On the Island of Myriad, there was a small hall about five hundred kilometers away from the Myriad Trade Union. This was the place where the Yue Yao of the various Spiritual Islands were registered.
Lu Ye and Luan Xiaoe had been brought here by Tang Jun before. As the Island Masters of the Three World Island, the three of them had to leave some information here.
Therefore, they were familiar with the place this time.
The hall was not very lively, but there were still some Yue Yao entering and exiting.
The number of Yue Yao stationed on each Spiritual Island was not fixed. Many Spiritual Islands would make adjustments at certain times. Therefore, after each adjustment, they would have to make a trip here.
For example, if a peak Yue Yao of a Spiritual Island wanted to go into seclusion to break through to the Sunshine Realm, the force would definitely send another Yue Yao to take his place and guard their Spiritual Island.
Or if a new Yue Yao was born and wanted to cultivate on a Spiritual Island, they would also have to make a trip here.
Lu Ye led He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi into the main hall. He turned around and looked around before heading in a certain direction. There was a table there, and a cultivator was sitting behind it. He was holding a musical talisman and seemed to be chatting with someone. From time to time, he would let out a silly chuckle.
There were several similar tables scattered around the hall. Since the other places were occupied, Lu Ye could only choose this one.
Lu Ye came to the table, but the other party did not notice. He was engrossed in his conversation.
It was only when Lu Ye raised his hand and knocked on the table that the Star Constellation turned around. He blinked and asked, "What's the matter?"
This constellation didn't have the restraint and reverence that ordinary cultivators would have when facing Yue Yao. Since he was able to work here, he must be from a local galaxy. Moreover, Yue Yao was the one who frequented this place. It could be said that he had seen Yue Yao countless times, so he naturally had the ability to remain calm when facing her.
"Register for Yue Yao's replacement," Lu Ye said concisely.
This kind of registration was not uncommon. The Star Constellation naturally understood. He nodded and temporarily retracted his musical note. Then, he asked, "Who wants to do the replacement?"
Lu Ye pointed at Ma Shangsi and He Baichuan beside him. He did not need to register for himself.
The Star Constellation immediately threw over two blank jade slips. "Origin, name, force, and who you want to replace. Please record in detail."
Lu Ye gave two blank jade strips to Ma Shangsi and He Baichuan, and the two of them immediately got busy.
These pieces of information were very simple, and no one had gone to investigate anything. It was even more impossible to find any results.
After a short while, Lu Ye handed over two jade slips to Xing Su. Xing Su took them and checked them. His eyes flashed as he asked, "Is the person who was replaced dead?"
"He's still alive."
"Is he here?"
Lu Ye blinked. "No."
The other party immediately threw the jade slip back. He shook his head and said, "That won't do. Since the people who were replaced are still alive, you have to bring them together. Only when both sides are present can this matter be settled."
"Is there such a rule?" Lu Ye was stunned. Why hadn't Tang Jun mentioned it before? Either that or the old man himself didn't know. After all, he hadn't done these things before.
"Hehe." The constellation laughed and lowered her head, ignoring Lu Ye.
Lu Ye stood where he was and thought for a moment. Then, he secretly took out a storage ring and handed it over. He said in a low voice, "Little Brother, please help me."
Xing Su looked up at Lu Ye and shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to help. It's just that the rules cannot be broken. If the person who was replaced isn't present, how would I know if you are in cahoots? The matter of replacing Yue Yao is very strict. If just anyone could replace someone else, wouldn't it be a mess? What if you have a grudge against the Three World Island and are here to cause trouble? Since I'm sitting here, I have to be responsible for the various Spiritual Islands. "
These words … made sense.
Lu Ye could tell that the other party wasn't trying to shirk responsibility or ask for any benefits. This was indeed the case. If the three of them really had a grudge against the Three World Island, they couldn't do anything without the replacement Yue Yao present.
However, on second thought, Lu Ye said, "I am the Third Island Master of the Three World Island. There are records here. I can vouch for you. Can't you do that?"
"Rules are rules." The other party shook her head.
Lu Ye had no choice but to lead He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi out.
Standing at the door, he looked around. There was a teahouse not far away. Lu Ye said, "Let's go up and have some tea."
He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi naturally had no objections. They followed Lu Ye into the teahouse. They went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window.
Only then did Lu Ye send a message, asking Cheng Xin to bring Tang Jun here. He decided to replace Cheng Xin with the two merfolk elders.
As they waited, they chatted. He Baichuan looked around. This was his first time in the Wanxiang Sea. This could be said to be the most prosperous place in the Wanxiang Sea. Naturally, he looked around with great interest.
"If only our Three World Island could have such a scene." He looked around and thought to himself.
Lu Ye took a sip of tea and said, "It's difficult."
In terms of scale, the Three World Island was about the same as the Wanxiang Island. Now that it had the Minor Constellation Hall, it was destined to become a top-tier Spiritual Island in the future. In terms of the Spiritual Islands' resources, Lu Ye believed that the Three World Island would not be inferior to the Wanxiang Island in the future.
