In the main hall of the holy island, everyone was seated.
Compared to the last time Lu Ye was here, there were far fewer old seniors here.
According to his last observation, there were more than seventy Divine Sea Realm cultivators on the holy island, including his senior brother, but now there were only a dozen or so.
Yue Ji, Jian Guhong, Meng Jie, and Wu Chang, whom Lu Ye was most familiar with, were not here.
They were clearly not on the Saint Island. Otherwise, they would have shown themselves. The fact that these top-notch seniors were not on the Saint Island meant that they had gone out to stir up trouble. Although they were old, none of them were people who knew their place.
In the Nine States, in order to pursue a higher cultivation realm, they could endure a life-and-death seclusion to comprehend the mysteries above the Divine Sea Realm.
But in a place like the blood refinement realm, how could they endure a life-and-death seclusion? If it weren't for the fact that the holy island's power was too weak compared to the entire blood refinement realm, they would have led their troops out long ago.
Now, they couldn't lead their troops out, but they could still go out in groups of three or five to cause trouble.
Once people like them took action like this, the trouble they would cause to the vampires was not something that could be ignored.
Feng Wujiang was telling Lu Ye about the changes in the blood refinement realm in the past two years after he left.
Nearly two years ago, the Blood Race's four armies came to encircle them. Although the holy land repelled them, a gap was opened in their last line of defense.
Originally, the holy land could rely on their last line of defense to resist the Blood Race's encirclement, but once a gap appeared, the situation was different.
Next time, the Blood Race would definitely deploy a large number of troops to deal with this gap.
To be honest, the holy land didn't have the confidence to resist, especially in the last battle. The holy land had suffered heavy losses, and all of the Divine Sea Realm dao soldiers had died.
It could be said that the holy land's defensive power had weakened compared to last time. Coupled with the large gap, their future was bleak.
The Blood Race was obviously aware of this, so after retreating last time, they had been actively preparing for the next siege. Now that almost two years had passed, the Blood Race's preparations were almost complete.
In half a year, or at most a year, the Blood Race would besiege the holy land again. At that time, the holy land's survival would be determined!
In the face of such a situation, the Sacred Land didn't have a good way to deal with it.
After all, this was the Blood Refinement Realm, the world of the Blood Race. It wasn't easy to nurture human cultivators, and Blood Race Dao Soldiers weren't easy to obtain. The Holy Land could be said to be in a passive position.
They could only do three things.
The first thing he did was to mobilize the old seniors to stir up a storm.
Killing powerful warriors of the Blood Race and delaying the gathering speed of the Blood Race army was also the reason why there were only a dozen top-notch warriors of the Divine Sea Realm guarding the sacred ground.
The reason was that everyone else had indeed run out.
No one knew how effective this would be. Whether those old seniors were alive or dead outside, there was no way to contact them. Things like the Sound Transmission Stone had a distance limit. It was not as convenient and fast as the battlefield imprint of the Nine Prefectures.
The second thing was to strengthen the Holy Island's defenses. This had already been confirmed by the Heavenly Punishment earlier. If it were the Holy Island's defenses two years ago, it might not have been able to withstand three Heavenly Punishments, but it was able to do so now. This meant that its defenses had been strengthened.
However, passively defending was never as good as taking the initiative to attack. When the time came for the Holy Land to rely on the protection array to survive, no matter how strong the protection was, there would be a time when it would be broken.
The third thing was to wait. Wait for Lu Ye to return!
Wait for him to bring back enough helpers from the Nine Prefectures to help the Holy Land of Jade Blood through this crisis.
Now that Lu Ye had returned, but no helpers had been seen. Naturally, no one felt that there were no helpers coming. Since Lu Ye could return, there must be others coming. As for how many would come, it would depend on Lu Ye's methods.
Everyone was looking forward to this.
After a simple explanation, Lu Ye understood the recent situation.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
The white-haired Granny Jiu chuckled. "This old woman is old and can't stand stimulation. Let's listen to the good one first."
The group nodded in agreement.
Lu Ye said, "The good news is that there will be a lot of helpers coming this time."
An old senior named Zong Zhen couldn't help but stroke his beard. "A lot? How many can there be? "
Lu Ye said in a low voice, "The entire Nine Prefectures, from the Divine Ocean to the Cloud River. Not all of them will come, but seventy to eighty percent will be no problem!"
It was definitely impossible for all of them to come. There had to be someone left behind to guard, just in case. As for the various sects, clans, and provincial guards, who would stay behind and who would participate in the expedition, that would depend on the specific decisions of the Nine Prefectures.
As for Spirit Stream Realm cultivators … Battles at this level were not very beneficial to them. Disregarding everything else, the mobility of a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator would be a problem. Thus, according to the information that Lu Ye had received, Spirit Stream Realm cultivators would not participate in this expedition.
Leaving them to cultivate in the Spirit Stream Realm was the right thing to do. Once they reached the Cloud River, mobility would not be a problem. At the very least, they could fly.
As soon as he said this, the hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Zong Zhen's hand trembled, and he broke a few strands of his beard.
