"So it's just a misunderstanding?" Luan Xiaoe looked at Zhao Yunqi indifferently.
Zhao Yunqi said resolutely, "It must be a misunderstanding!"
Luan Xiaoe's expression relaxed a little. "That's for the best."
Zhao Yunqi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Judging from Luan Xiaoe's words, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of tangling with them. Moreover, since they didn't start a fight as soon as they arrived, today's battle could be avoided.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Luan Xiaoe change the topic. "Although it's a misunderstanding, it's a fact that the Three World Island's protective formation was broken. Moreover, many treasures on the island were lost …"
The corner of Zhao Yunqi's eyes twitched. He knew that things weren't so simple. It turned out that they were waiting for him here.
The Three World Island didn't have a bullsh * t protective formation. It was just a simple maze formation. At that time, the Giant Blade cultivators easily broke it. Moreover, there couldn't be any treasures on the island because they didn't find anything valuable on the island.
Zhao Yunqi's heart was bleeding. He knew that he would have to spend money to avoid disaster today. Otherwise, the other party would definitely not let this matter go.
Thinking about it, the other party came out in full force and came aggressively. It was impossible for them to say a few words without feeling pain. Moreover, the Giant Blade cultivators did indeed attack the Three World Island.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yunqi nodded and said, "The situation was urgent at that time. We had no choice. The Giant Blade cultivators are willing to compensate for your island's losses."
Luan Xiaoe looked at him with satisfaction. "Fellow Daoist Zhao is indeed a sensible person."
Zhao Yunqi's heart was filled with bitterness. He knew that if he wasn't a sensible person, a battle between the Giant Blade cultivators and the Three World Island would definitely be unavoidable. This was something he urgently needed to avoid.
Zhao Yunqi carefully glanced at Luan Xiaoe and asked, "I wonder how much the protective formation and the lost treasures of your island are worth?"
Luan Xiaoe said, "On the way here, I made a rough estimate. Let's say it's 20 million spirit jades."
Zhao Yunqi felt as if his liver was hurting …
20 million Spirit Jades wasn't a small amount. Three World Island didn't have that many Spirit Jades from Bai Yue's treasury. Giant Blade Island couldn't compare to Bai Yue, so they definitely couldn't take out that many Spirit Jades.
The big and small forces on the Wanxiang Sea couldn't have too many spare spiritual jades. Firstly, it wasn't safe. Secondly, the cost of cultivation was high. For a spiritual island like the Giant Blade Island, which didn't have many trading activities, there were very few channels to earn spiritual jades.
Most of the Spirit Jades they used were provided by the local star system, and a small portion was obtained through their own means.
Only a small number of Spiritual Islands with trading activities would have a large reserve of spiritual jades.
Luan Xiaoe had expected this, so she added, "If you don't have spirit jades, you can exchange them for other resources of the same value."
Zhao Yunqi still wanted to bargain. "Fellow Daoist Luan …"
Luan Xiaoe interrupted him with a cold look in her eyes. "Twenty million. I don't want any more, and I don't want any less. Your island has half a day to prepare!"
This was obviously the final ultimatum. In other words, if the Giant Blade Island dared to bargain, or if they couldn't gather twenty million worth of resources in half a day, the Three World Island would definitely not be polite.
Zhao Yunqi was annoyed, but he didn't dare to flare up. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Fine. Island Master Luan, please wait a moment. I'll go back and prepare!"
A huge loss!
He had only broken a worthless Bewildering Formation, and in the end, he had to pay twenty million spiritual jades. Moreover, there was no room for negotiation. Zhao Yunqi was sullen and angry, but he couldn't flare up. He turned around and entered the Giant Blade Island. Obviously, he was going to discuss with the other Yue Yaos on the island.
On the Star Boat, Luan Xiaoe returned. He Baichuan asked, "Senior Sister, do you think they'll be willing to pay?"
"I don't know." Luan Xiaoe shook her head. Twenty million spiritual jades wasn't a small amount, but for an entire galaxy, it wasn't too much. If the Giant Blade Island was willing to swallow their anger, they would most likely be willing to pay.
After all, the Three World Island's attack on Bai Yue was only ten days ago. Giant Blade Island shouldn't want to start a war with the Three World Island at this time.
"It doesn't matter if they don't pay. We'll just have to fight again." He Baichuan was high-spirited. "This Giant Blade Island is clearly in cahoots with Bai Yue. Since we've offended them today, we might as well go all the way!"
Luan Xiaoe shook her head. "It's meaningless to fight with the Giant Blade Island. Let's not talk about whether we can take it down. Even if we can, we won't be able to take down a mid-grade spiritual island."
This was different from starting a war with Bai Yue.
Starting a war with Bai Yue was the Three World Island's way of showing their strength to the outside world. At the same time, it was also a counterattack. Although this war had started abruptly and ended quickly, it had actually taken two months from the preparation to the start of the war. That was why everything went smoothly.
If they were to attack the Giant Blade Island now, they wouldn't have so much time to prepare. A mid-grade spiritual island's defense wasn't weak. Even if the Three World Island could take it down, they would have to pay a certain price.
As Luan Xiaoe said, even if the Giant Blade Island was taken down, the Three World Island wouldn't be able to take it down. When the Three World Island's cultivators retreated, it would only benefit others.
