Spirit Lion Island
"Island Lord and Mr. Baoyu are here!"
A voice announced. Everyone took their seats in the hall.
"Blood Island Lord, Mr. Baoyu!"
Seeing the two figures walking side by side, the crowd said respectfully.
"Greetings, everyone!"
Cold Blood chuckled and replied.
Mr. Baoyu, who was standing beside him, was eight feet tall and burly. He looked majestic and imposing.
Cold Blood gestured for everyone to sit down before he spoke.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've heard that Lun Wuchang, Luo Batian, and Gui Ai have invited the Zhu family to help. They want to take back Tianbao Pavilion's trading rights in the 72 islands. What do you think?"
Cold Blood's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"Dream on!" An Island Master suddenly shouted, "In the past few months, because of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, we, the last thirty-six islands, have been able to propose fair trade in the South China Sea. Don't you all know how Skywheel Island squeezed us dry at the beginning?"
"Yes! If it weren't for Tianbao Pavilion, we would still be suppressed. We wouldn't be able to develop at all! "
"That's right. Look at the seven major forces in the West Region. Because of their alliance, even the Floating Mountain Sect didn't dare to deal with them. If our 72 islands had joined forces earlier, the Floating Mountain Sect wouldn't have dared to covet us!"
"That's right. Who does he think he is? He thinks he can govern our 72 islands just because he wants to? This time, we'll fight to the end! "
Cold Blood's words caused a huge uproar and led to violent resistance.
During this period of time, Tianbao Pavilion traded their treasures in the South China Sea at a high price. This made these islands earn a lot of money.
Back then, the Heavenly Wheel Island had implemented a unified distribution system. All treasures had to be sold to the three great islands led by the Heavenly Wheel Island. The three great islands would purchase the treasures at a low price and sell them at a high price. Such stubbornness had long since caused many people to be dissatisfied.
Now that they had a rare opportunity to survive and develop, they were naturally unwilling to admit defeat.
"Everyone, please calm down!"
Cold Blood waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. He said, "Mr. Baoyu has something to say. Why don't we listen first?"
"Mr. Baoyu, please speak!"
Baoyu stood up, looked at the crowd, and said, "Everyone, my Tianbao Pavilion is open for business. The trading rights of these 72 islands were won by my Tianbao Pavilion. I think you all understand whether my Tianbao Pavilion has squeezed you dry. Tianbao Pavilion came to the South China Sea to seek a win-win situation. You sell and buy, we buy and resell. Everyone takes what they need, and everyone's development will grow stronger day by day. One day, the 72 islands of the South China Sea will no longer be called the Land of the Southern Barbarians, but will be comparable to the seven major forces of the Western Region, an existence that can contend with the Floating Mountain.
"Mr. Baoyu is right. The Zhu Family should get out of the South Sea!"
"That's right. We can't let the Zhu Clan get involved."
"That's right!"
Heated discussions broke out among the crowd.
After the meeting, Cold Blood and Baoyu left side by side.
"Mr. Baoyu, it seems that the Zhu Clan is going to be defeated this time!" Cold Blood laughed.
"You underestimate the Zhu Clan!"
Baoyu's face was gloomy, and he sighed, "The Zhu Clan is the number one clan in the Three Thousand Small Worlds. How can it be so easy to deal with them? Most importantly, the leaders of the Zhu Clan this time are the two young masters, Zhu Peng and Zhu Xiao.
"Do you know that ever since the number one genius of the Zhu Clan, Zhu Yahui, died, these two brothers have been eyeing the position of young master. This is a meritorious mission. How can they not work hard?"
Cold Blood was stunned when he heard this.
"Then …"
"But don't worry, Lord Blood. We've always had a good cooperation. If the Zhu Clan occupies the 72 islands, it means that the Tianbao Pavilion will withdraw. This is something that the Tianbao Pavilion can't accept. I've already informed the Treasure Master, and I believe that he will send us reinforcements!"
"That's great!"
Cold Blood wasn't confident.
The Zhu Clan came with great momentum this time. On the surface, they only sent four or five battleships. With such a scale, coupled with the strength of the Skywheel Island, Po Luo Island, and Ghost Withered Island, it would be difficult for them to resist.
"It's a pity that the dozen islands led by the Spirit Lion Island formed their own faction and didn't cooperate with us. Otherwise, we would be able to resist them!"
Cold Blood sighed helplessly.
Although half of the 72 islands seemed to be on the side of the Blood Slaughter Island, these islands were ranked at the bottom and weren't strong. The real backbone was the dozen islands led by the Spirit Lion Island and a few subordinate islands of the Skywheel Island!
"Nothing is set in stone yet. This time, the Zhu Clan is invading. I think the Spirit Lion Island Lord, Ling Dongtian, won't sit by and do nothing!"
Baoyu looked at the two statues, smiled and said confidently.
With the arrival of the Zhu Clan's vanguard, the entire South Sea vaguely sensed something unusual.
"They're here!"
On this day, Qin Mengyao received the news from outside. When he saw Mu Yun, he smiled and said, "The Zhu Clan's troops are here. The two young masters, Zhu Peng and Zhu Xiao, are leading them. Now, a few battleships are heading towards the Spirit Lion Island!"
