Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 866 - 864: Spirit Snake Island

Hearing this, Ling Chen's expression also grew solemn. He had come here precisely to gather information about the Witch Fiend Sect.

Now that he had proven his identity and defeated Ling Feng, he was considered to be among this group of people.

"More than ten years ago, the Witch Fiend Sect suffered a heavy blow and lay dormant by the East Sea. We thought they would behave, but recently they've started making waves again."

Fang Qingwei's pretty face was filled with a serious expression. "Not only in the East Sea island domain, but the influence of the Witch Fiend Sect has also expanded into Xuzhou. This time, led by the Swordsaint Family, the major Saint families have joined forces and are ready to eradicate the Witch Fiend Sect completely."

Hearing this, Ling Chen's gaze slightly narrowed, it seemed like something big was about to happen in Xuzhou once again.

"As the saying goes, 'a centipede dies but never falls down,' although the Witch Fiend Sect suffered a fatal blow over a decade ago, under the leadership of Left Guardian Fei Zhong, their recovery has been fast, showing signs of returning to its former scale."

Fang Qingwei surveyed the crowd. "Based on our investigations over the past month, we discovered that there is a branch base of the Witch Fiend Sect on this Grey Bear Island."

"But this branch was already wiped out by us the day before yesterday. From the captured powerful members of the Witch Fiend Sect, we finally learned the location of the Witch Fiend Sect."

"Is what the powerful member of the Witch Fiend Sect said completely credible?"

Ling Chen raised an eyebrow,

"Don't worry about that."

Lan Xingling, standing beside him, smiled and said, "The family of Sister Fang possesses a Secret Art that can hypnotize people and make them tell the truth, so it must be reliable."

"I see, perhaps I was overthinking it."

Ling Chen nodded. In this vast world full of wonders, the Fang family's Secret Art indeed had extraordinary aspects. Having such a Secret Art was certainly convenient for interrogation.

"So, where exactly is the Witch Fiend Sect?"

Ling Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. After so much talk, they finally arrived at what he was most interested in.

Fang Qingwei paused for a moment, then softly said, "Spirit Snake Island."

"Spirit Snake Island?"

Both Ling Chen and Lan Xingling furrowed their brows. As they exchanged glances, they could both see a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

In the East Sea Shallow Sea Area, there are numerous islands, big and small, totaling over a hundred. Among them, there doesn't seem to be an island named Spirit Snake Island.

"When I first heard this name, I felt the same as you because even after staying in this shallow sea area for over a month, it was the first time I heard of Spirit Snake Island. It made me think there might be an issue with the Secret Method."

Fang Qingwei, seeming to have anticipated their reactions, continued, "Spirit Snake Island is located in a sea area not far from Grey Bear Island, but around Spirit Snake Island, a very clever Maze and Fog Concealment Formation has been set up, covering the entire Spirit Snake Island within."

"As a result, Spirit Snake Island has never appeared in the sight of the world. It was even removed from maps, and even if we passed by there, we might never discover the existence of Spirit Snake Island."

"I see."

Ling Chen finally showed a hint of realization. With this explanation, he understood. No wonder the Witch Fiend Sect could remain so well-hidden; they had concealed themselves so thoroughly.

"Then what are we waiting for? We should report this information back to the family and have them deploy experts to conquer Spirit Snake Island."

Ling Feng immediately said.

"No."

Fang Qingwei shook her head, "The existence of Spirit Snake Island is information we only obtained through interrogation, and we haven't confirmed its specific location yet. If we report it back so hastily and it turns out to be a trap set by the Witch Fiend Sect, wouldn't we be leading the family into a fire pit?"

"Qingwei is right."

Beside her, Ling Hai also nodded, "We can't rashly send this information back before confirming it."

"Then let's set off to verify it as soon as possible."

Ling Chen's eyes turned as he looked at Fang Qingwei, "The news of the Grey Bear Island branch being destroyed, the Witch Fiend Sect might soon find out. To prevent any complications, it's best to confirm it quickly."

"Wuchen is right, if the Witch Fiend Sect discovers it, we'll be at a disadvantage." Lan Xingling nodded in agreement.

"Understood."

Fang Qingwei nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, we'll set off tomorrow for the location of Spirit Snake Island. Tonight, I'll distribute maps to each of you, marking the approximate location of Spirit Snake Island. We will act in groups, and if anyone finds the location of Spirit Snake Island, signal the others and do not rashly venture deep."

"Got it."

The crowd responded in unison.

However, Ling Chen didn't take these words to heart. His goal wasn't just to find the location of Spirit Snake Island but to completely infiltrate it.

In the subsequent grouping, Ling Chen naturally formed a team with Lan Xingling. There were six groups in total, with three or four people in each team.

"Everyone, get some rest early tonight. We'll depart first thing in the morning."

After ensuring the teams were evenly distributed, Fang Qingwei addressed the group.

The crowd gradually exited the private room, and after nodding at Ling Chen, Fang Qingwei also turned to leave.

However, as Ling Feng was leaving, he glanced at Ling Chen, his eyes clearly filled with resentment and disgust.

To this, Ling Chen inwardly chuckled coldly. Earlier, it was a spar, so he had held back. If this person knew what was best and let it go, that would be fine. But if he attempted any underhanded tactics in the future, Ling Chen would not show mercy.

He didn't care about any trivial family ties; if someone wanted him dead, Ling Chen would ensure they met an unpleasant end.

"This person is narrow-minded, Brother Wuchen, there's no need to bother with him. If he truly acts thoughtlessly, I will stop him."

Lan Xingling seemed to have noticed something too, and she approached Ling Chen to reassure him.

"I hope the kid has some sense."

Ling Chen said noncommittally.

Outside the private room,

Ling Feng suddenly slammed a fist onto a column, looking at Ling Hai with a grim face, and said in a low voice, "Ling Hai, after enduring so much humiliation today, do you really expect me to swallow my pride? It's impossible. I must find an opportunity to kill that boy, leaving him without a burial place."

"Can you really kill that boy?"

Ling Hai shook his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Wait for the opportunity. On this trip to scout out the Witch Fiend Sect's location at Spirit Snake Island, there should be opportunities. With the maze, killing formations, and traps around the Witch Fiend Sect, it's about whether you can seize the chance."

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Ling Chen's public humiliation of Ling Feng was a slap to the face of the Ling family. He opposed a duel between Ling Feng and Ling Chen, but he didn't oppose Ling Feng taking secret revenge. If they could secretly eliminate Ling Chen, effortlessly and without a trace, that would be ideal.

"Rest assured. I will seize the opportunity."

Ling Feng grinned. How could he not think of this? As long as he could kill Ling Chen, it didn't matter what means he used. Even if they were dirty, it was fine as long as he could achieve his goal.
