When Lu Ping left the secret room, Jiang Tianlin, Tianqin, and Laozu, as well as the two Dharma adepts, Tianchang and Tianfeng, who were assisting Jiang Tianlin in defending Scarlet Mist Island, had also arrived. The two must have heard from Jiang Tianlin that the Fire Phoenix clan was about to invade Scarlet Mist Island.
Scarlet Mist Island had become an important place for Zhenling to collect training resources. Although Jiang Tianlin was a great adept, Tianchang and Tianfeng's help was not enough. Moreover, Scarlet Mist Island was a paradise for fire-based training techniques. It was a waste that there were no other fire-based Dharma adepts guarding Zhenling. Tianqin Laozu had obviously arrived because of Luan Yu.
Jiang Tianlin seemed to notice Lu Ping's confusion and explained, "Your Uncle-Master Tiancheng brought Tiantian to the central area of Scarlet Mist Island. They seem to be looking for an extremely rare spiritual material."
Lu Ping's eyes lit up. "Senior Chen Lian has successfully condensed his Dharma power? This is a joyous occasion! "
Tianqin Laozu smiled. "It's not just Chen Lian. In these three years, Zhong Jian and Ma Yu have both advanced to the Dharma stage. Our sect has gained three more Dharma adepts!"
Jiang Tianlin nodded. "I have already informed the ship. It has turned around and is rushing here from the southern sea. Zhong Jian and Ma Yu are also on the ship. They will arrive at Scarlet Mist Island in a few days."
Jiang Tianlin was the actual controller of Zhenling's ship. Although he was not on the ship, he could move the ship at any time.
Tianchang Laozu said, "With the ship, the Fire Phoenix clan will not dare to be too arrogant in front of our sect. If they join forces with the other sects in the North Sea, the Fire Phoenix clan may not be able to win!"
Tianfeng suddenly said, "Lian Heng!"
Tianchang Laozu was stunned. "Lian Heng? Who is Lian Heng? Which sect in the North Sea dares to go against the world? "
As soon as Tianchang Laozu finished speaking, a disciple came to report that there was news from the sect that a messenger from the Eastern Sea Fire Phoenix Race had come to Tianling Mountain, and the Sect Master was currently receiving him.
Tianchang Laozu was taken aback for a moment. Then, he muttered to himself, "If we join hands with the Fire Phoenix Clan, we might be able to divide the Scarlet Mist Island evenly!"
Jiang Tianlin looked at Tianchang Laozu and said, "Equally? Don't forget that our sect now occupies a quarter of the Scarlet Mist Island's periphery. If we divide it equally, will our sect and the Fire Phoenix Clan each take half of the Scarlet Mist Island, or will we divide the remaining three quarters equally? "
"Our sect will undoubtedly suffer a loss in the former, but do you think that the Fire Phoenix Clan would be willing to accept such a small amount of benefits after mobilizing such a large force?"
Tianchang Laozu smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm just saying."
Tian Qin continued, "The situation in the North Sea is delicate right now. If our sect takes the lead in inviting the wolf into the house, the other sects in the North Sea may fight to imitate us. At that time, not only will our sect be isolated by the other sects in the North Sea, but the situation in the North Sea will also deteriorate. Now that our sect's treasured ship is about to set sail for the Central Plains, the situation in the North Sea is still more stable. So, this time, I think it's better to join hands with the other sects in the North Sea to resist the Fire Phoenix Clan."
Tianchang Laozu said in a low voice, "Even so, our sect is currently very powerful. If we want to join hands, we will naturally be the leader. However, we must also be the vanguard in resisting the Fire Phoenix Clan. This is not good!"
At this time, Jiang Tianlin received news from Tianling Mountain again. He waved the jade slip in his hand and said with a smile, "The Sect Master has ordered us to act according to the situation on the Scarlet Mist Island!"
Tian Qin said coldly, "The Sect Master is really scheming!"
However, from Lu Ping's point of view, Tian Qin Laozu seemed more or less disappointed. It seemed that her Master's judgment was once again ahead of hers.
