Chapter 337: The Great War is Coming
Alien Sea, Nova Island.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is peaceful.
It's as if the fighting of the previous months had never happened.
Ever since the Chaotic Star Kraken Clan retreated, the Star Palace seemed to have fought a big victory.
The frustration of retreating from the inland sea seemed to dissipate from this moment.
The hearts of the monks on the entire Nova Island were filled with optimism, and the words that were passed on from ear to ear were eager to return to the Inner Star Sea next year.
But the top-level monks of the Star Palace knew that this kind of optimism was too optimistic!
Not to mention that the originally planned Inner Star Sea Reverse Star Alliance and Miaoyin City did not fight.
Moreover, after the trade between the inner and outer star seas was cut off, the Great Depression scene of the inner star sea also did not appear.
On the contrary, after the Inner Star Sea lost the Outer Star Sea, it seemed to be also vigorous and prosperous, but the Outer Star Sea seemed to be a little strong and capable, and it was a little stretched in the face of the offensive of the Outer Sea Demon Clan.
The so-called big victory advertised to the outside world is just to hold the island, not to let the demon beasts attack, and there is no strength to fight back against the outside world at all.
This situation is like a confrontation between the Liao and Song Dynasties, the alien Kraken clan can fail a hundred times, but the Star Palace can't fail once at all.
As long as the defense line is broken by the demon clan once, the entire alien sea will become a sea of blood.
The situation is far more pessimistic than everyone thinks!
"Thankfully, they retreated......"
An elder of the Star Palace, with a scar on his face, has more than one season.
This elder had just retreated from the front line, his injuries had barely healed, and there was still a strong killing aura on his body, but he was still cowering with joy.
Instead of talking like the people in the rear, only those who have really faced the army of demon beasts can truly understand the unspeakable despair.
On that day, he really had a psychological expectation of dying in battle.
"Did you find out for some reason?"
"The level of eyeliner we planted inside the demon beast is too low, and there is no way to reach the inner circle of the shape-shifting demon cultivator, and we only know that all the retreat orders are the guidance of the old man."
"Monkeys?"
Many of the monks were somewhat silent.
The Chaos Star Sea clan is also an old opponent of the Star Palace.
Since the previous Demon Clan, the overlord of the Chaotic Star Sea, has been destroyed one after another, and the Fox Clan has gradually become the one that dominates the outer seas.
"This is also an old opponent, the old man is cautious, is there anything wrong?"
"The news from Neiying, I only know that Lao Xianyi held a meeting with a group of Yuan Infant Demon Cultivators, and at the meeting, he persuaded all the demon cultivators to let go of the decision to attack us and others, and instead went in a strange direction......
"Oh, what strange direction?"
"Silver Shark Island!"
Elder Lu swiped with one hand.
In the whole hall, there is an extra picture.
This picture is composed of halo lines, blue lines and waves, representing the boundless sea and waves, and yellow irregular circles representing islands.
The yellow circle representing Silver Shark Island is far away from the traditional Alien Sea islands, and it is a relatively desolate and uninhabited place, and even monks who hunt monsters rarely go there.
"Here ......"
Many Star Palace elders groaned.
Obviously, there is no impression of such a place.
As Elder Lu, who was presiding over the meeting, after glancing at the White Deputy Palace Master, he nodded through him and then spoke: "This place is the Silver Shark Islands, you must have rarely noticed it, but combined with our previous news, I got an information about Silver Shark Island from a file decades ago......"
As he spoke, Elder Lu showed a dossier from many years ago.
At that time, the Star Palace had just migrated to the Outer Sea, but when everything was undecided, it also sent people to occupy and explore the islands to find out the details of all the forces in the entire Outer Sea.
Even if it is as barren as Silver Shark Island, Star Palace has not given it up!
After sending the monks to this place, they also received some feedback, and combined with this old information from that year, the elders here can also see a lot of clues.
"Hmm, is this the information that explored Silver Shark Island back then, and the exploration completed by the team led by Brother Jindan?"
"There were even some casualties and clashes!"
"Oh, I found the mine, but I didn't seem to pay attention to it, why is that ......"
The parties of that day were also brought to the scene.
After a period of interrogation by the elders, this Jin Dan opened his mouth and said: "Ancestors, on that day, I obeyed the order and went to Silver Shark Island to explore, and I also found some clues, but at that time, the demon beasts were fierce, and I couldn't reach them, and I wasn't sure how many minerals there were on the island......
After hearing these explanations, the White House Master also pinched his beard and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
"White Deputy Palace Master, listen to what this disciple said, is there a big mine on this Silver Shark Island?"
"Yes, otherwise, why would the demon clan retreat?"
"Wait a minute, you just said that there are people on Silver Shark Island, and there are fierce demon beasts attacking?"
"Isn't it already laid out?"
The elders' minds were so clever that they could see the crux of the problem at once.
