Tan Xiu floated down from the top of the palace and stood in front of Long Zhengyu, asking:
"Is there something you need?"
Long Zhengyu smilingly said, "All the finishing work has been completed according to our agreement. All the workers can leave Nine Dragons Island today. All the construction equipment can also be transported away within three days. "
"Leave some of the construction equipment here in case we need it later," said Tan Xiu. "I'll arrange Awen to settle the accounts with you. Zhengyu, we're on the same side, so I hope you can help me keep the existence of Nine Dragons Island a secret. Even the construction workers must keep this project firmly in their hearts. "
Long Zhengyu's eyes turned cold as he said in a deep voice, "I've already paid them the hush money. I also did some bloody things during the reconstruction phase so that the workers know what they can say and what they can't. Don't worry! I'll send some people to collect their residences, as well as the information of their relatives and friends to threaten them. As long as they don't want to die, they won't dare to disclose even half a word. "
Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction and patted his shoulder. "Nine Dragons Island will be my base camp in the future. A large number of armed personnel will seal off this place. No outsider will be able to set foot on Nine Dragons Island without my permission. However, you're always welcome to come here in the future. "
"You treat me as your brother, so I'll treat you as my family," said Long Zhengyu smilingly.
"I'll keep your words in mind," said Tan Xiu with a smile. Alright, pack up and leave with the workers from the construction team as soon as possible! I'm afraid Nine Dragons Island won't be peaceful in the coming days, and I don't want you to be implicated. "
"Tang Xiu, you just said that we're brothers, so I can't just stand idly by and watch your affairs here," said Long Zhengyu with a straight face. "Tell me what you need me to do and I'll definitely cooperate with you."
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Ordinary people staying on Nine Dragons Island will not only be of no help to me, but will also become a burden. Listen to me and leave quickly. We'll meet again when I return to China. "
Long Zhengyu was silent for a while before he nodded and said, "Pay attention to your safety. I'm still waiting for you to come back to China to have a drink together!"
"Don't worry."
Tan Xiu nodded.
With the departure of Long Zhengyu and the construction team, Tan Xiu came to the reserve warehouse built on the island the next evening. Because of the importance of jade raw materials, Tan Xiu arranged for Mo Awu to stay here these days.
"Boss!"
When Mo Awu saw Tan Xiu, he immediately came out to greet him.
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Originally, I was worried that there were outsiders on the island, so I put all the jade raw materials here. Now, I need to take them away so you don't have to stand guard here. I have a task for you. "
"What mission?" asked Mo Awu.
"I need you to personally go to Clam Island and select 3,000 of the best children from the tens of thousands of them," said Tan Xiu. "Then bring them to Nine Dragons Island in secret. Remember, your whereabouts must not be exposed. If you are discovered, immediately eliminate the other party. "
"Don't worry, Boss. I'll do it well," said Mo Awu with a solemn expression.
Tan Xiu thought for a while and exhorted again, "There are a lot of felons I rescued from Israel's labor camp 1319 on Clam Island. They are still in the observation period and are not the real members of the Everlasting Feast Hall. Therefore, they must not know the whereabouts of those 3,000 children. "
"How should I answer if they interrogate me?" asked Mo Awu.
"Tell them that it's my order to transfer those 3,000 children to other places," said Tan Xiu. "Tell them that this is an absolute secret and you must not tell anyone about it."
"I understand."
Mo Awu replied and immediately left.
Tan Xiu stored all the piles of jade in front of him into his interspatial ring and began to arrange a Feng Shui array for Nine Dragons Island according to his previous plan.
It was called the Nine Dragons Pearl Array.
This array was the one he used to protect his cultivation place in the Immortal World. However, due to his limited strength, he had modified the Nine Dragons Pearl Array and simplified it a lot. However, he believed that once this array was completed, let alone a Nascent Soul Stage expert, even a Spirit Formation Stage expert or a peak Body Integration Stage expert wouldn't be able to break it.
For a full day.
Tang Xiu didn't eat or drink, nor did he sleep or rest to arrange the array. The moment the array was successfully arranged, a golden energy shield enveloped the entire Nine Dragons Island. Countless quaint golden characters constantly wandered on the energy shield as the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy swarmed over from all directions. In just half an hour, all the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy within a radius of 500 kilometers was completely absorbed.
"The richness of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy here has increased by more than 10 times. Just taking a breath here can make one feel the abundant Heaven and Earth spiritual energy entering the body through the throat. This feeling … is wonderful. "
This was the thought of hundreds of people on Nine Dragons Island.
In the boundless sea.
