"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what is going on?" Luo Qian asked curiously.
Xiao Ling then recounted what had happened in the battle just now.
After hearing that Xiao Ling defeated the people sent by Yanshen Sect with twice the number of people, Luo Qian's expression was full of astonishment.
He was very clear about the strength of the affiliated forces of Yanshen Sect.
Perhaps the monks of these forces are nothing in the inner sea, but they are absolutely crushed when facing the monks from the outer sea.
This crushing is not only due to the gap in skills and resources, but also has a lot to do with the environment. The cultivators in the inner sea practice in an environment rich in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round.
In terms of the level of spiritual power, it is far greater than that of the monks in the outer sea.
If a Qi-cultivating monk from the outer sea fights with a Qi-cultivating monk from the inner sea, both of them will cast the same spell.
Then the cultivators in the outer sea must have used up their spiritual power first.
This is the difference in background brought about by the environment.
And now, Xiao Ling actually won with twice the number of people, and won a big victory. How could he not be shocked?
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I really made the right decision to invite you here this time. If other cultivators in Wangyue City heard this news, their morale would surely be greatly boosted. We should not stay here for long. Please follow me to Wangyue City first."
Luo Qian's face was full of smiles. They had already started a war with Yanshen Sect, but the war situation had not been very good.
Especially in small-scale conflicts, the monks from Wangyue City basically gained no benefits.
Xiao Ling's battle undoubtedly boosted the morale of Yanshen Sect.
Although he really wanted to ask about the specific details of the battle, it was obviously not appropriate to ask at this time.
It is very likely that Emperor Yanshen will send more people over.
In the inland sea, in a big mountain.
Master Leiyin appeared here with a group of monks. Originally, the total number of monks who went this time was as many as 30,000.
But now there are less than 20,000 left.
Many monks were also injured, most of them were gunshot wounds.
At this moment, these monks were removing bullets from themselves.
Looking at this scene, Master Leiyin's face turned gloomy.
"Where did these monks from the outer sea get these weapons?"
Master Leiyin had already heard the detailed account of the battle from the Jindan cultivator who was commanding the lower-level cultivators.
The reason they were defeated this time was entirely because of the weapons the other party was holding.
Those monks from the outer sea don’t need to consume any spiritual energy at all. They can defeat their monks just by relying on special weapons.
"I don't know. I have seen some cultivators from the outer seas before, but I have never heard of such weapons in the outer seas. Such weapons not only have a long attack range but are also powerful. It is easy to be hit if you don't have any defensive measures below the foundation building stage."
A Jindan cultivator said this while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Because the inner sea is very far away from the outer sea, and the monks in the inner sea cannot go to the outer sea at will.
Therefore, the monks in the inner sea basically don’t know the existence of Xingfengmen, let alone anything about Xingfengmen’s firearms.
After all, it has only been less than ten years since Xingfengmen was established.
Although Yanshen Sect received the information sent by True Lord Kongyou, they did not pay much attention to it, no matter how much True Lord Kongyou mentioned that Xingfeng Sect posed a great threat.
In the eyes of Emperor Yanshen, Xingfengmen is just a force in the outer sea.
Master Leiyin said, "I will report this matter to the higher authorities. You guys take a rest first."
The responsibility for this defeat did not lie with them, but rather with the monks from the outer sea who had mastered special weapons. Even if the Yanshen Sect blamed them, Master Leiyin would have a reason.
Tianji Tower was the first to receive the news about the great battle that took place at the exit of the Storm Sea.
As the largest intelligence organization in the Inner Sea, Tianji Tower will be the first to know anything that happens in the Inner Sea.
After learning about the battle situation, Tianji Tower was the first to pass the news to the major forces in the Inner Sea.
As an intelligence organization, it is natural to push popular intelligence to major forces as soon as possible, so as to establish the influence of Tianji Tower.
There are still many forces in the Inner Sea paying attention to the battle between Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City.
After all, both of these forces have ancestors who have reached the state of incarnation.
And everyone was also aware that Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City were recruiting monks from the outer sea to join the war.
Although the major superpowers have regulations that inland seas cannot interfere with outer seas.
However, the major forces will not care if people from the outer seas are willing to take the initiative to join this war.
On the contrary, they all support this kind of thing in disguise.
Because of the war between two super powers, there will inevitably be the loss of many low-level cultivators, and these low-level cultivators may be the seeds of the sect's future.
Choosing to let monks from overseas come to join the battle can also minimize the losses of their own sect.
However, when the major forces saw the information sent by Tianji Tower, they were all somewhat surprised.
Because this time it was Yanshen Sect that ambushed the foreign monks who came from Wangyue City, but the result was that Yanshen Sect suffered heavy losses.
What surprised everyone even more was that the Yanshen Sect had twice as many people as Wangyue City.
