Chapter 1079: Discussion, Zheng Family's Conditions (Long Chapter)
Luoyun Sea Area.
Xuliu Ring Island.
Above the azure sea area.
A number of mysterious islands of varying sizes and with overwhelming spiritual energy are located on the vast sea surface.
All the islands are vaguely surrounded by a ring, encircling the deep blue sea area in the central area.
This place is the Xuliu Ring Island, which is well-known in Luoyun Sea Area. It is the headquarters of Xuhai Palace, one of the two top forces in Luoyun Sea Area.
Among them, Xuhai Palace is located in the central sea area of the ring island.
Because of Xuhai Palace, the surrounding ring islands are extremely prosperous. It is a place where transactions are prevalent in Luoyun Sea Area.
On this day, on the surrounding islands, a large number of figures stopped in place and looked up at the sky.
One after another, figures passed through the air from time to time, and the huge pressure of the Nascent Soul made everyone tremble.
The Nascent Soul True Lord, who was rarely seen in the past, has appeared frequently in recent days.
Even if most cultivators don’t know what happened, they know that something big is about to happen in the Xuhai Palace.
In the midst of countless gazes looking up.
A black spirit boat flashed by.
In the spirit boat, Li Qing and Lv Ziming looked at the depths of the island at the same time.
From afar, huge blue palaces floated above the sea, and the densely packed palaces almost formed another small world.
Under the effect of the formation, a thick layer of blue crystals formed on the surface of the sea.
Unlike other sects, the Xuhai Palace has no real island. It can be said that the entire station is supported by a formation.
"According to rumors, the Xuhai Palace's sect protection formation is based on the surrounding 27 large islands and 106 small islands. It seems to be well-deserved."
Looking at the special scene in front, Li Qing exclaimed.
"Yes, the Xuhai Palace has been passed down for ten thousand years. The foundation of the surrounding formation alone is so strong that it can withstand the offensive of the late Nascent Soul powerhouse."
Lv Ziming sighed.
Ten thousand years of inheritance, this has a special meaning in the world of cultivation, representing the foundation of the Xuhai Palace.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Lu Ziming smiled and said, "I'm afraid that our sect's future means of protecting the sect will not be inferior to this formation."
Li Qing smiled and nodded.
The Water Witch Tribe is indeed the last trump card to protect the Qianshui Yuling Sect.
Once Guan Ming obtains the inheritance of the Yuding Tribe, he can mobilize the hidden power within the Water Witch Tribe through the inheritance tower, which is also enough to compete with the late-stage Yuanying power.
A moment later, the two of them appeared on the periphery of the area composed of countless large-scale blue palaces.
As the spirit boat disappeared, Li Qing and the other two appeared at the same time.
At this moment, a familiar figure flew out of the Xuhai Palace.
"Haha, welcome Qingxuan Daoyou to our Xuhai Palace."
Fu Yun Zhenjun took the initiative to step forward with a smile on his face and said.
"Hello, Fu Yun Daoyou"
Li Qing smiled and nodded.
"Speaking of which, this should be the first time that Qingxuan Daoyou has come to our Xuhai Palace as a guest," Fu Yun Zhenjun smiled.
"Haha, I've longed for it, but was delayed by some trivial matters. This time I'm taking the opportunity to come and visit your sect in person."
"Haha, there's no need to be polite between us. Elder Yun Gu has been waiting in the hall for a long time. Please follow me."
Just as the two followed Master Fu Yun to the Xuhai Palace.
Countless eyes fell on Li Qing's figure.
Those people were the disciples of Xuhai Palace.
"Is that Master Qingxuan, who is famous in Luoyun Sea?"
"It must be him, otherwise why would Elder Fu Yun come here in person to pick him up?"
"I've also heard Master mention this Master Qingxuan. It is said that he is the first person under the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. His strength is terrifying and his methods are unfathomable."
"Yes, more importantly, this person is only at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Such people are the goals we pursue. Even in the Nascent Soul realm, they can still have terrifying combat power beyond the level."
