Chapter 187: Chapter 113: Hostile Visitors, Outrageous Demands for Land

“Have you heard? There’s really an Immortal Island overseas, and people have come from there.”

“We’ve known for a while. Apparently, they’re very aggressive, directly injuring the Little Celestial Master and others.”

“Yes, it seems only the Ice Fairy was released, and then she sent out information. The higher-ups are in urgent discussions.”

“There are also official reports saying these people want to seize certain territories on land for cultivation and evolution.”

“But they shouldn’t hurt people, should they? It’s too arrogant. Who are these people, really? Are they really Immortals?”

“Immortals? They’re just like us, Awakened, only a bit stronger.”

“Stronger? Are they stronger than King Lu?”

Official sources never intended to hide the information.

Additionally, the matter of the Three Immortal Islands beyond the Bohai Sea has always been a hot topic, attracting countless attention.

Therefore.

Once the Ice Fairy left there and connected with Elder Ji and others, the news spread.

Awakened individuals had already speculated that there were people on the Three Immortal Islands, and indeed, there were.

But they didn’t seem easy to deal with.

They made a move.

And wanted a piece of land directly, which naturally displeased many people.

For a time, many wanted to head to the Bohai Sea Coast to take a look, and some reckless ones planned to join forces with some Awakened to launch a raid—if nothing else, to rescue the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and others first, right?

However, the officials had anticipated this and deployed troops to temporarily seal off the area, not allowing free entry and exit.

At the same time, they issued a public announcement, stating that higher-ups had already rushed to the Bohai Sea Coast.

To prepare to communicate with people from the Three Great Immortal Islands overseas.

They urged the public to remain calm.

No choice.

Up until now, officials had yet to figure out the foundations of the Three Immortal Islands.

It was only through the Ice Fairy that they learned that the leading individuals were in the Shackles Realm, and there were supposed sects implying the existence of Golden Body Realm beings.

With this revelation, they had to take it seriously. Even if they were to become adversaries, they needed to know their enemy first, right?

The public, after seeing the announcement, calmed down slightly, understanding that they shouldn’t create trouble.

But still, regarding the matter of the Three Immortal Islands.

The number of people following it increased.

On the other hand.

Elder Yun found some time and went straight to the Bohai Sea Coast.

Fortunately, he had always been at the Taishan Trial Institute.

So he wasn’t far from Bohai.

Just a few days later, he arrived, learning about these people along the way.

Having read the ancient texts, he judged that the Three Immortal Islands might have existed since the pre-Qin era.

Of course, this didn’t mean those people had lived for thousands of years, but they were descendants. Additionally, it was predicted that the three Immortal Islands were different from the mainland, maintaining conditions for cultivation and evolution. Thus, the people there might indeed be strong, having progressed further than those outside.

As for why it happened, it’s unclear how there could be two distinct environments in the same world.

But now, none of that matters. What’s crucial is that the people from the Three Immortal Islands didn’t come with good intentions.

Ultimately, upon reaching the Bohai Sea Coast, the elders and others.

Were pleased to meet the disciples from the Three Great Immortal Islands.

According to them, they represented their sects. The so-called sects were akin to ancient sect legacies—Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou—through conversation, we discovered they still maintained ancient habits.

They had little to no exposure to modern technology.

The three who acted earlier were considered elite disciples.

That day, on the Bohai Sea Coast.

The official high-ranking members, led by Elder Yun, appeared.

Before them stood Zhao Yuan and other disciples of the Three Immortal Islands.

“Speak, what do you want to do?”

Elder Yun spoke, though his temper was volatile, he slightly restrained himself at this moment.

After all, the lives of the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and others were still in their hands.

“We are following our sect’s orders to come to the mainland, merely seeking places suitable for setting up cultivation sites. Each of the three major sects requires one location,” Zhao Yuan said, smiling at Elder Yun. “Surely, this shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”

“Not difficult, indeed negotiable.” The latter nodded, maintaining a calm expression.

“Additionally, these sites must have a population under them.”

Zhao Yuan continued, “After all, there are some things we can’t handle personally, not too many, one hundred thousand people will suffice.”

Upon hearing this, the faces of some high-ranking officials immediately fell, eyes flashing with anger.

The Ice Fairy, standing nearby, also wanted to step forward and speak.

According to the other party’s statement.

Three sites meant three hundred thousand people.

It was simply asking for an outrageous amount.

What they needed so many people for was unclear, but it easily conjured thoughts of ancient forced labor.

However, Elder Yun stopped everyone’s anger, squinting at the other side, and asked again, “Is that all?”

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan nodded, “Of course, and from now on, if any natural creations appear within the notable mountains and rivers on the mainland, our disciples from the Three Immortal Islands must be allowed to freely investigate. Of course, you may assist from the sidelines, and if you contribute, you can share in the rewards.”

Arrogant.

So arrogant!

The high-level officials who came along couldn’t hold back, each showing cold expressions.

Yet Elder Yun remained calm and finally asked, “And the people you’ve captured? When will you release them?”

“Release? We’ll discuss that once you’ve made a decision.”

Zhao Yuan obviously felt everyone’s anger but was completely unconcerned, “Take your time to consider carefully, but remember, we are merely the advance party, and the teachers will arrive soon. By then, you must make a decision.”

Immediately, he took a male and a female companion and returned to the sea ship.

