"How could this happen?"

"Where is the Island Master? Where has Deputy Island Master Xu gone?"

The Fusang Island cultivators were extremely frightened, having no idea what had happened.

Inside the Void Temple, Xu Fu and others had learned about the chaos outside through the Communication Talisman and were shocked and pale.

Fusang Island was their foundation, even more important than Three Immortals Island. After a brief discussion, they could not bother to stop others from entering Three Immortals Island and shot outwards.

Above the Void Temple, a figure flickered, and a woman in white appeared out of thin air, her fair jade-like feet lightly touching the top of the Void Temple.

This woman had hair like clouds and skin like creamy jade; her features were so delicate and flawless that they gave an unreal feeling.

"Tsk tsk, Fusang City is really a nice place, but it also has more value in destruction," said the woman in white with a light laugh, lifting her right hand to brush aside the hair blown by the wind.

Her right hand was a snow-white bone hand, devoid of any flesh, and so was the left.

"Venerable, everything is going smoothly as planned, but Xu Fu and the others are about to come out of the Void Temple. If they return to the midst of Fusang Island cultivators and maintain the situation, things may become very tricky," said a shadowy cold-looking young man who appeared behind the woman in white.

"I know." The woman in white flicked her finger and conjured a palm-sized bone cage, dropping it downwards.

A massive bone cage appeared out of thin air, crashing down with a roar, covering the entire Void Temple.

A strange fluctuation emitted from within the bone cage, causing everyone's bones inside the Void Temple to shake uncontrollably, and their bodies also became immobile.

Xu Fu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators were no exception, filled with both alarm and anger.

"Leave this place to me. You go and incite chaos among the people all over Fusang City, and be sure to provoke infighting among the inhabitants! Both Wan Tianren and the Level 5 Golden Crow are absent; the opportunity is rare. Today, we must destroy the lineage of Fusang Island," the woman in white said with a flickering gaze.

"Yes." The shadowy young man responded and vanished in a blink.

"Everything is indeed as Ni Mu predicted; greed truly can make one lose their mind, even those at the Returning to Void Stage are no different," the woman in white looked down, her arms slowly extending and thumbs pressing downwards.

Inside the Void Temple, the trembling of the bones in Xu Fu's left arm suddenly intensified, and no matter how he tried to suppress it through cultivating, it had no effect.

With a "snap" sound, the bone in his left arm broke, a piece of bone attached to flesh pierced through the skin and emerged.

Xu Fu had a horrified expression in his eyes, wanting to scream in pain, but he couldn't make any sound.

Another "crack" sounded, and the flesh on his right leg split open, another bone protruding.

Successive sounds of bones breaking rose, more and more bones emerged from Xu Fu's body, and he quickly turned into a monster covered with bone spikes, his body submerged in blood.

A blue light shot out from Xu Fu's body, in which was a small blue Nascent Soul with a face full of terror, tunneling away.

However, at that moment, a powerful suction force came from above, enveloping Xu Fu's Nascent Soul.

A chilling force seeped in, the Nascent Soul's mana was frozen, utterly powerless, and it flew upwards.

...

Fightings quickly spread to the depths of Fusang City, soon reaching other areas within the city.

In the Right Wing District, within the residence of Red Ganoderma Island.

The people of Red Ganoderma Island had not gone to the silver light pillar and were now gathered together. Yan Siyun, Yan Sijing, and the others from Hundred Pills Square were also present, all with anxious expressions.

No one spoke; it seemed they were waiting for something.

Two streaks of tunneling light flew from the distance, landing in the courtyard and revealing the figures of two Red Ganoderma Island disciples.

"Island Master, we have clarified the situation. For some reason, there is rampant burning, killing, and looting in Crow Head District. Green Brow Sister and I didn't dare to get close; we just watched from afar, and among those looting, some are unidentified black-clothed people as well as loose cultivators and cultivators from small and medium-sized forces on the island," said a slightly plump female cultivator.

"It seems that the higher-ups of Fusang Island have suddenly disappeared, and the cultivators below the Core Formation stage simply can't resist. I'm afraid it won't be long before everything will be looted," said another girl with verdant eyebrows, continuing the conversation.

"How could this be? Who dares to cause trouble on Fusang Island?" Bi Shuirou couldn't believe it.

"The key lies with those unidentified black-clothed cultivators. Moreover, this place is not safe. In not much time, the looting army will come to this location; we must make plans early!" Yan Siyun, pointing to her brow, said.

Having witnessed Yan Siyun's prescience over this period, Bi Shuirou's complexion changed upon hearing this.

"Gather everyone immediately, take the supplies, and leave Fusang Island!" she ordered as she rose to her feet.

Upon hearing her words, the Red Ganoderma Island cultivators immediately got busy.

"Prepare the people from Hundred Pills Square as well, and leave this place," Yan Siyun instructed a Hundred Pills Square cultivator behind her.

The cultivator agreed and hurried away.

Inside the Wuzu District workshop, as shouts from far away reached, the people inside were all terrified, unclear about what had occurred.

However, the news quickly spread: Crow Head District was in total chaos, and someone was looting the wealth of Fusang Island. The workshop's people were shocked and horrified.

Amidst the horror, a bizarre atmosphere spread, and the cultivators walking on the street slowly began to show greedy gleams in their eyes, eyeing the nearby treasure-filled shops.

The shopkeepers' faces turned even uglier, and some began closing their doors, all trying their best to be gentle with their movements, as if afraid of stirring something up.

