The distance between Dinghai City in the south and Ninghai City in the north was less than a thousand nautical miles. Based on Yi Tian's speed, it would take him less than two hours to get there. Even if he flew at full speed, it wouldn't take him more than two hours.
Back then, he had personally set up the array discs on Dinghai City's defensive island chain. Along the way, he discovered that apart from a few nodes that had been breached, most of them were still intact.
He believed that Dinghai City would definitely send more people to repair these damaged nodes, so he didn't have to worry about them.
Previously, after talking with Nangong Ba, he had learned that the reason Iron Sword Elder hadn't attacked the three northern sects was because he wanted to rely on their strength to defend Dong Ao's northern coastline. As long as the three sects didn't cross the line on major matters, Iron Sword Elder would turn a blind eye.
Now that he had returned, the strength of the Corpse School in the north had been greatly reduced. That was why Ninghai City's defense had been insufficient due to the lack of Yuanying cultivators. In the end, the Red Scaled Sea Marsh had forcefully broken through.
Although that was what he said, Yi Tian didn't care too much. Back then, he had been deeply involved with the Corpse School. Ever since he had been in the Qi Refinement realm, they had been in constant contact. Yin Lixing and Fu Kecheng had always viewed him as a thorn in their side, and he had almost died at their hands time and time again. Now that the tables had turned and he had the upper hand, it was time for him to settle the score.
No matter how much Mo Wentian complained, he had already killed him. There was nothing to say. Furthermore, Yi Tian had already contacted the White Bone Gate. He might have further plans for the Corpse School in the future.
As he flew north, the defensive island chain near Dinghai City was the most intact. However, the further north he went, the more damaged the island chain was. After entering the defensive island chain region of Ninghai City, the situation there was worse than in the south. Looking down, he saw that most of the defensive array discs that had been set up at intervals of 30 to 50 kilometers had been destroyed.
Only a few nodes were still relying on their original facilities to tenaciously defend themselves. There were also some level four sea beasts leading many low-level subordinates in an attempt to besiege these nodes.
Yi Tian, who was high in the sky, frowned slightly after looking at the situation below. It seemed that the situation in Ninghai City was worse than he thought. After Ninghai City was breached, it was estimated that the three sects could only retreat to the coastline before they could reorganize their defenses.
As for the mutant lightning dragon, it should have broken into the inland sea through the gaps in the island chain's defenses. If it hadn't encountered him, it might have wreaked havoc in the inland sea.
When he thought of this, Yi Tian didn't dare delay any longer. Even if Dinghai City didn't fall, it wouldn't be able to defend against the Red Scaled Sea Tribe in the north. It would only be a matter of time before Dinghai City became an isolated island.
Glancing at the low-tier sea beasts below, Yi Tian raised his right hand and a cyan sword light shot out from his hand, piercing downwards. When it was close to the surface of the sea, the sword-light split into ten, instantly turning the surrounding sea beasts into minced meat.
After pausing for a short while, Yi Tian strengthened the formation discs on the island nodes once more and then continued flying in the direction of Ninghai City. The northern island chain had originally been fragmented by the fierce attacks of the sea tribe, but Yi Tian only spent half a day to repair most of the island chain's defenses along the way.
Although Ninghai City was no longer the core, the island chain's defenses had indeed begun to function. At least Yi Tian could rest assured that the repaired areas could temporarily block the level five sea beasts from entering the inland sea.
After slowly approaching Ninghai City's territory, Yi Tian gradually stopped and began to observe the movements on the sea below. More and more level five sea beasts were appearing here. There were even some level six sea beasts stationed near the remains of some large nodes.
Although they were all hiding under the surface of the sea, it was easy for him to find their hiding places with his Divine Sense. Now, Yi Tian did not need to clear them out one by one. Firstly, it would take time, and secondly, he was afraid of alerting those high-level shapeshifting sea beasts.
Hence, Yi Tian decisively changed his direction in the sky and quickly flew towards the northern coastline.
Along the way, he deliberately took a detour to the original location of Ninghai City. Looking at the island of Ninghai City from high up in the sky, the original buildings on the island had all been blown up. The tallest building, the City Lord's Manor, was also in ruins.
However, what made Yi Tian feel the most uneasy was that there were actually six extremely powerful auras in the original location of Ninghai City. They should be the shapeshifting sea beasts that had gathered here. It was no wonder that Ninghai City had been directly attacked.
With sea beasts of this level gathered together, even Mo Wen Tian would not be able to gain any advantage if he personally came.
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian felt that it was better to avoid them for now. He should first meet up with the White Bone Demon. Perhaps he could find some opportunity to fight from them.
The three sects of the north had set up a temporary battle preparation point in the middle section of the Dong 'ao coastline, Bolang Mountain. It was still seven to eight hundred nautical miles away from Ninghai City. However, without Ninghai City's defense, the Sea Clan could already attack the coastline from all directions.
The local mortals by the sea had already been forcibly moved to the inland area a hundred miles away. The area around the coastline had become a temporary war zone.
When Yi Tian arrived at Bolang Mountain, he saw that with the mountain as the center, there were human cultivators guarding the area that extended to the north and south for nearly a hundred miles. There were all kinds of flags erected in these areas. It seemed like the three sects of the north had also used up all their elites. In addition, they had also recruited the rogue cultivators from the aristocratic families. They had hurriedly set up a defensive formation along the two hundred miles of coastline.
After slowly flying into the headquarters of the three sects of Bolang Mountain, he discovered that the place was arranged in an orderly manner. The members of the Medicine Valley were in charge of logistics. The outside defense was formed by the White Bone Gate and the Corpse School.
Sweeping his gaze over the cultivators below, there were no less than ten Jin Dan cultivators. Some of them were even the leaders of aristocratic families. However, Yi Tian knew that this conflict had already escalated to the level of Yuanying cultivators. It was no different from a fool's dream to rely on these people below to retake Ninghai City.
Now, the most important thing to deal with was the six high-level sea beasts residing in Ninghai City. There was no lack of existences in the transformation stage among them.
When Yi Tian flew to a distance of about ten miles from the headquarters of Bolang Mountain, he suddenly saw the defensive formation on the mountain flapping a few times. Then, a hole that was about ten feet in size appeared out of thin air.
The White Bone Demon's voice could be heard from inside. "Fellow cultivator, you have sped all the way to my Bolang Mountain. You have arrived at the right time. Please come to the main hall to discuss matters."
