Lionheart was heavily injured, and he had sacrificed his Monster Core to fight to the death. His vitality must have been greatly damaged. This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate him.
With the help of the Mountain Plate Blade, Lu Ye could vaguely sense traces of Fang's power in a certain direction. That was undoubtedly where Lionheart was.
With the support of his precious blood, Lu Ye's Blood Escape was pushed to the limit. His entire body turned into a beam of light!
As time passed, he could sense the Fang power more clearly. This meant that the distance between them was gradually closing. However, Lu Ye couldn't help but frown.
This was because he could sense that Lionheart was fleeing in the direction of the Island of Versatility.
After a moment's thought, Lu Ye saw through Lionheart's thoughts.
Indeed, now that Zi Jade had been destroyed and many of Zi Jade's Monster Cultivators had died, he was the only one left on Yue Yao's level. If he wanted to survive, he had to find a place to recuperate.
The Island of Versatility was undoubtedly his best and only choice.
Realizing this, Lu Ye immediately took out the star chart of the Island of Versatility to verify his current location. He then estimated Lionheart's location and compared their speeds. His frown deepened.
According to his calculations, if he continued to pursue Lionheart like this, all his efforts would be in vain. Lionheart was obviously much closer to the Island of Versatility. Therefore, even if Lionheart's speed was slower than his, he would still reach the Island of Versatility first.
Once Lionheart entered the Island of Versatility, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to succeed. He couldn't possibly break into the Island of Versatility to kill someone. That would be courting death!
After a moment's thought, Lu Ye changed his original plan. He immediately changed his direction and flew directly towards the Island of Versatility. Since he didn't have enough time, he would intercept Lionheart before the Island of Versatility!
At this moment, an old man sat in a palace on the Island of Versatility. In front of him was a seductive woman with a seductive figure and a seductive appearance, who was sobbing softly with a pitiful expression on her face.
Not far to the side of the old man, Yuan Cheng stood there respectfully with his head bowed.
To be treated so respectfully by Yuan Cheng in a place like this undoubtedly revealed the old man's identity. He was Yuan Du, one of the Five Sunshine Guardians of the Island of Versatility.
In the quiet environment, only the gentle sobbing of the charming woman could be heard.
Yuan Cheng did not dare to speak. He only checked his notes from time to time to receive information from the outside.
"How's the situation?" Yuan Du suddenly asked.
Only then did Yuan Cheng reply, "Patriarch, Zi Xuan has been broken. Lionheart ordered Zi Xuan's Yao cultivators to flee while he sacrificed his Yao Core for a desperate attack. Then, he used the Spirit Talisman to escape."
"What a piece of trash!" Yuan Du coldly snorted. From his point of view, he could not understand how Zi Xuan could be so useless.
According to his original plan, Zi Xuan only needed to lure Lu Ye to the island and kill him, then she could quickly send troops to attack the Three World Island.
Even if they didn't kill Lu Ye, Zi Xuan could still send out her troops.
However, once the conflict started, the development of the war was completely different from what they had expected. Zi Xuan suffered heavy losses while Three World Island remained peaceful and undisturbed by the flames of war.
In the end, Zi Xuan failed to attack the Three World Island. Instead, the cultivators of the Three World Island descended from the heavens and attacked Zi Xuan. Now, even Lionheart had begun to flee.
"Is that Lu Ye really that strong?" Yuan Du looked at Yuan Cheng and asked.
Yuan Cheng couldn't help but recall the scene at the banquet. At that time, Lu Ye had rushed straight towards him and he had almost thought he was dead for sure. Fortunately, Lu Ye had changed his target at the critical moment and killed his Junior Brother Hu.
Only later did he learn that it was just a clone of Lu Ye.
"Judging from the information we've gathered so far, he is indeed qualified to be the strongest person under the sun," Yuan Cheng replied cautiously. Yuan Cheng replied cautiously. Even Yue Yao, who was as strong as Lionheart, had been forced to flee in panic. In this vast universe, which Yue Yao could be his match?
"Wuwuwu …" The soft sobs suddenly grew louder and the charming woman who had been lying in front of Yuan Du burst into tears. She raised her head and looked at Yuan Du pitifully, "My poor clan brother died so miserably. So many of my clansmen were also killed. Lord Husband, you have to avenge them."
Old Tang had once told Lu Ye that this old man Yuan Du didn't have any other hobbies, but he had a lot of concubines. Among the few most favoured concubines, there was a Six-tailed Fox from the Amethyst Demonic Star named Hu Xue.
As a member of the Six-tailed Fox Clan, Hu Xue naturally had some relationship with Hu Guang. When news of Hu Guang's death reached her, she immediately came to Yuan Du and cried her heart out. That was why Yuan Du had come to ask Yuan Cheng about it.
Hearing Hu Xue cry at this moment, Yuan Du felt a headache coming on.
Hu Guang was killed by Lu Ye during the competition between the two islands. Even if Yuan Du had great ability, he couldn't avenge Hu Xue. If he did, the rules that had been maintained for countless years in the Myriad Phenomenon Galaxy would inevitably be broken.
However, he really loved this concubine, and he couldn't just brush her off in front of her face, so he could only sigh and say, "Get up and talk."
