Chapter 502 Arrangements for Poseidon Island
After a moment of contemplation, Flander suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue that Liu Erlong had mentioned before, and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"You mean, you suspect that Erlong has been influenced by her adopted younger brother and girlfriends?"
Yu Xiaogang snorted:
"I don't recognize any younger brothers or sisters. Erlong only has the two of us as his brothers and sisters. What right do others have to be Erlong's brothers and sisters? I don't recognize any of them."
"Who knows where they came from, and whether they have any designs on Erlong?"
"However, I'm certain that Erlong's current state is definitely related to them."
Flanders made an "uh" sound:
"I think Erlong is quite good this way."
"At least she is happy, has motivation in life, and has her own goals to pursue. She is no longer depressed all day long, with a melancholy face, like a walking corpse without a soul, living a somewhat muddled life."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang angrily flicked his sleeves:
"What's so good about it? She's become like this, she doesn't even care about me anymore."
Flander was speechless for a moment, glanced at him sideways, and said rudely:
"Now you realize you're no longer loved by Erlong? That's all your own doing."
"If you hadn't abandoned Erlong and hidden away back then, and hadn't been a coward for twenty years, would your relationship with her have developed to this point?"
Upon hearing Flander bring up the old story again, Yu Xiaogang immediately shut his mouth and remained silent.
Flanders, however, had no intention of stopping:
"Xiaogang, there's clearly something wrong with your attitude. In my opinion, as long as Erlong is doing well, that's enough."
He paused, then continued:
"As for whether Erlong's adopted younger brother and younger sister have any impact on her, that's not something we should speculate on."
"It's Erlong's freedom to choose who she befriends and who she becomes sworn siblings with. We are just Erlong's sworn brothers and have no right to tell her what to do."
"Besides, even if Erlong is affected by them, so what? As long as Erlong is happy and content, isn't that enough?"
"At least for now, the changes in Erlong are all for the better, so let's not interfere."
"Instead of wasting this time, you'd be better off thinking about how to win back your place in Erlong's heart and get back together with her?"
Seeing that Flanders didn't seem to agree with his opinion, Yu Xiaogang waved his hand unhappily. Reconcile? What are you thinking? I don't want her to ruin my reputation.
Even if we were to be together, it would have to wait until I reached the pinnacle of the world, where no one would dare to contradict or speak ill of me.
With his mind racing, Yu Xiaogang didn't say a word, just shook his hand and walked towards the gate of Tiandou City.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was still the same stubborn and unyielding Yu Xiaogang, who wouldn't listen to anyone, Flander sighed helplessly but could only follow him back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
…………
The Kingdom of Hagen.
Hanhai City is the only and largest coastal and port city on the western border of the Tiandou Empire.
The enormous city was built along the sea, towering high on the mountains by the sea, and could not be shaken in the slightest by the surging waves and ebb and flow of the tide.
The thick city walls demonstrate the city's status; it was definitely a main city.
Standing on the beach at the port of Hanhai City, Ye Qifeng looked out at the vast blue ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see.
That is the endless sea in the western part of Douluo Continent, and in the endless sea, there is a special island.
—Poseidon Island, a sacred site of divine authority built by some filthy entity to collect faith and maintain its own dominance.
At this moment, although Ye Qifeng's eyes were on the sea, his thoughts had already drifted to Seagod Island.
However, Poseidon Island is still too far away, and we don't have the ability to deal with it for the time being. It's not too late to deal with it after the Douluo Continent is unified.
Yes, and that dirty thing behind it is something we absolutely cannot let go of.
After a long while, Ye Qifeng withdrew his gaze from the distance and glanced to the left and right.
Beside him stood two beautiful women.
On the left is Hu Liena, her childhood sweetheart, senior, and girlfriend, with a perfect figure, stunning looks, and an innately alluring charm.
On the right is the Ninth Sister, Nihuang, who is tall and has a figure that is no less than Hu Liena's, and even a few steps hotter. She exudes a lazy and charming aura.
Both women had short hair, but in different colors—one was pink-gold and the other was light purple—and both were stunningly beautiful.
Hu Liena's pink and gold hair is a little longer, reaching her shoulders, which perfectly matches her alluring temperament.
Nihuang's light purple hair was slightly short, just reaching her chin, adding a touch of heroism to her languid and charming temperament.
