Chapter 1118: Chapter 1104: Dividing the Spoils
Above the sea region a million miles west of Heavenly Wing Island, the leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, and the third Tower Chief of Stars Tower, Ou Tu, exchanged glances in silence for a long time!
The only difference was that Ou Tu was filled with anger, while Jie Tianhe’s expression was pale with a hint of embarrassment.
“Leader Jie, how could you fail to take even one move from that Jinghai and turn tail to run? Now, the Yin Yang Island has been utterly destroyed, and the Yin Yang Saints’ lives are unknown!” Ou Tu reproached.
“Alas…”
Jie Tianhe sighed heavily first, “I entrusted everything to your strategy, so I acted according to your plan. Who would have thought the situation would turn so sharply downward, and things would directly escalate into violence! I was heavily injured previously in the Huichun Blessed Land, and only one move from Jinghai triggered my old wound, forcing me to flee!”
“Are you blaming me, Leader Jie?” Ou Tu’s expression turned cold abruptly.
“How could I!”
“After all, none of us expected that Jinghai would possess such a mysterious trump card, capable of compelling Hei Tian and others to immediately swear a Divine Soul oath and betray us!
What could Jinghai possibly offer them to make them risk offending us to such an extreme degree?” Jie Tianhe asked.
“I am puzzled too! However, I have already issued a death order within Stars Tower to find out the trump card of Great Saint Jinghai within the shortest time.
Regardless of Wu Shu from Anning Island or Yang Min from Bai Cong Island, to cause Hei Tian’s immediate betrayal, it must be nothing simple!” Ou Tu stated.
After pondering for a while, Jie Tianhe asked again, “Although we’ve suffered a setback this time, it wasn’t due to Brother Ou’s miscalculations. Brother Ou has always had unparalleled intelligence. Do you have plans for dealing with Ye Zhen next?”
This question knitted Ou Tu’s brows into a tight frown: “After this battle, Ye Zhen and Heavenly Wing Island have truly taken shape.
Most importantly, through this battle, we found that the bond between the Sky Wing Three Saints and Ye Zhen, Old Fourth, is indeed genuine! If we were to kill Ye Zhen alone, you and I would have to sleep with one eye open in the future.
Thus, from now on, to confront Ye Zhen, we must utterly annihilate Heavenly Wing Island to eliminate the root completely! By the way, Leader Jie, how long will you need to fully recover from your injuries?” Ou Tu asked.
“The injuries on me will take at least a year to heal, maybe more than a year and a half for complete recovery.” Jie Tianhe replied.
“A year and a half, just in time for the sixty-first cycle of Ancient Demon God Palace to appear in the world, shall we wait for the Ancient Demon God Palace’s emergence and then unleash full force to destroy Heavenly Wing Island?” Ou Tu sought opinion.
“Agreed!”
‘Clap’, a sound echoed as Ou Tu and Jie Tianhe struck hands in oath.
“Oh right, Leader Jie, you are conveniently located in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, make sure to try to contact Yin Yi and Yang Ben from Yin Yang Island!
When dealing with Heavenly Wing Island, these two people are not only highly skilled, existing in the Dao Entrance Realm, but also harbor enmity against Heavenly Wing Island, they will definitely fight to the death.” Ou Tu said.
“Rest assured, Tower Chief Ou, as long as these two are still in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, I will certainly be able to reach them…”
As Jie Tianhe was speaking, a talisman light fell into his hands, and with a slight movement of Divine Sense, the last bit of color on his pale old face faded instantly, causing even his figure to sway involuntarily.
This incident drastically changed Ou Tu’s expression. If it caused someone of Jie Tianhe’s status to react so, the content of this talisman communication must be extraordinary.
“Leader Jie, has something major occurred?” Ou Tu pressed.
Jie Tianhe didn’t respond immediately, and under Ou Tu’s hopeful gaze, he hesitated for a long time before slowly answering, “Just received accurate intelligence: both Yin Yi and Yang Ben of the Yin Yang Saints have… fallen!”
“What? Both have fallen?”
“Dao Entrance Realm powerhouses have fallen, and two at that? This is impossible!” Ou Tu exclaimed.
“Absolutely certain!
To quickly take over Heavenly Wing Island, Jinghai carried the corpses of Yin Yi and Yang Ben around Yin Yang Island, taking talismans from their storage rings, resulting in tens of thousands of martial artists on Yin Yang Island instantly surrendering…” While saying this, Jie Tianhe appeared somewhat lost in spirit.
Upon hearing this, Ou Tu’s complexion also turned pale, “How many years has it been, it’s been ages since any Dao Entrance Realm presence fell, and today, by the hands of Sky Wing Three Saints, they actually killed two…”
“The Sky Wing Three Saints, along with Hei Tian, Wu Shu, Bai Cong, and considering Ye Zhen, indeed possess the capability to bring down two Dao Entrance Realm beings…” Jie Tianhe said.
After this remark, Ou Tu stayed silent for quite a while before finally coming to his senses.
“It seems Heavenly Wing Island must be completely wiped out, otherwise, you and I, too, might face potential demise…” Ou Tu stated.
“Rest assured, Tower Chief Ou. After my wounds are healed, we will launch an assault on Heavenly Wing Island with full strength, and the Dragon Alliance will go all-out. Not only me, but even three elders from our Dragon Alliance can emerge to assist!” Jie Tianhe declared.
“Great, your Dragon Alliance will send several Dao Entrance Realm presences, and our Stars Tower will dispatch a few as well, we must achieve total victory in one battle!”
