Lu Ye asked further about what had happened on Peerless Island. Hua Qianying had been running her shop there all this time, so she should have known something about the Heavenly Flame Merchant Association's assault on Peerless Island.
According to Hua Qianying, the Heavenly Flame Merchant Association had attacked Peerless Island three months ago. Before that, rumors had already been spreading across the island, but she was ultimately an outsider and could not tell whether those whispers were true or false.
Then, one day three months ago, the Heavenly Flame Merchant Association suddenly launched a massive attack. Peerless Island naturally resisted with all its strength, but the gap in power between them was simply too great. In the end, they were defeated, the Protective Spirit Array was broken, and Peerless Island changed hands.
"Rest assured, Senior Brother Li. The Island Master is fine. He was not injured in the slightest from beginning to end, and not a single person on the island died. At worst, some were wounded. However, Old Tang's injuries seem quite serious." Hua Qianying comforted Lu Ye.
Peerless Island only had Tang Jun as its sole Moon Jade Realm cultivator, and this place was the foundation upon which Three Realms cultivators had established themselves in the Myriad Phenomena Sea. Thus, even knowing he was outmatched, Tang Jun had fought desperately in that battle. Because of Nine Radiance, the Heavenly Flame Merchant Association would not do anything to Chu Shen, but they would not show mercy to an outsider like Tang Jun, a Moon Jade Realm cultivator with no backing. Had Chu Shen not spoken up to stop them at the crucial moment, Tang Jun would likely have been killed on the spot!
"Do you know where they went afterward?" Lu Ye asked.
Hua Qianying shook her head.
