387 Times Are Changing
“There’s no big problem. I was just injured when I tried to break the formation. In addition, I was attacked by Xu Fengyu, so the energy in my body is a little chaotic.”
The Island Master of Floating Jade Island reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He squeezed out a smile on his pale face and waved his hand.
Gu Mingzhou did not know the details, but he could understand a thing or two from the conversation between the Floating Jade Island Master and Xu Fengyu.
He knew that Xu Fengyu had used some unknown method to instigate the left protector to betray him and set up a sealing formation at the Island Master of Floating Jade Island’s seclusion place while he was in seclusion.
As for the Floating Jade Island Master, there was an 80-90% chance that he had directly charged out of the array.
He must have sustained quite a lot of injuries.
Coupled with the series of powerful exchanges with Xu Fengyu earlier, it was normal for the energy and blood in his body to be in a mess.
Gu Mingzhou looked at the dispirited Master of Floating Jade Island and shook his head.
He knew that the current situation of the Floating Jade Island Master was definitely not as he had said, that his breathing was only in disorder.
However, since the other party was not willing to tell him, Gu Mingzhou naturally would not ask.
Everyone had their own secrets.
“It’s all thanks to fellow Daoist for breaking the Floating Jade Array earlier. Otherwise, it would have been too late even if I had broken out.” The Master of Floating Jade Island waited for the blood on his face to recover a little before he spoke to Gu Mingzhou again.
“It’s no trouble at all!” Gu Mingzhou quickly waved his hands.
“Fellow Daoist, you have saved the tens of thousands of living beings on the Floating Jade Island. How may I address you?” The Floating Jade Island Master laughed carefreely.
“Gu Mingzhou greets the Floating Jade Island Master!” Gu Mingzhou quickly cupped his hands.
Even though both of their cultivations were in the earth realm, there was only a slight difference.
However, the Master of the Floating Jade Island had been famous for a long time. As the Master of the Floating Jade Island in the freezing cold land, Gu Mingzhou had to show some respect.
“What Island Master? Since you’ve also broken through the shackles of the Dao Foundation and entered the earth realm, you’re naturally on the same level as me, don’t be so formal.” The Island Master of Floating Jade Island did not seem to care about trifles. He used his right hand to pull Gu Mingzhou up from his bowing position.
“My name is Liu Youqiang. I’m older than you by a few years, so I’ll shamelessly call you Brother Gu.” You can call me big Brother Liu or Brother Liu. The Master of Floating Jade Island continued.
“Liu Youqiang?” Gu Mingzhou had a strange expression on his face. He was very familiar with this name.
He had heard Li Huang and Xu Fengyu address the Island Master of Floating Jade Island as Liu Youqiang. At that time, he had thought that it was just a homonym, but now that he had heard it from the Island Master of Floating Jade Island, he was rather shocked.
“I didn’t expect the Master of Floating Jade Island to have the same name as Liu Youqiang, the one with the broken Dragon Soul. Interesting!” Gu Mingzhou thought to himself and smiled.
He did not know that Liu Youqiang, the five-clawed Golden Dragon, was actually Shangguan Yun, Shangguan Fei’s younger brother and an acquaintance of his.
Gu Mingzhou suspected the relationship between the five-clawed Golden Dragon, Liu Youqiang, and Shangguan Fei, so he thought that Liu Youqiang was his real name.
Now that he heard that the Floating Jade Island Master’s name was also Liu Youqiang and that the two had the same name, Gu Mingzhou naturally felt a little strange.
“What’s wrong? Is fellow Daoist Gu looking down on me?” The Master of Floating Jade Island saw that Gu Mingzhou had lowered his head and laughed to himself after he had made his suggestion. He could not help but feel a little dissatisfied and frowned.
“Brother Liu, please don’t misunderstand. It’s just an old friend who shares the same name as you.” Gu Mingzhou saw the Island Master’s dissatisfaction and immediately understood the reason.
“There’s such a coincidence? Where is that fellow Daoist? I’d like to meet him.” The Master of Floating Jade Island said in surprise.
