This was undoubtedly a happy problem. There were many factions in the Vientiane Sea, but there were only so many Spiritual Islands. Many factions did not have a place to settle down and could only wander around. If they were lucky, they could find a deserted island to settle down temporarily. If they were unlucky, they would be homeless.
However, when it came to the Three World Island, the situation was different.
Back then, they conquered Baiyue and secretly gave it to Four Corner Island. Now that they had conquered Zi Xuan, they could not even take it.
This was …
"We can't take Zi Xuan. We can confirm this, right?" Tang Jun looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded.
Actually, even if Tang Jun did not mention this, Luan Xiaoe would have gathered Yue Yao to discuss how to deal with Zi Xuan. Now, it seemed like they had agreed not to take Zi Xuan.
"If we don't want Zi Xuan, how should we deal with it?" He Baichuan asked. It was not easy to conquer such a top-grade Spiritual Island. They could not just lose it.
If they did, someone would definitely come and take it. It was a great benefit.
"Auction?" Yan Miao suggested, "Just like how we auctioned off Baiyue. We should be able to sell it for a good price."
"Although this method works, I am afraid no one would dare to take it," Luan Xiaoe said.
After all, Zi Xuan was a Spiritual Island occupied by a top-grade faction. Although it had been conquered by the Three World Island, it was not something that anyone could covet. This top-grade Spiritual Island was different from Baiyue. Back then, countless factions fought over Baiyue and competed with each other during the auction. However, no one dared to take over Zi Xuan. This was because once they did, they would definitely stand against Zi Xuan.
If Zi Xuan lost her Spiritual Island, she would definitely think of a way to get it back. Take Four Corner Island for example. The Baiyue Galaxy had been eyeing Four Corner Island covetously. They wanted to take back control of Four Corner Island. However, Four Corner Island was not weak. The Baiyue Galaxy could not do anything.
However, Zi Xuan was different. If they did not have any backing, they would not dare to have any ideas.
This might be a hot potato.
"Wrong!" Tang Jun smiled. "There are indeed people who are interested in Zi Xuan."
"What news did you get?" Lu Ye looked at him and asked.
Tang Jun said, "After you conquered Zi Xuan, someone sent a message saying that they want to take over Zi Xuan. They want us to offer a reasonable price. There are not many people, but there are four or five factions."
Lu Ye asked curiously, "Who is so bold?"
Tang Jun said, "In a place without rules, I'm afraid no one would dare to disregard Zi Xuan's reputation. However, this is the Wanxiang Sea after all. Although Zi Xuan's reputation is great, the rule that only the five registered Yue Yao are qualified to participate in the Battle of the Spiritual Islands means that Zi Xuan won't cause too much trouble in the vast Wanxiang Sea. After those forces take over Zi Xuan, as long as they properly fortify their defenses, it won't be that easy for Zi Xuan to deploy troops to take them down. As long as they can hold on for a period of time and wait for the defensive formation to become more stable, they will be able to gain a firm foothold. Therefore, this has nothing to do with courage. Zi Xuan is indeed a top-level domain, but the universe is vast. Some large domains have very strong foundations.
Lu Ye understood. It was not that those who had secretly contacted Tang Jun and wanted to stay in Zi Xuan were not unafraid of Zi Xuan. It was just that the rules of the Wanxiang Sea had greatly restricted Zi Xuan. Even if Zi Xuan had great strength, there was a limit to what it could do on the Wanxiang Sea. Therefore, it was worth the risk. Moreover, they had a certain level of confidence.
If they missed this opportunity, they might not be able to wait for the next opportunity in their lifetime. Naturally, someone would take action.
"Although four or five isn't much, we should be able to sell it for a good price." He Baichuan nodded. "We can sell it."
Luan Xiaoe pondered for a moment. She was also tempted. Under the premise that the cultivators of the Three Realms could not take over Zi Xuan, selling it was indeed the only choice.
Everyone turned to look at Lu Ye. Although Lu Ye was only the Third Island Master in name, he had played a decisive role in the development of the Three Realms Island over the years. He was also the one who led and resolved all the difficulties that the island faced. If not for him, Zi Xuan would not have been able to take it down.
Therefore, it was up to him to decide what to do in the end.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye said, "We definitely have to sell it. I already have a suitable buyer in mind. Moreover, I believe that they will give us a very high price."
Luan Xiaoe was stunned. "Who?" She did not see Lu Ye contact anyone. How did he find a suitable buyer?
Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Old Tang, you didn't rush over here just to discuss the ownership of Zi Xuan, right? Is there something else going on here? "
If it was just to discuss the ownership of Zi Xuan, it could have been delayed. However, Tang Jun had rushed over directly. There was no doubt that something was wrong.
Tang Jun smiled and said, "You're so smart! Since you've figured it out, I won't keep you in suspense. It's like this. Not long after you killed Lionheart outside the Island of Versatility, a guest came to the Three Realms Island. It was Daoist Yue from the Che Ling Realm. She passed by the Three Realms Island and went to see that brat Chu Shen. After she left, Chu Shen came to find me and said something. "
"What?" He Baichuan asked curiously.
Tang Jun said, "You can think of a way to sell Zi Xuan Island back to the Zi Xuan Demon Star!"