Elder Bai also sighed in his heart.
He had already known about the matter of Silver Shark Island, and he had also discussed it with Ling Yuling.
Behind this Silver Shark Island is the City of Wonderful Sound.
At that time, both Elder Bai and Ling Yuling believed that this Silver Shark Island was a pawn set up by Miaoyin City in the open sea.
The purpose is to monitor the situation in the open sea so that it will not be blinded.
It's not wrong to guess that.
Xinggong also pushes others with himself, so it makes sense to guess the logic.
After all, Silver Shark Island is far away from the core area of the Alien Sea, and it is also difficult to use this place as a springboard to attack the Star Palace.
Again, the area is quite barren, and it is not a good choice to hunt sea beasts here.
Who would have thought that mining could be found near the Silver Shark Islands?
"Alas!"
After a sigh.
Elder Bai covered up this matter as if it were the first time he learned about it.
"This matter is considered to be a big mine here, so why did the demon clan deflect and attack this place?"
"Yes, give up halfway, it's not like an old man's plan!"
Many elders have dealt with alien sea monsters, and they know that the IQ of the shape-shifting demon cultivators is already very high, and they can't fool these wisdom demon cultivators at all.
"From this point of view, only some reluctant interests can make Lao Xuanyi make this move......"
"Isn't this mine producing some peerless treasure!"
"That's right, Miaoyin City is millions of miles away from me, and I have to rush here to dig minerals, so it can be seen that the mines on this island are very valuable, right?"
Curiosity and inquiry also arose in the hearts of many elders.
The old man and the Lord of Miaoyin created the Dao, but they are both people with the same name as the Star Palace Twin Saints.
What can make these two people excited, in the hands of ordinary Yuan Baby, is definitely a treasure!
"Why don't we go and explore together?"
"No!"
One of the elders stopped in unison.
"At this time, what if we wait to go over, attract the attention of the demon beasts, and transfer the combat power to this side?"
"Yes, let the demon beast and Miaoyin City lose both!"
"That's right, this Miaoyin City Creation Dao person, at first glance, it doesn't look like getting along, if the demon beast dares to attack the Silver Shark Islands, it will definitely have to do a ...... with this person"
"Our Star Palace's chance to turn over has come!"
"Yes, yes, if both the old man and the Daoist of Creation are defeated, wouldn't the opportunity for my Star Palace to return to the Inland Sea have arrived?"
Saying this, the Star Palace elders all looked forward to it.
Elder Bai frowned and pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Ling Yuling, who was listening.
"Young Palace Master, do you have any ideas?"
Ever since he came to the palace, Ling Yuling hadn't opened his mouth.
She was already in the late stage of Jindan at this time, and she was always planning to achieve Yuanying.
Since the Twin Saints had been 'missing' for a long time, the aura on Ling Yuling's body had become weaker and weaker.
Even if most of the people who were brought to the open sea by the Twin Saints were diehard loyalists of the Twin Saints, who made Ling Yuling just a Jindan monk?
If it were some ordinary Jindan cultivators, in front of these Yuanying Star Palace elders, they would not have the qualifications to speak at all.
This time, if Elder Bai hadn't invited her over, I'm afraid she wouldn't have wanted to attend this meeting at all.
After listening to it for so long, Ling Yuling didn't say a word.
Because, as the two saints disappeared for more and more time, the deterrence against these elders became weaker and weaker.
Especially the last time, when the demon beast attacked, the two saints did not show up, which made the hearts of the people in the Star Palace shake, if it weren't for Elder Bai alone, I'm afraid some people would have been suspicious.
Even if Elder Bai is loyal, he can't suppress someone's ambition!
Ling Yuling knew all this, so he had been in retreat for many years.
It was only when everyone mentioned the Creation Dao Man that a glimmer of light flashed in Ling Yuling's eyes.
Ling Yuling's thoughts couldn't help but go back to many years ago.
I met him and talked happily.
If it weren't for my impatience, I'm afraid this situation wouldn't have happened, right?
At the beginning of the relocation to the open sea, the Shuangsheng also planned to negotiate peace with Li Su, the creator of the Taoist, and the psychological expectation at that time was that the young master Ling Yuling and Li Su would marry each other, and the Star Palace would resume the exchange and trade between the inner and outer Star Seas, and fully assist Li Su to rule the two places to reproduce the glory of the Star Palace.
This plan is still in the ears, but just a few decades later, everything is like a bubble phantom.
The expected Great Depression in the Inner Star Sea did not appear!
The so-called peace talks are nothing but wishful thinking.
The Twin Saints have long since stopped mentioning this matter, and they can cultivate with peace of mind to restore their own cultivation.
After waiting for ten years with great anticipation, Ling Yuling was already disheartened and no longer looked forward to it.
"Alas!"
