Chapter 528 Investigation Team Lands on the Island

Eight extremely powerful spiritual light pillars and eight spiritual arrows shot from the Sun-Destroying Divine Crossbow caused fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even shook the Sea Hunter Divine Ship and the four Dark Cloud Warships to retreat dozens of feet.

However, such a violent attack encountered the same situation when it was about to land on the Crocodile Island.

A group of chaotic spiritual energy in the shape of Bagua, after a flash of soft light, condensed out of thin air, and happened to swallow up all the eight spiritual light pillars and eight spiritual arrows, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Finally, after a wave of air fluctuations, it completely disappeared into thin air.

There was still no reaction on the Crocodile Island. After a long while, no one came out to check. Such an attack seemed to have not alarmed the people on the island at all.

Everyone looked at each other, a little at a loss.

"What's going on?"

"That's right, why is there no movement in this formation? Is there no one on the island at all?"

Everyone had all kinds of questions in their hearts, and they didn't know how to deal with this matter.

Ma Ming and the other five people all gathered together to discuss. But after arguing for several hours, they still couldn't argue out the reason, and they were still helpless about this situation.

If they can't even enter the Crocodile Island, how can they investigate what happened on the island? How can they take back the control of the Crocodile Island?

Just when the investigation team was in a dilemma, a flash of light flashed on the Crocodile Island below, and a portal several feet wide appeared out of thin air behind the light. Then, a figure flashed out from the light curtain and appeared in the area between the Crocodile Island and the Sea Hunting Divine Ship.

This person was wearing a black robe and stepped on a black flying sword. He flew towards the Sea Hunting Divine Ship as calmly as water.

"Fellow Daoists, I am sorry for not welcoming you to the Crocodile Island."

When he was still more than 20 feet away from the Sea Hunting Divine Ship, he stopped in the air, smiled calmly, and bowed to the people on the Sea Hunting Divine Ship with different expressions, speaking politely.

"So it's you, little...haha, it's really Wu Lingzhu who controls the Crocodile Island, that's great!" Ghost Shura was the first to come to his senses and laughed.

Ma Ming's face moved, and he said, "Brother Wu, I see that you are more energetic and powerful, and your cultivation seems to be better than four months ago. It's really a cause for celebration! Haha! Brother Wu, I wonder if you set up the forbidden formation on this island?"

"Yes. It was set up by Wu. Haha, why, shouldn't Wu set up the forbidden formation on this island?" Wu Yan's expression was still as indifferent as water, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but he didn't deny the established facts.

"What are you talking about? Hahaha, Brother Wu also signed a treaty with our four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance. If you really have the ability to control this island, you can certainly set up a formation on the island and control it." Ma Ming laughed dryly.

"It's good that City Lord Ma still remembers the treaty. I believe that the elders and fellow Taoists should have received detailed reports from the disciples of their respective sects on the series of changes that happened on Crocodile Jiao Island. The situation on the island is complicated now. If it is not controlled early, it will inevitably be occupied by the sea clan. It will be even more difficult to take it back. Haha, in view of the provisions of the treaty, Wu had no choice but to set up a large formation and select this island as the foothold for participating in the Sea Hunting War. According to the treaty between the Sea Hunting Alliance and the four major sects, this island now belongs to Wu's Sea Hunting Team. Do you have any objections?" Wu Yan put his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering, and his clear voice fell from the air and reached everyone's ears, which immediately made the entire Sea Hunting Divine Ship stagnate and quiet in an instant.

Ma Ming was speechless. Wu Yan's words were well-reasoned. Even if he wanted to refute them, according to the original agreement, Wu Yan's actions did not violate the provisions of the agreement. Strictly speaking, it should be said that he strictly followed the provisions of the agreement.

"Hahaha! Good, good! The young are really formidable. Since Master Wu has taken full control of Crocodile Jiao Island, can you introduce us to land on the island to check the specific situation? More than ten days ago, we sent a message to the human cultivator garrison camp on Crocodile Jiao Island, announcing that an investigation team would be sent to investigate what happened on Crocodile Jiao Island in the past few months. This is a matter that the top leaders of the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance have unanimously decided. Master Wu will not make things difficult for us, right?" The blood-robed old man surnamed Xiao rolled his eyes, suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Wu Yan, and said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, what Master Xiao Hai said makes sense, brother Wu, what do you think?" Ma Ming's face moved slightly, and he immediately smiled and said to Wu Yan.

The other people's expressions also changed slightly, but they didn't say anything more. They all looked at Wu Yan. The investigation team sent by the Sea Hunting Alliance came. If Wu Yan refused them and prevented them from going to the island to investigate, they would definitely not be able to complete the mission. But on the other hand, the responsibility for this matter would also fall on Wu Yan's head. In this way, the Sea Hunting Alliance and the four major sects would have every reason to intervene and take back the control of Crocodile Jiao Island in the name of justice.

Wu Yan'an couldn't hear the meaning behind these people's words. He didn't get angry, just smiled calmly and nodded: "Of course."

