Suddenly, deep within the billowing black fog, the seawater automatically parted into two sides.
A dark figure rode on a giant wave, like a sea god, and roared towards the direction of the Netherworld Island...
Inside the stronghold of the Tu Xia organization.
Ye Feng killed all the assassins, including Okamoto Shichijiro, and turned to leave.
"benefactor!"
Behind him, the iron chains trembled, and the man knelt forward to pay his respects.
It was the man who had warned him earlier that the black mist was poisonous. He had a large iron chain around his neck, and Okamoto Shichijiro had broken his bones. He was lying on the ground unable to move.
Ye Feng gave him a Body Tempering Pill, which helped him set his bones and prolong his life, and his injuries healed quickly.
Then, he unleashed another sword strike, severing the iron chains around everyone's necks.
Since they are all martial artists of the Great Xia Dynasty, contributing to the country, Ye Feng could not possibly stand by and watch them die.
Everyone was overjoyed to be rescued and knelt down in front of Ye Feng, kowtowing repeatedly.
According to them, these old men were originally warriors from the Dragon Soul Temple.
In the last century, they were ordered to travel thousands of miles from China to Youming Island to mine spirit minerals, which is the martial arts expeditionary force that Hongyan mentioned earlier.
Later, Japanese warriors launched a large-scale invasion of Great Xia.
With the country engulfed in war and chaos, the higher-ups had no energy left to mine any more spiritual minerals.
In addition to other reasons, as time went on, this part of the expeditionary force was stranded on Youming Island and was unable to evacuate back home in time.
He stayed there for decades.
The group of elderly people in front of me longed for their homeland and secretly left Youming Island together, hoping to return to their country.
Unfortunately, they were captured by the Tu Xia organization halfway there and were imprisoned for several years, where they were not treated as human beings at all.
During this period, he suffered all kinds of humiliation and torment, living a life worse than death, even worse than a dog.
They were lucky; at least they survived.
Many who escaped from the Island of the Dead were brutally murdered.
Ye Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Warriors of the Dragon Soul Temple, one of the four great temples of the Great Xia Dynasty, have fallen to such a miserable state, living worse than pigs and dogs.
As the master of the Dragon Soul Temple, Ye Feng felt deeply guilty.
A fierce fire of anger burned fiercely in his eyes.
Whoever dares to mistreat the people of the Dragon Soul Temple in this way, shall be torn to pieces.
The old man who had kindly reminded Ye Feng earlier was named Lu Yu. He told Ye Feng that there was a plane behind the base that he could take to leave.
Upon learning that Ye Feng was heading to Youming Island, he volunteered to be his guide.
“My benefactor, I have been on the island for several years and know the terrain there very well.”
"Many of our Dragon Soul Hall elders are trapped on the island and cannot escape. We beg our benefactor to save them."
Lu Yu knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Feng, pleading desperately.
The other elderly people also struggled to kneel down.
Ye Feng helped them up.
"Don't call me your benefactor anymore. My name is Ye Feng. Just call me Xiao Feng."
Lu Yu was taken aback, gripped Ye Feng's hand tightly, and asked excitedly.
"Could it be Ye Feng, the recently rising star of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Sea East God Ye?"
Ye Feng said.
"It's me."
"But I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person."
Lu Yu and the others became even more excited and knelt down in front of Ye Feng, their voices choked with emotion.
"So it's the young master..."
"We greet the young master!"
Everyone wept with joy.
Although they were kept here like dogs, they could often hear the base assassins discussing the major events happening outside.
The most talked-about topic is the powerful rise of Hai Dongye Tianshen, and people have long heard about Ye Feng taking control of the Dragon Soul Temple.
Unexpectedly, I met Ye Feng by chance.
Overwhelmed with excitement, the elderly men took turns volunteering to fight.
"Young Master, lead us back to Netherworld Island and rescue those old buddies."
"Those damn Japanese devils and Americans not only occupy our spirit mine, but they also keep finding ways to exploit us. If we don't go to rescue them, those old guys will probably all die in the spirit mine."
"Let's fight them."
"That's right, anyway, I was given a second chance at life."
"Two shoulders and a head, who's afraid of who?"
Originally, they escaped with the intention of returning to their home country to seek help.
Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart.
These elderly men, even in dire straits, did not forget to rescue their comrades, truly showing unwavering loyalty.
"Okay, I promise you."
Ye Feng nodded solemnly.
Lu Yu and the others were very happy.
"Youthful ideals surpass even the heavens!"
"We swear to follow our young master to the death!"
Lu Yu then told Ye Feng that there were several secret training bases of the Tu Xia organization in the vicinity.
Without saying a word, Ye Feng immediately rushed over and slaughtered them all.
Outside the base gate, strings of blood-red human heads hung high.
Swaying in the wind, dripping with blood.
Although Okamoto Shichijiro self-destructed, his head was not completely shattered, leaving behind a bloody piece of his skull hanging there.
Doesn't he like to have big red lanterns hanging high?
Ye Feng fulfilled his wish.
In the end, Ye Feng led only Lu Yu and a group of old men back to the heart of the valley.
All told, he's been out for over an hour now. I wonder how Xiahou Ba and the others are doing.
Of course, before leaving, I also took Okamoto Shichijiro's Onimaru sword.
As they approached the heart of the valley, they heard fierce fighting coming from the depths of the jungle, accompanied by screams of agony...
