Inside the Spiritual Master's cave on Di Kun Island.
"Come, let us raise our glasses and congratulate Senior Brother Xuan Chang for becoming the Spiritual Master of Di Kun Island!"
Several Zhenling Core Forging cultivators raised their glasses together and congratulated a late-stage Core Forging cultivator sitting at the head of the table.
Zhenling's islands were generally divided into the island's resident cultivators and the island's guardian cultivators. Generally speaking, there was only one guardian cultivator, who was appointed by Zhenling to guard the island. The resident cultivators had to listen to the guardian cultivator's orders.
Now that Spiritual Master Xuan Chang had become the Spiritual Master of Di Kun Island, he was equivalent to the Island Master of Di Kun Island and had jurisdiction over all the islands under Di Kun Island.
As the Enlightened Masters toasted each other, they began to talk about the recent happenings in the North Sea's cultivation world. Enlightened Master Xuan Chang listened attentively with a smile on his face. Lu Ping, as a prominent figure among the new generation of North Sea cultivators, was naturally the topic of conversation among the Enlightened Masters.
When the topic of Lu Ping was brought up, Enlightened Master Xuan Chang cast an imperceptible glance at a Enlightened Master beside him.
Just when everyone was praising Lu Ping for occupying Huang Li Island in the hinterland of the Demon Race and turning it into a cultivation resource distribution center for Zhenling in the Outer Sea, a voice suddenly sounded. "This Martial Nephew Lu is a disciple of Senior Sister Tian Ling, so he is naturally an outstanding person. However, we have overestimated these juniors too much. If we become impatient, wouldn't we be harming them?"
The Spiritual Master deliberately pointed out that Lu Ping was a disciple of Liu Tianling Laozu. With a teacher like Liu Tianling, it was not a big deal for her disciple to have such achievements.
As soon as the Spiritual Master's voice fell, someone else asked, "Senior Brother Xuan Qing, why do you say that?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip. "Huang Li Island is isolated in the Outer Sea and is already a speck of sand in the eyes of the Demon Race. However, this Martial Nephew Lu gathered at least two small spirit veins on Huang Li Island. Don't you think he is deliberately attracting the Demon Race to attack?"
"What? Two small spirit veins?"
"What a waste! Two small spiritual veins are enough for four Core Forging cultivators to cultivate. "
"Exactly. In such a dangerous place, there's always the possibility of being attacked by the Demon Clan. If Huang Li Island falls, won't the two Spiritual Veins be taken by the Demon Clan?"
"I heard that a few years ago, the Li Clan was jumping up and down to report to the sect that their Spirit Vein had been stolen. At that time, Huang Li Island was being reclaimed, and that Martial Nephew Lu had a grudge against the Li Clan. Could it be that the Li Clan's accusation that Martial Nephew Lu had stolen their Spirit Vein was true?"
Enlightened Master Xuan Qing saw that his words had changed the topic of the cultivators' discussion about Lu Ping. He felt relieved and looked at Enlightened Master Xuan Chang, who nodded in satisfaction at his words.
Daoist Xuan Qing saw that the fire had been lit and decided to add more fuel to the fire, so he said, "I heard that Martial Nephew Lu's arrangements on Huang Li Island are exceptionally grand. Just the island's protective formation alone is far stronger than the protective formation on a small island like Xuan Qi Island. Without the support of a spirit vein, such an island's protective formation would require at least three to five hundred thousand spirit stones to operate. Whether it is the formation plate or the spirit stones, they were all Martial Nephew Lu's own handiwork. He didn't ask for any support from the sect. I'm afraid only Senior Sister Tian Ling's disciple would have such courage."
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing's words were a bit explicit this time. Some of the Spiritual Masters became silent after hearing this, while some of their eyes were rolling around. No one knew what they were thinking. Spiritual Master Xuan Qing decided to strike while the iron was hot and directly pointed out some things. In any case, most of the cultivators who came to congratulate Spiritual Master Xuan Chang for guarding Di Kun Island were from his faction or had a good relationship with his faction. It was only because Liu Tian Ling's Zhong Hua faction was too strong and the Xiao Yao faction was on the same side as her faction. In addition, Qu Xuancheng, Guo Xuanshan, and Spiritual Master Xuan Yin had a lot of weight in the sect and were close to them.
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing weighed his words and said, "This Martial Nephew Lu has been showing his independence in every way during the attack on Huang Li Island. It may seem like he has nothing to do with our sect, but in reality, everything is inseparable from the sect's support. Let's not talk about other things, but during the attack on Huang Li Island, other than Dao Master Mo Wei's subordinates, why didn't any other Demon Cultivators come? Wasn't it because our sect worked together in the other seas in the outer seas to restrain the strength of the Demon Race, allowing Huang Li Island to be successfully recovered? "
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing's words were mixed with falsehood, causing many cultivators to nod their heads. Sure enough, a cultivator opened his mouth and said, "This Martial Nephew Lu wants to make Huang Li Island his own territory!"
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing's face lit up and said, "That's right. It seems that this Martial Nephew Lu wants to use our sect's support to satisfy his selfish desires. In turn, he wants to become successful and famous. This is a bit too much."
