Chiba Island is the name of a group of islands, and the names of the islands here all contain the character "叶".
Green Leaf Island, Yellow Leaf Island, Blue Leaf Island, Bright Leaf Island, Purple Leaf Island, Banana Leaf Island… there are hundreds of them in total. Each island is lush with trees, full of mysterious energy, rich in resources and minerals. It is a transportation bottleneck, no wonder the Sea Monster Island covets this place.
After nearly twenty days of fighting, the Danding Divine Sect recaptured nearly half of the island. Now the Western Route Army is stationed on Shenye Island and is heading towards Green Leaf Island, Yellow Leaf Island, and Blue Leaf Island.
As the sun sets and the sea breeze blows, the flowers, plants and trees on Shenye Island sway, sending out waves of the island's unique salty and fishy aroma.
It was the time to reorganize the army. Thousands of people from the Danding Divine Sect were either practicing, exercising their martial arts, going into the sea to pick herbs, collecting the essence of sunflower water, or enjoying this leisurely time.
Ye Xiangyang came to the Shenye Island riding a golden fire lion.
The huge golden fire lion is Ye Xiangyang's signature. Many people looked at this extremely majestic lion and knew that Ye Xiangyang was coming.
When Hu Ba saw the lion, his eyes were filled with excitement and his trembling cheeks were filled with excitement.
Before the battle of the South China Sea, Ye Xiangyang told him that he would be there soon, but he never expected that it would take twenty days.
Hu Ba knew that the victory of the Jiuzhou Empire in the war that year was the credit of Ye Xiangyang alone. If he had not stolen the money and food from the King of Zhengxi, the history of the Jiuzhou Empire would probably have been rewritten.
Being able to fight alongside his elder brother is a great desire in his heart.
"Wow, big brother is here, big brother is here."
Hu Ba, with more than 400 of his men, quickly surrounded Ye Xiangyang with great excitement.
"That's good, the president is here."
"Yes, we brothers have been waiting for this day and night, and finally the president has returned."
"Hahaha, with the president here, we feel more confident."
"We can achieve more by following the president."
Hu Ba hugged Ye Xiangyang all of a sudden, as if they were lovers who hadn't seen each other for a long time: "Brother, why did you come just now? I missed you so much."
Ye Xiangyang was also very excited. Seeing his brother in high spirits, he couldn't help but hit Hu Ba hard: "Looks like the momentum is good. Have you embarrassed our Xiangyang Club?"
"Shame on you? What's the point of that? I led five hundred brothers to charge into battle, and we were invincible. We have made great achievements. Everyone in Danding Divine Sect knows about my Tiger Corps."
"That's right, President. Our Tiger Corps is so powerful in the South China Sea that even the Flying Donkey Demon gets a headache when hearing our name."
Ye Xiangyang was happy in his heart. Only his brothers who had made great achievements could get the pass to enter the inner gate: "Have you seen Duanmu Ao, Yun Jianhan and others?"
"They are not on this island, and the two of them are no longer on the same island. However, Senior Brother Duanmu'ao's Divine Dragon Corps and Senior Brother Yun Jianhan's Sharp Sword Corps are also very famous now."
"Huh, the war has been going on for twenty days, and you're just arriving now. I wonder if you're as timid as a mouse, or if you're deliberately afraid of swords and knives?" At this time, an untimely voice reached the ears of many people.
Hu Ba's eyebrows immediately stood up. He let go of Ye Xiangyang and looked at a core disciple in Taoist attire not far away. He said sternly, "Brother Qiu, my elder brother came a few days late because of something. What's wrong? The sect hasn't said anything yet, and you are picking on me. My elder brother came late, but his contribution to the battle in the South China Sea is no less than yours."
Qiu Shengjie smiled coldly: "I don't know whether their achievements are greater than mine. I only know that I have been fighting bloody battles on the front line for twenty days, while some people in the sect are free and easy. They are brutal and cruel when fighting among themselves, but when they really confront the enemy, they are more slippery than loaches."
Qiu Shengjie is a member of the Tiandihui. The Tiandihui had long received orders from Ji Wenxuan and Diaoqi Jianyang that as long as Ye Xiangyang appeared in the South China Sea, they would suppress him at all costs. It would be even better if they could get rid of this guy on the battlefield without anyone knowing.
The Tiandihui also knew that it was impossible to subdue Ye Xiangyang, and it was also impossible to obtain the recipe of Qianlong Shengtian Pill.
Since no one except Ye Xiangyang knows the recipe for this pill, it is better to get rid of this guy to prevent others from getting it and increasing their strength.
The Tiandihui secretly issued a huge reward. Anyone who could suppress or kill Ye Xiangyang would be rewarded with a large amount of money. This kind of reward made everyone in the Tiandihui excited.
This is the reason why Qiu Shengjie, the master of divination, suppresses Ye Xiangyang without hesitation when he sees him.
Ye Xiangyang smiled faintly, his face was calm: "A good dog doesn't block the road. This is not your home. It's none of your business when I come. I'm not saying anything bad about you. Even if I, Ye Xiangyang, go back right now, my contribution in this battle in the South China Sea will be greater than yours."
Qiu Shengjie smiled coldly: "Your contribution is greater than mine. I already have 3,000 merit points. I want to ask you how many merit points you have? You have the ability, but you are an expert in bragging."
Ye Xiangyang smiled slightly: "Boasting? Hehehe, I can say this, tomorrow, the merit points of me, Ye, will be much more than what you get in twenty days. More than three thousand merit points, what is there to be proud of? You can show off in front of others, but in front of me, you are nothing."