At this moment, Hu Liena was tightly holding Ye Qifeng's left arm, her bright, narrow eyes reflecting his handsome profile, and nothing else.
Nihuang stood close to Ye Qifeng, her left arm crossed over her chest, her fair and tender arm supporting her full breasts. Her right elbow rested on her left wrist, her jade hand arched back, supporting her fair and beautiful oval face. Her pair of light purple eyes, like Ye Qifeng's, gazed at the deep blue sea in the distance.
The three of them stood side by side on the beach, creating a beautiful scene.
A faint, salty smell was clearly audible in the air, and a gentle sea breeze blew by, softly ruffling the hair of the three of them.
Ye Qifeng turned to look at Nihuang on his right and asked in a gentle voice:
"Ninth Sister, what's the situation in the Kingdom of Hagen?"
After dealing with the wolf bandits roaming the Kingdom of Hagen, Ye Qifeng led his team back to the capital of the Kingdom of Hagen to reunite with Nihuang. Later, he secretly led his team to Hanhai City and brought this important port city under his control.
Now, Hanhai City has officially changed hands and fallen into the hands of the Spirit Hall. However, on the surface, Hanhai City is still a vassal city of the Hagen Kingdom, only secretly controlled by the Spirit Hall.
As for the overall situation in the Kingdom of Hagen, it was coordinated by Nihuang, who was stationed in the Spirit Hall in the capital of the Kingdom of Hagen.
However, now that Nihuang has also arrived in Hanhai City, the situation in the Hagen Kingdom must be completely under the control of the Spirit Hall.
As Ye Qifeng had predicted, he soon received confirmation from Nihuang.
Nihuang withdrew her gaze, looked at her beloved little brother Feng, smiled, and responded in a soft, charming voice:
"The situation is under control."
"The royalists and hardliners within the Kingdom of Hagen have been completely wiped out by us; all that remains are opportunists."
"I originally thought it would be difficult to win over the Hagen Kingdom, but I didn't expect that after killing just a few people, they all turned against me on their own. So I simply changed my strategy and let the Spirit Hall take over the entire kingdom secretly."
"However, the royal family of the Kingdom of Hagen is a problem. Although they surrendered to us and swore allegiance under pressure from the Spirit Hall, it is difficult to ensure whether they still have rebellious intentions, after all, they have the blood of the Heaven Dou royal family flowing in their veins."
"But the Spirit Hall cannot surface right now and still needs to hide itself. We also need the Hagen royal family to cover for us, so we can only keep them around for the time being to lull the Heaven Dou royal family into a false sense of security."
Night Breeze nodded gently:
"It's alright. The Hagen royal family can't cause any trouble. Keeping them alive is more beneficial to the Spirit Hall, so there's no need to kill them outright."
"As long as they are obedient, we may not necessarily give them a way out in the future, and we may even recruit them as members of the Spirit Hall."
"Of course, there's no need to keep those parasites who only know how to suck the blood of the people; just send them straight to the underworld to meet the King of Hell."
Nihuang smiled alluringly:
"Okay, I'll do as you say, Xiaofeng."
She's grown increasingly fond of her younger brother, who's decades younger than her. He's kind-hearted yet also ruthless, which is truly exhilarating and makes one's heart pound. I love him!
Hu Liena, standing next to her, had eyes full of stars, her gaze filled with love and boundless admiration.
A moment later, Nihuang gently brushed aside her hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze, and asked Ye Qifeng:
"By the way, Xiao Feng, why do you value this Han Hai City so much? What's so special about it?"
Nihuang is a cultivation fanatic. Before being appreciated and promoted by Bibi Dong and meeting Ye Qifeng, she only had cultivation and fighting in her eyes and did not know much about the information of certain regions or cities.
For example, Hanhai City is like this.
She only came to Hanhai City because Ye Qifeng was here. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have even glanced at this place. After completing the task assigned by Pope Bibi Dong and subduing the Hagen Kingdom, she would probably have returned to Wuhun City immediately.
"Yes, Hanhai City is very important."
Ye Qifeng nodded, and, meeting Nihuang's questioning gaze, explained to her:
"Hanhai City is the only port for the Tiandou Empire to access the endless sea to the west, the most important gateway, and also a hub for maritime transportation and trade."
