The Earth Spirit Ship galloped through the air with lightning speed, and soon, it arrived at Crescent Island.
Li Mu put away the Earth Spirit Ship, put down the Jade Ginseng King and the others, took Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa with a slight disguise, drove the spirit boat back to Ten Thousand Stars Island, and arrived at Li's Treasure House smoothly all the way!
"Master Li, where have you been? I was scared to death. I thought you were going to leave me and never come back!"
Seeing Li Mu, Xiao Jin and the others return safely, Xue'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nervously pulled Li Mu's arm and said worriedly.
"Silly girl, why would I leave you if I were to leave? Don't think nonsense. Qingyue just passed through the thunder tribulation. We are watching the ceremony and going to support." Li Mu smiled and patted Xue'er on the shoulder. To comfort.
"Yes! Brother Qingyue has successfully survived the seventh-level thunder tribulation. He can now transform, and his transformed figure is so handsome!" Xiao Jin said sincerely with envy.
"Yes!" Xiao Wa Weng responded angrily, with a look of envy in his eyes.
"Great! Brother Qingyue has successfully overcome the tribulation. With this powerful help, Mr. Li, you don't have to worry anymore!"
Xue'er's eyes lit up with joy. He looked at Li Mu endlessly and asked with concern.
Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled, and he probably understood that Xue'er had learned about his worries during this period, and the little guy had been secretly worried!
Li Mu smiled freely and nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, Qingyue has successfully overcome the tribulation. I have a lot of peace of mind, and I have stronger strength guarantee. I can really relax a little and continue to open my business!"
Li Mu decided to continue to stay in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars. If the Ji family really comes to visit, he will find a way to deal with it! Right now, it is crucial to improve your cultivation to the realm of divine transformation.
Soon, Li's Zhenbao Building reopened its store. Li Mu disguised himself as a spirit appraiser to guard the store. After about half a month, he returned to Crescent Island to take care of two Yin and Yang spiritual plants and teach a few beasts. , refining weapons, making talismans, refining elixirs, and making puppets.
Time flies, and time flies. In Li Mu’s dedicated practice and busyness, time passes quietly, and three months pass in the blink of an eye.
Li's treasure house stands in the sea of ten thousand stars. Its business is booming and its reputation is growing. Li Mu gradually lets go of his worries. He is busy every day and lives a peaceful but fulfilling life.
However, these peaceful days are destined not to last long!
In the Southern Wilderness Territory at this time, the giant city standing in the Ten Thousand Monster Mountains was trampled underfoot by an army of countless blood-colored monsters. The brown-gold city wall collapsed, and the city between the two giant spiritual mountains was Countless buildings were bombed beyond recognition, giant spirit cannons, giant long crossbows,... all kinds of powerful spiritual weapons were turned into scraps, scattered on the battlefield in a mess,...
The sky is covered with darkness. The blood-colored demonic birds of the sun will be surrounded by all kinds of giant spiritual ships, such as fourth-order volleying spiritual ships, fifth-order thunder spiritual ships, fourth-order firework spiritual ships, fifth-order giant spiritual ships, etc., from all directions, tens of thousands of human monks Under the siege of countless bloody monsters, they were defeated.
……
A month has passed.
In the Zhongzhou territory, in the old residence of the Ji family, one of the eight major cultivation families, in the solemn elders' hall, the head of the Ji family, Ji Zhantian, convened an emergency elders meeting with all the family elders. The atmosphere was solemn.
"Unfortunate news came from the Southern Wilderness battlefield. The Nine Demon Sect opened a gap in the Demon Abyss Passage and released the Demon Abyss creatures-the Blood Demon Clan. They controlled countless low-level demon clans, formed an army, and broke through. Demon Suppression City,..."
"Although the combined forces of Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect resisted with all their strength, they still could not contain the combined forces of the Blood Demon Clan and the Demon Clan,..."
"The coalition forces suffered heavy losses on the front line of the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain and could no longer maintain it. They retreated to the second line of defense... Now, the first gap in the Demonic Abyss Passage has been opened, and there will soon be a second gap. If now, If we cannot effectively prevent the situation from deteriorating further, the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory, and even the entire Zhongzhou Spiritual Territory, will be involved in this war."
Ji Zhantian's face was gloomy, he looked around at the Ji family elders, and spoke in a low voice! Introducing the latest battle report from the front line, every word is full of heaviness and worry.
"What is the current situation of the coalition forces of Taiyi Sect?"
"Master, do you mean that our Ji family will send the main force into battle?"
"Is the current situation serious enough? ? Haven’t the Dao Lords of Taiyi Sect come forward yet? "
"..."
After hearing such severe information from Ji Zhantian, all the elders’ expressions changed drastically. He asked nervously.
