"I've always felt that the name Lu Ye sounded familiar, but now I know that you are the Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens." Hei Yun smiled slightly, his gaze somewhat scrutinizing, "Your cultivation speed is really fast. You were only at the Divine Sea realm back then, but now you're already at the intermediate Moon Jade stage. Even Lionheart is no match for you."
"I was just lucky." Lu Ye said as he gestured, "Demon Venerable, please!"
Hei Yun nodded and walked up the bamboo building with his hands still behind his back.
After a short while, the host and guest took their seats. Hei Yun was still looking around, as if curious about everything. However, Lu Ye's bamboo building was extremely simple and crude. Besides a few pieces of furniture, there was nothing else, so Hei Yun couldn't see anything special about it.
The visitor was a guest, and the other party was Ri Guang, who had come by asking for an audience. Of course, Lu Ye couldn't be rude. He took out a tea set from his storage ring and slowly began to brew tea.
Amidst the fragrance of the tea, Hei Yun suddenly said, "Actually, this Venerable has always been very curious about one thing. Can Island Master Lu enlighten me?"
"What is Demon Venerable talking about?"
"Back then, during the battle of the Divine Sea realm in the Alpha Origin stage, how did you kill all the vampires? Do you have some kind of method that can target vampires and accurately find them? "
"Something like that." Lu Ye nodded. Speaking of which, he had learned the [Blood Cry] technique from a certain vampire. Otherwise, how could he have found the other vampires?
"To be able to find them and kill them all, this kind of strength is rare in the Divine Sea realm. Back then, in the Alpha Origin stage, the vampires could easily gather together by relying on their special bloodline. In other words, at that time, you had the strength to be invincible among your peers. Now, you can still do this even at the Moon Jade stage. The talent of the human race is really terrifying and enviable."
"I dare not call myself invincible, Demon Venerable is too kind." Lu Ye carefully replied. After all, the other party was Ri Guang. No matter how approachable and harmless he appeared, Lu Ye still had to be on guard.
Although he was here with his Talent Tree Avatar, and even if something happened, it wouldn't affect his main body, it was better to be careful.
"There is one more thing that this Venerable doesn't understand." Hei Yun did not seek Lu Ye's opinion this time and asked directly, "What means did you use to break Purple Jade Island's Defensive Array?"
It had already been more than two months since the Three World Island attacked and occupied Zi Xuan. Hei Yun rushed over after receiving the news. Naturally, he had already learned the whole story from Lionheart.
Disregarding the powerful individual strength that Lu Ye had displayed from the beginning to the end, what Hei Yun couldn't understand the most was why Zi Xuan's defensive array had a problem at that critical juncture, giving Lu Ye an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Was it a coincidence? That was too much of a coincidence.
But if it wasn't a coincidence, there seemed to be no way to explain it.
If Zi Xuan's defensive array didn't have any problems, even if the Three World Island had a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to break it! The sudden collapse of the protective formation was the root cause of Zi Xuan's destruction.
All the cultivators on the Ten Thousand Forms Sea who witnessed the battle felt that it was a coincidence, but Hei Yun felt that something was amiss.
"There's something wrong with Zi Xuan's defensive formation. I didn't break it. I just happened to be there." Of course, Lu Ye wouldn't admit to the details. If the secret of the Minor Constellation Hall was exposed, he would no longer have a foothold in the Ten Thousand Forms Sea.
If he could use the Minor Constellation Hall to destroy Zi Xuan today, then could he destroy the Ten Thousand Forms Island in the future?
The defenses of the other top-grade spiritual islands were no longer as impregnable.
"Have some tea, Demon Venerable." Lu Ye raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Hei Yun.
Hei Yun nodded. He was about to say something when Lu Ye interrupted him.
"If Demon Venerable wants to take back Zi Xuan Island, the Three World Island has no objections. However, we have two conditions!"
Even if the other party was Rizhao, Lu Ye couldn't let him have the initiative of the conversation.
The issue of Zi Xuan's ownership was his trump card. Hei Yun had no choice but to respond to this topic, unless he didn't want Zi Xuan Island anymore.
Hei Yun obviously realized how difficult it was to deal with Lu Ye. The relaxed attitude that he had deliberately created was instantly shattered with this sentence.
He raised his teacup and took a sip. He smiled and said, "Speak."
Lu Ye looked at him and said seriously, "The first condition is that the Three World Island wants Zi Xuan to compensate us with ten billion spirit jades or resources of the same value!"
Hei Yun opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Lu Ye interrupted him. "Let me first explain to Demon Venerable why we want this compensation. That day, I received an invitation from Zi Xuan and went to attend the banquet. During the banquet, your island's demonic cultivators wanted to perform a blood sacrifice. The sacrifice was a newly promoted Yue Yao from the Three World Island! In order to save his life, I negotiated with Hu Guang to redeem him with one billion spirit jades. Hu Guang agreed. He promised that as long as I paid him one billion spirit jades, he could take the island's cultivators and leave safely. Demon Venerable can find someone to verify this. Many people saw it with their own eyes that day. After that, I immediately ordered people to gather one billion spirit jades of resources and sent them to Zi Xuan Island. Hu Guang led his people to receive them, but in the blink of an eye, he reneged on his debt and embezzled those treasures.
