Chapter 667: Eastern Region Storm

"Tell me about it." Xiao Lin showed an expression of noncommittal on his face.

The old man surnamed Gu was silent for a while after hearing this, as if he was sorting out his words. After a moment, he said: "Two days ago, I saw the immortal light overflowing from the immortal master, and he had already reached the state of integration with the heaven and earth. I think the senior's realm is at least the late Jindan stage, right?"

Xiao Lin just nodded after hearing this, and did not speak. The immortal cultivators and mortals in the Eastern Territory live together, and many mortals are also very familiar with immortal cultivators.

What's more, the Gu family is one of the three major body refining families in Hanyuan Immortal City, and the knowledge of the children in the family is far beyond that of ordinary mortals.

Seeing Xiao Lin admit that he is a Jindan cultivator, the old man surnamed Gu was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he became more respectful. After a little hesitation, he began to talk about what he wanted.

It turned out that in the past twenty years, the Eastern Territory has become more and more uneasy, and the monsters in the Wanyao Outer Sea have begun to stir. Although the section of their road to Xiaoyu Island now belongs to the outer sea area,

But most of the islands along the way are occupied by humans, and there are dozens of large and small sects scattered around, which can be said to be a complex power.

In this sea area, true-level monsters often appear, but higher-level emperor-level monsters rarely appear.

So they are not worried about monsters along the way, but what worries them is human disasters.

Especially in an archipelago thousands of miles ahead, there is a small magic sect-Ghost Face Sect. The people of the sect usually cover their faces with ghost masks, and according to their status in the sect, they are divided into three types: blue ghosts, green ghosts and red ghosts.

Among them, the blue ghosts are the majority, most of them are in the realm of Qi Refining, the green ghosts are the disciples of the Ghost Face Sect in the Foundation Establishment period, and the red ghosts are relatively rare, but as long as they appear, their passing merchant ships will basically be looted.

If things go wrong, even your life will be lost. For this reason, the disciples of the Five Elements Alliance have also gone to encircle and suppress them for a period of time, but with little effect. The people of the Ghost Face Sect are also very cunning. Once there is a slight disturbance, they will break up into pieces and hide on the countless islands in a radius of ten thousand miles.

And there are countless mortals and low-level cultivators living on these islands, and this place is in a no-man's land where all kinds of people are mixed. Therefore, the Ghost Face Sect still often comes out to make trouble until now.

The Gu family originally hired a Jindan cultivator to accompany the fleet of supplies transported this time. However, before the departure, the Jindan cultivator suddenly had something to do, and the ship schedule could not be delayed. As a last resort, the Gu family could only send several mid-level upper-grade body refiners to accompany and protect them.

The purpose of the old man surnamed Gu coming to see Xiao Lin was very clear, that is, he hoped that Xiao Lin could replace the Jindan cultivator who had something to do temporarily and stay on their ship for a while. As long as he passed the sea area in front, it would be considered a complete merit, and the fleet would pay a reward of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, if Xiao Lin had any other requests, as long as they could be done, the old man surnamed Gu would agree to them.

After listening to this, Xiao Lin did not answer the old man surnamed Gu immediately, but instead pondered the pros and cons of this matter.

The main reason why he boarded the ship was that he did not want to be too conspicuous in the Eastern Territory, especially before he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he did not want to expose his identity. You must know that decades ago, the Jade Demon Concubine had posted her portrait all over the major immortal cities through the Six Paths of the Demon Palace.

And with the photographic memory of the immortal cultivators, as long as he showed up, it would be easy for others to find his trace. In order to avoid trouble, blending in with ordinary mortals is undoubtedly the best way.

With Xiao Lin's current worth, he naturally looked down on the mere 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. For him now, the most important thing is to find a place suitable for breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.

The old man in front of him has been sailing for many years, so he must be very familiar with the surrounding seas. As for the people from the Ghost Face Sect, they may not really let them run into him. Even if they do, he can use the secret technique of Yi Lingbian to change his appearance and drive them away. It should not be a difficult thing.

