Chapter 27: The Night of the Hustle and Bustle (Part II).
Hearing Qiu's words, Shen Gang was slightly stunned, Qiu's tone sounded like a joke, but with Shen Gang's understanding of Qiu, he knew that this person never joked, and it was hard to imagine that this unfathomable and always cold junior brother would be in the mood to joke with himself, so what did this seemingly false and true words mean?
Inexplicably, Shen Gang's heart moved faintly, as if he had some kind of inexplicable feeling and understanding, but he couldn't say what it was. The uneasiness and surprise caused by the vendetta of killing the ichthyosaur just now can't help but be a little relieved
Qiu Na's eyes, hidden under the cloak, glanced at Shen Gang deeply, and then he didn't care about Shen Gang who was staying, turned around and walked towards the depths of Tianshu Island, and everywhere he went, the members of the Seven Camps avoided in awe.
It's not that Qiu has done anything that frightens them over the years, it's just that Qiu's natural aura is too frightening, like a wild beast that feeds on humans. Seeing the hatred, these members of the Seven Camps only felt that their defense was that the sheep met the wolf, and no matter how strong the sheep was, it was by no means the opponent of a wolf, no matter how thin the wolf was.
It is the nature of wolves to eat sheep, and it is also the nature of sheep to be afraid of wolves, and Xu Qingfan, a closed disciple named Qiu, seems to be the nemesis of all living beings in the world, which is innate.
Seeing Qiu gradually walking into the distance in the night, his back getting smaller and smaller, Shen Gang finally woke up from his surprise and said to Qiu Yang: "By the way, Senior Brother Qiu, the master asked you to go see him as soon as you come back." ”
Hearing Shen Gang's words, Qiu's body paused slightly, and then he didn't say anything, and continued to walk into the distance.
At an angle that Shen Gang didn't see, Qiu stretched out five black, eagle-claw-like fingers from under the black cloak, constantly pinching, as if calculating something, and a moment later, a cold and faint voice sounded from the darkness under the cloak.
"In less than a year, the Xuanjing Treasure House is about to open, and the master's spiritual pet is about to break out of the cocoon...... So the master called me to go at this time...... Hehe, the time for revenge has finally arrived......"
As Qiu's muttering fell, in the darkness under the hood, two faint dim red lights suddenly lit up, like the eyes of death, shocking. Devil May Cry Yin Wind appeared out of thin air in a few feet around him.
Then, in a flash, the enemy had disappeared into the night.
On the other side, as Qiu's figure disappeared into the night, Shen Gang's face immediately became stern, turned around suddenly, and said to the row of thirty people from the Tianshu Battalion who were standing behind him with a shocked face: " Dear fellow Daoists, Senior Brother Qiu has always done things neatly and neatly, and this hunt for the Arowana Beast must be no exception, but the Arowana Beast has always held grudges, and it is often seven or eight groups living in one place, and each of them is the weakest is also the strength of the low-level of the Heavenly Rank, once it strikes, even if I am caught off guard by the Seven Islands of Xialing, I am afraid that I will suffer heavy losses, in order to prevent accidents, I still need to be more careful in the past few days. ”
Shen Gang is calm by nature, generous, and well-commanded, although his cultivation is not the highest in the Tianshu Battalion, but the thirty people in the Tianshu Battalion are happy and convinced of Shen Gang, and after hearing Shen Gang's words, they should all be.
Shen Gang walked in front of the Tianshu camp, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly stood still, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "White Tiger Daoist, please take the first team to guard the center of the formation, and you must not leave lightly in these ten days, and raise the form of the defensive array outside the island to the third level, do not slack off." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”
An immortal cultivator with the appearance of a strong man on the back of a tiger came out of the queue, and then turned around and walked quickly towards the row of stone towers not far away with the nine members of the Tianshu Battalion, which was the formation control of the countless mechanism formations that had been arranged over the years in the entire Xialing Seven Islands.
"Maang Daoyou, please take the second team to check the seven islands of Xialing in these three days, well, I am dividing half of the third team's manpower with you, once there is an abnormality, come and report it immediately. ”
"Yes. ”
An old man dressed as a Taoist should be a Taoist, and then selected five people from the third squad, and even the second squad, a total of fifteen people, also turned around and left.
