Su Chen and Anu finished their meal at the Xianyunlai Inn and learned some of the customs and customs of the north, and then they came to the City Lord's Mansion in the Northern Immortal City to take up their posts.

For a long time, there was a city lord's mansion in the Northern Regions Immortal City, but there was no city lord.

This City Lord's Mansion is actually a temporary palace of the Spirit Island Alliance in the Northern Immortal City.

There is no owner living in it on weekdays.

Only when the alliance leader and deputy alliance leader come to the north to inspect, they occasionally stay temporarily in this city lord's mansion, so some middle-level and low-level clerks are left to deal with some trivial affairs in this city lord's mansion.

In order to avoid the division of local forces, the Lingdao Alliance has a big tail, and almost all the power is concentrated in the headquarters of the Lingdao Alliance. In the past, this northern immortal city did not have any authority, and there were major things that were directly ordered by the General Alliance.

But the Alliance's territory has expanded too much, and it is not responsive enough.

After Wang Ziyang carved out a northern defense area alone, the Northern Regions City Lord's Mansion was really ushering in the first master Su Chen, who lived here. Su Chen was promoted to the deputy leader of the alliance, responsible for guarding the northern defense area, although no one under his command had no money, but he obtained great authority to dispatch local monks.

When Su Chen arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he finally had some people to send.

He counted it, and there were hundreds of miscellaneous workers in the City Lord's Mansion, all of whom were some foundation-building monks, and they had no talent. At most, let them do chores and do some idle work.

The news that the new deputy alliance leader had arrived in the Northern Regions Immortal City to take up his post soon spread throughout the entire Immortal City and the Northern Seas. The various voices of slander in the city finally subsided a little, and they did not dare to discuss it in public, but they still slandered in private.

...

After settling in.

Su Chen immediately sent an order down and sent someone to invite seven or eight hundred Jindan Island lords in the north to discuss the countermeasures to deal with the attack of the East China Sea Demon Clan.

But all the Jindan Island owners didn't come, and they found all kinds of reasons to shirk it. Some say that they are in retreat and cultivation, that they are sick in bed, that they go out to collect elixirs, and that they are doing alchemy... In short, I was busy with things and couldn't come to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters.

As for those powerful family Jindan Island owners, they didn't even look for excuses, and just said that they were not interested and would not come.

In the end, only a dozen or so Jindan Island owners came to the meeting.

These dozen or so Jindan Island owners are either old and crippled, and they are about to die.

They are usually some marginal Jindan monks who are not welcomed in the north, they are too old, and they do not have the heart to fight for power. I don't care who is the deputy leader of the alliance, who is in charge of the northern defense area, I just want to protect my spirit island from the demon clan. So I gave the new vice alliance leader a little face, and came to the meeting to listen to what the new vice alliance leader wanted to say.

Su Chen only smiled bitterly at this.

He knew that if the Jindan Island owners were not convinced, there would definitely be very few people who came.

But I didn't expect it to be so little.

Without prestige, you cannot convince people.

It seems that his current prestige in the north is pitiful, and he can only call on these dozen or so old Jindan Island owners who can't walk fast.

The other Jindan Island owners are afraid that they are all looking at the jokes with cold eyes, waiting for themselves to make a fool of themselves.

Fortunately, he didn't care, just someone came to cheer. Even if only three or two kittens come, it is better than no one coming.

"Director Wang Meng ordered me to be in charge of the northern defense area, and I will be responsible for the defense of this part of the north in the future. ”

Su Chen asked politely: "I invited you island masters to come just to learn about the battle situation in the Northern Regions. I heard that there are some demon tribes in the East China Sea who frequently attack the Spirit Island in the north, and the losses are quite serious. Can you tell us more about that?"

More than ten old island owners looked at each other, all sighing, indescribable.

"The old decay Sun Hai, with dull talent, has been lucky enough to break through the Jindan and become the owner of the island for more than 400 years, and he can be regarded as a real veteran among the island owners in the north, and he knows the situation in the north very well. Let's talk about the battle situation in the Northern Regions for the deputy alliance leader. ”

"It's been too difficult for us in the north these years!"

"Most of those Sirens live in the sea, and can roam around the deep sea, making any sea area their home. But we, the owners of Jindan Island, are scattered on many spirit islands, and we can only defend the islands and passively defend our own spirit islands. It's easy for them to attack us, but it's hard to find their nest if we want to fight back. ”

"Those who have deep pockets can also set up a defensive array on the island to defend against the Kraken invasion. We, the poor island owners, have no financial resources and no manpower, and we can't do anything. As soon as those demon clans came, we immediately had to flee for our lives, and we didn't dare to resist. ”

An old island owner with gray hair and a stiff back bowed his hand to Su Chen and nagged.

"Elder Sun, how much have you lost in the past few years?"

Su Chen asked carefully.

The old island master of Sun Hai shook his head: "There is not much loss in personnel, only a few Qi refining cultivators have been killed, and almost all of the foundation building monks who escape quickly can survive." As long as we escape, they don't chase them, so often people can run away. ...... However, the hundreds of years of spiritual medicine planted on the island could not be escaped, and the various treasures accumulated on the island were looted and swept away by the demon cultivators.

After two or three times like this, those small spirit islands with weak defenses suffered heavy losses of goods and goods, and decades or hundreds of years of hard work were ruined. Their frequent attacks are clearly aimed at weakening our financial resources and foundations. Even if we don't die, in the long run, our northern seas will definitely decline and we won't be able to survive.

The old man doesn't have many years to live, he just wants to earn more savings on the Spirit Island, and have a variety of high-grade spiritual herbs on the island, so as to leave a little more spiritual herb resources for cultivation for future generations, and seek a future for them. But the Krakens disturbed these calculations. Alas~, all the spiritual herbs that have been painstakingly cultivated for three or four hundred years are over, bitter!"

