Demonic East China Sea Temporary Headquarters.
Thick smoke billowed from the volcanic crater, blocking out the sky and the sun, and the waves crashed on the shore around the island chain, creating turbulent waves.
Groups of defeated demonic soldiers gathered here from the horizon, flying magic weapons whizzed incessantly, and small boats across the sea were connected end to end. All the monks on board were languid and their eyes were dull.
The suspense of the war between good and evil has been resolved, and we are just waiting for the dust to settle. The vast territory has been lost, the troops in various war zones have been maimed, and some have even been completely annihilated by the righteous coalition forces. Only the basic base of the East China Sea is left. The losers have almost lost all their wealth.
Already.
When they first sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, the three demonic sects held a swearing-in meeting, with nine Nascent Souls, hundreds of golden elixirs, and hundreds of thousands of troops. They were so high-spirited and the demonic flames were overwhelming.
Nowadays, they have abandoned their armor and are in a miserable state. Only three or four out of ten people have escaped back to the East China Sea. They are all like frightened birds. Who expects them to be able to fight?
Lin Shan also experienced the cruelty of war in the world of cultivation for the first time in the desolate atmosphere of the general environment.
To cultivate oneself, one must rely on struggle.
Resources, territory, population, and talents in Lingshan and Lingshan mines are all the basis for the hegemonic structure of a top sect. Without these supports, how can the monks in the sect enjoy the benefits of the sect that far exceed those of others?
In this world, the cake is always fixed. If you get more, others will have less share. Which high-welfare sect is not based on plunder?
Now that the Demonic Way has been defeated, the East China Sea is a springboard that the Righteous Way cannot let go. After integrating all resources and stabilizing the inland, there will definitely be another bloody battle to eradicate the evil.
And Lin Shan, as Zhenren Pei of Yushou Valley said, had caused a huge disaster. In the realm of the Song Dynasty, he could never get clean in this life. He had no choice but to follow the devil's path and go to darkness.
If you have no choice, then you have no choice. After killing the entire Taoist lineage of Qianyun Pavilion, the sect must reward me well.
With mixed feelings, he came to the peak of the Black Lotus headquarters and the exchange hall.
When he mentioned his "brilliant achievements", the monks who were responsible for calculating contribution points, registering contributions, and exchanging contributions were all stunned.
"Brother Taoist Messenger, are you saying that you, by yourself, with your foundation building skills, killed the Taoist lineage of Qianyun Pavilion, four golden elixirs, more than forty foundation building, and hundreds of inner disciples?"
"That's right!"
"Do you think we'll believe it?"
"I have already explained before that when they were teleporting over long distances, I interrupted them. They fell into the space channel and fell into the turbulent flow of space. I don't know whether they will live or die..."
"No, this is too mysterious, isn't it? The question is, according to what you said, you set a fire in the traitor Gongsun family, and then ran away, all the way back to the East China Sea. How did you know what happened next?"
"I..."
Lin Shan thought for a while, he couldn't expose Master Pei, otherwise he would be suspected of colluding with the Zhengdao camp, and he might be in trouble. He had no choice but to say that he had heard about it on the way to escape, and that this matter was within the Zhengdao camp.
It has been spread.
But the monks who contributed to the hall were still meticulous and needed to be fully confirmed. After all, according to what he said, an entire lineage of Taoism was wiped out. This contribution was too huge to be careless.
"First of all, there is no witness to confirm the authenticity of the experience you mentioned. The more than 20 people who are with you are also your direct descendants. What they said is not a reference, so we don't know the truth. Then...the only thing that can be proved is physical evidence."
"What physical evidence?"
"The corpses, natal magic weapons, and souls of the four golden elixirs in Qianyun Pavilion, even if they have severed limbs, are like this to their disciples."
"But... they fell into the turbulence of space. Where do you want me to collect them?"
"That means there are no witnesses or physical evidence, so there is no way to prove that you killed them? In this case, it will be very difficult for us, and the sect will not be able to provide any contribution points."
"No, doesn't our demonic path have an intelligence system? Can't we collect information from the righteous path and analyze it for me before testifying?"
"The front line has collapsed, the United Front Work Department has been destroyed, even the three joint law enforcement and detective teams have been surrounded in Qingzhou, and all major coastlines have been blocked by the righteous camp. The intelligence system has nothing but a few undercover agents hiding deep in the enemy camp. Basically they are all paralyzed.
