Fu Lianyun quickly said, "Brother Chen, that is not what I meant. I am very confident in this battle. However, this Zhuang Zhenghe was supposed to deal with the Blue Dragon King, Xiao Chen. I still have not seen him. This is rather strange. "
Chen Ming patted Fu Lianyun's shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry. Right now, we are in the same boat as Zhuang Zhenghe. Our interests are the same. No matter what, Zhuang Zhenghe will not dare to play any tricks. This will not benefit him at all."
Hearing Chen Ming's explanation, the others relaxed slightly.
"In that case, we are overthinking. We should not let our imaginations run wild before a great battle."
"Sect Master Chen, please don't take it to heart."
Chen Ming had a smile on his face as he chatted casually with the group. However, he was smiling coldly in his heart.
At this moment, the islands of the other eight factions had turned out in full force. There were not many cultivators left to defend the islands.
Zhuang Zhenghe led the Buddhist sect disciples of Black Flame Island to the island where the Lianyun Gang was. Then, he instructed indifferently, "Collect all the resources on the island first. Then, gather all the people on the island in a temple and hold a ceremony to forcefully purify them."
Although the Buddhist sect disciples had set up temples on the various islands, they had not collected much power of faith in just one month. Furthermore, they had not been able to move freely.
It was far from enough to get the Amitabha Buddha statue to leave Black Flame Island.
Hence, Zhuang Zhenghe had no choice but to come up with a plan with Chen Ming to evacuate the people of the seven factions. After that, they would hold a Buddhist sect ceremony to forcibly purify the ordinary people.
This kind of ceremony was extremely tyrannical. After the ceremony, all the ordinary people purified would die immediately, overdrawing on all their lifeforce.
If not for the urgency of time, Zhuang Zhenghe would not have done this, killing these millions of ordinary people in batches. He could collect a vast amount of power of faith in a short time. However, after feeling satisfied for a while, the foundation would be damaged.
At that time, even if he managed to take down Heavenly Star Island, it would be much more troublesome to nurture new believers.
However, now that things had reached this point, Xiao Chen had no other choice. He had to take down Heavenly Star Island. There was something in there that he needed to obtain. This time, it was rare for the other factions to cooperate with him. he could not miss this opportunity!
When Lan Shaobai, who was on Heavenly Star Island, heard what Xiao Chen said, he immediately sent out scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the various factions.
When the fleet formed by the eight major forces had just set sail, he had received a detailed intelligence report from the City Lord Mansion.
After Lan Shaobai carefully read the intelligence report, his face immediately sank. Then, he slammed the intelligence report on the desk in front of him with a 'pa!'
"They really think that our Heavenly Star Island is easy to bully!"
Lan Shaobai waved his hand and called the guards outside. He said, "Invite all the outer sect elders of the City Lord's Residence over. Tell them to see me within one minute. Also, send someone to ask the inner court elders to come as soon as possible. "
The outer sect elders were experts that Lan Shaobai had hired from the Black Sea over the past two years through the Kim Tae-ho Chamber of Commerce's funds.
As for the inner sect elders, they were the direct subordinates of Yue Chenxi, Jin Lin, Yu, Liu Ke, and others. They were the people that Heavenly Star Island could absolutely trust.
After Mo Chen arrived, she organized this complete hierarchy. There were also all sorts of detailed arrangements. Everyone had their own tasks.
Even though the Dragon's Gate's signboard was not revealed, the island's basic hierarchy needed to exist. Otherwise, everyone would just be busy with their own things, forever a mess.
By laying the foundation in advance, when the Dragon's Gate's signboard was revealed, everything would naturally fall into place.
Mo Chen's thinking was even further ahead than that of Xiao Chen and the others. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
A strong wind blew in the great hall. The first to arrive were not the outer sect elders in the city but the inner sect elders like Yue Chenxi, who were cultivating on the distant mountain peaks.
Firstly, because they were stronger, they moved much faster. Secondly, they had already received notice from Lan Shaobai that something big would happen in the near future, so they were much more efficient.
Lan Shaobai looked at the five people in the hall and sized them up. Then, he smiled and said, "It looks like in this short one month, your strength has improved significantly. All of you are already great grandmaster-level Martial Sages."
Yu smiled and said, "Hehe! Not only did Big Brother Xiao Chen give me a Holy Spirit Vein, but he also gave me a Profound Martial Technique and a detailed explanation. I understood it the moment I heard it. If I still did not improve, I would really be a big fool. "
When Lan Shaobai heard that, he felt somewhat startled. To think that Xiao Chen even had a Profound Martial Technique. After all, several Blue Robed Emperors could not even obtain a Profound Martial Technique in their lifetimes.
"Right now, Elder Brother Shaobai might not even be a match for me."
Lan Shaobai smiled and did not argue.
Ten days ago, Xiao Chen, who was only a hair's breadth away from the Blue Robed Emperor, successfully broke through. Of the nine Holy Spirit Veins, Xiao Chen had already refined three. His cultivation stabilized at the Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor.
Before Lan Shaobai broke through to the Blue Robed Emperor realm, he had a thirty to forty percent chance of defeating a regular Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor. Now that Xiao Chen had broken through to the Blue Robed Emperor realm, he was fully confident of defeating a regular Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor.
However, there was no need for Xiao Chen to expose his strength now. He looked at Yue Chenxi and waited for her to speak.
