Off the coast, Moonlight Island.

This is a third-level island in the open sea.

Because it produces a refining material called moonstone, it is well-known among the third-level islands in the outer sea.

And this island is controlled by a force called Yuehuamen.

The Yuehua Sect is mainly composed of female practitioners, who practice a special technique called Zha Nu Gong.

This technique is very effective in refining moonstone, and the female practitioners of Yuehua Sect rely on refining and selling moonstone to maintain the operation of the sect.

At this moment, on a mountain peak on Moonlight Island, there were three women standing here.

These three women all had stunning looks, but at the moment, all three of them had sad looks on their faces.

"Senior Sister, don't we have any other solution?" The speaker was the youngest woman among the three.

She has reached the early stage of the Golden Core stage, and has a red mole between her eyebrows, making her look like a delicate and pretty girl.

The beautiful woman standing between the three people smiled bitterly and said:
"What other options are there? The Great Zhou is not something we can contend with."

This beautiful woman was none other than the beautiful woman who had spoken to Luo Ming in the Luo clan hall a few days ago, and was also the current leader of the Yuehua Sect.

"Can the Xingfeng Sect deal with the Great Zhou? I heard that there are more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators coming from the Great Zhou this time." The youngest woman questioned.

"Junior Sister Qianqian, I'm afraid we have no other choice except the Xingfeng Sect. All the disciples in our sect are female cultivators. If the people from the Great Zhou come, I'm afraid they will do more than just rob us."

Standing on the left, a woman in a green robe spoke sadly.

"But Senior Sister Qiong, we still don't know whether the Xingfeng Sect can deal with the Great Zhou." The woman named Qianqian was still very hesitant.

At this time, the beautiful woman standing in the middle spoke:
"Okay, you don't have to argue anymore. There is still one day left before the day to reply to Chief Luo. Let's wait one more day and see what other forces choose."

The green-robed woman said, "That's the only way."

At this moment, a sound transmission note suddenly flew past from a distance.

The beautiful woman waved her right hand and the sound transmission talisman flew into her hand. After hearing the contents inside, her face changed instantly.

When the other two women saw their leader's expression, they immediately understood that something must have happened.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" the woman named Qianqian asked nervously.

The beautiful woman said in a trembling voice:

"The spies in Kongyou City sent news that the people from the Great Zhou have already set out from Kongyou City. One of their teams is heading towards us, led by two Nascent Soul cultivators."

Upon hearing this, the two women turned pale.

In their Yuehua Sect, the three girls have the highest cultivation level, and the highest is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Not to mention two Nascent Soul cultivators, even if there was only one, they would not be able to defeat him.

"Two junior sisters, go and gather the disciples on the island to begin evacuating immediately. Take away everything that can be taken away, and leave behind anything that cannot be taken away!" The beautiful woman hurriedly began to give orders.

The two women nodded immediately, then turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

Two thousand miles away from Moonlight Island, there was a Dharma ship flying rapidly.

On this Dharma ship stood hundreds of cultivators, all of whom were from the Han family of the Great Zhou.

The Han family is one of the aristocratic families of the Great Zhou.

The Han family came to the Southern Region this time naturally for the Holy Emperor Order.

After receiving the call from the third prince, everyone in the Han family responded immediately.

Of course, they would not miss the opportunity to plunder resources from the open sea.

Among the Han family cultivators standing on the magic ship, the one with the weakest aura has the cultivation base of the late foundation building stage, and there are more than thirty Jindan-level cultivators.

The two old men in the lead were cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Standing on the left, a short old man spoke:
"Brother, His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked us to follow him to the outer sea. I'm afraid he wants to win over our Han family."

Another obese old man sneered and said:
"The Third Prince is still too young. Does he think that this little bit of profit will make our Han family support him? If it involves the internal fighting of the royal family, our Han family cannot take sides too early."

While the two were talking, a monk hurriedly came up to them and said respectfully:

"Reporting to the two elders, I just received news that the monks on Moonlight Island seem to have received the news and they are now evacuating."

Hearing this, the fat old man sneered: "You are well-informed, but how far can a mere third-level force go? Let the magic ship increase its speed to the maximum!"

As the fat old man finished his words, the light on the three magic ships immediately became brighter.

In just a moment, the speed of the three magic ships increased to the extreme.

Somewhere in the open sea, the people of Yuehua Sect were escaping on a magic ship.

