"This... this..."

Zhu Qingyu was momentarily taken aback by the question.

She thought she had answered well without revealing anything.

But why did the other party suddenly ask such a question?

However, she still held onto a glimmer of hope and continued, "Nothing happened, King Lu, you're overthinking it."

Her current task was to keep the situation in Bohai and overseas hidden, not for long, just a few days.

Because action would be taken soon, and by then, King Lu would know, and things should resolve smoothly.

At least, the other party wouldn't need to worry further.

"Although it's already a new era."

"But as long as I turn on the communication device, I basically know everything. You can't hide it."

Lu Yuan spoke, his voice still very calm, and said once more, "Go ahead and tell me."

Saying this, he directly took out the communication device, ready to turn it on.

The more the other party acted like this, the more he felt there was a problem.

Of course.

If nothing was said.

There were still many channels for him to obtain information.

Even if he couldn't understand the entire truth, he could still guess.

Zhu Qingyu was stunned, realizing she couldn't hide it any longer, and had no choice but to give up, explaining all the recent causes and effects clearly.

This included the conditions proposed by the Three Immortal Islands overseas, holding the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master as a hostage, and the official preparations for action.

"Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou?" Hearing this, Lu Yuan didn't immediately respond, his mind racing.

It's been over two years since the first mutation.

Counting the time.

It's indeed about right.

In the previous life, when the Three Immortal Islands appeared and reached the mainland, they were arrogant, and eventually clashed directly with forces like the academy, causing tremendous casualties.

Although there were hot weapons on land, the opponents also had extremely powerful presences, causing the war to last several months.

In the end, the academy had to choose to concede, carving out the so-called dojo for the Immortal Island to control.

Especially afterward, when those on the Immortal Island entered the land.

Almost every one of them was arrogant and insolent.

The crux of it all.

Lied in their belief that they were one step ahead on the path of evolution, wanting to seize various resources on land.

At that time, he also felt indignant, but being too weak, he could do nothing.

Originally, Lu Yuan intended to leave temporarily.

He had foreseen this point early on.

Wanting to solve it as soon as possible.

After all, he now had the capability.

He hadn't expected, due to missing out while in retreat.

The officials.

Did not want to trouble him further, thus not choosing to inform him.

But... no matter what, Lu Yuan knew he had to make a trip to Bohai and the Three Immortal Islands.

"You don't have to worry about the upcoming matters, just stay on Mount Tai."

He spoke, not saying much, directly stepping outside.

Zhu Qingyu naturally couldn't stop him.

Seeing this, she knew she had to report it and quickly headed in another direction.

However.

Just as Lu Yuan stepped out the door not long after.

A figure appeared before him, with a faint smile and two dimples on her face, it was Jiang Ningxian.

She took the initiative to walk over, without wasting words, merely opening her mouth to ask, "King Lu, you're going to resolve the matter of the Three Immortal Islands beyond Bohai?"

"Why, does Miss Jiang have a suggestion?"

Lu Yuan stopped, not in a hurry for this moment.

"Of course."

Jiang Ningxian spoke, "Forgive my straightforwardness, with King Lu's strength, dealing with those people is certainly easy, but sometimes, when taking action, it should be thorough, going straight to the lair to eliminate all future threats."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and couldn't help but say, "Miss Jiang, are you familiar with the people of the Three Immortal Islands?"

"Not much, just heard a little from the family."

She spoke, thought for a moment, and then chose to explain.

So it turns out.

The Three Immortal Islands belong to a folded space in this world.

In ancient times, frequent wars led some people to flee overseas to hide.

Meanwhile, they used special methods to isolate the island completely from the outside world, yet every once in a while, they would choose to venture to the mainland because an island, after all, is an island with limited resources. To evolve and cultivate, this point is essential.

It's just that whenever there's a great war, the people on the islands would shrink back, not contacting the outside world.

After the absolute isolation.

The three Immortal Islands were completely isolated.

Outsiders couldn't enter, and insiders found it challenging to come out.

Yet because of this, the islands retained the conditions for evolution from the Ancient Era, but over time, resources disappeared, and the Power of Heaven and Earth would deplete.

At the time of the mutations of heaven and earth, beginning to revive, Jiang's ancestors determined that these people would inevitably emerge.

Of course, in Jiang's view, the people on the islands were a joke, not worth minding at all.

It was merely to warn the younger generations, whenever met with great battles, simply choose to shrink back.

"In summary."

"The resources on the three islands are completely depleted, and when they come out, they will seize more resources again."

Jiang Ningxian sneered, continuing, "Then when the catastrophe is over, they'll shrink back into the islands again."

She held contempt for those people in her heart; everyone was fighting, yet some chose to hide, which in itself was nothing, but frequent forays onto the mainland to seize resources was disgusting.

"I see."

When Lu Yuan heard this, he nodded.

He did know about the Three Immortal Islands, but he was unaware of the origin of these people.

Now, through such explanation, he completely understood; in other words, those on the islands were descendants of cowards, no wonder they had such vile dispositions.

As for the truth of it, he didn't doubt; knowing that the other party had no reason to lie about this.

