Chapter 535 Xuanyuan Island
Outside Crocodile Jiao Island, on the Sea Hunting Divine Ship, the three elders of the investigation team were gathered together at this time, and everyone looked uncertain.
Three days have passed since the three led more than 200 survivors from the four sects and the alliance back to the Sea Hunting Divine Ship, and there has been no news from Crocodile Jiao Island.
The Lord of the Sea Hunting City Ma Ming and the elder of the Xumi Sect, Master Shi Yan, are still unknown whether they are alive or dead. Everyone is now as anxious as ants on a hot pot, running around in circles, but there is nothing they can do.
A strong attack will definitely not work, and they have tried it some time ago. There is no way to contact the Reporting Team inside, unless they are willing to let you contact them. In addition to waiting, everyone really has no other way.
If they leave and report this matter to the sect masters and elders of each sect, they will probably be held accountable before these senior leaders make the decision to attack Crocodile Jiao Island.
The Lord of the Sea Hunting City and Master Shi Yan were trapped on Crocodile Jiao Island. Instead of trying to rescue them, they fled back to the Sea Hunting City. If this crime is confirmed, the problem will be serious and no one can afford it. Don't think that if you are a high-level cultivator, the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance will not hold you accountable.
In this Xumi Sea cultivation world, unless you become an independent overlord, everyone will be subject to a lot of restrictions even if their cultivation is not bad. Once a problem occurs, if you are held accountable, although your life will not be in danger, you will lose a lot of cultivation resources. If a cultivator loses cultivation resources, it is actually not much different from losing his life.
When you practice in a place without spiritual energy, you will not be able to break through the realm just because you have realized the Dao heart. That is just a fantasy. Without an environment suitable for cultivators to survive and practice, no matter how high their Dao heart is, their realm will not be able to rise. Cultivation not only relies on meditation and comprehension, but also requires the supply of resources.
If not, the fighting between the various sects would not be so fierce. Even Wu Yan, a new cultivator, saw the pros and cons of this and tried every means to participate in the Sea Hunting War and get the qualification of an island owner first, not to mention the native Xumi Sea cultivators.
Just when Xiao Hai, Gui Xiuluo and Xuanyuan Jiyu were getting impatient, they heard the disciple on duty outside suddenly run into the cabin and report to the three people with a happy face: "Reporting to the three elders, a dark cloud warship has sailed out of the Crocodile Jiao Island! The disciples can see clearly that on the warship are all the guardian sea hunters who entered the Crocodile Jiao Island with the elders. The two seniors, Lord Ma and Master Shiyan, are also on the warship."
The three were overjoyed when they heard it. They walked out of the cabin and stood on the bow of the deck of the Sea Hunting Divine Boat. Looking towards the direction of Crocodile Jiao Island, they saw a dark cloud warship, which was slowly sailing towards the Sea Hunting Divine Boat.
After a while, the dark cloud warship approached the Sea Hunting Divine Boat. Ma Ming and Master Shiyan both flew off the warship and landed on the Sea Hunting Divine Boat.
Xiao Hai and the other three hurried forward to greet them. The two looked helpless and could not see any joy or anger on their faces. Ma Ming waved his hand and signaled them to go into the cabin first.
The guardian sea hunters on the Sea Hunter Divine Ship saw that only one dark cloud warship had returned, and the other was missing. They looked at each other and discussed quietly.
After Ma Ming and the other five entered the cabin, they opened the partition of the cabin and discussed secretly inside.
The five people did not come out for a whole day. Although the disciples guarding outside could not hear the movement inside due to the forbidden formation, the occasional banging on the table shook the spiritual wooden floor of the cabin, and it was conceivable how fierce the debate was.
However, just when everyone was wondering what the five elders would do next, Ma Ming walked out of the cabin the next day and ordered the Sea Hunter Divine Ship and the remaining three dark cloud warships to turn around and return to the direction of Cuizhu Island.
Ma Ming did not explain the reason to anyone, and none of the guardian sea hunters dared to question him. Immediately, the Sea Hunting Divine Ship and the three Dark Cloud Warships flew thousands of feet into the sky, aimed at the direction of Cuizhu Island, and sped away.
…
At this time, in the control room of Crocodile Jiao Island, Wu Yan was also smiling and telling Xuan Yazi about the new agreement he had signed with Ma Ming and others a few days ago. After listening to the final result of Wu Yan's talk, Xuan Yazi's face completely relaxed. The matter that had been weighing on his mind for several months was finally solved in the most perfect way. Xuan Yazi laughed happily.
During these three days, Wu Yan, Ma Ming, and Shi Yan had fierce debates and negotiations on the Dark Cloud Warship on the ownership of Crocodile Jiao Island and the deployment of the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance.
However, the situation was obviously more favorable to Wu Yan, and the two had to make concessions on many issues in the end.
Wu Yan had the best of time, place, and people, and it can be said that he took advantage of the negotiations on these issues. Not only did he seize the control of Crocodile Island from the Sea Hunting Alliance and the four major sects before the end of the Sea Hunting War, but he also forced the two to give up a dark cloud warship to him.
After all, Wu Yan and the Sea Hunting Alliance had signed an agreement on the Crocodile Island, and this agreement was signed by some high-level members of the four major sects, which also meant that the four major sects also recognized the agreement.
