Two short hours quickly passed. The cultivators of the Three Realms finished resting and reorganizing. Under the lead of the five Yue Yao, they set off for the island.
At the center of Baiyue Island, over a thousand cultivators were gathered in a panicked and uneasy manner.
Before today, even though they had many experiences fighting with others, none of them had experienced a battle like this.
The Three Realm Island had arrived with a ferocious momentum. They had broken through the island's grand protective formation that had been maintained for eight hundred years and killed eight hundred Baiyue cultivators. Even a few Yue Yao had died in battle.
All of this had happened in less than half a day.
In this half a day, the entire Baiyue Island had been turned upside down.
No one could understand why this was the result. On the surface, Baiyue Island undoubtedly held the absolute advantage. They had the same number of Yue Yao, while Baiyue Island had a total of 2,000 Yue Yao. Moreover, they were the defending side. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the defending side to achieve such a great result if they didn't have at least three times the number of Yue Yao.
However, the Three Realm Island had achieved this with only a thousand cultivators. Moreover, the Three Realm Island had suffered almost no losses in this battle.
The Baiyue cultivators were terrified. Even though they still had over a thousand cultivators gathered here and the many formations in the central region were still operating, they still didn't feel safe.
If the island's grand protective formation was broken, they could still retreat to this place. However, if the central region was lost as well, where could they retreat to? Although the Myriad Phenomenon Sea was vast, there was probably no place for them to hide.
Most importantly, Yue Yao, who was the cornerstone of the group, only had two members left …
Yu Huan and Jiang An were naturally aware of the state of mind of their own constellations. At this moment, Jiang An was trying his best to boost morale and rally the cultivators to live and die with Baiyue Island. As for how effective it would be, he could only do his best and leave it to fate.
As for Yu Huan, he was using a musical talisman to communicate with someone. His expression was constantly changing.
He truly couldn't understand why the Three Realm Island had dared to attack Baiyue Island like this and even succeeded.
Thinking back, the root of all this was that they had been broken through from the inside! Chu Zhu, who had returned earlier, was definitely the enemy Yue Yao in disguise. However, he hadn't been able to see through her disguise. As a result, Baiyue Island didn't have the slightest initiative in this battle.
It was impossible for him to give up Baiyue Island. Back then, the galaxy had spent a great deal of effort to occupy such a high-class spiritual island on the Wanxiang Sea. Over the years, it had brought a lot of benefits to the galaxy. It had been peaceful for eight hundred years. If he lost it when it was his turn to take charge of this place, how would he explain it to the cultivators of the galaxy?
Thus, they could only defend and hope that Three World Island would retreat. Even if they had to pay a price, Yu Huan was willing to accept it.
He could sense with his Divine Sense that the cultivators of the Three Realms were rapidly approaching. Clearly, they didn't want to leave the matter at that.
Three hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers, one hundred kilometers …
As the cultivators of the three dimensions approached, the atmosphere on Baiyue Island seemed to become murderous.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, a brilliant aura suddenly shot over from the distance. It charged into Baiyue Island and appeared between the cultivators of the Three Realms and Baiyue Island.
At the center of the island, Yu Huan relaxed when he saw this person appear. He had finally managed to invite this person over. In order to invite this person, he had promised many benefits. As for what the final result would be, he didn't know. He could only hope that things would develop in a positive direction.
Following this person's appearance, the cultivators of the Three Realms couldn't help but stop advancing.
At the front of the crowd, Lu Ye stood on a tiger shark warship. When he looked up, he discovered that this person was a middle-aged man with a kind face. He was definitely a peak Yue Yao cultivator.
This person had appeared out of nowhere and had suddenly appeared between the two sides. This was extremely strange. Lu Ye couldn't figure out this person's intentions.
He couldn't help but wonder if this person was Baiyue Island's reserve Yue Yao. If that was the case, then this person was truly courting death by appearing so boldly in such a position. At this distance, if five Yue Yao attacked together, even if this person really was a peak Yue Yao cultivator, he definitely wouldn't have an easy time.
He turned to look at Luan Xiaoe. The latter shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Just as Lu Ye was pondering, the person smiled and nodded. He said loudly, "Fellow cultivators of the Three Realms Island, sorry to disturb you. I am Yellow Dragon Gu Chuan."
Lu Ye frowned slightly.
Yellow Dragon, these two words were famous throughout the entire starry sky.
Yellow Dragon Realm was one of the top realms in the galaxy. It had a lot of sunshine and a lot of resources. It was much more profound than the Myriad Phenomenon Galaxy.
As a top realm, Yellow Dragon Realm even occupied a top spiritual island on the Myriad Phenomenon Sea!
There weren't many people in the entire Myriad Phenomenon Sea who could occupy a spiritual island with an entire realm as their main body, let alone a top spiritual island like Yellow Dragon Island. If they didn't have enough resources, how could Yellow Dragon Realm have such qualifications?
Since this person came from Yellow Dragon Realm, he couldn't be underestimated.
However, Lu Ye didn't understand. What was Yellow Dragon Realm's Gu Chuan doing here? Judging from his attitude, he didn't seem to want to get involved in this battle.
