The crab said to Ao Yu, "Fifth Prince, including the island lord, Spirit Island currently has fourteen Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivators and spirit pets. The rest are away from Spirit Island. Now that Spirit Island faces an unprecedentedly powerful assault, in order to bring out its full might, seven Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivators have already entered Spirit Island's control hub. Thus, only seven Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivators and spirit pets can actually stand against you."
Ao Yu said, "In that case, our side holds a slight advantage in strength."
Once they reached Spirit Island, cultivators and spirit pets below the Spirit Cultivation Stage would be of little use. When Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivators fought, wherever their transformation divine abilities reached, only a very small number of Dao Integration Stage cultivators or demons could withstand them, much less those at the Origin Core Stage. Therefore, once battle began, everyone at the Dao Integration Stage and below would stay well clear.
Still, Ao Yu could not help thinking of that giant whale demon, Jing Qiang. If it were still alive, their advantage would be even greater. Though she knew Jing Qiang had brought this upon itself by seeking death, she nevertheless felt that Yan Chihuo had been somewhat too ruthless.
Ao Li asked at this point, "What are the cultivation and strength of those Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivators and spirit pets?"
The crab replied, "Five cultivators and two spirit pets entered Spirit Island's control hub. Among them are three late Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivators and one spirit pet; the remaining two cultivators and spirit pet are all at the middle Spirit Cultivation Stage. One of them is called Zhou Hang. He is exceptionally powerful, and within Spirit Island, he is known as the number one Spirit Cultivation cultivator of the East Sea."
