Chapter 223 Coastal Defense
"when--"

The seventh bell ringing was within Fang Chen's expectations. The two major sects certainly did not want Ye Qingyang's behavior to cause more discussion.

If everyone imitates Ye Qingyang, it will not be so easy for the two major sects to prevent the birth of new Jindan cultivators in the future.

What's more, there are three variables: Longjia, Ye Qingyang and Tianyu.

The other cultivators at the scene had already understood the tactics of the two major sects by this time, and they all quieted down after the bell rang.

The main reason is that the sound of the bell has the power to soothe emotions. Once the bell rings, there is indeed no desire to continue the conversation.

"The second deputy leader, Long Jia, must be very unfamiliar to all of you present. In fact, you should have heard of him a little bit."

After everyone fell silent, True Lord Feiyun took over the conversation and began to introduce the Dragon Armor to everyone.

Just by listening to the previous few sentences, Fang Chen understood that they knew Long Jia's true identity, or at least knew that Long Jia was a demon tribe that originally entrenched in the Lianyun Mountains.

Contrary to his impression, the cultivation world did not have any ill will towards the demon race.

After all, we are all intelligent races. If we have wisdom, we can sit down and talk, instead of relying solely on force to solve everything.

There are even many cases of humans and demons combining with each other. The offspring born from the two are born with human wisdom and can also draw on the powerful bloodline of the demons. They are a kind of people with outstanding talents.

As expected, True Lord Feiyun continued to introduce: "You fellow Daoists may still remember the golden elixir monster that originally entrenched in the third-order spiritual vein of Lianyun Mountain Range, that was Daoist Fellow Longjia.

“Some time ago, a demon cultivator broke into the Lianyun Mountains and wanted to use this third-tier spiritual vein to plot against our two major sects. It was also thanks to the help of Fellow Daoist Longjia that we were able to defeat the half-step Yuanying cultivator even though we ultimately paid the price of two Jindan cultivators.”

The following part is a story that even Fang Chen has never heard of.

According to the information from Zhou Xingyun, the two major sects had a real fight, which resulted in the death of two Jindan cultivators and the damage of the third-level spirit vein.

From the existing clues, we can infer that there may be demonic cultivators involved.

Master Feiyun's words are true.

But what Fang Chen didn't expect was that Dragon Armor was also involved.

He thought that after realizing something was wrong, Long Jia ran away immediately, and he took this opportunity to blend into the human world.

Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to help the two major sects.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Long Jia had said before that there was a connection between the demon cultivators and the pollution. If that was the case, and a demon cultivator with extraordinary strength had sneaked into the Lianyun Mountains, as a member of the Moon God Palace, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"It's actually him. I didn't expect that even he has joined the Monks Alliance!"

"It seems that the two major sects are very determined to form this cultivator alliance. They even invited the demon tribe!"

"But is this his personal behavior, or does it represent the entire demon race?"

……

As expected, after hearing Long Jia's true identity, heated discussions broke out again at the scene.

What everyone is most concerned about is whether Long Jia joins the cultivator alliance as a representative of the demon clan or as an individual.

The two have completely different meanings.

Fang Chen prefers the latter.

According to his understanding, Dragon Armor has basically been dormant over the years and should have little to do with the demon forces in the Lianyun Mountains.

Of course, considering that he only knew a little about Dragon Armor, perhaps the other party really had some relationship with the demon forces in the Lianyun Mountains.

I originally thought that if I wanted to get the answer to this question, I could only ask in private, but I didn't expect Long Jia to step forward and slowly say, "My fellow monks, I joined the cultivator alliance to represent the Wang family, and it has nothing to do with the demon race."

After saying that, he returned to his original position.

"Wang family? Which Wang family?"

After hearing Long Jia's explanation, the monks present became even more confused.

There were at least dozens of Wang families near Lianyunfang City, if not a hundred, and Long Jia didn't reveal any more information, so they were left confused. "Do you know?"

Ling Mengqiu's voice sounded in my mind.

She is now using her spiritual consciousness to transmit sound.

"I only know the Wang family, and I have only come into contact with one person from their family, the second in command of the Wang family, named Wang Changlin."

Fang Chen shrugged and transmitted the information he knew through his telepathy.

To be honest, he really didn't know much about the Wang family.

Mainly, there is no need to understand.

Apart from the dragon armor, the Wang family has nothing else to show off.

"Wang Changlin? Never heard of him."

Ling Mengqiu thought about it, but in the end he didn't expect there to be such a person.

"when--"

At this moment, the bell rang for the eighth time, once again suppressing the heated discussion on the scene.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two True Lords, wanting to hear them introduce who this mysterious Jindan cultivator was.

However, this time, neither True Lord Huoyun nor True Lord Feiyun spoke a word. Instead, Tianyu stepped onto the stage and stood at the same level as the two True Lords.

Then he said, "I think none of you fellows know me. My name is Tianyu, and I come from the Central Region. I heard that the Eastern Region was going to form a cultivator alliance, so I came here to help."

Needless to say, Tianyu's identity would naturally cause a huge stir.

Everyone who can sit here and watch the ceremony knows what the Central Region is, so the scope of this discussion is the widest.

"when--"

Even the ninth bell rang, but it still failed to calm the noise at the scene, which forced Tianyu to release his own golden elixir perfection aura and said softly: "Quiet!"

Only then was the situation under control.

He nodded with satisfaction and continued, "In the cultivator alliance, the two True Lords serve as the alliance leaders, and I, Long Jia, and Ye Qingyang are the deputy alliance leaders. As for these eighteen fellow Taoists, they are the stewards of the alliance.

"In addition to the basic charter, any affairs of the Monk Alliance need to be discussed by the leader, deputy leaders, and deacons. It can only be implemented if more than half of the leaders reach a consensus and the two leaders or three deputy leaders do not oppose at the same time."

As soon as he heard this rule, Fang Chen knew it was the result of compromise among many parties.

This Tianyu from the Central Region probably did not trust the two major immortal sects and other sects in the Eastern Region, so he did this.

But how could he be 100% sure that Ye Qingyang and Long Jia would help him to balance the power of the cultivators alliance?

Thinking back to the day when he was waiting for himself and Ye Qingyang in front of the headquarters of the Monks' Alliance, and the unexpected person Long Jia, Fang Chen began to connect the two of them in his mind.

"Could it be that he is also one of the immortals from ten thousand years ago?"

If this is the case, then Long Jia is 100% in the same camp with him, and Ye Qingyang becomes the variable.

However, Tianyu definitely knew that Ye Qingyang's strength came from gathering souls, and he also helped Ye Qingyang conceal his identity as a ghost cultivator.

With this handle in hand, it would not be difficult to make Ye Qingyang cooperate with him.

More importantly, doing so is also in the interests of Ye Qingyang and Fang Chen.

"What a plan."

Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but admire him.

While he was thinking about it, Tianyu spoke again: "Before the alliance, we have already discussed the first matter. The two leaders, three vice leaders and eighteen deacons have unanimously agreed to build a coastal defense line on the East China Sea."

　I slept until the afternoon, had a haircut and took a shower, and went out for dinner in the evening. I can only update once today, and will resume normal updates tomorrow. Together with the 2,000 words I owe today, there will be 12,000 words left, which I will pay off within next week.
