Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1844 - 1842: Targeting Me

Looking across the stellar space, the Demon Race is undoubtedly a major race, with their presence active in almost every corner of the galaxy. Although they don't number as many as the human race, they are far more numerous compared to other races.

However, generally speaking, the Demon Race cohabits with other races across various domains, except for one, Zixuan Demon Planet, which is a paradise belonging to the Demon Race. All living beings within this domain are of the Demon Race, with no other races present. Zixuan Demon Planet is also regarded in the hearts of the Demon Race as the Sacred Land, the only top-class domain occupied by the Demon Race.

Such a powerful force naturally has the right to occupy a top-class Spirit Island on the All Phenomena Ocean. The existence of Zixuan Island may have spanned tens of thousands of years and is undoubtedly one of the top powers when looking at the entire All Phenomena Ocean.

Although Three Worlds Island is currently very well-known and even has the achievement of capturing a high-class Spirit Island, compared to Zixuan Island, there is indeed a gap.

Now the situation is very clear, Wei Po was captured alive by Zixuan Island and is currently imprisoned there.

But Luan Xiao'e was somewhat puzzled, as they had no grievances or enmity, so why would Zixuan Island target Three Worlds Island?

"I heard a rumor before, didn't take it too seriously at the time, but now it seems, it might be true," Tang Jun expressed with a pensive look.

"What rumor?" Lu Ye asked.

Tang Jun said, "Yuan Du, that old fellow, has no other hobbies, except he's obsessed with beauty. It's said he has three hundred concubines in his harem, and among his most favored lovers, one is of the Demon Race!"

Old Tang has been running back and forth across the All Phenomena Ocean for years, with numerous friends. Naturally, during idle chats while drinking, many miscellaneous tales have reached his ears.

This particular story was mentioned by a drinking buddy during a casual chat, but old Tang just regarded it as a joke at the time since Yuan Du, though old, is ultimately a man, and such an obsession with beauty could be considered normal.

"It's said that this Demon Race woman's true form is a Six-tailed Fox Demon, fair as a flower and with bewitching charms, even able to captivate someone of Yuan Du's level, making him lose his Mental Consciousness entirely. The key is that the woman's voice is gentle as water, and her body as soft as boneless..."

"Enough!" Luan Xiao'e shouted coldly.

Lu Ye, who was listening intently, quickly returned to his senses, and even Tang Jun couldn't help but cough lightly, placing his fist at his mouth: "From this perspective, it's likely that Zixuan Island is acting on Yuan Du's instructions!"

"That seems about right," Luan Xiao'e said with a solemn expression.

"So what do we do now?" Tang Jun asked, as he excelled in social interactions and negotiations, but with Wei Po imprisoned on Zixuan Island, he had no clue how to rescue him.

Not knowing Wei Po's whereabouts would be one thing, but now that they knew, they definitely couldn't ignore it. The other party sending Wei Po's perfume sachet was clearly provocative.

The vastness of Zixuan Island indeed grants them such qualifications.

"They're coming for me!" Lu Ye suddenly spoke.

"How so?" Tang Jun was astonished.

Luan Xiao'e, however, realized: "Yes, it's aimed at you!"

Tang Jun glanced at Lu Ye and then at Luan Xiao'e, pondering for a moment before suddenly understanding. Though aged and wise, he initially failed to realize, but upon thinking it through, the understanding finally dawned on him.

Wei Po got into trouble a year ago and has been detained on Zixuan Island ever since. Luan Xiao'e could only deduce that he was still alive and somewhere on the All Phenomena Ocean through reactions from an audio talisman, because if Wei Po were dead or too far away, the audio talisman would certainly not respond.

Zixuan Island had been inactive for a year, yet after Lu Ye returned, they sent someone to find Tang Jun, specifically requesting him to deliver the storage ring to Lu Ye.

Isn't this aimed at him?

After returning, Lu Ye immediately visited the Merfolk Territory, and upon returning from there, he went to the Dwarf Race's talisman shop. It was probably during that time that a cultivator spying in the shadows discovered his trace, which led to subsequent events.

"I'll go then," Lu Ye stood up.

"No way!" Luan Xiao'e and Tang Jun immediately stopped him.

Luan Xiao'e said, "The other side harbors malice towards us. If you go rashly, it is surely not safe. Zixuan Island is not Baiyue."

"I certainly know that, but with Wei Po in their hands, we can't simply ignore it,"

"I'll go!" Luan Xiao'e gritted her teeth, solemnly looking at Lu Ye: "In terms of cultivation, although I am higher than you, Three Worlds Island is something you built up. The island can be without me, but it absolutely cannot do without you."

Lu Ye shook his head: "They're targeting me, sister. It would be useless for you to go. Do you believe that if you went, you would only inexplicably give them another hostage?"

Luan Xiao'e couldn't refute.

Tang Jun said, "This matter needs careful consideration!"

Lu Ye shook his head: "If I don't go, they'll certainly use Fellow Daoist Wei Po's life to create complications. By then, they'll spread it everywhere, ruining the reputation of Three Worlds Island. The island will then surely bear the disgrace of ignoring someone in distress, so I must go, whether I want to or not!"

