Chapter 1047: Arrangement
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
As dusk came, three fighters roared over the Pacific Ocean and flew across the thick clouds, quickly flying toward the coordinates of the sky over the ninth empty island given by Tang Xiu.
At this time, dozens of large ships and hundreds of cultivators in the Pacific Ocean raised their heads and focused their attention on the three fighter jets. All of them looked curious since the signature on the fighters indicated that they belonged to China.
However, this place was far away from China, yet their fighters flew to this place. Why didn’t the other countries stop these planes? For what reason did these aircraft fly here?
Tut, tut, tut…
Not long after, all the leaders of the practitioner forces of various countries received a message at nearly the same time: “The treasure that is said to be buried in the Pacific Ocean is just a sheer fabrication and the culprit for the rumor is the Celestial Wizard Clan, whose clansmen have been lost and subjected to grave injuries after a fight with China’s Special Abilities Bureau. Hence, they spread the rumor in an attempt to use major practitioner forces all over the world to attack the island, which is a branch of China’s Special Abilities Bureau.”
We’re all being used? Meaning that the news about the treasures is fake?
The Celestial Wizard Clan and China’s Special Abilities Bureau?
All the leaders of the various forces in the world turned furious and investigated the truth behind the declaration through various channels of intelligence. However, much to their surprise and disbelief, there was indeed bounty rewards for the Celestial Wizard Clan’s hunt as well as the news about the appearance of their clansmen in the Pacific Ocean, which made them believe this statement.
As for the treasure, if it was really here, then why would the Celestial Wizard Clan, who came to the Pacific Ocean earlier than them, act like a tortoise by calling all their clansmen back and none of them came out from their territory? It was impossible for them not to covet this treasure at all.
Another piece of news spread also spread out quickly after and was transmitted to the Heads of the various forces: “Chinese officials have also sought China cultivator forces to come forward to assist the evacuation of the secret branch of its Special Abilities Bureau.”
Cultivators, to all of them, were people whose existence was equal to great mountains—existences who brought heavy pressure to the forces’ leaders of various parties all over the world. Back when in the Crusades, some practitioner forces had once invaded China, and even a group of demons entered its territory… yet, after the numerous major events, they were eventually repelled by the oriental hermits, leaving dread in their hearts.

On the ninth empty island.
As Tang Xiu jumped from the fighter jet’s cabin, two luxurious liners on the nearby waters slowly sailed over. On the deck of one of the luxurious liners stood a middle-aged man who seemed to hold power in the Pyramid organization. He was sitting on a lounge chair and comfortably enjoying the massage of two beautiful blondes. In his hand was a glass of red wine, showing off his leisure and contented attitude.
“A new situation?”
He abruptly sat straight and hinted to the two pretty blondes to leave. His eyes then shifted to the three fighters in the sky. To his disbelief, he could see someone jumping down from nearly a kilometer high from the fighter’s cabin with his sharp, eagle-like eyes.
“Someone’s committing suicide?”
Next to the stalwart middle-aged man was a thin young man with a scar on his face. His pupils suddenly shrank and he said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man didn’t speak. After he stood up from the lounge chair, he just crossed his hands and looked up at the figure in the sky while harboring the same thoughts as those around him, thinking that person was going to commit suicide. After all, jumping straight from the air nearly a kilometer high would make one meet their tragic death even if he fell into the seawater below.
“Impossible!”
The middle-aged man’s face suddenly shifted with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He could clearly see that the figure jumped from one kilometer high initially, but then he lunged down with his head then floated midair 200-plus meters above the sea with his feet down and just stood still midair there.
The thin young man suddenly exclaimed, “God! How did he do it? How powerful is he to achieve such a feat?”
At this moment, the stalwart middle-aged man could see Tang Xiu’s face. After being silent for a moment, his gaze suddenly shifted to the looming island not far away. Then, he ordered in a deep voice, “Change the course and sail towards that island!”
Tang Xiu, who was flying high up in the air, originally intended to enter the ninth empty island. However, he changed his intention after seeing the emergence of the two liners that unexpectedly sailed quickly in the same direction. A chilling light flashed on his face upon seeing them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
