Chapter 1137: What You Said Makes a Lot of Sense

Seeing Sha Yi's goofy expression, Ye Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Sha Yi was very clever. When he realized Ye Yuan knew nothing about Nine Phoenix Island, he understood that Ye Yuan definitely didn't have a Clear Vision Token.

Having arrived at Nine Phoenix Island, he was terrified that Ye Yuan would snatch their tokens.

One token allowed only one person to enter; the rest had to wait outside the island.

If Ye Yuan took both their tokens, Sha Yi's trip would be for nothing.

"When did I ever say I was going to snatch your tokens?" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

Everyone was stunned.

"Sir, if we don't take their tokens, how will we get in? Those fire spirits seem extremely powerful, and this miasma appears to conceal a formation—it won't be easy to pass!" Ao Qian said.

"Yes, Young Master Ji. Sha Yi said that in all these years, no one has ever entered without a token," Old Tan added.

Zhao Qian's beautiful eyes flickered, but she said nothing, though her gaze held no less doubt.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "They only have two tokens. Even if we took them all, only two of us could enter. Who would go?"

Ye Yuan's question left everyone speechless.

But Sha Yi was overjoyed. "S-Sir, you really won't take our tokens?"

Ye Yuan kicked him and said irritably, "Get in there! If you keep blabbering, I'll take your tokens after all!"

Startled, Sha Yi scrambled into the miasma with Sha Er.

"Sir, this..." Ao Qian said, puzzled.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Just follow me. A mere miasma can't stop me."

With that, a brightness flickered in Ye Yuan's eyes, and the miasma suddenly cleared before them.

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye could see through all things in the world; a mere miasma was naturally no obstacle for Ye Yuan.

Once the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye opened, everything was clear at a glance.

Ye Yuan moved through the miasma as if strolling in a courtyard.

Suddenly, a terrifying fire spirit burst forth, charging straight at the group.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, feeling as if they were about to melt.

Ye Yuan shouted coldly, "Xiao Huo!"

A figure shot out, lunging at the fire spirit.

To everyone's astonishment, Xiao Huo reached out with both hands and caught the fire spirit!

Then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

Xiao Huo lowered his head and started gnawing on the fire spirit!

"This... is a spirit being?" Old Tan said in shock.

Even if it were a spirit being, being able to withstand such a terrifying fire spirit was an extraordinary existence!

Ye Yuan smiled. "Xiao Huo was born from the Pure Sandalwood Fire Lotus and can devour all fires in the world. These fire spirits are a great tonic for him."

"P-Pure Sandalwood Fire Lotus?" Old Tan swallowed hard, his eyes full of shock.

A spirit being born from the Pure Sandalwood Fire Lotus was a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year occurrence!

He looked at Ye Yuan, his heart trembling.

What kind of experiences had Ji Qingyun gone through in those twenty years of disappearance?

This guy was simply monstrous beyond words.

Along the way, Xiao Huo devoured several fire spirits, his aura growing stronger and stronger, shocking everyone.

He even let out a burp and said shyly, "So full."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Half a day later, the view opened up before them, and they finally arrived on land.

Ahead lay what looked like a market town, bustling with people coming and going.

"To establish a trading fair in these waters, the master of this place must be formidable," Ao Qian said.

"S-Sir, you actually made it in! How... how is this possible?"

Suddenly, a strange cry rang out, full of surprise. Who else could it be but Sha Yi?

"Entering Nine Phoenix Island without a Clear Vision Token hasn't happened in over a thousand years!" Sha Er's voice was equally filled with amazement.

"Ignorant fool! There are plenty of things you haven't seen! How could a small fry like you fathom my master? Have you ever seen a Dao Profound Sixth Layer who can kill you?" Jiang Taicang said smugly.

Sha Yi paused, actually pondering seriously, then suddenly realized, "Mm, what you said makes a lot of sense. Sir is indeed no ordinary man. Sha Yi admires you!"

The Sea Race also revered the strong, and Ye Yuan's strength had completely won over Sha Yi.

Moreover, after defeating them, Ye Yuan hadn't made things difficult for them, not even taking their Clear Vision Tokens.

Simple-minded Sha Yi felt grateful to Ye Yuan.

However, the commotion had attracted the attention of many in the market town.

They gathered around, examining Ye Yuan and his group as if they were rare treasures.

"No way, they got into Nine Phoenix Island without Clear Vision Tokens? Unbelievable!"

"Yeah, Nine Phoenix Island has been operating for over a thousand years, and I've never heard of anyone just barging in."

"These people must be carrying some heavy treasure, right? Otherwise, the fire spirits on the island would have killed them!"

At the words "heavy treasure," many eyes gleamed with greed.

Most of those who could enter Nine Phoenix Island were quite powerful.

Among them were some Void Profound experts with great confidence.

How could they not be tempted by a treasure that could evade the miasma and fire spirits?

Sha Yi blinked his fish eyes, secretly amused.

These fools had no idea how terrifying this sir was!

Sure enough, Ye Yuan said calmly, "Old Ao!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ao Qian acknowledged, opened his mouth, and let out a furious roar. The violent primal energy instantly spread across the entire island!

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they became uneasy.

"It's a dragon's roar! They're from the Dragon Clan!"

"This dragon is incredibly powerful!"

"Better not meddle. The island lords will handle it. Let's go!"

Having witnessed Ao Qian's strength, those people no longer dared to covet anything. They retreated and went back to their own business.

"Heh, a bunch of overconfident fools, daring to have crooked thoughts about sir!" Sha Yi flattered with a fawning smile.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and realized this guy wasn't as simple as he seemed; he was just a bit dim-witted.

"Sha Yi, this is our first time on Nine Phoenix Island. Take us around," Ye Yuan said.

Sha Yi quickly replied, "Of course, of course! It's my honor to show sir around Nine Phoenix Island! But... we need to wait a bit."

Ye Yuan was taken aback. "Why?"

"Sir entered Nine Phoenix Island without a Clear Vision Token. The island lords definitely won't ignore that. If I'm not mistaken, they're already on their way!" Sha Yi said.

Sure enough, as soon as Sha Yi finished speaking, three figures walked over slowly.

The middle-aged man in the center stepped forward, bowed to Ao Qian, and said, "Brother from the Dragon Clan, what business brings you to the Nine Phoenix Alliance?"
