Asura Continent

He looked at Zhou Dekang as if he was looking at an idiot and mocked, "Zhou Dekang, I admit that you have a very high position in front of Ning Yuheng, but don't forget, although Ning Yuheng is the Island Lord's brother, he is only the manager of the Rogue Cultivator Inn. Even if you do well and become the manager of the Rogue Cultivator Inn, don't even think of becoming the manager of the Rogue Cultivator Island."

At this point, Wang Jian paused before continuing, "Besides, what qualifications do you have to become the chief steward of a Rogue Cultivator Island? Other than being smarter, there doesn't seem to be anything special about you! Alright, let's cut the crap here. I won't kill you because of Ning Yuheng, but you must tell me the reason why you are here. Otherwise, you won't be able to return safely. "

Zhou Dekang's words were filled with an enormous aura, and as he spoke, that aura began to spread out, affecting Zhou Dekang's mind.

Zhou Dekang's heart tightened. He knew that he was no match for Wang Jian, so he quickly said, "Head Steward Wang, what you said is true. However, this Rogue Cultivator Island is no longer the Rogue Cultivator Island of the past. "The Rogue Cultivator Island is still here, but the Island Lord has been replaced. If you don't believe me, you can feel it and see if Island Master Ning is still on the island."

Wang Jian didn't believe Zhou Dekang's words at all. He coldly snorted and sent out his spiritual sense to sense the Rogue Cultivator Island. Immediately, his face turned ugly. As Zhou Dekang said, Rogue Cultivator Island was still on Rogue Cultivator Island but Ning Yuxuan wasn't. He had followed Ning Yuxuan for many years and was well aware of his temperament. He wouldn't easily leave the island even if he had something to say.

This was the first time Wang Jian encountered such a situation, so there were only two possibilities. The first was that Ning Yuxuan had to leave due to an urgent matter, so he didn't have time to explain the reason. The second was that Ning Yuxuan was killed and the island master was replaced. From Zhou Dekang's words just now, he could tell that the second possibility was very likely. But now that he thought about it, he realized that there was no such possibility.

If Ning Yuxuan was killed, he would definitely fight before he died. However, the sacred art of a Core Formation Stage expert was still insignificant. Even when cultivating in the hidden rooms of the Rogue Cultivator Island, he could clearly feel it. Wang Jian had not been able to sense the powerful spells being cast on the island, which meant that Ning Yuxuan did not fight. Since there were no signs of him fighting, why did he regard the island, which was more important than his life, as giving up?

All of these thoughts flashed through his mind. Wang Jian was almost certain that Ning Yuxuan didn't die, but rather had something to do with his departure. There was only one possibility for him to suddenly leave, and that was that it was related to his younger brother. Wang Jian knew that although Ning Yuxuan didn't like his little brother, she didn't want to die for no reason at all.

Because Ning Yuxuan's brother had left, Ning Yuheng's men appeared here. The answer was obvious, and Ning Yuheng told him to call the Island Lord away, then told him to announce the Island Master's change and swindle the Head Supervisor's jade token away. This way, even if Ning Yuheng found out about it afterwards, it wouldn't be because he took the jade token back.

It had to be said that Wang Qiang was very smart. However, when a person was truly too smart, they would often think of simple matters in a very complicated manner. Wang Jian was like this. He had thought too much and came to such a conclusion. He sneered, "Zhou Dekang, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You are here for the Jade Plate."

This was Zhou Dekang's purpose in coming. He did not deny it and nodded, "That's right …"

Hearing this, Wang Jian was even more sure that his previous guess was right. He laughed out loud and said, "I knew it. Your plan is indeed good. If it succeeds, you can indeed become the steward of Rogue Cultivator Island, or you can even become the steward of your Manager Ning. It's a pity that you met me. I saw through your plans so don't even think about obtaining the jade tablet. "

"Ga!"

Zhou Dekang was stunned. After a long while, he finally understood. He forced a smile and said, "Wang Hei Xin, you're thinking too much!"

Wang Jian hated it when people called him that. His face sank as he clenched his fists and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Wang Hei Xin, I'll just call you that, you're even more idiot than me." Zhou Dekang laughed loudly, "Ning Yuheng is already dead. Even if I give him the jade token, he won't be able to become the new manager."

"What did you say? Ning Yuheng is dead?" Although he could not believe it, the fact that Zhou Dekang could call out the owner's name showed that this was most likely true.

"That's right, he's already dead. If you don't believe me, you can use your divine sense to feel him." Zhou Dekang did not dare to speak too arrogantly. After all, Lu Yang had not come yet. If he talked too much and got angry, Wang Jian might just kill him out of anger. That was exactly the case. Zhou Dekang had become smarter and changed the topic to talk about Ning Yuheng.

Wang Jian really wanted to know why Ning Yuheng died. This was the Rogue Cultivator Island, and everyone on the island knew that Ning Yuheng had an island lord and big brother, so no one dared to offend him. Right now, Ning Yuxuan was not here. Did he really leave the island because of his brother's death? But, who would have the guts to dare to kill on the Rogue Cultivator Island?

As the saying goes, if you are alive, you want to see people; if you are dead, you want to see corpses.

