This figure is naturally Xu Zimei.
Orchid Island has already descended into chaos, most likely because of Gongsun Muya.
He naturally wouldn't wait any longer.
If Gongsun Muya got killed, he'd suffer a great loss.
Although this possibility is small, Xu Zimei still hopes it won't happen.
Seeing Xu Zimei heading towards Orchid Island, Qingyan Loose Man reminded him: "Orchid Island is now sealed off—you can't get in."
Xu Zimei didn't respond to him.
He walked on the water as if it were solid ground, with profound mysteries surging beneath his steps.
He appeared slow, yet had the feeling of traveling a thousand miles with each step.
Qingyan Loose Man exchanged glances with the other two.
Seeming to ask if anyone recognized Xu Zimei.
Who knew, both shook their heads.
"Let's keep watching; could this person be with Gongsun Muya?" laughed Painted Skin Beauty.
"Who knows, anyway, we're just spectators," Yellow Rat Taoist said with a sneer.
He watched Xu Zimei's departing figure, only hoping for more chaos.
After all, for the onlookers, excitement is everything.
......
After just a few steps, Xu Zimei disappeared from everyone's sight.
Orchid Island was just within reach.
From the outside looking in, Orchid Island was indeed extraordinary.
The island blossomed magnificently, with an elliptical center surrounded by countless dense petals.
Above Orchid Island, orchids bloomed, and even from miles away, their fragrance wafted through the air.
Orchids are traditionally poetic symbols for ancient poets, a wonderful muse for writing.
But when Xu Zimei arrived at Orchid Island, he found the perimeter already sealed.
In short, the three main forces were in the island's center, at the core of the flower.
And the surrounding petals were occupied by smaller forces allied under the three major powers.
They were posted on the outermost layer, ensuring no one could get in.
The petal Xu Zimei faced was guarded by the Shichahai Demon Monster Gate.
This force had a long name.
Shichahai Demon Monster Gate was a gathering place for demons and monsters.
Once, the Demon Monster Gate was also a major faction, but later it gradually declined and to preserve power, had to merge into the Spirit Beast Gate.
It became a subsidiary second-rate force under the Spirit Beast Gate.
These demons are neither completely human nor completely monster, resembling corrupted humanoid existences.
They are entirely pitch-black, covered with long black fur.
......
The Master of the Shichahai Demon Monster Gate was a great demon named Shi Ji.
It was said he could devour everything, usually preying on humans, having created countless human-based dishes.
He was rumored to eat ten people a day, at the very least.
Shi Ji was currently in a tent.
The duty of guarding naturally fell to his subordinates.
There was no way he'd do it personally.
Inside the tent, dozens of people were bound tightly, seemingly awaiting their fate.
Shi Ji was about to relish a feast when suddenly he heard the sounds of frantic footsteps.
And cries for help.
"Master, something's wrong, something's wrong."
His protector ran in panic, kneeling directly on the ground.
"What's up, is the sky falling?" Shi Ji snorted coldly.
Disturbing his meal, Shi Ji expressed displeasure.
In his anger, corroded black qi emerged from him.
His protector was also trembling with fear.
This Shi Ji was not only ruthless towards outsiders but also strict with his own.
It was said that he once had many guards, but they were all eaten by Shi Ji in disdain, one by one.
The protector knew fear.
Quickly reporting: "Master, someone's attacking, our people can't hold them off."
"Who?" Shi Ji asked, nonchalant.
"From what I've heard, Gongsun Muya has infiltrated internally, shouldn't be attacking from outside.
Could his allies be trying to rescue him?"
"I don't know, seems like a human, very strong," replied the protector hurriedly.
"What about the elders?" Shi Ji asked.
"The Elder Gate couldn't withstand even one move from him and was defeated with a single strike," the protector replied fearfully.
"Useless, a bunch of waste, now I have to personally intervene," Shi Ji coldly snorted.
He stood up, shattering the chair beneath him.
"Take me to meet him."
"No need, I've already arrived," a voice sounded.
The tent flap was slowly lifted by a blade.
A figure walked in.
This visitor was naturally Xu Zimei.
......
As he entered Orchid Island, he was surrounded by these demons of the Demon Monster Gate.
They didn't hesitate, immediately wanting to eat Xu Zimei.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zimei, with just a blade, walked right in, and every demon he encountered on the way couldn't withstand his single strike.
Upon reaching this tent, Xu Zimei finally felt some intrigue.
The Master of the Demon Monster Gate, Shi Ji's power might not be high, yet gave Xu Zimei a sense of danger.
This sensation was puzzling.
Clearly not strong, why the sense of danger?
So at this moment, he walked in.
Seeing Xu Zimei, Shi Ji burst into laughter, "You've got some nerve, killing so many of my Demon Monster Gate—no thoughts of fleeing, but instead came seeking."
"Youngsters are full of spirit, intending to kill me as well, eh?"
As he spoke, Shi Ji's face changed, snorting coldly.
"I see you underestimate your opponent; today I shall slay you here."
Just after his words fell, Shi Ji's figure sped fast as light, clawing at Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei's response was equally quick, directly slashing with his blade.
Then came the sound of a scream.
The blade sliced off half of Shi Ji's arm.
Shi Ji clutched his arm, the surrounding black qi growing denser.
His eyes were blood-red, as if ready to kill, the demonic qi bursting the tent open.
Shi Ji was not one to yield; instead, he launched another attack.
But Xu Zimei was too impatient to waste time with him, quickly following up with a series of consecutive slashes.
Slashing off Shi Ji's arms and legs.
The opponent collapsed to the ground, like a pile of useless mud.
Speaking of Shi Ji's strength, honestly, within the Shichahai Demon Monster Gate, he might still be quite formidable.
But it depends on what standard you're comparing against.
If truly powerful, how could he submit to the Spirit Beast Gate?
Still, Xu Zimei couldn't quite understand why such weaklings made him feel danger.
Now he looked at the lump-like Shi Ji.
The opponent merely gazed at him with resentment.
"You deserve death, deserve death!"
The voice was chilling, aiming at Xu Zimei, as if to freeze his very soul.
Suddenly, Xu Zimei saw Shi Ji's body transform.
A dried-up branch suddenly drilled out from Shi Ji's body, without any hesitation, directly piercing at Xu Zimei.
The branch was incredibly fast, practically unavoidable for an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Xu Zimei wasn't ordinary.