Hundreds of people from the Tiandihui also gathered there, and it was obvious that they were led by Qiu Shengjie: "I didn't expect that the president of the Xiangyanghui, who doesn't know how well other projects are, is really good at bragging."
"That's right. A Mystic Master-level Flying Donkey Patella Demon only has one merit point, a Mystic General-level one has ten merit points, and a Mystic Sect-level one has one hundred merit points. Senior Brother Qiu Shengjie is definitely one of the best to have obtained more than three thousand merit points. You can surpass him in one day. You can't brag like that."
"Humph, do you think the Flying Donkey Demon is made of paper and you can kill them indiscriminately? Maybe you won't mind dying at the hands of the Flying Donkey Demon."
"That's right. If you can surpass Senior Brother Qiu tomorrow, I am willing to lose my head."
When the hundreds of people from the Xiangyang Society saw the Tiandihui people picking on them, they were all filled with anger: "You have never seen the world. If my eldest brother surpasses Qiu Shengjie tomorrow, and you really commit suicide by slitting your throat, then wait for your suicide."
"I don't have that much energy on the battlefield. I have to deal with myself one by one. Ugh!"
Ye Xiangyang waved his hand and said, "Qiu Shengjie, there is no point in us arguing here. Do you dare to go to the elders with me and make a bet? Tomorrow we will both receive a task and see who completes the task first and who has the highest merit. If you dare, go ahead. If you don't, don't bark like a dog."
Ye Xiangyang was not polite to the person who mercilessly suppressed him. Polite? If someone hit you in the face, you still have to extend your face and greet them with a smile. Ye Xiangyang did not have such a mean habit, so he did not even call him "senior brother".
"Okay," Qiu Shengjie's eyes sparkled, and he sneered in his heart. He had the Tiandihui as his backing. He had just sent a message to Ji Wenxuan and the others. They would definitely send people to support the battle tomorrow. By then, his people would be much stronger than theirs. "I have a suggestion. I will lead the people of our Tiandihui, and you lead the people of your Xiangyanghui. We will take on the next mission. Do you dare?"
Hu Ba stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Brother, don't take it. There are more than 1,200 people in the Tiandihui, and we only have about 500 people here. We will be at a disadvantage."
Ye Xiangyang smiled faintly and waved his hand: "It's okay, okay, I accept your statement. Words are not enough, do you dare to sign a military order in front of the elders?"
Hu Ba looked at Ye Xiangyang and called out worriedly: "Brother—"
It's not that Hu Ba is afraid. He has been on the border of Kyushu Empire for many years. Although he is young, he has experienced countless life and death experiences. He is not afraid of death, but they are small in number, with only 450 brothers, and 50 of them have already died on Qianye Island. There are a total of 1,286 people in the Tiandihui, including 4 core disciples and 35 inner disciples.
With such a huge difference, how can we catch up with their tasks
If he loses, nothing will happen to him, but Ye Xiangyang's undefeated myth will be shattered, and he may even be killed in their conspiracy.
"Tiger Tyrant, what do you mean by Tiger Corps? You don't even dare to make a bet. What kind of Tiger Corps is this? It's better to call it Kitten Corps."
"Hu Ba, if you don't have the courage, you might as well go home and look after your children. Martial artists don't need to be so timid and cowardly."
"How on earth did the Tigers come to be under the leadership of such a person?"
Hu Ba suppressed his anger again and again, and smiled coldly: "Tian Di Hui, you only rely on your numbers. If all of you send out 500 people to the front line to kill the enemy, I am afraid of any of you."
"That's right, our Tiger Army is definitely not just a boast."
Hu Ba waved his hand and said, "Brothers, there is no need to say anything more. Let's wait for the result of the eldest brother."
The news of the bet between the Xiangyang Society and the Tiandi Society spread throughout the entire Shenye Island in an instant.
The entire Shenye Island was in an uproar: "Oh, we have to say that Ye Xiangyang is a troublemaker. He hid in the rear for twenty days, and when he arrived, he dared to provoke the core disciple Qiu Shengjie. I really have to admire his ability to cause trouble."
"Have some conscience when you speak. Ye Xiangyang just arrived at Shenye Island, why did he go to provoke Qiu Shengjie? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the Tiandihui looking for trouble."
"That's right, you think everyone else is a fool. The Tiandihui has a large number of people and is powerful, and everyone knows that they can bully others by taking advantage of their power."
When they arrived at the elders' tent, the inner court dean Lu Renjia was sitting in the middle, and several elders were sitting on the side, thinking about how to attack tomorrow: Green Leaf Island, Yellow Leaf Island, and Blue Leaf Island.
Someone reported: "Elder, Qiu Shengjie and Ye Xiangyang want to see you."
Lu Renjia chuckled: "Everyone, the two of them started arguing as soon as they met. Now our problem is solved."
After meeting the elders, the two men talked about the bet they made today. They demanded to attack three islands tomorrow, with the Tiandi Society and the Xiangyang Society each attacking one island.
Lu Renjia nodded, took out the map, and pointed at the three islands in front of Shenye Island: "The larger island in front of our Shenye Island is called Huangye Island. This island is relatively large, and the Feilu Patella Demon has 20,000 soldiers stationed on it. The one in the east is called Green Leaf Island, and the one in the west is called Qingye Island. There is a Xuanzong strongman stationed on each of them, and there are 10,000 soldiers on each."
Dean Lu’s introduction was very clear: “You guys want to bet, the mission is just like this, bet however you want.”