Therefore, it is impossible to create a foundation-building envoy specifically for you to waste the few intelligence resources and risk exposing your identity to investigate and deliver news..."
Lin Shan's tone was stagnant. He really couldn't occupy public resources with his trivial matter, but the problem was that he didn't have any witnesses or material evidence. This was a complete misunderstanding.
If the former headmaster was still alive, he might be able to open a back door for him, but as for Protector Yan, he definitely had no such right.
"...No, then my credit will be buried like this?"
"There is no way, regardless of the lack of evidence, just falling into the space turbulence, although it is a narrow escape, it is not certain death. What if that lineage is really lucky enough to survive? Then how should this be calculated?
So...we can only give you credit unless it is proven that these people are 100% dead."
"Can you survive the space turbulence?" Lin Shan was a little incredible, thinking that this one-in-a-million probability was basically impossible, but recently, he always felt that something had something to do with him, and it seemed... Destiny plays devil’s advocate?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Lin Shan immediately shook his head and dismissed this ridiculous idea.
"Alright fellow Taoist, this matter needs to be confirmed for the time being. We will also find ways to help you collect relevant evidence. But don't have any expectations. As long as the Qianyunge lineage does not appear in the world for a day, it can only mean that they are Missing, not killed by you."
"..."
Lin Shan couldn't help it. According to the procedures and rules, there was nothing wrong with the reception.
The gang of Qianyun Pavilion, whether alive or dead, can't prove their achievements. It seems that this sky-high contribution point is not for them.
Unhappily, I returned to the mountainside and saw that my cave had not changed much after several months.
Now that the United Front Work Department of the three demon sects has been taken down once again, the temporary headquarters of the East China Sea can only wait passively, waiting for the three Nascent Soul ancestors who are still alive to come back to take charge of the overall situation, gather the remaining defeated soldiers, and carry out the next phase of the plan.
Lin Shan's little shrimp couldn't influence the higher-ups, so he could only stay in his cave, took out the spiritual liquid obtained from the "Spiritual Vein Tide" of the Gongsun family, and took out the virtual star disk to start assisting in cultivation.
…
Time flies by, and now more than half a year has passed.
In the past six months, a large number of the defeated demonic forces have fled back to the East China Sea. There is no need to explain what happened if they did not come back.
Fortunately, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors are back, and Linshan's backer, Protector Yan, is also back, and by the way, Luan Chun is also rescued. It must be said that the two masters and disciples have a deep love for each other.
The righteous coalition forces also took advantage of this period to fully recover the vast territory in the east, and surrounded and suppressed a large number of demonic monks. At the same time, they rehearsed their troops on the coastline and gathered their strength to make final preparations.
In fact, the eastern part of the Song Dynasty has been poisoned by the devil for more than ten years, and has secretly turned into a pool of muddy water. The righteous camp will not be able to fully control it unless it takes another few decades, but they can't wait any longer.
The three demonic sects occupy the East China Sea, which is like a lump in their throats. How can you allow others to snore on the side of your bed if you don't get rid of it?
Therefore, after hurriedly suppressing, dividing, wooing, and bloodbathing the eastern region, the righteous coalition decided to send troops to attack the East China Sea again!
At the same time, a secret urgent letter from the world of cultivation was delivered from the mainland of the Song Dynasty to the temporary headquarters of the East China Sea Demonic Path.
When Lin Shan opened this letter, he was completely confused.
It turned out that Lin Fan, his good brother in the Zixiao Sect, took great risks to secretly deliver the news to him, saying that the righteous coalition forces were about to attack the East China Sea. At the same time, they were secretly preparing to form a beheading team composed of high-level righteous monks with a direct target.
Refers to the Volcanic Islands, the temporary headquarters of the Demonic Path.
The intention is to attack Huanglong directly and complete the victory in one battle.
Counting from the time he received the letter, he only had one month to select elites from all forces and form a team, plus covert operations along the way to the East China Sea.
Advise Lin Shan to run away quickly!
It has to be said that Lin Fan is worthy of being a close relative of his own clan, and the only person in the Lin family who has embarked on the path to immortality.
If the true disciples found out about top-secret information such as snooping and passing it to the enemy, even the true disciples would not be able to live with it, but he still risked his life because he cared about the safety of his good friends.