Waves of discussion spread among many disciples of Xuhai Palace.
Even the name of Qingxuan Zhenjun is more popular in their hearts than those terrifying strong men at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. After all, in comparison, the deeds of Qingxuan Zhenjun are more representative.
He is a man of outstanding talent. When the sect was in danger, he returned to the sect with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul, and finally led the sect to expel the powerful enemy.
Such inspiring deeds are simply the scenes imagined by countless talented cultivators.
Inside the Xuhai Palace.
A huge palace floated in the air.
The next moment, three figures fell from the hall.
After entering the hall, Li Qing found that this event was far more lively than he had imagined.
Looking around, the figures of the Nascent Soul Zhenjun sat in the hall.
Some of them were familiar faces to Li Qing.
They were all people who went to Qianshui Yuling Sect to participate in the grand ceremony that year.
As far as the eye can see, all the Nascent Soul forces of the Xuhai Palace camp have gathered.
At the front of the hall was the great elder Yun Gu of Xuhai Hall whom Li Qing had met twice. On both sides of his jade table, there were three figures with even more majestic auras.
Those three people were also at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
One of the old men in gray-black armor was the strongest of the Tianjia Sect - Ancestor Jia Luo. The other tall man in a khaki Taoist robe was the master of the Jinsha Cave - Sha Ming.
In addition, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman in a white palace dress, and there was a bit of bone-chilling coldness around her.
A strange color flashed in Li Qing's eyes.
This beautiful woman of ice should be the person of the famous Bingji Palace in Luoyun Sea.
Bingji Palace is a force with a special reputation in Luoyun Sea. All its disciples have ice spiritual roots, and they are all female disciples.
Although there are not many monks in Bingji Palace, its strength is extremely strong.
Bingji Palace has two female True Lords at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and four female True Lords of the Nascent Soul.
The proportion of its strong people is very exaggerated.
In the camp of Xuhai Palace, Bingji Palace is undoubtedly the strongest force besides Xuhai Palace.
However, this sect has always been relatively closed and rarely interacts with other forces.
Even the three factions alliance in the camp of Xuhai Palace has no connection with it.
"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan actually came in person"
After seeing Li Qing appear, the surrounding Yuanying True Lords smiled and bowed.
"Hello, fellow Daoists."
A person's name is like a tree's shadow.
In an instant, Li Qing once again became the focus of the hall.
Seeing this scene, Lv Ziming smiled on the side.
Looking at the entire Luoyun Sea, apart from this senior brother, which other Nascent Soul cultivator with the cultivation base of the early Nascent Soul stage has such power.
At this moment, the elder of Yungu in front of the hall also stood up with a smile.
"It is a great honor for our Xuhai Hall that Daoyou Qing can come this time. It is not easy to invite Daoyou Qing to come."
Facing the teasing words of the elder Yungu, Li Qing could only smile and shake his head.
"This is also the first time I have met Daoyou Qingxuan. It is indeed well-deserved."
The True Lord Sha Ming of Jinsha Cave smiled and bowed.
"Haha, in terms of reputation, Daoyou Qingxuan is even better than us. Not only in our Luoyun Sea, but also in the cultivation world of several other seas, Daoyou Qingxuan's reputation is also circulated."
Tianjia Sect Jialuo Patriarch said with a smile.
Although he is at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, facing the legendary True Lord Qingxuan, he also needs to treat him as an equal.
As Nascent Soul cultivators, they naturally understood what a 200-year-old Nascent Soul peak cultivator meant.
Moreover, the current strength of this Qingxuan Zhenjun was already close to that of a strong man at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Once he entered the middle Nascent Soul stage, his strength would be even more terrifying.
In terms of potential alone, no one in the hall could match him.
"You are too polite, fellow Daoist. That is just a false name. I am just at the early Nascent Soul stage."
Li Qing smiled and returned the greetings one by one.
Because all the forces in the hall belonged to the Xuhai Palace camp, they shared common interests and were naturally harmonious with each other.