Wang Jian spread out his divine sense and quickly covered the entire island. He felt the area with the aura of death and quickly found a lot of bodies. There were cultivators who died in battle, women who committed suicide after being humiliated, and elderly people who passed away. When he found Ning Yuheng miserably dying in a courtyard, he couldn't help but gasp. Ning Yuheng's death was truly too tragic.

"How did he die?" Wang Qiang was starting to believe Zhou Dekang. Who knew if the owner of the Rogue Cultivator Island had already changed.

Seeing that the other party believed him, Zhou Dekang laughed and said, "I'll tell you the truth then. My Master has already obtained the Island Master's jade token and has become the new Island Master."

"Is that true?" Wang Qiang stared into Zhou Dekang's eyes, trying to discern something from them.

Zhou Dekang snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "Why would I lie to you? With your current status, there is no reason for me to lie to you."

Wang Jian looked at Zhou Dekang for a long time but still couldn't see anything in his eyes. His brows twitched as he said, "You came for the jade plate. If I give you the jade plate, will your master let me go?"

"I'm not sure about that. You have to ask my master." Zhou Dekang did not dare to casually agree, his life was still in Lu Yang's hands!

"Where is your master?" Wang Jian used his spiritual sense to sense the movements on the island, but he didn't find a powerful existence that could kill Ning Yuxuan. Of course, he discovered that he had neglected the few cultivators that were flying this way. Those people's cultivation were too low, so it was impossible for them to kill Ning Yuxuan.

Just then, a few rays of light quickly arrived. Zhou Dekang pointed to the sky and said, "Master is already here. Ask him yourself."

Lu Yang and the rest landed. Wang Jian had discovered them earlier, and now that the three people appeared in front of them, he was stunned. The cultivation bases of these three people were truly too low. A cauldron, a Qi Disciple level 1, and the best cultivator was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, much lower than him. Wang Jian could not believe that such a person could actually kill Ning Yuheng.

Seeing that Zhou Dekang wasn't joking around, Wang Jian became even more confused and asked, "Zhou Dekang, are all of them your masters?"

"Are you stupid!?" Zhou Dekang said boldly, "Can you recognize three people as masters?"

Before Wang Qiang clearly understood the strength of Lu Yang's group, he did not dare to speak carelessly. Naturally, he would not be angry and continued, "Could it be that the woman is your master?"

Zhou Dekang snorted coldly and said, "Are you blind? My master is wearing a jade plate on his waist, haven't you seen it yet? "

Wang Jian had already seen it and said it on purpose, so he suddenly said, "Oh! So he is your master! His cultivation does not seem to be very high either. " While he was speaking, he had been observing Lu Yang's expression. Seeing that his expression did not change and his expression was neither sad nor happy, he knew that this person was very shrewd and was not an ordinary cultivator.

Wang Jian knew that he couldn't easily offend such a cultivator and it would be best to stay as far away as possible. However, he wasn't willing to give up his position as the manager of Rogue Cultivator Island. With his cultivation level, he could take down an island master, but there was simply too much oil on the island. How much spiritual energy he gathered every year was not his decision. He would hand over a portion and take the rest.

All these years, Wang Jian had been hoarding countless spirit stones. Of these spirit stones, some he had purchased, and some he had used to increase his cultivation base. If he got his own island, even if he obtained a lot of spirit stones, he would have to live in fear. If an expert attacked the island master, he would not be able to escape death.

It was exactly like that that Wang Jian wanted to see Lu Yang's reaction before making his next move.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang's expression didn't change, but Zhou Dekang was still furious. He coldly snorted and said, "Wang Hei Xin, I think you're courting death. How dare you say such words in front of my master?"

"I'm just speaking the truth." Wang Qiang looked at Lu Yang and cupped his fist, "Island Lord, this new Head Steward Zhou Dekang is not suitable. He doesn't know how to be a good Head Steward."

"He's not suitable, but neither are you." Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

Wang Jian did not catch the meaning behind his words and continued, "Island Lord, there is no one who doesn't think that I am more suitable. After being the Head Supervisor for so many years, I have visited every inch of the Rogue Cultivator Island."

"You must have been quite greedy all these years!" Lu Yang seemed to have seen through his thoughts and sneered, "Don't say anything more. Put down the jade token and you can leave the Rogue Cultivator Island."

Wang Jian did not have any intention of taking down the jade token. He coldly looked at Lu Yang and said, "If you can kill Ning Yuheng, you may not be able to kill me. Fellow Daoist, are you really forcing me to do it?" With that, he released a powerful aura and his cultivation level also quickly increased. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Zhou Dekang was shocked and he couldn't help but ask, "You're hiding your cultivation?"

Lu Yang's expression remained the same, as if he knew that Qin Wentian was concealing his cultivation. He asked, "Is that it?"

"Such a deep shrewdness. He actually didn't even frown when he saw that I was concealing my aura." Wang Jian thought like this in his heart, but said, "My cultivation level is higher than yours, so even if you have a powerful magic treasure, you still might not be able to kill me." "I think it's better this way. Wouldn't it be better if you became your Island Master, and I my steward, and we shared our wealth together?"

"That's what you told the previous Island Lord!" Lu Yang laughed coldly a few times and said word by word, "What if I say no?"

A trace of killing intent flashed through Wang Jian's eyes. He clenched his fists and said, "If you refuse, then you will regret it for the rest of your life."