Moreover, there were rules on the Myriad Phenomenon Sea. This battlefield belonged to the Three Realms Island and Baiyue Island. Even if Gu Chuan came from Yellow Dragon Realm, he would break the rules if he interfered. When the time came, the Three Realms Island only needed to request for arbitration, and Rizhao of the Myriad Phenomenon Sea would come forward to deal with Gu Chuan.
As if he could see Lu Ye's confusion, Gu Chuan continued, "First of all, I'm not here to participate in this battle. Fellow cultivators of the Three Realms Island, please don't misunderstand." As he spoke, he looked at the Three Realms Island. His gaze swept across the five Yue Yao. "May I ask, who is the person in charge?"
Luan Xiaoe and the others all looked at Lu Ye.
Gu Chuan looked surprised. According to the information he received, the First Island Master of the Three Realms Island was a woman called Luan Xiaoe. He didn't know Luan Xiaoe, and two of the five Yue Yao present were women. Therefore, he wasn't sure who it was.
Who would have thought that the person in charge of the Three Realms Island was actually a young man in the early stage of the Yue Yao Realm?
Surprise flashed across Gu Chuan's face, and he asked politely, "Fellow cultivator, how should I address you?"
Since Gu Chuan was so polite, Lu Ye didn't want to be rude. He replied, "I'm Lu Ye of the Three Realms Island."
"Fellow cultivator Lu!" Gu Chuan nodded. "It's like this. I've come here on behalf of someone. I want to be a lobbyist. I wonder if fellow cultivator can listen to me?"
"A lobbyist …" Lu Ye's eyes flickered. He immediately understood that Gu Chuan was someone invited by Baiyue Island. Otherwise, he wouldn't have barged into the battlefield so abruptly. Lu Ye calmly asked, "May I ask, what position does fellow cultivator Gu take to be a lobbyist?"
Gu Chuan smiled. "Of course I'm an outsider!"
Lu Ye understood. He didn't think that Gu Chuan would lie to him. He nodded and said, "Since you're an outsider, why don't fellow cultivator Gu speak frankly?"
In other words, if Gu Chuan was standing on Baiyue Island's side, then he wouldn't need to say anything.
Gu Chuan clearly understood the meaning behind Lu Ye's words. He said, "Since that's the case, then I won't waste my breath. Fellow cultivator Lu, Baiyue Island is willing to pay a price as the cost for your island to send troops. We're also willing to maintain a good relationship with the Three Realms Island in the future. Therefore, we'd like to ask fellow cultivator to withdraw your troops!"
Although Gu Chuan's voice wasn't loud, the Yue Yao Realm cultivators who were constantly paying attention to the situation on the island heard him clearly.
They couldn't help but sigh. Baiyue Island clearly didn't have the confidence to defend the central region, so they had no choice but to ask Gu Chuan to be a lobbyist. Yu Huan had operated in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea for many years and had a wide network of connections. It wasn't strange for him to know Gu Chuan.
This was Baiyue Island showing weakness.
Yu Huan wouldn't have made such a decision unless he had no other choice. No matter what, Baiyue Island had lost eight hundred Lunar Mansions and several Yue Yao Realm cultivators in the previous battle. Such a loss wasn't small. As long as there was even the slightest possibility, Baiyue Island wouldn't compromise.
However, the Three Realms Island's unrelenting attitude made Yu Huan feel uncertain. Moreover, even if they defeated the Three Realms Island this time, Baiyue Island would definitely suffer great losses.
Who could guarantee that there wouldn't be other forces eyeing Baiyue Island? When the sandpiper and clam fought, the fisherman would naturally benefit.
Yu Huan had no choice but to show weakness. At the same time, it was also the only way to preserve Baiyue Island's current strength.
As long as the Three Realms Island withdrew their troops, Baiyue Island's cultivators could stay in the central region. After a few days, the Baiyue Galaxy would send people over to replenish their forces. Then, they would be able to stand up again!
As for maintaining a good relationship with the Three Realms Island … Even a fool wouldn't believe it. It was just empty talk. So many Baiyue Island cultivators had been killed by the Three Realms Island. How could they maintain a good relationship?
Yu Huan couldn't say this to Lu Ye personally, so she invited an outsider over.
In fact, this kind of thing wasn't rare on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. However, it was Lu Ye's first time encountering such a thing. Generally speaking, those who were invited to negotiate were all powerful existences with extraordinary backgrounds.
Gu Chuan undoubtedly had such qualifications.
"Price?" Lu Ye's eyes flashed. "What price is Baiyue Island willing to pay?"
Gu Chuan smiled slightly. "Naturally, it's a price that will satisfy Fellow Daoist." As he spoke, he sent a voice transmission to Lu Ye with his Divine Sense.
Lu Ye raised his brows. He had to admit that Gu Chuan's price for Baiyue Island was very generous. Of course, this wasn't something that Gu Chuan could decide. Yu Huan must have warned him beforehand.
However, Lu Ye wasn't moved by this.
After today's battle, the Three Realms Island and Baiyue Island had become complete enemies. There was no way to resolve this grudge. Since that was the case, they could only kill them all. Otherwise, when Baiyue Island recovered, today's battle would have been in vain.
Therefore, Lu Ye looked past Gu Chuan and said indifferently, "You want the Three Realms Island to withdraw? Sure! Remove the formation here and I'll naturally withdraw after I kill those two Yue Yaos! "