Of the five, Xiao Chen thought the most highly of this girl, who came from the Kunlun Realm with Xiao Chen.
Yue Chenxi's pretty face appeared rather calm. He said indifferently, "I did not accept the Profound Martial Technique that Xiao Chen gave me. I only asked him for guidance on some things. I reformulated my own Morning Sun Fist and comprehended it for a month. Now, the might of the Morning Sun Fist is no weaker than a Profound Martial Technique. In fact, it might even be stronger. "
When Lan Shaobai heard that, he was stunned. He did not doubt Yue Chenxi's words at all. To be able to raise the might of a Martial Technique that one was familiar with to the level of a Profound Martial Technique was indeed more horrifying than a regular Profound Martial Technique.
The things that belonged to one would always be the most convenient to use. Their compatibility with one's body was also the highest.
The others spoke up one after another. In this one month of cultivation, they had all gained something. Their faces were filled with fighting spirit. They even somewhat anticipated the big matter that Lan Shaobai spoke of.
"The eight factions of the subordinate islands of Heavenly Star Island are working together. If I am not wrong, we will arrive at the seven satellite islands in half a day."
Lan Shaobai spoke slowly, honestly explaining the situation before them.
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, replaced with grave expressions.
Unexpectedly, it was such a difficult problem. They had just improved their strength, and now they had to face a person on the level of the Blue Robed Emperor.
"Elder Brother Shaobai, is this true?" Yu asked as she blinked.
Lan Shaobai nodded silently, confirming it once more. The atmosphere in the hall turned somewhat silent.
However, silence did not represent weakness, cowardice, or fear. Instead, it was eruption!
It would erupt in silence and not die in silence.
"Big Brother Shaobai, you did not call us here to get us to desert, right?!"
Carrying his saber on his back, Jin Lin's valiant face flashed with determination. He looked straight at Lan Shaobai, displaying his firm determination.
Lan Shaobai smiled and said, "Desert? How can that be possible? They are just a bunch of old fellows who have lost their sharpness. Do they really think that we, the younger generation, can be bullied as we wish? I, Lan Shaobai, have already endured enough. I only have one question: who is willing to accompany me to the frontlines? "
As Liu Ke grasped the treasure sword in his hand, a brilliant light flashed in the eyes of the usually quiet Liu Ke. He said indifferently, "The Blue Robed Emperor is not enough to scare me."
Xiao Xian, who looked gentle and pretty, said, "Xiao Xian is not that easy to scare, either."
From the start to the end, Yue Chenxi's eyes remained calm. He calmly expressed his determination. "From the moment I stepped onto Heavenly Star Island, I never thought of handing this island over to someone else."
Lan Shaobai was very satisfied with the reactions of the others. He said, "Everyone says that there is an insurmountable chasm between the Blue Robed Emperor and a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage. However, that is not the case. In a battle, cultivation, Martial Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, mental state, aura, Secret Treasures … there are simply too many factors that can affect the outcome.
"In the past year or so, I have fought with many Blue Robed Emperors. I deeply understand that this is just a fixed mindset. A great grandmaster-level Martial Sage might not necessarily be able to defeat the Blue Robed Emperor.
"I can clearly say that your current conditions are much better than mine was half a year ago. At that time, I did not have any Holy Spirit Veins to cultivate with or an expert like Xiao Chen to guide me. So, I absolutely cannot be afraid of battle. If I am afraid of death, I will really be dead. "
Over the past year or so, whenever the Seven Heroes Of The Dragon's people came to cause trouble, Lan Shaobai and Elder Qin dealt with them together. Lan Shaobai had a lot of experience fighting with the Blue Robed Emperor.
No one doubted Xiao Chen's words. They listened carefully and memorized them.
"Ta!
Ta! Ta! "Footsteps resounded. The outer sect elders of Heavenly Star Island were slightly slower. However, they still arrived on time, not a single one missing.
The outer sect elders were a group of grandmaster-level experts hired with money. For them to be so efficient was already considered pretty good.
Lan Shaobai did not waste any time, quickly explaining the situation of Heavenly Star Island. Then, he instructed, "There is no need for you to fight with the Blue Robed Emperor directly. Just use the King Grade warship to prevent his subordinates from harassing us."
In terms of loyalty, these outer sect elders could not compare to Yue Chenxi's group. Lan Shaobai naturally had his own plans for how to assign tasks.
"City Lord, don't worry. Just leave those miscellaneous soldiers to us," the outer sect elders answered in unison when they heard that.
Lan Shaobai continued, "For every warship destroyed, I will reward you with one hundred thousand Black Astral Coins. If you do not want Black Astral Coins, you can ask for Secret Treasures, Medicinal Pills, or Cultivation Techniques of equal value. Whoever destroys a hundred Sage Grade warships first will be rewarded with a Profound Martial Technique. There is only one. "
The generous rewards immediately lit up the eyes of these outer sect elders, filling them with excitement.
Profound Martial Techniques were something that even Immortal Holy Lands could not casually take out. They would only reward the most outstanding true inheritors. In auctions, there were often situations where one could not buy one even if one had the money.
It was impossible not to be tempted. Furthermore, Lan Shaobai's words were very ingenious. There was only one Profound Martial Technique. This way, he could stimulate the fighting spirit of these outer sect elders even more.
Naturally, Lan Shaobai had his own reasons for giving such a large reward. On the Battlefield, aside from the peak combatants, one should not underestimate those weaker than them.
