147: Visiting old friends

The influence of Xuantian Hall.

“Big Brother, now that Xuantian Hall has clashed with Ji Mo, he has already destroyed nine of our islands and killed tens of thousands of people. Inside Xuantian Hall, everyone is panicking.”

“That’s right, Big Brother. I heard many people have already fled, claiming they were going out on missions or external training. They can’t be contacted now; their sound transmission talismans are all gone.”

“Brothers, let’s take a mission and distance ourselves from the islands. It would be a huge waste to just flee after achieving our current status within this power.”

“In that case, we should also use the excuse of going on a mission to leave and hide for a while, observing the situation. We can decide our future path once a winner is determined between the two sides.”

“Big Brother is still the smartest. Let’s go take a mission now.”

Similar events were happening on every island, resulting in the Mission Hall being completely overwhelmed. Everyone wanted to go out—as long as they weren’t staying on the island.

If they couldn't get a mission, they simply ran away with their families. Some islands' enormous City Lord's Mansions were left with barely a hundred people, a desolate sight.

This was the situation within the two top powers. Over at the Brotherhood Alliance, their Alliance Lord was terrified and had been hiding inside Xuantian Hall.

He completely dared not return to manage the overall situation, relying only on messages. However, his subordinates had all run off, and he couldn't contact them at all.

He could only stand there with a dark expression, raging in frustration. The Brotherhood Alliance had essentially scattered by half, with only a few remaining who were unwilling to give up their power.

These developments further shocked the world regarding Ji Mo's prestige; one person was forcing three major powers to the brink of collapse.

“Hall Master, the people below are all scared now. The Island Masters are all demanding to return to the Main Island. What should we do? How should we reply to them?”

“Let them all return now. If we refuse them, they will run away immediately.”

The Old Hall Master of Xuantian Hall reluctantly agreed. He now wished he could slap himself—how could he have been so utterly deluded back then!

To agree to act for the small benefit offered by the Three Saints Sect—and they were useless too! They gave the address, yet Ji Mo still escaped, bringing such a huge disaster upon himself.

Regret!

Boundless Sea Region, Fourth Domain, Heavenly Punishment Army Headquarters.

After His Majesty Emperor Yang took control, this large archipelago was directly renamed Emperor Yang Island, in order to display his prestige and the island's status.

The center of the island was personally modified by His Majesty Emperor Yang, resulting in abundant Spiritual Qi and beautiful scenery.

Below a Spiritual Mountain, there was a small courtyard. It wasn't luxurious, but it made people feel closer to nature.

Inside the small courtyard, a simple figure sat before a stone table, sipping Spiritual Tea, admiring the swimming fish in the pond, a smile of complete control hanging on his lips.

At that moment, a Saint-rank expert suddenly rushed in from outside the small courtyard and bowed respectfully to the figure from afar.

“His Majesty Emperor Yang, the Heavenly Punishment Army reports that recently a young man named Ji Mo appeared in the Endless Sea Region and has clashed with the Three Saints Sect and Xuantian Hall.”

“This young man is also vicious. He destroyed half of Rising Sun Island and slaughtered tens of thousands of Xuantian Hall Disciples. Now, these two powers have come forward, requesting the Heavenly Punishment Army to issue a warrant for his arrest.”

“Oh, is that the young man who annihilated the Sea Dragon Clan?”

“Replying to His Majesty Emperor Yang, it is this young man named Ji Mo. Should our Heavenly Punishment Army take action?”

Upon hearing this, His Majesty Emperor Yang grew somewhat interested. The Endless Sea Region had been too peaceful for too long; it was rare for a young man like this to appear and stir up trouble.

“There is no need to bother with them. They should deal with the trouble they caused themselves. For a young man who hasn't even reached Saint-rank to require the Heavenly Punishment Army to act is truly shameful.”

“The Ruins are the most important matter right now. Order the Heavenly Punishment Army to disperse and constantly monitor for spatial fluctuations. My Main Body senses that the Secret Realm is getting closer and closer to the sea region.”

“The space will definitely shake when the Secret Realm truly descends. Our primary focus now must be on the Secret Realm; put all other matters aside.”

“Go convey the order.” His Majesty Emperor Yang turned away, no longer paying him attention.

“Yes, His Majesty Emperor Yang.”

The Saint-rank expert understood His Majesty Emperor Yang's attitude, bowed his head respectfully, and slowly retreated... Meanwhile, Ji Mo was inquiring about news of Sea Beasts on an island, but the people here ultimately had too little knowledge.

“It seems I can only go to those large islands and seek out major powers to gather information.”

Ji Mo felt helpless. He refused to believe that in such a vast sea region, there wasn't a Cultivation Holy Land for him.

He suddenly thought of an old friend, and decided to seek them out for answers.

He acted immediately upon thinking of it. Su Yuexin had told him the location of the island where the White Alliance was situated, and Ji Mo had marked it.

He took out his map to check; it was quite far. He would have to buy a teleportation talisman or use a teleportation array.

Ji Mo was not short of money now, so naturally, he wouldn't squeeze into a teleportation array with others. He directly purchased teleportation talismans, which were highly efficient and fast.

What followed was tedious, constant teleportation. Ji Mo didn't count, but estimated he had teleported dozens of times before finally reaching his destination—Bai Island.

Ji Mo felt dizzy, extremely dizzy. It wasn't physical dizziness; it was psychological dizziness. How could he not feel dizzy after continuously drilling through space dozens of times?

He stabilized his footing and took a moment to recover. Next time, he definitely couldn't teleport so frantically; the feeling of motion sickness was unpleasant.

He remembered the last time he interacted with Su Yuexin, he seemed to have exchanged communication talismans with her.

communication talismans were also different. Some low-grade communication talismans could only communicate within a range of tens to hundreds of miles.

Moving up, there were those that worked across thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of miles. The difference lay in the Materials used for creation, the different methods, and naturally, the different levels of energy required.

However, Ji Mo searched for a long time but couldn't find it, unsure where he had tossed it. Left with no choice, he had to visit her personally.

Entering the city, he didn't need to ask for directions. As the main base of a major power, the headquarters was bound to be magnificent and conspicuous. Ji Mo headed straight for his destination.

This place served as both the City Lord's Mansion and the main base of the White Alliance. The entire compound was enveloped by a massive array, and two rows of guards stood before the entrance of the huge City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he approached, he was stopped by the guards at the entrance. Ji Mo unleashed a strong, oppressive Aura from his Physical Body and spoke to the guards:

“Please inform Su Yuexin for me. Just say an old friend from Great Wind Island has come to visit, and she will naturally come to see me.”

Feeling Ji Mo's Aura, which was at least that of a Half-Saint, the guards did not dare to be negligent and immediately went inside to relay the message.

At this time, Su Yuexin was still in closed-door Cultivation. It could be said that ever since returning from Great Wind Island, Su Yuexin had been Cultivating the Heaven-rank Cultivation Method gifted by Ji Mo in seclusion.

Due to her connection with Ji Mo, Su Yuexin had been promoted to Vice Alliance Lord of the White Alliance. Aside from necessary tasks, she spent all her time Cultivating in her Residence.

The guard arrived at Su Yuexin's Residence to report, but was stopped by the maidservant at the door. The guard briefly explained the situation.

The maidservant wasn't foolish. Since it was an old friend from Great Wind Island, she roughly guessed who it was. Back then, her mistress had only interacted with Ji Mo.
