The entire Purple Jade Island only had slightly more than five thousand Yao cultivators. Now that the army had been deployed, only a thousand Yao cultivators were left to guard the island. The First Island Master, Lionheart, was personally overseeing the island.
In fact, if not for the fact that he was worried that Lu Ye still had clones hiding on the island, Lionheart would not have stayed behind. With the strength of Purple Jade Island's defensive formation, no force in the entire Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea could shake it. Therefore, even without Yue Yao guarding the island, there was no risk of it being breached.
After a thorough search, Lionheart did not find any more traces of Lu Ye's clones. However, there were some things that had to be taken care of. For safety's sake, Lionheart decided to stay behind. This was because Purple Jade Island had already dispatched troops to Three World Island. The Battle for Spiritual Island had officially begun. Even if there were other Yao Yao from the Demon Clan on Purple Jade Island other than him, during the Battle for Spiritual Island, these unregistered Yao Yao would not be able to contribute.
In other words, during the battle for Spiritual Island, even if Lu Ye killed Yao cultivators in front of them, all they could do was watch. If they showed any signs of interfering, Lu Ye could ask Sunshine to arbitrate, just like what Yu Huan did. Once that happened, Vientiane Sunshine would definitely descend to uphold the rules.
Like most Spiritual Islands, Purple Jade Island had a total of five registered Yue Yao. They were Lionheart, Hu Guang, Bao Youyou, Yuan Che, and the dead Junior Brother Hu.
Now that Junior Brother Hu was dead, Lionheart had to guard the island. The only Yue Yao they could mobilize were Hu Guang and the other two.
They were very clear about the overall strength of Three World Island. Although Three World Island also had five Yue Yao, their military strength was far inferior to theirs. In addition, in order to conquer Three World Island, Purple Jade had even brought out a central warship that could accommodate a thousand people. It could be said that they were determined to win.
Moreover, Lu Ye had already lost two clones. He would definitely suffer a backlash and his strength would be greatly reduced. Therefore, the only ones they really needed to deal with were the four Yue Yao.
Coming from a top force like Purple Jade, they actually looked down on the Yue Yao of a new force like Three World Island. The strength of a cultivator was not directly determined by their cultivation level. The environment they were born in, the process they grew up in, battle experience, and even their wealth were all factors that affected their strength.
Purple Jade's deployment of troops was spectacular. Such a huge commotion was quickly discovered by the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea.
A top-notch spiritual island sending out troops was something that had never happened in the Vientiane Sea for the past ten thousand years. In a split second, all kinds of news spread rapidly and attracted the attention of countless cultivators in a very short period of time.
Everyone wanted to know which force Zi Xuan was targeting this time.
Soon, they knew which force Zi Xuan was targeting.
It was the newly rising Three World Island!
Zi Xuan had no intention of hiding her intentions when she sent out her troops. In addition, the Island Masters of the Spiritual Islands had witnessed the unimaginable change of events with their own eyes during the banquet. Under their intentional or unintentional dissemination, Zi Xuan's intentions were quickly exposed to the world.
The Three World Island again!
One had to know that the Three World Island's forceful invasion of the Baiyue had caused a huge commotion. In that battle, the Three World Island had used an extremely shocking speed to conquer a high-grade Spirit Island that had been occupied for 800 years. As a result, the Baiyue and Yue Yao armies had been completely annihilated, and countless Star Constellations had died.
From then on, the Three World Island's reputation spread. This was because even though there had been high-grade Spirit Islands that had been conquered before, it had never been done so quickly. There had also never been such a huge disparity in casualties. It was said that in that battle, the Three World Island's cultivators had killed many enemies, but they had not suffered any casualties. It was a miracle.
After this battle, countless spiritual islands used this battle as a research example. They wanted to know how the Three World Island had done it. They wanted to learn from the mistakes of the past and learn from the mistakes of the future. Not to mention whether they would become enemies with the Three World Island in the future, just this battle alone was enough for them to invest their energy into researching. In the end, after researching and researching, they still could not figure out anything. This was because they could not understand how the Three World Island's cultivators had entered the Baiyue on such a large scale before the Baiyue's defensive formation was broken.
Another hot topic of that battle was that when the Third Island Master of the Three World Island, Lu Ye, was chasing after Yu Huan, he was obstructed by the Vientiane Sunshine's Yuan Du. In the end, after a series of words, Yuan Du was forced to personally kill Yu Huan. This was a great humiliation to Yuan Du. This was also the reason why no other forces had bowed to Yuan Du.
Everyone knew that Yuan Du held a grudge against the Three World Island, but there was nothing he could do. Although he was the Guardian of the Sunshine, he had to follow the rules of the Vientiane Ocean the most.
The Three World Island had been developing well in recent years. As one of the few commercial spiritual islands in the Vientiane Ocean, they earned a large amount of spiritual jades from renting out shops every year.
However, how many years had it been? The Three World Island had stirred up trouble again, and this time, it was against a top force like the Purple Jade Island.
According to the news, the Three World Island's Yue Yao first massacred the Purple Jade Island's demonic cultivators for no reason. Then, the Third Island Master of the Three World Island, Lu Ye, used his clone to execute the Blood Explosion Technique and kill the four island masters of the Purple Jade Island. This caused the Purple Jade Island to fly into a rage and launch an attack.