Just at that moment, an enormous "boom" resounded!

The center of the workshop area, where an elixir shop was located, suddenly exploded, sending a fire column shooting up into the sky, affecting nearby shops, collapsing walls, and scattering a myriad of goods across the ground.

"Rob them..."

The cultivators on the streets had their eyes turn red as they charged towards the nearby shops.

The once bustling and lively workshop area of Fusang City was instantly transformed into a purgatory battlefield, filled with frantic slaughter and looting.

...

While the chaos in Fusang City rapidly fermented, those within the secret realm remained completely oblivious.

On a beach spread with fine white sand, waves surged from the sea, layer upon layer, slapping against Yuan Ming's cheeks.

Stimulated by the sea waves, Yuan Ming, who had been in a deep slumber, suddenly opened his eyes and rose from the sand.

He looked around and realized he was on a lush and verdant island, teeming with plant life.

The light breeze wafting through the environment carried with it an exceptionally rich nature's spiritual energy, far surpassing that of the mainland where the Three Immortals Hall resided.

Simply being there, without even trying to absorb it, he could feel the spiritual energy washing over his pores again and again, bringing him a sense of comfort and relaxation he had never known before.

However, Yuan Ming only allowed himself a brief indulgence before immediately refocusing his attention, looking around him.

Xi Ying, who had just been transmitted with him, was nowhere to be found.

Yuan Ming released his Divine Sense to search the surroundings but couldn't find any trace of Xi Ying.

The Golden Crow Soul that resided within his Divine Sense was still there, but it had become confused, and when he tried to mentally communicate with it, there was no response.

"Could it be that the transmission array sends people to random locations?" Yuan Ming wondered internally.

The Golden Crow Soul being in such a state suggested it had lost connection with Xi Ying, seemingly blocked by some kind of prohibition.

Considering Xi Ying's Divine Skills, self-preservation wasn't an issue, so Yuan Ming wasn't too worried. He looked deeper into the island.

At the farthest distance his gaze could reach, he could indistinctly see three towering peaks standing side by side, each radiating blue, white, and gold lights respectively.

"Could this be the Three Immortals Island? So it's not about three separate islands, but three peaks on one island?" Yuan Ming muttered to himself as he gazed at the mountains.

Just then, he received a message from the first soul within the Stealing Heaven Tripod; Yan Siyun was praying to him.

"Yan Siyun? What could she want?" Yuan Ming's expression shifted as he dove into the sea.

He summoned a silver barrier with the Silver Token, isolating the surroundings, then entered the space of the Stealing Heaven Tripod and sat atop the White Jade Lotus Platform to sense Yan Siyun's prayers.

Yuan Ming's expression changed as his Divine Sense, using Yan Siyun as an anchor point, descended upon Fusang City, taking in everything at a glance.

Fusang City was currently engulfed in warfare. Everywhere, there was burning, killing, and looting. The once prosperous city was now severely damaged and nearly half-destroyed.

Fortunately, Red Ganoderma Island and Yan Siyun's Hundred Pills Square had reacted swiftly, sensing that something was amiss. They had immediately left and were now outside of Fusang City, making their escape from the island.

"Those men in black, they look very much like members of the Dawn Alliance. Could this be the work of the Wu Yue Sect?" Yuan Ming pondered, growing more convinced as he thought about it.

The Wu Yue Sect aspired for world dominance, and overtaking Fusang Island, the leader of the East Sea Islands, would not only showcase the Wu Yue Sect's strength but also severely demoralize the East Sea Immortal Cultivation World, potentially causing other islands in the East Sea to submit.

The old fogeys from Fusang, Jin Ao, Kongling, and Di Hua islands used these people to enter Three Immortals Island, but Wu Yue Sect cut them off from behind. It was a case of stealing chickens only to end up losing the rice.

"Fusang Island has become a place of conflict, and those men in black are likely followers of the Wu Yue Sect. Hurry and leave, head back to Dragon King City!" Yuan Ming instructed.

Upon hearing this, Yan Siyun was greatly shocked and promptly acknowledged with respect, urging their group to hasten their pace.

At that moment, dozens of white shadows shot from the ground below, heading straight for the Hundred Pills Square and Red Ganoderma Island group, swiftly reaching them. They were dozens of white bone arrows as thick as arms, their tips glowing with a faint green light, obviously coated in a potent poison.

Yuan Ming had already sensed the ambush below and took the Thunder God Hammer to make a feigned strike.

In front of Yan Siyun, the void fluctuated, and a fan-shaped thunderbolt shot out, sweeping past the dozens of white bone arrows, knocking them all aside.

Both the Red Ganoderma Island and Hundred Pills Square people were initially shocked but then breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Yan Siyun with admiration.

Yan Siyun too was startled by the sudden appearance of the thunderbolt but soon realized it was Lord Nether Moon God who had taken action, which gave her great peace of mind.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Yan," said Bi Shuirou through mental communication and then instructed the Red Ganoderma Island members to form a defensive array, while she herself stepped forward, challenging loudly, "Who's lying in ambush here? If you have the gall, show yourselves!"

"Hmph!"

A snort came from below, and a streak of black light revealed five men in black, the leader of whom was a formidable man who had reached the Core Formation Stage.

The other men in black had their faces covered with black veils, concealing their true faces, but the pressure they exuded revealed that they were also of the Core Formation level, albeit their aura seemed quite strange.

Sensing the cultivation level of these men in black, Bi Shuirou's heart sank, silently realizing that something was wrong.
