"After I went back and thought about it, I realized that the reason Huayong Island is causing disputes is actually not related to its resources, but mainly because of its geographical location," the Third Prince analyzed. "The island happens to be at the border of the territorial waters of the two countries and is a maritime hub. Ships conducting maritime trade pass through Huayong Island, and just collecting passage taxes each year amounts to a huge sum."
"Moreover, the special geographical position of the island also makes it a tool for each side to control the other. Whichever country owns Huayong Island gains an advantage at sea."
The conflict over the ownership of Huayong Island can be traced back to the last supernatural war between the Immortal and Demonic Dynasties.