“He’s not here, I’m afraid Brother Liu won’t be able to see him.” Gu Mingzhou thought of the five-clawed Golden Dragon’s heroic act before his death and couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
“This isn’t the place to talk. I’ll have to trouble you to help me monitor the retreating army of beast cultivators and prevent them from coming back. I have to go deal with internal affairs.” The Island Master of Floating Jade Island noticed the change in Gu Mingzhou’s mood and could roughly guess what was going on. He immediately changed the topic.
“No problem,” he said. Gu Mingzhou cupped his hands and said.
“After I’m done with the affairs of the Floating Jade, I’ll accompany Brother Gu to drink!” The Master of Floating Jade Island rapidly flew towards the Floating Jade Main Palace.
The attack of the million-strong demonic cultivator army, as well as the rebellion of the left protector and the others, had already caused chaos on the Floating Jade Island. If the Island Master of Floating Jade Island had not been concerned about Gu Mingzhou’s cultivation, he would have probably flown out of the Floating Jade Palace to deal with it.
Gu Mingzhou could understand the Master of Floating Jade Island’s anxiety.
Looking at the endless cold land in the north, he couldn’t help but sigh.
A short time passed, and the world changed!
The current Floating Jade Island couldn’t be any more rotten.
Not to mention the countless deaths and injuries, there was also the blow of the rebellion, the wearing down of people’s hearts, and the annihilation of their fighting spirit.
To the living beings of Floating Jade Island, this was a disaster that was difficult to erase.
The flames of war spread across the land, and the dried blood dyed a large area dark red. Many of the buried bodies could not be pieced together neatly, so they could only be buried in piles or burned.
Broken limbs and bones covered the shore like sand and stones. As the sea washed them, they dyed the extremely cold land red.
The pungent smell of blood filled the coastal area.
It caused the entire Floating Jade Island, which was about to fall into the night, to be filled with a heavy air of sorrow.
The king that they relied on did not disappoint them.
Although he had come out late, he had instantly killed the rebellious crowd and forcefully expelled the underwater demon cultivator army. This had restored rogue cultivator Floating Jade’s confidence.
After all, the island was still there, the king was still there, and the Floating Jade would be eternal.
Unfortunately, such a result caused the rogue cultivator of Floating Jade Island to rely on the master of Floating Jade Island, Liu Youqiang.
All matters on the Floating Jade Island would be reported to Liu Youqiang for further discussion.
Liu Youqiang’s Floating Jade returned to the main palace and didn’t have time to come out again.
The Island Master of Floating Jade Island had not forgotten Gu Mingzhou. Although he could not leave, he sent someone to welcome Gu Mingzhou.
As the sun set in the west, the sky was dyed red by the sunset glow. It was a beautiful sight as it surrounded Floating Jade Island.
The human clan’s Floating Jade rogue cultivator welcomed Gu Mingzhou and entered the Floating Jade Palace.
He was the new clan leader of the Floating Jade Island’s human clan, Ye Xiu!
This was due to the fact that Floating Jade Island had chosen not to interfere with the affairs of the world since its establishment.
Otherwise, even if they were both humans, Ye Xiu might not be able to live in harmony with Gu Mingzhou.
The hatred between rogue cultivators and cultivators for tens of millions of years was not as shallow as the hatred between the Floating Jade rogue cultivators and the underwater demon cultivators.
Ye Xiu was full of admiration for Gu Mingzhou, the expert who had broken the Floating Jade Array and saved the tens of thousands of people on the Floating Jade Island.
Gu Mingzhou also admired Ye Xiu, a loyal and fearless rogue cultivator.
Moreover, they were not old, to begin with, so they felt like old friends at first sight and had a good conversation.
While chatting with Ye Xiu, Gu Mingzhou finally found out about the changes in the freezing cold land.
The time could be traced back to the third day after Gu Mingzhou escaped Xu Fengyu’s pursuit and entered the alternate dimension.
At that time, Xu Fengyu, who had failed in his pursuit, did not choose to continue killing. Instead, he took advantage of the intense killing in the world of beast cultivators and directly ruled the underwater beast cultivation world by force, calling himself King.
The underwater beast cultivators and the three islands did not interfere with each other.
Even though the underwater beast cultivators were united, the rogue cultivators did not pay much attention to it.
In the cultivation world, the strong preyed on the weak and were extremely cruel. It was even more so in the underwater world of demonic cultivators. Naturally, no one would care about them.
Xu Fengyu didn’t have any other intentions for the time being.
