The houses looked strange, but the people walking on the road seemed quite normal. They appeared no different from Fade and the others.
Besides, the inner island's residents seemed to have already gotten used to the visitors. They were not curious about Fade and the others' arrival at all.
Instead, they looked at them with condescending, arrogant stares.
After a moment of realization, Fade thought that the inner island's residents did have the right to be arrogant. That was because, even the passersby walking on the street actually possessed the strength of the late stage of the Earth Level to the middle stage of the Heaven Level.
Any of them could become Martial Arts Masters if they were to come to any city on earth.
However, on the inner island, they were no different from ordinary residents. They shopped, bought vegetables, and drank tea just like any common resident would.
"The people in the inner island are so powerful. Any one of them is a Heaven Level master," a disciple from a small real martial arts family, Luth, could not help but exclaim.
However, just as he finished speaking, the man with the long sword, Bryson, turned around and slapped him across the face. He shouted coldly, "Who gave you permission to spy on the inner island's residents?"
”1-1 was only..." Lutfi wanted to explain.
However, Bryson glared at him and shouted in a harsh voice, "You have been disqualified. Take him away."
"No! I'm sorry, I..." Lutfi's face blanched as he struggled to explain. However, a guard rushed over immediately and punched him in the stomach. The disciple curled into a ball, unable to speak. Then, he was instantly taken away without a word.
The rest of the people kept quiet when they saw this scene. None of them dared to make a sound out of fear.
Bryson sized up the crowd with a serious face and said coldly, "I don't care if you come from the secular world or from the outer island. It makes no difference to me."
"This is the inner island, and it is where the real masters of Prohibition Island live. It's not a place for you to show off."
"Don't attempt anything you've done outside. Behave yourselves. You must do what I tell you to do. Don't try to do anything that I did not tell you to do."
"Otherwise, if you offend any one of the people here, you will die."
"Do you understand?"
Bryson asked.
"Understood!" The crowd replied in unison, their faces turning pale.
"It's good that you understand! Hmph!" Bryson snorted and continued leading them forward.
Having learned the lesson from the incident just now, the group of people grew even quieter. They didn't even dare to look around them, afraid that they might accidentally offend the people of the inner island and lose their lives.
After walking for about half an hour in fear, Bryson suddenly stopped and announced, "Here we are!"
Everyone stopped moving, then looked up upon hearing the announcement. They saw a massive three-story building in front of them.
The building was made of a mixture of stone and wood, and its corners and edges looked peculiar. However, as a whole, it seemed to give off a weird sense of fluidity.
Before the crowd got to admire the building in detail, Bryson handed the matters over to the guards at the door.
"Alright, let's go in."
After that, Bryson left without saying anything more.
Then, the guard led everyone into the building.
The interior of the building was spacious. The group of people were amazed to see numerous seats filling the massive area.
After a long while, the sound of footsteps echoed at the entrance, and then the door creaked open.
"Get up. Your captain has arrived," a guard said.
Everyone got up from their beds and stood up in an instant, then turned their heads towards the door.
A middle- aged man in a green robe stood behind the guard and he walked into the room with his hands behind his back. He seemed to have a friendly face.
The guard glanced at the man and introduced him to the crowd. "This is Mr. Lucio Lou from Poison Cloud Hall. From now on, he will be your captain during this period of the inner island's test. Is that clear?"
"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison with serious expressions.
Lucio smiled, then gently waved his hand and said, "You are our guests from afar. Please, don't be so stressed and relax. If you have any questions, you may come and ask me."
The guards quietly retreated upon seeing his response.
Lucio's friendly attitude had eased the tension in the room in an instant. The group of people began greeting him one after another.
"Greetings, Mr. Lou!"
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lou!"
After exchanging pleasantries with the guests, Lucio looked at them and said, "You've just arrived today. Please have a rest first. The test will officially begin tomorrow." "Your accommodation might be a little shabby, but I believe that since we are all cultivators, this tiny challenge shouldn't be a problem. You should all be able to get used to it within a few days."
"No problem!" Many of them quickly replied.
Lucio smiled and said, "It's good that you have no problems. Of course, you may also voice out if you encounter any issues. I am your captain, so I will help you solve your problems. You may ask me anything."
