The sea area within a hundred miles of Dinghai City had regained its temporary peace. With the arrival of the two Yuanying cultivators, the Sea Clan seemed to have tacitly retreated to the edge of the sea more than five hundred miles away.
At the same time, in the Dinghai City's City Lord's Mansion, the Jin Dan cultivators stood below with solemn expressions while the two Yuanying cultivators from Iron Sword Sect and Xuanling Sect sat opposite each other, listening to the reports below.
The Jin Dan cultivator on duty in Dinghai City this time was Iron Sword Sect's Golden Saber Wu Min. At this moment, she was pointing at the various defense points on the sea map in front of her and reporting to the two Yuanying cultivators with a tired face.
Suddenly, Nangong Ba raised his hand and interrupted Wu Min's words. Then, he stood up and said loudly, "Junior Brother Yi is here. Xuan Jianxin and I have been waiting here for a long time."
After a while, a blurry figure appeared in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. In less than three breaths, it solidified and revealed Yi Tian's appearance.
The Jin Dan cultivators present also widened their eyes. The person in front of them was a famous figure in recent years. Previously, he had always been elusive. However, he actually appeared in the sea battle this time. It was truly shocking.
Nangong Ba's eyes flashed and he said, "Junior Brother Yi, your cultivation has improved so much in the past few years. In my opinion, we will have to rely on you to deal with the sea battle this time."
Yi Tian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Senior Brother, you are too kind. I am a junior and will have to rely on Senior Brother's guidance in dealing with the relationship between the two clans." Then, he turned to Xuan Jianxin and cupped his hands, "May I know where Senior Brother Mo is now?"
Although Yi Tian used to be a junior, his cultivation had now reached the mid-stage of Yuanying. Moreover, he was Mo Wentian's Junior Brother. Therefore, Xuan Jianxin hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, "This time, the Patriarch personally came out of seclusion to look for the East Sea Flood Dragon King. I am afraid that he is currently negotiating with the Flood Dragon King. As for the outcome, we do not know if there will be another battle. "
Yi Tian nodded his head in acknowledgment. He began to ponder in his heart. Logically speaking, with Mo Wen Tian personally taking action, this matter should not be difficult to settle. However, they actually needed all of the Yuanying cultivators from the three sects to be present. It seemed that the Sea Tribe wasn't easy to deal with. Although he didn't know what the outcome of the negotiations would be, he still had to make the necessary preparations.
Sweeping his gaze over Wu Min and the others, he realized that all of them looked exhausted. The battle in the East Sea must have been very intense, causing these Jin Dan cultivators to be exhausted.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and took out a one meter long cage. Inside it was the mutated lightning dragon. At this time, its eyes were dull, and there was a golden needle on its forehead. Its whole body was lying on the ground, and its four legs were powerless. Except for the spiritual pressure of a sixth-grade sea beast coming from its body, the rest of its body was like a harmless low-grade sea beast.
Most of the Jin Dan cultivators below recognized this beast and began to whisper among themselves. Yi Tian coughed softly and said, "I discovered this beast when I was passing through the inner sea. Now that I have subdued it, you can think of a way to pry some valuable information out of it."
Nangong Ba glanced at it and said, "Junior Brother Yi, you may not know this, but after these sea beasts broke through the defensive line, some of them broke into the inner sea. This mutated lightning dragon should be the commander of the army that broke into the inner sea. This will save us a lot of time." With a wave of his hand, a few Jin Dan cultivators moved the cage to the side hall, where specialized interrogators would be in charge of interrogating the beasts.
Afterward, Nangong Ba took charge of Dinghai City's defense. He sent two Jin Dan cultivators to lead several Foundation Establishment cultivators to form a patrol team to maintain the peace of the inner sea. He also sent several disciples who were proficient in formations overnight to take advantage of the temporary truce to rebuild Dinghai City's defense system as soon as possible.
After a series of instructions, Nangong Ba sent the Golden Core disciples out. After that, Nangong Ba opened a light restriction and surrounded the three of them. Then, he sat down and said to Yi Tian, "Junior Brother, I have something to ask you. Can you answer me truthfully?"
Seeing Nangong Ba's serious expression, Yi Tian knew that the following conversation was most likely related to him. He immediately said with a solemn expression, "Senior Brother Nangong, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay, let me ask you. Did you kill Fu Kecheng at the Corpse School?" Nangong Ba asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian didn't hide anything and directly told Nangong Ba about how he had killed Yin Lixing and formed a grudge with Fu Kecheng. The other two couldn't help but sigh.
Nangong Ba shook his head and said, "Junior Brother had no choice but to do this. Although Fu Kecheng had many faults, he was still the Corpse School's top fighting force. Originally, the three sects of the Eastern Ao Sect and the Northern Face Sect were weak and had to rely on their full strength whenever they encountered a naval battle. Now that the Corpse School's strength has been greatly reduced, Ke Manzi can't do anything alone. Therefore, Junior Brother can't shirk the responsibility for the fall of Ninghai City. "
Nangong Ba remembered that the jade slip mentioned that Ninghai City had been breached by the Red Scaled Sea Tribe. It seemed that the Yuanying cultivators were at a disadvantage when fighting against sea beasts of the same level.
Yi Tian said helplessly, "Senior Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Nangong Ba replied, "Ninghai City and Dinghai City are intimately interdependent. We should think of a way to take back Ninghai City and then establish a defensive system. That way, we can use the two coastal cities as a foundation to completely isolate the enemy from the foreign seas. "
Yi Tian understood what Nangong Ba meant. He had killed Fu Kecheng and caused the northern side's top fighting force to be insufficient, resulting in the fall of Ninghai City. Now, Yi Tian had to deal with this mess by himself.
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian said, "If Senior Brother thinks we can defend Dinghai City, then Junior Brother is willing to assist in the northern battle. Please also inform the Yuanying cultivators of the three northern sects to coordinate the defense."
Nangong Ba said, "White Bone Demon is currently in charge of the northern side. I believe you can handle it when you go there. Don't suppress the Corpse School too much. Senior Brother Tie Jian said that the Six Sects of Eastern Ao are currently in a state of balance. We should at least wait until the situation in the East Sea is stabilized."
Seeing this, Yi Tian didn't mind. After nodding, he got up and said goodbye to the two, then his figure flashed into the air and flew in the direction of Ninghai City in the north.
After Yi Tian left, Xuan Jianxin asked, "Senior Brother Nangong, do you think the Sect Master of the direct bloodline can handle this matter properly?"
Nangong Ba smiled and said, "Senior Brother Tie Jian has said it first. Although we want to return to the main branch, we still need to see whether he is a competent Sovereign or not. If he only knows how to fight and kill, he is not a wise person. Once our three branches are united, there will definitely be hostility. Senior Brother's intention is to listen to his words and observe his actions. If he can really bind the Six Sects of Eastern Ao together, then we will truly be convinced. This will be a test for him to see if Junior Brother Yi has the ability to control the six sects. "