What he said earlier seemed more of a notification.

“Elder Yun, what should we do?”

The Ice Fairy asked, her face extremely grim. She never expected them to be so outrageous, utterly dismissive of others.

In fact, with the power of modern technology, they had no fear of the other side, yet they couldn’t ignore the lives of the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and others, finding themselves in a delicate situation.

“First, inform Elder Ji and the others about the situation here.”

Old Yun thought for a moment before speaking.

Don’t even mention the fortunes of the famous mountains and rivers on the mainland, the matter of three hundred thousand people is absolutely unacceptable.

Why did they work so hard to accumulate their foundation before? Wasn’t it to protect more people’s lives? How could they give it away with just one sentence? If it really comes to tearing faces, it would be better to just fight directly.

“Junior Sister Zhang Yun, do you think these mainland people will agree to our terms?”

On the bow of the sea ship, Zhao Yuan looked at the woman in green beside him and said.

“They have no choice.”

Zhang Yun sneered: “How long has it been since the revival of heaven and earth? Even if the conditions on the mainland are better than those on the islands, at most only the Shackles Realm can appear.”

“And among our three islands, which sect doesn’t have one or two Golden Body Realm experts? This single point alone is something they cannot compare to. As for those weapons, they won’t make a difference. Once the senior members of our sect arrive, everything will be settled.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan immediately nodded and continued, “We also need to spread the news.”

“The Power of Heaven and Earth within the island is about to be exhausted, we must finalize this matter as soon as possible.”

Indeed, the reason they came back from the three islands to the mainland.

First is because heaven and earth are completely unsealed.

The way back is no longer restricted.

And also because.

After all, an island is just an island, after thousands of years, the resources within it that could be used for evolution are basically exhausted.

But coincidentally, the outside world is changing, the path of evolution is opening, and it’s about to become the same as in Ancient Times.

Thus.

They can leave the island and come to the mainland.

Here they are no longer restricted, and heaven and earth are gradually reviving, with various fortunes emerging. Why still huddle within the three islands?

Moreover, knowing that everything has just begun, and powerful existences haven’t yet appeared on the mainland, naturally, they should find a way to propose some conditions.

Seize more resources, concentrate them on themselves, and promote evolution.

After all, the people of the Three Immortal Islands are well aware.

Creatures from the Outer Realm will also descend.

And they can take advantage of this time difference to quickly become stronger. Returning afterwards wouldn’t be impossible then.

So at this moment, Zhao Yuan and Zhang Yun both think the plan is pretty good, feasible.

Thinking of this.

The two couldn’t help but exchange a smile.

It seems everything is within their control.

And soon.

After Old Yun and others returned, they reported it upward.

The reaction from the high officials was unanimous.

They would never agree under any circumstances.

Some of the more radical even directly suggested targeting the Three Great Immortal Islands with missiles, to let them know that modern technology is not weak.

However, they ultimately found that the three islands were shrouded by some force, which made targeting impossible.

Thermal weapons cannot be used for the time being, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.

The strongest means available right now failed.

How to deal with the people from the Three Immortal Islands?

Those conditions are absolutely out of the question.

But the problem is, the three leading individuals are at the Shackles Realm, and the so-called senior mentors will only be stronger.

They could deploy various weapons and missiles around to prevent the opponent from landing, but can this last long? Obviously not, especially the Golden Body Realm; such a being has yet to appear among humans.

In comparison to the Exotic Beast, the power and destructiveness would be incredibly formidable, and if necessary, unstoppable.

After all, it’s a single person; thermal weapons are powerful, but the opponent would not stand still.

Inadvertently, led by Elder Ji, the high officials found themselves in a dilemma.

The Three Immortal Islands, logically, are the same as them, human, of the same lineage from China, so why so overbearing?

Do they really think they are Immortals?

The people don’t know.

But the current problem must be solved; who knows when the mentors of those people will arrive?

And news about this negotiation.

Naturally spread to the internet too.

Immediately.

The public and the Awakened who had been watching boiled over.

“What kind of joke is this? Three practice halls, and they want three hundred thousand people?”

“They are too domineering, absolutely cannot agree, I suggest deploying missiles, deploying the strongest thermal weapons!”

“I have heard that modern technology cannot entirely target those three islands, and the authorities are at a loss for now.”

“So what? The conditions they proposed are simply tramping on our faces; can we endure it?”

“Exactly, though our strength is lacking, we will not suffer such humiliation.”

“Right, at worst, we fill in with our lives.”

Almost everyone who got news about it was furious.

What kind of beings are in the Three Immortal Islands, they didn’t care.

But the conditions proposed were too much; asking for land was one thing, but even people were not spared, and they also wanted to stake a claim in the various famous mountains and rivers’ fortunes. Anyone would reject such a thing.

However, people also know that within the Three Immortal Islands, there are even more formidable beings.

Maybe they have reached the Golden Body Realm; once they come over when the time comes.

A great battle will inevitably ensue.

And now.

No one within the country has such power, how to fight?

Even reliance on thermal weapons fails to deter, because the opponent can come and go as they please, as long as they return to the Immortal Island.

For a moment, not only the authorities.

Even the domestic public, have a sense of powerlessness.

And at this moment, almost everyone thought of the same name: Lu Yuan.

They believe.

Now, only King Lu can resolve everything, only King Lu.