The enormous fleet stretched out in all directions, casting a shadow that turned the Vientiane Ocean's waters pitch-black. In the entire Vientiane Ocean, perhaps only other top spiritual islands occupied by other top forces had the right to resist the invasion of such a large army of cultivators.
How could the Three World Island resist?
The news quickly spread to the Three World Island's main island.
The Three World Island's Yue Yao gathered in the meeting hall. Although her expression was grave, she was not flustered.
Old Tang asked, "What's Lu Ye's plan?"
Luan Xiaoe said, "Junior Brother told us not to panic. He'll try his best to stop the Purple Jade fleet. If he really can't stop them, he'll tell us to abandon the island and leave before the fleet attacks!"
Tang Jun's face was full of anger. "They've gone too far!"
Right now, the outside world was saying that the Three World Island had stirred up trouble first. It was said that the newly promoted Yue Yao of the Three World Island was rampant and had killed Purple Jade's Yao cultivators for no reason. Lu Ye even used his clone to activate the Blood Explosion Art and killed the Fourth Island Master.
However, only a small number of people knew the truth. Moreover, Purple Jade did not mention a word about the one billion spiritual jades that the Three World Island had sent over.
"They've had their eyes on us for a long time. They've been waiting for a year. No matter what Junior Brother does, they'll still send their troops." Luan Xiaoe sighed. Lu Ye definitely knew that this would be the result, but Wei Po was captured alive. Even if he knew this would be the result, Lu Ye still went. He did his best to try and see if he could save Wei Po.
He Baichuan frowned. "What will happen to the merchants on the island when the two islands are in conflict?"
Tang Jun said, "Don't worry. The Three World Island is a commercial Spiritual Island. The battle for the commercial Spiritual Island won't affect the merchants. Even if Purple Jade attacks, they'll only attack the areas where the cultivators are stationed. They won't disturb the merchants' locations."
There was a precedent for this. Therefore, even though the news of Purple Jade attacking the Three World Island had already spread here, the merchants on the island were not panicking. This was because the Three World Island's greatest value was them. No one would offend them because of war.
Tang Jun's spiritual talisman suddenly moved. He hurriedly checked it and revealed a gratified expression. "The Four Corner Island is considerate."
"What do you mean?" He Baichuan looked at him.
Tang Jun said, "Kang Cheng, Zhang Tingyi, Gao Zhan, and Zhou Chuang have sent a joint message. They're prepared to reinforce our 2,000 constellations."
The Spiritual Island that the Four Corner Island was currently stationed on was the Bai Yue of the past.
After the battle with the Yue, the Three World Island had secretly handed over the Yue to the Four Corner Island through an auction. Then, they sent people back to the Four Corner Galaxy and brought back even more constellations.
During the auction, the Three World Island didn't take a single piece of spiritual jade from the Four Corner Island. It was equivalent to giving it to them for free. Over the years, the Four Corner Island had developed well. Now that they knew Purple Jade was attacking, they immediately responded.
Moreover, this wasn't considered breaking the rules. This was because their reinforcements were constellations. As long as they could get the 2,000 constellations to defend the Three World Island before Purple Jade's fleet arrived, they would be part of the Three World Island's strength.
The Myriad Phenomenon Sea's rules didn't restrict this. Before the two sides started fighting, they could each borrow troops from their allies. This was something that could be followed.
Of course, if the war between the two sides officially started, no external forces would be allowed to interfere on the same battlefield.
One had to know that even if the Four Corner Galaxy sent more constellations over, the Four Corner Island only had 3,000 people in total.
The fact that Four Corner Island had sent 2,000 reinforcements showed their sincerity. If it weren't for the rules, Yue Yao and the others would have rushed over.
Luan Xiaoe nodded slightly as warmth flowed through her heart. As the saying went, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." After pondering for a moment, she said, "Send a message. Thank you for your kind intentions, but there's no need for reinforcements. Tell them that we won't defend the island and won't fight the enemy head-on."
The Three World Island was already prepared to evacuate the island at a moment's notice. After all, the disparity in military strength between them and the enemy was very obvious. If they defended the island, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, it was best to evacuate as soon as possible.
Since they weren't going to defend the island, they naturally didn't need Four Corner Island's reinforcements.
Tang Jun nodded and immediately sent a message back.
At this moment, Purple Jade's massive fleet was rapidly heading towards the Three World Island. With their current speed, it would take less than a day to reach the Three World Island.
On the central warship, Hu Guang was personally overseeing it.
On the other side of the large Warships were Yuan Che and Bao Youyou. The many Tiger Shark Warships were spread out on either side. From a distance, this massive fleet looked like a terrifying beast flying towards them.
Suddenly, Hu Guang, who was standing on the deck of the warship, raised his head and looked ahead. What entered his eyes was a tiny figure. That person was standing there quietly, alone.
"Lu Ye!" After seeing this person's face, Hu Guang's eyes immediately turned red and he couldn't help but recall the scene of his Junior Brother Hu's tragic death. He immediately roared, "Kill him for me!"
As soon as the order was given, the Spirit Arrays on the warship buzzed and energy surged. After a short period of time, a series of terrifying attacks shot towards Lu Ye.
However, although this terrifying weapon used to besiege a city was incomparably ferocious, it ultimately lost its agility. Before the numerous attacks arrived, Lu Ye's figure flashed a few times as if he was taking a stroll in the park, and all the attacks hit empty air.