The other dozen or so Jindan Island owners also nodded one after another.

Their situation is slightly different, but they are all about the same.

Su Chen comforted Sun Hai, pondered for a while, and then asked, "It is impossible for the northern island masters to sit still, so how do you fight back against those demon cultivators?"

"Yes, our northern island lord is suffering from the attack of the kraken. Under the call of the Ten Great Families, they gathered heavy troops several times and set traps on several of the wealthy spirit islands, preparing to wipe out the Kraken cultivators who came to attack.

But they don't come to attack the well-defended Spirit Islands.

We have also used the strategy of defeating our troops to tempt them to chase them, and encircled them with traps. They were not fooled, and after looting on Spirit Island, they retreated directly, not chasing and killing at all.

After all, there were as many as seven or eight hundred spirit islands in the northern seas, and no one could predict where they suddenly appeared and which islands they would attack. Moreover, they only dispatched a small demon clan at a time, and the number of Jindan demon cultivators who came to attack was not much, usually only a few Jindan demon cultivators, specifically attacking those weakly defended spirit islands.

Even if we catch them once in a while, we won't win much. Even if the Krakens are all killed, it will not hurt the demon clan.

In recent years, our northern seas have been tormented by the Krakens. Many island owners did not dare to plant high-grade spirit herbs on their spirit islands, and those spirit herbs that had been in the spirit for decades or hundreds of years were harvested early, lest they be looted by the krakens.

Now, we can only grow some annual low-grade spiritual rice, making do with the suffering, and we can't even afford to maintain the monks of Spirit Island, and we can't earn spirit stones at all. ”

The old island master Sun Hai said with a bitter face.

When Su Chen heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.

This style is not quite in line with the battle habits of the Krakens. Even the demon cultivators of the Jindan Realm are accustomed to fighting with brute force, and whoever has a hard fist will win.

These krakens actually know some tricks, and instead of fighting with the Terran monks, they fight with the Terrans. This commander of the Krakens, I'm afraid he has some skills, and he is not a stupid and reckless demon monk who only knows how to use brute force.

"Then do you know who is leading those Kraken clans in the northern seas?"

Su Chen pondered for a long time and asked.

As far as he knew, the Demon Emperor Jiao Ao stayed in the eastern seas, leading the tribes of the Demon Emperor Dynasty to confront the main force of the alliance led by Wang Ziyang.

Wang Ziyang was under tremendous pressure, and he had no time to take care of the northern and southern defense areas, so he arranged for the two deputy alliance leaders to sit in the north and south respectively to share part of the pressure.

Therefore, it is impossible for Jiao Ao to do something in the northern seas, there must be other great demon king-level leaders who are controlling the situation in the northern seas.

"Over the years, we have fought with the Kraken, and it is said that someone has seen it with their own eyes, a Bifang Jindan Demon Cultivator is directing those little Kraken clans to attack our Northern Spirit Island! Moreover, this demon also arrogantly declares that it is the Great Demon King of the North, and there are countless demon soldiers under his command, and this large area of sea will sooner or later be under its command, so let our Terran monks in the Northern Regions surrender as soon as possible and leave this sea area. ”

The old island owner Sun Hai recalled.

"Bi Fang?"

Su Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Bi Fang!

Bi Fang, the great demon king of the East China Sea Demon Court?

The Bi Fang clan is a high-level demon force belonging to the East China Sea Demon Court, the number is scarce, the Ju clan has joined the East China Sea Demon Court, and there is no Bi Fang Demon to take refuge in the Demon Emperor Dynasty.

Therefore, apart from Bi Fang, the great demon king of the East China Sea Demon Court, there can be no other Bi Fang demon king.

Isn't Jiao Ao of the Demon Emperor Dynasty fighting against the human race?

As the Great Demon King of the East China Sea Demon Court, how could Bi Fang cooperate with the Demon Emperor Dynasty to attack the human race in the north?

Su Chen was in the East China Sea Demon Court back then, and he got along a lot with the Great Demon King of Bi Fang, and he knew his temperament very well.

This demon is arrogant and arrogant, and has no eyes to spare.

Bi Fang has always felt that he was born in the ancient demon clan, and his bloodline is nobler than that of other krakens, he is very arrogant, and rarely obeys other demon cultivators.

The Great Demon King of Bi Fang was originally ranked around the tenth in the East China Sea Demon Court.

However, later on the trip to the ruins, some big demon kings died, such as the Jiaozhan Prince, the multi-eyed golden centipede, the three-headed kraken snake and other powerful Jindan demon cultivators were all killed, and he Bai Bu also left the East China Sea Demon Court. Bi Fang is now estimated to be in the East China Sea Demon Court, ranking among the top five Great Demon Kings.

To be fair, the strength of the Great Demon King of Bi Fang is indeed very strong. As a powerful ancient demon bird race, a small overlord of the sky, the wind demon cultivator who occupies the speed advantage is far above the other Jindan Sea Demon Kings, and is far superior to many human Jindan monks.

It's just that it's slightly weaker than Bai Bu, Kui Niu, Jiao Zhan and other great demon kings who are talented and rebellious.

Bi Fang is arrogant, but he is timid, and he is strong on the outside and on the inside.

Such a lewd attack tactic can be done. If other big demon kings were in command of the little demon clans, they might not use such a dip-and-go tactic.

"If the commander of the Northern Demon Clan is really the Great Demon King of Bifang, it will be interesting!"

Su Chen showed a meaningful smile.

In the East China Sea Demon Realm before, he had shocked Bi Fang once as the Great Demon King of Bai Bu, and Bi Fang didn't dare to look up every time he saw Bai Bu. He didn't mind either, and he would give this Bi Fang another dismount.
