Ye Li could tell at a glance that this ball of spiritual energy was obviously a shell from the spirit gathering cannon.
Although the power of this spiritual energy shell is not small, it has little impact on a master of Ye Li's level.
Ye Li casually crushed the spiritual energy shell, then smiled and kicked the deck with his feet. He then flew into the air and shot towards the place where the spiritual energy cannon had just attacked him.
In an instant, Ye Li broke through the fog and instantly stood in front of a rock wall facing the sea of Pushan Island.
There was a small opening on the rock wall next to him, and in the opening was a spirit gathering cannon. Next to the spirit gathering cannon was a talisman master who was sitting on the ground because he was frightened by Ye Li.
Ye Li glanced at the Spirit Gathering Cannon and asked, "Is the Spirit Gathering Cannon now controlled by Spirit Stones?"
The talisman master sitting on the ground had no idea that the person he was attacking was a master in the Divine Appearance Stage, and his heart was filled with panic.
After hearing Ye Li's question, he swallowed and did not answer. Instead, he sat aside with fear on his face and gritting his teeth.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood that the other party mistakenly thought he was an enemy who invaded Pushan Island. After being captured, he had no intention of leaking the information on the island and remained tight-lipped.
Ye Li nodded and said, "I am not your enemy. I am also a member of the island. In other words, it was I who proposed to build this stronghold."
Seeing the look of disbelief on the other person's face, Ye Li couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "You are loyal to your duties, so I won't pursue anything from you. Instead, I will reward you."
While Ye Li was speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the rock wall next to him, and a team of fully armed talisman masters rushed out and surrounded Ye Li with murderous intent.
The talisman master who was just sitting on the ground turned over and stood up, turned around and controlled the spirit gathering cannon, intending to fire another shot at Ye Li.
"Stop, everyone stop, Ye Li is one of us!!!"
Suddenly a familiar voice sounded, and Ye Li couldn't help but look over with joy on his face, only to see a slightly plump figure appear not far away. It was Ye Li's second senior brother Niu Qianjin.
"Second Brother!!!"
Ye Li greeted Niu Qianjin with joy on his face, and Niu Qianjin smiled and nodded at him.
The guards around naturally knew Niu Qianjin's identity. After all, the only people in charge here, besides the Lang family, were Ou Qianxie and a few others.
As Ou Qianxie's second disciple and a top-level weaponsmith, Niu Qianjin was naturally responsible for a large part of the casting affairs on the island.
Ou Qianxie and Pei Ku had a lot of things to deal with, so it was impossible for them to stay on the island all the time. The casting on the island was basically managed by Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong.
After hearing what Niu Qianjin said, the guards quickly withdrew their hands and stood aside respectfully. When they looked at Ye Li, although there was no hostility in their eyes, there was no apology either.
"Ye Li, they didn't know your identity, so they attacked you. Don't be angry!"
Niu Qianjin said to Ye Li with a smile.
Ye Li nodded and said, "How could I be angry if they are dedicated to guarding against the invasion of outsiders
I would be really angry if they ignored a stranger like me."
Hearing Ye Li's words, the guards' expressions changed slightly, and when they looked at Ye Li again, there was a hint of kindness in their eyes.
Niu Qianjin also smiled and nodded, then said to the guards: “Ye Li is the initiator of building this stronghold, he is also my fourth junior brother, and he is also the special elder of the Lang family.
His position here is higher than mine, so please don't attack him next time."
The guards were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Ye Li with a lot more respect in their eyes. They didn't expect that the young man in front of them would have such a high status on the island.
Afterwards, Niu Qianjin dismissed the guards and asked them to return to their respective positions, while he took Ye Li and walked towards the depths of Pushan Island.
"Who are these guards? Aren't they from the Lang family?"
Ye Li asked with some curiosity.
Niu Qianjin shook his head and said, “No, they are not from the Lang family, nor are they from my Weapon Foundry, but from Tai’an Villa.
Tai'an Villa is a fourth-rank force, and their owner Li Chang'an is a good friend of the master.
Not long ago, Tai'an Villa suffered a disaster of annihilation. The murderer was none other than the people from the Dahuntian organization. When the master rushed to rescue, he only saved a small number of people from Tai'an Villa. Most of their disciples had already been killed in the enemy's attack.
The remaining group of people hated the people of the Dahuntian organization to the core because they had experienced the tragedy of their entire family being wiped out.
The master knew that they had a strong desire for revenge and would never surrender to the enemy, so he simply brought them all to the island.
They feel a sense of belonging to our secret organization that will fight against Dahuntian to the end, so they took on the task of protecting the island. As for the effect, you have just seen it. "
After hearing what Niu Qianjin said, Ye Li nodded and said, "So that's how it is. People like them who are full of hostility towards the Great Soul Heaven Organization are exactly what we need.
It is acceptable for this island to develop slowly, the only thing that is unacceptable is the existence of spies.
Everything here is a secret, and that’s absolutely the most important thing.”
Niu Qianjin nodded and said, “That’s right, Master and Senior Lang Taotian also said so.
Look at the fog on our island. It is the formation set up by Master and Senior Lang Taotian. It has a certain concealing effect, so that people from a distance cannot see any traces of human presence on our island.
This formation is just roughly laid out now. Later, Master will make several large formations to make the entire island impregnable. It will be very difficult for outsiders to discover or invade this place."
After hearing Niu Qianjin's words, Ye Li finally realized that the fog on the island came from the operation of the formation.
This very natural formation fog really deceived Ye Li's perception. He did not notice the existence of the formation here at all.
It seems that Ou Qianxie's attainments in formation are indeed very high, and Ye Li is still far behind his master.
Both of them walked slowly, and after a while, Ye Li arrived in front of the slightly larger hill that he and Lang Taotian had chosen before.
There are several large holes on all sides of the bottom of this hill, and people go in and out of the holes from time to time. There are also large holes at the foot of several other hills nearby. It seems that something has been dug out in the belly of these hills.
