Xu Fang had initially acted on a whim, wanting to see the reaction from Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's side. He pretended to be ignorant in the group chat, and ultimately succeeded in getting the Creation Jade Butterfly to livestream the situation over at Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's place.
As it turned out, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, for reasons unknown, was talking to himself and revealing such earth-shattering secrets.
Recalling Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's words from just now, Xu Fang felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
It was one thing for Dao Ancestor Hong Jun to scheme against the Eastern King, but he even had to scheme against Yingzhou Island. Was this scheming too far-reaching?
"Fortunately, he found it too troublesome and didn't directly move all three islands of Penglai in front of the Eastern King. Otherwise, I would truly be at a loss."
Helpless at this moment, Xu Fang could only comfort himself. At least Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island were safe and had not suffered Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's wicked hand.
These arrangements by the will of heaven were truly troublesome and circuitous!
Seeing the spiritual treasures in the group chat showing off their newfound knowledge, Xu Fang smiled and spoke from the identity of the robot Xiao Bing.
"Thank you, elder brothers and sisters, for your guidance. You've saved this younger brother from such a calamity. I will forever remember your great kindness."
In the group video, they were all relieved to see robot Xiao Bing had seen the error of its ways.
"Well said, you're teachable. It wasn't in vain that I advised you just now."
"However, speaking of which, with Dao Ancestor Hong Jun involved in the matter of Yingzhou Island, it's indeed difficult."
"Yes, it's fortunate we didn't act impulsively and decided not to take any forceful measures. It was Xu小子 who thought carefully."
"I must say, this time he's had a narrow escape. Otherwise, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun would have swatted him to death with a single palm!"
At this moment, knowing that Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had a hand in the Yingzhou Island affair, all the spiritual treasures couldn't help but admire Xu Fang's foresight and his decision to rent Yingzhou Island from the Eastern King.
Otherwise, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun wouldn't care about first come, first served. He would only care if his plans were hindered.
At that time, if Xu Fang were to compete with the Eastern King for Yingzhou Island, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun would likely not mind lending a hand to the Eastern King.
After all, what the Eastern King was doing was fishing for big fish. Xu Fang was clearly too small and not part of Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's plan.
Xu Fang had obtained the information he wanted. He was not interested in the spiritual treasures' belated praise, and he casually closed the chat group, continuing on his journey, hoping to return to Penglai Immortal Island as soon as possible.
Who knew if Dao Ancestor Hong Jun would feel that making Yingzhou Island a burial ground for the Eastern King was not enough, and would also add Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island to show sincerity!
It was best to hurry back, discuss the matter with that clown, the Eastern King, and then part ways, leaving the rest to fate.
The Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West established the Immortal Court on Yingzhou Island as their dojo, causing a huge sensation in the Great Desolation.
Countless immortals rushed over upon hearing the news, all requesting to join the Immortal Court.
They knew very well that these two, the heads of male and female immortals, were personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun and held unparalleled status and prestige.
With a blessed land like Yingzhou Island as their dojo, and the acknowledgment of merit from the Heavenly Dao previously, there was no doubt that these two were divinely appointed.
Following them, who would fear not being able to rise to prominence in this Great Desolation world in the future?
The newly established Immortal Court was in need of personnel. Seeing so many immortals flocking to them, the Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West naturally accepted them all, incorporating them under the banner of the Immortal Court.
From then on, the Eastern King established the Purple Prefecture Manor on Yingzhou Island and continuously sent out invitations for heroes throughout the Great Desolation, inviting all sorts of immortals to join.
The immortals were overjoyed and rushed from all over the Great Desolation to join the Immortal Court.
The reputation of the Immortal Court was unmatched in the Great Desolation world, its prestige soaring past that of the Witch and Demon races, shining brilliantly.
However, amidst this scene of prosperity, the Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West were not swayed by the superficial splendor and remained vigilant.
"Strange, most strange. Why are the Witch and Demon races still so quiet at this time?"
The Eastern King gazed towards the distant horizon, filled with doubt.
Logically, with the establishment of their Immortal Court, the Witch and Demon races must feel a great threat and could not remain indifferent.
Why were the Witch and Demon races now completely silent, as if they had not even noticed the establishment of the Immortal Court?
"Yes, we were worried and prepared to defend against the Witch and Demon races' interference."
The Queen Mother of the West stood beside the Eastern King and said.
With the establishment of the Immortal Court and the recruitment of immortals from all over, they were naturally wary of the Witch and Demon races disrupting their plans.
They had already planned that if the Witch and Demon races dared to interfere, they would use Dao Ancestor Hong Jun as their backing and the title of male and female immortals to intimidate them.
However, it had been some time since the Immortal Court was established, and countless immortals had flocked to Yingzhou Island to join it.
The Witch and Demon races seemed genuinely unaware of this matter and had shown no reaction to date, leaving the Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West bewildered as to what the Witch and Demon races were planning.
"Could it be that they are holding back, preparing to strike a decisive blow?"
The Queen Mother of the West speculated. With the Witch and Demon races remaining inactive, could they be secretly brewing a plan to deal with them?
"That is a possibility, we must be on guard."
The Eastern King nodded upon hearing this.
"However, I believe that with Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's name, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous. They are probably vexed about how to deal with us right now."
This made sense, and the Queen Mother of the West nodded as well.
"However, we must still guard against their sudden attack."
Otherwise, if caught off guard, they wouldn't even have the chance to seek help from Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
"Yes, I understand."
The Eastern King acknowledged the Queen Mother of the West's sense of caution, then changed the subject.
"However, the inaction of the Witch and Demon races is good news for us."
"Indeed. We can take advantage of this period to develop properly. It is precisely what we wished for."
Although they had Dao Ancestor Hong Jun as their backer, the Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West did not wish to directly confront the Witch and Demon races.
The Witch and Demon races were powerful, and it would not be something that could be resolved in a short period; it required a long-term strategy.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the Witch and Demon races had not attacked the nascent Immortal Court. Whatever the reason, this was good news for them.
They could seize this opportunity to actively recruit immortals and strengthen the power of the Immortal Court.
"With this, the unification of the Great Desolation will be within reach!"
The Eastern King gazed towards the distant horizon, full of confidence for the future.
When their strength was sufficient to rival that of the Witch and Demon races, it would be time to formally declare their authority over all immortals, conquer the Witch and Demon races, and unify the Great Desolation!
Fortunately, the Dragon Head Staff was not interested in broadcasting at this moment. If Xu Fang had seen it, he would have surely mocked it endlessly.
All that talk of ambition and grand plans was merely being a pawn in someone else's game, an arrangement orchestrated by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun!
