Before Jiu Yan left, she didn’t inform Lu Ye at all, and it’s not reasonable for her to inform him, so Lu Ye came to Chu Shen to ask for information, hoping Chu Shen might know something.

Chu Shen indeed knew the situation: "Mother said an old friend has summoned her to another Star System for help, and she’ll be back soon."

"I see," Lu Ye understood.

Jiu Yan went to visit a friend, which is normal for someone of Sun Blaze’s stature to make friends in different Star Systems. Not to mention Sun Blaze, even he himself knows many people from other Star Systems.

So Lu Ye didn’t think too much about it.

After chatting with Chu Shen for a few more moments, he soon departed.

Yet for some reason, with Jiu Yan’s departure, Lu Ye suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

This feeling made him secretly cautious; with his cultivation power at this level, some moments of sudden premonition might be a warning.

In the bamboo building, Lu Ye pondered over the matter but couldn’t find anything amiss or worthy of concern. This was the All Phenomena Ocean, and as long as its rules were not broken, he could rest easy based on Three Worlds Island’s foundation and his previously established reputation.

After thinking for a long time, he finally reached into his chest and took out the Dice of Fate.

Since acquiring this item, he had actively shaken it only once; other times it appeared by itself in various training scenarios.

From past experiences, the Dice of Fate lived up to its name; the omens it revealed were often closely linked to his forthcoming situation.

So Lu Ye thought, it was not the Dice of Fate that dictated fate, but the fortunes and misfortunes of the future reflecting on this dice.

If it hadn’t been for this time’s unease, he wouldn’t have casually used this item, but at this moment, he couldn’t afford to ignore it.

After a brief contemplation, he tossed the dice forward.

With a roll, the small dice settled down, flashing a ghostly light, and transformed into the character "Misfortune."

Before Lu Ye could examine it closely, the character "Misfortune" reverted to ghostly light and penetrated his forehead.

Lu Ye frowned, realizing this "Misfortune" was evidently not a favorable omen, confirming his unease wasn’t baseless, and something truly might happen.

However, since it is "Misfortune" and not "Disaster," it seems the matter might not be significant? Or perhaps not overly dangerous, just a bit challenging?

No matter what, it made Lu Ye proceed cautiously. After pondering, he got up and headed to the pill-making room, found Second Senior Sister, explained the situation, and Second Senior Sister simply nodded without inquiry.

After leaving Second Senior Sister, Lu Ye checked the Talent Tree. Under the fire glare, gray fog rose, clearly indicating the Mysterious Power of the Dice of Fate was being consumed by the Talent Tree. Given this pace, it would be entirely consumed in two or three days.

He felt slightly at ease.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.

On this day, while Lu Ye was resolving some cultivators’ doubts, he suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching from one direction. He immediately raised his head to look over, his eyebrows furrowing.

His sudden premonition truly came true, yet he never expected Yuandu, that old scoundrel, would be the one coming!

Moreover, it was right after Jiu Yan left, within just a few days—is this mere coincidence?

Lu Ye felt it wasn’t quite so.

He wasn’t the only one sensing this Sun Blaze aura; many Moon Jade governors on the island felt it as well, and soon several strands of Mental Consciousness transmitted from various places. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

After a brief exchange, Lu Ye sprang into action, heading toward the direction of Yuandu. Meanwhile, with his command, the entire Three Worlds Island’s protective array was pushed to its limit.

Yuandu’s personal arrival clearly indicated hostile intent; some things could not be left undefended.

A moment later, within the protective array, Lu Ye at the forefront, with several Island Masters gathered behind him, stood in mid-air, staring in Yuandu’s direction.

That old scoundrel did not conceal his Sun Blaze aura; yet his speed was not fast, even rather slow, allowing countless cultivators to take notice. No one knew what Yuandu was up to.

But when discerning that Yuandu’s path led to the renowned Three Worlds Island, many cultivators showed a curious expression, following from afar.

Many cultivators knew about the enmity between Three Worlds Island and Yuandu, but as Yuandu was the All Phenomena Ocean’s governor, he needed to adhere strictly to its various regulations, meaning even as Sun Blaze, as long as Three Worlds Island hadn’t violated the rules, he couldn’t do anything.

Now Yuandu suddenly aimed directly at Three Worlds Island, clearly preparing for big action, naturally sparking curiosity.

"Junior Brother Lu, this old geezer is coming with ill intention," He Baichuan said worriedly; he clearly understood Yuandu’s motive, as someone of Sun Blaze stature could arrive very quickly but instead moved slowly, deliberately drawing attention and letting others follow. This was creating a momentum, putting pressure on Three Worlds Island while showcasing his fairness and justice to others.

He must have absolute confidence in himself, so whatever he intends to do is under All Phenomena Ocean’s regulations, avoiding any situation that could be criticized.

The speed at which news travels in the All Phenomena Ocean is astonishing, especially when it concerns the Sun Blaze governor and the Three Realms Island. So, in just a short time, the whole All Phenomena Ocean knew what was happening here. Those nearby hurried over to witness it, and those further away were on their way.

Everyone realized that something significant might happen today!

