Hearing Zhou Yan's words, a solemn expression appeared between Zhou Batian's eyebrows. "Devil's Island? What kind of place is that?"
"Devil's Island is a mysterious sea area. Legend has it that it holds many rare treasures, but most people who enter this island never come out alive," Zhou Yan explained in a low voice. "Moreover, it is said that there is a super expert guarding the island. I was afraid he would discover me, so I refused his invitation."
"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Zhou Batian asked, frowning.
"Absolutely true, I wouldn't lie to you," Zhou Yan said.
"Since that's the case, then cultivate here well. When you break through to Immortal King, I will let you go," Zhou Batian said indifferently. "However, I must remind you that your current strength is too weak. If you encounter that person named Ye Chen, it's best to retreat immediately. He is a peak late-stage Immortal Venerable. Even a peak Great Perfection Immortal Venerable is no match for him, so don't provoke him."
"I understand," Zhou Yan nodded and then said, "Father, I'm leaving now. If there's anything, I'll inform you."
With that, Zhou Yan turned and left.
Zhou Batian watched Zhou Yan's receding figure, his brow deeply furrowed.
"This brat is becoming more and more useless," Zhou Batian sneered.
"Patriarch, this trip to Devil's Island may not be that simple, right?" At this moment, an elder beside him asked.
Zhou Batian looked at the elder and nodded. "Yes, this Devil's Island may not be that simple. We must be extremely careful. If anything goes wrong, my Zhou family will be utterly destroyed."
"Patriarch, do you think that person named Ye Chen has already discovered Zhou Yan?" an elder asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Batian revealed a smile on his face and said dismissively, "If he knew Zhou Yan was in our Zhou family, he wouldn't let Zhou Yan go. Moreover, I have a way to send Zhou Yan out of the Zhou family, so he will never be able to find Zhou Yan."
Upon hearing this, the elder nodded and no longer pressed further.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
These days, Zhou Yan had been frantically absorbing spiritual energy every day.
"Hoo!" Zhou Yan opened his eyes and exhaled.
"Hoo!" Zhou Yan couldn't help but gasp.
Because Zhou Yan discovered that his cultivation had improved again, bringing him a step closer to breaking through to the late stage of Immortal King.
Although it was only one step, this step was like heaven and earth.
"I'm truly lucky. In just a few days, there has been such a huge improvement. It's truly astonishing!" Zhou Yan muttered to himself.
Afterward, Zhou Yan left the cave and headed outside.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the mountain, he saw the guards stationed outside the cave.
"Young Master, you're out?" A guard saw Zhou Yan emerge and quickly stepped forward.
"Yes, I'm planning to return to the family. You two stay here and don't go out casually," Zhou Yan said.
"Yes, Young Master," the guards quickly nodded in agreement.
Then, Zhou Yan rode the black dragon and flew away from the Zhou family mansion.
"Hoo!"
The black dragon's speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, it appeared a hundred miles away.
After the black dragon stopped, Zhou Yan jumped down.
"Young Master, we're traveling so fast, don't we need to rest?" a guard quickly said.
"No need, I'm in a hurry to find that Ye Chen!" Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Immediately, the black dragon carried Zhou Yan and soared into the sky again.
"Young Master, who exactly is that Ye Chen? Why do you have a grudge against him?" a guard asked curiously.
"That person is Zhou Yan's mortal enemy. No matter what, he must be killed. If this guy isn't eliminated, the consequences will be endless," Zhou Yan said fiercely.
Zhou Yan knew clearly that his strength was far inferior to Ye Chen's. If Ye Chen didn't die, he would become his eternal nightmare, possibly even a lifelong torment.
Therefore, no matter the cost, Zhou Yan was willing to pay any price to eliminate Ye Chen.
"I see." The guards nodded, indicating their understanding of Zhou Yan's decision.
"Young Master, you've been tired these past few days. Why don't we rest for a while at an inn?" a guard suggested.
"No need, I'll head to Devil's Island as soon as possible," Zhou Yan waved his hand and said.
"Young Master, this..." the guard hesitated.
"Alright, stop the nonsense. Just protect yourselves," Zhou Yan waved his hand impatiently.
"Young Master, we will do our best to protect you," the guard said solemnly.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble," Zhou Yan smiled.
With that, Zhou Yan rode the black dragon and sped away into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Big Wind Novel Network
...
After several days of arduous travel, Zhou Yan finally arrived at the location of Devil's Island.
Devil's Island, as the name suggests, is a place where demonic beasts gather, and there are also many demonic beasts on this island, so many formations have been set up around the island.
When Zhou Yan arrived at Devil's Island, he realized how vast it was.
The moment Zhou Yan set foot on Devil's Island, he felt a powerful sense of oppression wash over him.
Around Devil's Island, there were many demonic beasts, all of which were fierce species from the demonic beast realm, and these species were extremely powerful.
The strength of some demonic beasts was comparable to the mid-stage Immortal Lord, and some even reached the early-stage Immortal Emperor.
Such a force, if it wanted to destroy the Zhou family, would be as easy as flipping a hand. Even a small family couldn't withstand the invasion of a demonic beast army.
Zhou Yan landed in a secluded mountain range and then gazed into the distance.
Devil's Island occupied a vast area, stretching as far as the eye could see. Not only was half of the island shrouded in demonic energy, but the other half was covered by forests. Everywhere he looked, there were lush green grasslands, flowing rivers, lakes, and various flowers and trees.
To the south of the island, there was a flat open space where many tents had been set up. In front of each tent stood rows of guards.
Among them, there were also some demonic beasts. Most of these demonic beasts were residents of Devil's Island. These residents were mostly ordinary people, but they possessed powerful physical strength. Some ordinary people could even cultivate using the blood of demonic beasts. However, this demonic beast blood was very precious, so the residents of Devil's Island were very thrifty and never sold it to outsiders. After all, Devil's Island was a forbidden zone, and without strength, even obtaining demonic beast blood would be useless.
Zhou Yan's arrival did not attract the attention of the guards.
