In the sky above Huang Li Island, Dao Master Ao Lie thought that it would be a piece of cake to capture Huang Li Island, but he didn't expect to fall into Qu Xuancheng's trap from the very beginning. Seven early Core Forging Realm monster cultivators died, six were seriously injured, and the rest of the cultivators who escaped back with pale faces were full of fear, no longer daring to get close to the island's protective formation.
Dao Master Ao Lie's face was livid. Dao Master Mo Wei had already warned him in advance, so Dao Master Mo Wei obviously wouldn't jump out to accuse Dao Master Ao Lie at this time. Instead, he silently stood behind Dao Master Ao Lie and didn't say a word, willingly becoming a foil to Dao Master Ao Lie.
Among the seven dead monster cultivators, four of them were direct descendants of clan leaders or elders of large North Sea monster clans, and their family members were all influential figures. There was no lack of a possibility that one of them had the bloodline of a monster king, and one of them was even from the Primordial Giant Crocodile Clan, Ao Lie's own nephew. This time, he was entrusted by his brother Ao Di to let his nephew experience a real battle, to polish his nephew's arrogance, but he didn't expect that before the battle broke out, his nephew would die first.
Dao Master Ao Lie could already imagine his brother Ao Di's rage when he found out that his son had died. Ao Di was a figure who had reached the half-step Dharma Characteristic Stage, and was considered to be the future tenth Monster King of the Primordial Giant Crocodile Clan after Monster King Ao Chuang, the lord of Golden Serpent Island.
Among the rest of the seriously injured monster cultivators, many of them were of rather noble birth. Dao Master Ao Lie could already foresee that even if he could capture Huang Li Island this time, he wouldn't be valued by the North Sea monster clans, and there was even a possibility that he would be abandoned as a scapegoat.
He wanted to find a scapegoat!
This was Dao Master Ao Lie's first reaction, and the most suitable candidate was undoubtedly the 'Undefeated General' Mo Wei who was standing behind him. However, just as this thought rose in Ao Lie's mind, it was extinguished by himself. If Dao Master Mo Wei was not the first to discover that something was wrong and rushed to the rescue in time, under the attack of Qu Xuancheng's' Blazing Sky Incinerating Flames', perhaps the loss would not be as simple as the seven transformed demon cultivators. Moreover, when Dao Master Mo Wei discovered that something was wrong, he shouted out loud. At that time, many of the demon cultivators present heard it. If Dao Master Mo Wei became the scapegoat, then wouldn't Dao Master Ao Lie, who did not react at that time, be even more incompetent?
Reverend Lu Hai saw that the battle against Huang Li Island had just begun and the cultivators on his side had already suffered such a huge loss. He also saw the entire scene just now. It was obvious that Ao Lie didn't listen to Reverend Mo Wei's advice and when it happened, it was Ao Lie's slow reaction which delayed the rescue.
Reverend Lu Hai saw that Dao Master Ao Lie was standing there with an ashen face and Dao Master Mo Wei seemed to have turned into a wooden man. He thought that Dao Master Mo Wei no longer wanted to help Dao Master Ao Lie, so he looked down on Dao Master Ao Lie even more.
Seeing that more than twenty Core Forging cultivators had gathered in the sky above Huang Li Island and Dao Master Ao Lie was still standing there indifferently, Reverend Lu Hai became anxious. His words became more hurried and he said, "Why hasn't Manor Master Ao Lie given the order? Do you still want to give the enemy a buffer?"
Hearing this, Dao Master Ao Lie suddenly turned his head to look at Reverend Lu Hai. His eyes were red and emitted an ominous glint. Reverend Lu Hai's heart skipped a beat and he actually didn't dare to meet Dao Master Ao Lie's eyes. Only now did he realize that his words were somewhat inappropriate. If he offended this person, it would be very bad. Although the two of them had the same cultivation level, Ao Lie was still from the Primordial Crocodile Clan. Although Reverend Lu Hai's strength had greatly improved after advancing to the late Core Forging stage, he still didn't have the confidence to deal with the Primordial Crocodile Clan.
Just when Reverend Lu Hai was thinking whether he should find an opportunity to give in, Reverend Lu Hai suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Lu Hai is right. This time, I will help Brother Mo Wei to entangle Qu Xuancheng. The remaining cultivators on the island will have to rely on Brother Lu Hai's strength, especially those two young cultivators from Zhenling. They actually have a cultivation level of the fourth layer of Core Forging stage. It seems that in Zhenling, they are people with the same status as Lu Xuanping. These two people must die."
Although Reverend Lu Hai was a little surprised by the change in Ao Lie's attitude, he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "I will do my best!"
Reverend Ao Lie nodded with satisfaction and began to arrange for the attack on the island. Only Reverend Mo Wei looked at the complacent Reverend Lu Hai with a somewhat complicated expression. In the end, he didn't say anything and followed Ao Lie.
After the expansion of Huang Li Island, not only did the area of the island increase from a radius of more than 10 li to a radius of more than 30 li, but the number of cultivators gathered on the island also increased. This would be a great help in times of crisis. Moreover, the number of small spirit veins on the island had increased to six, making the island's protective array more solid and stable.
After the last siege of Huang Li Island, the Monster Race cultivators learned their lesson and no longer blindly attacked the island's protective array. Instead, more than 20 Core Forging Stage Monster Cultivators arranged a simple Demon Soldier Formation in the sky, ready to break the array with the formation.
