Chapter 944: Crisis in Nine Dragons Island

The first wisp of sunlight was rising from the East horizon as Tang Xiu woke up from his sleep. He looked at Zhang Xinya who was still soundly asleep with a rosy complexion before he reached over to grab his mobile phone on the bedside counter and looked at the dozens of unanswered calls on it.

“Huh? Long Zhengyu?”

Brows wrinkled, Tang Xiu put on clean clothes with a puzzled expression. He didn’t even take the time to shower and just headed to the living room instead to call back.

His call just rang twice before it got picked up, followed by Long Zhengyu’s hushed voice, “We got an accident here on Nine Dragons Island, Tang Xiu.”

The news made Tang Xiu’s expression change and he asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”

“Two black-robed old men landed on the island last night. They said that they had buried something here and must dig it out,” said Long Zhengyu. “They claimed that it’s buried in the center of the island where we’ve built the houses. We’ll have to demolish them if they want to dig it up.”

“Do you know who are they?” asked Tang Xiu.

“I dunno their identity… but they are… just dreadful. The island has quite a number of experts on guard, yet those two black-robed old men were able to injure tens of them. If it wasn’t for the help from six very powerful mysterious people, those two black geezers would’ve succeeded.”

“There were other six other people?” asked Tang Xiu again, “You know those six?”

“I dare say that I’ve never seen them.” Long Zhengyu shook his head and said, “These six look very young, seemingly around seventeen years old, yet their combat force is nothing to scoff at. Their magic spells are still shocking even though they didn’t summon wind or call for rain.”

‘They are cultivators?’ Tang Xiu’s expression changed and he asked in a heavy voice, “What’s the current situation now?”

“Those two black-robed old men are now battling these six teenagers and they seem to be in a deadlock. No one has the upper hand,” said Long Zhengyu with a wry voice.

“I’ll be there tonight at the latest,” said Tang Xiu with a deep voice, “Zhengyu, remember to pay attention to safety first and don’t enter any conflict with them if possible. Demolishing the buildings is not an option—prevent them in doing do so. And do anything you can to buy some time until I arrive.”

“Got it!” answered Long Zhengyu.

Tang Xiu took a deep breath. After hanging up, he dialed Mo Awu’s number and learned that he had arrived in Thailand along with Jin Shi, Xue Sha, and Hei Xiong. They were expected to come over in a few hours, so Tang Xiu immediately ordered Mo Awu to immediately depart to Saipan and they’d meet there.

It had been a longtime plan of Tang Xiu to make Nine Dragons Island an important site of cultivation in the future. He had literally burned so much money to buy it and even invested 20 billion yuan for the construction project there. Additionally, he still had to invest a lot of jade there to arrange a large array. With such a problem occurring there, it was a must for him to rush over and deal with it personally.

He couldn’t guesstimate who those two black-robed old men were, but he had a faint hunch that the other six youths were definitely cultivators. He had assigned quite a number of experts to guard the island, save for Wolf Head’s team, including some Everlasting Feast Hall experts just like Mo Awu.

“These people should be very formidable.”

Tang Xiu woke Zhang Xinya up and slightly felt sorry for her after seeing her sleepy face. Nevertheless, he still spoke to her, “Xinya, I’m sorry, but I can’t escort you back to the mainland. You have to hurry to take a shower and leave Bangkok with me. I’m going to take you somewhere else.”

With her spirit aroused, Zhang Xinya’s face was the epitome of joy as she asked, “You won’t escort me back to China? That’s great. But where are we going, though?”

“We’ll head to Saipan and then leave for Nine Dragons Island,” answered Tang Xiu.

“Nine Dragons Island?” Zhang Xinya was confused and asked again, “Where is this island located?”

“It’s an island I bought in the Pacific Ocean. I set it up as our future base,” answered Tang Xiu. “Something just happened there, so I have to rush over and deal with it.”

Even though Zhang Xinya didn’t understand why Tang Xiu must leave for the island he bought in the Pacific Ocean, nor what he meant as a ‘base’ later, she immediately understood and quickly got up to wash and rinse out her mouth. She then got everything packed up.

Ten minutes later, they came out of the suite. Tang Xiu then saw Spectre, Gu Tao, and Zhang Jue outside. There was also Singluen with them and the latter quickly greeted him, “You’ve woken up, Mr. Tang!”

“Something important came up, so I must leave Thailand right away,” said Tang Xiu. “Singluen, I’ll have to put our plan on hold for now, but I’ll be back here to find you once I’ve dealt with the problem in that place.”
