Chapter 1019: Secretly Assassinating Chen Cang
An earth-shattering battle, under the attention of the major powers in the Black Lotus Domain, ended in an anticlimactic manner. That's right, it's the end, both sides completely stop fighting, and no one continues to fight against the others.
The Yaowang Sect announced that Huo Hai had been seriously injured and might even die soon. Neither the Huo Family nor the Jiuxian Sect came forward to acknowledge this matter. There are so many skeletons here, so what if others believe them?
Besides, the major forces within the Yao Wang Sect have not become completely blind and do not know anything. Through some clues from the medicine kings, many big forces guessed that Huo Hai only suffered a minor injury and did not have much impact at all. Besides, no matter how influential or capable they are, do they dare to go to the Cross Canyon to find trouble for Huo Hai?
Even the Great Land Empire would not dare to send all its masters there easily when faced with a terrifying place like the Cross Canyon. In this case, even if they can win in the end, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses and fall from the position of the number one force.
On the contrary, the news that three Supreme Elders from the Yaowang Sect besieged Huo Hai and was seriously injured in the end was also spread by them. The reputation and prestige of Yaowang Sect has been suppressed a lot because of this incident, and it is no longer as arrogant as before.
In fact, while everyone was paying attention to both sides, both sides no longer planned to continue the war of attrition. The Yaowang Sect only placed some of the exotic beasts on the previous battlefield and did not allow others to come here to transport bones. On this battlefield, there are many bones that are useless to the Yaowang Sect. If Huo Hai gets it, the consequences will be serious.
With so many bones piled up, it would be enough to build a very large mountain. The Yaowang Sect secretly went all out to produce exotic beasts, and at the same time, the pace of expansion began to accelerate. All this is done in secret, and the outside world is completely unaware of it.
In the past, the method of forced expansion using alien beasts was rarely used by Yaowang Sect nowadays. On the contrary, the large number of masters collected through the Yaowang Sect secretly controlled those powerful sects one after another. This is what the Yaowang Sect did.
As long as the time comes to climb up and shout, the entire Black Lotus Territory will discover how terrifying the current Medicine King Sect is. The Yaowang Sect is an alchemy sect. There are all kinds of elixirs in the sect, including many for controlling people. Some relatively high-value elixirs are enough to control those masters in the spirit emperor realm, so that they dare not resist.
Huo Hai was also not idle when he was in action at Yaowang Gate. Although the injuries were relatively serious, they were all superficial injuries. At least for Huo Hai, they were not a troublesome matter. After returning, Huo Hai took some elixirs to heal his injuries.
It has only been three days, and it has not hindered my actions. For a whole month after that, Huo Hai claimed to the outside world that he was injured, so he stopped making skeletons and selling ghost bone insects.
All this is just an appearance. "Hmph, I haven't taken out the most elite group of skeletons yet. Let's play with it later." Huo Hai communicated with the star formation, and he was just acting as a transfer station. During this time, the Ghost Bone Insects were actually working hard to divide and reproduce. It's just that this time, the highest cultivation level of the split worm can reach the level of a second-level spiritual king.
Huo Hai announced his retreat to the outside world. Even Yaowangmen and Piaohua Pavilion didn't know to what extent Huo Hai's injuries had recovered at this time. Many sects in the outside world have begun to worry because Huo Hai was injured.
This also has the advantage of making everyone realize that although Huo Hai's threat is also great, it is far behind compared with Yaowang Sect. Before the Yaowang Sect was destroyed, Huo Hai would probably not be in any danger.
Some time ago, although Huo Hai had been dividing and selling the eggs of ghost bone insects, he would not actually reserve too many. A large part of the eggs reserved by Huo Hai were originally at the level of a second-level spirit king.
Now in full production, a month later, Huo Hai calculated that he had as many as one million eggs of ghost bone insects that had reached the second level of the Spirit King. If all of these were hatched, it would definitely be a very terrifying force. The speed of skeletons in the spirit king realm is not comparable to that of ordinary skeletons, and they are also very flexible.
After breaking through the earth level, even ordinary ghost bone insects contain very rich spiritual power. It can't be compared with normal spiritual masters, but there is no problem on the battlefield. It can fully support the entire battle.
Ranged attacks can be unleashed a lot easily, and are much faster and more powerful. With such an army numbering one million, I am afraid that if masters of the Spiritual Emperor realm dare to charge head-on, they will be seriously injured and run away in a short time.
