Hongyan had been assigned the mission to Panlong Island by the Federation's higher-ups in advance, proving that those Authority Holders had long anticipated its appearance.
There was definitely more to this island than met the eye.
Lin Yuan felt he needed to take a look.
Now that all the Crawlers nearby had been caught in one fell swoop, and Lin Yuan still had his greatest trump card unused, it was the perfect time to investigate.
The Phantom Lin Yuan soon set sail, following the route Hongyan had taken, and quickly reached the location of Panlong Island he had described.
It was a fairly small stretch of sea, with nothing unusual visible in the surroundings.
Had Hongyan not explained the situation here beforehand, Lin Yuan probably would not have noticed anything unusual even if he had passed through.
Even now, all he saw when he looked out was a calm sea. Where was there any sign of an island?
Fortunately, Hongyan had mentioned that the key to reaching Panlong Island was an inconspicuous ocean current in the shallow waters.
The Phantom Lin Yuan soon submerged and found the current Hongyan had described without much effort.
There was nothing special about this current's size, speed, or direction. At first glance, it looked no different from the ordinary currents found everywhere in the sea.
But the instant Bai Ling saw it, she could not help exclaiming:
"Heavens! H-how could a current like this exist?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan knew Bai Ling could see through spatial distortions from the Lookout Platform. The current she saw was clearly different.
"This... I don't know how to explain it. Captain Lin, see for yourself!"
As she spoke, Bai Ling used the Soul Contract to transmit what she saw.
The next second, the world before Lin Yuan's eyes
