"Impossible, right? Liu Mengting is sure there are traces of life from Tang Ming here, how could he not be here?"

Sun Zhuangjia looked incredulously at the old madman.

"I haven’t sensed any living person on the island."

The old madman’s face was solemn as he replied.

"Could he be dead already?"

Sun Zhuangjia’s expression stiffened.

"Miss, there’s a wooden hut on the island with signs of someone living here."

At that moment, someone stepped forward to report.

"Quickly, lead us there!"

Su Xiaoxi immediately pulled Liu Mengting as they hurried over.

A group of people quickly ran into the island, arriving at their destination, where they saw remnants of a bonfire near the wooden hut, along with remnants of seafood and other food, indicating someone had lived here.

"Ugh, ugh, where are they, where are the people?"

Liu Mengting came out of the wooden hut holding a bracelet of Li Xiaoli’s: "This is Xiaoli’s item, Xiaoli and Tang Ming must have been here."

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, even if we have to dig up the whole island, we will find them."

Su Xiaoxi hurriedly embraced Liu Mengting, but couldn’t stop her own tears from falling.

On seeing the simple wooden hut and the harsh living conditions, both girls could imagine the kind of life Tang Ming and Li Xiaoli had been living, and they felt saddened just thinking about it.

"You shouldn’t be so upset. After all, Li Xiaoli is a beauty. I’m sure my junior would have had a good time spending day and night with a beauty."

Seeing the two women like this, Sun Zhuangjia couldn’t help but remind them.

Men’s and women’s thoughts are just different. The two women were thinking about the hardship Tang Ming and Li Xiaoli faced, while Sun Zhuangjia’s first thoughts were of many less appropriate things.

"You’re shameless, vulgar."

Even though Sun Zhuangjia was speaking the truth, he was cursed at by the two women.

"I..."

"Family Head!"

Just then, several subordinates from the Su Family came running over.

"Any discoveries?"

Su Tianyu hurriedly asked.

"We found traces of a battle in the small woods not far away."

"Let’s go take a look."

The old madman’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly flashed over.

The so-called battle traces were where Tang Ming first fought with the mutated Li Xiaoli.

Arriving at the scene, they saw broken trees everywhere and various terrifying marks, and everyone’s face turned grim.

"Tang Ming indeed encountered trouble."

The old madman surveyed the area, his face turning dark with worry.

"Senior?"

Everyone looked at the old madman anxiously.

"He fought with a master here and was thoroughly defeated."

The old madman replied, secretly worried: "Tang Ming actually used the Huaxia Secret Technique, but the opponent left no other martial arts traces. This suggests that they were far superior to Tang Ming. However, these battle marks seem to have occurred a long time ago!"

"Master, do you think it’s possible my junior fell into enemy hands, was tortured for a long time, and then..."

Sun Zhuangjia approached the old madman, making a throat-slitting gesture.

The old madman nodded. If a strong person had captured Tang Ming, they would certainly force him to reveal the cultivation methods of the Huaxia Secret Technique, making Sun Zhuangjia’s reasoning entirely plausible.

"Ugh, where did Tang Ming go? Even if he’s... there should be a body left behind."

Liu Mengting completely broke down, crying and shouting: "Tang Ming, Xiaoli, where are you?"

"Search, dig three feet deep, but find them."

Su Tianyu gritted his teeth: "We need to see them alive if possible, or find their bodies if not."

"Report, report..."

At that moment, a subordinate stumbled and crawled over.

"What now?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Su Tianyu shouted irritably.

"There’s, there’s a woman floating in from the sea."

The subordinate, wiping sweat from his brow, explained.

"What?"

Everyone looked bewildered.

The group rushed to the beach at top speed, only to see a coldly elegant beauty in a white kimono, standing on a small boat just big enough to lie down on, gliding across the sea.

"This..."

Su Tianyu and the others were dumbfounded. The boat had neither oars nor sails; how was it moving by itself?

"A Martial General master."

The old madman squinted his eyes, whispering softly.

"Another Martial General?"

Su Tianyu and others exclaimed, this many Martial Generals appearing after going to sea, is it possible they’re as common as cabbage now?

"Tianye Yingzi! It’s Tianye Yingzi!"

Su Xiaoxi, after looking closely, shouted excitedly.

"You know this person?"

The others uncertainly looked at Su Xiaoxi.

"She’s associated with Tang Ming."

Su Xiaoxi shouted excitedly: "Yingzi, Yingzi, come over here!"

Since the distance was quite far, and Tianye Yingzi’s goal wasn’t the small island, she didn’t notice the commotion on the island and soon drifted away towards the distance.

"She must be looking for Tang Ming; we need to stop her quickly."

Seeing Tianye Yingzi ignoring them, Su Xiaoxi became extremely anxious.

"Zhuangjia, go invite her."

The old madman glanced at Sun Zhuangjia.

"Got it."

Sun Zhuangjia nodded, quickly running along the water’s edge towards Tianye Yingzi.

"Let’s go over there quickly as well."

Su Xiaoxi couldn’t wait and had a big ship drop a speedboat, then followed in pursuit.

Tianye Yingzi, with a furrowed brow, propelled her small boat forward, only for a dark-faced man to suddenly appear in front of her.

"Miss, are you looking for Tang Ming?"

Sun Zhuangjia grinned as he looked at Tianye Yingzi.

"Who are you?"

Tianye Yingzi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"My name is Sun Zhuangjia, even that kid Tang Ming calls me big brother when he sees me."

Sun Zhuangjia arrogantly pointed to his own face.

"Who exactly are you? Do you know where my master is?"

Tianye Yingzi looked impatiently at Sun Zhuangjia.

"Well... I don’t know."

Sun Zhuangjia laughed awkwardly.

"If you don’t know, then move aside, you’re wasting time."

Tianye Yingzi’s face turned cold.

"You rude woman, do you know who you’re speaking to?"

Seeing Tianye Yingzi’s impoliteness, Sun Zhuangjia was immediately enraged. As a Martial General himself, being treated so rudely was intolerable.

"Scram!"

Tianye Yingzi snorted coldly, preparing to leave.

"Impudent, I must teach you a lesson today."

Sun Zhuangjia shouted angrily, summoning his Vigorous Air Armor and charging forward.

"Seeking death! Heaven Dance Reincarnation Slash."

Seeing Sun Zhuangjia make a move, Tianye Yingzi’s eyes flashed coldly. She drew one long and one short katana, slashing fiercely at Sun Zhuangjia.

Two sharp blades of sword energy crossed the sea surface, cutting towards Sun Zhuangjia.

"Damn it!"

Sun Zhuangjia’s expression changed slightly as he crossed his arms to block the attack.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Sun Zhuangjia’s body was directly hacked into the sea.

"Cough, cough, help, I can’t swim!"

Sun Zhuangjia cried out in terror, feeling utterly miserable.