In fact, in addition to the Bingji Palace, forces including the Jinsha Cave and the Tianjia Sect have now had dealings with the Qianshui Yuling Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Qing, I don't need to introduce these two to you. As for this one, it's Fellow Daoist Hanyue from Bingji Palace."
After Elder Yungu said this, Li Qing smiled and bowed to the beautiful woman: "Hello, Fellow Daoist Hanyue."
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan."
The beautiful woman returned the greeting calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please take a seat. Now all the fellow Daoists are here."
Elder Yungu pointed to an empty jade table in front.
The positions of the people were naturally arranged according to the strength of the major Yuanying forces.
In addition to Elder Yungu, who was in the first place, the four jade tables below were obviously more noble.
The other three jade tables were Jinsha Cave, Tianjia Sect and Bingji Palace, which had peak mid-stage Yuanying masters sitting in front.
In the hall, some Yuanying Zhenjuns had a strange look in their eyes at the same time.
The attitude of Xuhai Palace is self-evident.
This is to regard the three-faction alliance represented by Zhenjun Qingxuan as equal to the other three powerful Yuanying forces.
Of course, none of them were dissatisfied.
In terms of surface strength alone, the three faction alliance that monopolized the Lingze area now has five Yuanying Zhenjuns in charge, in addition to two fourth-level demon kings and a Yuanying Zhenjun who has recently joined the Qianshui Yuling Sect.
The combat power of eight Yuanying-level warriors is only lower than that of the Xuhai Palace among all the Yuanying forces in the hall.
Not to mention the unlimited potential of Qingxuan Zhenjun.
"Alright"
Li Qing smiled faintly, and then took Lv Ziming to the jade table.
With his current strength, he doesn't care much about being noticed.
After seeing everyone take their seats, the great elder Yun Gu finally spoke.
"Fellow Daoists, you have taken the trouble to come to our Xuhai Palace. On behalf of Xuhai Palace, I would like to express my gratitude."
"I invited you all to come here to discuss an important matter."
The elder Yun Gu smiled and continued, "I guess you have heard that the Bianyu Sea is now deeply troubled by the beast tide, and the newly appeared Golden Demon Country is coming fiercely."
"Although the Bianyu Sea is far away from our forces, our Xuhai Palace is unwilling to sit and watch the Bianyu Sea Xiuxian world suffer a heavy blow. In addition, the Zheng family of the Bianyu Sea has actually reached a cooperative alliance with our Xuhai Palace in secret. In this case, we must not sit idly by."
The expressions of the people in the hall were different.
Especially when the elder Yun Gu said that he had reached an alliance with the Zheng family, everyone couldn't help but think of the current situation in the Luoyun Sea.
Facing the aggressiveness of Yuanli Palace, Xuhai Palace chose to form an alliance with the Zheng family. Such news can be said to have invisibly resolved the pressure in everyone's hearts.
As for going to support the Bianyu Sea, everyone also has different ideas in their hearts.
The strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom is also impressive, otherwise the Zheng family would not have asked for help.
Although going there can give you a chance to surround and kill the Demon King, it is also somewhat dangerous.
After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator has died in Bianyu Sea Area.
"I know what you are thinking. Although our Xuhai Palace has gone to support this time, our actions are not in vain," Great Elder Yun Gu said with a faint smile.
In essence, the Xuhaidian camp is a combination of interests, and Xuhaidian will not make choices that go against the interests of the Nascent Soul forces.
Just when everyone turned their attention to Great Elder Yun Gu.
But they saw Great Elder Yungu slowly getting up and arching his hands toward the back of the hall.
"Fellow Taoist Commander Zheng, I'd rather trouble you to show up in person and explain this matter clearly."
In an instant, a tall old man wearing a black robe with a cloud pattern and a majestic face slowly walked out from the back of the hall.
"I have met all of you fellow Taoists from Luoyunhai Region. I, Lord Zheng, am the eldest elder of the Zheng family."
After the eldest elder of the Zheng family appeared, he took the initiative and nodded towards Li Qing with a smile.