Among the cultivators who came today, other than those who were on good terms with Enlightened Master Xuan Chang, the rest were either unsuccessful cultivators in the sect, or those who had given up on the path of cultivation. There were also those who wanted to establish their own clans. These cultivators were more or less selfish, and they were quite dissatisfied with Lu Ping, a rising star, and the sect's favoritism towards them. After Enlightened Master Xuan Qing's incitement, many of the cultivators also started to complain.
At this time, Spiritual Master Xuan Chang, who was sitting at the head of the table, said, "I think what everyone said is reasonable, but Martial Nephew Lu is after all Senior Sister Tian Ling's direct disciple. He won't set up his own sect, but relying on Senior Sister Tian Ling's trust for some personal gain is true. However, Huang Li Island is deep in the demon race's hinterland. It would be too ostentatious to have these things gathered on the island. Moreover, Martial Nephew Lu is only an early Core Forging cultivator and a junior. Xuan Qi Island needs a highly respected peak Core Forging cultivator like Senior Brother Qu Xuancheng to guard it. Giving an important island like Huang Li Island to Martial Nephew Lu is too much of a joke."
As soon as Spiritual Master Xuan Chang's voice fell, Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and several cultivators who were on good terms with him took the lead to support him. Spiritual Master Xuan Chang smiled and said, "I think there's no harm in doing this. In view of the importance of Huang Li Island, we might as well send a mid Core Forging Junior Brother to guard it. At the same time, four early Core Forging Junior Brothers or Martial Nephews will accompany them in exchange for Martial Nephew Lu. This way, Huang Li Island's defensive strength will be greatly increased. After all, Martial Nephew Lu is an outstanding talent among the new generation of Core Forging Cultivators in our sect. As his elders, we should naturally protect him.
Today, most of the cultivators present were Core Forging Cultivators. Who couldn't see that Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and Spiritual Master Xuan Chang were putting on an act? They couldn't hear the hidden meaning behind Spiritual Master Xuan Chang's words. However, the two spirit veins and a large amount of cultivation resources on Huang Li Island made everyone have the same interests and similar goals.
However, at this time, a cultivator opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that simple. After all, it was Martial Nephew Lu who took the initiative to recover Huang Li Island. If he doesn't want to give up his position, with Senior Sister Tian Ling's support, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. Senior Sister Tian Ling's tyranny is not something we haven't experienced. If she is in the right, then we can't do anything to her. Now that her status has risen, even the other Laozu's don't want to interfere too much."
Daoist Master Xuan Chang's brows couldn't help but wrinkle. However, this situation was within his expectations, so he smiled and said, "Then let's change the method. We'll send a Mid Core Forging Junior Brother and two Early Core Forging Martial Nephews to Huang Li Island to help Martial Nephew Lu defend Huang Li Island. This way, Senior Sister Tian Ling won't be able to say anything. After all, Huang Li Island only has two Core Forging Cultivators.
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang's plan shocked the cultivators in the cave mansion. As long as a mid Core Forging Cultivator went, whether it was in terms of seniority or cultivation, he would be able to suppress Lu Ping. At that time, would Lu Ping be able to surpass this person? As time passed, it would be hard to say who would be guarding Huang Li Island.
The cultivator who spoke before thought for a moment and said again, "Even so, if we directly send people there, it will inevitably be criticized. After all, Huang Li Island has been recovered for nearly three years. The Demon Race has launched a small beast tide to besiege Huang Li Island more than once. But every time, Martial Nephew Lu was able to repel them."
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing curled his lips and said, "Senior Brother Xuan He is too cautious. If we wait until Huang Li Island's protective formation is broken by the Demon Race, do you think Martial Nephew Lu will be able to resist the Demon Race's attack? At that time, the spirit vein on the island will be snatched away and it will be too late! "
Spiritual Master Xuan He, who spoke before, did not reply. Obviously, he did not agree with Spiritual Master Xuan Qing's words.
At this moment, a cultivator hurriedly walked into the cave mansion and whispered a few words to Spiritual Master Xuan Chang. Spiritual Master Xuan Chang's face turned serious, then he looked at the Spiritual Masters in the cave mansion and said with a smile, "Isn't this an opportunity? Xuan Qi Island just sent news that the Demon Race has besieged Huang Li Island again. This time, the Demon Race's offensive is very fierce. Huang Li Island's protective formation will most likely be destroyed."
After hearing this, everyone's spirits rose. Spiritual Master Xuan Qing happily said, "Then what are we waiting for? We will go now!"
At this time, Spiritual Master Xuan He looked puzzled and said, "Strange, there is a transmission array on Huang Li Island. Why did the news come from Xuan Qi Island?"
As soon as Spiritual Master Xuan He's voice fell, not only Spiritual Master Xuan Qing, but Spiritual Master Xuan Chang's expression also changed.
"To the transmission array!"
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang waved his hand and more than a dozen Spiritual Masters in the cave mansion walked towards the transmission array on Di Kun Island.
"What? The transmission array to Huang Li Island can't be used? That means the transmission array on Huang Li Island is most likely destroyed? Then what about the transmission array to Xuan Qi Island? "
"What? It was blocked by the array just now? "
The cultivators behind Spiritual Master Xuan Chang were in an uproar. Someone actually snuck into Huang Li Island, destroyed its transmission array, and also blocked the transmission array to Xuan Qi Island. Di Kun Island was a thousand and five hundred li away from Huang Li Island. By the time everyone flew over, Huang Li Island would have already been destroyed.
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang and Spiritual Master Xuan Qing looked at each other. The current situation was completely out of their control.