But their speed was obviously very slow. After all, they were just a force from the outer sea, and the magic ships they used were not even magic weapons.

There are more than five hundred disciples in the entire Yuehua Sect.

At this moment, these people all looked worried.

These disciples naturally already knew the news that a powerful enemy was invading.

Moreover, the enemy comes from the Great Zhou in the Inner Sea. Facing such a behemoth, their Yuehua Sect is simply not capable of resisting.

On one of the Dharma ships, three women from the Yuehua Sect were gathered together to discuss.

"Big sister, according to the latest news, the people who came to our Yuehua Sect are from the Han family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They should have arrived at Moonlight Island by now. I'm afraid they will catch up with us soon."

The woman named Qiong who was speaking was holding a sound transmission talisman in her hand.

The woman named Qianqian said, "Catch us? How do they know our evacuation route?"

The beautiful woman among the three, who was also the leader of Yuehua Sect, smiled bitterly and said, "Qianqian, we can know their movements, but can't they know our movements? Don't forget Kongyou City, there must be people from Kongyou City among our disciples."

Hearing this, the woman named Qianqian showed anger on her face and said viciously:
"Damn Kongyou City, they actually aided and abetted the evil. That True Lord Kongyou is unworthy of being my Yuanying senior from the outer sea. I used to respect him so much!"

The woman surnamed Qiong said self-deprecatingly: "In front of a behemoth like the Great Zhou, let alone one Kongyou City, even ten of them would probably surrender."

"Senior Sister, what should we do now?" The woman surnamed Qiong looked at the beautiful woman.

She knew very well that with the speed of their magic ship, it would not take long for the Han family to catch up with them.

"I'll contact Chief Luo and see if he has any solution." The beautiful woman took out a satellite phone from her storage ring.

The woman surnamed Qiong frowned:
"Sister, even if we agree to the conditions of Xingfeng Sect now, Xingfeng Sect is so far away from us, can they help us?"

Moonlight Island is an island on the edge of the outer sea, and is located at the exact opposite corner from Yuelong Island where Xingfeng Gate is located.

With such a long distance, even if Xingfengmen sent people to support as soon as possible, it would probably be too late.

"No matter what, we have to try. This matter is not my fault. I shouldn't have hesitated. If the Han family really catches up with us, you two sisters should take the disciples away first, and I will stay behind to cover you!"

A look of determination appeared on the beautiful woman's face.

"Senior Sister, how can this be possible? If you want to leave, let's go together." The woman named Qiong's face changed.

The woman named Qianqian beside her also spoke up hastily: "That's right, if you want to go, let's go together."

The beautiful woman sighed and said, "Well, I'll contact Chief Luo first."

The beautiful woman started making a call immediately.

Nowadays, almost all major forces in the outer seas have some satellite phones.

Because satellite phones have been popular in the offshore area for a long time. The emergence of satellite phones has also made it convenient for many forces in the offshore area to communicate with each other.

After a while, the call was connected, and Luo Ming's voice came from it:
"Master Du? You contacted me this time. Have you thought it over?"

"Chief Luo, my Yuehua Sect agrees to the conditions you proposed before. Please help us." The beautiful woman said anxiously.

Luo Ming on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned: "Master Du, is there something wrong with you?"

The beautiful woman did not hide anything and immediately told the story of the Han family's attack.

After hearing what the beautiful woman said, Luo Ming's voice became a little serious:
"I didn't expect that the people from the Great Zhou would arrive so quickly. Master Du, take your people to Yuelong Island now. We will send someone to pick you up."

The beautiful woman was delighted when she heard this, but soon her expression darkened again:

"Patriarch Luo, you may not know that the Han family is chasing us right now. With the speed of our ship, we may be caught up by them before we even reach Yuelong Island!"

"Don't worry, just do as I say. The Han family won't catch up with you." Luo Ming's firm voice came.

Hearing this, the beautiful woman was immediately confused: "What does Patriarch Luo mean by this?"

Luo Ming smiled and said, "We will help you stop them."

After hearing this, the beautiful woman was still confused, but she also understood that Luo Ming didn't want to say more.

"In that case, thank you, Chief Luo."

The call was quickly hung up, and the beautiful woman looked thoughtful.

The woman named Qiong next to her said, "Senior Sister, what did Patriarch Luo say?"

The beautiful woman then repeated Luo Ming's words.

