Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 825: Chapter 669: Kingly Demeanor

"The attire of the people here is quite varied."

Just then, a giant ocean ship shimmering with brilliant Spiritual Light split the water and steadily sailed toward them.

The ship was three to four times larger than their ironwood ship, over a hundred meters long and more than ten meters high.

The hull was carved with various fierce Water Beasts, with faintly visible mystical Spiritual Light symbols flowing across.

"The Ride the Wind!" someone on the ship exclaimed softly.

The discussions among the Long Family members instantly turned into a chorus of unhindered awe and envy.

"Tier Three Ocean Ship!"

"Our ship, compared to theirs, is just a raft."

"Now this is a true treasure ship that can traverse the great sea!"

The ironwood ship under their feet, once considered the treasure of the Long Family Stronghold, appeared extremely plain and overshadowed before the Ride the Wind.

At the front of the crowd, Long Xiaoyun stood quietly.

She glanced at the Tier Three Ocean Ship and took a deep breath.

Fresh, pure air rich with abundant Water Spiritual Power flooded her lungs.

Even in this bustling dock, the Spiritual Qi here was purer and more intense than on Golden Dragon Island.

An indescribable sense of comfort surged through her heart.

The Ride the Wind stopped.

Chu Duanlang flew down lightly from the ship, landing gracefully on the deck of the ironwood ship.

Shen Xuan stepped forward to introduce both sides.

"Elder Long, this is Chu Duanlang, who oversees the ship squadron at Starlight Island."

"Chu Duanlang, this is Fellow Daoist Long Zhijiao, the external affairs elder of the Golden Dragon Island Long Family Stronghold, a Body Refining Master of the Dharma Realm."

Long Zhijiao and Chu Duanlang exchanged courtesies.

Shen Xuan instructed Chu Duanlang to lead the Long Family members to reside temporarily in the Cave Mansion on Starlight Island to rest.

Though the number was large, fortunately, the majority were Body Refining Masters who didn’t mind the mansion’s tier.

After some time.

He would designate a branch of Spiritual Land on Starlight Island exclusively for the Long Family members to settle.

The Long Family disciples were full of curiosity and excitement about everything before them.

Under Long Zhijiao’s intimidating presence, they maintained basic order.

However, their eyes continuously darted around, whispering to each other.

Only Long Xiaoyun remained calm as water.

She stood quietly in place, her gaze on Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan said to Long Xiaoyun: "Fellow Daoist Long, follow me."

After speaking, his figure blurred as he left the deck, transforming into an Escape Light, flying toward the Cave Mansion on the island.

Long Xiaoyun silently followed.

The two left the noisy dock one after the other, quickly arriving at the Cold Ice Cave.

Awaiting Shen Xuan, besides his Dao partner Qin Hanyue, was an unfamiliar Golden Core True Master.

"True Master Xuan Xiang of the Profound Celestial Sect, under orders from the sect, here to negotiate the reclaiming of Starlight Island."

After hearing Qin Yuehan’s Spiritual Communication.

Shen Xuan’s face darkened.

"You are True Master Xuan Xiang?"

True Master Xuan Xiang was slightly taken aback.

The hostility in Shen Xuan’s words was evident.

After some brief thought.

Sure he hadn’t made any mistakes onto which the opposing True Master Profound Ice could latch.

"Xuan Xiang of the Profound Celestial Sect, greetings to Fellow Daoist Profound Ice of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

True Master Xuan Xiang politely folded his fists in salutation.

Originally, he had achieved Core Formation earlier than Shen Xuan.

Both were Golden Core True Masters.

The Profound Celestial Sect was the number one sect in Song Country.

Logically, Shen Xuan should have initiated the courtesy.

"The matter of borrowing the island is pure rumor and unfounded."

"Back then, I accumulated merits in the sect war between Yan Song and Song Country. The Profound Celestial Sect and Cyan Cloud Sect jointly decided to gift Starlight Island to me as a Dao venue in recognition of my wartime contributions."

"No need to say more, True Master Xuan Xiang. Go back and tell Brother Xuan Ji, if he wants to reclaim Starlight Island, let Purple Maple True Monarch come to negotiate with me!"

Shen Xuan’s stance was extremely resolute.

He wouldn’t even heed the Profound Celestial Sect Leader True Master Xuan Ji.

Unless they sent out Song Country’s foremost cultivator, Purple Maple True Monarch.

"Shen Xuan, how dare you be so unreasonable!"

True Master Xuan Xiang’s voice was thunderous.

"Impudent!"

Shen Xuan immediately changed his expression.

The imposing Ice Technique Golden Core Spiritual Pressure enveloped True Master Xuan Xiang.

As if a Mount Tai was bearing down, it gradually intensified.

"True Master Xuan Xiang, on my Starlight Island, you are being exceedingly rude!"

Their confrontation was tense, with swords drawn and ready to clash.

As long as True Master Xuan Xiang made the first move or spoke insolently and uttered excessive words.

Shen Xuan would undoubtedly give him a lifelong lesson.

True Master Xuan Xiang glared at Shen Xuan.

But never unsheathed his Spiritual Artifact.

He knew full well.

If they truly fought, he was likely no match for True Master Profound Ice.

Besides, this was True Master Profound Ice’s Dao venue.

Time, place, and conditions didn’t favor him.

No matter how stubborn, he wouldn’t engage in direct confrontation with True Master Profound Ice here and now.

"Fine. I will convey Fellow Daoist Profound Ice’s words to the Sect Leader senior brother."

True Master Xuan Xiang repressed his anger and said angrily.

What a pity!

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

This True Master Xuan Xiang was indeed flexible.

He didn’t act rashly.

Not giving Shen Xuan an excuse to act.

"By the way, one more thing."

Shen Xuan leisurely said, "Starlight Island doesn’t welcome disciples from the Profound Celestial Sect. Within a month, all Profound Celestial Sect members must leave Starlight Island."

"Otherwise, their assets will be confiscated, and they’ll be expelled from Starlight Island!"

Shen Xuan’s words struck like a dull stick, leaving True Master Xuan Xiang dazed.

How dare he speak such words?

Was this a public break with the Profound Celestial Sect?

"Show the guest out!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan’s order to leave, True Master Xuan Xiang left sullenly.

Shen Xuan took Long Xiaoyun into the Cold Ice Cave.

After introducing Long Xiaoyun to Qin Yuehan.

He went alone to pay respects to his master, True Master Cold Jade.

"Shen Xuan, the Profound Celestial Sect intends to reclaim Starlight Island, what is your countermeasure?"
