Yang Yuwei was taken aback. "You want to investigate Sin Island? That's no ordinary place."
Although Sin Island is a place for punishing sinful cultivators, it is extremely dangerous and is known as one of the six most dangerous places in the Half-Heaven Realm!
"What's there to be afraid of? We've already made it through Tianyuan Cave, that dangerous place, haven't we?" Baxia said disdainfully.
Du Renjie asked, "Brother Lan, why are you so determined to go to Sin Island?"
"To be honest, I have a friend who is also from the Xuanyu Realm. Although we are not very close, we are from the same hometown."
He was murdered not long after becoming a bounty hunter.
I always felt this wasn't so simple; perhaps Sin Island really did have a problem!
The person Lan Hua was referring to was none other than Su Mu, a former Blood Ranking expert of the Burial God Alliance.
After pondering for a while, Du Renjie said, "Since Brother Lan wants to go to Sin Island, then I will accompany you on the trip!"
Since the battle against the Xuan Yu evil spirit, Du Renjie's cultivation has advanced another step, reaching the fourth level of the Yuanxiang Realm.
At this time, he was only in his early thirties, which is unprecedented in the history of cultivation in the Half-Heaven Realm.
"Won't this disturb your meditation?" Lan Hua asked deliberately.
"Won't!"
The group then set off for the South China Sea.
Du Renjie was still the same as before, carrying an ice coffin on his back, and his body always exuded a chilling aura that flowed continuously into the ice coffin.
Sin Island is located in the center of the South China Sea. It is not an isolated island, but a group of islands.
Before even seeing Sin Island, Lan Hua asked, "Miss Yang, what kind of place is this Sin Island?"
Yang Yuwei said, "To be precise, Sin Island is composed of nineteen islands, eighteen of which imprison evil cultivators."
Bounty hunters are not allowed to enter these eighteen islands.
As for the remaining island, it's used for posting bounty missions, and bounty hunters can freely enter and exit!
"The master of Sin Island is called the island master, and there are three island masters in total."
The first island master is named Qin Lan, nicknamed "The End of Sin"; the second island master is named Fei Xiang, nicknamed "The Unfettered Sin"; and the third island master is named He Hong, nicknamed "The Punishment of Sin".
These three are all experts at the Yuanxiang Realm, and they usually stay on Sin Island and never go out.
If even one person comes out to arrest them, then there's no point in having us bounty hunters!
Du Renjie asked curiously, "The eighteen prisons that Miss Yang mentioned earlier, are they located on these eighteen islands respectively?"
"That's right, these islands are all protected by formations and have always been surrounded by an invisible barrier."
This barrier is extremely powerful; even a Yuanxiang Realm expert would find it difficult to break through. Therefore, we bounty hunters have no way to enter!
Du Renjie pondered and said, "This is difficult. With a protective barrier, we can't enter the depths of Sin Island!"
Lan Hua replied, "It's alright, we'll decide how to sneak in once we get there!"
After traveling for a long time, the group finally saw several small dots in the distant sea, which turned out to be Sin Island.
Lan Hua made a gesture, and everyone immediately stopped.
"Miss Yang, you and your senior sister take Wang Mazi to hand in the mission first. Brother Du and I will go and investigate the Eighteen Prisons!"
Yang Yuwei knew that she and Yueya's cultivation levels were insufficient, and that exploring the Eighteen Prisons together would only implicate them, so she nodded in agreement.
"Be careful!"
Lan Hua smiled slightly, and after watching the two sisters leave, she waved her hands repeatedly, drawing two invisibility talismans in the air and imprinting them on Du Renjie and Baxia.
"Brother Lan, is your invisibility talisman reliable? There are Yuanxiang Realm experts on Sin Island!" Du Renjie was a little worried.
Lan Hua scratched her head. "It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Although I am only at the Refining Spirit Realm, my spiritual power is not limited to this. As long as we hold our breath, those powerful figures on Sin Island should not be able to detect us so easily!"
Du Renjie nodded.
The two then slowly approached the Eighteen Prisons and finally stopped outside one of the islands.
The island's surface is covered by a forest, and occasionally one can see some of the island's inhabitants patrolling, but there are no prison cells in sight.
Du Renjie transmitted his voice, "It seems this prison is underground!"
Lan Hua nodded. "There are patrols on the island, so forcibly breaking through the barrier is unrealistic. We need to find a way to sneak in!"
The two men and the dragon thought for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a way that didn't involve a direct attack.
At this moment, Baxia looked at the sea and transmitted his voice, "Do you think there might be some hidden passage on the seabed leading to this island?"
Lan Hua and Du Renjie's eyes lit up; they both felt that Baxia's words made sense.
The two then slowly submerged underwater, but the island of Shoulao was quite large, and it was difficult to find any clues underwater in a short time.
Suddenly, Lan Hua had a flash of inspiration and transmitted her voice, "Brother Ba, it's up to you now."
As a dragon prince, if you were to transform into a dragon, these small fish and shrimp in the sea would surely obey your commands.
"At that time, if you give the order, perhaps they can find something!"
Baxia agreed and was about to transform when Lan Hua reminded him, "Keep it down!"
"Know!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a small dragon five zhang long appeared in the depths of the sea. Lan Hua removed Baxia's invisibility talisman.
The moment the true dragon's body appeared, the fish and shrimp in the deep sea were startled. They immediately stayed put and did not move, for fear that Baxia would swallow them whole.
At Baxia's command, the small fish and shrimp sprang into action, searching along the bottom of the island.
The number of aquatic creatures that obey orders is countless, almost filling the bottom of Shoulao Island.
After a moment, a sea fish swam over shakily, its little head bobbing as if to lead the group over.
"We've got a lead!" Lan Hua transmitted her voice.
The two followed the little sea fish to a crevice in the rocks, a crevice just big enough for one person to pass through.
"This little sea fish says that this is the secret passage leading to the island's underground!" Baxia helped translate.
After saying this, he gave an order, and the aquatic creatures, as if granted a pardon, scattered in all directions, seemingly unwilling to stay with the true dragon, fearing that he would eat them.
"Is my affinity with dragons really that bad?"
After Baxia finished speaking, he transformed into the shape of a small turtle and entered the crevice first.
The secret passage was winding and twisting. After a long while, Lan Hua and Du Renjie slowly emerged from the water.
Beyond the water's surface lay indeed an underground palace.
The underground palace contains many stone chambers, most of which are used to imprison people. Some adjacent chambers are connected by a small window, allowing the two imprisoned individuals to chat freely.
"Hey buddy, we've been stuck on this island for years, why haven't we been given any missions yet? I'm about to burst!"
"You still want to get out? Just you wait!"
"We're only at the Core Formation Realm, what can we do outside? If anyone should go out, it should be the Refinement Realm experts first!"
"Besides, we're already incredibly lucky that Sin Island didn't destroy our physical bodies."
"Isn't it better to stay here? By the time you go out and risk your life for Sin Island, you'll probably be close to death anyway!"
"Brother, you're right. I thought Sin Island was a symbol of justice, but I didn't expect it to be even worse than us at heart."
But why did he spare our lives on Sin Island?
