"Haha!" Chu Shen chuckled. "Old man, you're being unreasonable. Why should I give up my treasures just because you've taken a fancy to me? I've even taken a fancy to your wife. Are you going to give up your treasures or not?! "
Cold sweat dripped down the foreheads of the newly recruited constellations. They felt that their Palace Lord was truly audacious. He actually dared to speak to a mid-stage Yue Yao in such a manner.
Little did they know that Chu Shen was of noble birth, and his mother was a Sunshine expert. Yue Yao had seen countless Sunshine experts, so she wasn't too afraid of Yue Yao. If Nan Xingzhen was like this, he really wouldn't be able to put on airs in front of him.
Behind Chu Shen, the woman named HanCi frowned. She couldn't help but glance at Chu Shen, as if she couldn't understand how this brat could even say such shameless words.
Even if the other party didn't come with good intentions, there were some things that could be said and some things that couldn't be said in a battle between cultivators. Many tragedies were caused by careless talk.
"Impudent!" Nan Xingzhen shouted. The woman beside him also glared at Chu Shen with a cold gaze. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Impudent your mother!" Chu Shen didn't have the bearing of a Palace Lord at all. He stomped his foot and scolded, "If you want to fight, then hurry up and fight. Stop being so pretentious and annoying!"
Nan Xingzhen nodded slightly. He didn't want to waste any more words with Chu Shen. Instead, he looked at the constellations behind Chu Shen and said, "Do you all want to be buried together with this ignorant junior? If anyone is willing to leave now, this old man can spare his life! "
Attacking the enemy's mind was the key. Nan Xingzhen was old and experienced, so he naturally understood this principle. Even if his side was far stronger than the Peerless Island, one side was attacking while the other was defending. If he could divide the other side's strength with words, he could also reduce some unnecessary resistance.
Especially when he knew that the Unparalleled Palace had just been established not long ago. These constellations were all recruited from the Recruitment Island and had no loyalty to speak of.
As soon as his voice fell, Chu Shen opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, although this old man is a little ugly, what he said is right. If anyone wants to leave now, this Island Master can open the Array and let them leave. Of course, if you are willing to stay and work together with me, that would be the best. However, if you are willing to stay but still try to be sneaky, or even secretly do something disagreeable, then don't blame this Palace Master for being impolite. Whatever you choose, I, Chu Shen, will not force you!"
His words surprised Nan Xingzhen quite a bit. He had lived for so many years, but he had never seen anything like this. Now was the time to gather people's hearts. Even if they had to offer generous conditions, they had to move people and make them stay and work hard. Why would they take the initiative to let people go?
As expected, he was still young and naive!
Indeed, there were people who were hesitating. On the surface, the difference in their strength was too big. Even if they were in a defensive position, it would be difficult for them to win this battle. Once they lost, the defensive Array would be broken and their fate would be worrying.
Hence, after a moment of hesitation, someone looked ashamed and cupped his fists towards Chu Shen, "I'm sorry, Palace Master!"
Chu Shen was not disappointed and only nodded slightly, "It's human nature. Brother, you don't have to take it to heart!" He raised his hand and pointed, "Which direction do you want to go? I will open the Array and let you leave!"
That person hurriedly rushed towards the direction Chu Shen pointed.
A few people cupped their fists and bowed, following closely behind that person.
Seeing this, Nan Xingzhen struck while the iron was hot, "I will give you ten breaths of time. If you insist on stubbornly resisting, when the island is broken, it will be the day of your death!"
Once this was said, a few more people left.
Chu Shen was expressionless. After those people reached the designated location, he opened a gap in the Array and let them leave the Unparalleled Island.
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" He asked.
From Zhao Lai Island, he had recruited more than twenty constellations. Now, there were only seven left. It could be said that more than half of them had left.
No one moved. Chu Shen found it strange. Because he clearly felt that among the people who stayed, everyone was nervous and looked very scared. Yet, they did not move.
"Why aren't you leaving?" He looked at the remaining people in confusion.
Someone's expression stiffened and said, "Palace Master, where can we go if we leave? Are we still going to Zhao Lai Island to work and live a life of hunger and hunger? I've had enough of those days. Rather than going to Zhao Lai Island, I might as well stay and fight! "
Chu Shen laughed, "Aren't you afraid that they will kill you when the island is broken?"
"I am!" That person wiped the cold sweat on his face, "But so what if I am afraid? The path of cultivation is full of obstacles. Where is there no danger? Furthermore, Palace Master, you look like you are unmoving like a mountain. It seems like you have other plans. Palace Master, our cultivation is similar. If you are not afraid, then I can only not be afraid. "
"Is that what all of you think?" Chu Shen looked at the others.
Everyone nodded. Someone even asked, "Palace Master, do we still have powerful reinforcements hiding in the dark?"
Otherwise, how could Chu Shen be so calm?
Chu Shen did not deny it. He laughed loudly, "Very good. From now on, all of you will be my, Chu Shen's, sworn brothers. In the future, as long as you have a piece of spirit jade from me, Chu Shen, I will not let you suffer!"
He suddenly turned to look at the woman called HanCi, "You want to stay too?"
"Is there a problem?" HanCi asked back.