Li Qing also smiled and returned the salute.
The two had met before when Bian Yuhaiyu and his party were together, and even the information about the Golden Demon Kingdom was revealed to the Zheng family by Li Qing.
He also didn't expect that the eldest elder of the Zheng family would come in person.
"Fellow Taoists, I believe that you are already aware of what happened in the Bianyu Sea. To be honest, the attack of the Golden Demon Kingdom this time was so menacing that we, the Zheng family, did not expect it."
"This time, there are many demon kings scattered in the Bianyu sea area, killing wantonly. It is difficult for our Zheng family to organize the forces to surround and kill them all. We can only choose to ask for help."
Zheng Jun continued with a solemn expression: "However, because most of the demon kings are scattered, it is also a good opportunity for you to surround and kill the demon kings. In addition, our Zheng family will also show sufficient sincerity."
"All areas occupied by the monster army will be freely distributed by your own forces after the threat of the monster wave is resolved."
As soon as these words came out, all the Nascent Soul Lords in the hall looked shocked.
Even Li Qing couldn't help but be surprised by the Zheng family's generosity.
The defense line against the beast tide in Bianyu Sea Area has collapsed, and a large area of treasure land on the periphery of the Immortal Cultivation World is occupied by the Golden Demon Kingdom.
This is a very large sphere of influence.
For a time, many Nascent Soul Lords, who originally had their own thoughts, showed excited expressions.
Nowadays, due to the presence of Xuhai Palace and Yuanli Palace in the Luoyun Sea Territory, the internal territory division has long been stable, and it is very difficult for many Yuanying forces to expand.
The conditions of the Zheng family are undoubtedly a huge temptation for them.
Even though Bianyu Sea Area is far away from Luoyun Sea Area, everyone can arrange for sect disciples to go and operate it.
Looking at the reactions of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall, Li Qing couldn't help but nodded secretly.
The Zheng family's reaction was not decisive. They probably also discovered that the Jin Yao Kingdom was very powerful. For this reason, the Zheng family was even willing to cede their territory and bind it to the interests of a group of Nascent Soul forces.
Even if the Golden Demon Kingdom is successfully repelled in the future, the territory acquired by the Nascent Soul forces will be bordering the Golden Demon Kingdom.
As a result, if the Golden Demon Kingdom continues to launch offensives, these Nascent Soul forces occupying territory in the Bianyu Sea will have to continue to participate.
Although the Zheng family gave up some of their interests, what they got in exchange was that they could sit in the rear more safely.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. Since Zheng Daoyou and we have formed an alliance, we will definitely not sit idly by and ignore such matters."
In the main hall, a man in the middle stage of Nascent Soul took the initiative and said with a smile.
At the same time, several Nascent Soul cultivators once again expressed their attitude directly.
For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely warm.
The eldest elder of the Zheng family and the eldest elder Yungu were both smiling.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing felt calmer.
In fact, he could understand everyone's thoughts. There were all Nascent Soul Lords in the hall, so naturally some people saw the Zheng family's plan.
The reason why everyone agreed so simply was mainly due to Xuhaidian's attitude.
Since Xuhaidian is willing to die personally, they also need to act together as the Xuhaidian camp. Now that the Zheng family has promised greater benefits, everyone is naturally more tempted.
It's a pity that everyone underestimated the strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom, and Xuhai Palace, which everyone believed, also underestimated the strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom.
Although the Zheng family has remained somewhat awake, they would not have thought that the Golden Demon Kingdom would most likely possess a terrifying existence at the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Now it depends on the attitude of the Golden Demon Kingdom. Whether it will continue to maintain the current situation and bring the battle front into a stalemate, or whether it will be more resolute and decisive in dispatching the late fourth-level powerful demon king."
Li Qing secretly shook his head.
If the Golden Demon Kingdom really takes action with all its strength, even the Nascent Soul cultivators who are deep in the front line will be at great risk.
Unfortunately, he could not speak clearly about this matter.
