Now, with Jiang Chen at ease, Zeng Xianyi felt even more confident. He recalled the time when Jiang Chen, with the might of a single sword, had slain the Saint Witch Sect Leader and even split a mountain in half. With a powerful figure like Jiang Chen around, anyone would feel secure.
"That's fine," Jiang Chen nodded. If a resolution could be reached without conflict, that would be ideal, though he held little hope for it.
"Mr. Jiang, Ye Jian Sheng, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's have a meal first," Zeng Xianyi suggested.
"I've already eaten," Jiang Chen replied.
"You've already eaten?" Zeng Xianyi was taken aback, unable to believe it. After all, Jiang Chen had been underwater last night. Had he eaten down there? Raw fish?
"However, I wouldn't mind having a little more," Jiang Chen smiled.
Zeng Xianyi dismissed his doubts and quickly instructed someone to prepare food. The meals on the warship were indeed quite good.
Jiang Chen chose not to mention the underwater treasure, and Zeng Xianyi didn’t inquire further. After finishing their meal, the group returned to the deck where soldiers brought chairs for them to sit and wait for Yang Jigong's return.
The weather at sea could change in an instant; just moments ago it had been clear skies, but now dark clouds gathered, blocking out the sunlight and casting shadows over the horizon. The wind howled fiercely as waves surged, causing the warship to sway with the tide.
"The weather forecast said there would be a minor storm today; it shouldn't be a big issue," Zeng Xianyi remarked.
Jiang Chen wasn't particularly concerned about the weather; such fluctuations were trivial for those at sea, let alone for him. His gaze drifted downward, peering into the depths of the ocean as he contemplated the piece of sky-repairing stone belonging to the Sea God Clan.
The Sea God Clan had once been an island in this ocean thousands of years ago. With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, Jiang Chen believed it would be best to restore the island rather than remain hidden beneath the waves. Though isolated from the world below, staying underwater was ultimately stagnant.
Of course, Jiang Chen primarily considered his own Sect; this secluded paradise of the Sea God Clan was quite expansive and retained its primitive beauty—ideal for establishing a Sect headquarters.
However, residing underwater indefinitely was impractical; it would require vast amounts of Spiritual Energy to maintain formations and waste a precious piece of sky-repairing stone. Frankly speaking, there was no need for that—once Earth’s Spiritual Energy revived, hiding beneath the sea would no longer be necessary.
Suddenly, the sound of helicopter blades slicing through the air broke his thoughts. Yang Jigong had finished negotiations and was returning by helicopter.
Jiang Chen glanced toward the United States warship where some Americans stood alongside several Islanders. Among them was a middle-aged man in an Island Nation general's uniform and military boots named Koyama Satoru, who surprisingly recognized Jiang Chen.
Last time Jiang Chen was in Island Nation defeating Eastern Deity, Koyama Satoru had been nearby with his men observing the battle. It turned out that someone from the Takeda Family had reported to authorities hoping they would capture Jiang Chen to avenge Takeda Dairō. Koyama Satoru, responsible for public security, was furious upon hearing that a Huaxia person was acting so arrogantly in his country. However, after learning that Jiang Chen had gone after Eastern Deity, Koyama Satoru reconsidered his approach to confront Jiang Chen directly. After all, according to descriptions from Takeda Family members, Jiang Chen was not someone easy to deal with. Moreover, authorities generally preferred not to interfere in martial affairs. Thus, eliminating Jiang Chen through Eastern Deity seemed like the best course of action.
Yet what he witnessed through binoculars that day shocked Koyama Satoru: Eastern Deity could not match up against Jiang Chen and was ultimately defeated by him. The powers displayed by Jiang Chen were enough to intimidate Koyama Satoru into retreating; such a plague-like figure was one he wished to avoid confrontation with at all costs.
