Capítulo 1114: Chapter 1100: Etched Deep Within My Heart
The two Island Masters pointed out by the Great Saint of Jinghai exchanged glances. Almost at the same moment, they invoked their Innate Divine Souls and, in front of everyone, solemnly made a Divine Soul Oath, word by word.
“I, Wu Shu of Anning Island, hereby swear by my Innate Divine Soul, if I violate even the slightest agreement with the Great Saint of Jinghai, may my spirit and soul disperse, abandoned by both heaven and earth!”
“I, Yangg Min of Bai Cong Island, hereby swear by my Innate Divine Soul, if I violate even the slightest agreement with the Great Saint of Jinghai, may…”
As the two made their Divine Soul Oath in public, before Ou Tu and Jie Tianhe could react, Wu Shu and Yangg Min simultaneously shouted, “All those affiliated with Anning Island, heed my command: from today, our Anning Island forms an alliance of offense and defense with Heavenly Wing Island, to jointly resist external enemies!”
“All those affiliated with Bai Cong Island, heed my command: from today, our Bai Cong Island forms an alliance of offense and defense with Heavenly Wing Island, to jointly resist external enemies!”
The moment their shouts rang out, Wu Shu and Yangg Min simultaneously moved to stand beside the Great Saint of Jinghai. With these two defecting to Heavenly Wing Island’s side, there was commotion among the four thousand martial artists surrounding the island, particularly among those belonging to the two islands.
In an instant, three hundred from one island and two hundred from another, a total of five hundred martial artists from the Mid to Late Establishment Realm turned around and joined the ranks of Heavenly Wing Island.
The addition of these five hundred people once again altered the balance of power at the scene.
The number of martial artists surrounding the island suddenly dropped to two thousand five hundred. Meanwhile, on the side of Heavenly Wing Island, with a thousand from Black Fiend Island and these five hundred joining, along with Heavenly Wing Island’s forces, their momentum surged.
More critical was that initially, in terms of high-level combat power, Ou Tu and Jie Tianhe had eight individuals in the Dao Entrance Realm and Half-step Dao Realm.
On Heavenly Wing Island’s side, at most, there were only the Sky Wing Three Saints, and Ye Zhen could barely count as half, putting Jie Tianhe’s group at a significant advantage.
But now, with the defection of Hei Tian, Wu Shu, and Yangg Min, Heavenly Wing Island’s top combat strength increased to six individuals, while the top forces of the Dragon Alliance and Stars Tower dropped to five.
As a result, not only did the advantage of the Dragon Alliance and Stars Tower disappear, but they also found themselves in a subtle disadvantage.
Even though Ou Tu and Jie Tianhe had experienced countless storms, they were still shocked by such a dramatic reversal.
Both of their brows knitted into a deep frown as they pondered one crucial question—what kind of enormous benefit did the Great Saint of Jinghai promise these people to make them risk utterly offending Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance to stand with Heavenly Wing Island?
And to be able to make a Divine Soul Oath in public?
In fact, the rather astonished Ye Zhen was also puzzling over this question.
Moreover, according to the Great Saint of Jinghai, these defections were somehow related to him?
Yet, whether it was Ye Zhen or the bewildered Ou Tu and Jie Tianhe, none of them realized that the defection of these three forces was merely the appetizer for today.
As the martial artists from Anning Island and Bai Cong Island quickly joined the side of Heavenly Wing Island, an overwhelmingly fierce Evil Qi suddenly surged from the Great Saint of Jinghai. Pointing to those loose cultivators attracted by the bounty all around, a thunderous roar erupted.
“Are you all fucking stupid? Aren’t you going to get lost? Do you want me to send you back home myself?”
This explosive shout from the Great Saint of Jinghai instantly awakened the loose cultivators gathered for the bounty. However, what was truly menacing was the next sentence from the Great Saint of Jinghai.
“I can overlook your previous encirclement of Heavenly Wing Island; I can pretend it never happened.
