October 28.
Three Heroes Island, Yunsha Market.
Hundreds of ships crowded the docks, and people streamed back and forth in a bustling scene!
After entering the market, they came to Linghua Island's shop. It had changed a little since last year. A signboard now hung outside, bearing the two large characters for "Linghua." Inside, the shop was clean and tidy, stocked with talisman paper, talisman ink, miscellaneous cultivation supplies, and some Spirit Bee Honey!
Xu Changwang was not in the shop. His Dao companion was minding it. Zhao Yi and Wang Qing entered and began looking around carefully.
"What would you like, fellow Daoists?"
The woman asked with a broad smile.
"Where's Xu Changwang? Where did he go? Tell him to see me in the rear courtyard when he returns!"
Wang Qing spoke.
"And you are?"
Wang Qing was about to answer when footsteps sounded outside. Zhao Yi looked over. The newcomer was none other than Xu Changwang.
"My dear, the island..."
Just as he was about to continue, Xu Changwang noticed the people beside him. He turned toward the two men, recognized them, and hurriedly bowed. "Xu Changwang pays his respects to the island lord and Senior Wang!"
Hearing this, the woman behind him followed Xu Changwang in bowing.
"Mm. Are the rooms ready? Brew a pot of tea and come to the rear courtyard. We have questions for you!"
"The rooms are ready. Please go ahead, Seniors!"
The two left the shop and entered the reception room in the rear courtyard.
Before long, Xu Changwang hurried over. Upon entering the reception room, he first served them tea.
After taking a small sip, Zhao Yi set down his cup.
"How many of the islands have arrived? Has word spread about the Zhao Family making peace with the Blood Cloud
