Chapter 999 Public

If the vassal forces are recruited, not only will they have to pay a spiritual object at the beginning, but they will also have to give certain compensation if they make great sacrifices or losses. This is not cost-effective for the Dongyuan Sect.

It is impossible to send away the vassal forces with just a few promises like the previous war between the two camps, right? !

If the Dongyuan Sect really does this, it will really be demoralizing. Not to mention that no forces may be willing to join them in the future, and the existing vassals may even have plans to defect.

"Indeed, recruiting vassal forces is not cost-effective. It is better to let those casual cultivators work harder, and at most they will pay a spiritual object."

If casual cultivators die at the hands of the water monster, no matter how many die, the Dongyuan Sect does not need to pay the price. From this aspect, it can save a lot of spiritual objects.

The Dongyuan Sect has a rich family background and a large business, but the expenditure is also very large. Any savings are a little bit.

And as mentioned before, if the sea clan launches an attack, the attacked forces will definitely take action. After all, the spiritual islands have been developed for so many years, and it is a period of great harvest. If they are taken away by the sea clan, it is equivalent to burning all the efforts made in the previous years.

Therefore, the requirements of the Dongyuan Sect are not high, as long as they can defend their own territory.

After discussing the strategy, the Dongyuan Sect began to act.

The preparations for the war, the recruitment of scattered cultivators, and the notification of various vassal forces were carried out at the same time.

Among them, the notification of various forces was completed in just five days!

You must know that the territory of the Dongyuan Sect is millions of miles large. If it includes the sea area, it will be even more vast. It took such a short time to notify everything in place, which shows how strong the control of the Dongyuan Sect over its territory is!

As one of them, the Li family naturally received reminders and requests from the Dongyuan Sect.

Remind the sea clan of the possible actions to be taken next, and ask the Li family to defend the territory and not be taken away by the sea clan.

"Is this the view of the Dongyuan Sect?" Da Qing frowned.

He actually had some doubts about the true movements of the sea clan!

Although it is a tacit rule that higher-level creatures do not attack lower-level creatures, there are many prerequisites. For example, if a certain combined demon cultivator kills a large number of low-level cultivators and no conclusive evidence is found, it does not count even if there is great suspicion.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this unspoken rule is not actually a tacit agreement established to protect low-level creatures, but to protect those young people with good backgrounds and great potential.

Because they have a lot of life-saving spiritual objects and means in their hands, and they can also let their backers see who killed them.

In the war, the binding force of this unspoken rule is not very strong.

In other words, under the condition that the two sides do not have equal strength, this unspoken rule cannot actually restrain the stronger party.

Because as long as they act cleanly and neatly after taking action, and are not caught by others afterwards, it is not considered to have violated the unspoken rule!

And now, for various considerations, the Dongyuan faction has chosen a more stable way and has no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

Once the sea clan knows this, they will probably secretly send some high-level water monsters to take action. They don't need too many. As long as they can occupy a part of the sea area, the sea clan will break the defense line of the cultivators, and it will be more convenient to take action in the future, nibbling away step by step and taking back more sea areas.

After listening to Da Qing's concerns, Jiang Fengwu also felt that his speculation was more reliable. The response of the Dongyuan Sect was too weak and handed over the initiative.

"But the family is too weak now and has no say at all, so don't think too much now, and try your best to keep Wanling Island."

Da Qing sighed helplessly and nodded in the end. As Jiang Fengwu said, they can't control the overall situation. All they can do is to protect their own interests.

Besides, the Dongyuan Sect is not stupid. If the next move of the sea clan is really what Da Qing thinks, then they will definitely react.

"By the way, Wanling Island is a spiritual stone vein. Has it been mined?" Jiang Fengwu asked in a voice transmission.

If the spirit stone mine is mined out, if it really comes to the point of abandoning Wanling Island, mining clean spirit stone mines can at least make up for some of the family's losses.

"There is still the most core mineral source left. The family's arrangement is to seal the vein for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, and try to breed a new small spirit stone mine."

