Chapter 628: Planning
Although the ambush battle ended in a kind of anticlimactic ending, and the Yuanying monks of the Wuyue Sect did not suffer any losses, the escape from the White Bone Palace was still too hasty after all, and an extremely considerable number of Wuyue Sect monks were killed and captured by the East China Sea Alliance.
For the monks of the East China Sea Alliance, this was already a long-awaited victory, and when they learned that the greatest hero of this battle was Yuan Ming and a follower of the Stygian Moon God, their gratitude and belief in the Stygian Moon God became more and more pious.
Yuan Ming also gained a large wave of wish power again, and this time the number was even larger than the last time, even if Yuan Ming added the first soul and the second soul to the refining, he still couldn't absorb all of them, and in the end, he could only temporarily store the excess wish power in the White Jade Lotus Terrace.
But gradually, he suddenly had some doubts in his heart.
"Strange, is it my delusion, I always feel that the White Jade Lotus Platform seems to have changed a little more?" In the Stealing Heaven Ding, Yuan Ming stared at the White Jade Lotus Terrace, and always felt that with the injection of wishing power, there was something different about it.
"Indeed, it seems to have an extra layer of golden light." Sunset also came over to take a look curiously.
Yuan Ming looked at it for a moment and found that it was indeed as Xiying said, and the golden aperture outside the white jade lotus platform had a few more layers.
"Is it because I have too much wish power stored in it?" Yuan Ming was a little uncertain in his heart, and he didn't know whether such a change was good or bad.
Xiying couldn't give an answer to this question, Yuan Ming carefully observed for a few days, and found that there seemed to be no other changes in the White Jade Lotus Terrace, so he put it aside for the time being.
After all, they are all hard-won willpower, and if they don't exist in the White Jade Lotus Terrace, can they still be wasted?
And in the interval between Yuan Ming's retreat and absorbing the power of wishes, he also took the time to meet with Long Chong.
A few days ago, he investigated the life and death of Qiongyun through the possession of black incense, and accidentally found that he was not dead and was still in the Three Immortals Island at the moment, and seemed to be blessed by Hou Yi's Sun Bow.
He told Long Chong the truth, and Long Chong cried with joy after hearing it, and even directly moved his mind to use the jade talisman that Hou Yi gave to the Sun Bow at that time.
Yuan Ming persuaded him to come down and told him that Qiongyun seemed to be in a special state of sleep now, and that he would wake up one day in the future, and it would not be too late to go to her again.
Long Chong was moved by him, and he put out his mind for the time being, but he still thanked Yuan Ming for his kindness.
In addition, at the same time as Yuan Ming was in retreat, the East China Sea Alliance's counterattack on the Wuyue Sect had not stopped.
Surprisingly, the Wuyue Sect changed its normal state and gradually shrank its sphere of influence on the islands it had forcibly occupied, concentrating on Fusang Island.
……
At this time, Momiji Island is full of joy.
The allies won a great victory, and Wan Tianren ordered repairs and celebrated for three days.
Momiji, Wanhua, and Yuzhu Mishima took out all the spirit wine in the cellar, and let the alliance army drink happily, celebrating the recent successive victories.
The East China Sea Alliance swept away the decline of the previous successive defeats, whether it was the high-level of the Yuan Infant Stage, or the monks of the Yudan Stage and the Foundation Building Period, they were all full of confidence, and they were ready to completely expel the Wuyue Sect from the East China Sea with one blow.
In a quiet small building on Red Leaf Island, Yuan Ming didn't go to join in the fun, fiddling with a piece of turquoise spirit pine.
This thing is called the Green Phoenix Pine, which is a spiritual pine cultivated on Red Leaf Island, and is one of the best materials used to make spiritual incense in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Yuan Ming had already researched the black incense that controlled the possessed person, and the only flaw was that the spiritual incense did not burn long enough.
He was going to add this green phoenix pine to see if he could prolong the burning time of the black incense.