After hearing what the beautiful lady said, the woman named Qiong and the other woman were all surprised.

"Aren't the people from Xingfeng Sect in Yuelong Island and the Black Sea? There are no people from Xingfeng Sect near our Moonlight Island." The woman named Qianqian said in surprise.

“I don’t know, but since Chief Luo said so, we can only place our hopes on the Xingfeng Clan.”

The beautiful woman sighed and then stopped talking.

Six hundred kilometers away from Yuehua Gate.

The Han family’s three magic ships are moving forward rapidly.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Han family were talking in a low voice, and both of them looked relaxed.

This is no wonder. With their cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage, they can almost walk sideways in the open sea. Naturally, they don't need to worry about anything.

"Brother, this female cultivator from Yuehua Sect is running pretty fast. If our Han family didn't need a large number of furnaces, I really wouldn't want to waste time chasing her. We passed by quite a few level 3 islands along the way."

The short old man spoke.

The fat old man said, "Those are not important. Our Han family's skills are inherited from the Hehuan Demon Sect in the Western Regions, so we must have enough furnaces and tripods. Although the resources on other third-level islands are not bad, their value is far less than those of the female cultivators of Yuehua Sect."

The short old man nodded in agreement: "It's a pity that we are restricted by the dynasty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, otherwise with the strength of our Han family, we can definitely become a first-class family."

At this moment, the fat old man's expression suddenly changed.

The short old man saw the fat old man's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, brother?"

The fat old man used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings. After seeing nothing unusual, he spoke:
"I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."

The short old man didn't care at all: "Brother, you worry too much. This is the outer sea. We in the Nascent Soul stage are not invincible in the outer sea, but there are only a handful of people who can hurt us."

The fat old man looked solemn;
"Have you forgotten the mysterious treasure that Master Kongyou mentioned before? That is a treasure that can kill a Yuanying cultivator in seconds!"

"Brother, you don't really believe it, do you? I don't believe there is such a treasure in this world. Besides..."

However, the short old man had not yet finished speaking.

In the sky, three streams of light were seen flying towards them at an extremely fast speed.

The speed of these three streams of light was incredibly fast, even exceeding the escape speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The other Han family cultivators on the magic ship didn't notice anything at all.

But the two fat old men were the first to sense it with their spiritual sense.

The spiritual awareness of the early Nascent Soul stage can cover a range of hundreds of kilometers.

Through the two people's spiritual exploration, they could clearly see what the three streams of light falling from the sky were.

Those were three huge golden cylinders!

The stream of light was the tail flame coming out from behind the three huge cylinders.

"What is this?" The fat old man looked surprised.

He scanned the three cylinders carefully with his spiritual sense and found that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in these three cylinders, but their speed was so fast!

"Quick, open the protective formation!" the fat old man shouted.

Then, he soared into the sky and headed towards the three cylinders that were about to fall from the sky.

Seeing this, the short old man also turned into a beam of light and followed.

Although the Han family members on the magic ship did not understand what was happening, they still opened the magic ship's formation at an extremely fast speed.

The three Dharma ships lit up blue light shields almost at the same time.

And in the sky, the two fat old men had already reached an altitude of several hundred meters.

At this moment they could see the three falling cylinders more clearly!
The fat old man waved his right hand, and a wooden shield appeared in his hand.

As soon as the wooden shield appeared, it became a hundred feet in size, blocking the two people.

"Brother, why bother taking out the fake spiritual treasure? You and I can just block it directly!"

When the short old man saw the fat old man directly take out the fake spiritual treasure, he felt that it was an overreaction.

The fat old man said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless, this thing is not simple!"

For some reason, the fat old man felt more and more uneasy. If it weren't for the Han family members below, he might have turned around and left without hesitation.

After all, the three cylinders flying from the sky were very fast.

But with his Nascent Soul level escape speed, he was still able to escape.

But below are the children of their Han family, many of whom are geniuses of their Han family, and they have come here specifically to train with them.

It was impossible for him to ignore the Han family just because he felt uneasy.

The short old man disagreed.

The spiritual light on his body suddenly became brighter, and the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth was immediately mobilized by him.

"Brother, let me take action!"

After saying that, the short old man went towards the three cylinders falling from above his head.

With the blessing of the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, the aura of the short old man reached its peak at this moment.

The fat old man wanted to stop it but it was too late.

Because the three cylinders have already fallen! (End of this chapter)