Bai Yue Island was a high-grade spiritual island. The ownership rights could be auctioned off. Many forces would be interested. The Giant Blade Island wouldn't be that attractive.
Rather than that, they might as well take the benefits without bloodshed.
When He Baichuan heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable. He praised, "Our Third Island Master is the one who strategizes!"
From the start of the war with Bai Yue to today's attack on the Giant Blade Island, it was all Lu Ye's plan in the dark. Luan Xiaoe was only the one in charge on the surface.
Now that he thought about it, since two months ago, when Lu Ye ordered the Three World Island's cultivators to retreat from the island and hide in the Huang Snail Palace, he probably already expected today's scene when he used the maze formation to cover the island.
Using a worthless maze formation in exchange for twenty million spiritual jades' worth of cultivation resources. This deal was a huge profit!
As expected, the Giant Blade Island didn't have the courage to go to war with the Three World Island. Zhao Yunqi returned four hours later with many storage rings. Some of them were spiritual jades. There weren't many, only eight to nine million spiritual jades. The rest were all kinds of resources. When put together, the value definitely exceeded twenty million spiritual jades.
Luan Xiaoe took them and didn't carefully count them. She chatted with Zhao Yunqi for a while and waved her lily-white hand. The Three World Island's cultivators who were watching covetously boarded their ships. The fleet set off in the direction of the Three World Island.
When the spectators saw this scene from afar, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. Those who wanted to watch the show didn't mind the matter blowing up. Those who had nothing to do naturally hoped that the two sides would fight. However, the result didn't go as they wished. Although they didn't know what agreement the two islands had reached, the scene of Zhao Yunqi handing over a lot of storage rings to Luan Xiaoe was seen by some people.
They immediately understood that the Giant Blade Island was spending money to avoid disaster.
It was a very wise move, although it was despised!
Since there was no more show to watch, the spectators quickly dispersed.
The Three World Island, such a huge spiritual island, was completely empty. There wasn't even a shadow of a person. If it was in the past, this would definitely be impossible.
If no one defended such a treasure land, it was destined to be fought over by all the major powers.
However, with the battle of the Three World Island against the Bai Yue, no one dared to do so. Because even if they forcibly occupied the Three World Island, it was unknown whether the hastily built defenses could withstand the wild attacks of the Three World Island's cultivators.
The people of the Three World Island were crazy. If it wasn't necessary, no one was willing to provoke such a group of lunatics.
After the Three World Island's cultivators returned, the empty spiritual island gained some liveliness. However, because the Three World Island was too big, the entire spiritual island still seemed somewhat empty.
The island's protective formation needed to be rearranged. There were also many defenses that needed to be rebuilt. In a short period of time, the Three World Island's cultivators wouldn't be able to settle down.
However, everyone was in high spirits and full of hope for the future.
Lu Ye didn't participate in these trivial matters. After returning to the Three World Island, he immediately entered a state of cultivation.
His previous encounter with Yuan Du had made him feel a sense of crisis.
Although on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, the native Rizhao had to follow the rules set by him, and Yuan Du was even forced to personally kill Yu Huan to protect the fairness and justice that he preached, who could guarantee that these Rizhao would always follow the rules?
They were the ones who set the rules. If they forcefully broke them, there might be trouble in the future. However, the people who faced Rizhao at that time would have been doomed.
Yuan Du was willing to kill Yu Huan because he had weighed the pros and cons. He felt that it was more important to uphold the rules of the Wanxiang Sea than to forcefully protect Yu Huan's life.
If there came a day when something forced the native Rizhao to forcefully break the rules he set, the Wanxiang Sea would no longer have any order.
In this vast cultivation world, strength was the most important thing!
Lu Ye felt that he had to increase his cultivation as soon as possible. At the very least, he had to reach the late stage of Yue Yao. Only then would he be able to barely survive against Rizhao.
The Wanxiang Sea was a treasure land, but it was also full of hidden dangers.
Fortunately, cultivation was his forte. As long as he had enough Talent Tree fuel, the Wanxiang Sea, a cultivation place that belonged solely to him, would be able to play an endless role.
In the past, he had to control the speed of his cultivation because he was worried that his foundation would be unstable. However, now that he had reached the peak of the Constellation Realm and had given birth to the Flower of the Body, he had an extremely solid foundation.
With the Rainbow Lotus nourishing his Spirit, his Spirit and Spirit were two strong pillars supporting him. Therefore, the speed of his Qi improvement didn't affect him too much.
As for the Yue Yao Realm, it was the cultivation of Qi!
Among the spoils of war obtained from Baiyue Island and Giant Blade Island, there were some fire-type treasures. Lu Ye swallowed all of them. In addition to the treasures he obtained from the Jade Conch Realm, his Talent Tree fuel reserves were quite abundant.
Of course, cultivating in the depths of the Wanxiang Sea consumed a lot of energy.
When he was cultivating in the Wanxiang Sea, Lu Ye left a Talent Tree clone to guard the Three World Island. It didn't participate in the specific matters, mainly to make it convenient for outsiders to contact him. If anything happened, others wouldn't be able to inform him.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. The aftermath of the battle at Baiyue Island had long disappeared. It had only become a topic of conversation among cultivators. The change of ownership of a high-class spiritual island was not a small matter. However, for the vast Wanxiang Sea, it was just a small wave. When the wave passed, it was over.