"This won't do, that won't do, Zixuan Island's tactics are despicable indeed!" Tang Jun fumed.

"They struck first, naturally seizing the advantage," Lu Ye consoled, "Don't worry, I have a plan, and I will not seek death on my own accord."

"How confident are you?" Luan Xiao'e asked.

"Absolutely!" Lu Ye smiled confidently.

"Don't lie to me!" Luan Xiao'e looked at him seriously. "I also want to save Fellow Daoist Wey Po, but we can't risk your safety for it, even if there's the slightest danger!"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I value my life more than anyone else, and don't forget, I have the doppelganger technique!"

Luan Xiao'e was startled and showed an embarrassed expression: "I must have lost my head to forget that."

Tang Jun also relaxed: "You should have said so earlier."

Lu Ye thought for a moment and said: "Senior Sister, do me a favor and find a magic treasure that resembles my Boulder Mountain Saber."

Luan Xiao'e immediately nodded: "That's easy."

She swiftly left, while Tang Jun asked from the side, "What should I do?"

"Tell me about the situation over at Zixuan Island."

Lu Ye hadn't paid much attention to Zixuan Island and was unaware of its overall background, whereas Old Tang undoubtedly knew more about these matters.

Old Tang immediately began to explain, and Lu Ye listened while releasing a drop of treasure blood, transforming it into a doppelganger, and then took off his clothes to dress the doppelganger.

In no time, Luan Xiao'e returned with a magic treasure long saber that, from the outside, looked no different from the Boulder Mountain Saber.

Seeing two Lu Yes here and unable to distinguish the real from the fake with her keen eyes, she was amazed despite having seen it before.

The doppelganger donned the long saber magic treasure, and everything was ready as it vaulted away.

He deliberately did not conceal his figure and swept across the sky above the Three Worlds Island commercial district, creating a grand scene that caught the attention of countless cultivators, as outsiders were generally not allowed to fly on the Three Worlds Island—doing so was seen as a challenge to the island, and those who broke this rule over the years were severely punished.

Thus, Lu Ye's action was undoubtedly conspicuous, but when they sensed Lu Ye's Moon Jade Late Stage mana fluctuations, the cultivators realized he was likely an Island Master from Three Worlds Island and no longer paid attention. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Only one cultivator standing by the street stared at Lu Ye's figure for a moment, then took out an audio talisman to send a message outside.

Soon after, this cultivator hurriedly fled the island, heading straight in one direction.

However, no sooner had he left Three Worlds Island than he sensed an approaching presence behind him. Instinctively, he turned to look, and was shocked.

It was a woman he wasn't unfamiliar with—the First Island Master of Three Worlds Island, Luan Xiao'e!

She was rushing towards him, clearly with unfriendly intentions.

He had been exposed! The cultivator was alarmed and immediately tried to send a message with the audio talisman. However, having been targeted by Luan Xiao'e, he no longer had a say in the matter, especially given the vast difference in their cultivation levels.

The Moon Jade Late Stage might suddenly descended, and the cultivator's body stiffened, almost falling into the All Phenomena Ocean. Luckily, Luan Xiao'e arrived in time, grabbing him and then pulling out a sack-like magic treasure to ensnare him.

Ensuring no cultivators were around and that the previous scene had gone unnoticed, Luan Xiao'e turned back towards Three Worlds Island, full of admiration for Lu Ye's judgment.

Just moments ago, Lu Ye had asked her and Tang Jun to look for abnormalities within Three Worlds Island.

To see if any cultivators sent messages outside after he left, as those would likely be spies placed by Zixuan Island.

This cultivator was indeed one, as Luan Xiao'e had sensed the unique aura of the Demon Race on him—a wild scent.

Allowing him to leave was merely a delaying tactic, as Luan Xiao'e needed to capture him in a deserted place. Otherwise, if they acted on Three Worlds Island, word would quickly spread.

It's unclear if there is only this one, but all the Moon Jade cultivators of Three Worlds Island have now mobilized, with the real Lu Ye overseeing the island. Any spies from Zixuan Island will undoubtedly be caught.

Meanwhile, on Zixuan Island, a burly man with a bare chest and tousled hair suddenly opened his dark yellow eyes, licked his lips, and revealed a bloodthirsty smile: "Here they come at last!"

Mental Consciousness surged, and the quiet Zixuan Island soon became bustling.

A few hours later, following the starmap, Lu Ye arrived at Zixuan Island from afar. The island was large, not as massive as Three Worlds Island, but definitely much bigger than Baiyue.

Being larger meant having many cultivators.

Moreover, as a top-class Spirit Island existing for tens of thousands of years, the light curtain of its protective array was brighter than most spirit islands Lu Ye had seen, indicating formidable protective power.

This was just under normal maintenance. Should it be fully activated, who knows how much stronger it would become?

If Baiyue Island had had such a protective array, the combined might of the Three Worlds cultivators wouldn't have been enough to breach it, and the subsequent events wouldn't have unfolded.

Such a protective array could deter any force from coveting it unless it was breached from within.
