"Seal off the area?"
How would you seal off such a vast body of water? Am I to believe that it's done with just this shoddy net? I could get through at any time. Are you simply intimidating the regular mortal fishermen?
At that moment, one of the other officials from the 32nd Island Security Team explained:
"Young man, we're doing this for your own good.
Recently, there have been evil cultivators coming to our mortal realm, specifically to steal the large, nourishing fish from our lakes.
This water area is the territory of the Fish King, and several major families have already lost their spoils to these evil cultivators.
For an ordinary person like you, encountering an evil cultivator in there would mean certain death.
Therefore, it is best to avoid this place for the time being."
Listening to the explanation, Chen Yi felt somewhat reassured. This felt more like the expected attitude of officialdom towards the common man.
"So, when can we come here to fish again?"
