As they rushed toward the Three World Island, Lu Ye's Sound Talisman suddenly vibrated. He checked it and found that it was a message from Luan Xiaoe, asking about the situation here.
Lu Ye told her the truth.
Luan Xiaoe heaved a sigh of relief.
After a while, Lu Ye and the others met up with Luan Xiaoe and her junior brother.
Looking at their current state, Lu Ye frowned and asked, "What's going on here?"
Luan Xiaoe and He Baichuan both had injuries on their bodies. They had obviously gone through a great battle.
"Someone intercepted us!" Luan Xiaoe's expression was serious. "Junior Brother He and I fought with them. Before I could send you a message, they suddenly retreated!"
Lu Ye frowned. "How many people?"
"Three!" Luan Xiaoe replied.
Moreover, the ones who could intercept them were undoubtedly Yue Yao.
Lu Ye muttered to himself for a moment, then understood. "Our Three World Island has been targeted!"
On the way back from the Island of Versatility, Tang Jun had been ambushed by two Yue Yao. He had sent a message for help, but Luan Xiaoe and her junior brother had been intercepted.
There were two Yue Yao on the other side and three on the other side. There were exactly five Yue Yao. They were obviously in cahoots. This was undoubtedly a premeditated provocation.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Lu Ye to deduce that the Three World Island had been targeted by a certain faction. They were prepared to attack Tang Jun first to weaken the defenses of the Three World Island.
If he and Ma Shangsi had not run fast enough, the three Yue Yao who had intercepted Luan Xiaoe's junior brother would have encountered them.
However, Ma Shangsi had activated the Blood Escape Technique too quickly after exploding her precious blood. The other party probably did not have time to react, which was why they had intercepted Luan Xiaoe and her junior brother.
The Three World Island had been promoted to a high-class Spiritual Island a month ago. It was not strange for such a juicy piece of meat to be targeted. Lu Ye even suspected that there was more than one faction targeting the Three World Island. It was just that only one of them had made a move today.
"Let's go back first!" Lu Ye called out, and the group returned. They did not let down their guard on the way back. Who knew if a few Yue Yao would suddenly appear and ambush them?
Only when they returned to the Three World Island did they relax.
Tang Jun cursed as he went to find Shui Yuan to treat his injuries. He had narrowly escaped death in this battle, and the price he had paid was enormous. Just the broken defensive spirit treasures and the red talisman alone were worth nearly four million spirit jades. It could be said that he had suffered a great loss.
Although Lu Ye had killed one of the other side's members, he hadn't gained anything at all. It wasn't enough to make up for his losses.
Lu Ye went to the Alchemy Chamber to look for Tang Jun. He was prepared to do so when he came back. However, he received the news that Tang Jun had been ambushed, so he immediately rushed to rescue him.
Inside the Pill Room, Hua Ci already knew that Lu Ye had returned, so she wasn't surprised to see him. She just glanced at him with a smile.
"Daddy!" A small figure rushed over from the side and threw himself into Lu Ye's arms.
It was Yaya.
Lu Ye hugged her and raised his hand to scratch her little nose. "Are you obedient?"
Ya Ya rolled her eyes and said crisply, "I'm very, very obedient!"
Lu Ye looked at Hua Ci, and Hua Ci nodded. "Yaya is very sensible. She didn't make a fuss when you weren't around."
"That's a good girl!" Lu Ye pinched her pink little face.
Yaya giggled.
"How is Elder Tang?" Hua Ci asked.
Lu Ye sat to the side with Yaya in his arms and said, "He's injured. It's not a big deal. Second Sister is treating him."
Yaya leaned forward and poured a cup of water for Lu Ye from the teapot next to her. She handed it to him and said obediently, "Daddy, have some tea."
Lu Ye gladly picked it up.
Just as he started to drink, Yaya asked, "Where's my mother?"
Lu Ye spat out a mouthful of tea and hurriedly explained, "Ah, your mother? She went back to her mother's house!"
Hua Ci chuckled at the side and said meaningfully.
Lu Ye suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Yaya tapped her little mouth and thought seriously for a while, looking a little disappointed.
"She'll be back in a while." Lu Ye comforted her.
He sighed in his heart. He also knew that Yaya was not really a child, but he didn't know why she became like this. Coupled with her damaged mind, she always acted like a child. But Yaya kept calling him daddy, and it made Lu Ye's shoulders feel heavy.
In the past, he was afraid that Yaya would one day recover her mind and recall the experience during this period. If that happened, he would be in a bad situation.
But now he didn't think so. He even hoped that Yaya could recover. In any case, it was too sad that Rizhao had fallen to such a state.
"You may have thought too simply about the situation in the Wanxiang Sea. Now that you're back, you should communicate more with Elder Tang and the others. There were actually signs that Elder Tang was attacked." Hua Ci's voice sounded.
"What do you know?" Lu Ye asked.
Hua Ci shook her head. "Second Sister and I are in charge of the alchemy room. We only heard a few words about what happened outside. We don't know much, so I won't mislead you."
Lu Ye nodded.
After chatting with Hua Ci for a while in the alchemy room, Lu Ye received Luan Xiaoe's message and left.
In the Three World Island's meeting hall, the Yue Yao were gathered.