This method is very common. Any force that controls the mineral vein with mineral sources will do this, and the success rate is very high, but it takes too long.

Jiang Fengwu understood and said, "Next, we will be prepared to resist the powerful offensive of the sea clan, and I will also speed up the improvement of the island protection formation."

"Okay, then it will be hard for you, sister-in-law Jiu."

After discussing it, the two went to work separately.

Then all the clansmen on Wanling Island were busy, and at the same time, several clansmen were sent to tell the family about Daqing's guess and response, so that they could provide support and logistics.

——

In the deep sea, it should be a dark seabed, but now it is emitting all kinds of bright treasure light, and the luminous body is a crystal glazed palace covering a huge area.

In the palace, there are a large number of sea immortals and human immortals.

I don't know what they discussed, but to get so many fairyland water monsters together, there must be something very important.

"Dongyuan Sect didn't make any big moves? Do you think they are pretending, deliberately making it up to deceive people, or are they really just passively defending?"

"I think they are setting up a trap to lure us into it!"

"But the Dongyuan Sect is not taking any action now. As long as we move fast enough, we can occupy and hold some sea areas before they react, and the monks will be helpless against us."

The two sides argued endlessly, and no one could convince the other. After some discussion, they made a choice.

"If you want to take back the offshore area from the monks, you must use some abnormal means and take a big risk." The human immortal of the dragon clan spoke, interrupting the quarrel between the two sides.

After it spoke, the decision of the sea clan had actually been made, because it was not only it, but also represented the strongest dragon clan.

"This method can only be used once! So should we consider occupying more sea areas before the Dongyuan Sect reacts?"

"But in this way, our strength will also be dispersed. I still think we should avoid its edge first, and continue with the second step after completing the first step."

With the brainstorming of a large number of fairyland water monsters, they have made a decision to hand it over to the sixth and seventh level water monsters below, who will be responsible for the attack and lead other water monsters to defend the occupied sea areas.

Time passed in a flash.

On a cloudy day with continuous drizzle, the sea clan launched a surprise attack on several places!

It was no longer the beast tide of all third- and fourth-level water monsters as in the past. There were also a large number of fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-level water monsters. The cultivators were caught off guard and were beaten back step by step. The most important thing was that they lost the sea area they occupied.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The moment the cultivators were driven away, the sea clan boiled up. A large number of water monsters were dispatched to dismantle the islands on the sea surface, and then smashed them, or directly dragged them into the deep sea, leaving no place for the cultivators to stand.

After a large number of cultivators fled, the news spread quickly to many forces as if it had wings.

"Sure enough! You guessed it right."

Jiang Fengwu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and asked, "What should we do now?"

Although the sea area taken back by the sea clan is still some distance away from the Wanling Island of the Li family, if they don't find a way to solve it, one day this fire will burn on themselves.

"All we have to do now is wait!" Da Qing said calmly.

Wait for the Dongyuan Sect to discuss new countermeasures; wait for the main family to send new clansmen to join the war, and various strategic materials prepared during this period.

Because they have completed everything they can do.

"Damn it!"

"The sea clan actually used this method to seize the offshore area?"

Less than a few hours after the sea clan recaptured several islands, the Dongyuan Sect received the news, and the fairyland was furious, because of the previous misjudgment, they are now in a huge passive situation.

"We must not let the sea clan gain a foothold, otherwise many territories in the offshore area will be taken away by them! We must show our true strength to fight!"

At this point, there is nothing to discuss, and the situation is urgent. However, half an hour later, the Dongyuan Sect flew out a spirit ship full of monks to the sea occupied by the sea clan.

The sea clan acted simultaneously in the entire offshore area, so not only the Dongyuan Sect, but also the remaining two fairyland forces quickly made strategies.

It seems that a new battle between the two camps is about to begin!

But at this time, a major event occurred that shocked the entire Yuanling Realm and attracted the attention of all living beings in the world.

Compared with this, the war that was about to break out seemed particularly insignificant. Neither side continued to invest more strength, but instead reduced the scale and intensity of the war.

