Xu Fang looked at Yingzhou Island, which had appeared in the image, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He had been vigilant day and night, and Dong Wang Gong had also patted his chest and guaranteed that he would not covet Penglai Immortal Island again.
As a result, Penglai Immortal Island was now migrating without its usual rules. It was one thing for Yingzhou Island to fall behind, but it had to land right in front of Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu.
At this moment, Xu Fang truly wanted to curse loudly, not to learn from Liang Tian Chi and accuse Dong Wang Gong of stealing his home while he was away, but to curse the relentless entanglement of fate and destiny.
As the designated location for Dong Wang Gong's Zi Zhou Prefecture, Yingzhou Island had a deep connection with Dong Wang Gong.
However, even Dong Wang Gong, the person involved, had given up his covetous desire for Penglai Immortal Island, yet fate insisted on forcing it upon him. This was truly an extreme case of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The voice of Liang Tian Chi soon echoed in Xu Fang's mind.
"Little Xu, something big has happened! Yingzhou Island has been abducted by Dong Wang Gong!"
Liang Tian Chi immediately informed Xu Fang about the migration of Penglai Immortal Island, omitting any mention of the chat group and simply stating that he had reliable intelligence.
Liang Tian Chi had once casually mentioned the chat group, and although Xu Fang had forgotten about it, he understood what was implied when Liang Tian Chi spoke this way.
Xu Fang naturally understood; he had seen everything and was perfectly clear about the situation.
Liang Tian Chi could not bear to see his birthplace become someone else's dojo. After explaining the situation to Xu Fang, he urged him on.
"Little Xu, don't just stand there! Hurry up and get home! The Three Islands of Penglai are our birthplace, and not one of them can be lost!"
Although Xu Fang had not refined Penglai Immortal Island into his dojo, everyone had implicitly acknowledged it as his dojo all along. Liang Tian Chi's urgency now was to hope that Xu Fang would act quickly and assert his ownership of Yingzhou Island before Dong Wang Gong could.
Of course, there was not much to assert to Dong Wang Gong, but it was primarily to Xi Wang Mu, as Dong Wang Gong was well aware of the situation within.
However, upon hearing this, Xu Fang did not accelerate. Instead, he slumped down completely.
"What's the rush? According to you, both Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu have discovered Yingzhou Island. With this distance, how can we possibly catch up?"
Xu Fang replied weakly. There was still a long way to the East Sea, and even if he were a saint, he could not return to Yingzhou Island so quickly.
Liang Tian Chi understood immediately and could not help but wail.
"Damn it! Must our sacred land of Yingzhou truly be defiled by that idiot Dong Wang Gong?"
"No! The Three Islands of Penglai should be complete; how can we lose Yingzhou Island!"
Liang Tian Chi lamented, lamenting how, just as they were about to return home, their home was gone. This was truly fate playing cruel tricks.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"Yes, Senior, you're acting a bit strange."
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue, seeing Xu Fang slump to the ground, were puzzled and asked.
They didn't know what was wrong with their senior. All the way here, he had been muttering to himself, occasionally smiling faintly or shaking his head, which made them confused. What kind of reaction was this to returning home?
Now, Xu Fang had completely slumped to the ground and refused to move, making them even more bewildered, unsure of what problem their senior was facing.
"It's nothing."
Xu Fang waved his hand feebly and said.
"I just need to rest for a bit."
Seeing Xu Fang like this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue did not think he was fine at all.
"You're acting like your home was stolen."
"Don't say that, perhaps Senior is just tired?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue exchanged words and then sat down to rest with Xu Fang.
Xu Fang heard their words and gave a bitter smile.
"My home has indeed been stolen!"
Xu Fang sighed inwardly. Weren't Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu just stealing his home?
In the group video, the various magical artifacts watched the scene before them and listened to the words of Liang Tian Chi and Huang Zhong Li, their hearts filled with shock. They finally reacted.
"No way? Is this really Penglai Immortal Island?"
"To be precise, this is Yingzhou Island, one of the Three Islands of Penglai. By the way, how did Dong Wang Gong get so lucky to find Yingzhou Island?"
"Never mind that. I'm wondering how my old tea tree will perform a handstand."
The magical artifacts chattered amongst themselves, recalling the grand pronouncements they had made earlier when mocking Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu, and they were filled with regret.
Who would have thought that Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu could actually find Penglai Immortal Island? Did they have to fulfill their boastful words?
Meanwhile, Xu Fang had also regained his senses and looked at the scene.
The great formation had collapsed, and Dong Wang Gong was still staring in disbelief, unable to comprehend the scene before him.
However, Xi Wang Mu was overjoyed, pulling Dong Wang Gong into Yingzhou Island.
"Yingzhou Island!"
Looking at the inscription on the giant monument, Xi Wang Mu was overjoyed. Yingzhou Island, wasn't this one of the Three Islands of Penglai?
Xi Wang Mu immediately turned around and shouted to Dong Wang Gong.
"See? Where there's a will, there's a way! We've finally found Penglai Immortal Island!"
"Hey, why do you look so unhappy?"
Xi Wang Mu looked at Dong Wang Gong, noticing that instead of any joy, he appeared dejected. She was greatly puzzled.
Even though they hadn't found all of Penglai Immortal Island, finding Yingzhou Island was still a great fortune. Why wasn't Dong Wang Gong happy at all?
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy!"
Dong Wang Gong forced an unsightly smile, sighing inwardly, wondering how he would explain this to Xu Fang.
He had planned everything perfectly: Xu Fang would have already refined Penglai Immortal Island, and he would accompany Xi Wang Mu in a brief search before calling it a day, a win-win situation.
Who would have thought that they would now be standing on Yingzhou Island? Wasn't this creating complications and causing trouble?
"Your smile looks more like a cry!"
Xi Wang Mu shook her head and said.
"Are you perhaps feeling disappointed because we haven't found all three islands of Penglai? Don't worry, we have Yingzhou Island, and through it, we can find the other two islands."
Xi Wang Mu tried to console him. How could a person full of ambition be satisfied with just one Yingzhou Island?
However, as she said, the Three Islands of Penglai were interconnected. Once Yingzhou Island was found, were they afraid of not finding the other two islands?
Therefore, she encouraged Dong Wang Gong to cheer up and not overthink it.
But upon hearing this, Dong Wang Gong's face changed drastically.
If one Yingzhou Island in his hands made him unsure how to face Xu Fang, what about the others?
He had promised not to covet Penglai Immortal Island, and yet here he was, standing on Yingzhou Island. Wasn't this going back on his word and stealing his home?
If he were to find the other two islands, was he trying to hasten his own demise and completely sever Xu Fang's path?