"No problem!" Chu Shen smiled brightly. Those early constellations were willing to stay because they guessed that he had some plans. Hence, they decided to take a gamble. He did not understand what this HanCi was thinking. But to him, this was a good thing. HanCi was a late stage constellation cultivator. She was not weak. She could increase their strength if she stayed.
"The world is full of fools. There is a way to live, but you don't want to take it. Since that is the case, this old man will satisfy you!" Nan Xingzhen snorted coldly. He waved his hand, and the many constellations behind him scattered. In an instant, the spiritual power in the air became chaotic. Multicolored rays of light started to bloom, fiercely crashing down on the protective formation.
Rumbling sounds rang out continuously. The entire Supreme Parallel Island was shaking, and ripples appeared on the protective formation's light screen.
"How lively!" On one side of the Supreme Parallel Island, Pu Ke took a swig of wine from his wine gourd. "I didn't expect to see such a lively scene as soon as I arrived!"
You Ling sneered, "You should still be able to make it if you leave now."
"This Spiritual Island is not bad. I plan to stay here for a while." Pu Ke put away his wine gourd. "However, if Island Master does not have any other plans, then we might have to go and fight Yue Yao!"
As he spoke, he looked at the woman at the early stage of Yue Yao.
The other side had two Yue Yao, while they only had one. Tang Jun could restrain Nan Xingzhen, but the woman Yue Yao was out of his league. If she really attacked without restraint, no matter how strong the protective formation of the Supreme Parallel Island was, it would still be broken.
"I remember that Dried Skeleton General!" Ling Yun's expression was bitter. "That guy was not the real Yue Yao, but he almost wiped us out. This woman is the real Yue Yao. We are no match for her! Besides … "She glanced at Lu Ye." He is not Fa Wuzun! "
Pu Ke nodded. "You're right. However, this place is not the tomb. There is more space to move around."
"Have you decided?" Ling Yun asked. "I have no choice, but you still have a choice."
She had been brought here by Fa Wuzun. Fa Wuzun was Chu Shen's big brother. If she did not do her best to protect the island, Fa Wuzun would definitely not let her go.
Pu Ke smiled. "When have you ever seen me indecisive?"
Lu Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly flipped his hand. An item appeared in his palm. "Who will take the lead?"
The two of them immediately looked over. Ling Yun was stunned. "Why do you have this?"
It was a Twin Qi Linked Branch Array Disc.
"The Island Master gave it to me!" Lu Ye blurted out.
Ling Yun and Pu Ke did not doubt him. With Chu Shen's relationship with Fa Wuzun, obtaining a few formation disks from Fa Wuzun was no big deal.
"Then this is a good idea!" Ling Yun nodded slightly. Initially, she had thought that even if the three of them worked together, they would still be no match for Yue Yao. At most, they would only be able to hold her back for a while. Moreover, there was still a huge risk involved. However, if they had the help of a formation disk, they might be able to put up a fight. "I am a Ghost Cultivator. I am not suitable!"
Pu Ke also said, "You are a Weapon Cultivator. You will take the lead!"
This was Lu Ye's original plan, so he naturally had no objections. Although the battle against the Dried Skeleton General had been very difficult, he had been using the Crimson Dragon Saber at the time, which had affected his strength slightly. Moreover, his cultivation level was only at the middle stage of the Constellation Realm. Now that his strength had increased, with the three of them in a formation, dealing with an early stage Yue Yao … might not be a problem.
However, that woman seemed to be a Dharma Cultivator. Therefore, they had to be on guard against her having any strange secret arts or Dharma treasures.
The Spiritual Island buzzed incessantly. Nan Xingzhen revealed a shocked expression. It was only now that he realized that the defensive formation of Peerless Island … was a little unusual!
He had thought that such a defensive formation could be easily broken. Who knew that the level of the formation was so high, and its defenses so strong?
To set up such a large formation, the cost would not be small. What kind of background did the people of Peerless Palace have?
What he did not know was that Chu Shen had taken five million Spirit Jades from Lu Ye. A total of four million Spirit Jades had been invested in setting up the formation, leaving only one million Spirit Jades as backup. How could such a large formation not be strong? It could be said that Peerless Island's current formation was made entirely out of Spirit Jades.
Moreover, the island's cosmic energy was abundant. If it was set up a little longer and the formation absorbed enough cosmic energy, its defensive power would definitely become even stronger.
The current formation of Peerless Island, in terms of level and scale, might not be as good as the high-class Spiritual Islands occupied by some big factions. However, it was definitely far ahead of the low-class Spiritual Islands. The only shortcoming was that the formation had been set up for too short a time, and the energy stored was not enough.
Nan Xingzhen obviously knew about this, so he concluded that the formation would not be able to last for too long. As long as they continued to attack, the formation would be broken sooner or later.
Amidst the buzzing, Chu Shen called out to the people who stayed behind and did a headcount. Including Little Dumb, Crooked Tooth, and the others, there were a total of thirteen people at the early stage of the Constellation Realm.
With a flip of his hand, he took out a few formation disks and distributed them. "It's not enough to just take a beating and not fight back. Everyone, find the core of the formation and counterattack however you want!"
The group's eyes lit up. After receiving the formation disks, they immediately split up and took action!