In the Jade Snail Galaxy, there were Luan Xiaoe, He Baichuan, Tang Jun, and Lu Ye.
In the Mermaid Clan, there was Great Elder Yan Miao and Fourth Elder Cheng Xin.
There was also Blood Warden Ma Shangsi.
In the entire Three World Island, there were now as many as seven Yue Yao. Compared to when they first arrived, their strength had greatly increased. Luan Xiaoe, Yan Miao, and Ma Shangsi were all at the peak of Yue Yao, while He Baichuan and Cheng Xin were at the late stage of Yue Yao.
With such a lineup and a thousand Lunar Mansions, the Three World Island's defense could be said to be at its initial stage.
For any force, this speed of development was unimaginable. After all, the Three World Island's cultivators had only arrived at the Wanxiang Sea a year ago.
Of course, due to the rules of the Wanxiang Sea, the seven Yue Yao were not allowed to fight together in a battle for Soul Island. Otherwise, it would be a provocation to the local galaxy. Rizhao, who was in charge of the Wanxiang Island, would not sit by and watch.
After Shui Yuan's treatment, Tang Jun's injuries were no longer serious, but he still looked a little weak.
After everyone took their seats, Lu Ye was the first to speak. "Which force attacked the Three World Island today?"
Everyone was silent. Clearly, no one knew.
Luan Xiaoe's expression was a little awkward. She explained, "We've only been here for a short time, so we don't know much about the Yue Yao of the major forces. However, to be able to mobilize five Yue Yao at once, and each of them is quite powerful, it's definitely not a small force."
For more than a year, the Three World Island had been working hard to develop itself. There were many major forces on the Wanxiang Sea. The Three World Island did not have many connections, so they could not determine which force attacked them. Moreover, the other party was hiding in the dark.
Therefore, the situation here was a little uncomfortable. They did not even know who to look for for revenge.
Lu Ye tapped her fingers on the table. She suddenly looked at Tang Jun. "Old Tang, why did you go to the Wanxiang Island today?"
Tang Jun replied, "To visit a mountain!"
"Visit a mountain?" Lu Ye frowned, looking confused. "What mountain?"
Tang Jun said helplessly, "You only focus on cultivation. Of course you don't understand the many hidden complications in the Wanxiang Sea."
"Then tell me." Lu Ye sat up straight and assumed a listening posture.
Tang Jun thought for a moment and asked, "You should know that Rizhao is overseeing the Wanxiang Island, right?"
"I know that." Lu Ye nodded. No matter how ignorant and inexperienced he was, he had heard of this common knowledge. Moreover, he knew that there was more than one Rizhao overseeing the Wanxiang Island.
"Rizhao oversees the Wanxiang Sea for two reasons. First, it's to deter and second, it's also to manage the Wanxiang Sea. If any force breaks the rules, Rizhao will have to step in and take care of it. Under normal circumstances, Rizhao's experts are too lazy to care about these trivial matters. They are too high level and have their own goals. Why would they waste their time on such trivial matters? However, in reality, there is a lot of competition in the local galaxies for the job of overseeing the Wanxiang Sea.
"What do you mean?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Of course there are benefits. Great benefits!" Tang Jun looked at him, "In the current Wanxiang Sea, on the surface, there is only one top-grade Spiritual Island in the local galaxy. However, in reality, almost every top-grade Spiritual Island and even upper-grade Spiritual Island are inextricably linked to Rizhao from the local galaxy. Those top-grade Spiritual Islands and upper-grade Spiritual Islands all have Rizhao's shadow behind them!"
Lu Ye frowned, "You're confusing me."
Tang Jun said, "It's very simple. Let's not talk about the low-grade and middle-grade Spiritual Islands. Rizhao doesn't care about those places. However, it's different for upper-grade Spiritual Islands. For example, our Three World Island has a great cultivation environment. If you come here, your cultivation efficiency will increase greatly. Rizhao doesn't need such a cultivation environment. However, which Rizhao doesn't need to take care of his juniors and disciples? These people need a great cultivation environment! There are many cultivators in the local Wanxiang Star System. One Wanxiang Island is not enough to satisfy them. Therefore, other top-grade Spiritual Islands and upper-grade Spiritual Islands are their choice. "
After a pause, Tang Jun continued, "They won't attack and occupy these Spiritual Islands because they want to save face. Moreover, they are the ones who set the rules. Naturally, they won't break it themselves. Therefore, they need the people in charge of these Spiritual Islands to be tactful enough to visit them. "
Lu Ye somewhat understood, "Simply put, they need to rely on a certain Rizhao. Then, this Rizhao will arrange for some people to go to those Spiritual Islands to cultivate?"
Tang Jun nodded, "That's right. This is an unwritten rule that has been passed down since ancient times in the Wanxiang Sea. The local Wanxiang Star System also uses this method to place their own cultivators on the Spiritual Islands. Of course, these cultivators won't gain much from the Spiritual Islands. They only occupy a few spots and have a better cultivation environment!"
As he spoke, Tang Jun raised his hand and knocked on the table, "This is the so-called visiting of a mountain. The Spiritual Islands and a certain Rizhao will reach some kind of agreement. Then, at certain times, they will be taken care of to a certain extent."
