Shengtian Banbu's arrival left the experts from every major force stunned, and after hearing his booming voice, everyone on the scene was even more dumbfounded.
"What exactly is going on?"
Nine Serpents was one of the ten great adventure groups on Dragon Heart Island. Their strength was so formidable that even first-rate guilds paled in comparison — they were second only to the superpowers on Dragon Heart Island.
Moreover, Shengtian Banbu had an enormous reputation on Dragon Heart Island. He had forged his fame through one brutal battle after another, earning the title of the Iron Blood Battle Maniac. He was universally acknowledged as one of the top ten Berserkers on Dragon Heart Island.
The superpowers on Dragon Heart Island were numerous, each with countless experts. To be recognized by the public as one of the top ten Berserkers — one could only imagine how terrifying his combat power must be.
When such a big shot appeared, everyone thought Shi Feng was done for.
But instead of going after Shi Feng, Shengtian Banbu's first move was to berate his own deputy leader. And from his tone, it was obvious he was deeply displeased and furious about Bubai Tianxing's actions. Even the members of the Nine Serpents Adventure Group were frozen on the spot.
"Leader, what do you want with me?"
Bubai Tianxing walked toward Shengtian Banbu with a bewildered expression, having no idea what had happened.
"Get your people to withdraw — now!" Shengtian Banbu glared at him, issuing an unmistakable command to Bubai Tianxing.
"But Leader, we haven't finished dealing with that kid yet," Bubai Tianxing said hurriedly. "We invited Canguang Ruxue over to build our relationship and discuss cooperation, but that kid humiliated our Nine Serpents. If we don't deal with him—"
"That's enough! I don't want to repeat myself!" Shengtian Banbu said coldly.
Shengtian Banbu was a towering figure across all of Dragon Heart Island, and within the Nine Serpents, his word was absolute law. Even Bubai Tianxing wouldn't dare defy him.
The moment Bubai Tianxing heard the order, he immediately commanded everyone to pull back.
Watching the Nine Serpents members retreat, the crowd stared in utter bewilderment, unable to understand what had gotten into them.
"They're not fighting anymore?"
"No way! After all that, the Nine Serpents are just leaving?"
Just moments ago, they had watched Bubai Tianxing move to kill Shi Feng with their own eyes, and now every last one of them was pulling back. The situation had completely short-circuited their ability to process what was happening.
It wasn't just the experts from the various major forces who were stunned — even Qin Yin and Longyou Tianxia wore expressions of complete confusion, unable to understand why the Nine Serpents had retreated just like that.
Just as everyone was lost in bewilderment and shock, Shengtian Banbu walked up to Shi Feng.
"My friend, earlier was all a misunderstanding. I hope you won't hold it against us," Shengtian Banbu said to Shi Feng with genuine apology. "Please accept this Sea Boundary Stone as a gesture of apology from our Nine Serpents."
As he spoke, Shengtian Banbu produced a palm-sized azure water orb, his expression full of sincerity — nothing at all like the legendary leader of the Nine Serpents Adventure Group.
Not far away, Bubai Tianxing nearly popped his eyes out at the sight.
Was that really even their leader?
Their leader, Shengtian Banbu — what kind of figure was he? He was a regional overlord of Dragon Heart Island, an expert standing at the very peak. Even the presidents of the superpowers had to show him respect. And yet now he was...
Meanwhile, Qin Yin and Siyu Qingxuan, standing beside Shi Feng, were completely bewildered by what was happening. But Longyou Tianxia was so shocked his jaw nearly hit the ground, staring at Shi Feng as though he were looking at a god.