After Shen Gang pondered for a moment again, he said to four of the remaining five people: "Trouble the four Daoists to make a trip, inform the other six battalions and the escort team led by Senior Brother Wang Yuxian, let them not cultivate these days, let alone retreat, and be ready to deal with enemy attacks at any time, especially the Heavenly Machine Squad and the Shaking Light Squadron, these people have cultivated crazy, and they must explain the importance of the matter to them." ”
"Yes. ”
The remaining four people showed a distressed look on their faces, as if they were unwilling to contact the Tianji Camp and the Shaking Light Camp, but after receiving the order, they also left in a hurry.
There are more than 200 monks in the seven camps, although they have joined Xialing Island for less than ten years, but they have either received Xu Qingfan's great favor before, or have respect for Xu Qingfan, and after coming to Xialing Island, they not only broke through the bottleneck of cultivation in one fell swoop with the help of medicinal power, but also obtained high-level magic weapons that they had never thought of before, plus Xialing Island is really a holy realm for immortal cultivators, staying here is very helpful to them, and then after Xu Qingfan's several means, they have been loyal to Xialing Island and Xu Qingfan over the years, and from the bottom of their hearts, they have regarded themselves as Xialing Island people, and they are originally loose cultivators, and Xialing Island has given them a sense of belonging for the first time, so after sensing the situation from Shen Gang's tone, it seemed that the situation was strict, and he didn't do things with his heart.
After the four of them also left, Shen Gang frowned and thought for a moment, then felt that there was nothing missing, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, only one old man called Guan Zhenren stayed by Shen Gang's side, this person had the highest cultivation in the Tianshu team, the highest mentality, and the highest seniority, before coming to Xialing Island, he was already the cultivation of the Void Dan period, and after eating two "Ascension Pills", he reached the cultivation of the early stage of the Shidan, and was one of the only three masters of the Shidan period in the "Seven Camps", and he was the first master in the Tianshu camp.
Looking up, seeing Guan Zhenren's eyes flickering, as if he had something to say, Shen Gang hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Senior do you think there is anything wrong with the junior arrangement just now?" You are a senior, if the junior does something wrong, please ask the senior to advise." ”
Listening to Shen Gang's sincere tone, it was not pretentious, Guan Zhenren's eyes flashed with a hint of gratification, Shen Gang is Xu Qingfan's closed disciple, and he has the cultivation of the Void Dan stage at a young age, which is far more promising than him, an old man who barely reached the Shi Dan stage with his medicinal power, but Guan Zhenren can see that Shen Gang really respects him, so unconsciously, he also treats Shen Gang sincerely.
"I don't dare to give advice. Guan Zhenren frowned and said: "It's just that the old man thinks that with the defense around the Seven Islands of Xia Ling, all kinds of mechanism formations are emerging, with the strength of my Tianshu team, as long as the control of the formation is appropriate, even if the Arowana Beast attacks, we are enough to delay them for a long time, and during this time, we are enough to inform everyone on the island of the news of the Arowana Beast's attack, why notify the other six battalions now to let them be guarded?" Especially the Tianji Camp and the Shaking Light Camp, they have always been dissatisfied with the Six Young Island Lords, and they will inform them in vain without notifying their leaders, I'm afraid they won't obey their orders, if the Arowana Beast doesn't attack in the end, it will also be a big blow to the reputation of the Six Young Island Lords. ”
Among the Seven Camps, the Tianshu Camp is responsible for controlling the various formation enchantments of the Seven Islands of Xialing, because the requirements for cultivation are not high, so the members of the Tianshu Camp, whether it is talent or their own strength, are the weakest in the Seven Camps except for the Shaking Light Camp. Although Shen Gang's actions over the years have won the respect and trust of all the monks in the Tianshu Camp, the others do not understand Shen Gang's ability, and only regard Shen Gang as having obtained such power with the help of Xu Qingfan's discipleship.
