Chapter 441 The Special Existence of Nathan Island
As they chatted and laughed, Morian and Cang Yue arrived with their people to search for Xuan Yue and the others at Nason Island.
Naturally, I'll attend the banquet while I'm on my way.
Nathan Island, the island of the strange, was originally in the Roman era and worshipped the forest god. They were later expelled to the island. The sacred object is the sacred tree. All children born on the island are strange people. The islanders are mostly strange people who have nowhere else to go and whose identities have been revoked by various countries.
This island is almost completely isolated from the world and has its own unique rules. Although it is nominally governed by King Nathan, each island is actually independent and lives its own life without interfering with the others.
The reason I say "almost" is because this isolated island still needs to exchange supplies with the outside world.
This time, King Nathan personally took action, and his stated goal was the same. He even went so far as to approach the Great Xia. The old Dongs from Nadutong guessed that his appetite might be quite large this time.
That's what they say, but these are all things that can be done anywhere, and the issues that other foreign supernatural forces deal with are not of much concern to Li Muyang and his group.
Therefore, in the venue, you could see Li Muyang and the three women strolling around with great interest, tasting the food.
Incidentally, today's head chef is still Hong Xiudie's second uncle, and this time Hong Xiudie can only assist him.
Of Hong Anguo's three sons, only this one inherited his culinary skills, followed by Hong Xiudie. The remaining two sons and other younger generations all have their own lives and hobbies.
His skills are undeniable, but his potential for development may not be as great as Hong Xiudie's. It's inevitable that he will be surpassed in the future, but right now, Hong Xiudie is definitely no match for his second uncle.
It's worth mentioning that Li Muyang's fame is currently limited to Asia, but that doesn't mean people outside the region don't know him. On the contrary, several people want to do business with him, especially the people from the US federal government who came this time.
But... strangely, every time they tried to approach Li Muyang to say hello, they would inexplicably turn around and go somewhere else halfway there, and by the time they realized it, they had already moved far away from Li Muyang and his group.
After trying several times with the same result, even the most naive person would understand that Li Muyang didn't want to deal with them, so he had no choice but to give up.
It's understandable that he felt dissatisfied. Ron Keller, a director of Behemoth, an organization of superhumans from the United States, originally wanted to take this opportunity to win over or at least become familiar with Li Muyang. After all, the temptation of immortality alone is enough to make everyone drool over a true cultivator of immortality.
Not to mention the power Li Muyang wields, the video recordings of his numerous actions, and the recent video of the three women's actions, all of which are on the desks of the high-ranking members of various supernatural organizations.
Of course, Ron didn't consider himself a greedy person. He believed his purpose was noble: the development of all humanity! If they could obtain this technology that allowed living beings to live forever, then all of humanity could evolve and develop.
This is for the freedom and justice of all mankind!
But now even the first step is problematic; he can't even get close to Li Muyang.
At this point, he did have another option: to shout an introduction at Li Muyang. However, doing so would inevitably make him seem very impolite. Moreover, Li Muyang could pretend not to hear it, and other organizations that were at odds with Behemoth would certainly laugh at him or interfere.
Ron could only bear it. Oh well, he'd wait until he met King Nathan before making a decision.
After a while, King Nathan finally arrived.
"President Ishikawa, don't be surprised later," Erii reminded the four members of the Fish Dragon Society, relaying Li Muyang's words.
Ishikawa Shin and the other three were taken aback. What was the matter?
Turning his head, he saw the Nason Island group, led by Zhang Chulan who was sweating profusely, and Nason King, who was being flattered in the middle. All four of them also broke out in a cold sweat.
What's going on? Where is King Nathan?
Hmm, how could they not recognize her! Isn't that Feng Baobao being complimented by everyone as she enters?
Ishikawa Shin wiped away his cold sweat, finally understanding why Li Muyang had Erii come over personally to remind him.
If we hadn't been reminded, our group would have been exposed.
Although he didn't know much about the situation, Feng Baobao's impersonation of King Nathan must have been agreed upon by the people of Nathan Island, because the guards surrounding her were indeed King Nathan's bodyguards. So Ishikawa Shin reacted quickly, quickly putting himself into the role, and calmly went over to greet her.
Shocked by this unexpected turn of events, Zhao Fangxu could only wipe away his cold sweat and accept reality. Good heavens, Feng Baobao has become King Nathan? It feels like Nathan Island is doomed!
Zhang Chulan: Please, please don't give it away! Sis! Please, please don't suddenly try to be clever!
Faced with this situation, Li Muyang naturally went over to say hello, and his appearance made everyone more convinced of Nathan's identity. Well, this guy couldn't possibly have mistaken him, right?
Li Muyang [?_??]: Huh? When did my reputation become so good?
There were more than just one or two people present who knew Feng Baobao's identity! Besides the Fish-Dragon Society, there was also Xuan Yue and her group. They couldn't get in touch with the higher-ups of the supernatural forces like Li Muyang, but they could with Xuan Yue's group. Even though many were wary of Xuan Yue's character and conduct, some of them were bold enough to come forward.