If such an army of skeletons were created, Huo Hai would be sure to lead it directly towards Yaowang Gate. The spiritual power is thicker, and the fused spiritual power can withstand more. These skeletons are far from comparable to the so-called elite beasts. "Where should these things be hatched?" Huo Hai frowned and then began to flip through the atlas.
If anyone were here, they would find that the atlases Huo Hai turned over were all maps of the Great Land Empire. Huo Hai's thoughts are already clear. I’m afraid no one would think of hiding these skeletons in the Great Land Empire.
"As the most powerful force, the Haotu Empire will not be destroyed so easily. If even the Haotu Empire is destroyed, then it would not be a bad idea to directly attack Yaowang Sect on the land of the Haotu Empire. Their masters will arrive They will definitely all gather together when the time comes." Huo Hai said to himself as he found a suitable place.
Huo Hai's eyes lit up: "Very good, this is the place. The huge abandoned ruins, no one is active here anymore. It is very close to the capital of the Haotou Empire. It is really a good place." Huo Hai's eyes became brighter and brighter. .
After that, Huo Hai walked out without notifying anyone. Because it had been planned for a long time, Huo Hai's place of retreat was not in the Huo family's underground residence, but in a secret place in the canyon.
Now Huo Hai sneaked away without any trace at all. He was still wearing a black robe, but now he was under the protection of Xiaodie, and his aura and figure were completely hidden. As long as Huo Hai doesn't want to, there are only a handful of people who can discover Huo Hai in the entire Black Lotus Territory. Huo Hai walked through the air and ran out of the cross canyon quickly.
It can be seen from the air that a large number of skeletons are surrounding the Cross Canyon. Further away, the base where Yaowang Sect is located is also surrounded by a large number of skeletons. The two places are not very far apart, and they can completely help each other.
As for the further distance, it is where a large number of strange beasts gather. The battle line where these alien beasts gathered moved forward, obviously to surround the original battlefield. "Hmph, don't let me break the bones. It's all in vain."
No wonder Huo Hai disdains it. It is not easy to get bones on this front, but it is different in other places. Now Huo Men has issued a mission, calling on the casual cultivators hiding in the Cross Canyon to collect bones from the outside world. This matter is related to the lives of casual cultivators, and the rewards are also very generous. There is no need to fight those alien beasts on the front line.
So a large number of casual cultivators passed through the intersection of the Cross Canyon and came to the top of the Cross Canyon from other passages, avoiding the direction of erosion by the alien beasts, and went to other places to collect various bones. Especially in remote places, bones are piled up.
Huo Hai used up an entire mountain of bones, but now, the bones have piled up again. At least Huo Hai would be certain of facing another battle of the same level next time.
It's a pity that Huo Hai doesn't have time to think about this now. Huo Hai has other goals now. Soon, Huo Hai flew all the way to the border of the Haotu Empire. It's a very special feeling to come back after being away from the Haotu Empire for such a long time. Huo Hai sighed and slowly entered the border. This place was completely different from when I left.
At this time, more than a dozen fortresses had been established on the border of the Haotou Empire, forming a dense defense front like spiders. Huo Hai can see various traps in the air. After all, they are used to deal with large-scale enemies.
The fortress was crowded with people. Huo Hai only made a rough calculation along the way and found that the number of troops among them was at least three million. This does not include the number of skeletons purchased from Huo Hai.
Huo Hai himself clearly remembered that the skeletons he sold to the Haotu Empire were only two million, which was an upper limit for powerful forces like them. Although, the Haotu Empire does not trust these skeletons that are definitely controlled by Huo Hai. Along the way, Huo Hai sensed that there were at least three million skeletons below.
"The Haotu Empire is indeed an empire. It is indeed better than anyone else at such small tricks." Huo Hai sighed. He had long known that the Haotu Empire would definitely play tricks. For example, purchase skeletons directly from other sects.
Of course, there are many large and small forces in the vast empire. These forces are also eligible to purchase skeletons. When facing the Medicine King Clan army, these skeletons were gathered by the Haotou Empire royal family, and there was no problem.
If so many skeletons are completely gathered by then, it will not just be a problem of these three million. However, I don’t know how many bones are left in the Haotu Empire. Huo Hai sneered slightly in his heart, he had given instructions to all these ghost bone insects. There is not enough bone absorption to allow them to absorb spiritual energy on their own to create bone strengthening.
Forget it, why do you care so much? After crossing the defense line, Huo Hai easily penetrated deep into the vast empire. For experts, such a line of defense is simply a trick to fool people. To deal with masters, only masters of the same level can do it.
Going all the way deep, with Huo Hai's current strength, he went all out and reached the target area in less than a day.