Hearing Elder Bai's question, Ling Yuling sighed lightly and said, "Yuling has no idea, but although my Star Palace has a firm foothold in the open sea, when it comes to the surrounding situation, it is stormy, and the relationship with the two major forces of the Inner Star Sea is not harmonious, and the thieves who oppose the Star Alliance are even more dead, and the demon clan has just withdrawn its troops from the islands in the open sea, no matter what decision you make, you must be cautious and careful!" ”
Listening to what Ling Yuling said, many elders nodded secretly.
In recent years, the changes within the Star Palace have not only been felt by Ling Yuling, but many elders have naturally gained a lot of knowledge.
How can you not see that since the Double Saint 'Shen Yin', the power of this young palace master has not deteriorated day by day!
Moreover, although the Twin Saints led the elders to jump out of the bloody battle of the Inner Star Sea, it also made the elders give up many of the family businesses of the Inner Star Sea, although most of the elders were loyal to the Twin Saints and had no regrets or grievances, but how could the descendants and relatives of these elders be willing?
The cultivation of these pro-scrollers is definitely not high, and they are extravagant on weekdays, and their living conditions have dropped greatly after coming to the open sea, so they are naturally dissatisfied and all kinds of slanders come out one after another.
Repeated suppression has not had much effect.
Over time, the suppression of the double saint prestige is huge.
Even many old ministers who were loyal to the Shuangsheng were a little shaken under the repeated slander of these juniors.
Many people even want to exterminate the Twin Saints and Ascend to seize the throne of the Lord of the Star Palace.
Of course, this kind of rebellious thinking was still vigorously suppressed by the elders.
But this situation is dangerous enough!
What if one day, you can't hold it down?
Ling Yu Lingyi is the most dangerous!
"What the young master said is extremely true."
"Yes, the young master is quite insightful."
"Yes, prudence comes first, the young master ...... for me"
Some of the old ministers who still thought of the Double Saint began to constantly praise Ling Yuling to express their 'loyalty'.
There were also some elders who didn't speak with complicated expressions.
"Alas!"
Everyone's performance is important in the eyes.
Elder Bai also knew that those who did not open their mouths to praise did not mean that they did not support the Twin Saints.
It's just that because of the change of time, there is just a little more thought in my heart.
Even if he is not single and has no relatives to take care of, I am afraid that he will be affected.
"Okay, it's not appropriate to make a big deal at this time, but since my Star Palace rules the outer seas, I definitely can't indulge the demon clan, and the land of Silver Shark Island must be explored, but it's not a big deal......"
Elder Bai finally set the tone for this matter and explored it in a steady and cautious manner.
After knowing the details, Star Palace will make its own decision!
……
Silver Shark Islands.
The Clone of the Hell-Suppressing Beast's eyes furrowed.
At this point, he had stopped driving the puppet to mine.
Once thousands of demon rat puppets are excavated, they will inevitably bring a lot of shaking marks.
It's easy to reveal the location of Blue Sky Island!
Now, the demon clan has wantonly invaded, and several different demon cultivators have flown over from the blue sky island.
It's just that Li Su's clever arrangement, coupled with the calmness of the Hell Beast, was not discovered by the demon beasts.
"Waiting for the body to come to help!"
In the original work, the top-grade spirit stone should have been dug up after a hundred years after Han Li returned to the Chaotic Star Sea.
Now, the Spirit Mine of Blue Sky Island has been excavated too early!
Li Su opened the mine a hundred years earlier.
The golden toad clone has been guarding for many years.
Now, the Hell Beast commands a team of demon beast puppets, and with thousands of demon mouse puppets that are professionally mined, the entire mine is decreasing at a rapid rate, and more and more core ores have been excavated.
Calculate the speed of excavation, and it is on par with the original!
It's normal to dig up the best ore.
"How could these monsters come around so quickly?"
Although it had long been expected that the escape of the little fox Ao Xin would definitely cause the temptation and covetousness of the alien Kraken clan.
Unexpectedly, Lao Liyi was too decisive, and withdrew his troops from the front line of the Star Palace confrontation early, but instead dropped a large number of demon beasts near Silver Shark Island.
It can only be said that this old dragon who has lived for many years is too treacherous, and both Xinggong and Li Su are inferior in terms of strategic layout.
The Helltown Beast waited patiently.
A group of doppelgangers from the Inner Star Sea are taking advantage of the ocean currents at the bottom of the sea to lead the way with the help of friends.
Li Su sat on the boat with a calm face, and rushed to the open sea at a speed as fast as fashion.
This time, something happened to the best spirit stone, which disrupted his rhythm somewhat.
You must know that the best spirit stone in the original book should be many years later.
Unexpectedly, it gave him a butterfly effect!
No, according to the normal pace of mining, it is reasonable for the appearance of the best spirit stones.
It is not the so-called butterfly effect at all, but the unevenness brought about by normal development.
"This one, old man, maybe we have to fight again, right?"