The strongest of the seven camps is undoubtedly the Tianji Battalion, Xu Qingfan has the intention to train a group of elite monks, and this group of monks is the Tianji Battalion. In the Seven Camps, they are the best in terms of talent, temperament, and perseverance, and they are stationed on the Tianji Island, which is the most suitable for cultivation, and the supply of elixirs and magic weapons is also the best, although they can't retreat there for a long time with their cultivation, but their cultivation strength is significantly higher than that of the other six camps, and the improvement is also the fastest. Pride is one of the nature of human beings, coupled with the fact that his steward Dongfang himself is a little arrogant, and he intends to cultivate, in the Seven Camps, except for a few people, these Heavenly Machine Camp monks really don't think much of it, and usually only think about cultivating to improve their strength.
In addition, the Shaking Light Battalion was ordered by the enemy, and it was originally the worst in terms of talent and strength, but for some reason over the years, the strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and now, the strength is no longer under the Tianji team, but because of the reason for following the enemy, the members of this team are also cold all day long, and they feel chilly just when they get close, and the other six battalions are all respectful of it.
Shen Gang naturally knew about Guan Zhenren's words, but Shen Gang had a last resort in doing this.
"Thank you for your advice. Hearing Guan Zhenren's words, Shen Gang bowed down, and then changed his words and said: " It's just that the defense of my Xialing Seven Islands is rare in the world, but the ichthyosaurus beast is also a heavenly beast, you know, over the years, every time Senior Brother Qiu leaves the island and goes to sea, he will definitely kill it, although within three thousand miles of Xialing Island, countless demon beasts are like tigers, but they also hate my Xialing Island, because of Senior Brother Qiu's affairs, the East China Sea Demon Beast has attacked no less than ten times over the years, although every time it has been repelled by our light yì, but that is also because these East China Sea Demon Beasts have low intelligence, lack of strength, and only know the relationship of disorder, and the Ichthyosaurus Beast is a heaven-level demon beast, but it has no less wisdom than humansIf only they attack, with the defense of Xia Ling Island, with the strength of my Tianshu team, I am confident that I can last more than three hours, but I am afraid of ...... These ichthyosaurus beasts will gather countless demon beasts from the East China Sea who have enmity with their junior brother to attack, you know, the number of demon beasts in the East China Sea is more than ten times that of the vast land of divine beasts.
We must be prepared for the worst, if the Ichthyosaurus Beast attracts the crowd to attack, plus contact with other Heaven-level Demon Beasts, if there is no joint force of the Seven Battalions, it will not be able to stop it at all. ”
Guan Zhenren was slightly stunned, he was different from Shen Gang, who had been taught by Xu Qingfan since he first came into contact with the Immortal Cultivation Realm, no matter how powerful the Ichthyosaurus Beast was, he instinctively regarded these demon beasts as powerful beasts, ignoring the fact that they had spiritual intelligence, and he really hadn't thought about what Shen Gang said.
But Guan Zhenren still asked suspiciously: "Even so, but the six young island masters take those demon beasts too seriously, I have countless masters on Xialing Island, although there are a lot of people in the Seven Camps, and the progress in strength over the years is also extremely fast, but in the final analysis, it is just an auxiliary, why do you pin the defense of Xialing Island on my Seven Camps? The realm of Wang Zegang's two elders is already close to the Mahayana period, not to mention the island master and deputy island master, with their cultivation strength, an abnormality will inevitably turn imminent, and at that time, even if it attracts everyone, what is the way to plant?"
Where there are people, there is society, this sentence means, there are more people, there will inevitably be managers and their organizational structure, the real chickens and dogs smell each other, and it is impossible to exist in the state of doing their own things, and Xialing Island has also been like this over the years.
With the growth of numbers and strength, Xialing Island has also appeared an organizational structure similar to the sect's forces, Xu Qingfan is the owner of the island naturally does not mention, although Liu Ziqing has not really joined Xialing Island, but he is very popular and good at getting along, and he has helped Xialing Island a lot over the years, intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Qingfan is even more important and has become the deputy owner. Dongfang Qingling, Bai Qingfu, Wang Zegang, and Zhang Yi, either because of their strength or because of their qualifications, were appointed as the four elders, who were responsible for defense, management, and guidance. And Dongfang Quan and the other five who have followed Xu Qingfan for many years are known as the five protectors, and Shen Gang and Qiu jointly control the seven camps, Wang Yuxian and other twelve Jiuhua disciples follow Xu Qingfan all day long, named Xu Qingfan's personal guard, in fact, it is only Xu Qingfan in order to better teach them, he is always with him, the old beggar and Beihai scholars and others are the offerings of Xialing Island, except for the alchemy refiner, they are not responsible for other things, and they are too lazy to be responsible, and.