Hei Yun pursed his lips. When he was about to speak, Lu Ye said, "Although ten billion is a lot, I believe Zi Xuan can take it out. Demon Venerable, you don't have to bargain. My conditions are the bottom line of the Three World Island. This is only asking Zi Xuan to pay back ten times. If Demon Venerable wants to bargain, I can totally ask for twenty billion, thirty billion, or even more."
Hei Yun frowned. For the first time since he met Lu Ye, he didn't look as calm as before.
Ten billion spirit jades, or resources of the same value, was not a small sum, even for Zi Xuan.
He looked up at Lu Ye and said, "But as far as I know, after you attacked Zi Xuan, you should have taken back the spirit jades. Not only that, there should be even more loot in the treasury."
Lu Ye said indifferently, "Demon Venerable, you also said that those were loot! Our Three World Island sent troops and cultivators to fight. Don't we need to consume resources? If Demon Venerable confuses the loot with the ransom paid by our island, then it's completely unreasonable. "He said in a serious tone," Only if you agree to the first condition can we continue to talk! "
Hei Yun stared at Lu Ye for a long time before saying, "You're a little rude, aren't you? This Venerable is Rizhao, after all!" In other words, Lu Ye didn't have the humble attitude that Yue Yao should have when facing Rizhao.
Lu Ye said matter-of-factly, "Demon Venerable, we're negotiating, not chatting. I believe that Demon Venerable has already mentally prepared himself before coming here."
Hei Yun snorted. He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect Lu Ye to be so greedy.
After a moment of silence, Hei Yun said, "I agree to the first condition. Tell me about the second one!"
They lost the battle of the spiritual islands and lost Zi Xuan. Now that they wanted to take back Zi Xuan, the Three World Island's attitude was the key. As long as the Three World Island insisted, he had to agree to this condition.
Lu Ye's eyes flashed with killing intent, "I want Lionheart's life!" Lionheart escaped to the Island of Versatility. This was a thorn in his heart. He had to remove it no matter what.
The reason why he wanted to sell Zi Xuan back then was not only because Zi Xuan could offer a very high price. If it was purely for the Spirit Jades, there was no need for him to sell it back to Zi Xuan. Even if other forces offered a lower price, Lu Ye could still accept it.
The main reason was to kill Lionheart.
Lionheart escaped to the Island of Versatility. As long as he didn't come out, Lu Ye would never have the chance to kill him.
Of course, Lionheart couldn't hide in the Island of Versatility forever. However, Lu Ye couldn't keep an eye on him forever. Therefore, he had to think of other ways to kill Lionheart.
Hei Yun said in a low voice, "Kid, don't be rude!"
Lu Ye said calmly, "Let me explain to the Demon Lord why I want Lionheart's life."
Hei Yun's head hurt when he heard this. It sounded so familiar …
"That day, Hu Guang refused to admit that he had taken the ransom from Three World Island. That Lionheart swallowed the newly promoted Yue Yao Guard alive. A life for a life, a debt of blood for a blood debt, right?"
Hei Yun said, "Your Three World Island lost Wei Po, but Zi Xuan's casualties are far greater than yours. How do you explain this?"
"If it weren't for Lionheart swallowing Wei Po, there wouldn't have been such a dispute. The Purple Jade's Death was the result of war, it was completely self-inflicted. How can it be compared to the death of Wei Po?" Lu Ye argued.
"Alright!" Hei Yun became serious, "Let's not talk about the losses from the war. As far as I know, Zi Xuan captured Wei Po because he killed Zi Xuan's yao cultivator first."
Lu Ye couldn't help but sneer, "Demon Lord, you believe this? Zi Xuan is so famous. Although Wei Po hasn't been in the Wanxiang Sea for long, he at least knows who he can offend and who he can't. Let's not talk about whether he would pass by Zi Xuan. Even if he did, he would stay far away. How could he kill Zi Xuan's yao cultivator near Zi Xuan? Lionheart isn't dead yet. Demon Lord, you can ask him what's going on. Of course, if Demon Lord pretends to be confused, then we don't have to talk anymore. I think Demon Lord knows better than anyone why my Junior Brother Wei Po was captured. Zi Xuan Island became someone's lackey and schemed against the Three World Island. Who can they blame for their current situation? It's a pity that my Junior Brother Wei Po just became a Yue Yao cultivator with a bright future, but he became Zi Xuan's chess piece. What crime did Wei Po commit? "
"How dare you!" Hei Yun couldn't help but be called a lackey by Lu Ye. "Do you really think that I won't do anything to you just because your clone is here?"
Lu Ye blinked and said, "I do have a clone, but since I'm meeting Demon Lord, I won't be so careless. If Demon Lord wants to make a move, just do it."
It was possible for Hei Yun to see through the details of the Precious Blood Avatar, but with the Talent Tree Avatar here, Lu Ye was sure that even Hei Yun could not see through it. That sentence just now was just a test of Hei Yun's annoyance.
He couldn't wait for Hei Yun to make a move. If that happened, he would lose a Talent Tree Clone. He just needed to take back the roots of the Talent Tree and be a hero again.
However, once Hei Yun made a move here, Zi Xuan Demon Star would no longer have a place to stand in the vast Wanxiang Sea.