Soon, the entire Huang Li Island was drowned by the sound of explosions, and the protective array of Huang Li Island began to tremble violently. This time, the Monster Race no longer concentrated on attacking one point of the array. This was because the Zhenling experts on the island were not like the previous time, but more than 10 Core Forging Stage Monster Cultivators had gathered together. Among them, there were veteran Core Forging Stage Monster Cultivators like Qu Xuancheng, as well as the two Core Forging Stage Monster Cultivators like Fang Cai and a group of Core Forging Stage Monster Cultivators at the Early Core Forging Stage. If they continued to attack like the previous time, they would only be adding food to the island's Zhenling cultivators.
Listening to the Core Forging Stage Monster Cultivators outside the island attacking the island's protective array, Daoist Master Qu Xuancheng frowned and scolded, "This group of beasts has learned to be smart. They have made up their minds. Even if it takes a long time, they will wait for the array to completely collapse before attacking together."
Qu Xuancheng looked at Yin Xuanchu behind him with some worry. Ever since the news of Daoist Master Mysterious Yin's death came, Yin Xuanchu became more and more silent, but the chill on his body grew stronger day by day.
Ji Xuanxuan said with a smile, "Martial Uncle, don't worry. I just received that little turtle and brought it in, and Senior Sister Hu has already brought the things he brought into Senior Brother Lu's cultivation room. I believe that Senior Brother Lu will return to Huang Li Island in a short moment. Wouldn't that mean that we've gained another great combat strength?"
However, Daoist Master Qu Xuancheng was not so optimistic. He said, "I have already seen the situation outside when we attacked just now. This time, not only Mo Wei, Lu Hai has also advanced to the late Core Forging Stage, and there is also a Primordial Giant Crocodile in the late Core Forging Stage. At that time, as long as the two of them join forces to hold me back, I will be able to defeat all of you. Although Martial Nephew Lu's strength far surpasses cultivators of the same level, I'm afraid that it is still not enough to fight against a late Core Forging Stage cultivator. After all, only a late Core Forging Stage cultivator can understand the huge gap between the middle and late Core Forging Stage cultivators."
This time, Ji Xuanxuan did not speak, because even he himself was not confident. In Zhenling, only late Core Forging Stage cultivators were a special group that could truly participate in the sect's decision-making with Dharma Phase Laozu. In the other sects in the North Sea, this situation was basically the same. However, the other sects had Sect Masters in charge of everything, and late Core Forging Stage cultivators mostly participated in the sect's affairs as the sect's Elders. From this, one could see the status of late Core Forging Stage cultivators in the North Sea's cultivation world.
Status itself was often fought for by strength. Therefore, late Core Forging Stage cultivators had always formed their own group in the cultivation world, and were separated from early and middle Core Forging Stage cultivators.
Yao Yong, who was at the side, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we ask for help from Di Kun Island? Martial Uncle Xuan Chang, who is guarding Di Kun Island, is also a late Core Forging Stage cultivator, and the strength of Di Kun Island is much stronger than Huang Li Island … "
Before Yao Yong could finish his words, he saw Shi Lingling, who was at the side, roll her eyes at him. Yao Yong knew that he had probably made a stupid suggestion, so he immediately chuckled and did not speak.
Spiritual Master Qu Xuancheng looked at his disciple helplessly, he was too lazy to be angry with him.
Shi Lingling said directly, "Since the Demon Race came to besiege Huang Li Island, then the Demon Race must have left behind some forces to restrain Di Kun Island, which is quite close to here. Martial Uncle Xuan Chang will not take the risk for Huang Li Island."
Spiritual Master Qu nodded and said, "The leader of the Demon Race on Di Kun Island is called Ao Li, he is a late Core Forging Stage expert of the Primordial Giant Crocodile Clan."
Hearing that it was a late Core Forging Stage Primordial Giant Crocodile, everyone fell silent. As a top-tier Demon Beast, the Primordial Giant Crocodile's innate strength was often superior to other cultivators of the same level. Spiritual Master Xuancheng was only at the eighth layer of Core Forging Stage. Ao Li was also a very famous Demon Beast in the North Sea cultivation world, but Spiritual Master Xuancheng could only rely on Di Kun Island's defensive formation to fight against Ao Li.
At this time, Chen Lian also said, "How about we continue to maintain the island's defensive formation so that it does not collapse? The Demon Race will not be besieging Huang Li Island for too long. Once the siege on Tian Ling Mountain is lifted, our sect will be free, and the Demon Race cultivators will definitely retreat."
Zhong Jian asked with some hesitation, "Can they hold on for that long? How many high-grade spirit stones would it take to make up for the loss of the Spirit Vein? I just don't know how the battle on Tian Ling Mountain is going. If Huang Li Island falls, then Xuan Ling Sect will be the Demon Race's accomplice. "
Spiritual Master Qu said without hesitation, "Xuan Ling Sect will not be able to gain any advantage. Tian Ling Mountain will not be besieged for too long. However, blindly defending is not a solution. We must fight with the Demon Race cultivators and make them feel pain and fear. Only then can Huang Li Island stand firm in the Outer Endless Sea."
At this time, in Lu Ping's cultivation room, Hu Lili finally confirmed the location of the teleportation formation that Lu Ping had set up in the Deep Sea Demon Territory through the formation plate brought back by Lu Dagui. After placing the formation plate in the teleportation formation, the Deep Sea Demon Territory and Huang Li Island were finally connected. A white light flashed in the cultivation room, gradually blinding everyone's eyes.
After the white light flashed, Hu Lili blinked her eyes and saw Lu Ping standing in front of her with a grin. Hu Lili's eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons as she softly said, "You're back?"
Lu Ping nodded his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Hu Lili giggled and said, "What dangerous place did I get trapped in this time? Why did I need Dagui's help to use the teleportation formation to return?"
When Lu Ping saw that Hu Lili was about to erase the formation on the ground, Lu Ping stopped her and said, "Just remove the formation plate. This formation may be useful in the future."
