Chapter 244 - 242 Twists and Turns
Xiao Ye, while undergoing arduous training on the Nameless Island, had thoroughly figured out the situation on Heavenly Slaughter Island.
Heavenly Slaughter Island was one thousand li away from the Nameless Island where he currently was.
Twenty years ago, four Martial Artists from the Mystic Martial Realm, who had failed to ascend to the True Spirit Continent, refused to return defeated. After discovering Heavenly Slaughter Island, they claimed it as their own and became pirates, specifically targeting Martial Artists traveling to the True Spirit Continent.
At the same time, as these four were as close as brothers and to avoid conflict, they simply assumed the status of Elders. No one took the title of Island Master, and they were known collectively as the Four Evil.
The elder that Xiao Ye had killed was one of the Four Evil, and his Cultivation was the weakest amongst them. Both Second Evil and Third Evil had reached the Mid Stage of Fifth Transition Xuanwu, while the strongest, Da Sha, had been missing for three years. Rumors said that he had successfully ascended to the True Spirit Continent.
"Even if Second Evil and Third Evil join forces, I can hold my ground against them. But if we add the combined strike of those two hundred Mystic Martial Martial Artists, even I would fall," Xiao Ye carefully analyzed the power balance between both sides.
Eventually, he concluded that if he wanted to travel to Heavenly Slaughter Island, he needed the help of the Martial Artists of the Mystic Martial Realm from the Nameless Island to weaken the power of Heavenly Slaughter Island.
Of course, as this matter began because of him, he naturally intended to do his utmost to ensure the safety of these people.
"Ah, when will that kid Zhang Qingyuan make his move? There are already more than two hundred strong Martial Artists of the Mystic Martial Realm on the island," Lin Hai said with a gloomy expression, growing impatient after such a long wait.
But there was no helping it; the key to the success of this plan depended on whether they could delay Second Evil and Third Evil because only then would they have the time to attack the Martial Artists of Heavenly Slaughter Island and break through their defenses.