In just a few decades, Xialing Island has the appearance and structure of a big force.
But hearing Guan Zhenren's words, Shen Gang smiled bitterly, what Guan Zhenren said was all the top masters of Xialing Island, however, as a high-level of Xialing Island, he knew that most of these masters could not make a move at this time, it can be said that now is the weakest moment for Xialing Island, and the defense of Xialing Seven Islands can indeed only be borne by Qisu Camp during this time. This was also the biggest reason why Shen Gang was so nervous after thinking that the ichthyosaur beast could not retaliate.
Seeing that Shen Gang wanted to speak and stopped, a trace of doubt flashed in Guan Zhenren's eyes, thinking that he might be involved in some secrets of Xialing Island, so he didn't ask more questions in this regard, but just said: "If the Sixth Young Island Lord only wants to resist with the Seven Camps, why don't you directly tell the Young Island Lord and the elders to protect the Dharma, and let them arrange it, so that it can be controlled." What's more, although you are a disciple of the island master, you are disrespectful to them if you exceed your authority like this. ”
After Shen Gang hesitated for a moment, he sighed: " Guan seniors are not outsiders, there are some things I still want to tell you seniors, it's not that I don't want to tell the elders to protect the Dharma, it's not that I just want to resist the enemy attack with the strength of the seven camps, it's really that I can't inform the seniors on the island now, although Uncle Wang Zegang is about to break through the Mahayana period, he is about to break through the Mahayana period, and he is in retreat during this time, and he can't be distracted; Uncle Bai Qingfu went out as early as three months ago and has not returned; the old beggar and other seniors began to imitate the Five Elements Sacred Weapon to refine five heaven-level high-level magic weapons forty years ago, and finally succeeded some time ago, although it is a magic weapon, but the power is not inferior to ordinary magic weaponsAs for Uncle Liu Ziqing, in order to help Uncle Zhang Yi find a way to break through the current cultivation, the two of them are also in retreat, so during this time, I am really the weakest time on Xialing Island, and I am the only one who can be the master in the Seven Camps. The main thing in charge of the Shaking Light Camp is Senior Brother Qiu, even if I tell him, he will not take it to heart, let alone say it to the Shaking Light Camp,"
Hearing that the top forces of Xialing Island had retreated one after another during this time, Guan Zhenren was also dumbfounded, and faintly felt that Xu Qingfan seemed to be going to make a big move, otherwise he would not be so eager to let these masters improve their strength.
"What about the Island Master and Elder Dongfang Qingling?"
Guan Zhenren asked again.
Shen Gang sighed, but didn't say much.
In the past ten years, Xu Qingfan's health has been getting worse and worse, and at the same time, for some reason, Ting'er's situation has also recurred, Xu Qingfan is trying to solve his own situation, it is not easy to make a move during this time, and Dongfang Qingling is to take care of Xu Qingfan and Ting'er, I'm afraid it won't help much.
Seeing Shen Gang's appearance, Guan Zhenren knew that I was afraid that Xu Qingfan and Dongfang Qingling would not be able to count on it in a short period of time.
It was only at this time that Guan Zhen was really a little panicked, the power of the Heavenly Rank Demon Beast, he couldn't understand it anymore after experiencing the catastrophe of the Southern Wilderness Demon Beast, the reason why he didn't care about it before was because of the various defensive formations on Xialing Island, and secondly, because there were countless masters sitting in Xialing Island, but he didn't expect that the master he relied on at this time would be either in retreat or going out or having something, and he couldn't make a move, so just with the strength of the Seven Camps and the Escort Team, even if there were countless formation organs outside Xialing Island, how long could he resist?