This brother is really good at getting along!
Lin Shan closed the letter with a sigh on his face and a sense of urgency in his heart.
This time, the Righteous Path is determined to kill them all. They attack with external armies and use some Arrancars inside. Then the temporary headquarters of the Demon Path is destroyed and the East China Sea blooms. When the leaderless group of dragons and demon cultivators are left, the Demonic Path monks on various islands have no choice but to bow their heads and be punished.
So given the current situation, where should he go?
…
On the first day of September, the three major sects of the Right Way divided their troops into three groups and sent troops to the East China Sea.
Zixiao Sect is responsible for the northern part, Qianyun Pavilion is responsible for the middle part, and Yushou Valley is responsible for the southern part. The three groups come out together with the casual cultivators from various sects and families, known as an army of half a million monks!
Of course, everyone knows that this is absolutely impossible, and there must be a lot of moisture, but the three top sects sent nearly double-digit Nascent Soul Lords in this battle cannot do it falsely.
The three ancestors of the three demon sects had no choice but to continue to participate in the war, but they adopted wandering tactics. They seemed to be holding on to the last glimmer of hope, waiting for instructions from the distant Lu State General Forum, but as always they could not receive any news. .
With the righteous coalition forces pressing down on the situation, the demonic forces retreated steadily.
On the third day of September, the strategically important Diaozuo Island in the south was raided and fell, and thousands of warships set sail from the east of the Yangtze River.
On the sixth day of September, the first island chain in the south collapsed, and more than 300 islands were captured by the righteous coalition forces.
On the tenth day of the ninth month, the Central Sea Battle of Hongchen Island, which held out for ten days, was defeated, and the three Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Demonic Path were defeated and returned.
On September 11th, the Hutuo Islands in the north were attacked by the Zixiao Sect. The next target was the three sea areas of Jinsha, Linghai and Guangfeng.
On September 12, the Demonic East China Sea Temporary Headquarters once again issued a general mobilization order, and all logistics personnel and wounded soldiers participated in the battle. Lin Shan was forced to leave the customs, and was directly captured and hurriedly pulled to the front line.
…
Seven days later, Lin Shan fled from the front line back to the temporary headquarters in disgrace.
It's not that he wants to be a deserter, it's that this battle is simply impossible to fight.
After they arrived at the front line, they were met by an overwhelming number of warships and airships. The righteous coalition forces were several times their own strength and surrounded the island in front of them. The magic monks on the island were making their final struggle with a large formation.
This support team from the headquarters was also dumbfounded. The leader of the Golden Core Protector could either advance or retreat, but the righteous coalition forces in front didn't care about your concerns. They just divided their forces and fought fiercely.
Only this time did they realize that the strength of Qianyun Pavilion, the three top sects of the righteous way, and the weapon refining sect were not just bragging, they came to play with full firepower!
Battleships and airships adjusted their rune cannons one after another, and countless "magical weapon shells" came with tracking guidance. There were also bunches of spiritual energy beams densely arranged, arriving in an instant like laser weapons.
The leading Golden Core Protector tried to resist, but was instantly melted away by the opponent's firepower.
In the end, all the supporting troops were wiped out, and Lin Shan escaped with his life with the help of the Wind Escape Talisman and the Black Skull Demon Lord.
"This is so unreasonable! Is this a war in the world of immortality? The Golden Core Stage has also become cannon fodder..."
Lin Shan was still in shock when he escaped back. Under the concentrated fire of thousands of war magic weapons, he was a scum below the Nascent Soul stage and was not even qualified to splash a few waves.
At this time, no one at the headquarters was going to hold him accountable, because the entire East China Sea was in chaos. There were dozens or even hundreds of battlefields, and demonic teams disappeared or died every day.
It is said that the headquarters has constant quarrels every day, various decisions are changed day and night, and the top management is extremely busy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Shan, who had just returned to the cave, had not had time to think about the next step when he heard a exclamation from outside.
"Lin Shan! You are finally back. Come with me to see the master."
Lin Shan quickly walked out of the cave again and saw Luan Chun waiting anxiously outside the door. It turned out that Luan Chun came to him from time to time in the past few months, but he was either in seclusion or was pulled to the front line, and there was no trace of him at all.
When the little girl saw him coming out, she grabbed him and rushed directly towards Protector Yan's cave.