However, everyone soon noticed another note in the intelligence.
The reason why Wangyue City was able to win this battle was because the monks of Wangyue City were equipped with a special weapon called firearms. This weapon called firearms was refined by a force in the outer sea.
Tianji Tower only briefly mentioned that this force was called Xingfeng Sect, and there was no other information.
This is also a method used by Tianji Tower. If you want to obtain better information, then come to Tianji Tower to buy it.
However, some forces in the inner sea also remembered the name of Xingfengmen.
Outer sea, northern border, Xingfeng Gate.
Liu Qian was sitting in the cabinet, holding a tablet in his hand, which recorded in detail the current situation of the major branches of Xingfengmen.
At this time, Mo Chen walked in from outside: "Brother Liu, those people who were sent out have lost contact with us."
Liu Qian put away the tablet and said:
"It's normal. Our satellites cannot cover the boundary sea area. In addition, we need to pass through the storm sea area to reach the inland sea. Even if there are satellites there, the communication will be blocked due to the change of magnetic field."
"Now all we have to do is wait until they come back alive."
Mo Chen nodded, and then spoke again:
"Well, there is one more thing. The Liuli Sect just sent a message saying that people from the Yanshen Sect came to buy a batch of Liuli crystals from them. The Liuli Sect came to ask for our opinion."
Chen Feng had formed a temporary alliance at Xiao Ling's banquet last time, and he also promised that this alliance would be an offensive and defensive alliance in the future.
If it were before, the Liuli Sect would have directly sold the Liuli Crystal.
But now, the Liuli Sect has already joined Chen Feng’s alliance, so naturally it has to ask for the opinion of the Xingfeng Sect.
Liu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Let them sell it, but we have to send someone over there as well."
Liu Qian made this decision considering that Chen Feng had previously told him that he must keep a low profile during this period and not get involved in the war between Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City.
Let’s wait until Chen Feng comes back.
But in order to prevent Liuli Sect from being dealt with by Yanshen Sect, he still planned to send someone over. Mo Chen nodded: "Well, then I will send Mo Yang to take people over."
Liuli Island, Liuli Sect.
Since the Inland Sea War began, the Liuli Sect has called back all the disciples who were away, and the entire sect has entered a state of alert.
At this moment in the main hall of Liuli Sect, the faces of all the high-ranking officials of Liuli Sect were not very good.
Because there were two old men standing in the hall.
These two old men are both from Yanshen Sect and are the deacons of Yanshen Sect.
"Sect Master Qian, you should know that this is an extraordinary period. The price we are offering for one piece of Glazed Crystal is already the maximum of three high-grade Spiritual Stones."
The person who spoke was an old man with a mole between his eyebrows. He had reached the great perfection of the Golden Elixir and was a deacon of the Yanshen Sect.
This time we came to the open sea to acquire some special resources.
Now the Yanshen Sect is fighting fiercely with Wangyue City, and the consumption of various supplies is enormous.
Although the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce can quickly provide a lot of supplies, the prices offered by the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce are extremely expensive.
Therefore, Emperor Yanshenzong sent people to the outer sea to purchase it personally.
This is also due to the fact that Yanshen Sect possesses an ancient teleportation formation that allows cultivators to travel back and forth between the inner and outer seas.
"Deacon Tian, the price of Liuli Crystal has always been ten high-grade spirit stones a piece. With three high-grade spirit stones, we can't even recover the cost."
Qian Xinzi's face looked unhappy. He knew that Yanshen Sect would lower the price, but he didn't expect it to be so harsh.
This price can't even cover their costs.
Although Liuli crystals can be produced near Liuli Sect, these crystals require cultivators to dive deep into the seabed to collect them.
Deep under the sea, there are not only sea beasts lurking, but also various dangers. Because of the collection of Colored Glaze Crystals, a large number of disciples of the Colored Glaze Sect die every year.
Three high-quality spirit stones, this price is not enough to make their money back.
"Hmph, this is a special period. Doesn't Sect Master Qian intend to give face to our Yanshen Sect?" Deacon Tian said in a cold voice.
Although they only had two Jindan cultivators, they were not afraid at all when facing Liuli's dozen or so Jindan cultivators.
Because the Yanshen Sect is standing behind them, even if the Liuli Sect had ten times the courage, they would not dare to touch them.
The Liuli Sect cultivators in the field were all gnashing with hatred, but they were helpless facing the two men from the Yanshen Sect.
At this moment, a cultivator from the Liuli Sect came up to Qian Xinzi and whispered a few words.
Hearing this, Qian Xinzi was immediately delighted and said quickly, "Please come in!"
Deacon Tian looked at Qian Xinzi and said, "Sect Master Qian, now is not the time for you to deal with other things. Let's talk about the Liuli Crystal first."