Spirit Lion Island?
Mu Yun pondered carefully and gradually understood.
The Spirit Lion Island was ranked 24th, and it had joined forces with more than ten other islands to form a force. It did not obey the Sky Wheel Island, nor did it obey the Blood Slaughter Island.
It seemed that the Zhu Clan's troops were here to conquer the Spirit Lion Island and then take over the last thirty plus islands led by the Blood Slaughter Island.
"Well, you two have been idle for a few months. Now, it's time for us to take action!"
Mu Yun patted her butt and stood up. With a blade of grass in her mouth, she said, "This time, we will take over the Spirit Lion Island and the other ten plus islands in one fell swoop. Moreover, we can help you establish your prestige and return to the Zhu Clan directly to become the Young Clan Leader!"
Looking at Mu Yun's solemn expression, Zhu Yahui was curious about what Mu Yun was up to.
At the same time, on the seventy-two islands in the South Sea, there was a huge island. There were eight small islands in all directions and there were many ships docked there.
"Father, the Zhu Clan's men have set off and are heading towards us!"
"They're here?"
In the room, on the bed, an old figure shrugged and said, "My time is up. Those people were afraid of my existence and didn't dare to disobey the orders of the Spirit Lion Island. However, once I leave, the Spirit Lion Island will no longer be able to restrain them!"
"Dongtian, you're now the Island Lord of the Spirit Lion Island. Remember, this is fate. You can't force it. Look at the big picture, understand?"
"Father!"
Ling Dongtian looked at the old figure on the bed and swore in his heart, "Father, it's Lun Wuchang who harmed you. I will definitely not rely on the Sky Wheel Island. At most, I will combine with the Blood Slaughter Island and Tianbao Pavilion to fight against the Zhu Clan!"
"Don't make rash decisions!"
Ling Ming coughed and shouted, "Look at the benefits and choose the pros and cons. Don't act rashly. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Report! Island Lord, there are a few strangely dressed people outside. They say … they say they can cure the Old Island Lord's body! "
What!
Hearing this, Ling Dongtian's body stiffened.
"Cure the Old Island Lord's body? Who is this person?"
"He called himself Mu Yun!"
Mu Yun?
Ling Dongtian was in a daze. Could it be that Mu Yun who caused a ruckus in the Gold Embracing Pavilion and the Shadow Pavilion?
He was the personal bodyguard of the Tianbao Pavilion's Young Lord, Bao Ling 'er. Could he be here to persuade him?
"Father …"
"Dongtian, you can meet this person. As for the treatment, you don't have to worry about it. This person wants you to join the Tianbao Pavilion!"
Ling Ming said bitterly, "The poison in my body can't be cured. Even the Heavenly Elixir Sect can't do anything about it. So, don't be deceived by him."
"I understand!"
Ling Dongtian bowed slightly and left the room.
"Are you sure it's Mu Yun?"
"It should be!"
Ling Dongtian's submissive appearance immediately disappeared and was replaced by a domineering aura.
"Mu Yun … Her alchemy and weapon refining skills are indeed superb. However, if you want to force me to join the Blood Slaughter Island's camp by curing my father's illness, that's impossible!"
As the Island Lord of Spirit Lion Island, Ling Dongtian's cultivation was extraordinary.
Although the overall strength of Spirit Lion Island was not strong, it was never underestimated because of the existence of his father, Ling Ming.
Ling Ming's strength was far beyond Reincarnation Ming, Luo Batian, and the others. However, because he was plotted against many years ago, his strength was declining year by year.
However, Ling Ming's influence was still there. That was why there were more than a dozen mid-level islands that submitted to Spirit Lion Island.
However, Ling Ming was addicted to it and the prestige of Spirit Lion Island was not as good as before. Hence, Ling Dongtian was under pressure to rule these dozen islands.
There were constantly people who began to challenge his authority.
Such provocation was something that Ling Dongtian absolutely could not tolerate. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Island Lord Ling!"
As Ling Dongtian came to the front hall, four figures were already waiting in the living room.
The person in the lead was Mu Yun.
"This must be Young Lord Bao's number one bodyguard, Mu Yun, right? You're indeed a heroic youth. Although your bone age is young, your strength is high. You're much more powerful than those disciples on the Destiny List of the Floating Mountain Sect. "
Ling Dongtian's words naturally had a deeper meaning.
News of Mu Yun's actions in the Floating Mountain Range had already spread throughout the seventy-two islands over the past few months.
"Just so-so!"
Facing Ling Dongtian's praise, Mu Yun laughed and accepted it calmly. She was not modest at all.
This caused Ling Dongtian to be slightly stunned.
"Alright, Island Lord Ling, I won't say any more nonsense. I can cure your father's poison. However, I don't know if you're willing to let me cure you!"
Mu Yun went straight to the point.
The Zhu Family's troops were already approaching. There was no time to beat around the bush and talk about principles.
If Ling Dongtian allowed him to cure the poison, he would cure the poison. If not, he would leave immediately.
