The enormous Sun of Creation stood high in the sky, and under its shining light, an enormous fleet was slowly sailing toward the west.
Li Xiao sat in the spacious main ship. This time, he was the leader of this expedition.
King Xi trusted him not because his strength and magic power were better than others, but because he had once led the attack on dozens of sects. He was one of the few people who could organize the upper echelons and use them rationally.
The most important thing was his loyalty. Ever since he was captured, he had followed King Xi's maternal family for hundreds of years. Therefore, even though he had lost the lives of three Creation Realm cultivators, King Xi didn't intend to punish him and still entrusted him with important tasks.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as a Creator Alchemist walked over. After looking at him, the Creator Alchemist sat down on a nearby seat and asked, "Master Li, if the 'Zongzi' doesn't die after breaking through the city, he will definitely be handed over to His Highness King Xi for punishment. But what about those Celestials? These Celestials don't fear death. If they are allowed to escape, I'm afraid that they will spread endless poison. "
Li Xiao said, "As for those Celestials, I've already seen them. Even if they come back from the dead, most of them will be in their original territories. As long as we surround the entire Mianlu City and set up a blockade, even if we can't kill them, we can still trap them here."
The Daoist cultivator said, "Trap and lock?" He was surprised. "Master Li, you mean to say that we won't attack first, but instead surround them?"
Li Xiao said, "Yes. His strategy is not to attack quickly, but to surround and press in layer by layer until the Daoist cultivator who controls the sword is forced to fight with us. "
The Daoist cultivator hesitated. "Will King Xi agree to this?
Li Xiao said, "Since His Highness has handed the entire fleet to me, I naturally have the right to make the decision!"
Although it was costly to do so, it could solve the problem once and for all. Otherwise, if those Celestials were to disperse, the damage and trouble they would cause in the future would be even greater.
He looked ahead and said, "At this rate, we will reach Mianlu in seven days." He said to his subordinates, "Tell them to be careful along the way and be on guard against any enemy attacks."
The Creation Realm cultivator was surprised. "Master Li, are you saying that the other side will dare to attack us?"
Li Xiao said, "Although I don't think he has the guts, as long as there's a possibility, we have to be prepared."
The creator nodded. On the surface, he seemed to agree with him, but in private, he secretly laughed. He thought that he was being too careful. With their army, with the power of the Mianlu City, they were probably hiding in the city. Who would dare to come out and fight them?
At this moment, in the northern Lie King's territory, it only took two days for Lie King to deliver more than a thousand modified transport ships to Lin Ling and the others. These ships were not only fast, but they were also loaded with large amounts of Lie Crystals.
These creator-level weapons were enough to start a war. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, none of the items could be brought back. For Lie King to be willing to pay so much at once, it was quite generous.
Along with these ships was a Daoist cultivator surnamed Pei sent by Lie King. This person claimed that he would escort them all the way until they got close to King Xi's fleet.
After Lin Ling and the rest of the thousand plus people had all changed to transport airships, they sped up and headed from the north to the west. Looking from the Heaven Domain, one could see that the fleet had drawn an arc in the sky above the continent. On the fifth day, they finally caught up with the huge fleet that was moving forward.
The moment they saw the fleet, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. They weren't worried about themselves, but they were afraid that something would happen at the last step of the collision and waste this good opportunity.
Lin Ling became more and more excited. His eyes shone as he looked at the fleet in front of him. However, contrary to his excitement, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
After discussing with the people around him, he decided to target the warships and transport-carrying airships this time.
Because these ships weren't gathered together, they were scattered in groups. In order to destroy these creator-level weapons as much as possible, they would bombard them from different directions. However, this was a great test for Daoist Pei who was protecting them.
Daoist Pei smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry. Since I'm here, I have full confidence. As long as the fleet doesn't get too close, there won't be a problem."
Lin Ling said, "Okay, I'll leave it to Daoist Pei." After the arrangements were made in the Heaven Rebuking Seal, the boats also spread out in an orderly manner, and slowly moved closer to the huge fleet.
The light from the Solar Star of Creation fell, but their fleet seemed to be covered by an air curtain that was as cool as water and did not reveal any traces. The patrolling flying boats around could even be seen brushing past them, but they did not notice them at all.
In order to ensure that they didn't reveal their tracks, the speed of the ships was slower. In their eyes, they felt like they were moving forward bit by bit.
