Chapter 763: The Huge Crisis That Terrified Ye Xiu

After Huang Quan finished his sermon, Ye Xiu did not immediately go home. Instead, he ran to the seaside and, using the eighteen pagoda formation bases of Biluo Island, set up a Spirit Gathering Array that enveloped the entire island.

Although the global revival of Spiritual Energy was already underway, the Spiritual Energy on the Eternal Islands was still hundreds of times stronger than that of the rest of the world. With the addition of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Energy on Biluo Island would become dozens of times denser than on the other islands in the Eternal Islands.

Afterward, Ye Xiu returned to the Abandoned City and set up another Spirit Gathering Array there. With this, the Spiritual Energy inside the Abandoned City would be dozens of times denser than that of Biluo Island.

By the time he got home, it was already past midnight.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Xiu saw little Jiaojiao gnawing on Pipi Pig’s back. "Jiaojiao, what are you doing up so late instead of sleeping?"

"Master, let’s stew this little pig!" Jiaojiao’s eyes sparkled.

Upon hearing this, Pipi Pig’s fur stood on end. Jiaojiao had been nuzzling its back affectionately, so the pig thought the little guy actually liked it. It turned out he just wanted to eat it!

"Heh, your train of thought is really something else!" Ye Xiu laughed heartily, pinching Jiaojiao’s small face and saying dotingly, "Wait a moment, I’ll have someone roast some meat for you."

"We’re not stewing this little pig?" Jiaojiao asked, pointing at Pipi Pig.

Pipi Pig bolted!

The corner of Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched. "We don’t have a pot that big."

Jiaojiao thought for a moment. "Then never mind. I’ll go find Mistress."

With that, he ran into the villa to find Qin Qing.

What the...?

...

「The next morning!」

Tu La, Lin Chuan, and Cha Muxue had finally finished writing down everything they knew about the three Judicator Families, the Eternal Kingdom, and the prisoners.

Originally, Ye Xiu had only wanted Tu La to write. However, Chloe thought Tu La might scribble nonsense, so she had Lin Chuan and Cha Muxue write their own accounts as well. She also separated the three of them so that she could compare their reports and see who was lying.

Initially, Tu La had indeed planned to write nonsense, but after Chloe’s trick, he didn’t dare to anymore.

"Ye Xiu, I’ve written everything I know in the notebook. When do you plan to let us leave?" Tu La asked through gritted teeth.

Ye Xiu was about to answer when he suddenly received a call from Mo Luo. "Young Master, our agent on Seven-Star Island reports that a massacre is taking place."

"What?" Ye Xiu’s expression changed dramatically. "Who is it? How many people?"

Mo Luo replied, "A blind man pushing a man in a wheelchair who only has his upper body. It’s just the two of them. The strange thing is, the corpses of the people they kill all reanimate and are controlled by them to continue the slaughter."

"Corpse Control?" Ye Xiu exclaimed.

"It’s Wo Long and the Fledgling Phoenix," Tu La said with a solemn expression. "I described them in detail in my notes."

"Just tell me directly. What’s the deal with Wo Long and the Fledgling Phoenix?" There was too much to read in the notebook, and Ye Xiu couldn’t be bothered to flip through it.

Tu La said in a heavy tone, "Wo Long is congenitally blind, while the Fledgling Phoenix is congenitally disabled, born with only the upper half of his body. They were abandoned as children and endured endless humiliation, which led to their distorted psyches. Later, they obtained the inheritance of the Gu Clan and mastered unparalleled Witch Gu Techniques. Afterwards, they began to exact their revenge on society."

"Hundreds of thousands have died by their hands. Fifty years ago, the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom dispatched countless experts to hunt them down, only to be killed in return."

"In the end, it was only after the core members of the three Judicator Families personally took action that they were able to imprison them."

Hearing this, Ye Xiu’s expression turned even uglier. He asked, "What is their Cultivation? How many corpses can they control?"

Tu La replied, "Fifty years ago, they were already at the Peak of the Seventh Realm, and their Witch Gu Techniques are extremely sinister. Their strength can’t be judged by their Cultivation level. I have no idea how powerful they are now. As for how many corpses they can control, I don’t know that either. Fifty years ago, they could already control hundreds of thousands of corpses."