Yan Siyun stood behind Yuan Ming and recounted the latest situation she had discovered: "...... Now that the Wuyue Sect has stepped up its looting of the control islands, not only are all kinds of spiritual materials and spirit stones also slaughtering mortals and monks, as if they are collecting souls and fresh corpses. ”
Yuan Ming's status in the East China Sea Alliance is now almost equal to that of the alliance leader Wan Tianren, and what he said has become more and more important, so he simply transferred Yan Siyun to his side to collect intelligence.
"Murder for souls? Collecting corpses? This Wuyue Sect is really hurtful and harmful, and has done all the bad things, but have you found out what they want so many soul corpses for? Yuan Ming put down the green phoenix pine in his hand, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"I haven't found this yet." Yan Siyun shook her head and said.
"Investigate as much as possible, but if you can't find out, you will arrest the person directly, and I have a way to make him speak." Yuan Ming said.
The Heavenly Ghost Scattered People were also ordered to collect souls, and now the Wuyue Sect that came to the East China Sea is also collecting them, and it seems that there must be some kind of hidden meaning in it.
Since he had decided to fight the Wuyue Sect in an all-out way, this matter had to be clarified.
As for collecting corpses, it is estimated that the Wuyue Sect is cultivating some evil skill or sacrificing evil magic weapons.
"Yes." Yan Siyun agreed.
"What's going on with Fuso Island now? Are there any signs of a large-scale mobilization of monks and a counter-offensive? Yuan Ming thought for a while and asked.
"On the contrary, the Wuyue Sect has retreated most of its forces to Fuso Island, holding on to the main island, and refusing to allow anyone who is not from the Wuyue Sect to set foot on Fuso Island." Yan Siyun said.
"Oh, this is unusual, with the temperament of the White Bone Venerable, he actually swallowed this breath, could it be that he was preparing to wait for reinforcements, and the reinforcements of the Wuyue Sect were on their way?" Yuan Ming's face was surprised, he didn't expect this situation.
"I also thought of this, the spies who have been summoned in Dragon King City are always paying attention to the situation in the north, and there is no news for the time being." Yan Siyun said.
"Okay, you go down first." Yuan Ming nodded slowly and waved his hand.
Yan Siyun answered and left quickly.
Yuan Ming sat down and was silent, guessing the intentions of the Wuyue Sect.
Although the East China Sea Alliance has won two big victories, the Wuyue Sect should still retain a lot of strength, so what does it mean to retreat like this? The East China Sea is extremely far away from the Northern Desert, and waiting for reinforcements from the Wuyue Sect seems unlikely.
He pondered for a moment without a clue, and quickly gave up.
The buffer of stealing Tianding will pass in another two or three days, and when the time comes, he will be able to directly possess and probe the body, and he will be able to figure out the intentions of the Wuyue Sect immediately.
He took out other materials to make black incense, mixed the green phoenix pine into it, and made a new black incense, his brows suddenly moved, and a message suddenly came from the first soul.
Under the Five Elements Creation Tree that stole the Heavenly Ding, the evening shadow retreated again, forming a five-colored light curtain around his body.
At this moment, the five-color light curtain underwent a mutation, and suddenly twisted and trembled, shooting out a series of five-color spiritual light.
A moment later, the five-colored light curtain exploded, turning into countless fragments of light and drifting away.
The figure of the sunset shadow was revealed, and many five-colored spirit patterns appeared on the skin of the whole body, which quickly converged towards the center of the eyebrows, and after a few breaths, they all merged into it.
Her long eyelashes blinked, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"The retreat is over?" The first soul flew over and asked.
Sunset nodded slightly.
Yuan Ming observed the sunset shadow through the first part of the soul, his cultivation had not changed, and the sentence mangling spirit was still in the second realm, but he still faintly felt that the sunset shadow at this moment was different from before, but he couldn't say what was the difference.