It's not that they don't understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold, but when their own interests and safety are involved, the elders of the Ji family are thinking about how to prevent themselves from taking this responsibility.
“Several of our family heads have already had a talk with the Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect. The Dao Lords of the two sects have been restrained by matters in the outside world and have no way to go to the Southern Wilderness to solve the passage. Regarding the gap, now, the coalition forces in the Southern Wilderness Territory are preparing to regroup in the Tianzhu Peak area, and the two Immortal Sects will continue to send their main forces there. "
Ji Zhantian looked at the elders and continued to introduce.
The elders' eyes lit up slightly, but there must be arrangements for their eight major families. They looked at Ji Zhantian quietly and waited for the next step.
“If the gap in the Demonic Abyss Passage is allowed to expand, the seal of the entire Demonic Abyss Passage will eventually be completely released, with disastrous consequences. In addition, if the Nine Demons Sect does not exist, the gap in the Demonic Abyss Passage will not be Zoom in to this point." Ji Zhantian looked at the elders and continued to introduce.
After a pause, Ji Zhantian continued: "So, the two sect masters asked our eight major families to form an elite force, either to stab the Nine Demon Sect's lair and beat them painfully and cripple them, or to send the main force to the Demon Abyss At the passage, attack the blood demon clan and completely seal the gap! You need to choose one of the two key tasks." Hearing this, the expressions of all the elders of the Ji family changed.
"Can't the two of them do it on their own? Are we going to die?"
"Yes! If we participate in these two tasks, do we still have a chance to survive? This is a narrow escape. What a job!”
“Xuantian Sword Sect, is Taiyi Sect so excessive?”
"Head of the family, you didn't agree! What did the other seven heads of the family say?"
...
As soon as Ji Zhantian finished speaking, the elders of the Ji family started talking, and they all showed a look of surprise. They have a look of fear. They have reached the heavens and have lived for thousands of years. They are especially afraid of death, especially when they have to perform such a near-death mission, which makes them feel even more frightened.
Ji Zhantian was not surprised by the fierce reaction of the elders. He had expected this scene and sat in the position of the head of the family with a sad expression and sighed silently.
The Ji family has been inherited for too long. The monument that stood on the Ji family ancestors gradually became decayed, and the entire family no longer had the same bravery as before. "There is no way to refuse this matter. The eight major families jointly dispatched part of the main force to complete a task. We will choose the task first, and the other task will be solved by the two immortal sects together. This is the result of joint discussion at the conference. If If that family is unwilling to send the main force, it no longer deserves the status and benefits of the eight major families." Ji Zhantian said in a deep voice as he looked at the group of Ji family elders who reacted fiercely.
As soon as Ji Zhantian finished speaking, the fierce opposition suddenly stopped. All the elders looked embarrassed, but no one spoke up for a while. They all knew that this was jointly discussed by the eight major families and the two major immortal sects. As a result, they couldn't refuse.
“Master, our Ji family really cannot sit back and watch this crisis.” Ji Hongyun, the fifth elder of the Ji family, was the first to speak: “I support sending the main force to the Demon Abyss Passage to raid the Blood Demon Clan and strive to defeat them. The gap is sealed."
"How big is the gap? How many elites are coming from the Blood Demon Clan? I don't know anything. I suggest you go straight to the Nine Demon Sect headquarters! Elder Ji Wuheng refuted strongly.
"No, no! The blood demon clan has just arrived in this realm, and its strength must have declined. On the other hand, the Nine Demon Sect has existed in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm for thousands of years. How can it be easy to break into the carefully built demon cave? "Yes!" Ji Tianlin, the sixth elder of the Ji family, spoke hurriedly after hearing this. He was more willing to deal with the blood demons in the outside world than the insidious and cunning demon cultivators of the Nine Demons Sect.
...
The elders had different attitudes. They exchanged opinions and debated fiercely. For a long time, they could not reach a decision.
"No need to argue! This matter will be voted on by a show of hands. After the vote here, we will wait for the eight masters to meet and continue to vote by vote. You just need to be prepared for battle. This vote will also The choice of the main personnel has been decided!" Ji Zhantian looked at the elders and gestured.
“Master, can you make it clearer?” Ji Hongyun, the fifth elder of the Ji family, asked quickly.
All the Ji elders looked at Ji Zhantian with concern.
"For the sake of fairness, the mission you choose is the same as the final decision of our eight masters. Then the main force will be selected from this group. If there are insufficient or too many people, we will continue to draw lots and make your choice." Ji Zhantian He looked at the elders and announced.
After a pause, Ji Zhantian looked at everyone and said quietly: "No matter how you choose, the direct lineage of the Ji family will send people to join this army. No one can live their whole life lying on the family merit book. !”
