In daily life, we don't feel hungry even if we don't eat, but who can completely give up their appetite?
What's even more frustrating is that on this vast ocean, if you don't find something to do, the monotony and boredom can drive you crazy.
"Fortunately, I asked Da Long for some tea before I left."
"Otherwise, this old Taoist priest would truly suffocate on this sea."
Zhang Sanfeng muttered to himself in frustration, then picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
The aroma of tea lingered on his lips and teeth, carrying a mysterious charm that slightly eased the anxiety between his brows.
Just as Zhang Sanfeng was savoring the aroma of the tea, a small black dot appeared on the distant sea.
His expression brightened, and he abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"I hope this time they won't disappoint me again."
As he muttered to himself, Zhang Sanfeng's aura suddenly surged forth.
The small boat shot off like an arrow, hurtling towards the black dot.

Before long, as the distance closed, the outline of the black dot gradually became visible.
The island's shape gradually became clearer.
"Smoke from a cooking fire?!"
"Could it really be Water God Island?!"
Upon seeing the wisps of smoke rising from the island, Zhang Sanfeng's eyes immediately lit up.
Zhang Sanfeng was overjoyed and became excited.
Having wandered for so long, traversing countless islands, his patience had long been worn thin by repeated disappointments. If it weren't for the thought of returning in disgrace and being mocked by Li Taibai, or even being punished by the Great Dragon Chief, he would have given up long ago. Now, finally, a turning point has arrived!
He took two deep breaths to suppress his excitement. Suddenly, his cloudy old eyes shone brightly, his heart filled with anticipation.
As soon as the small boat reached the shore, before it had even come to a complete stop, Zhang Sanfeng eagerly leaped toward the rising smoke, his speed astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at his destination. Looking at the well-arranged buildings, a look of joy flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to land, a series of sharp, whistling sounds suddenly rang out.
A hail of arrows rained down. Although they couldn't harm him, who was at the Celestial Realm, the attack was clearly hostile.
"Go!" Zhang Sanfeng waved his sleeve, and the arrows all turned and fell into the open ground.
Seeing that the other side was about to fire another arrow, he quickly released his aura and shouted, "Please wait, everyone! This old Taoist has no ill intentions. I only wish to pay my respects to the Water God Ancestor. Please inform him."
As he spoke, he landed lightly, his imposing manner softened, and a warm smile appeared on his face, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
An elderly man stepped out from the line of arrows: "Who are you? Please state your name."
"The old Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng."
Zhang Sanfeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He answered calmly and in a peaceful tone.
"Zhang Sanfeng?"
"Could you be one of the seven leaders of the Azure Dragon Society?"
"A master ranked thirty-third on the Kyushu Power Ranking?!"
The old man repeated in a low voice, then suddenly his expression froze.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.
His eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"It is I."
Zhang Sanfeng readily admitted it, his expression remaining unchanged.
"Please wait a moment, senior, while I go and inform the patriarch."
After confirming his identity, the old man's expression turned serious.
His words carried a newfound respect.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly.
The old man didn't delay any longer and raised his hand to signal the archers around him to lower their guard.
He then turned and walked away quickly.
Before long, the old man hurriedly returned.
He bowed respectfully and said, "The patriarch is waiting; please follow me, senior."
"Thank you for showing me the way."
After thanking him, Zhang Sanfeng followed at a leisurely pace.
The old man stopped in front of a cave.
"The ancestor is inside the cave. Please come in, senior."
After saying that, he stepped aside and stood outside the cave to wait.
Zhang Sanfeng stepped in, his expression calm and composed.
They were not worried at all about whether there was an ambush inside the cave.
After passing through the dark passage, the view suddenly opened up before us.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang has come from afar; I have failed to greet you properly, please forgive me."
A loud laugh rang out, and the Water God Ancestor walked towards them.
What's amazing is that although this old man has an aged face, he is unusually robust.
He exuded a powerful aura that commanded respect.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
"I am truly sorry to have troubled you like this."
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he responded politely.
He was secretly surprised.
With his cultivation level at the late stage of the Celestial Realm...
He could actually see through the other person's cultivation level!
What puzzled him even more was that
They also vaguely sensed a hidden and terrifying threat.
This gave him a jolt.
Their admiration for the Great Dragon Head deepened even further.
Even powerful figures from such remote overseas regions know this very well.
As expected of the forbidden existence hailed as the number one in the Nine Provinces, it is indeed unfathomable!
"Fellow Daoist has come from afar; surely there must be a reason for it."
After the two sat down,
The Water God Ancestor poured him a cup of wine.
He asked calmly.
A hint of confusion and inquiry flashed across his eyes.
What he was curious about was,
What is the purpose of their visit?
Able to cross the vast ocean,
He would never believe it if someone said they had nothing to ask of him.
What puzzled him even more was that
Water God Island is thousands of miles away from Kyushu.
How did they find this place?
How did they learn of his existence?
He cares more about the latter!
It seemed as if they had seen through his thoughts.
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment, then replied with a smile:
"To be honest, I am here on the orders of the Great Dragon Head to invite you to join the Azure Dragon Society."
"As for your information, fellow Daoist, and the location of Water God Island..."
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Great Dragon Head himself to find out."
A hint of doubt also arose in Zhang Sanfeng's heart.
Although he knew,
The vastness of Kyushu far exceeds imagination.
But from where did the Great Dragon Head learn about the Water God Ancestor and the Water God Island?
Could it be that besides the Azure Dragon Society,
Does the Great Dragon Head also control a massive intelligence force?
Will they even extend their reach overseas?
Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Chapter 108 Luoyang
The awe for the dragon head deepened even further.
212 - The Water God Ancestor, whose mind and spirit were shaken, submits!
"Join the Azure Dragon Society?"
"Fellow Daoist, is what you say true?"
The Water God Ancestor's eyebrows twitched slightly.
His expression remained calm.
His tone was so calm that you couldn't tell if he was happy or angry.
"how do I say this?"
"Could it be that you look down on the Azure Dragon Society, fellow Daoist?"
Zhang Sanfeng looked slightly surprised.
He immediately countered with a question.
Look the other person directly in the eye.
A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Water God Ancestor.
Clearly, they failed to understand the other party's intentions.
"You've misunderstood."
"The Azure Dragon Society's reputation has spread far and wide."
"Even though I've lived abroad for a long time, I'd heard about it before."
"How dare we underestimate it?"
"I just don't understand."
"How did you come to know me?"
"Then why do you want to recruit me?"
