Chapter 3564

Sea God's Island!

The residents on the island were all extremely excited, for today was the election for the new Seven Sacred Pillars...

Whenever one of the Seven Sacred Pillars fell, the remaining Soul Master elites on the island would be selected to take up the mantle...

To reignite the fighting spirit of the residents...

"Has everyone heard? The High Priest seems to be selecting new Seven Sacred Pillars soon. Our Sea God's Island will have two new Sacred Pillars taking office!"

"Yeah, two of the Sacred Pillars sacrificed themselves in battle before, and I was a bit worried that our Sea God's Island might be lacking in combat strength. Now it seems that was completely unnecessary worry."

"Who's to say it isn't so? Our Sea God's Island has many powerful Soul Masters, not something those on the Continent can compare with. Even having lost a few Sacred Pillars, it hasn't caused any substantial impact!"

"Exactly, the foundation of our Sea God's Island is immense, not to mention we have powerful protectors like the High Priest. Whoever dares to provoke us is asking for death!"

"Back then, those from the Martial Soul Hall came here with great aggression, yet didn't they fall one after another to the High Priest before they could leave!?"

"Shush, talking like this, aren't we being somewhat disrespectful to the Sacred Pillars who have already sacrificed themselves? No matter what, they did it for the safety of Sea God's Island."

"Hmph, as one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, protecting Sea God's Island and us is their duty. Their fall can only be attributed to their own insufficient strength!"

But just as these words left his mouth, the residents around him all looked behind him, their expressions filled with fear and reverence...

The former frowned, "Why are you looking behind me? Even if the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar of the Seven Sacred Pillars arrived, I'd say the same thing!"

After speaking, he confidently turned around...

But upon clearly seeing who was behind him, his pupils shrank, and he involuntarily took several steps back...

In shock, he exclaimed, "Sea... Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar!!"

The icy gaze of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was trained on the other man, who said word by word, "I heard everything you just said. As one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, am I supposed to sacrifice myself for you?"

The former swallowed hard and, stiff-necked, said, "This... Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, they... since they've gained the power, they should naturally sacrifice themselves for us!"

Upon hearing this, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar's eyes could not hide his fury...

As one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, to sacrifice oneself for the protection of Sea God's Island was indeed a responsibility!

But this guy right here didn't consider the lives of the Sacred Pillars as anything important at all. Weren't they also part of Sea God's Island?

Thinking of this, unable to contain his anger, he immediately reached out and grabbed the man's neck, hoisting him into the air...

In that moment, the latter saw a strong murderous intent in his eyes and finally felt fear in his heart...

He pleaded with all his might, "Spare... spare me, Lord Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar... spare me..."

The Sea Star Sacred Pillar suddenly appeared next to them and casually reminded, "Sea Dragon, using force on a resident in such a place will affect your reputation!"

Using force on a comrade in such a crowded place was not a good thing!

Even if you really couldn't help but want to use force, you should find a secluded place!

However, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar merely glanced at him, his murderous intent unabated...

"This guy actually insulted the Sacred Pillars who sacrificed themselves for the protection of Sea God's Island, it's unforgivable!!"

The Sea Star Sacred Pillar seemed to realize something and hastily interjected, "No, you mustn't!!"

However, it was already too late!

The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar's palm increased in strength, and a terrifying force erupted instantly, crushing the other's bones…

With a "crack," as the man's body shook a few times, it completely lost vitality…

After casually tossing the body onto the ground, he gave an order without a hint of mercy, "Someone come, throw this guy's corpse off Sea God's Island. A person like this doesn't deserve to be buried here!"

The surrounding Purple-level Tributors, seeing this, also hurried over, dragging the body away…

The Sea Star Tributor clenched his fists, reprimanding, "Sea Dragon, you're too impulsive. Killing someone in the street, and one of our own people from Sea God's Island, will likely bring criticism not only to you but to all the Sacred Pillars, and even the High Priest will be talked about!"

He hadn't expected the other to really take action, to completely ignore his words!

"If you're worried about your reputation, there's no need. I will apologize to the High Priest later, and inform the entire Sea God's Island that the killing was entirely my own doing!"

This disciple from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect felt cold sweat bead on his forehead as he quickly explained, "In the time we left the imperial palace, we confirmed that Ning Rongrong was in the group."

"But I don't know why she suddenly disappeared!"

Gu Rong suddenly laughed out of extreme anger, "Suddenly disappeared, you mean to say, someone could abduct Ning Rongrong right under my watch?"

The former felt aggrieved, almost on the verge of tears, "No… that's not it, Senior Bone Douluo, there's definitely something wrong with this matter!"

However, Gu Rong gave the other no chance to explain, cutting him off without mercy, "Shut up, this is clearly because you were negligent. We will settle this matter when we return to the sect."

"Right now, the most important thing is to find Ning Rongrong!"

In contrast, Ning Fengzhi's expression was much more composed...

"Yes, indeed!"

Hearing this lukewarm response, Gu Rong couldn't help but scold, "Feng Zhi, Ning Rongrong has disappeared, how can you seem so unconcerned?"

Last time she had barged into the Pope Hall, this time, who knows what unfamiliar place she might stumble into!

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the other, consoling, "Uncle Bone, be at ease. After the last incident, Ning Rongrong has learned her lesson, she won't do anything to cause us concern!"

For some reason, he always felt that this time, his daughter didn't leave on purpose!

Gu Rong was silent for a few seconds before noncommittally saying, "That's... true, Ning Rongrong indeed has changed a lot, but that doesn't mean she's safe right now!"

"I'm going back to the imperial palace now to bring Ning Rongrong back!"

However, Ning Fengzhi extended a hand to pat the other's shoulder...

"No need, let us return to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect just like this. Ning Rongrong will come back on her own!"

Based on his observations, besides Ning Rongrong, several other disciples from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had also disappeared!

So, it shouldn't be long before they return to the sect together!

Gu Rong's eyes widened, "Feng Zhi, this matter isn't a joke, are you sure we just return to the sect now??"

"And besides, there's no certainty about whether Ning Rongrong is in danger or not!"

Ning Fengzhi simply shook his head, then looked toward the other disciples from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect...

"Everyone, continue on, try to make it back to the sect tonight!"

Hearing this, the disciples, though not understanding why they hadn't been reprimanded, felt their heavy hearts lighten slightly…