Arriving at Protector Yan's cave, Luan Chun took out his pass token and led Lin Shan in directly. He found that there was no one inside. Apparently Yan Yuanchun had gone out to do business.
Without saying a word, Luan Chun led Lin Shan and ran all the way, directly rushing up the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
Lin Shan saw many monks in the sect on the way. Most of them were walking in a hurry as if they were facing a powerful enemy. There was an atmosphere of a storm coming, as if the building was about to collapse. Everyone was prepared for the worst.
The two of them had already arrived at the meeting hall on the top of the mountain. This was the place where the master master and the guardians usually made decisions. Those in the foundation period were not qualified to enter, but now Luan Chun barged in without any explanation.
The meeting hall was also crowded at this time. Hundreds of monks in the foundation-building stage were whispering to His Highness. In the hall, more than thirty Dharma protectors in the golden elixir stage were arguing endlessly. There was only one Nascent Soul stage precepts king sitting at the top.
There was no trace of the other two Nascent Soul stage masters and the true master. Ever since the Zixiao Sect fell in the battle at the mountain gate, there had been no time to establish another master.
Lin Shan listened to the discussions around him and realized that the situation was extremely urgent.
"Tanma came to report that the second line of defense in the east has been broken, and the righteous monks are fully advancing on the third island chain."
"I heard that the Jiaoren tribe in the stormy sea area have risen up and are taking advantage of the enemy's rear."
"Your news is out of date. The Righteous Zixiao Sect has sent a large army to raid the northern seas, intending to cut off our retreat to the Lu Kingdom!"
"The Blood River Palace and Hundred Ghost Gate next door have secretly begun organizing evacuation to the north..."
…
The main hall was as noisy as a vegetable market. The demonic monks were noisy and noisy. Without the restraint of the leader, they were like headless flies, confused and not knowing what to do.
The golden elixir-level guardians in the temple were obviously the last ones who had escaped. They secretly communicated with each other and didn't know what they were arguing about. Most of them looked solemn and could not hide their pessimism.
The King of Precepts seemed not to care about anything at all, he just sat there alone with his eyes closed and his breathing adjusted.
Finally, after a few hours, the Golden Core Guardians concluded their secret discussion and each came down and took their subordinates out of the hall. Lin Shan and Luan Chun also quickly followed Guardian Yan.
After the group returned to Yan Protector's Cave, Luan Chun couldn't wait to rush into Yan Yuanchun's arms and asked about the outcome of this discussion. From his tone, it seemed that the Golden Core Protector had been discussing frequently recently, but there had been no progress.
Lin Shan did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. Since the death of Master Master Zhenren, Protector Yan has always been his most solid elder supporter and must not be disrespectful in the slightest.
Yan Yuanchun sighed and briefly explained the current situation.
Since the collapse of the defense line in the Luosong Mountains, the Demonic Alliance has been defeated again and again, with countless experts from all walks of life losing their lives.
In the end, the three remaining Nascent Soul monks from the three demon sects returned to the temporary headquarters of the East China Sea with a group of golden elixir protectors, and had no choice but to hurriedly form a new United Front Department and set up three temporary defense lines in the East China Sea.
But the gap in hard power lies here. Facing the counterattack of the righteous army, the demonic army cannot effectively resist. The front line is full of news of defeat every day, and here in the conference hall, after long discussions, no plan can be come up with.
In addition to wrangling all day long, there was only blame-shifting. Everyone was caring about their own interests and arguing over trivial matters.
Many Jindan phase guardians have secretly gathered their subordinates, planning to lead the team to escape back to the Lu Kingdom along the original route after all the frontline defense lines are broken. The reason why they are not escaping now is mainly because the Nascent Soul phase precepts King has not yet spoken, so no one dares
Take the first step.
Speaking of this, Yan Yuanchun sighed repeatedly and felt deeply helpless. The demonic monks could only fight against the wind. Once the wind went against them, each family would sweep away the snow in front of them. There was no unity and unity at all, so it was no wonder that they failed.
Lin Shan felt inexplicably anxious after hearing this, but he always remembered the encrypted letter Lin Fan sent him after leaving the border, saying that Zhengdao had formed a beheading team composed entirely of high-level monks, and was preparing to cross the defense line and raid the Donghai temporary headquarters.
Counting the time now, I'm afraid the one-month period is almost here!