Despite Feng Baobao impersonating King Nasen, Xuan Yue and her group remained unfazed and accepted her identity.
As a result, those who had initially questioned his identity silently suppressed their thoughts.
Then there's Feng Baobao's performance, that self-centered attitude that's unaffected by anyone or anything else, which is another kind of power of discourse, because most people can't do that! The only ones in the whole room who could do that were probably Li Muyang and his group.
Everyone present "knew" Old Li's identity: the true immortal was an ancient Qi cultivator who possessed immense power! Only such a person had the right to be arrogant and disdainful of everyone.
Understand that being indifferent to others is not necessarily arrogance; it could also mean viewing everyone equally and treating everyone the same.
This composure is something only the Nathan King, Li Muyang, or rather, extraordinary individuals should possess, as seen by others.
The incident at the banquet was barely managed to be covered up. Zhao Fangxu also learned what had happened from Zhang Chulan. They had all been framed by this Nason King. Nason King deliberately made Feng Baobao her stand-in, and there must be other hidden reasons behind it.
Zhao Fangxu could only smile wryly and become more vigilant; it seemed this matter was going to be very troublesome!
If nothing else, there will be an accident.
That very night, Feng Baobao, who was acting as Nathan's double, was assassinated.
Why did you have to pick Feng Baobao of all people to assassinate?
Aside from Li Muyang and his group and the four Xuan Yue siblings, Feng Baobao was definitely the most difficult person to assassinate.
It's at least a weakened version of the immortal body.
Her perception and other abilities are not something others can easily exploit; her overall scores are ridiculously high.
It's important to know that Feng Baobao usually holds back.
The shadowy assassin was discovered by Feng Baobao as soon as he infiltrated the area, and naturally, things went awry from there. One of the two Nathan guards acting as bodyguards could even glow, perfectly countering the shadowy assassin's abilities.
Halfway there, they encountered two more disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion. Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu immediately cast a Golden Light Spell, which backfired on the shadowy assassin.
His ability is the shadow, which is a kind of evil spirit's means, and is severely countered by the power of the Yang attribute.
Finally, when he tried to escape, he had terrible luck and encountered the compassionate Xiao Zizai in the stairwell of the emergency exit.
The ending is self-evident; thank you, Brother Xiao, for holding back.
Let us observe three seconds of silence for this assassin.
3, 2, 1.
After Feng Baobao was assassinated, Nathan Wang also made a formal appearance, a girl who looked Asian?
Anyway, she doesn't look very old.
Indeed, the real King Nathan came forward and explained the reasons and causes for his actions.
According to the rules of Nathan Island, to become the King of Nathan, one must either have the previous King of Nathan die and have the sacred tree of Nathan Island identify the next king, or one must break off a golden branch from the sacred tree and kill the current King of Nathan.
As the young girl, Nathan, explained the reason on stage, Xuan Yue silently communicated with Li Muyang in the mental space they had created using their spiritual power.
"Old Li, so you've got your eye on their treasure?" Xuan Yue asked casually. "That's not a good situation!"
Li Muyang replied calmly, "That's not necessarily true. They might even have to thank us in the end."
"You're just bragging." Xuan Yue rolled her eyes, but she believed Li Muyang's words. She was just curious about what Li Muyang would do next!
How to do it? Li Muyang originally planned to be the bad guy and just go in and rob it.
But after seeing Behemoth and the other Inhumans, he suddenly changed his mind.
The entire Nathan Island system, the people of the Divine Tree lineage, are in some ways no different from a group of religious believers; their loyalty to the Divine Tree has reached an outrageous level.
All the Nathan Kings and Nathan Kings, and even the followers of the Divine Tree, are a group of fanatical believers who are willing to sacrifice everything for the Divine Tree, including themselves.
Is this the sin committed by the sacred tree? Is it the source of all evil?
Not necessarily.
The sacred tree is actually similar to a god of faith. Everything about it, except its instincts, is based on the will of its believers. Among its more important believers are King Nathan and Nathan Guard.
Originally, Li Muyang thought that by destroying the divine tree, the group of fanatical believers would also end, at least severing their thoughts from this generation. However, recalling the development of the original plot, he realized that this idea was absolutely wrong.
Even if he completely destroys this sacred tree, these Nathan Kings and Nathan Guards will form a second sacred tree.
King Nathan is loyal to the Divine Tree, and the Nathan Guards are loyal to the King. This is part of the underlying code of the Divine Tree lineage on Nathan Island.
Difficult to change!
Therefore, simply destroying Nathan Island and the Divine Tree is not enough to completely end them, unless it's like the Bean Paste!
Li Muyang didn't consider himself a great philanthropist, but he didn't want to kill and steal treasures casually. After all, this was a modern society governed by the rule of law, because, as things stood, there might be another way for him to take the divine tree.