"The endless sea contains countless riches, including abundant Soul Master resources, as well as many rare metal ores and other resources that can be used for military purposes to strengthen the military."
"By controlling this place, one gains the potential to control the endless wealth and resources of the boundless ocean."
Nihuang suddenly realized, but then said with some worry:
"But relying solely on the port city of Hanhai City shouldn't be enough to control the endless sea. Moreover, this sea isn't without an owner; it seems to be controlled by a Sea Soul Master force called Sea God Island."
"If the Spirit Hall wants to completely control this endless sea, it must first conquer Seagod Island."
"But the strength of Poseidon Island should not be underestimated."
"I remember that twenty or thirty years ago, the Spirit Hall once launched an expedition to the endless sea in an attempt to subdue Seagod Island. However, that expedition ended in a crushing defeat for the Spirit Hall and was eventually abandoned."
She didn't know much about Hanhai City, but as the Ninth Elder of the Elder Hall, she did know some information about powerful forces like Seagod Island.
If someone dares to use the name of a god, their background must be extraordinary. Perhaps, like the Spirit Hall, Seagod Island also worships a deity.
The rumors that Poseidon Island holds the legacy of the gods are probably not unfounded.
Otherwise, how could a powerful organization like the Spirit Hall have suffered such a crushing defeat, and then willingly admit defeat and let the matter drop?
Nihuang didn't reveal the fact that Poseidon Island might be the place where a god passed on his legacy, especially since Hu Liena was present.
Although I know that she, like Xiao Feng, is a disciple of Pope Bibi Dong, this matter is of great importance, so it's best not to tell her this information, lest it frighten her.
Moreover, knowing too much about some things isn't necessarily a good thing.
Ye Qifeng knew what Nihuang was worried about, but although his purpose in leading the team to subdue Hanhai City was to deal with Poseidon Island in the future, it was just to make preparations in advance.
He wasn't that reckless; going straight to Poseidon Island would be tantamount to suicide.
He knew more about Poseidon Island than Nihuang did, and wasn't worried that Poseidon Island would make any big moves.
In any case, Poseidon, the highest-ranking warrior on Poseidon Island, and the Sea Dragon, Sea Horse, and others from the Seven Pillars, need to stay on Poseidon Island and cannot leave easily.
The same applies to the three thousand Sea Soul Masters under their command; they don't even have the right to leave Seagod Island. After all, their existence is merely as a tool of faith, providing faith power to the filthy things behind them.
Therefore, as long as the Spirit Hall does not provoke Seagod Island, there is no need to worry about Seagod Island reacting too violently.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall can take this opportunity to secretly rebuild and expand its naval spirit master fleet.
By the time Poseidon Island recovers, the Spirit Hall's naval spirit master fleet will likely have grown significantly, perhaps even reaching a large enough scale, at which point they can consider launching an expedition against Poseidon Island.
Given that there's a filthy sea god lurking behind Poseidon Island, perhaps we should find a few more helpers to go with us when dealing with it. Well, we'll talk about that later.
In a swift thought, Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, looked at Nihuang, and said to her:
"Ninth Sister, you're right. Seagod Island is indeed a tough nut to crack, but we can ignore it for now. The Spirit Hall's main objective is still the heartland of Douluo Continent."
"We can deal with the Spirit Hall after it has completed the unification of the Douluo Continent."
"However, we need to make some preparations beforehand."
"For example, rebuilding the Spirit Hall's maritime spirit master fleet, clearing out the rampant pirates in the nearby waters, and at the very least, bringing the waters near the coast of Hanhai City and even the entire Hagen Kingdom under our control."
As Ye Qifeng spoke, he raised his right hand, curling his fingers inward to make a gesture of the Unbreakable Grip, before continuing:
"Taking Hanhai City is the first step."
"Hanhai City is a major producer of Sea Soul Masters, and its shipbuilding industry is highly developed, which can provide a continuous supply of Sea Soul Master soldiers and build powerful warships. It has great strategic significance for the reconstruction of the Spirit Hall's naval Soul Master fleet."
"Moreover, this place was once the base of the Spirit Hall's naval soul master fleet, and it was also the only outlet to the sea to the west, leading to Seagod Island. It was also the closest outlet to the sea, making it the best choice as a strategic foothold for the future destruction of Seagod Island."
"Therefore, controlling Hanhai City has multiple benefits; it can be said to be a win-win situation."
