Gigi was still clueless that Darryl was very strong—so strong and powerful beyond her imagination!
…
On the sea of The Nine Mainland, Ambrose and Neil steered the small boat and finally arrived near the Dragon King Island after following the ship for half a day.
It was evening, and they could see many look-out posts on the island's beach area. There were also some sharks near the bay. The entire island was closely guarded.
Neil frowned at the island and said, "Ambrose, we're outnumbered. I don't think we can even make it onto the island if we just go without a plan."
Neil could not contain the shock he felt.
Rumor had it that the Sea Dragon Palace had integrated every pirate on the ocean. They had strong abilities. Neil used to think someone exaggerated the story, but from the looks of it, the rumor was real.
With the number of people on the island, he was afraid that they could not even conquer it even if everyone from the Eternal Life Palace Sect and Elysium Gate was there.
Ambrose took a deep breath, and his face looked solemn. "It's almost dark. We could find a chance to board the island when night falls."
Ambrose was extremely anxious as Heather could be in danger of being captured here. His heart told him that he needed to rush to save her, but he successfully calmed himself down. It would be a suicide mission if he and Neil rushed into the island to rescue Heather without a plan.
"Okay."
Neil nodded and steered the boat with Ambrose to hide it among the coral reef.
As time passed, the sky turned dark. Ambrose and Neil found an opportunity when the guards at the look-out post changed shifts. They secretly boarded the island and went toward the cluster of palaces in the middle of the island.
Under the dark night, the cluster of palaces lit up the sky as if it was morning.
Ambrose and Neil were very diligent. Even so, they only managed to move less than 700 feet forward. There were too many look-out posts on the way, and many guards patrolled the surroundings.
