After such a battle, many things need to be handled, but the first priority is to return and defend Three Worlds Island.
During the attack on Zixuan, all forces from Three Worlds Island set out, all five registered Moon Jade cultivators and two thousand cultivators arrived at Zixuan through the green sea conch's portal.
It can be said that at this mont, Three Worlds Island is in a completely unprotected state.
Though carrying the might of this battle, it's unlikely anyone would dare to cause trouble on Three Worlds Island, yet so precautions are necessary.
In fact, realizing that forces from Three Worlds Island had fully deployed to attack Zixuan, many forces were already ready to act, secretly dispatching troops.
Because if Three Worlds Island failed to conquer Zixuan and suffered great losses, they could imdiately seize Three Worlds Island, claiming this treasure land.
Though a few newly ascended Moon Jade cultivators were left behind on Three Worlds Island, they weren't registered, so even if soone attacked, they could only stare helplessly without effective defense.
Of course, now Three Worlds Island has won decisively with an unbelievable overwhelming victory, and those eager forces have all quieted down.
Half a day later, a central battleship slowly ascended from Zixuan, accompanied by two larger battleships, with decks full of Tiger Shark battleships.
This was originally Zixuan's large fleet, which had aggressively deployed to Three Worlds Island days ago, but now it has beco spoils of war.
Two thousand cultivators, with eight hundred mostly injured ones selected, proudly manned the three battleships departing from Zixuan.
This scene made the cultivators watching from a distance filled with envy.
Needless to say, just such a massive central battleship is extrely valuable, and the worth of the entire fleet is unimaginable.
Yet what's surprising is that the direction these three ascending battleships were heading did not seem to be towards Three Worlds Island, leaving people unsure of their destination.
ssages from various sources revealed, almost half a day later, the destination of these three battleships was finally clear.
Giant Blade Island!
Unexpectedly, it was Giant Blade Island; no one knew why.
But these three battleships did indeed stop outside Giant Blade Island.
At this mont, aboard the central battleship, a Jade Conch cultivator asked, "Senior Brother Ma, why are we not returning to ho island, but instead ca here to stay?"
Ma Shangsi rubbed his head, "I don't know."
The questioning Jade Conch was puzzled, you don't know? Then why did you lead us here?
Ma Shangsi continued, "Third Island Master instructed us, we just follow orders, no more than taking a detour."
He indeed didn't know why Lu Ye had instructed him to detour to Giant Blade Island; this order was issued before he departed Zixuan, and he did not ask.
The Jade Conch cultivator couldn't help but ponder; he was certainly no stranger to Giant Blade Island. Last ti during the battle with Baiyue, Giant Blade Island intervened, causing Three Worlds cultivators to stop briefly before the island on the return trip. Then, Giant Blade Island offered so spirit jade and resources as compensation for breaching Three Worlds Island's protective array, and the cultivators finally withdrew.
This ti, landing outside Giant Blade Island again; is it still because of last ti's matter?
Third Island Master is really grudge-bearing...
The three battleships anchored outside the island, even if Three Worlds Island had no intention to attack, Giant Blade Island was thrown into chaos.
Zhao Yunqi's face turned extrely pale, listening to the reports from his subordinates, he couldn't help but recall the recent events.
Ma Shangsi didn't understand why Lu Ye had him stationed here, but Zhao Yunqi was very clear.
Because he gloatfully cheered "Good!" and shouted "Murder demands paynt!" during the feast at Zixuan.
At that ti, he was indeed delighted, considering Zixuan powerful and Three Worlds Island weakened, he got carried away and spoke recklessly, never imagining today's situation.
In fact, he was more concerned than anyone about the battle at Zixuan. Upon hearing Zixuan's protective array was breached and Moon Jade cultivators were successively killed while Three Worlds Island cultivators decisively descended on Zixuan, he nearly fainted.
He had hoped such a minor incident would be forgotten by Three Worlds Island's Lu Ye, but now it's clear they hold fast to grudges, not forgetting at all.
Having dealt with Zixuan, troops have now arrived at the doorstep.
Fortunately, Three Worlds Island shows no signs of aggression towards Giant Blade. Zhao Yunqi, of course, knew what needed to be done.
"Quickly inventory the treasure vault, bring out anything useful," he imdiately ordered.
A Moon Jade cultivator widened his eyes, "Senior Brother Zhao, why?"
Zhao Yunqi sullenly responded, "Sacrifice wealth to avoid disaster."
The Moon Jade angrily said, "This ti Giant Blade didn't provoke them; why are they bullying us so?" Last ti could be excused as Giant Blade's fault, but this ti it's different. Why does Giant Blade Island always suffer?
"Senior Brother, how long can this be tolerated? Let's fight them! They haven't brought many cultivators, and there seems to be only one Moon Jade; surely they're no match for us!"
"Yes, Three Worlds Island is too arrogant; we mustn't compromise to appease them."
"Please, Senior Brother, give the order, we are willing to follow unto death!"
In the noisy crowd, Zhao Yunqi shouted angrily, "Fight for what? Is it easy for our ho galaxy to own a high-class Spirit Island in this All Phenona Ocean? That is the foundation built by our ancestors through generations. Sure, those Three Worlds Island cultivators are not many, and we might win if we fight them, but what happens after we win? Everyone, Zixuan is broken, and in the entire Moon Jade domain, only Lion Heart managed to hide in the All Phenona Island and escaped the disaster, while most of the Constellation have perished. That Lu Ye from the Three Worlds Island... is not human!"