When they were more than a hundred miles away from the edge of the fleet, Daoist Pei said, "Everyone, I can only escort you to this point. If we go any further, we might be discovered by them. I need to retreat first and report to Lie King. You'll have to rely on yourselves for the rest."
Lin Ling bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Daoist Pei."
Daoist Pei smiled and said, "My spiritual power can last for another hundred breaths of time, but I might be exposed at any time. However, I think if you're lucky, you can still achieve some results. Everyone, goodbye." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Lin Ling saw him leave and turned to look at Shi Yanxin who was standing on the side.
He suddenly realized that Daoist Pei didn't say a word to Shi Yanxin from the beginning to the end, nor did he look at Shi Yanxin. It didn't seem like he was arrogant and looked down on Shi Yanxin, but it was as if he didn't see him at all. He was very curious about this, but he didn't have the time to ask. He only said, "Senior Shi?"
Shi Yanxin said quietly, "You can go forward. Leave everything to me."
Lin Ling got the assurance and felt a lot more assured. He shouted in the Xuntian Dao Zhang, "Everyone, follow me!" Following his shout, more than a thousand people responded in unison. His flying ship leaped out of the fleet and led the way.
Everyone immediately started to drive the flying ship with all their might and followed him forward. They had worked together once before, and the Xuntian Dao Zhang could make them look like a whole. Looking from above, these thousands of flying ships were like sharp arrows, piercing the soft belly of the fleet at an extremely fast speed!
At this moment, a Daoist cultivator surnamed Zhen on the left side of the fleet suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked up at the Creator Solar Star and then looked to the side. He felt that the spiritual power in that direction seemed to be missing a piece.
He reached out and took a spell and glanced at that place. At first, he didn't feel anything. However, as he looked carefully, he realized that a layer of fog seemed to have been peeled off. Many fleets vaguely appeared inside.
His expression changed. Because he had participated in the attack of the Mianlu City, he still remembered the scene of the "Celestial Beings" hitting the pass with flying ships. Now, this scene immediately reminded him of it. He immediately shouted and spread the message through the spiritual power. At the same time, he flew out of the flying ship and waved his sleeve at the fleet.
Like the thick turbid fog being blown away, more than a thousand flying ships of various sizes appeared in front of him and were rapidly approaching. They seemed to be very close to the fleet, but they were only getting closer and didn't collide with it. This was the difference between heaven and earth. He sneered and pushed forward with his spiritual power.
Under the impact of the earth-shattering magic power, these flying boats rumbled and broke apart, erupting with huge light and raging flames. However, at this time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The energy waves and light waves that erupted did not cause the slightest impact on him.
Daoist Zhen suddenly realized that something was wrong. He immediately reacted and turned his head to look in another direction. He also waved his sleeve in that direction. There was a wave of ripples in the atmosphere, and there was a fleet that was exactly the same as the one he saw just now.
This time, he didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he made a spell, and his spirit flew out. He jumped into the sky in a flash and swept his gaze down.
He thought that he should be deceived by some kind of illusion. Illusions may be difficult to distinguish in a certain area, but once it was in a wider range, it could be found.
At this moment, he could see that on the right edge of the fleet, a boundary between reality and illusion clearly appeared in front of him. It expanded outward with a point as the center, showing a wide arc. The enemy must be hiding there and must come from that direction!
He immediately issued a command to the entire flying ship, but at this time, the entire fleet suddenly became chaotic.
As it turned out, he wasn't the only one who had issued the orders. There were other cultivators on the fleet as well, and each of their orders were different and contradictory. As a result, the fleet was at a complete loss as to what to do.
He was startled and hurriedly asked with his spiritual voice. Only then did he find out that the others had made the same judgment as him. However, the scene that everyone saw was different.
Only then did he realize that the "truth" he saw might not necessarily be true. So which one was real and which one was an illusion?
Where was the real fleet? Or was there such a fleet at all? Perhaps everything was just an illusion that he had seen?
He couldn't make a move rashly for a while.
Because if the illusory changes only targeted him, it might be better, but when many people gathered together, especially when the composition of the people on one side was extremely complicated, he couldn't make a move at all. Because maybe the enemy he thought was actually one of his own people, and what was worse was that his own people might also treat him as an enemy at this moment.
Just when he was trying to figure out the truth from the illusion, his heart suddenly palpitated. Then, he saw a soft and bright brilliance suddenly blooming in front of him!