——

It was said that in the Zhang family's territory.

"Patriarch, some clansmen found traces of mining in the Qianchong Mountains." A certain elder suddenly reported a major news.

The Zhang family leader was not too surprised. It was just a vein. The Zhang family was not without it. Not to mention the original veins, just after obtaining the Qianchong Mountains, the Zhang family discovered several spiritual veins. Of course, he was not as surprised as the first one.

"Then Patriarch, do you know what kind of vein this is?"

"I don't know."

"It's a seventh-level refined gold vein!"

Click -

When the Zhang clan leader, who was handling affairs, heard this, the spiritual pen in his hand fell directly, and he stood up in disbelief, and asked with excitement on his face: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Such an important matter, how dare I lie." The elder told the location of the vein.

Zhang, the clan leader, suddenly recalled the actions of the demon clan. Now he understood why the demon clan suddenly attacked the monks.

The demon clan should have discovered the mineral vein, but because of the bad location, they were worried that the monks would find them when mining, so they wanted to drive the monks away, but they were expelled instead.

After so many years, it saw the light of day again and was discovered by the Zhang family.

The elder paused, smiled bitterly and said, "But now there is a big problem, that is, among the several clan members who discovered this mineral vein, a monk who married into the family disappeared."

"Damn it! It's not my family members who really have second thoughts!" Zhang, the clan leader, cursed and vented, and soon calmed down and thought about how to deal with this matter.

The escaped monk who married into the family would definitely find a way to use the news of the refined gold vein to obtain rich benefits from other forces, and he couldn't succeed quickly.

So the Zhang family must seize this free time to secretly mine some refined gold.

It's not that Zhang, the clan leader, doesn't want to monopolize the refined gold vein. If the Zhang family can take it down, it will greatly enhance the strength of the family! The more benefits he will get.

But there was no way, someone had already escaped with the news.

But unexpectedly, the news would spread so quickly!

They had just entered the mine and hadn't mined the first piece of raw stone yet, and a cultivator came.

And this was only a few hours after Zhang Zongchang knew about the refined gold mine.

"Didn't that bastard directly announce the address?" Zhang Zongchang cursed in his heart, looking at the cultivators opposite, his face was extremely ugly.

In fact, Zhang Zongchang really misunderstood.

It was not the cultivator who married into the family who made the news public, but the work of the demon clan!

The demon clan arranged some special restrictions at the entrance of the mine. As long as there are creatures entering the mine, those demon clans will know, and then they will directly announce the news!

If the news is not made public, wouldn't the refined gold be obtained by one family?

On the contrary, if the news is made public, it will attract the attention of all the creatures in the entire Yuanling Realm, muddying the situation. They may have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to get one or two more refined gold.

The cultivator who first arrived at the mine was from a combined force in Wanzhuzhou. His strength might not be as good as Zhang's, but the gap was not that big.

If they fought at this time, it would be a waste of this great opportunity to obtain refined gold, so through negotiation, the two sides reached a consensus on their goals.

They would not attack each other for the time being, and each would look for refined gold based on its own ability.

Both sides did not waste time and took action immediately.

However, the forces from all sides flocked to the mine, and the speed at which they arrived exceeded everyone's expectations, so the two forces did not have much time to mine refined gold.

"Refined gold mine..."

The Li family, who were also in the Qianchong Mountains, naturally knew the information about the mine.

"Could it be true?"

At first, Li Xunda did not believe the news because it was too strange!

How could such important information be leaked?

But with the arrival of a large number of creatures, not only cultivators, but even the figures of demons and sea creatures could be seen, Li Xunda's thoughts also changed.

Then he told Li Zhirui the news as soon as possible.

"It turned out to be a refined gold vein. No wonder we didn't see any seventh-level monsters during the battle." Li Zhirui suddenly realized.

If it was a refined gold vein, then it would make sense!

The reason why the group of seventh-level monsters didn't show up was probably because they were mining the refined gold in the vein.