Hearing this, the faces of several elders turned slightly red, feeling ashamed of their greed for life and fear of death.
Soon, the elders of the Ji family held a show of hands vote, and they were almost equally divided on the two narrow-death missions. However, counting Ji Zhantian's vote, the Ji family finally chose to block the passage to the Demon Abyss.
After the important vote, this family meeting was about to come to an end. At this moment, Ji Wuheng, the third elder of the Ji family, suddenly spoke up and asked Ji Zhantian: "Master, do you still remember the Nascent Soul monk from last time? 'Li Jianxian' thing?"
"Monk Nascent Soul! Li Jianxian? Who?"
Several years have passed. During this time, he has been worried about the war in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm and worried about the matter of Mo Yuan. Ji Zhantian has completely forgotten about a mere Nascent Soul monk. thing.
"It's the Nascent Soul cultivator who killed Kumu, the one who ordered Tianji to send Biao!" Ji Wuheng had already expected it and reminded him.
Ji Zhantian suddenly remembered that he had been having a headache about this guy for a while!
"Isn't this guy always hiding his head and showing his tail? He has no clues! Why, he popped out again?" Ji Zhantian asked in surprise.
"This is his latest information. I just got it from Tianji Pavilion. Master, please take a look at it first!" Ji Wuheng sighed, took out a jade slip and handed it to Ji Zhantian.
Ji Zhantian took it easily, devoted himself to his spiritual consciousness, and began to browse.
After reading the information on the jade slips, Ji Zhantian was silent for a moment. It has to be said that this Nascent Soul boy did something that surprised him again. The seventh-level true dragon recognized its master and defeated the White Whale Demon King. None of this was something he could do at the Nascent Soul Stage, no, even at the Divine Transformation Stage. Even the two great Immortal Sects, the Xuantian Sword Sect, and the Taiyi Sect's geniuses couldn't compete with them.
"Right now, in troubled times, our Ji family cannot afford to offend such evil geniuses. Isn't he in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars! Send someone to find him, put an end to the dead wood matter with him, and make a good relationship with him. Yuan, don't cause any more trouble." Ji Zhantian threw the jade slip back to Ji Wuheng, sighed and signaled.
“Understood!”
Ji Wuheng accepted the jade slip and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing this information, he and the head of the family thought together.
"Well! In the coming war, this place, Ten Thousand Stars Sea, will probably become a strategic location for the Central Continent Spiritual Realm to attack the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm. How about you go there yourself and find a place for the Ji family? Use a suitable island as a base and settle this matter by the way." Ji Zhantian thought of something and looked at Ji Wuheng and ordered.
“Okay, Patriarch!” Ji Wuheng accepted the order happily.
……
The Kun family is one of the eight major cultivation families in Zhongzhou.
Master Tian Shang and Master Kun Ling were sitting across from each other, having a drink with each other.
“If I had known it earlier, I should have followed Li Xiaoyou’s example and traveled everywhere. I shouldn’t have returned to the Kun family or the master’s family in Central Continent. What if we are familiar with the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm and know the Nine Demon Sect thoroughly? Let you and I carry out that desperate mission!”
Sir Kunling poured a pot of spiritual wine into his mouth and said to Master Tianshang angrily.
"Forget it! What the family leader said is not unreasonable. If we send others to the Southern Wilderness, they will not be familiar with the place and will not be able to carry out the task. Instead, let us lead the way. Maybe there is a possibility of success!" Lord Tianshang smiled bitterly and consoled him.
"Ha! Have you been to the headquarters of the Nine Demons Sect? Have you been to the Demonic Abyss Passage? Can you believe such excuses?" Lord Kunling glared at Lord Tianshang and asked angrily. .
"This mission is just for you and me. For the sake of our efforts, the master will not embarrass you and my family again. This is Zhongzhou. If we don't accept this mission, in this day of being dependent on others, we can't. It’s not as relaxing as in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm!” Tian Shangzun glanced at Kun Ling and said with a somewhat helpless expression.
Hearing this, Lord Kun Ling was speechless immediately, and took a few more sips of spiritual wine to vent his depression.
After this time, Master Kun Ling has completely seen through the entanglement of interests in the family. If he is lucky enough to survive this mission, he will never stay in a place like the Kun family again!
In this meeting of Kun family heads, the master family and several family elders put pressure on them with various righteousness and family interests. His Majesty Tian Shang and Kun Ling are here. Unable to resist at a family meeting, he was forced to accept the mission of returning to the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm to perform a narrow escape.
……
At this time, in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Territory, the eight major cultivation families and the two major Immortal Sects were undercurrents, and they were all mobilizing the cutting-edge combat power of human monks to support the war in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory.