"Of course, if the red ghost from the Ghost Face Sect appears, the immortal master can leave on his own, instead of fighting for our lives with the people from the Ghost Face Sect. We can only blame our bad luck." It seems that he is worried that Xiao Lin will be concerned about the high-level cultivators of the Ghost Face Sect, so he spoke again.

"Okay, Xiao agrees to take this job, but there are some things to say in advance. Xiao will naturally protect you along the way, but if you encounter a cultivator with a higher cultivation level than Xiao, Xiao will leave directly when he is defeated, instead of fighting with him."

"Of course." The old man surnamed Gu agreed, and then clapped his hands. A big man pushed open the door and walked in, holding a heavy bag in his hand and placed it on the round table in the middle of the room.

After the big man left, the old man surnamed Gu smiled and said, "This is the reward from the immortal master, a full ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Xiao Lin did not even look at the spirit stones when he heard this, but said to the old man surnamed Gu, "I wonder if Manager Gu has a map of the surrounding sea area. Of course, the more and more detailed the better."

"The immortal master originally wanted to see the sea charts. We have quite a few on our ship. I will ask someone to send them to the immortal master later."

Xiao Lin nodded and continued, "You said that the Eastern Territory is not peaceful now, and the monsters in the Wan Yao Sea are ready to move. Are there any signs? In addition, Xiao has been in seclusion for decades. During these decades, the three major sects and the many forces in the Wan Yao Sea, tell Xiao about some of the things you know about them."

As Xiao Lin spoke, he stretched out his hand to the old man surnamed Gu, motioning him to sit down.

The old man surnamed Gu was flattered and thanked him repeatedly, then he pulled a chair and sat down diagonally opposite Xiao Lin.

Through the words of the old man surnamed Gu, Xiao Lin knew that a major event had happened in the East Territory in the past twenty years.

The leader of the Five Elements Alliance, the Golden Emperor, had passed away.

This really shocked Xiao Lin, and after looking at Xiao Lin, the old man surnamed Gu continued to narrate.

The Golden Emperor, the Jade Water Fairy of the Yushui Palace, and the Sky Demon of the Six Dao Kui Demon Palace were collectively known as the three giants of the East Territory, and they were also the three famous great cultivators in the East Territory.

Therefore, the passing away of the Golden Emperor was undoubtedly a heavyweight information, which spread throughout the entire East Territory in an extremely short time.

The most important thing is that after the passing away of the Golden Emperor, the Five Elements Alliance did not give birth to a new great cultivator, so naturally no one was qualified to inherit the position of the leader, and the five sect leaders were all eyeing the position of the leader.

This led to signs of division in the Five Elements Alliance.

The Water Control Palace and the Six Paths Demon Palace have also begun to encroach on the sea area controlled by the Five Elements Alliance from the north and south. If it were not for the pressure from the Water Control Palace and the Six Paths Demon Palace, the five leaders of the Five Elements Alliance would have fought for the position of leader.

In order to resist the erosion of the Water Control Palace and the Six Paths Demon Palace, the five leaders of the Five Elements Alliance began to shrink their forces in the sea outside the Eastern Territory and began to focus on defending some medium and large fairy cities to prevent the Water Control Palace and the Six Paths Demon Palace from taking the opportunity to annex them.

It is not easy for the Water Control Palace and the Six Paths Demon Palace to annex the Five Elements Alliance. The wealth accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years has made it difficult for either the Water Control Palace or the Six Paths Demon Palace to take the opportunity to annex the Five Elements Alliance.

No matter which side is injured, the other side will definitely not take advantage of the opportunity. This also makes the two major sects, although they have been making some small moves, not attacking cities with great fanfare.

As soon as the Five Elements Alliance's power in the Wan Yao Sea began to shrink, it was also noticed by the keen demons. It was heard that a large number of demons had begun to gather in the depths of the Wan Yao Sea.

It was said that at least five or six of the ten major demon tribes had appeared in the Wan Yao Sea. In recent years, it was not uncommon for the entire island to be slaughtered by demon beasts overnight.

Even several small immortal cities overseas were occupied by demons, and the immortal cultivators and mortals in the city were slaughtered.
