunyuan Iron Rod placed in front of them, hands clasped in prayer, softly chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Ye Guichen also stretched lazily, squinting towards the east.

Such holy beauty bestowed by nature is unseen on land.

After a night's rest, everyone had regained their strength, and the previous distress and melancholy vanished entirely.

Each person seemed to have been reborn, brimming with vigor, determined not to stop until Caesar was killed.

While everyone was devoutly admiring the red sun, a small island faintly appeared in the distance.

Lu Bu exclaimed, "Brothers, that's the island!"

Everyone followed Lu Bu's pointing finger and indeed saw an island, through the midst of the golden rays, emerging in their view like shrouded in mist.

It seemed dreamlike, like an Immortal Realm.

"Could it be the island we're looking for?"

"So beautiful, like Immortal Island itself!"

"Caesar sure knows how to pick a place, finding such a stunning island."

Everyone stood up, gazing towards the distant island.

Everyone present was a Martial Arts Master, with remarkable eyesight, able to see the island even a dozen kilometers away.

Ye Guichen was unsure if there were any ambushes ahead, but felt that someone like Caesar would definitely not let them get on the island easily. He was about to order the giant shark to stop and then land in batches, but the initially steady giant shark suddenly seemed to be stabbed by something, letting out a piercing scream, convulsing violently, and rolling rapidly.

Some reacted too late and fell from the shark's back into the sea.

The scene turned chaotic instantly.

"Captain Ye, what's going on?" Lu Bu furrowed his brows, looking at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen also couldn't pinpoint the issue, preparing to answer when someone shouted loudly, "It's bad, there's blood everywhere!"

The voice came from the sea surface, precisely from the fallen one.

Everyone looked towards the sea surface, and indeed saw rolling blood.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Ye Guichen ordered, "Everyone stay calm. We're already close to the island, if necessary, we can swim there. But before this shark gets out of control, try not to leave. I'll go down and check!"

Saying this, he dived into the sea.

As soon as he entered the sea, Ye Guichen felt a strong scent of blood rushing towards him.

Upon looking around, Ye Guichen quickly found the source of the blood, which was surprisingly the shark's abdomen.

Unknownly, a huge gash had been sliced open there, nearly ten meters long, almost cutting the shark's abdomen completely.

The shark's intestines were also spilling out.

But seemingly due to Ye Guichen's rune control, the shark, besides swaying violently in pain, did not go mad and throw Ye Guichen and others off.

Ye Guichen's brow furrowed.

The opponent unexpectedly injured the shark silently to such an extent without him noticing.

Knowing the shark probably wouldn't live long, Ye Guichen felt pity, quickly surfacing, "Everyone find a way to get closer to the distant island, we'll deal with other issues later!"

Ye Guichen felt a looming danger all around.

For them, even if the island was fraught with danger, it wouldn't be as perilous as the sea.

After all, once their feet touch the ground, their martial prowess would be fully unleashed, not like a drowning person with no means to fight back.

"What's happening?"

"Captain Ye, are there any enemies?"

Someone asked.

Ye Guichen didn't know how to explain, but still shouted, "Quickly! Everyone do what you can to get to the island!"

Saying this, he jumped back onto the shark, grabbing Murong, "You're with me, others, however you can, just get to shore first!"

Ye Guichen dared not linger, wrapped Murong's waist around his arm, diving into the water and swimming rapidly towards the shore, matching the speed of a fish.

Feeling Ye Guichen's embrace, Murong's face inexplicably flushed.

Growing up, this was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man.

However, Murong never expected this contact to be in such a manner, in such a place.

The people of Dragon Teeth now had complete trust in Ye Guichen. Seeing his serious expression, they did not dare delay, quickly diving into the water to follow Ye Guichen.

Lo Huasheng and Lu Bu hesitated slightly but also ordered to dive.

Plop plop plop!

Sounds of bodies hitting the water continued.

Just as everyone left the shark about ten meters, the shark let out a painful howl, rolling and diving into the water.

A few seconds later, a violent explosion sounded.

Shark meat flew everywhere, with much of it erupting from the sea, staining the entire area red in an instant.

Some elites who were still close to the shark were killed by the massive explosion wave on the spot.

Others were knocked unconscious.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Ye Guichen turned to look, feeling a wave of fear.

He had only seen the shark's belly was slashed open earlier, not expecting that someone had placed explosives inside it — how vicious!

Without stopping his movement, his speed increased.

The dozen kilometers' distance took only a few minutes with Ye Guichen's rapid swimming.

When Ye Guichen finally reached the shore, just coming out and looking towards the shore, his face changed again.

Seeing a dozen people standing on the shore.

There were white people, yellow people, and black people.

None showed any signs of cultivation, but when they saw Ye Guichen appear, all their faces sported mocking expressions, as if waiting for Ye Guichen to step into their trap.

Among them, a white woman dressed in leather, her graceful figure fully displayed.

She stepped forward, squinting at Ye Guichen and Murong, casually speaking fluent Hua Country language: "We didn't expect that you could really find this place. Hehe, Caesar has already said, whoever can reach here will become our best slaves. We thought you might disappoint us. Now it seems, as Caesar said, once successful, you'll be our best slaves."

Her gaze contemptuous, disregarding.

As if Ye Guichen and others were mere fish on the board, waiting to be slaughtered.

In the following ten minutes.

No one moved.

Soon, Lo Huasheng and others came ashore one after another.
