Seventy-two Islands
"He's not dead. It's just that he hasn't appeared in the past ten thousand years!" Mu Yun sighed and said, "The Four Great Guardians of the past were his four best friends. Naturally, they wouldn't believe that he's dead!"
"I didn't expect you to know about the Four Great Guardians. You're not simple!"
"I also didn't expect you to know about the Cloud Alliance. You're not simple!"
Bao Ling 'er smiled and said, "My Tianbao Pavilion has always been well-informed. Vermillion Bird, one of the Four Great Guardians of the Cloud Alliance, once came to the Three Thousand Small Worlds to search for Mu Yun. Later, a man named Xie Qing also came to search for her. I don't know how many times he has come in the past ten thousand years!"
"The funniest thing is that in the past ten thousand years, once the name Mu Yun appeared, it would cause a tornado in the Three Thousand Small Worlds. If a genius appeared, they would be quietly captured and identified."
"Then do you know how the Cloud Alliance is doing now?"
Bao Ling 'er looked at Mu Yun and giggled. "Are you stupid? Unless one ascends to the Immortal Realm, how can one step into the Three Thousand Small Worlds? In the past ten thousand years, only the people from the Cloud Alliance have come. Who dares to ask about the situation of the Three Thousand Small Worlds? "
Mu Yun smiled awkwardly. She felt that she was being rude.
"Alright, don't brag that you're Mu Yun here. If the people from the Floating Mountain Sect hear it, they might kill you immediately!"
"Why?"
"Look at you. Are you stupid again?"
Bao Ling 'er smiled and said, "The Blood Lord was Venerable Yun's sworn brother. He just didn't want to enter the Three Thousand Small Worlds. He died at the hands of the Floating Mountain Sect. If the people from the Floating Mountain Sect find out that Mu Yun is still alive in the Three Thousand Small Worlds, won't they kill Venerable Yun in advance?"
This was something Mu Yun had never thought about.
Since the Floating Mountain Sect dared to kill Xue Xiao, they must have the influence of the Three Thousand Small Worlds behind them.
However, after ten thousand years, how was the current Cloud Alliance?
Are my former brothers safe?
This was especially true for Xie Qing. As a Mythological Beast, he had always been proud and arrogant. Only Ye Xiwen could control him. If it were anyone else, he would not stop at all. Ye Xiwen was worried that something would happen.
The moment he thought of this, Mu Yun felt his mood become even more irritable.
"I've talked so much with you. This information is enough to sell for a lot of Spiritual Crystals. It's very valuable!"
Bao Ling 'er teased, "Since you are so confident, I will give you this mission. However, you must win."
"Don't worry!"
After calming herself down, Mu Yun smiled and said, "This time, the three major islands have invited everyone from the seventy-two islands to watch the battle. They have placed a bet. If they lose, I don't think they will be able to go back on their words."
"Even if they play any tricks, the people from the other islands are not fools. If we win all three battles, they will be more convinced of us."
"No matter how powerful Skywheel Island, Poluo Island, and Ghost Withered Island are, they can't swallow the other sixty islands and make the decision for them. Otherwise, there wouldn't be seventy-two islands in the South Sea now, but three major islands!"
"This time, you're enlightened!"
Looking at Mu Yun, Bao Ling 'er giggled.
Unknowingly, she was full of trust in Mu Yun.
This kind of trust did not come from any interests or relationships. It was just that she was willing to believe in Mu Yun from the bottom of her heart.
"I'll leave the competition to you. However, if you lose, I won't go easy on you!"
"Don't worry. If I lose, I'll disappear immediately and you won't be able to find me!"
"How dare you!"
Following the playful conversation between the two, the ship finally entered the range of the seventy-two islands.
Even though they were ten thousand meters away and the sea fog was thick, they could still see the majestic appearance of the seventy-two islands.
Each island was tens of thousands of meters high.
Some of the islands were connected to dozens of islands, forming a group of islands.
The most impressive and majestic island was the first of the seventy-two islands — Skywheel Island!
The main island of Skywheel Island was tens of thousands of meters high, piercing through the clouds. It was impossible to see the top clearly.
The surrounding area was connected to dozens of islands of different sizes.
The area of this island was tens of thousands of kilometers.
At this moment, at the harbor, ships came and went everywhere, loading and unloading goods.
For the Southern Sea Region, the common means of transportation were ships. Therefore, the shipbuilding technology of the seventy-two islands was extremely advanced.
At this moment, at the harbor, Tianbao Pavilion's group of people stationed on the seventy-two islands were already waiting.
The leader of the group was a white-haired man with one arm wrapped in bandages. His face was pale as he stood at the harbor, looking at the ship.
"Master Rui Gan, you're not feeling well. Why did you come personally to welcome me?"
After Bao Ling 'er got off the ship, she immediately walked toward the old man and asked with concern.
"Young Pavilion Master, please forgive me!"
Unexpectedly, when the old man saw Bao Ling 'er, he knelt with a thud and said in shame, "Old Me already knows about the Young Pavilion Master's bet. Unfortunately, I was too careless and fell into the trap of the Golden Pavilion and the Shadow Pavilion. Otherwise, old me would have been able to participate in the crafting competition. It's all because I was too careless."