Although Deacon Tian didn't know what had happened, he could tell from what Qian Xinzi had just said.
Qian Xinzi was preparing to meet other people.
Qian Xinzi ignored Deacon Tian's words and kept staring at the entrance of the hall.
Soon, Mo Yang and the people from the Xuanwu formation walked in from outside the hall.
"Sect Master Qian." Mo Yang clasped his fists towards Qian Xinzi.
Deacon Tian and the other man were a little surprised at first when they saw Mo Yang wearing power armor, because this outfit was really a bit different.
However, when they scanned with their spiritual sense and found that Mo Yang was just a mortal, they both almost thought they had seen it wrong.
The Liuli Sect actually received a mortal. What was going on?
When Qian Xinzi saw Mo Yang, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "So it's Brother Mo Yang, welcome, welcome, please find a seat for Brother Mo Yang."
Mo Yang's name is still very famous in the outer sea.
This is also because Mo Yang has been leading the Qinglong fleet to various places in the open sea during this period of time.
A cultivator from the Liuli Sect immediately prepared a chair and placed it next to Qian Xinzi.
Deacon Tian was already a little impatient: "Master Qian, don't waste time, we still have to return to the sect to report."
Qian Xinzi smiled and said, "You two may not know that our Liuli Sect has already joined the alliance established by Xingfeng Sect, and this is Captain Mo Yang of Xingfeng Sect. Now the price of our Liuli Sect's Liuli Crystals is still decided by Xingfeng Sect."
Qian Xinzi knew that since the Xingfeng Sect came, they were ready to help their Liuli Sect to resolve the matter.
"What is the meaning of Xingfengmen or non-Xingfengmen? I have never heard of it. Now I just want to know whether you are going to sell this glass crystal or not." Deacon Tian's attitude remained unchanged.
Because he had indeed never heard of any Xingfeng Gate.
As for the news about Xingfengmen, only a few senior members of Yanshen Sect knew this name.
Mo Yang spoke at this time:
"You can buy the Glazed Crystal, but you must pay the original price. Otherwise, please return it."
Mo Yang's face was very calm, and he was not afraid even when facing a Jindan cultivator.
This time when he came to Liuli Sect, he brought several three-phase bombs with him, and they also had a fleet outside, so they would not be outdone if a fight really came.
Seeing that Mo Yang, a mortal, dared to speak to him like this, Deacon Tian couldn't help but laugh:
"It's really interesting. Has your outer sea become so decadent that even mortals can interfere with the affairs of immortal cultivators? Also, how dare you, a mortal ant, talk to me?"
Deacon Tian immediately exuded a powerful spiritual power, and the pressure of a Jindan strong man directly crushed Mo Yang.
But almost at the same time, Qian Xinzi and dozens of Jindan cultivators from Liuli Sect all stood in front of Mo Yang and resolved the Jindan pressure.
Seeing this scene, Deacon Tian's face changed instantly.
He had already realized that the matter was not simple. It was extremely abnormal that so many Jindan cultivators from Liuli Sect were protecting this mortal.
"What? Are you from Liuli Sect planning to become an enemy of our Yanshen Sect?" Deacon Tian stared at Qian Xinzi with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Qian Xinzi said;
“I dare not, but Captain Mo Yang is a distinguished guest of our Liuli Sect. If you want to attack him, we will definitely stop you.”
Deacon Tian wanted to say something when another Jindan cultivator from Yanshen Sect stopped him and began to communicate with him.
Deacon Tian's expression first changed from shock to disbelief.
Finally, he looked at Mo Yang and said:
"Your family is truly extraordinary. Let's keep the price of the colored glaze crystal as it is."
Hearing this, the cultivators of Liuli Sect were all confused. No one expected that Deacon Tian, who had been so powerful just now, would say this.
Mo Yang was also a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. It would be best if he could avoid taking action.
Now is not the time for them to have a head-on conflict with Yanshen Sect.
Qian Xinzi looked at Deacon Tian and asked, "Are you serious, Deacon Tian?"
In fact, Qian Xinzi was also a little surprised. He had been struggling with the idea of what choice their Liuli Sect should make if the Xingfeng Sect and the Yanshen Sect fought each other.
But the result was unexpected. Not only did they not take action, the people from Yanshen Sect actually took a step back on their own initiative.
"Master Qian, would I lie to you? We can make the deal now." Although Deacon Tian was talking to Qian Xinzi, his eyes were always on Mo Yang.
The reason why he chose to take a step back was because he received a message from the sect, the most important one of which was about the great battle in the Inner Sea.
The weapons of Xingfengmen played a key role in that war.
The top leaders of Yanshen Sect personally told them to investigate the Xingfeng Sect carefully and try not to conflict with the Xingfeng Sect. (End of this chapter)