Hu Xue sobbed, "If you don't agree, I won't get up."
Only Hu Xue dared to speak to Yuan Du like this. If it were any other concubine he didn't favour, Yuan Du would have already kicked them.
But how could he agree to this? Yuan Du could only patiently say, "That Lu Ye must die, but we need to think of a good way. This matter needs to be discussed at length."
Hu Xue wanted to say something more, but after meeting Yuan Du's gaze, she quickly swallowed her words, got up, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "You said it yourself. When we go back and kill Lu Ye, I want to see him die with my own eyes."
She was not a fool. How could a member of the Six-tailed Fox Clan be stupid? Although she could be arrogant because she was pampered, there was a limit to everything. She also knew that no matter how she acted coquettishly, Yuan Du wouldn't kill Lu Ye himself, but she needed Yuan Du to express his stance.
"Good, good, good," Yuan Du agreed.
Only then did Hu Xue stand behind Yuan Du with satisfaction, raising her jade-like hands and gently kneading them, showing her incomparably docile behavior.
Her clothes were extremely revealing, and her snow-white skin was dazzling to the eyes, but Yuan Cheng didn't dare to look at it and kept his head down.
Suddenly, the sound talisman moved again. Yuan Cheng hurriedly checked and looked up, "Ancestor, Lionheart sent a message."
"Trash, you still have the face to send a message!" Yuan Du couldn't help cursing, impatiently asking, "What did he say?"
Yuan Cheng said, "He said he's on his way to the All-encompassing Island. His injuries are serious and he needs to come to Ancestor's place to recuperate."
Yuan Du coldly snorted, "Sacrificing his Monster Core will indeed greatly injure his vitality, and he needs a great pill to recover. Looking at the entire All-encompassing Island, coming to my place is indeed his best choice."
"Then …" Yuan Cheng said tentatively.
Yuan Du sighed, "In the end, he's Zi Xuan's, it's not good to leave him alone. Go greet him."
"Yes!" Yuan Cheng complied.
"This Mistress will go with you. When I was in Zi Xuan, Senior Brother Lionheart took good care of me, like an elder brother. Now that he's in trouble, this Mistress will go see if there's anything I can help with," Hu Xue said softly.
"Go." Yuan Du waved his hand, of course he wouldn't refuse such a small matter.
Yuan Cheng and Hu Xue flew out together, Yuan Cheng in front and Hu Xue behind. This wasn't because Yuan Cheng was rude, but because Hu Xue's attire made it difficult for him to walk behind her. If he really walked behind her, he wouldn't know where to look.
Soon, the two left the All-encompassing Island and stood somewhere outside the island, waiting for Lionheart's arrival.
"How long will it take?" Hu Xue asked.
Yuan Cheng said, "I just contacted Fellow Daoist Lionheart, he's very close. He should be here in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Hu Xue slightly nodded, standing there elegantly. Many cultivators passing by couldn't help but look at her, but Hu Xue didn't seem to notice.
Suddenly, a powerful aura rapidly approached from the side. Its speed was simply unimaginable.
Hu Xue and Yuan Cheng couldn't help but turn their heads in that direction, and saw a ball of red light.
The red light suddenly stopped not far away from them, revealing a hidden figure.
His figure was as straight as a sword, his aura astonishing, his face young, and his expression cold.
Yuan Cheng was shocked, "Lu Ye!"
Why would this guy appear here? Indeed, according to the various reports he had received, Lu Ye had chased after Lionheart and left. But if he had been chasing after Lionheart, how could he have appeared in this place? He should have been behind Lionheart!
Something was wrong! Yuan Cheng's heart thumped.
"He's Lu Ye?" Beside Yuan Cheng, Hu Xue immediately shot her gaze over. Her beautiful eyes that were like stars were filled with rage and killing intent as she stared fixedly at him.
She had just begged Yuan Du to kill Lu Ye, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the real culprit would appear right under her nose.
Even though she was extremely shrewd, she couldn't suppress the killing intent in her heart.
The two of them spoke one after the other, but Lu Ye only glanced at them indifferently before looking away.
Although he didn't know Hu Xue, he recognized Yuan Cheng at a glance. After all, he had met him twice, but both times, he didn't leave a good impression on Yuan Cheng.
As for Hu Xue … Lu Ye could feel the demonic aura on her, and with her stunning beauty, he could vaguely guess her identity.
The first thought that came to his mind was, 'Why are these two people here?'
But soon he had a guess.
Yuan Cheng seemed to be waiting for someone here …
And judging from where Yuan Cheng was looking, the person he was waiting for was Lionheart, who had fled to the Island of Versatility!
Lu Ye immediately understood that Lionheart must have sent a message to Yuan Cheng, which was why Yuan Cheng was waiting here. In other words, he hadn't arrived too late, and Lionheart was approaching.
This undoubtedly proved that his previous strategy was correct. He should have rushed directly to the Island of Versatility to intercept Lionheart!
Island Lord Zi Xuan must die today!
Just as he was thinking this, a black dot at the edge of his field of vision rushed over, but because it was in poor condition, it wasn't very fast.
And from where the black dot was, he could clearly sense the power of brightness.
Lu Ye shook the long saber in his hand and rushed forward to meet it.