Ma Ming and the others were immediately delighted and were about to order everyone to drive the Sea Hunting Divine Boat and the Dark Cloud Battleship to land on the Crocodile Jiao Island. Wu Yan waved his hand gently, glanced at Ma Ming and the others calmly, and said with a smile: "Since the investigation team wants to land on the island to investigate the cause, Wu will naturally not stop it, and will fully cooperate with your investigation. However, I think it is not necessary for everyone to land on the island. After all, there is still a sea demon army of thousands of people on Crocodile Jiao Island, and there are also remnants of the demon cultivators of Crocodile Jiao Island. The Sea Hunting Divine Boat is too big a target, so it is better not to land on Crocodile Jiao Island, so as not to attract the attention of the sea and demon tribes, and it will be bad if the demon beasts self-destruct demon pills and bomb the Sea Hunting Divine Boat again."

Ma Ming and the others frowned immediately, obviously dissatisfied with Wu Yan's words. However, because Crocodile Jiao Island is now controlled by Wu Yan, if everyone wants to complete the task, they must first land on Crocodile Jiao Island, otherwise everything is empty talk. Besides, Wu Yan's words make sense.

"Master Wu, I want to ask you, do you still care about our four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance?" Xuanyuan Jiyu had been observing Wu Yan's every move with a cold eye, and suddenly asked him.

When Wu Yan heard Xuanyuan Jiyu's question, he just glanced at him coldly and said, "Who are you? If Wu doesn't have the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance in his eyes, why would he participate in this Hunting Sea War? Your question is a bit strange."

"You!? How dare you! I am Xuanyuan Jiyu, the great elder of the outer sect of Tiandao Sect. As one of the five elders of the investigation team jointly sent by the Hunting Sea Alliance and the four major sects, I naturally have the power and responsibility to understand everything related to this incident. Wu Yan, if you still have the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance in your heart, how can you be so ignorant of the rules? You should immediately and unconditionally give up the control of Crocodile Jiao Island so that you can cooperate with our investigation team to complete the task. Humph, we are here on behalf of the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance with an important mission, but now you are refusing most of the accompanying investigators we brought with us at the door. What's the reason?" Xuanyuan Jiyu glared at Wu Yan with dissatisfaction and asked with heart-piercing words.

"You talk a lot of nonsense. Don't you just want to enter Crocodile Island? Wu didn't say that you can't come in. But for the sake of the overall situation, Wu still thinks that it's not necessary for everyone to come in." What kind of personality does Wu Yan have? How could he fall for his tricks? He immediately curled his lips and said.

"You... you are so presumptuous!" Xuanyuan Jiyu was furious when he heard Wu Yan's words. Ma Ming and others hurriedly gave him a look. Xuanyuan Jiyu shook his sleeves in dissatisfaction and stared at Wu Yan hatefully. The words he was about to say were held back.

"City Lord Ma, fellow Taoists, how do you think about this? You send a few elders to take two dark cloud warships to the island, and Wu will lead you to patrol the island for a few laps, conduct a field investigation, and then make a plan. How about that?" Wu Yan didn't even bother to look at Xuanyuan Jiyu, and immediately bowed to Ma Ming and said with a smile.

Ma Ming and the others looked at each other for a few times, as if they were silently discussing something with their eyes. After a moment, Ma Ming laughed and said, "Okay, just as Brother Wu suggested, the investigation team will only send two dark cloud warships to enter the Crocodile Dragon Island, and the Sea Hunting Divine Ship and the other two dark cloud warships will be on standby outside. The five elders of our investigation team will go there in person, and the other guardians will stay on the Sea Hunting Divine Ship on standby. Brother Wu, what do you think?"

"This is the best. City Lord Ma, I am listed as an elder, not because I don't know what's good for me. You will understand the specific situation when you get to the Crocodile Dragon Island. I actually have my own difficulties." Wu Yan said with a calm smile.

Immediately, everyone stopped talking nonsense. After Ma Ming explained a few words to the other cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul on the Sea Hunting Divine Ship, he led Xiao Hai, Shi Yan, Xuanyuan Jiyu and Gui Xiuluo, and invited Wu Yan to board one of the dark cloud warships, and led the other dark cloud warship towards the Crocodile Dragon Island.

Wu Yan smiled calmly, standing at the front of the warship, and with a flip of his hand, a formation flag appeared. He swept the formation flag in his hand in the direction of the Crocodile Jiao Island in front, and bursts of soft light flickered from the island. When the light condensed into a group of eight-diagram-shaped spiritual energy balls with a size of one hundred feet, the glowing rays of light in the center of the spiritual energy balls suddenly rolled to both ends at the wave of Wu Yan's formation flag. In a moment, in front of everyone, a circular passage several dozen feet wide appeared in the center of the eight-diagram-shaped spiritual energy balls.

The two dark cloud warships, immediately under the urging of the helmsman, trembled for a while, and then rushed into the passage.

After dozens of breaths, passing through the hundred-foot-deep spiritual energy passage, the two dark cloud warships appeared out of thin air above the Crocodile Jiao Island. Behind the warships, the glow of light disappeared, and the opened circular passage was closed again, and the entire formation was blocked again.
