Seven Stars Island's Defensive Outpost Island
In fact, after Jiang Liu learned that so many people had escaped, he knew that he could no longer keep his arrival at Seven Stars Island a secret.
Therefore, Jiang Liu decided not to rush on his way and drove away from the battle zone.
He ordered all the warriors on the ship to conserve their energy and not participate in rowing, in order to prepare for any possible battle.
Jiang Liu also took this opportunity to interrogate the remaining survivors.
After a pleasant exchange with the first two Grandmaster, they all readily confessed when it came to the third one.
However, they also did not know the exact strength of the strongest Dubhe Island.
However, one of the four of them definitely knew, so they all looked at the last person.
Jiang Liu then realized that the last of the four people he had captured was actually Shentu Jue, the island lord of Yu Heng Island.
Jiang Liu looked at the dejected Shentu Jue and asked, "Island Lord Shen Tu, could you please tell me about the strength of your Seven Stars Island?"
Shentu Jue seemed not to have heard Jiang Liu's question at all, and simply lay on his back on the deck, staring blankly at the sky.
He's probably still regretting his impulsive decision, which is why he's ended up like this.
Jiang Liu said with a smile, "Island Lord Shentu, if you don't want to watch yourself being torn apart by sea beasts, you'd better confess honestly!"
"Or, don't you want to get revenge on Dubhe Island? Who told them not to send Peak Grandmaster along? That's why you ended up like this." Jiang Liu continued to tempt you.
Jiang Liu had already learned from the three people in front of him that Tian Shu Island, the strongest Dubhe Island in the world, had not sent anyone to participate in Blood Demon Island's operation against the Great Qian Continent.
The implications of this made Jiang Liu feel rather intrigued.
Jiang Liu's last words seemed to slightly move Shen Tu, who had remained unmoved until now.
Shentu Jue sighed, sat up, and said to Jiang Liu, "If you can guarantee that you will spare my Tu Family when we enter Yu Heng Island, I will tell you everything, how about it?"
"Aren't you taking yourself too seriously? Do you think I still care how strong Seven Stars Island is? I bet you don't even know how strong Dubhe Island is!"
"Moreover, after this incident, the strength of your Five Islands has been greatly reduced. The remaining people probably won't dare to come to Daqian again!"
"I'm just giving you a chance to vent your anger. If you don't cherish it, then there's nothing more to say. Go feed the sea monsters!"
After saying that, Jiang Liu grabbed Shentu Jue and pretended to throw him into the sea.
Shentu Jue immediately panicked. His calm and composed demeanor, as if he had seen through life and death, vanished in an instant.
He quickly said, "Sir, please put me down quickly. I'll tell you everything I know, okay?"
He knew perfectly well how ferocious the sea beasts in this area were. He had only wanted to negotiate with Jiang Liu earlier, but who knew that Jiang Liu wouldn't fall for it at all.
Moreover, the vicious man in front of them was truly a man of his word; he had already thrown two people down into the water, but luckily they were pulled back up quickly.
The last person didn't even need Jiang Liu to scare him; he had already confessed everything on his own initiative.
Now, left with no other choice, he had to compromise. As for the others on Yu Heng Island, they could only fend for themselves.
After all, he's a cripple now and can't do anything else. He should think about how to spend the rest of his life.
Jiang Liu pulled back the hand that was holding Shentu Jue and sticking it out of the deck, threw Shentu Jue onto the deck, and looked at him with a smile.
Shentu Jue a moment before speaking, "Actually, I'm not entirely sure how many Peak Grandmaster there are on Dubhe Island, but I guess there are at least three."
"Because, at the beginning, Baili Hong was going to invite the two Old Ancestor to go to Daqian with us, but later, for some reason, he suddenly said he wouldn't go."
"However, the residents of our island are all in high spirits and unanimously demand to go to war, so we went together."
"The island lords of the other islands are all dead. Even if I go back now, I will only end up being executed."
"Please, sir, if you see any small island along the way, could you let us stay there and spend the rest of our lives on it?"
After saying this, Shentu Jue knelt down before Jiang Liu with a miserable expression.
The other three immediately knelt on the deck and pleaded with Jiang Liu.
After the confessions of the previous people, Jiang Liu now has a complete understanding of what exactly happened between these islands.
Piao Han's explanation was not clear enough before, simply because his strength was too low.
To put it bluntly, Seven Stars Island is led by Dubhe Island, and Dubhe Island controls them.
However, Tian Dubhe Island doesn't usually interfere with them, allowing them to cultivate and live freely on the island.
As long as they pay the required tribute according to regulations, and when they go out hunting, they need to pay an additional share, they are completely free to do whatever they want.
However, Dubhe Island has a clear rule that, except for hunting trips, people from the other six islands are not allowed to go out unless absolutely necessary.
When Jiang Liu heard this rule, he was also stunned for a moment. What kind of bizarre rule was this?
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he had seen even more bizarre rules before.
After hearing Shentu Jue's confession, Jiang Liu ignored them.
They were simply detained, and the plan was to find any small island and send them there at their request.
After all, this was the first time these people had invaded the Great Qian Dynasty, and now they were crippled. Let them fend for themselves!
As sunset approached, Jiang Liu's large ship finally arrived at the Seven Stars Island defensive outpost, as described by the people of Blood Demon Island.
Jiang Liu leaped off the large ship, looking at the messy beach and dock.
He knew in his heart that there was probably no one left on the island.
Jiang Liu decided to spend the night here and continue his journey tomorrow. He would rest and recuperate tonight to prepare for any battles that might come.
He wanted to see how the people of Tian Dubhe Island would react to his arrival.
Ming Chengyun had already arranged for people to moor the large ship, then assigned people to guard it, and checked the surrounding area again before finally going ashore.
Jiang Liu observed that the buildings here were fairly complete, but their style was quite similar to the outpost communication island he had encountered before. He wondered if there was a temple here.
Along the way, Jiang Liu asked the people from Blood Demon Island for detailed information.
Only then did I realize that wherever their people arrived, the first thing they did was to build a temple there.
They would then worship day and night, and even when they left, they would take the statue with them.
Only in places where people have lived for a long time will huge statues of gods be sculpted and brought out for worship.
They usually carry a small statue with them, or a small statue that can be easily moved on a ship.
However, Shentu Jue also had a question in his mind: he felt that he didn't seem to get much cultivation energy from the statue.
I wonder where all that vital energy stored inside that statue went?