After a long while, someone frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense. The two realms are so far apart. Even if we can use the Tianji Pillar to achieve teleportation, it's impossible for too many people to come. That would consume too much energy. Kid, did you make a mistake somewhere?"
This was also the doubt in everyone's mind. Originally, they thought that Lu Ye could bring hundreds or thousands of Divine Ocean Realm cultivators this time, which would be enough to solve the urgent situation. However, if what Lu Ye said was true, it would not be hundreds or thousands of Divine Ocean Realm cultivators who would come. There would be tens of thousands of them.
Not only would there be Divine Ocean Realm cultivators, but there would also be True Lake Realm cultivators and Cloud River Realm cultivators … The number of cultivators of these two realms would only be greater.
At that time, not to mention protecting the Jade Blood Sacred Ground, they could launch a counterattack against the Blood Race.
However, considering the consumption of energy during teleportation, everyone felt that this was not too realistic.
"You may not know this, but the Blood Refining Realm has been approaching the Nine Prefectures all these years. Now, in the starry sky above the Nine Prefectures, the Nine Prefectures can clearly see the Nine Prefectures.
Cultivators can already clearly see the existence of the Blood Refining Realm, so although the distance between the two realms is not close, it is already not far. Moreover, this distance is still continuing to close, so the teleportation consumption due to the distance shouldn't be a problem. "
"There's such a thing?" Everyone was surprised.
Although they could also look up at the starry sky in the Blood Refining Realm, without a special sensing method, they could not detect the existence of the Nine Provinces. There were so many stars in the sky, who knew which one was the Nine Provinces?
It was because Lu Ye had refined a drop of Sacred Blood that he could clearly sense the existence of the Blood Refinement Realm.
Feng Wujiang nodded and said, "Indeed, the stars in the sky of the Blood Refining Realm are always changing. We once speculated that it was always moving, but we didn't expect that it was actually moving in the direction of the Nine Provinces."
Another old senior named Wu Junting laughed. "There's actually such a good thing. The Blood Race is going to be unlucky this time!"
These people had been in the Blood Refining Realm for at least a few decades, and the longest was nearly two hundred years. Before Feng Wujiang established the Jade Blood Sacred Ground, they all lived independently. Even if they were strong individually, they lived a life of hiding, and it was not easy to expose their whereabouts.
After Feng Wujiang came to the Blood Refinement Realm and established the Jade Blood Holy Land, he gathered everyone's strength. Although he finally had a place to stay, his life was incomparably stifling. Every few years, he would be besieged by a large-scale Blood Race attack.
They were all people who could summon wind and rain in the Nine Provinces, and it had always been them who beat others. How could they be beaten all the time?
They had also thought of counterattacking, but their overall strength did not allow it, and they could only sigh helplessly.
Now, as the two realms continued to close, teleportation would not be a problem. When the time came, 70% to 80% of the cultivators above the Cloud River Tier in the Nine Provinces would enter the Blood Refining Realm. With so much help, they finally did not have to be trapped in one place, and could properly vent the sullenness and depression that had accumulated over so many years.
For a moment, everyone was excited.
They were very clear about the foundation of the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces. When the time came, the army of the Nine Provinces would come, and dealing with the Blood Race would be easy!
Fortunately, they were all people with calm temperaments. Although they were excited and expectant, they still restrained themselves.
"Then what's the bad news?" Feng Wujiang asked. He did not forget what Lu Ye had said just now.
Lu Ye's expression was grave. "The will of heaven and earth of the Blood Refining Realm! You all saw it just now. The moment I came, I was targeted by the will of heaven and earth of the Blood Refining Realm, and even heavenly punishment descended. What about the others? When the heavenly punishment comes, no matter how many cultivators come from the Nine Provinces, I'm afraid that many will die! "
The excitement and enthusiasm of the old senior was immediately extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him …
Yes, the will of heaven and earth of the Blood Refining Realm was clear and strong. Lu Ye, the intruder, was targeted as soon as he appeared. If he did not have a special method to resolve it, the heavenly punishment would definitely not have stopped.
But Lu Ye had this method, and the others could not.
Who could block the might of the heavenly punishment? When the time came, there would probably be a situation where no matter how many people came, they would die.
In the silence, someone said, "When the time comes, perhaps more people will come.
If so, the will of heaven and earth of the Blood Refining Realm will weaken? Moreover, something like heavenly punishment cannot appear out of thin air. There will be consumption, and it is impossible.
It will be endless. "
"Perhaps, but we can't treat it as hope. No one has experienced such a situation. If our judgment is wrong, the ones who will lose are the cultivators of the Nine Provinces. We asked them to come over to help, not to send them to their deaths."
"If the Nine Provinces can't provide help, the Sacred Ground will definitely not be able to protect it. If it really comes to the last step, we can only use the Tianji Pillar to return to the Nine Provinces."
"We can retreat, but the humans in the Sacred Ground can't all retreat. When the time comes, the people will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering."
In the midst of their words, the old seniors discussed intensely.
They looked at the Great Sage of the Human Dao.