At the ntion of Lu Ye's na, the spirits of the Moon Jade cultivators deflated.
The title of the number one under the Sun Blaze indeed intimidates people; that guy kills Moon Jade cultivators as easily as chickens. It's really hard to comprehend, how could soone as powerful as him exist when we're all Moon Jade cultivators.
Zhao Yunqi showed a look of guilt, "Today's situation is my fault. I said the wrong words out of montary excitent when I attended the banquet at Zixuan. This ti the Three Worlds Island ca for a reason."
All the Moon Jade cultivators looked at Zhao Yunqi in shock, only now understanding the reason for the situation.
As for what Zhao Yunqi said that day, there's no need to inquire further; it must have been sothing that angered Lu Ye.
"Count the resources in the treasure vault." Zhao Yunqi looked dispirited and waved his hand.
No one said anything more.
The last ti, Giant Blade Island exhausted its entire fortune to make the Three Worlds Island retreat. After that, the ho galaxy sent a huge amount of resources to resolve the urgent crisis.
But unexpectedly, the good days didn't last long before we faced another situation where we had to tighten our belts.
A group of Moon Jade cultivators felt frustrated and powerless. Going to a banquet should have just been about eating and drinking; why say so much? No one would treat you like a mute.
After one incense stick's ti, Zhao Yunqi led a group of cultivators out of Giant Blade Island, smiling cheerfully as they landed on the Central Hub battleship.
"Who are you?" Ma Shangsi asked loudly.
Zhao Yunqi quickly introduced himself.
Ma Shangsi frowned, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yunqi waved his hand, and imdiately the cultivators behind him began moving and carrying, piling countless resources in front of Ma Shangsi, soon forming a small mountain.
The reason for not using storage rings is because this creates a more visually impactful display, which better represents Giant Blade Island's stance.
Ma Shangsi was baffled, unable to make sense of the situation.
Zhao Yunqi clasped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, you must be tired from your journey; since you're passing by this island, we'd like to offer so resources to express our hospitality. Please don't feel offended."
Ma Shangsi was dumbfounded.
Thinking to himself, what a great thing this is; just stopping by an island for a while brings such benefits. If one were to visit all the major Spirit Islands along the way, wouldn't they quickly beco wealthy beyond asure?
Moreover, the items Giant Blade Island sent were quite a lot, weren't they? Although he hadn't counted thoroughly, he could roughly estimate the value of these resources with a glance.
Anything unusual must have a reason. Faced with uncertainty, ask the master; Ma Shangsi contemplated for a mont and said, "Wait!"
He imdiately sent a ssage to Lu Ye.
Soon, he received a reply, and Ma Shangsi roughly understood the situation. He looked at Zhao Yunqi and honestly conveyed Lu Ye's words, "Island Master Zhao, things can be done once or twice but not thrice! If there's another ti, your island's fate will be uncertain."
Zhao Yunqi exhaled deeply, knowing he had gotten through this situation, and nodded imdiately, "I understand, I promise there won't be another ti!"
Ma Shangsi nodded, raised his hand and ordered, "Return to the island!"
After a short while, the three battleships returned fully loaded, with Zhao Yunqi leading a group of cultivators from Giant Blade Island to shout loudly at the back, "We respectfully see off all the Fellow Daoists!"
Much later, he raised his head, looking at the three departing battleships, full of regret. Because of a single word, Giant Blade Island lost resources worth tens of millions of spirit jade; he wished he could slap himself hard.
Turning around, he looked sowhat distraught at a Moon Jade cultivator, "Junior Brother, go back to the ho galaxy and request resource support again."
Upon hearing this, the Moon Jade cultivator's expression imdiately turned unpleasant, as if they had eaten sothing foul... Last ti, they returned to request resource support, and were severely reprimanded under the Sun Blaze of their holand. Why is it him again this ti?
On Zixuan Island, Lu Ye put away the audio talisman, ending communication with Ma Shangsi.
He didn't intend to drive Giant Blade Island to the brink of destruction; there was no need for it. Not to ntion, with the Three Worlds Island's significant victory over Zixuan, the cultivators are exhausted both physically and ntally, with many wounded, needing recovery. Besides, what would be gained by taking over Giant Blade Island?
Conquering Zixuan is already enough to make All Phenona Ocean's various forces wary of the Three Worlds Island. If they keep attacking Giant Blade, it would only make the Three Worlds Island seem arrogant and domineering.
Furthermore, Zhao Yunqi was rely expressing montary dissatisfaction on that day without taking actions that substantially hard the interests of the Three Worlds Island.
Hence, he had Ma Shangsi lead the fleet to camp outside Giant Blade Island; Zhao Yunqi is a smart man and naturally knows what to do.
Now that they have paid and apologized, the matter is resolved.
"Junior Brother, we've found the entrance to the Spirit Jade Vein." Feng Wujiang flew over and called out to Lu Ye.
"Let's take a look," Lu Ye imdiately beca excited and flew towards the Spirit Jade Vein entrance along with his senior brother.
