Upon seeing this, Carl and Anthony immediately stopped and then squinted at the uninvited guests.

Among the group that parachuted in, the leader was an elderly man dressed in a white robe.

He has a dignified appearance and is full of energy. He is clearly a master with high attainments in the art of magic!

At least in terms of presence, he's no less impressive than Karl and Anthony.

The others who came with the white-robed elder were all at the Nascent Soul stage or above, and they all looked at Karl and Anthony with displeasure.

Upon seeing the elder in the lead, Leng Ruolian immediately greeted him politely, "Elder Zhou."

Elder Zhou nodded slightly, then looked intently at Karl and Anthony.

"You two have left Yingdun City to come to Dragon Island's territory to spar with a junior? You certainly have a good interest!"

Karl said in a sinister tone, "Your veiled attacks are meaningless. This commander has traveled across the ocean to come here just to bring back that kid surnamed Wei."

“He caused trouble abroad and ruined someone who had a connection with my temple. I must bring him back.”

"But your island's young master is interfering; is he determined to oppose our Holy Temple?"

The dignified Elder Zhou frowned slightly upon hearing this: "May I ask what caused young friend Wei to take such action?"

Anthony said unhappily, "Elder Zhou, there's no point in asking why now. We just need to take Wei Tianci back to be punished."

"We do not want a major conflict with your island, and we hope you understand!"

Leng Ruolian immediately said, "No! Wei Tianci is my friend, and I will not allow anyone to take him away!"

Karl gave a cold laugh: "Young Master Leng, you are too young. This is not a matter for you to decide."

"Wei Tianci has offended our Holy Temple, yet he still thinks he can get away with it? Don't you underestimate our Holy Temple?"

Elder Zhou glanced at Leng Ruolian without making a sound and found that this aloof young master's heart was completely focused on Wei Tianci.

He immediately understood about 80% of it.

Elder Zhou then spoke up calmly: "What you two say makes a lot of sense."

"However, our island's young master is eager to protect his friend and also has his own stance."

"So my idea is to bring Wei Xiaoyou back to the island first, to gradually understand the details of the process, and then make a decision."

Carl's face hardened: "Old man, are you kidding me?"

If they were to take Wei Tianci away now, where would the two of them get another chance to arrest him?

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhou calmly replied, "This is a matter of life and death; it is unreasonable to listen to only one side's opinion."

Karl's face twisted in a grimace as he said, "Are you absolutely determined to protect your own?"

Elder Zhou smiled slightly: "Commander Karl, we Dragon Island never hide our true intentions when we do things."

“If Wei Tianci is an utterly wicked person, we will absolutely not protect him.”

"But if he is upright and honest, then we will not let the young master's friend be bullied."

His tone was calm and unhurried, but everyone could hear the firmness in it; he meant what he said!

In an instant, the forest became deathly silent.

Carl exchanged a furtive glance with Anthony, then addressed the crowd, "I'm giving Dragon Island face today so you can find out the whole story."

"But what if you secretly let Wei Tianci escape? What then?"

Elder Zhou said calmly, "If young friend Wei goes missing, I will take responsibility."

At his level, his words carry more weight than gold!

Carl glanced at him resentfully upon hearing this, but as the saying goes, "You have to bow your head when you're under someone else's roof," and in the end, he could only grit his teeth and accept: "Fine!"

He then stomped his foot and took off like a spring from the ground, disappearing within seconds.

Anthony followed suit and took off into the distance.