He Baichuan was stunned and looked confused. "What kind of logic is that? It wasn't easy for us to conquer it. If we sell it back, wouldn't it be a waste of our efforts? "
Tang Jun nodded and said, "Yes, when I heard this, I also had the same thought. However, what Chu Shen said to me was obviously Daoist Yue's advice. Daoist Yue is a cultivator from the Che Ling Realm, so she can't have any direct contact with us. That's why she asked Chu Shen to pass on the message." After a pause, Tang Jun continued, "Thinking deeper, could Daoist Yue's meaning be the same as that of the Che Ling Realm? If that's the case, then it's very profound. "
It was impossible to guess Ri Guang's thoughts, but no one dared to ignore it.
"That's why I've been thinking along the way. What's the meaning behind this? We destroyed Zi Xuan Island and killed so many Zi Xuan Demon Star cultivators. Even if we sell it back to them, it won't resolve this grudge. If that's the case, why should we sell it back to Zi Xuan? "Tang Jun showed a distressed expression.
He Baichuan asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Tang Jun chuckled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Lu Ye. "Who's the suitable person you're talking about?"
Lu Ye said calmly, "Zi Xuan Demon Star!"
Tang Jun pointed at him and clapped his hands. "See, he's thought it through!"
He Baichuan felt a headache coming. "Don't beat around the bush. Tell me, what are you guys thinking?"
Tang Jun smiled and said, "It's very simple. If Zi Xuan wants to sell it, then it must be sold at a high price. Of course, the few forces who are interested will not offer a low price. However, only by selling it to Zi Xuan can it be sold at the highest price! To Zi Xuan, buying back this Spiritual Island is not just about making a deal. They want to buy face! " At this point, Tang Jun sighed. "A top force losing a Spiritual Island in the Vientiane Sea is something that has never happened before. If Zi Xuan doesn't buy back the Spiritual Island, they will be the only top force without a top-notch Spiritual Island from today onwards. They will become the subject of discussion at all times. The reputation of a top force is so precious that it can't be bought with money. Hence, by selling it to Zi Xuan, we will have the absolute advantage. We can name whatever price we want and as much as we want!"
After hearing Tang Jun's explanation, He Baichuan was enlightened.
Yes, the Spiritual Island had a price, but face was priceless!
In order to get back the Spiritual Island, as long as the price offered by the Three World Island was not too outrageous, Zi Xuan Demon Star would accept it.
Most importantly, in terms of wealth, which force could be compared to a top force? The benefits of selling it to others were definitely not as good as selling it back to Zi Xuan Demon Star.
This was the best target to sell Zi Xuan to.
Jiu Yan must have seen through this, which was why she instructed Aunt Yue to make a trip to the Three World Island and pass on this idea to Chu Shen.
Tang Jun did not expect Lu Ye to have the same idea as Jiu Yan. Therefore, even if he did not make this trip, Lu Ye would have already made a decision.
"Will Zi Xuan buy it?" He Baichuan asked.
Tang Jun said, "Don't worry about that. Zi Xuan will definitely buy it. Once the news reaches Zi Xuan Demon Star, someone will not be able to sit still." As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Alright, if I knew that you had already made a decision, I would not have made this trip. You guys go ahead, I will make a move first."
Tang Jun left. After a few days, the cultivators of the Three World Island left one after another.
The huge top-grade Spiritual Island had become an empty island without a master in an instant.
Originally, Luan Xiaoe wanted to set up a simple defensive array here and leave some cultivators of the Three World Island to guard it. However, she gave up after Lu Ye's persuasion.
Yuan Du hated him to the core, so it was best for the Three World Island to be more careful. They did not want to give Yuan Du any information that could be used against them.
If they divided their forces to occupy Zi Xuan, it would undoubtedly break the rule that no one force could occupy two Spiritual Islands on the Wanxiang Sea. At that time, Yuan Du would use this as an excuse to make a fuss. Even if he killed the cultivators of the Three World Island, Lu Ye could only watch helplessly.
The cultivators of the Three Realms retreated. Anything of value on Violet Jade Island had been taken away, with the exception of the spirit jade mine. Even so, no power dared to casually occupy it. After all, if the Three Realms Island had the ability to destroy Violet Jade when it was at its peak, then they had the ability to destroy Violet Jade in its current state.
No matter who came to occupy Zi Xuan, they would definitely encounter the enmity of the Three World Island. Once they were attacked, things would not end well.
All the major forces on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea were well aware of this. Therefore, although they were envious, they could only restrain themselves. The few forces that were interested in buying Zi Xuan had been in frequent contact with Tang Jun these days. Even though Tang Jun had clearly rejected them, they still couldn't resist their enthusiasm.
Recently, Lao Tang could be said to be enjoying himself every night. Although he was old, he was still strong and vigorous. He was very distressed.
The fierce battle thus came to an end. The shock this battle brought to the cultivators of the Wanxiang Sea was far greater than the previous attack by the Three World Island.
This was the first top Spiritual Island to be conquered in the history of the Wanxiang Sea.
The Three World Island once again proved its powerful and terrifying foundation. Among them, the Third Island Master of the Three World Island, Lu Ye, had solidified the title of the strongest person under the sun.
