Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1748 - 1746: Miracle

Lu Ye could naturally see the threat in Yuan Du's eyes, but he was completely unmoved. There was simply no possibility of reconciliation between the Three Worlds Island and Yuan Du. Not to mention today's events, Old Tang had previously been ambushed, and Yuan Du's shadow was also present then.

It was certain that Baiyue Island was under the influence of Yuan Du. Today, Three Worlds Island's strong assault on Baiyue had already offended him, and Yuan Du had already borne a grudge against him and the Three Worlds Island, so... what's the harm in offending him further?

He met Yuan Du's gaze unflinchingly.

He wasn't worried that Yu Huan would run away. Yu Huan had the power of the barghest within him, and within a certain range, Lu Ye could manipulate it and take his life at any moment!

Of course, beyond that range, it wouldn't work. At most, he could only locate Yu Huan's position, but Yu Huan was now gravely wounded, like a stray dog. Even though the All Phenomena Ocean is vast, where could he possibly escape to?

Today, he would surely die!

In the silence of a few breaths, Yuan Du's mana suddenly surged around him. He raised a hand and gently grasped in the direction where Yu Huan was.

In that direction, Yu Huan, who had already fled a thousand miles, suddenly seemed to be bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

Immediately, he felt that force suddenly intensify, and his bones began to creak.

He was greatly terrified, exclaiming, "Governor Yuan, spare me!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yuan Du ignored him, only looking coldly at Lu Ye, and spoke loudly, "Yu Huan of Baiyue Island, fraudulent and deceitful, deceiving those above. Today, this governor shall execute him. Let this be a lesson to future generations: the All Phenomena Ocean has its regulations. Anyone who dares to violate them will not go unpunished by us Sun Blaze governors!"

With those words, he fiercely clenched his wide-open hand.

A thousand miles away, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded, and Moon Jade's vitality vanished.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

He had only asked Yuan Du to return the fleeing Yu Huan to him, which was a reasonable request, after all, Yu Huan had been forcibly rescued from under his blade.

Yet, Yuan Du directly killed Yu Huan. Despite being severely injured, Yu Huan was a Moon Jade Late Stage. To be crushed like an ant from a thousand miles away...

The power of Sun Blaze... how terrifying!

What concerned Lu Ye was not Yuan Du's displayed strength, but his actions.

He had asked Yuan Du to return Yu Huan, intending to disgust him with his continuous claims of fairness and justice, but Yuan Du did not act as he had hoped. Instead, he killed Yu Huan and took the opportunity to promote the regulations of the All Phenomena Ocean, invisibly erasing much against him.

At least at this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Du has reestablished the image of upholding fairness and justice in the All Phenomena Ocean.

These old fellows... are truly not to be messed with.

Yuan Du still gazed at Lu Ye, his expression showing no emotion, and said lightly, "This governor could not ascertain the truth and was nearly deceived by a treacherous person today. Thankfully, no major mistake was made. Yu Huan deceived me and has paid the price. Are you satisfied now?"

What else could Lu Ye say? He immediately cupped his fists, "The governor's actions are indeed fair and just. We are convinced. Rest assured, we will adhere to the rules in the All Phenomena Ocean in the future and will not overstep even slightly!"

"I hope so. Take care of yourself!" Yuan Du gave him a deep look, then his form flickered and disappeared.

That Yuan Cheng gave Lu Ye a sinister look as well and flew towards All Phenomena Island aboard his starboat.

With the end of the commotion, Lu Ye felt his entire body drenched in sweat. Facing such a Sun Blaze face-to-face was indeed immense pressure, especially since the opponent suppressed him with overwhelming power upon appearing, making even his blood Qi somewhat stagnant now.

The onlooking cultivators gradually dispersed, and after resting a bit, Lu Ye called out to Ma Shangsi, "Let's go!"

Ma Shangsi summoned a cloud of blood mist, enveloping Lu Ye, and flew towards Baiyue Island.

When Lu Ye and his servant returned to Baiyue Island, the battle here had already ended. The Three Worlds cultivators were resting. Upon seeing Lu Ye return, several Moon Jade cultivators from this island immediately approached him.

Luan Xiao'e asked, "What happened?"

They had sensed the presence of a Sun Blaze from afar but couldn't leave, so they had no idea what had happened.

"A false alarm. I'll explain later." Lu Ye's Mental Consciousness surged as he checked the situation on Baiyue Island. "How are the casualties?"

Luan Xiao'e replied excitedly, "Only injuries, no deaths!"

This was an incredible miracle. Throughout the Spirit Island battles in the All Phenomena Ocean, even in battles for low-class Spirit Islands, it was rare for a side to have no fatalities, especially since Three Worlds Island was the attacking party.

Thinking back over this battle of contention, everything had been within Lu Ye's planning and arrangement.

Lu Ye disguised himself as Chu Zhu and infiltrated Baiyue Island, using the Small Flower World to place five hundred cultivators in three Array Base Halls. These three halls were strongly protected by Formations, so even though everyone was deep within enemy territory, as long as the Formations remained intact, they were not in any mortal danger.

Before the island-protecting array of Baiyue Island was breached, few of the Three Worlds cultivators were injured.

