Li Feiyu silently chanted for a moment, then suddenly, Elder Tianwuzi and Elder Liu in the distance suffered the activation of their Blood Curses, and a ball of blood flame erupted from their bodies.
They let out incredibly painful, beast-like howls from their throats, utterly shrill, their expressions distorted.
Elder Liu was speechless internally, "I didn't even speak, why do I also have to be punished!"
After a cup of tea, the blood flames disappeared, and both of them were drenched in sweat, their Auras weak, their eyes filled with terror.
He smiled and looked at Heavenly Fate and Fire Cloud, "Aren't the two of you leaving yet? Do you want to fight another round, or do you want to take away their corpses?"
"Oh, no, you can't take their corpses either, because I'm keeping them to refine Puppets. Although their strength won't be as great as when they were alive, they'll still have Nascent Soul combat power."
Tianwuzi said, "Senior Brother."
Elder Liu also looked at Fire Cloud with a hopeful expression, "Elder Fire Cloud."
Heavenly Fate gritted his teeth, "Li Feiyu, remember your words!"
"As long as the Inverse Star Alliance and Star Palace guarantee not to cause trouble on Sangxing Island, I naturally won't do anything to them. As for your war, I'm not interested in participating."
Heavenly Fate came before Tianwuzi, "Junior Brother, just consider it as cultivating in seclusion on Sangxing Island for a hundred years."
"Elder Liu, same for you. I'll talk to Star Palace about it," Fire Cloud said.
Tianwuzi and Elder Liu's eyes dimmed, "Understood, Senior Brother (Elder Fire Cloud)."
Even two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators couldn't defeat Li Feiyu, and one of them was a top-tier Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator. Could they really be forced to fight Li Feiyu to the death?
According to the current situation, who would live and who would die was an unknown.
As for having Archsaint Six Paths and the Twin Sages hunt down Li Feiyu, that was completely unrealistic.
Li Feiyu didn't want to participate in the war between the two factions. If pushed too hard, how terrifying would a lone Cultivator comparable to a top-tier Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator be? Anyone could imagine.
Perhaps Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Middle Stage wouldn't even dare to leave major strongholds, lest they be ambushed and their deaths become part of the opponent's strength.
Heavenly Fate and Elder Fire Cloud departed with unwilling expressions. Li Feiyu only had one or two tenths of his Magic Power left, but how much better off were they? They had also expended four or five tenths.
Li Feiyu had the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk to replenish his Magic Power, and this was the real reason for their apprehension!
Heavenly Fate and Elder Liu looked at this Cultivator, who was impossibly young, perhaps not even a third of their age, with a hint of terror in their eyes.
After this battle, Li Feiyu would become thoroughly famous in the Inner Star Sea, and no one would dare to provoke him easily.
He grinned and said, "Fellow Daoists, let's go, come with me to Sangxing Island."
Li Feiyu also called upon those Core Formation Cultivators, while he himself sat cross-legged on Crimson Crow's back, meditating and cultivating Qi. After experiencing the Blood Curse, Tianwuzi and Elder Liu dared not make any moves.
They truly did not want to experience that feeling worse than death again.
Li Feiyu and his group advanced slowly, taking over three days to reach Sangxing Island.
"Tianwuzi, you shall announce this decree."
"Understood."
Tianwuzi took the decree. Upon arriving at the island, Core Formation stage Cultivators immediately flew over and bowed respectfully.
"By the decree of Alliance Leader Liudao, all members of the Inverse Star Alliance are to withdraw from Sangxing Island! From today onwards, this island belongs to Li Feiyu!"
The Core Formation stage Cultivators looked surprised. Tianwuzi showed them the decree, and upon seeing the Alliance Leader's seal, they finally believed it wasn't a joke.
A Core Formation Elder asked, "Elder Tianwuzi, why should our Inverse Star Alliance give up Sangxing Island for nothing? We worked so hard to capture it back then."
Tianwuzi's Nascent Soul Aura emanated, pressing down on the Core Formation Elder, "Do you have an objection?"
"Those who have not withdrawn within a day will die!"
Hearing Tianwuzi's cold voice, the Core Formation Cultivators' expressions all changed, and then they bowed, saying, "We obey the decree!"
Half a day later, Li Feiyu led them above the market of Sangxing Island.
The pressure of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and the pressure of an eighth-level transformed Demon Beast erupted, making the people in the market feel as if the sky was falling.
"People of Sangxing Island, whether Mortals or Cultivators, listen well. From today onwards, Sangxing Island belongs to me, Li Feiyu. From now on, this will be a neutral island, not involved in the war between the Inverse Star Alliance and Star Palace."
"Anyone who remains on the island must abide by the rules I set. Violators will die!"
"The detailed rules will be announced in one week. Sangxing Island is free to come and go, and anyone who doesn't cause trouble is welcome!"
Afterward, Li Feiyu flew towards Fire Mulberry Peak.
"You all also choose a mountain peak as your Immortal Cave. In the future, you can address me as Island Master. Gather at Fire Mulberry Peak in a week, and I will tell you what you need to do."
"Yes, Island Master."
Aside from Fire Mulberry Peak, Core Formation Cultivators generally wouldn't fancy the other peaks, let alone Nascent Soul Cultivators, but when under someone's roof, one has to bow their head.
Upon reaching the peak, Li Feiyu set up the Illusionary and Elusive Central Unmoving Grand Formation, then fully recovered his Magic Power, using his free time to ponder the detailed rules.
There wasn't much to think about, actually. The most important rule was no fighting. The rest concerned shop taxes, Mortal taxes, and Immortal Cave rental fees.
Li Feiyu drafted these in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then established an auction house and a trading pavilion, recruited low-level Cultivators for patrols, and maintained order.
Those Core Formation Cultivators naturally wouldn't be wasted; with them leading, the island's public order would surely be good.
As for the two Nascent Soul Cultivators, they would oversee the auction house and trading pavilion, and incidentally host Nascent Soul-level exchange meetings.
Li Feiyu needed to perfect the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, as well as the Illusionary and Elusive and the Two Poles Micro Dust Annihilation Grand Formations, which required a vast amount of Materials and some rare, top-tier Materials.
Optimizing Magic Treasures was the same.
He had countless Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, and Demon Beast Materials, all of which could be exchanged for the resources he desired. With his current strength, there was no need to be hesitant.
Many people on the island were observing, but after the detailed rules were released, they immediately felt a sense of relief.
The taxes were low, and the Immortal Caves were also cheaper than before, which was very friendly to them, so one by one, they all stayed.
A month later, two colossal structures appeared on the island: the Great Sun Auction House and the Great Sun Trading Pavilion.
All the items auctioned inside were rare treasures, including Medicinal Pills to increase Core Formation stage Stage Cultivators' cultivation, available for early, middle, and Late Stages, as well as Magic Treasures and rare Spirit Medicine thousands of years old.
However, these were mainly exchanged for goods. Although they could be purchased with Spirit Stones, the price was four or five tenths higher than their intrinsic value, which most people couldn't afford.
Within a month, Li Feiyu diligently studied the teleportation Formation construction method provided by Star Palace, then began building it in a square in the market.
This was a two-way teleportation Formation. After it was built here, a location in the Outer Star Sea also needed to be chosen for construction. Li Feiyu personally oversaw it. Fortunately, his Formation mastery was now considerable, and he had enough Materials, so construction was not difficult and was completed in half a year.
Afterward, he returned to the Outer Star Sea via Fire Crow Taoist's teleportation Formation.
