Chapter 508: Chapter 229: Nameless Island Master

He couldn’t suppress a wild laugh in his heart.

Shen Cangming did indeed have a high opinion of himself. As the leader of the Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea, countless people had died at his hands.

Therefore, he was extremely self-confident.

Now, Fang Shuwen knew Sikong Cheng wanted to capture Luo Shuqing, yet he was still walking right into the trap. He was clearly just as arrogant.

But, one had to admit, Fang Shuwen had every reason to be arrogant.

With his level of Martial Arts, anyone would have that kind of confidence.

However, Shen Cangming felt that Fang Shuwen was underestimating Sikong Cheng.

The great Island Master of Nameless Island was hardly such a simple character.

This time, Fang Shuwen was probably going to take a huge fall.

’But isn’t this exactly what I wanted?’

As for the Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea, it now seemed that everyone besides himself had died at Fang Shuwen’s hands.

With Fang Shuwen walking to his doom, it meant that even if he himself died, his sworn brothers and sisters would be avenged!

At this thought, Shen Cangming didn’t hesitate in the slightest:

"Fine, I’ll take you there!"

"Excellent!"

Fang Shuwen said with a smile:

"Don’t worry. Since you’re being so cooperative, once this is done, I’ll give you a quick end too."

"..."

’Oh, thank you so much!’

Shen Cangming gritted his teeth inwardly, hoping only that he could witness the miserable sight of Fang Shuwen’s defeat at Sikong Cheng’s hands.

Just then, Fang Shuwen unsealed Shen Cangming’s acupoints and said:

"Take off your clothes."

Shen Cangming was stunned:

"Why?"

Fang Shuwen glanced with disgust at the set of clothes Yan Wusong had taken off:

"You don’t expect me to wear those bloody clothes, do you?"

’He won’t even wear his own clothes if they’re stained with blood...’

Shen Cangming cursed inwardly, but he could only scowl and strip off his robes.

He picked up Yan Wusong’s bloody clothes and put them on.

Fang Shuwen, meanwhile, put on the clean clothes.

He said to Luo Shuqing and the others:

"We’re going to meet this Sikong Cheng. Zuo Xuan, Zuo Hong, Zhou Zhengze, let’s assign roles.

"When the time comes to act, I’ll start killing immediately.

"The scene will inevitably get a little chaotic, so you three protect Luo Shuqing.

"If you really feel like you’re outmatched, call for me, and I’ll be there right away.

"Understand?"

The four of them understood, but Zuo Xuan couldn’t help but ask:

"Do we really have to go?"

"Of course we have to go."

Fang Shuwen said:

"Besides, not going isn’t an option.

"Shen Cangming and his men came to capture us. They didn’t return. If we don’t go find Sikong Cheng quickly, the next group he sends won’t be this small.

"Once this escalates... everyone on the island will probably come after us."

Fang Shuwen really didn’t want to annihilate an entire island on his first day in the East Sea.

Especially Nameless Island...

This island had close ties with the Eastern Domain, with ships traveling back and forth.

If he destroyed Nameless Island, it would probably be a huge hassle to find a boat back to the Eastern Domain when he wanted to return.

So it was best to resolve this matter with the least amount of commotion possible.

And achieving that wasn’t difficult; he just had to deal with the source of the problem.

Hearing Fang Shuwen’s explanation, the group exchanged glances. It all made sense, so they nodded immediately.

"Then we’ll be relying entirely on you, Hero Fang."

Zuo Xuan said, cupping his fist.

"As long as my Young Lady is unharmed, I will not so much as frown, even if you order me to my death, Hero Fang."

Fang Shuwen glanced at Luo Shuqing with a half-smile, then nodded.

"As long as you follow my orders, no one will die."

After saying this, he patted Shen Cangming’s shoulder.

"My palm is less than an inch from your vital gate, so you’d best not try any tricks."

"...Of course not."

Shen Cangming took a deep breath and put on his mask.

Fang Shuwen smiled, carefully wiped the mask clean, and put it on his face.

Zuo Xuan and Zuo Hong flanked Luo Shuqing—the only one who hadn’t changed clothes—on her left and right. Zhou Zhengze naturally followed at the rear, and the group left the room.

Downstairs, people in the main hall immediately turned to look at them. However, the inn was in a remote location, and there weren’t many guests.

The group ignored the stares and swaggered directly out of the inn.

Some people muttered in low voices, and others made discreet inquiries, but ultimately, no one came to any conclusion.

After leaving the inn, Shen Cangming led the way.

He stuck to the most remote paths possible.

Fang Shuwen asked him a couple of questions, and Shen Cangming explained.

It was true that the Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea were colluding with Sikong Cheng, but this matter could not become public knowledge.

That was why they had taken the most secluded routes possible when they came over this time.

Furthermore, Sikong Cheng was not in his own residence at the moment.

That place was surrounded by people and would easily attract attention.

Sikong Cheng was currently in another villa he owned on Nameless Island.

To avoid keeping Sikong Cheng waiting, Fang Shuwen’s party quickened their pace.

In about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had crossed nearly half of Nameless Island.

They traveled almost entirely along the island’s edge.

Finally, they arrived at a place nestled by a mountain and water.

A mountain rose up at the island’s edge, and nestled within its peaks was a mansion.

Before the mansion lay a pool of water as smooth as a mirror.

The scenery was indeed quite beautiful.

In the hidden spots around the area, many people stood guard.

As soon as they approached, someone stepped forward to ask for the password.

After Shen Cangming calmly gave the password, the man let them pass immediately.

Just like that, they proceeded all the way to the mansion’s entrance.

A plaque hung high above the main gate: Sikong Villa.

After entering the courtyard, the security was even tighter, with guards posted every few steps.

But the deeper they went, the fewer guards there were.

Sikong Cheng obviously knew Shen Cangming had returned.

He had someone lead them directly to a hall deep within the villa.

Someone went forward to report, and a rather lazy voice soon came from within the door:

"Let them in."

He then ordered the surrounding guards to withdraw from the area.

The matter of the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror was of utmost importance. The slightest leak of information could lead to a catastrophic disaster.

CREAK. The hall doors opened. Before anyone could be seen, a fragrance of wine, meat, and cosmetics wafted out.

Shen Cangming silently led the group into the hall.

Fang Shuwen gave the room a quick glance.

On each side of the hall were three tables, laden with fine wine and delicacies.

A person sat before each table, presumably one of Sikong Cheng’s expert subordinates.

And in the main seat was a portly, heavyset man.

His face was slightly flushed. He had already sat up straight, and only after the inner hall doors were closed and the guards had retreated did he chuckle and speak:

"See? Speak of the devil. We were just talking about the young lady of Qingxiao Pavilion, and here she is..."
