"Your Highness, don't be careless. I heard that the Second Prince went to visit the Xingfeng Gate. If the Xingfeng Gate was really that simple, the Second Prince would not have gone to visit in person."

The old eunuch standing next to Nangong Li gave a reminder.

The scholar surnamed Mu nodded and said, "Eunuch Li is right. We should be more cautious about the Xingfeng Sect. Not to mention the special treasure of the Xingfeng Sect, the demon beast that has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul is quite powerful."

Nangong Li saw that the two Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators were so wary of the Xingfeng Sect, so he no longer looked down on it and spoke instead:
"We can talk about the Xingfeng Sect after we get there. Fellow Daoist Mu, you can take your people to Emerald Island first and ask the people there to help search. As for Fellow Daoist Hua, you can take your people to search in the Jiehai area. The rest of you can follow me to Kongyou City."

Nangong Li turned around and began to make arrangements.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the field naturally had no objection to Nangong Li's arrangements.

They came to the open sea to plunder, and followed Nangong Li for a title.

A moment later, the magic ships docked at the exit of the storm sea began to disperse.

As this group of people dispersed, in less than a day, many forces in the boundary sea area were the first to suffer.

The Yin Gui Clan is in charge of the boundary sea area. Although there are only more than a hundred people, there are twenty-three Jindan cultivators and three Yuanying cultivators.

Such a lineup is simply not something that the forces in the Boundary Sea can resist.

The Yin Gui Clan itself is a demonic force that excels at extracting souls and refining ghosts.

Even if some forces in the sea area surrendered, they were still wiped out.

In the entire sea area, only the Alliance of Loose Cultivators survived the disaster.

This is because the Loose Cultivator Alliance has a certain relationship with the Beast Taming Sect in the Inner Sea. Although the Yin Gui Sect is powerful, it also wants to offend the Beast Taming Sect.

The news that many forces in the boundary sea area were wiped out and looted also spread to all parts of the outer sea at an extremely fast speed.

After receiving this news, many islands in the outer sea fell into panic.

Many forces also activated the protective formations on their respective islands and summoned all their disciples and followers who were outside.

Although the boundary sea area is on the edge of the open sea, with the opponent's means, it will probably not take long for them to reach their side.

Three days later.

Off the coast of Yuelong Island, Luo family, in the main peak hall.

At this moment, about 80% of the forces from the outer sea gathered in the Luo family hall.

The total number of people is nearly seventy, almost all of them are Jindan cultivators.

"Master Luo, those people from the Inner Sea have turned the Boundary Sea area upside down. I'm afraid it won't be long before they come to our side."

"Yes, I heard that several large islands in the Jiehai area were massacred. Those people used the name of investigating the disappearance of the eldest princess to do it. It's simply abominable!"

"In this situation, we must unite together, otherwise the fate of those forces in the boundary sea area will be our tomorrow."

''
Everyone in the hall was speaking with indignation. Although many of them were extremely fearful, they were mostly filled with anger.

Luo Ming looked at the people below and sighed:

"Even if we unite together, we are no match for them. You may not know that they are not cultivators from a simple force in the Inner Sea. They are all from the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Eastern Region. There are more than a dozen Yuanying cultivators coming this time. Do you think we can defeat them?"

Hearing this, everyone in the field turned pale.

They didn't know about this news, and Luo Ming was able to know it because of the help of Xingfengmen's intelligence system.

"More than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators? Doesn't the Cultivation Alliance care?" The head of a small force was filled with horror.

The main reason why the outer sea has been peaceful for so many years is the regulations of the Cultivation Alliance.

High-level monks from the inner sea cannot come to the outer sea at will.

But now, more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators have come here, and the Cultivation Alliance has not made any move, which makes everyone a little panicked.

"Control? They can already reach the open sea. If the Cultivation Alliance wanted to control it, they would have done so a long time ago." Someone snorted.

Many people felt a little desperate at this moment.

Let alone a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators, even if there was only one Nascent Soul cultivator, that was not something that the overseas forces like them could compare to.

In a third-level force like theirs, the highest level of cultivators is only at the Golden Core stage.

Compared with Nascent Soul cultivators, they are not on the same level at all.

"Have you notified Senior Kongyou and Senior Xiao?" asked a Jindan cultivator sitting at the bottom.

An old man with wrinkles on his face said:
"I got the news that the group of people have gone to Kongyou City, but Kongyou City has not made any moves. It is obvious that Kongyou City has either reached a cooperation with those people or chose to surrender."

After these words were spoken, everyone was completely in despair.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivators in their outer seas have surrendered to the other side, what else can these small forces like them do?

"Why don't we surrender? As long as they don't kill our followers and disciples, it won't matter if we lose some training resources." The owner of a level-three island suggested cautiously.