He finally found out about this news because he escaped from the powerful master of the late fourth-level demon king. If he told the matter, he would naturally be unable to explain it.
All Lee Sin could do was watch this unpredictable battle unfold.
"What did the four fellow Taoists think about this?"
Great Elder Yun Gu slowly looked at Li Qing and the others.
After all, their four Nascent Soul forces are the most powerful.
"I don't have any objections. It's natural to go to support if it's emotional or reasonable."
Ancestor Jialuo laughed and nodded.
It was obvious that he was also moved by the Zheng family's promise.
Jinshadong Sha Ming on the side also smiled and nodded.
Before Li Qing could speak, the beautiful woman from Bingji Palace on the side said calmly: "Our Bingji Palace is not interested in the great elder's promise, but since the great elder has spoken, Bingji Palace will naturally arrange for a Yuan Yuan. Elder Ying is going”
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it all depends on your wishes."
Faced with Bingji Palace's attitude, the eldest elder of the Zheng family smiled slightly, but did not show any dissatisfaction.
He has naturally heard about Bingji Palace for a long time, and the other party's behavior is like this.
Every Bingji Palace monk is cold and arrogant, and doesn't like to talk much.
"Of course I have no objection."
Li Qing also smiled and nodded.
As a member of the Xuhaidian camp, the three faction alliance certainly cannot directly refuse to participate.
In addition, his plan is the same as that of Bingji Palace. He will only arrange for one Nascent Soul Lord to go there to show off.
"Okay, I would like to thank you all for your support on behalf of the Zheng family. We, the Zheng family, will definitely be rewarded in the future."
Seeing that this matter went unexpectedly smoothly, the eldest elder of the Zheng family couldn't help but look overjoyed.
After a while.
The atmosphere in the hall was full of jubilation, and everyone was toasting and greeting each other.
As the eldest elder of the Zheng family took the initiative to leave the hall, the rest of the Nascent Soul Masters also began to take the initiative to say goodbye. Everyone was filled with joy and prepared for the next battle.
According to the Zheng family's promise, naturally the stronger one enters the battlefield, the more territory they will occupy in the future.
Seeing that many Nascent Soul forces in the hall began to disperse, Li Qing slowly stood up.
"Fellow Daoist Qing is leaving too?"
Great Elder Yungu said with a smile.
"That's right. In addition, there is another matter that I need to discuss with the Great Elder," Li Qing said with a smile.
"Oh? Fellow Taoist Qingxuan, please tell me."
Great Elder Yungu looked surprised.
"It's mainly about supporting Bianyu Sea Area this time."
"The Great Elder also knows the situation of our Qianshui Yuling Sect. Senior Brother Jingshui is in an inconvenient situation now so he can take action. Junior Brother Lu has just been promoted and is still weak. Now I am the only one suitable. It's a pity that I have some understanding now and plan to retreat. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to leave the sect in a short time.”
Upon hearing this, Great Elder Yungu couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
However, he also knew that what the fellow Taoist Qing said was true. The fellow Taoist Jingshui was approaching the end of his lifespan, so naturally he would not take action easily, not to mention the newly joined guest elder Taishang.
"Now that the Lingze Domain is sufficient for the development of our alliance of the three factions, we have no other ideas, so I want to arrange for a Nascent Soul cultivator to follow us just like Taoist Brother Hanyue of Bingji Palace."
After Li Qing finished speaking, Great Elder Yungu nodded with a smile: "This matter is not forced, fellow Taoist Qing can arrange it on his own."
"Then I would also like to congratulate fellow Taoist Qing. This retreat may be one step closer to the middle stage of Nascent Soul."
Great Elder Yungu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This guy's talent is really terrifying, and he actually has some understanding.
"I have just entered the peak state of the early stage of Yuanying. I am afraid it will be difficult to make new breakthroughs in a short period of time."
After some pleasantries, Li Qing took Lu Ziming to say goodbye and left.
After leaving Xuhai Palace.
Lu Ziming couldn't help but ask: "Did senior brother discover something?"
