Over the years, the Central Continent and the Inner Sea Region have been at odds, but the Central Continent has always had the upper hand over the Inner Sea Region. This is because the overall strength of the Central Continent surpasses that of the Inner Sea Region, especially in auxiliary arts such as alchemy, talismans, artifact crafting, and formations. The Central Continent is unafraid of the Inner Sea Region.

However, the Inner Sea Region has produced the Min clan, whose talent in the art of formations is not inferior to that of the Central Continent. Moreover, due to the ancient formation scroll that the Min clan's ancestor obtained in the Thousand Islands Secret Realm many years ago, the Min clan is on the brink of a breakthrough.

"So the Min clan is that formidable," said Ning Jichen, looking somewhat worriedly at Wen Qiao.

Wen Qiao pursed her lips and asked, "Eldest Senior Sister, is there any other news?"

Qin Hongdao hesitated for a moment before continuing, "We made a special effort to inquire today and heard that the Min clan has four women of the Su generation. The most renowned among them is the only daughter of the current clan leader, Min Mubei—Min Sulin."

Everyone was stunned.

The names Min Sulin and Min Sudie differ by only one character, indicating they are sisters, or at least cousins of the Su generation. They could be biological sisters or cousins.

"Min Sulin is the clan leader's daughter, while Min Sujie, Min Suxi, and Min Suxiao are from other direct lines," Qin Hongdao said. "Among the women of the Su generation, there is no mention of Min Sudie."

Wen Qiao slightly furrowed her brows.

Ning Yuzhou asked, "Eldest Senior Sister, is there really no information about Min Sudie?"

"None," Qin Hongdao said regretfully. "According to the person who gave us the information, the Min clan has no record of a person named Min Sudie."

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Could it be that when little sister Qiao's mother was abandoned, she was too young, so the Min clan thought she was dead and didn't publicly acknowledge her existence?" Shi Wuming speculated.

Of course, there's also the possibility that Min Sudie was deliberately abandoned by the Min clan.

Either way, both are possible.

"Is there anything else?" Ning Yuzhou asked again.

Qin Hongdao spread her hands helplessly and said, "Ning Yuzhou, this is all the information we could gather. It's said that the Min clan operates with great discretion. Even in the Inner Sea Region, there isn't much information about the Min clan, and outsiders don't know much about them. As you know, the Min clan has a King-level formation master. They can casually set up a formation to hide the clan's territory, making it impossible for anyone to find the Min clan's settlement..."

There is a rumor in Shangzhou Island: through clouds, mist, and rain, only members of the Min clan can see and enter.

Chuanyun Island and Wuyu Island are the Min clan's territories. Apart from the Min clan members themselves, no one can enter, nor do they know their location.

The Min clan is shrouded in mystery throughout the Inner Sea Region, likely due to their formations. Those formation masters can use their craft to make themselves incredibly enigmatic.

"The only aspect in which the Min clan is somewhat ostentatious is Min Sulin. It's said that she is the number one beauty of the Inner Sea Region, with followers as numerous as the fish in the sea—enough to line up from Zhongzhou Island to Xiazhou Island. Of course, that's an exaggeration, but it shows the significance of being the number one beauty in the Inner Sea Region," Qin Hongdao joked.

Given the Min clan's status on Shangzhou Island and their mastery of formations, it's no wonder the Inner Sea Region holds Min Sulin in such high regard.

Wen Tuti couldn't help but say, "This number one beauty surely doesn't hold a candle to our sister."

Wen Guangun eagerly agreed. The little sprout is the most beautiful, with its tender green leaves and rich botanical fragrance, and a bloodline even nobler than the Divine Tree. No one can compare to the little sprout.

Shi Wuming teased them, "That's not necessarily true. Although little sister Qiao is very beautiful, the mother who gave birth to such a beauty must also be as beautiful as a flower. And since little sister Qiao's mother is from the Min clan—the Min clan members are probably all handsome men and beautiful women."

They are all from the same family, so it's only natural they are equally beautiful.

Therefore, Min Sulin should live up to her reputation as the number one beauty.

Wen Tuti glared at him angrily, "No, sister is the most beautiful!"

Seeing that the human and the beast were about to fight over who was the most beautiful, Ning Jichen quickly stepped in to separate them. He took out a box of spirit fruits and handed it to Wen Tuti to prevent the child from really jumping up and beating Shi Wuming.

Wen Tuti fiercely gnawed on the spirit fruit, continuing to glare at Shi Wuming until he conceded that sister Wen was the most beautiful.

Qin Hongdao and the others ignored the commotion between Shi Wuming and Wen Tuti, continuing to discuss matters related to the Min clan.

"Little Sister Wen, if you're thinking of directly confronting the Min clan, it's likely impossible. I've heard that many who sought revenge against the Min clan have never succeeded, after all, they can't even locate the place, so they wouldn't know where to strike."

Wen Tuti was immediately anxious, "How can that be? I was planning to have the sea beasts surround their island..."

That’s a pretty ruthless plan!

Everyone looked at Wen Qiao and Wen Tuti, suddenly recalling how the two of them had been whispering with that ninth-grade overlord octopus for a long time. Could it be that they were already planning it back then?

In the Endless Sea, the number of sea beasts is countless! If the sea beasts really organized an attack on the island, it would be quite a challenge for the cultivators.

"That's a pretty good idea," Shi Wuming clapped his hands in delight.

Wen Tuti proudly raised her head, "Right? That's something my sister and I came up with."

In fact, to command the sea beasts to attack, Wen Qiao would need to step forward, as no beast could resist the temptation of the Divine Emperor Clan's bloodline. No matter what beast it is, most would instinctively be drawn to her.

Facing everyone's gaze, Wen Qiao wore a cold expression.

Everyone understood that she still held a grudge over her parents' death; otherwise, the usually obedient Little Sister Wen wouldn't have thought of such tactics.

Shi Wuming put his arm around Wen Tuti, "Come on, Sister Wen, let's talk about how to command the sea beasts to attack the island."

Wen Tuti happily said, "Okay, Shi Wuming has a lot of bad ideas, he’s sure to come up with the most outrageous one."

Shi Wuming and Wen Tuti, who were about to fight just now, were now as thick as thieves.

The man and the beast hid in a corner to whisper, and even the usually lazy Wen Guangun moved closer, showing that the beasts also wanted to vent their anger for Little Sister Wen.

Qin Hongdao and the others glanced at the man and the two beasts, and they couldn’t help but laugh.