A journey that should have taken only a dozen breaths was forcibly stretched into one incense stick’s time by Yuan Du. By the time Yuan Du arrived outside the Three Realms Island, the surrounding area was already crowded with people.

Yuan Du did not come alone; he brought nearly a hundred Moon Jade cultivators. Some of these Moon Jade belonged to a certain domain in the local star system and directly obeyed Yuan Du. However, most were governors of various Spirit Islands.

For instance, Lu Ye saw Zhao Yunqi from Giant Blade Island...

This Island Master of Giant Blade Island, who had been twice extorted by the Three Realms Island, couldn’t help but shrink his neck when meeting Lu Ye’s eyes. He had a psychological shadow and did not want to get involved in matters against the Three Realms Island this time. Unfortunately, Yuan Du’s summons left him no choice.

Although on the surface, Yuan Du personally leading the charge meant the Three Realms Island had no means to resist, Zhao Yunqi’s heart was still uneasy. He felt things wouldn’t go so smoothly. If Yuan Du were to fail, Giant Blade Island would have no standing in the All Phenomena Ocean any longer.

Despite knowing such a thing was unlikely to happen, the worry persisted.

The Moon Jade governors summoned by Yuan Du were not limited to Zhao Yunqi alone; there were several demon cultivators, obviously from Zixuan’s side, but they were all new to the scene, unfamiliar to Lu Ye.

As for the other Moon Jades... Lu Ye didn’t recognize many of them either.

As the Sun Blaze governor, Yuan Du had the right to summon Moon Jades from various Spirit Islands for assistance in certain matters. This time, his move was to make a big show of it, to let people know he wasn’t acting out of personal vendetta, but standing on the moral high ground!

One side was the Sun Blaze in person, followed by a hundred powerful Moon Jades, while the other side had only Lu Ye and a few others. The two sides were separated by the protective array, only a hundred feet apart.

Lu Ye looked at Yuan Du and spoke calmly, "Such awe-inspiring might! I wondered who could possess such power; it turns out it’s Governor Yuan Du in person. Forgive me for not welcoming you from afar. May I ask what brings the governor here?"

Yuan Du just looked at him indifferently, and due to the angle, it carried a slightly superior feel.

Faced with Lu Ye’s inquiry, he didn’t respond at all, clearly considering Lu Ye unworthy of conversation.

Beside him, Yuan Cheng stepped forward, smiling at Lu Ye, "Island Master Lu, we meet again." He had personally witnessed Lu Ye kill Lion Heart back then, which left him jittery for a long time. Lu Ye gave him the impression of being lawless, daring even to offend Yuan Du. His dealings with Lu Ye were far from pleasant, and if one day Lu Ye decided to kill him, how could he resist?

However... after today, he would no longer worry about such things.

The reckless, lawless sort would eventually face the consequences. Living on the All Phenomena Ocean dared to offend a local Sun Blaze; Yuan Cheng couldn’t understand what Lu Ye was thinking. Was there a hole in his head?

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Cheng!" Lu Ye turned to look at him.

Yuan Cheng nodded, his expression serious, "Island Master Lu, the Lord Governor has matters to attend to, so please open the protective array and allow us to enter and discuss things first."

"The protective array..." Lu Ye tilted his head, "What an unfortunate coincidence. The array here on this island had some issues recently and can’t be activated for now. If the governor has any business, perhaps it can be discussed here."

Faced with a Sun Blaze, the protective array might serve as a layer of security. How could Lu Ye casually open it to let anyone in? If the other party had ill intent, his side would be powerless to resist.

Moreover, judging by the other party’s stance, it was obvious they were here for more than just a conversation.

"The protective array cannot be activated." Yuan Cheng’s eye twitched, finding it hard to understand how Lu Ye could be so blatantly dishonest.

But before he could say anything, Lu Ye spoke first, "Or is it that the governor has matters unsuitable for outsiders to see?"

This was clearly implying that Yuan Du intended to carry out some shady schemes.

Yuan Cheng merely laughed, "Naturally not. Well then, since so many fellow Daoists have gathered here today, there are indeed matters that need to be revealed to the public, so that fellow Daoists could see some people’s true colors!"

The fact that the Three Realms Island kept its array tightly closed was expected, so Yuan Cheng didn’t care.

As long as that matter was confirmed, the Three Realms Island and Lu Ye would have no chance of turning over!

"Bring it up!" Yuan Cheng suddenly gestured.

The next moment, two Moon Jades escorted a figure to the front. Under countless gazes, astonished exclamations quickly spread.

"Blood Race!"

"It’s a Blood Race."

"Why bring a Blood Race here? Could it be..."

The presence of the Blood Race hidden within All Phenomena Ocean was something many were aware of, but their concealment was so discreet that unless a Sun Blaze investigated closely, they were almost undetectable.

Furthermore, the hidden Blood Race numbers were not substantial, and they hadn’t caused any disruption. Most of them lay low, cultivating quietly and gathering some information, which was relatively harmless, so naturally, no one paid much attention.

But at this moment, with Yuan Du personally involved and presenting a Blood Race directly before the Three Realms Island, it inevitably sparked some speculations.