Actually, Tu La strongly disagreed with Stephanie’s decision to release all the prisoners from the Eternal Kingdom. The existence of many of those inmates was a threat to everyone in the kingdom.

This is trouble. If Wo Long and the Fledgling Phoenix control hundreds of thousands of corpses to attack Biluo Island, while countless people drawn by the bounty infiltrate the island amidst the chaos, the consequences will be unthinkable.

For the first time in ten years, Ye Xiu felt a sense of panic.

Just then, Mo Luo’s voice came from the phone again. "Our agent just reported that besides Wo Long and the Fledgling Phoenix, many other unidentified individuals are participating in the massacre on Biluo Island. Among them is Beishan Xiao, the man who massacred Jiaojiao’s entire family and has a knife stuck in his head."

Have the prisoners and those drawn by the bounty teamed up?

"Notify all Martial Artists on Biluo Island to enter a state of maximum combat readiness," Ye Xiu said gravely.

"Understood!" Mo Luo replied.

At this moment, Qin Qing spoke up in a serious tone, "We must strike first and head to Biluo Island. Otherwise, once that army of corpses, the prisoners, and the desperados lured by the bounty get onto the island, it will all be over."

"I’ll go by myself. All of you are to stay in the Abandoned City and go nowhere," Ye Xiu said with an unprecedented seriousness, "Leng Yue, lend me your Water System Totem."

He had given Tu La’s Water System Totem to Leng Yue, the Fire System Totem to Qin Qing, and the Strength Totem to An Dongye. In turn, he had taken An Dongye’s inherited Strength Totem for himself, while Cha Muxue’s Water System Totem had gone to Dizang.

To go to Seven-Star Island now, Ye Xiu needed a Water System Totem and could only borrow Leng Yue’s.

"Okay!" Leng Yue agreed readily.

And so, under the incredulous gazes of Tu La, Lin Chuan, and Cha Muxue, Ye Xiu absorbed Leng Yue’s Water System Totem into his own body.

"So, you didn’t destroy my and Cha Muxue’s Totems," Tu La said in shock. "You absorbed them into yourself and then gave them to others? Is this... is this the power of the Dragon God Totem?"

Ye Xiu didn’t answer. Instead, he sneered, "You and Cha Muxue will accompany me to Seven-Star Island."

"I’m not going!" Tu La howled. "Our Qi Seas have already been crippled by Leng Yue! We’re ordinary people now! Going to Seven-Star Island is certain death!"

"You don’t have a choice!" Ye Xiu killed Lin Chuan with a single slap, then grabbed Tu La and Cha Muxue and rushed out.

Lin Chuan collapsed limply to the ground. A moment ago, he had felt relieved that Ye Xiu was only taking Tu La and Cha Muxue, leaving him behind. He now realized his mistake: Ye Xiu wasn’t leaving him behind, he was simply never planning on letting him live.

...

「Golden Family!」

"How is the plan progressing?" Stephanie asked lazily.

The butler waiting in the living room replied respectfully, "The plan is proceeding mostly as you predicted. All the prisoners and the vast majority of those tempted by the bounty have reached Seven-Star Island, but..."

"But what?" Stephanie asked.

The butler continued respectfully, "All the descendants of the prisoners from the various islands have gone to Drunken Fairy Island, to the northwest of Biluo Island. Hell’s Gate has gone to Phoenix Perch Island, to the northeast."

Stephanie frowned. "Hell’s Gate and the prisoner descendants are trying to use the chaos to gain independence, are they? Hmph, too bad for them. They’ll never get through the Formations on Drunken Fairy Island and Phoenix Perch Island."

"The Formations on Drunken Fairy Island and Phoenix Perch Island have been broken," the butler announced.

"What?" Stephanie exclaimed.

The butler continued, "Additionally, I’ve received information that those who entered Seven-Star Island are conducting a mass slaughter."

"How can this be?" Stephanie suddenly felt she was losing control of her plan. After a long moment, she sighed. "It seems Wo Long and the Fledgling Phoenix intend to kill everyone on Seven-Star Island and control their corpses to attack Biluo Island. Well, so be it. To eliminate the Martial Artists from around the world, sacrificing the people on Seven-Star Island is an acceptable price."

Her ruthless, cold-hearted side was on full display.