Although, when the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance signed the agreement with Wu Yan, they did not consider what role Wu Yan could play in the issue of seizing Crocodile Island. It was just a blank ticket they promised Wu Yan. But now, this agreement has become the most favorable evidence of Wu Yan's control of Crocodile Island.
When the two agreed to Wu Yan and assigned the Crocodile Jiao Island to Wu Yan for private use, they never thought that Wu Yan's appetite would be even greater, and he also asked for two dark cloud warships.
As soon as Wu Yan made this request, he was sternly rejected by Ma Ming and Master Shi Yan. However, after Wu Yan threw out his trump card, even Master Shi Yan, the elder of the Xumi Sect who Wu Yan disliked very much, had to agree. However, although the two agreed to this matter, they only agreed to give Wu Yan one dark cloud warship.
After all, the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance only have 20 dark cloud warships. The cost of each ship is close to hundreds of millions of spirit stones. Last time, Feng Tianshu's commander was unfavorable, resulting in the destruction of as many as ten dark cloud warships. This incident has already angered the top leaders of the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance. Now they must be studying how to punish him.
Wu Yan's trump card is naturally the sea tribe army and the remaining monsters trapped on the Crocodile Island.
This is also the most troublesome thing for Ma Ming and Master Shi Yan. When they came here, the top leaders of the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance had actually heard about this sea tribe. They came here and actually received a death order issued by the top leaders of the four sects. This order stipulates that they must try to trap this sea tribe army on the Crocodile Island for at least ten years. If they can annihilate it, it will be even better.
The situation in the Demon Sea has now deteriorated to an extremely serious level.
According to the news from the spies scattered in the Demon Sea by the human cultivators, the three major sea tribes are now mobilizing troops and gathering the twelve armies of the three major sea tribes and the twelve armies of the original twelve branches of the water tribe. A total of twenty-four armies are gathering in the direction of Cuizhu Island on the sea boundary, preparing to take advantage of this sea beast outbreak to launch the largest-scale attack on the Xumi Sea.
This sea tribe army is one of the four sea demon tribe war groups. No one expected that this war group would be trapped on the Crocodile Island.
If this sea demon tribe war group can be trapped on this island, it will definitely reduce a lot of pressure on the sea boundary. After Wu Yan slightly revealed in his words that it was difficult to resist the attack of this sea demon tribe and was ready to find an opportunity to let them go, Master Shi Yan did not say a word of opposition to his request for the dark cloud warship, but just bit his tongue and gave him only one.
After Wu Yan learned from the two people that the war between the human race and the sea race was imminent, he naturally could not force the two to keep two dark cloud warships. It was enough to get one.
However, after getting so many conveniences and benefits, Wu Yan had to accept the conditions proposed by Ma Ming, who represented the Hunting Sea Alliance, and Master Shi Yan, who represented the four major sects, to trap this sea tribe army on this island for ten years.
In their opinion, although Wu Yan had completely controlled the Crocodile Island by using the Wuji Locking Formation, the sea tribe was different from the human race. They lived in the sea all year round and were familiar with everything on the sea. Sooner or later, they would find a way to leave the island. They would not believe that Wu Yan had the strength to destroy this sea tribe, so it was enough to use Wu Yan to contain this sea tribe on the island for ten years.
The two believed that the war between the human race and the sea tribe would never last for ten years.
After the three of them discussed for three days, a fresh agreement on the ownership of Crocodile Island came out. This agreement stipulated that Crocodile Island officially became Wu Yan's private island from the date of signing this agreement. In the future, whether it was Wu Yan, or his descendants or disciples, they had the right to own this island. Unless Wu Yan died and there were no descendants or disciples left, the Sea Hunting Alliance and the four major sects could take back the control of the island. The agreement also stipulates that after Wu Yan gains control of Crocodile Jiao Island, he must bear the corresponding obligations of cooperating with the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance to defend against sea tribes and sea beasts, and within ten years, he must build a supply station on the island for human monks who travel to the Demon Sea to participate in the Sea Hunting War.
Of course, the management rights of this supply station belong to Wu Yan. Wu Yan can purchase the corresponding supply and demand materials from the Sea Hunting Alliance, and then sell them to the war teams or monk teams that need supplies at this supply station.
To put it bluntly, Wu Yan must build a market on Crocodile Jiao Island that can replenish materials for the monks participating in the Sea Hunting War at any time according to the requirements of the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance.
The management rights of the market belong to Wu Yan, but it must be unconditionally open to all human monks participating in the Sea Hunting War.
Wu Yan naturally understands the real intention of the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance to let him build this market. In fact, they still haven't given up Crocodile Jiao Island, but just want to change a way.
I believe that after this market is established, Wu Yan will never be able to operate all the shops in the market, and he will have to rent out some of the shops. In this way, the family forces of the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance can take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate Crocodile Jiao Island and slowly develop their plans.
However, Wu Yan was not worried about this at all.
In this way, Wu Yan signed this agreement on behalf of himself, Ma Ming on behalf of the Hunting Sea Alliance, and Master Shi Yan on behalf of the four major sects. Wu Yan also officially renamed Crocodile Jiao Island to Xuanyuan Island on this agreement and became the first island owner of Xuanyuan Island.