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to suppress all kinds of uneasiness in his heart, frowned and said: "I see, I hope that all the elders and Dharma protectors can get out of the customs as soon as possible, otherwise with the strength of our Seven Camps, although the power of those formation enchantments is strong, it will not be much." ”
Shen Gang nodded, turned to look at the incomparably calm sea area under the night, imagining the appearance of the waves when the ichthyosaurus beast attacked, he sighed secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: " Senior Guan doesn't have to worry, not to mention that with the strength of the Seven Camps and the Escort Team, with the arrangement of Xialing Island, it is enough to resist those demon beasts for a long time, and those ichthyosaurus beasts may not be able to follow the breath of Senior Brother Qiu to find me The bad luck of Xialing Island, even if it is attacked, it may not be as powerful as we imagined, I am just arranging it according to the worst possibility, but this possibility is only one or two percent. ”
Guan Zhenren nodded silently, and the anxiety in his eyes was also slightly reduced, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but say: "Even so, but Qiu Shao Island Master is too much, every time he goes to sea, he kills a lot, and it is just that some demon beasts who live in groups and hold grudges have attacked before, how can he even offend the fish and dragon beasts this time? He should also know the current situation of my Xialing Island, isn't he afraid that my Xialing Island will be hurt because of this?" To say something that shouldn't be said, the island owner is too fond of him, and he has been unrestrained all these years, allowing him to set off a monstrous blood wave in the East China Sea, compared with several other young island owners, he can't help but ......"
Guan Zhenren was halfway through his words, but he was interrupted by Shen Gang, only to hear Shen Gang say: "The master has never been too doting on anyone, this is known by Senior Brother Bai Yu, he must have his reason for doing this, how can we guess what the master thinks? What's more, Senior Brother Qiu's actions these days may be less thoughtful, but there will be no bad intentions...... He...... It's just that I'm too eager to improve my strength, and I'm too confident, and I believe that I will get better in the future. ”
Hearing Shen Gang say this, Guan Zhenren sighed and said, "Sixth Young Island Master, you are just too generous. ”
At the same time, Qiu had already come to Xu Qingfan's room.
"Master, I'm back. ”
Qiu's tone was as respectful as ever, but it sounded cold and faint, making people feel chilled.
"Come in. ”
Xu Qingfan's voice came from the room.
Qiu pushed the door in, only to see Xu Qingfan sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slowly opened, as if he was about to retreat and meditate, there were black ** lines looming on his face, the black pupils in his eyes were particularly large at this moment, and the whites of his eyes were only a little compressed on the edge of his eyes.
"You've been gone for six days this time, which seems like a little more time than usual. ”
As Xu Qingfan's eyes slowly closed, there was silence in the room, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke.
"The disciple encountered two ichthyosaurs this time, and it took some more time to kill them. ”
Hearing Qiu's answer, Xu Qingfan nodded, neither surprised that Qiu could kill the two ichthyosaurs, nor nervous because of the possible retaliation of the ichthyosaurs, as if all the qiē born in the future were already under control. 、
"Don't go to sea these days, in a few days, I will secretly go back to the vast land of Shenzhou, and you can follow. ”
Xu Qingfan was silent for a moment and said slowly.
Hearing that Xu Qingfan, who had been in retreat in the East China Sea for more than 40 years, was going to return to the vast land of Shenzhou, Qiu was slightly stunned, wouldn't it take another year for the Xuanjing Treasure House to be opened? What is Xu Qingfan doing when he returns to the vast land of Shenzhou at this time? But Qiu didn't ask much, just said yes.
There was a long silence, and when it was determined that Xu Qingfan had nothing to say, Qiu bowed down and retreated away, for Xu Qingfan, he maintained humility and respect all the time, at least until his strength reached a level that could threaten Xu Qingfan, it would always be like this.
After Qiu left Yuheng Island, Xu Qingfan slowly opened his eyes and looked indifferently in the direction where Qiu left, his eyes were already pitch black, and the black ** lines on his face became more and more obvious at this moment.
"The progress is so fast that Banmeng is produced, and now he can kill two ichthyosaurs independently, so his strength should be equivalent to the peak of Yuan Ying, shouldn't he limit his exhibition?"
Muttering to himself, Xu Qingfan closed his eyes again.
At this time, thousands of miles away from Xialing Island, countless demon beasts in the sea and strong birds in the sky were gathering together, covering the sky and the earth, and then rushing towards Xialing Island.