"What's the catch?" He asked, manipulating the first soul.
"Sort of, can I trouble you with one thing, show me the formation equipment of the Red Blood Red Sand Array?" Sunset said suddenly.
"This ...... There is no problem with it, the array equipment collected at that time was piled up in the alliance warehouse, but when the formation was broken before, the equipment was damaged a lot, and even if it could be found out, it could only be regarded as a broken product. Yuan Ming looked surprised, and then said.
"It doesn't hurt if it's broken, except for the Red Blood Red Sand Formation, the formation maps of other magic circles in the East China Sea, if you can get it, please help me get some too, the more the better." Sunset said.
"I'll find a way to get it for you. It's just that what do you want so many circles for? Could it be that your cultivation in the formation has been refined again? Yuan Ming was puzzled.
"That's right, with this retreat, my formation path cultivation has entered a new level, and I need to comprehend a large number of magic circles." A smile twitched at the corner of Sunset's mouth.
Yuan Ming didn't know much about the magic circle, and he didn't know if the formation cultivation was diligent, and whether he needed to comprehend the unfamiliar magic circle, but the sunset retreat had gained something, and he was also happy for the other party.
As for getting a large number of magic circles, it was a trivial matter, with his current status, as long as he said hello, all the islands in the East China Sea would offer all kinds of magic circles, not to mention the broken red blood and red sand formation.
At this moment, seven or eight rays of light flew out and fell outside the small building, revealing the figures of Wan Tianren, Gu Xuanyang, Hou Qiu, Shi Yanshi and others, who did not enter.
"Divine Envoy Yuan, can you disturb one or two?" Wan Tianren said loudly.
"The war has stopped, and many things in the alliance are complicated, how can a few Daoists have time to come to me?" Yuan Ming went out of the house to greet him.
"The situation in the East China Sea has changed, and we have just received the latest information to discuss the next move with you." Wan Tianren said.
"Let's come in and talk." Yuan Ming's eyes moved, and he invited a few people into the attic.
"Divine Envoy Yuan, after the Wuyue Sect suffered two fiascos, it began to change its strategy, shrink the defensive line, and transferred back most of its combat strength to hold on to Fusang Island! It seems that they are scared by our East China Sea Alliance, hahaha......" As soon as Hou Qiu entered the house, he couldn't wait to say, and laughed at the end.
Seeing Yuan Ming's unfathomable strength and unfathomable relationship with the Stygian Moon God, Hou Qiu had completely given up his mind of competing with Yuan Ming, and like everyone else, regarded him as the backer of the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.
"These bastards are arrogant and domineering, and they have today! Yuan Shen's envoy felt that he should take advantage of the new defeat of the Wuyue Sect and the people's hearts were unstable, so the alliance immediately smashed Fusang Island and killed all the Wuyue Sect monks who invaded the East China Sea! Hou Mo said.
"It's not that simple, although the people of the Wuyue Sect are retreating, they are increasing their efforts to loot the resources of the islands in the East China Sea, and I feel that we can divide the alliance army into two, one way to subdue the islands controlled by the Wuyue Sect, and the other way to Fusang Island to eradicate the Wuyue Sect monks entrenched there, so it is the best of both worlds." Gu Xuanyang said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he understood the intention of several people.
Hou Qiu, Gu Xuanyang and others said that they were here to discuss, but in fact, they had disagreements about their next actions and tried to pull themselves to stand in line.
"Lord Wanmeng, what do you think?" Yuan Ming didn't say anything, and looked at Wan Tianren, who had not spoken.
"Although the Wuyue Sect has been defeated one after another, its strength is still not to be underestimated, I don't think it is appropriate to divide the troops, Hou Mo Daoyou's opinion is more appropriate, it is better to gather forces to eliminate the Wuyue Sect's scattered monks outside, or directly attack Fusang Island." Wan Tianren said unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Yuan Ming nodded secretly.