However, it would not be so easy to achieve the same level of prosperity as the Wanxiang Island.
The Wanxiang Island was not the only top-tier Spiritual Island in the entire Wanxiang Sea. However, the prosperity of the Wanxiang Island was unmatched by any other Spiritual Island.
Because it belonged to a local faction, it had natural credibility and deterrence. This was an advantage that no other Spiritual Island could compare to.
Any cultivator who came to the Wanxiang Sea for the first time would want to visit the Wanxiang Island.
"It would be even better if we could conquer the Wanxiang Sea." He Baichuan's thoughts grew bigger and bigger.
Lu Ye could not help but laugh. Based on the way the local star system currently managed the Wanxiang Sea, wanting to occupy it was simply a pipe dream. They would not allow too much sunlight to be active here. Without enough sunlight, it would be impossible to conquer the Wanxiang Sea. Back then, Luo Xie had only stayed for a few days when he came here.
Furthermore, there were many factions in the Wanxiang Sea. Many major factions had extended their influence here and made a fortune on the Wanxiang Sea.
Therefore, no matter who wanted to conquer the Wanxiang Sea, they would have to face more than one local Star System. The factions that had made a fortune on the Wanxiang Sea would not allow such a thing to happen. They did not want too much chaos on the Wanxiang Sea.
He Baichuan was looking around excitedly when he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Ye with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye was stunned by his look.
He Baichuan did not speak. He only transmitted his voice, "Don't look outside. I saw Yue Yao who stopped me and Senior Sister Luan earlier."
Lu Ye's raised teacup froze. He raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I can recognize her since we've only fought for a short while. Moreover, her cultivation matches." He Baichuan nodded. The reason why he told Lu Ye not to look outside was that he was afraid of being detected.
"Where is she?" Lu Ye slowly put down his teacup. This was really a case of traveling far and wide in search of something, only to find it by chance. He had just decided to reveal the Three Realm Island's strength during the internal meeting. The goal of this display was to find the faction that had ambushed Tang Jun earlier on.
At first, there was no clue about this matter. Lu Ye and the others did not know Yue Yao at all. Who knew which Spirit Island they came from? Once they hid on a Spirit Island, there was no way for them to take revenge.
Tang Jun was investigating this matter, but it would not be easy for him to get any results.
Unexpectedly, enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. He Baichuan actually saw one of those people here.
"That person has entered the registration area," He Baichuan said. "He has another Yue Yao with him."
Lu Ye immediately reacted. "In the previous battle, I killed one of their mid-stage Yue Yao. This person is here to fill the vacancy!"
This was really a coincidence. However, when he thought about it carefully, it was not too coincidental.
Now that Yue Yao was dead, there was a vacancy. Indeed, they had to come here to register and fill the vacancy.
However, the few of them were just sitting here drinking tea and chatting. He Baichuan kept looking around, and that was how he discovered the other party.
"Did he notice you?" Lu Ye asked.
He Baichuan shook his head. "No. I shifted my gaze the moment I saw him."
"Very good." Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then said, "Tell Ma Shangsi about that person's appearance." He then looked at Ma Shangsi. "When that person comes out, follow him secretly. Find out which Spirit Island is behind him."
Now that the enemy was out in the open and they were in the dark, the opportunity was great. There were two choices before Lu Ye.
One was to give them a taste of their own medicine. They would ambush Old Tang the same way they had ambushed him.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Ye did not choose to do so. Before they could confirm their next course of action, it would not be easy to choose a place to ambush them. It would not be convenient for them to ambush them. If they wanted to attack, they could only follow up and attack. Once the other party noticed, they would definitely escape. By then, they might not be able to kill the other party. Instead, they would alert the other party.
Furthermore, if they wanted to show the Three World Island's strength to the outside world, they could not rely on this method alone.
They had to do something big. For example … starting a battle for Spirit Islands.
Hence, Lu Ye decided to find out the other party's background first. Previously, their biggest problem was that they did not know who the enemy was. Now that they had coincidentally bumped into him, they could not let go of this godsend opportunity.
Ma Shangsi received the order and immediately left the teahouse. Soon, his aura disappeared.
This fellow had been in the Wanxiang Sea for a long time. As a member of the Blood Clan, he could live like a fish in water in the Wanxiang Sea. Not only did he rely on his own abilities, but his disguise was also top-notch.
The other party had seen He Baichuan, but not Ma Shangsi. It was naturally the best choice for him to follow them.
After a while, Lu Ye sent a message to Cheng Xin, who was rushing over. He asked her to bring Tang Jun to a place and wait for him. After receiving her reply, he then led He Baichuan out of the teahouse and flew out of the Wanxiang Island.
The other party had already left the Wanxiang Island two months ago. Ma Shangsi was tailing them. With his guidance, Lu Ye would not go in the wrong direction.