A medium-sized liner was quickly sailing toward the direction of Nine Dragons Island. A peerless Daoist nun in a blue Daoist robe was standing at the bow of the ship while holding a fly-whisk. Behind her, there were four beautiful girls in white dresses with their hair combed into buns. Their eyes were focused on their noses and their noses were focused on their hearts. It was obvious that they had sunk into a mysterious cultivation atmosphere.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, the Daoist nun's complexion changed. She was keenly aware that the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the surroundings was rushing toward the southeast like a tide. It was as though there was a black hole there that was devouring the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
The four girls in white dresses opened their eyes at the same time at this moment and looked surprised as they also looked to the southeast.
One of the girls paced two steps forward and respectfully said, "Master, the direction where the spiritual energy is flowing is the same direction our ship is sailing. Could it be the island where my Junior Brothers are? "
"You're all going forward on the ship. I'm going to check the situation," said the Daoist nun in a deep voice. "Remember, I received a message from your Junior Brother a few days ago. The Nine Dragons Island's Master has sent some people to guard the deserted islands around Nine Dragons Island. Tell them your real identity if you meet them and they won't stop you."
"Understood!"
The four girls respectfully nodded.
The Daoist nun's figure soared into the sky and disappeared in the southeast horizon in an instant. The jade hairpin under her feet kept getting bigger and brought her closer to Nine Dragons Island quickly.
"What's that?"
The Daoist nun's pupils suddenly shrunk after she saw the golden energy shield shrouding Nine Dragons Island ahead. A storm was set off inside her heart. Even though she had already realized what it was, the shock still made her somewhat incredulous and hard to accept.
It was an array!
An unparalleled array!
She had seen many arrays and was even proficient in them. But she never dared to imagine that she could see such a mysterious and powerful array in her life.
"Who is it?
"Who set up this Feng Shui Grand Formation?"
The gap between the sect's Mountain Protecting Array and this array is too big! "
After approaching the golden energy shield, the Daoist nun didn't rush to contact the people on Nine Dragons Island. Instead, she flew around the entire Nine Dragons Pearl Array several times and studied it for more than an hour, yet she couldn't see through the mysteries of this array. She had a hunch that not only would she fail to break through this array, but she would also die inside it.
Finally …
As the liner sailed over, she landed on the bow deck of the liner and loudly shouted, "Daoist Zixuan of the Whole Unitary Sect pays respect to the Island Master of Nine Dragons Island. I hope the Island Master will allow us to meet you on the island."
"The array has just been completed, so please wait outside for seven days. The island's Mountain Protecting Array will be completely formed after seven days, and I'll naturally open the portal to let you in. Otherwise, removing the array now is tantamount to destroying the array's foundation. I hope Daoist Zixuan can forgive me if I've neglected you. "
Daoist Zixuan was silent for a long while and then slowly said, "If so, we'll wait outside for seven days."
At the top of the palace.
Tan Xiu was holding a lunchbox and wolfing down the food. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for many days to arrange the array, so he had consumed a lot of energy. He was so hungry that his stomach was rumbling and his chest was sticking to his back.
Ji Chimei, who was behind him, had a smile on the corner of her mouth. She was well aware of Tan Xiu's former identity, but who could've imagined that the Supreme who once stood at the peak of the Immortal World would actually ignore his image and sit on the roof to gorge himself? If his current appearance were to be seen by the people of the hundreds of millions of races in the Immortal World, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
"Please eat slowly, Venerable Lord. If it's not enough, I'll go get some more food. "Ji Chimei endured for a long time before she could restrain her smile and respectfully spoke.
Tan Xiu's mouth was full of food, so he was too lazy to speak and just waved his hand casually. After he finished the second meal Ji Chimei brought, he burped contentedly and wiped the food stains on the corner of his mouth. Then, he sighed and said, "Even Immortals need to eat, drink, and defecate. It's just that the food they eat is different. I'm just a mortal now, so I can't do without grains. Heh … it feels really good to be full. Ji Chimei, I'm going back to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important. "
"Please go ahead, Venerable Lord," said Ji Chimei with a smile.
Tan Xiu floated down. Just as he appeared in the palace, he saw Jin Chanzi and the other five youths from the Whole Unitary Sect hurrying over with their swords on their backs.
"I know what you want to say. It's not that I didn't entertain you well, it's just that your Master came at the right time. The island's protective array has just been arranged and she just came here. I just said that we can't remove the array and let her in within seven days, else the array I've been working so hard on for many days will be destroyed. "
"Big Brother Tang, since my Master can't come in, can we go out?" asked Jin Chanzi with a forced smile.
"You can't go out unless you think you have the ability to break out." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Otherwise, you can only stay on the island for seven days."
Jin Chanzi and the other five youths exchanged glances and shook their heads with forced smiles. They could sense the power of the island's protective array and were well aware that they would be crushed to pieces and obliterated by the island's protective array if they tried to break out.
