If you can stand high enough, you can see the entire Fallen Star Ocean.

The vast Fallen Star Ocean, to the west is a large piece of land occupied by the Tianxiu forces, and the boundless Fallen Star Ocean is located on the east side of the land.

According to the distance from the land, the numerous islands in the Fallen Star Ocean are divided into island circles. The large sea area on the west side of each island circle is called the outer ocean, and the sea area on the east side is called the inner ocean.

The closer to the mainland, the thinner the spiritual essence of heaven and earth in the islands within the island circle becomes; the closer to the depths of the Fallen Star Ocean, the richer the spiritual essence of heaven and earth in the islands within the island circle becomes, the larger the spiritual crystal veins hidden underground become, the higher the yield and the better the quality of various spiritual medicines and herbs become, and the larger and more advanced the deep-sea monsters hidden in the sea become.

In the second island circle of the Fallen Star Ocean, the concentration of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth on any island is more than twice that of the islands in the first island circle.

Qingye Island is located in the southeast of the second island circle. Within a radius of 30,000 miles, Qingye Island is the only inhabited island. It is also the island with the richest spiritual essence of heaven and earth, the richest resources, and the best environment for cultivation.

Looking down from the sky, the emerald green Aoba Island looks like a leaf carved from green jade, lying quietly in the endless waves. This is also the origin of the name Aoba Island.

It is more than 10,000 miles long from south to north and more than 3,000 miles wide from east to west. The permanent population of Qingye Island is nearly 300 million. The Du family of Qingye Island is the most powerful spiritual family on Qingye Island. The successive patriarchs of Qingye Island are also the masters of Qingye Island.

Directly east of Aoba Island, on a small peninsula extending more than a hundred miles inland, palaces and pavilions are scattered around in the shade of green trees. Some are grand and majestic, while others are exquisite and elegant. Every brick and tile, every building and beam are ingeniously designed. The mottled traces of moss at the base of the wall further highlight the ancient heritage of this mansion.

This is the residence of the Du family of Aoba Island. There are nearly 20,000 people in the family, together with hundreds of thousands of family guards, servants, etc., all living in this pavilion with a beautiful scenery.

The storm season has passed, and the Fallen Star Ocean has returned to peace.

In the middle of a snow-white cliff, a rugged plank road leads to an exquisite pavilion. The pavilion, like a flying bird spreading its wings, hangs halfway out of the high cliff, as if it is wrapped in the entire sea and sky.

Two handsome middle-aged men in long robes and tall hats sat in the pavilion, listening with anger to the report of a man in black outside the pavilion.

"As above, this is the information I have gathered these days. The pirate giant of the first island circle, the One-horned Dragon King Shafei, has specially gathered countless fugitives for the young master's marriage. They have infiltrated the second island circle one after another in recent days."

"Within a thousand miles of Qingye Island, many islands, reefs, fishing grounds, hunting grounds, and medicine grounds have seen a large number of sneaky people of unknown origin appear in the past few days. The various properties of my Du family are well-defended and have not been invaded yet, but the clam farm where the Zuo family raises cold water pearls, the forest farm where the Lin family cultivates sea ​​lantern wood, and the ranch where the Zhao family raises seahorse beasts have all been attacked in the past few days."

"The Zuo family's mussel farm was robbed of three hundred buckets of top-quality cold water pearls, resulting in a loss of around ten million spirit crystals."

"Eight hundred adult seahorses were killed at the Zhao family's ranch. This loss is worth nearly 10 million spirit crystals."

"The worst is the Lin family's island. It's not easy to cut down Hailan wood. If you don't know how to process it, it's worthless. Someone simply set it on fire and burned down the Qianli Forest. Not to mention the actual loss of spiritual crystals, there are two thousand-year-old forests there, which the Lin family spent a thousand years of hard work to maintain until now."

A man in a tall hat snorted coldly: "The heart of a thousand-year-old Hailan wood is a top-quality material for making wood-attributed spiritual treasures. The value of a thousand-year-old Hailan wood alone is around a million spiritual crystals. Two thousand-year-old forests were burned down..."

The two middle-aged men looked at each other and laughed a few times with complicated emotions.

How to say it?

As the most powerful Du family and the chief elder of Qingye Island, they are very happy to see other spiritual families in Qingye Island suffer losses. Only when these families are constantly weakened can their Du family continue to be strong and prosperous for a long time, and control the right to speak in Qingye Island for a long time!

The Lin family’s two thousand-year-old forests were burned down?

Well cooked!

Millennium Hailan wood, the best wood-attributed spiritual treasure material, how much profit can these two millennium forests bring to the Lin family? How many connections and favors can they bring to them? It's better to burn it. The Lin family's thousand years of hard work will be destroyed, and it will take at least hundreds of years to recover!

But the Du family is the master of Qingye Island after all. The spiritual families on Qingye Island have suffered losses. If the Du family cannot speak up for the major families on Qingye Island, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the reputation of the Du family.

Sometimes, a good reputation is more important than real strength!

What is even more frustrating is that those desperate criminals who came to Qingye Island this time were all here because of the marriage between the Du family of Qingye Island and the Leng family of Huangyun Island.

The young master of the Du family was traveling abroad and provoked an enemy with an extremely powerful background. The enemy clearly wanted to retaliate against you and even issued a vile and shameless killing order against the young master of the Du family!

"Think about it, what are those families thinking now?" A man in a tall hat smiled slightly, took out a green jade ring from his sleeve and played with it gently.

"Are you waiting for us to express our opinions?" Another tall-capped man sighed softly, "What does the Patriarch think we should do? Should he take all the responsibility on us?"

Du Han, the head of the Du family, shook his head and said, "No, if we admit that these people came for Le'er, it would be difficult to absolve ourselves of responsibility. Could it be that we, the Du family, should be asked to compensate them for their losses?"

Du Wen, the chief elder of the Du family who is in charge of the family's internal affairs and Du Han's brother, frowned and said, "Then, what should we say?"

Du Han smiled calmly, put the jade ring on his finger and turned it a few times vigorously: "Those desperate people came to Qingye Island because they coveted the wealth of Qingye Island. They are the archenemies of Qingye Island. The responsibility does not lie with any individual in any family, but with the entire Qingye Island."

"Send a letter to the heads of each family, saying that a storm is coming, and that we should work together to wipe out these evil-doers in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble forever. Everyone should unite and protect themselves. If anyone only cares about preserving their strength and shrinks in the face of battle, don't blame the families of Aoba Island for joining forces to attack them."

Du Wen laughed when he heard this: "I'm afraid they are not willing to do this. After all, they may have known that it was Le'er who caused the trouble!"

Du Han sneered disapprovingly: "Even if they are unwilling, what can they do? Now they are the ones who are suffering losses, but it has nothing to do with my Du family. If they want to preserve their family business, then they should put forth enough manpower and material resources to form a coalition to deal with those desperate people... Do they have any choice?"

Du Wen nodded silently, but Du Han shook the jade ring on his hand again: "However, we in the Du family cannot be careless. So, you prepare some valuable gifts and invite those people to come, so that we can be prepared for any eventuality in secret."

Du Han smiled softly: "After all, this is Le'er's big happy event, we can't let anyone ruin it!"