"Impossible! If we give all the cultivation resources to them, we will only exist in name only. There are not many cultivation resources in the outer sea. Without cultivation resources, how can we train the next generation of disciples!"

This proposal was immediately refuted by others.

For a moment, all the monks in the hall expressed their opinions.

One side advocated war, the other side advocated surrender, and the quarrel could not be stopped at all.

"Enough!" Luo Ming's cold voice rang out in the field.

This made everyone stop talking immediately.

Everyone turned their eyes to Luo Ming.

Today, the Luo clan is already one of the top three forces in the outer sea, and all the other forces will still give them face.

Luo Ming took a deep breath and said, "Surrender is impossible. Our Luo clan will not hand over all our savings over the years to others. If we hand it over this time, then next time someone comes from the inner sea, we will have to hand it over as well!"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall fell into silence.

"Although those people from the Great Zhou are powerful, there are still people in our outer sea who can deal with them. Have you forgotten about the Xingfeng Sect?" Luo Ming glanced at everyone and spoke.

An island owner said in surprise: "Chief Luo, is Xingfeng Sect willing to take action against those people?"

Many people's eyes lit up at this moment.

If we talk about the number one force in the outer sea now, it is undoubtedly the Xingfeng Sect.

However, Xingfengmen seldom cares about matters in the outer seas, and basically develops in the Black Sea and Yingzhou.

They had also gone to Xingfengmen before, but Xingfengmen had no intention of doing anything about it.

Luo Ming spoke in a deep voice:
"I'm sure you all know how powerful the Great Zhou is. Even the Xingfeng Sect can't defeat them, let alone help you."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed disappointment.

But Luo Ming changed the subject at this time: "However, I have a suggestion. If you can agree, it can not only make your forces safe, but at least it can help you survive this crisis."

"What's the proposal? Chief Luo, please tell me quickly."

"That's right. Time is running out. I'm afraid those people from the Great Zhou are almost here."

"No matter what the conditions are, as long as they can preserve our heritage, I can agree to them!"

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Luo Ming and Jian Wuji looked at each other and smiled.

Luo Ming said:
"It's very simple. As long as you all agree to obey the orders of Xingfeng Sect from now on, and also hand over 30% of your income to Xingfeng Sect every year, I can use this condition to ask Xingfeng Sect to protect us."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically.

"It's absolutely impossible to hand over 30% of the profits every year!" "We can accept the first condition, but the second one is absolutely not acceptable!"

"Patriarch Luo, our Cangqing Qingdao has few spiritual veins. The annual income from spiritual stones is only enough to support the cultivation of our disciples. If we hand over 30% of the income, we will not be able to maintain the operation of the sect."

"."

For a moment, everyone objected.

Luo Ming looked at the scene coldly, and then said:

"I just told you the conditions. Whether you agree or not is up to you. Anyway, my Luo tribe has already planned to do so."

A leader of a third-level faction couldn't help but ask:
"Chief Luo, Xingfeng Sect is the most powerful force in our outer seas. It is reasonable for us to maintain the order and stability of our outer seas. Now that a powerful enemy has invaded, Xingfeng Sect has taken the opportunity to blackmail us. Aren't they afraid of being spurned by their peers in the outer seas?"

This time, before Luo Ming could answer, Jian Wuji sneered:

"Master Ke, what you said sounds good. Since Master Ke cares so much about our fellow practitioners in the outer sea, Master Ke, take everyone in your sect to fight against those people from the Great Zhou. I will support you with a batch of spirit stones."

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Ke who had spoken before suddenly turned extremely ugly.

I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Jian Wuji continued, "Humph, if you want to use the title of the No. 1 force in the outer sea to kidnap the Xingfeng Sect, forget it. We are all cultivators. Don't we know that everything in the cultivation world is determined by interests? If you don't want to, you can just wait for the people from the Great Zhou to come to you. I don't want to say more."

Luo Ming then added:
"Everyone, this time it was not Xingfeng Sect that asked us to do so, but we took the initiative to ask for help from Xingfeng Sect. Could it be that we would allow Xingfeng Sect to protect us without paying any price?"

Everyone in the hall fell into silence again.

At this time, a beautiful woman stood up and said with a smile:

"Master Jian and everyone else, don't get angry. We are here to discuss how to deal with this crisis. We must not hurt the relationship."

"The proposal of Patriarch Luo and Sect Master Jian is also for the good of all of us. However, this matter is of great importance. How about we give you two a reply in three days?"

The others were silent upon hearing this, obviously agreeing with the beautiful woman's proposal.

Luo Ming nodded: "Of course there is no problem with this. This matter is indeed of great importance. You all need to return to your respective forces to discuss it. Fellow Swordsman and I will wait for three days."