"Master Rui Gan, please get up!"
Bao Ling 'er hurriedly helped the old man up. She smiled bitterly and said, "It's not your fault. It's the Golden Pavilion and the Shadow Pavilion's deceitful methods. Even I fell into their trap."
"But don't worry, Master Rui Gan. I already have a solution for this matter. You don't have to blame yourself!"
"Young Master, what solution do you have?"
"We'll discuss this later. Let's hurry up and transport the goods to the Tianbao Pavilion branch!" Bao Ling 'er smiled and said, "The things I brought this time are the most important!"
"Yes!"
Rui Gan nodded and hurriedly sent someone to check the goods.
Mu Yun stood beside Bao Ling 'er without saying a word.
However, when he spread out his soul power, he could feel that there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at them.
This time, Bao Ling 'er came to the 72 islands. He was afraid that the matter was not so simple!
Tianbao Pavilion, as one of the three major trade centers in the Three Thousand Small Worlds, could be said to be one of the three giants. Even the branch set up on the 72 islands was extremely magnificent.
This magnificent scene was not only reflected in the decoration and style, but also the attitude of the people who came to Tianbao Pavilion on Tianbao Island.
"How is it? Bodyguard Mu, is the setup of the Tianbao Pavilion on the 72 islands okay? "
"It's passable!"
Mu Yun said indifferently, "Miss Bao, I want to ask you, how often do you come to the 72 islands?"
"The seventy-two islands are a large market after all. We come here almost every year. However, the one in charge here has always been Master Rui Gan. It's just that recently, the Pavilion of Gold Embracing and the Shadow Pavilion have been using more and more tricks. Our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's trade has shrunk from 40% to 20%. That's why I want to expand my trade here."
The Tianbao Pavilion's trade had shrunk from 100% to 20%. It was indeed very serious.
However, Mu Yun always had a bad premonition.
The moment he arrived at Tianbao Island, he felt a trace of something unusual.
Mu Yun couldn't tell what was wrong, but that ominous premonition kept circling around him.
"The competition will begin in three days. During these three days, you should prepare well. Don't go out!"
"Okay!"
It was night, and the temperature on the island was extremely low. Bao Ling 'er was resting in the inner room, while Mu Yun sat cross-legged in the outer room, once again operating the Primordial Blood Codex.
After nearly a month of cultivation, he had already grasped the mysteries of the first level of the Primordial Blood Codex.
After all, Xue Xiao was his brother. He could roughly understand some of the explanations and annotations. Mu Yun believed that it would not be long before he could advance to the second level.
Although he had mastered some of the martial skills and methods in the Primordial Blood Codex, he had never tested them.
"Phew …"
In the quiet room, Mu Yun exhaled slightly and opened his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, several green wooden sticks appeared in his hand. Those wooden sticks were all from the Tree of Ten Thousand Transformations. Then, a ball of flame, a wisp of black water, and a bolt of lightning slowly gathered.
Not long after, an extremely small formation appeared in the room.
The formation guarded the door of Bao Ling 'er's bedroom. Its faint light was completely obscured by the night light, and it floated gently.
Walking in front of the mirror, Mu Yun casually pinched his cheeks. In the blink of an eye, his face underwent a great change.
There was a hint of sharpness between his eyebrows. At a glance, it gave people a sense of sharpness.
After doing all this, Mu Yun adjusted his Gold Core to a Water Core. This time, no one would be able to recognize him.
After a simple disguise, Mu Yun left Tianbao Pavilion and arrived at Skywheel Island.
In his previous life, when he was in the Three Thousand Small Worlds, there were no so-called 72 islands. In the South Sea, there were many islands, each with their own way. After ten thousand years of development, the South Sea had also become unique!
Walking on the street, Mu Yun looked at the exotic scenery and walked around.
"Why are you like this? The Four-leaf Colored Lotus that we sold was clearly four-colored when we gave it to you. You killed the Four-leaf Colored Lotus yourself, and now you're looking for us?"
However, as Mu Yun walked, he heard a commotion.
Many people had gathered in front of a shop called Skywheel Pavilion.
The shopkeeper, who was dressed in a golden robe, revealed his wealth. He looked at the warriors in front of him and couldn't help but shout.
"Our Skywheel Pavilion is a reputable shop on Skywheel Island. We have many branches. Go and ask around. When have we ever deceived our customers? Don't think that you can bully others just because you're from Blood Slaughter Island!"
"We're bullying others?"
Hearing this, a young man in front of the guards snorted. "This Four-leaf Colored Lotus was indeed four-colored when we bought it. However, after bringing it back, it turned into one color. It's obvious that you've done something to deceive the customers!"
"The Four-leaf Colored Lotus is worth one million low-grade spirit crystals, while the one with one color is only tens of thousands. If this isn't cheating, then what is?"
Obviously, this was the first time the young man had encountered such a situation. When he spoke, he became abnormally agitated and his fingers trembled.
"Xue Yi, don't think that you can be so rampant just because your father is the Island Master of Blood Slaughter Island. Our Skywheel Pavilion is run by Skywheel Island and has a strong reputation. Don't look for trouble here!"
Xue Yi? Blood Slaughter Island?