“Achieve total victory in one battle, until we meet again!” With a hand salute, the Two-Horned Flood Dragon beneath him let out a dragon’s cry, and Jie Tianhe departed swiftly.
After Jie Tianhe had left, the Sixth Elder of the Ou Family, Uncle Ou Chang, and Yan Wuluo of the Yan Family, who were previously keeping watch from afar, simultaneously surrounded him.
“Third Tower Chief, does it mean that in the next year and a half, we just let Ye Zhen be, allowing him to grow? That guy’s growth speed is indeed…”
Ou Tu motioned the two of them to stop with his hand, “On this point, I am more aware than you! Ye Zhen’s current cultivation is already at the Seventh Stage Late Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, and he also has an Establishment Pill in hand. Stepping into the Establishment Realm is just a step away!
That Ye Zhen, with the cultivation of the Seventh Stage Late Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, can already withstand kings in the Late Establishment Realm. If we let him step into the Establishment Realm, with his previous growth speed, what would happen a year and a half later?”
“So, Tower Chief’s meaning is to continue dealing with Ye Zhen?” Yan Wuluo asked with delight.
“Of course, we must continue to deal with him, and I have roughly devised a plan!” Ou Tu said.
Upon hearing this, Yan Wuluo immediately became eager and stepped forward, bowing his hands, “This Ye Zhen has killed so many of my Yan family. To deal with Ye Zhen, my Yan family disciples will obey the Tower Chief’s commands, as long as we can personally take the head of that villain Ye Zhen!”
“Wuluo, I understand your feelings! However, if Ye Zhen is to be killed, it absolutely cannot be by our Stars Tower’s hand!” Ou Tu stated.
“Why?” Yan Wuluo asked, utterly puzzled.
“The Sky Wing Three Saints, if the Sky Wing Three Saints go on a rampage for revenge due to Ye Zhen’s death, who can stop it, who can afford that kind of loss?”
After pausing for a moment, Ou Tu continued, “Ye Zhen must die, but he absolutely cannot die by our Stars Tower’s hand, do you understand?”
Baffled for a moment, Yan Wuluo nodded vigorously, with fierce determination in his eyes!
…
In quickly taking control over Yin Yang Island, Ye Zhen once again witnessed the decisiveness in killing displayed by the Great Saint of Jinghai.
They directly paraded the corpses of Yin Yi and Yang Ben around Yin Yang Island. Apart from a few who resisted, the martial artists of Yin Yang Island immediately surrendered.
Afterward, it was a bloody purge and control.
At least over three thousand martial artists were slaughtered, they were the progeny of Yin Yi and Yang Ben.
Soon after, the royal family of the Yin Yang Dynasty on Yin Yang Island was entirely exterminated. For a time, the island was filled with soaring blood qi, and even birds dared not approach.
Even though Ye Zhen had served as the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Expedition, leading countless killings, such a scene of pure slaughter still made his heart race, even though he understood it was necessary.
If it were Heavenly Wing Island being attacked, Yin Yi, Yang Ben, Jie Tianhe, or Ou Tu would do even more extreme things.
After the purge, there was no further need for experts like them. The royal army from the Heavenly Wing Empire had already entered Yin Yang Island and began to take over completely.
Then came the division of spoils.
Yin Yang Island, being one of the Nine Great Blessed Lands, was rich in resources, and naturally, the many experts wanted a share to strengthen unity.
Since Yin Yi was killed by the Great Saint of Jinghai, and Yang Ben was killed by Ye Zhen, the major shares went to Ye Zhen and the Great Saint of Jinghai, which means Heavenly Wing Island.
Undoubtedly, Ye Zhen and the Great Saint of Jinghai chose the two foundational blessed lands on Yin Yang Island, the Fire Cave and the Cold Pool.
These locations not only made the cultivation of Fire Element Techniques and Ice Element Cultivation Technique much more effective, but they also had the incredible ability to condense high-grade attribute spiritual crystals, occasionally even supreme attribute spiritual crystals.
A year’s harvest was an incredible income, most importantly, such income couldn’t be bought with spirit crystals under normal circumstances.
Ultimately, the spoils on Yin Yang Island included various mines, medicine fields, martial slaves forcibly implanted with Soul Explosion Talismans, and other gains. Heavenly Wing Island monopolized seventy percent, Hei Tian got twenty percent, and Wu Shu and Bai Cong shared ten percent.
All considered, Heavenly Wing Island took seventy percent, which was somewhat at a disadvantage, given there were four people on Heavenly Wing Island.
However, considering the Fire Cave and Cold Pool, they certainly didn’t lose out.
After making various mutual defense agreements, emergency communication methods, and pledges of mutual support with Hei Tian, Wu Shu, and Bai Cong, the three were sent off.
Afterward, the four Sky Wing Four Saints brothers had another round of division of spoils. This was a rule set by the Great Saint of Jinghai—brothers settle accounts clearly!
According to the Sky Wing Three Saints’ intention, Ye Zhen should take the largest share, but Ye Zhen resolutely refused.
Ye Zhen clearly understood that without the Sky Wing Three Saints, not only achieving such great results, even his survival would be questionable.
Finally, evenly dividing all the gains and future revenues into four parts concluded matters.
Once the division was complete, Ye Zhen eagerly looked at the Great Saint of Jinghai, making his intentions obvious.
Seeing this, the Great Saint of Jinghai laughed, “Hahaha, it seems our fourth brother is truly anxious for this! Then let your elder brother thoroughly explain it to you, although this matter will take some time.
Before explaining, I have a question that I must ask the fourth brother to answer first!”
“Elder brother, please speak!”