"Then I will come to visit you again in three days." After the beautiful woman said this, she turned into a beam of light and left.

The others quickly left upon seeing this, but everyone who left looked unhappy.

In just a moment, Luo Ming and Jian Wuji were the only ones left in the hall.

Jian Wuji looked at Luo Ming and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, do you think they will agree?"

Luo Ming smiled slightly: "Definitely."

"Why?" Jian Wuji asked in surprise.

"Even if they don't agree after three days, they will agree when the people from the Great Zhou arrive. As for their surrender to the Great Zhou, it is even more impossible. Will those people from the Great Zhou care about a small force like us?"

"Yeah, that's true. However, the people of the Great Zhou are indeed too arrogant." Speaking of the Great Zhou, Jian Wuji's face showed resentment.

"In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. If we were strong enough, they would never dare to come to the outer sea." Luo Ming sighed helplessly.

Jian Wuji said: "Then I will inform the sect disciples and ask them to go to the Black Sea first."

"Well, go ahead. I will also contact Manager Liu later." Luo Ming nodded.

The reason why Luo Ming and Jian Wuji summoned all the major forces from the outer sea to discuss things this time was because they received instructions from Liu Qian.

Both the Luo Clan and the Wenjian Sect had already become vassals of the Xingfeng Clan.

Liu Qian would naturally not help these forces from outside the sea for nothing. The Xingfeng Sect now not only needs people, but also resources.

Liu Qian also wanted to use this incident to completely allow the Xingfeng Sect to take control of the outer sea.

Yingzhou, the edge.

After several days' journey, Nangong Wanyue and others have arrived at the edge of Yingzhou.

Looking at the land ahead, Nangong Wanyue's face was full of anticipation.

Along the way, she learned a lot about the Wind Gate from Beaver.

This made her even more curious about the Xingfeng Gate.

Now that she had finally arrived in Yingzhou, she naturally wanted to know what the northern border looked like.

Through various intelligence, she learned that the Northern Territory is different from any other place in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are many things there that are not currently found in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Your Highness, I can only send you here. Someone else will pick you up later." Beaver spoke to Nangong Wanyue at this time.

Nangong Wanyue asked in surprise: "Isn't Elder Beaver coming with us?"

Hai Li shook his head: "I am only responsible for the Black Sea. I am not responsible for the Yingzhou area."

Nangong Wanyue nodded after hearing this: "In that case, Elder Beaver can go and get busy first. Thank you for your company these days."

Nangong Wanyue then returned to her own Dharma ship with Wu Lanfei.

But just as the French ship was about to leave, Beaver, who was standing on the deck of the aerospace carrier, suddenly spoke up:
"By the way, Second Prince, I just received a message that I think I need to tell you."

Nangong Wanyue was startled: "What news?"

Hai Li showed a half-smile on his face and said, "The third prince of your Great Zhou has brought thousands of cultivators to the outer sea a few days ago. On the day he arrived, many forces in the boundary sea area were wiped out."

After that, Beaver didn't say anything else.

The aerospace carrier immediately turned around and headed towards the Black Sea at an extremely fast speed.

Nangong Wanyue, who was standing on the Dharma ship, suddenly looked very ugly after hearing the news. She looked at Wu Lan beside her and asked:
"Didn't the sound transmission note arrive?"

Wu Lan immediately said, "The sound transmission note was sent a long time ago, and the Third Prince should have received it a long time ago."

Wu Lan didn't say much, but it was obvious that the third prince did not listen to Nangong Wanyue.

As for contacting the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would take at least a month for the order from the Holy Emperor of Great Zhou to be issued.

Da Zhou is very far away from the open sea.

Xiao Ling, who was standing by, was also shocked when he heard the news.

Xiao Ling did not think Hai Li's words were false. With the intelligence capabilities of Xing Feng Men, they could know what happened in the outer sea at the first time.

At this moment, Xiao Ling was a little worried about his Emerald Island.

Without him in charge, Emerald Island would be in trouble if it was targeted by people from the Great Zhou.

"Your Highness, are we still going to the North?" Wu Lan asked in a low voice.

She could see that Nangong Wanyue was in a bad mood.

Originally, they came to visit Xingfeng Sect, but the Third Prince came directly with his men and destroyed many forces in the outer seas.

If the Third Prince came into conflict with Xingfeng Gate when they arrived there, then what was the point of their visit?

"Go back, I'll go see him!" Nangong Wanyue's voice was a little cold.

She rarely gets angry, but this time she was really angry.

Wu Lan nodded, and then began to make hand gestures with her hands.

Suddenly, the originally calm Dharma ship shone brightly, and its speed increased to the extreme in an instant.

In just a moment, the Dharma ship turned into a white rainbow and disappeared into the black sea. (End of this chapter)