Lu Ping didn't care about this. When the Sect Master's decree arrived, he already knew about his Master's plan. Naturally, he supported his Master's plan and said with a smile, "This is great. As long as the treasured ship reaches the Scarlet Mist Island within our sect's sphere of influence before the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Fire Phoenix Clan will certainly not fight to the death with our sect. At that time, they will certainly use the other sects' sphere of influence as a breakthrough point. Our sect will sit and wait for the other sects to call for help. This way, we will have the upper hand."
At this time, Tianchang Laozu also understood the Sect Master's intention, but he still said, "In this way, our sect will have the upper hand against the other sects in the North Sea, but for the Fire Phoenix Clan, we will be in a passive position. When the Fire Phoenix Clan will attack, which sect's sphere of influence will be used as a breakthrough point, and what their real goal is, we have no idea!"
At this time, Lu Ping said, "Previously, Brother Luan said that the Fire Phoenix Clan is invading the North Sea on a large scale. In addition to the coveted fire-attribute cultivation resources on the Scarlet Mist Island, more importantly, they may be after a certain treasure. Now, the most important thing is to find out what the Fire Phoenix Clan is after, and how they know that this treasure is on the Scarlet Mist Island. In this way, at least in the upcoming battle, our sect will have the upper hand."
"That's right!"
Tianchang Laozu agreed. "Among all the practitioners in our sect, the one who is most familiar with the central area of the Scarlet Mist Island is probably Brother Tian Cheng. This time, Brother Tian Cheng has successfully advanced to the mid Dharma stage, and his Natural Mystical Power, the Inferno Sky Burning Formation, may be able to bring back more information from the central area."
Ancestor Jiang Tianlin said, "No matter what the Fire Phoenix Clan's true goal is, there is one thing that is beyond doubt. The Fire Phoenix Clan has been planning this for a long time, and they didn't hesitate to wait for Yan Jiuxiao to become a Pure Yang cultivator for several years. Although this is a well-planned and appropriate plan, it also means that the Fire Phoenix Clan doesn't have absolute confidence in winning. At the very least, they don't have the confidence to win in a short period of time. If the Fire Phoenix Clan has really come for a treasure that might exist on Scarlet Mist Island, then we have enough time to deal with everything that comes next!"
At this time, Tian Feng also said, "We don't have enough manpower!"
Although the treasured ship was completely comparable to a Pure Yang practitioner on the sea, and in terms of power and endurance, the treasured ship was far superior to a Pure Yang practitioner, but it was important to note that a Pure Yang practitioner was much more agile than a treasured ship. The Fire Phoenix Clan's Pure Yang practitioners would not be so foolish as to go head-on with a Zhenling's treasured ship. Moreover, the treasured ship had such power, apart from the quality of the ship itself, it also needed a Grand Practitioner and hundreds of middle and low-level practitioners who could command it with ease.
Moreover, once the Fire Phoenix Clan invaded Scarlet Mist Island, they would definitely be prepared for the worst. Apart from the Pure Yang practitioners, the number of Grand Practitioners they had would not be less than the total number of Grand Practitioners the North Sea humans currently had. In addition, there were also a large number of other Dharma adepts. The Fire Phoenix Clan was a large demon clan in the East Sea, second only to the Green Sea Snakes, so their power was not to be underestimated.
Although the number of Dharma adepts in Zhenling had increased like a geyser in the past few years, compared to a large demon clan like the Fire Phoenix Clan, they were still far behind. Apart from Tianling Mountain, which served as their headquarters, there were still many other important places in Zhenling that required Dharma adepts to guard. As such, the number of people that could be transferred to Scarlet Mist Island was also limited.
"There's no need for so many people!"
Lu Ping's voice suddenly had a hint of coldness in it. "Who knows, when the time comes, the Fire Phoenix Clan might retreat!"
There was a commotion outside the secret chamber, and Tiancheng Laozu's voice could be heard from afar. "This time, the Old Man is most likely in trouble. Where is Senior Brother Jiang? Quick, bring me to him!"