However, he didn't continue to say much, instead asking, "What did Miss Jiang mean by heading straight for the lair?"

"King Lu can indeed crush everyone, but what if they don't come out?"

"With folded space, and various means of isolation, it's naturally very difficult to get in."

Jiang Ningxian smiled and flipped her hand to take out a jade slip: "This was crafted by my clan elders, it can temporarily open a passage, allowing King Lu direct access to the three islands."

When she heard her elders telling these stories, she thought about stepping in to teach someone a lesson.

But her current self is not quite suitable to make a move for now.

Especially knowing Lu Yuan,

He certainly wouldn't stand by and watch, so she might as well help.

"In that case, thank you."

Lu Yuan was not a pretentious person, whether it was true or not, at least the other side meant well, so he chose to accept it.

"No need, no need, as long as King Lu doesn't forget my kindness in the future." Jiang Ningxian smiled, showing her pearly teeth, then turned around and hopped back to her residence.

Ever since she learned about the emergence of the Three Immortal Islands, she had this idea, and now it's completed, so she's naturally happy.

Seeing this,

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, looking towards Bohai Sea.

Mount Tai and it belong to the same region, so the distance is not very far, and there's no need to call the Golden-winged Roc.

But it's also impossible to walk there on foot, so he first went to Jade Emperor Peak.

Upon learning, the Spiritual Monkey dispatched a speedster Beast King Golden Eagle.

Thus,

Lu Yuan rode the Golden Eagle toward the destination.

Meanwhile,

On the coast of Bohai Sea, by the ocean,

A series of intense gunfire rang out, pouring out fire tongues.

There were troops there, with chariots, tanks, and even armed helicopters.

Below,

The sea ships of the three islands were already riddled with holes.

"You people from the mainland, you are simply despicable and shameless, launching a surprise attack, aren't you afraid of our revenge?"

Zhao Yuan, Zhang Yun, and others leading the three were trapped within a net of firepower.

They belong to the Shackles Realm, bullets and grenades almost no longer pose any threat to them.

But the key was, the disciples they brought were all in the Awakening Realm, they couldn't completely ignore it, especially under such strong firepower, the casualties were heavy, and not long, more than twenty were shot dead.

Even Elder Ji and others made a move, entangling the three of them.

"Shameless, who exactly is shameless?"

Elder Yun spoke, his expression extremely solemn, the strength in his hand heavier than before.

Clearly, they were the ones provoking first, now they were still biting back.

"Elder Ji, Elder Yun, the people have been rescued."

At this time, the voices of Ice Fairy and others came from afar.

Behind were Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and Gusang, although they were still trapped by the Immortal Binding Lock, they had been delivered to a safe area.

Ice Fairy knew that it was herself who was too timid when facing the Three Immortal Islands before and failed to make a decisive move, so at the start of the plan, she chose to take the lead with people.

Now, with the help of hot weapons from outside, the rescue mission succeeded!

"Good!"

Elder Ji was invigorated to see that everyone was fine.

He exchanged a glance with Elder Yun and others and immediately retreated violently.

At the same time,

The commander in the rear also knew the real attack time had come, and immediately gave the order!

Bam bam bam~

Boom boom boom~

In an instant, even more powerful firepower was poured out.

The already riddled sea ship was no longer able to withstand modern hot weapons and directly collapsed.

Official is official after all, once they make up their mind, as long as the opponent isn't too strong, with their resources, where can ordinary forces resist? Just like Zhao Yuan and others, though in the Shackles Realm, they were still suppressed.

Especially with Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and others rescued, they no longer had any scruples.

In the sky, on land, and in the sea, various powerful weapons appeared.

Hot weapons showcased their intended might.

At least for now,

It hasn't been obsolete.

The disciples of the three islands dwindled until only the strongest three remained.

"Damn it, when our three sect masters arrive, every one of you will pay the price."

Zhang Yun shouted with rage, eyes full of anger, voice tinged with madness, feeling greatly humiliated.

She really didn't expect the mainland's weapons to be so strong.

Even gaining Extraordinary Power and embarking on the path of evolution couldn't completely resist.

Though in the Shackles Realm, capable of ignoring most, human strength eventually reaches its limit.

If the situation continues, it will certainly be very unfavorable.

By then,

It would be them captured alive as prisoners.

Moreover, now the sea ship is destroyed, evacuation is impossible.

Escape!

Zhang Yun and Zhao Yuan exchanged a glance, a retreating intent arose, they were Awakened, and wouldn't die even if they fled into the sea.

"Elder Yun."

But at this moment, a commander in the back spoke, looking shocked: "We detected many life signs on the distant horizon, initially estimated at least a thousand people."

What?

As soon as these words came out,

Elder Ji and Elder Yun's expressions changed slightly.

Then raised their heads, looking toward the distant ocean.

There,

Gigantic ships appeared, and they were moving fast.

With their strength, they could also sense the many formidable presences in them, most in the Shackles Realm.

No doubt, just as Zhang Yun had said, those were people from Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, their sect masters, currently speeding towards the shore, getting closer and closer.