Once the big island-protecting array was broken, and the Three Worlds cultivators had gathered their forces to besiege the Central Hub, the tug-of-war between them similarly resulted in no damages until the Giant Armor took charge of the Black Tortoise Great Array, and with the combined force of five Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators, forcibly broke the Central Hub's big array. That was the moment when the Three Worlds cultivators faced their greatest peril.

Because at that time, Baiyue Island still had over a thousand Constellation cultivators, even more than those on Three Worlds Island.

If the Baiyue cultivators had decided to fight to the death, Three Worlds Island would certainly have suffered significant casualties.

But just after the defenses of the Central Hub were broken, Yu Huan, who was considered a pillar of strength, surprisingly fled first...

The Baiyue cultivators already had restless hearts, and Yu Huan's escape completely crushed the Constellation cultivators' will to fight. When Jiang Jiao was slain, Baiyue lost its backbone, and the Constellation cultivators scattered in retreat.

This led to a miraculous Spirit Island battle where no one from Three Worlds Island died.

Injuries were inevitable in such fierce confrontations where no one could guarantee they would remain unscathed, but fortunately, the healing cultivators present began treatment promptly, so the situation was manageable.

At that time, within the Central Hub, more than twelve hundred Constellation cultivators from Baiyue had gathered; after this battle, more than half escaped, with only over four hundred being killed by the Three Worlds cultivators.

As for those who escaped, Three Worlds Island couldn't do much, for even with three Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators on their side, it wasn't possible to completely annihilate the enemy in such circumstances.

After listening to Luan Xiao'e's report, Lu Ye nodded and said, "Not bad!"

This battle undoubtedly brought fame to Three Worlds Island and perfectly achieved its initial purpose.

While a few Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators from this island were conversing on Baiyue Island, the cultivators outside were still immersed in great shock.

They witnessed firsthand a battle for a high-class Spirit Island, yet no one expected the course of the war to be so unusual.

As the defending side, Baiyue Island not only failed to hold its eight-hundred-year foundation but also lost all its Moon Jade, and countless Constellation cultivators were killed, while on the Three Worlds Island side, surprisingly, no one died!

How absurd is this?

Many Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators have witnessed several high-class Spirit Island battles, never imagining that a conflict of this scale would yield such an incredible result.

How could Three Worlds Island be so powerful?

But looking only at the surface strength of Three Worlds Island, it wasn't particularly strong; five Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators were a standard configuration, and a thousand Constellation cultivators wasn't a large number. Hence, everyone was puzzled about how Three Worlds Island achieved such a feat.

This matter seemed peculiar.

It can't be said that Baiyue Island was cooperating with Three Worlds Island in some sort of performance; no force would pay such a high price to elevate another's prestige.

"Brother Woo, latest news, Three Worlds Island has been occupied."

Beside Brother Woo, a companion holding an audio talisman suddenly spoke.

"Who did it?" Brother Woo was astonished.

"Giant Blade Island!" the companion replied.

Brother Woo showed a knowing expression: "The Giant Blade Galaxy is adjacent to Baiyue Galaxy, and the cultivators from the two galaxies are on good terms. Since Baiyue Island was attacked, Yu Huan likely sent news requesting assistance from Giant Blade Island. With everyone from Three Worlds Island over here, it was empty over there, so getting occupied makes sense." Saying this, he suddenly chuckled, "Just wonder if Zhao Yunqi still has the guts to stay on Three Worlds Island now."

Zhao Yunqi was the First Island Master of Giant Blade Island and was quite close with Yu Huan. When Three Worlds Island invaded Baiyue, he was willing to intervene a bit to ease Baiyue's pressure. But if news from here reached back, it would be uncertain whether Zhao Yunqi would dare to stay on Three Worlds Island.

A vast Baiyue Island, easily broken by Three Worlds Island's side; yet the strength of Giant Blade Island is somewhat weaker than Baiyue Island. Zhao Yunqi must weigh the consequences of staying on Three Worlds Island and consider if he can withstand the wrath of Three Worlds Island cultivators.

The companion also grinned, gave a thumbs-up, and said: "Brother Woo, keen insight. The person who sent me the message said Giant Blade Island had started building defenses on Three Worlds Island, but now they seem to be preparing to withdraw troops."

"Understandably, today's battle greatly boosted Three Worlds Island's prestige; Zhao Yunqi, if he's still sensible, shouldn't insist on staying on Three Worlds Island. Otherwise, he might end up in trouble despite having no gains."

"Brother Woo, now that Three Worlds Island occupies Baiyue as well, holding onto two high-class Spirit Islands seems quite unreasonable."

"That depends on how ambitious they are. If they have a big enough appetite, they could divide it up and occupy the islands under the names of their respective domains, which wouldn't break any rules. Of course, the premise is that their domains have the strength to hold a high-class Spirit Island."

"Difficult. I see that those from Three Worlds Island act as a united star system, with only five Moon Jade and a thousand Constellation cultivators, barely able to hold onto one high-class Spirit Island. Definitely not capable of holding two."

"Without that strength, they'll surely have to retreat to Three Worlds Island." That's the obvious prediction. Comparatively, the value of Three Worlds Island is undoubtedly greater than Baiyue since Three Worlds Island has a larger scale, hence Brother Woo believes that those from Three Worlds Island won't abandon this island.
