The four people on the right are in such a state because they were the original rulers of this island.
anwhile, the four people on the left and the woman at the head co from Wind Chi Island, one of the Inner Circle Major Forces.
Originally, this island had six rulers, all of whom were Epic Tier beings.
However, Wind Chi Island sought to control them, leading to their dissatisfaction and subsequent resistance.
In the end, two people died, and four were injured; they were fed Alchemy Poison to conclude the rebellion.
The four took a long ti to recover and thereafter obeyed Wind Chi Island’s every command.
Wind Chi Island has a Legendary Tier being, a goblin, whose expertise in the Potion Branch of the Alchemy Domain is terrifying, and the Alchemy Poison he concocts is incredibly potent.
Crafting an antidote is exceedingly difficult unless one’s expertise in the Alchemy Potion Domain surpasses his.
Therefore, those secretly controlled by Wind Chi Island are all fed this Legendary Tier being’s Alchemy Poison, making their secretive control of outer domains stronger than any other Inner Circle Major Force.
"Lord Fu Ya, are you satisfied with my refined gold earnings statistics for this month?" The man at the head on the right, clad in armor, smiled ingratiatingly at the woman at the head.
Wind Chi Island values this island highly due to the refined gold mine it harbors.
Refined gold ore is an extrely scarce resource, and for a major force like Wind Chi Island, it is equally invaluable.
This is why Wind Chi Island dispatched five Epic Tier beings to this island.
Ordinarily, an island would only need one dispatched being, which could then use Alchemy Poison to control the original rulers, making a larger deploynt unnecessary.
Fu Ya, who had remained quietly listening while eating, glanced over when she heard the man’s inquiry.
After her gaze lingered briefly on his face, Fu Ya nodded lightly: "Not bad. I’ve arranged for this batch of refined gold ore to be transported to Wind Chi Island, and they’ve responded, saying they are quite satisfied."
Mining of the refined gold ore on the island was initially the responsibility of this armored man.
After Wind Chi Island subdued the island, Fu Ya pondered and decided to let the armored man continue overseeing the mining.
Hearing Fu Ya’s indifferent words, the armored man’s smile grew even more exuberant: "It’s a great honor to satisfy Wind Chi Island, and I’ll strive even harder from here on."
In response to the armored man’s flattering words, Fu Ya lightly nodded indiscriminately.
How much of the flattery was sincere or insincere, Fu Ya could not tell.
But she knew very well that without the Alchemy Poison crafted by that Legendary Tier being from Wind Chi Island, this man might be respectful but never to this extent.
"By the way..." After a slight pause, Fu Ya continued, "How are the magic potions I tasked you with cultivating doing?"
Because the Legendary Tier being from Wind Chi Island is intensely passionate about the Potion Branch of the Alchemy Domain, outer territories they secretly control have been ordered to cultivate substantial amounts of magic potions.
Once matured, these cultivated magic potions are sent to Wind Chi Island for the Legendary Tier being.
Among the territories under secret control, this island is the largest.
Additionally, many places on this island are well-suited for cultivating rare magic potions, which Fu Ya greatly values.
She entrusted this task entirely to her associates here.
Naly, the middle-aged woman at the leftmost seat at the lower table.
Upon hearing Fu Ya’s inquiry, the woman sitting at the leftmost seat nodded toward Fu Ya.
Then, she spoke up: "Rest assured; no mistakes have occurred—I’ve personally been overseeing it."
"In about half a month, part of the first batch of magic potions will fully mature. At that ti, I’ll send this batch to Wind Chi Island."
After hearing the report, Fu Ya nodded lightly and pondered briefly, then said: "Once they mature, let inspect them first before sending them to Wind Chi Island."
Upon hearing Fu Ya’s words, the middle-aged woman gazed at Fu Ya for a mont, then nodded lightly: "Understood."
With these two pressing matters addressed, the banquet resud its relaxed atmosphere.
The few resud casual conversation from all directions.
Of course, the four on the right mostly spoke, while Fu Ya and the four on the left primarily listened.
The four on the right mostly shared amusing anecdotes from the island and about intriguing people and things they had encountered before.
The banquet maintained a pleasant atmosphere until, abruptly, the expressions of the three on the left and the four on the right changed, a flash of terror in their eyes.
The simultaneous shift in these seven individuals imdiately caught Fu Ya’s attention.
Fu Ya’s gaze swept over their faces, and she asked: "What’s wrong with you seven? Why such a sudden reaction?"
Apart from Fu Ya, the middle-aged woman sitting to her left also looked at the seven with so confusion.
She, like Fu Ya, was a mage and hadn’t sensed anything amiss.
Realizing Fu Ya’s concern, the seven eventually collected themselves.
Each looked deeply troubled, and finally, one on the left spoke first: "I suddenly sensed a massive energy presence, at least a hundred Top Level Knight presences and nearly ten thousand High Tier Knight presences."
"And these presences are heading directly for the island with an incredible speed."
"With our ans, there’s absolutely no possibility of leaving here before they arrive."
"This ans if these presences are indeed targeting the island, we have no chance of escape."
Hearing this, Fu Ya’s expression changed imdiately.
She knew well that this person would never deceive her, nor jest, let alone the simultaneous reaction of seven individuals.
This ant that what was said was true, and based on their explanation, it was clear they were in a dire situation.
