So-called allies could be maintained by no more than two means: emotional bonds and entanglements of interest.
Three Realms Island and the Merfolk Race had both, so their alliance was naturally unbreakable.
Of course, whether it was emotional bonds or shared interests, Lu Ye was at the heart of it all.
Although Three Realms Island's own foundation had not changed much for the time being, with the Merfolk Race as such a steadfast ally, its power to protect itself was no longer something Peerless Island of old could compare to.
If enemies truly came calling, Three Realms Island could casually field five Moon Jade Realm Late Stage cultivators. As for Star Constellations, the five hundred from Three Realms plus nearly two hundred from the Merfolk Race made a force of seven hundred. Defending a Spirit Island would not be difficult.
That was also why Lu Ye could leave without worry.
What happened to Peerless Island only needed to happen once. He could not painstakingly build up a foundation, spread its name far and wide, only to have others come and seize the nest like magpies taking over a nest.
"If that is the case, then there is no problem." Luan Xiao'e nodded. Since Lu Ye said the Merfolk Race was Three Realms Island's staunchest ally, she had no need to worry further.
Lu Ye took out an object and said, "Senior Sister, keep this safe. It is the key to opening a passage to the Merfolk Race's territory."
Since he was leaving Three Realms Island, he naturally could not take the Azure Conch with him. If they needed to borrow troops from the Merfolk Race later, they could only use the Azure Conch to open the gateway, so it had to be left behind.