In fact, he couldn't help but be tempted before.
Lu Ziming's practice of puppetry just needs to collect the body of the fourth-level demon king and sacrifice the fourth-level spirit puppet, not to mention the opportunity to acquire more territory.
On top of the black spirit boat, Li Qing looked calm.
"The Golden Demon Kingdom is not simple. According to my speculation, the Golden Demon Kingdom is far beyond what the Zheng family can contend with. This operation may be dangerous."
Lu Ziming's eyes moved slightly: "Senior brother, what you mean is that even if Xuhai Palace and the Zheng family join forces, it will be difficult to defeat the Golden Demon Kingdom?"
Li Qing nodded slightly.
In fact, he also knew that there were many opportunities in that battlefield, and even those fourth-level demon kings were very attractive to Li Qing.
However, he doesn't want to really get involved yet.
Unless he waits until the situation becomes clear, or until his cultivation reaches the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
After he is promoted, with his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and the Kunpeng secret technique, he will be safe enough as long as he does not encounter terrifying existences at the level of a great monk.
Even when faced with the mighty Demon King in the late fourth level, he could retreat calmly.
What's more, there are still things to do with the Water Witch Tribe.
"Senior brother, what are your plans for the follow-up arrangements?" Lu Ziming said seriously.
"At that time, our three factions can take turns arranging for Nascent Soul cultivators to follow us. Even if it is just a show, the alliance of the three factions must at least show their attitude."
"We don't need to fight for illusory territory, nor do we need to go deep into the front battlefield to risk siege and kill the demon king. We only need to stay in the rear, so that we can evacuate safely if we encounter danger."
-
Qianshui Yuling Sect.
After Li Qing returned, Yuan Beast Ancestor and Fire Rock Ancestor also rushed to Qianshui Yuling Sect at the same time.
In a meeting hall.
Li Qing sat in the first place and told what happened in Xuhai Palace this time.
"This is a good opportunity"
The ancestor of Yuan Beast's eyes lit up.
"With the addition of Xuhai Palace, it will be difficult for the Golden Demon Kingdom to resist. We can also take advantage of the opportunity to surround and kill the fourth-level demon king."
Even the Huoyan Ancestor on the side was very excited.
"I have declined this matter"
Li Qing said calmly.
Seeing the puzzled looks of the Yuan Beast Ancestors, Li Qing spoke again: "According to my guess, the Golden Demon Kingdom is quite powerful. Even if the Xuhai Palace and the Zheng Family join forces, it will be difficult to win."
Ancestor Yuan Beast and Ancestor Huoyan looked at each other.
A golden demon kingdom that suddenly appeared was even more terrifying than the Xuhai Palace and the Zheng family.
This kind of news is hard for even the two of them to believe.
However, they did not say any more. With the methods of this fellow Qing Daoist, it was obviously impossible to make an rash judgment.
"How do you plan to arrange it, fellow Taoist Qing?"
The ancestor of Nascent Soul said cautiously.
"Just keep going, but you're just following, sitting in the rear, and you can leave calmly if you encounter danger."
"Okay, the two of us will follow the arrangements of fellow Taoist Qing."
The Yuan Beast Ancestor nodded.
Anyway, I won’t be taking any disciples with me on this trip, it’s more convenient to be alone.
Knowing that Li Qing needed to retreat, Yuan Beast Ancestor took the initiative to ask for help and was the first to go to the Bianyu Sea Area.
After all, the remaining Lu Ziming and Patriarch Huoyan are both in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and his cultivation level is higher.
In the Luoyun sea area, there was a sudden turmoil.
An operation of such a huge scale cannot be concealed.
Moreover, Xuhaidian did not deliberately conceal it, but directly disclosed its alliance with the Zheng family.
All Yuanying forces know that this is a demonstration by Xuhai Palace. Even if Yuanli Palace once again emerges a late Yuanying master in the future, Xuhai Palace will also have foreign support.
In the Xuhai Palace camp, the mighty army of monks began to march towards the Bianyu Sea Area.