But starting now, if you don’t get lost within the next ten breaths, I will remember you deeply in my heart. Once this matter is over, if I don’t destroy your foundations and annihilate your entire family, I am not the Great Saint of Jinghai who has reigned over the Outer Domain Dead Sea for three hundred years!”
After speaking, the sharp, eagle-like eyes of the Great Saint of Jinghai scanned all directions, sending shivers down the spines of numerous loose cultivators as he began counting down.
“Ten!”
As soon as the Great Saint of Jinghai counted the number, three Late Stage Establishment Realm loose cultivators simultaneously saluted Jie Tianhe and Ou Tu, “Dragon King Jie, Tower Chief Ou, forgive us for being powerless today, we must take our leave first!”
“Leave? You can’t leave, you must not be….”
Ou Tu tried to keep them, but before he could finish speaking, the three Late Stage Establishment Realm loose cultivators flickered with Spirit Light and left without looking back, soon disappearing into the vast sky.
The departure of these three was like toppling a row of dominoes; immediately, farewell voices rang out incessantly.
Moreover, these farewell voices came from some relatively reputable martial artists, even some island masters or the like, who would say a few courteous words before quickly leaving.
But the majority of people didn’t even speak; they just turned and left, fearing that a moment’s delay would draw the attention of the Great Saint of Jinghai, which would indeed be a disaster.
No one was a fool; given the current situation, even if Ou Tu and Jie Tianhe were strong, they were utterly impotent against Heavenly Wing Island.
The Stars Tower and Dragon Alliance are well-established and powerful, not fearing retaliation from Heavenly Wing Island, but these individuals couldn’t even withstand a finger from Heavenly Wing Island.
Unless they were insane, they would surely flee.
This scenario at once left Ou Tu, who prided himself on having plans without flaws, and the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, utterly dumbfounded.
Not even ten breaths, not even five, the group of experts they gathered at a high reward left clean and clear.
Instantly, the martial artists surrounding Heavenly Wing Island consisted only of a thousand members from Yin Yang Island, close to five hundred martial artists of varying cultivation levels hastily gathered by Stars Tower, and Jie Tianhe, the lone commander.
Jie Tianhe was extremely frustrated; originally, their Dragon Alliance should not have been unable to gather experts in a short time.
But the critical issue was that the Dragon Kings of the Nine Domains kept falling consecutively. What was more coincidental was that the Green Robe Dragon King, Yuh Changkong, who controlled this sea domain, fell in the Blessed Land of Return Watching, directly leading to a leaderless Sky Wind Sea Domain, a total chaos where orders could not be executed.
This directly resulted in the current lone commander situation.
Under such circumstances, the disadvantage was even more prominent.
The martial artists from the Mid to Late Establishment Realm on Heavenly Wing Island numbered over two thousand five hundred, with top experts reaching six individuals.
While on the side of the Dragon Alliance and Stars Tower, only fifteen hundred Mid to Late Establishment Realm martial artists remained, with top experts reduced to only Ou Tu, Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, and Yin Yi.
At that moment, the Great Saint of Jinghai cupped his hands towards the newly joined Island Lord of Black Fiend Island, Hei Tian, Island Master of Anning Island, Wu Shu, and Island Master of Bai Cong Island, Yangg Min, saying, “Gentlemen, would you be willing to charge forth with me, to clear obstacles for our great undertaking ahead?”
“How could we not comply!” Wu Shu and Yangg Min cupped their hands in unison.
Hei Tian, however, rolled his eyes impatiently, “If you’re going to kill, then kill, why so much nonsense!”
Instantly, the faces of Ou Tu, Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, and Yin Yi turned grim!
Almost simultaneously, the Great Saint of Jinghai burst into hearty laughter, took a step forward, and charged directly at Jie Tianhe, “Jie Tianhe, if you’re a man, come and fight three hundred rounds with me!” (To be continued.
