Chapter 902: Preparing for War
"What? Tai Ling Patriarch returned? And destroyed the Ice Emperor Island thousands of miles away?"
It was several days later when Lu Yu learned the news.
At this time, the strange phenomenon above Yudie Peak finally stopped. He had completed the suppression of Zhenyuan Jinghai, making it reach a stable state, and successfully entered the Dark Realm, which is the fourth level of Guihai Realm.
With such a realm of cultivation, if the number of years of entry is sufficient, it is already qualified to be promoted to a deacon, which is a very rare existence among the true disciples.
Moreover, Lu Yu's Guihai Realm is different from ordinary ones. His Guihai Realm is enough to be on par with the Jindan Realm.
However, he had no time to be happy, and was shocked by the news that Tai Ling Patriarch had returned.
"Hiss, he destroyed an Ice Emperor Island with one hand thousands of miles away... Even if he has such ability, why doesn't he directly attack Chongguang Island or Piaomiao Peak?" Lu Yu couldn't help but say.
Chongguang Island is the land of the head of Yuhai Xianzong, and Piaomiao Peak is the land of the head of Wuya Xiange. Its status is equivalent to Wangyue Peak of Dali Jianzong. If we attack these two places directly, the effect will undoubtedly be more shocking.
"Chongguang Island and Piaomiao Peak are the top priorities of the two sects. They are guarded by their own heads. Their defense is far beyond ordinary places. Even if Tailing Patriarch has boundless magic power, this is an offensive across thousands of miles. I am afraid that it is beyond his ability to achieve such a degree..." Yang Chudie explained.
Lu Yu nodded. He could understand what he said.
Even with the cultivation of Tiangang Realm, it is not omnipotent.
Although this attack ability from thousands of miles away seems to be amazing, it is actually limited to a certain extent. Otherwise, with the scale of the Tiangang Realm Patriarch of Wuya Xiange, I am afraid that Wulao Peak and Wangyue Peak would have been destroyed long ago.
This shows that Tailing Patriarch had known about the lack of internal defense on Binghuang Island, so he attacked it.
Whether he expected it or learned about it through other channels, it shows that he acted after careful planning, and was not as reckless and impulsive as he seemed on the surface.
And his actions did have a far greater deterrent effect than the actual effect.
You should know that Yuhai Xianzong has dozens of islands under its jurisdiction. Although Binghuang Island ranks second, it does not play a key role in the overall strength of Yuhai Xianzong. What's more, the main force of Yuhai Xianzong has been transferred to the floating warships, and the remaining disciples on the island are some weak remnants.
However, it is undeniable that his deterrence is indeed effective.
At least when Lu Yu heard the news just now, he was shocked.
After the long-range attack that day, except for Yuhai Xianzong and Wuya Xian Pavilion, all major sects sent greetings to Tailing Patriarch.
"Did you witness the scene at that time?" Lu Yu asked Yang Chudie.
Yang Chudie shook her head and said, "You were in seclusion in the Yin-Yang Cave at that time, how could I leave without permission? But someone later told me all the scenes at that time... I think we need to be careful, because after the Tailing Patriarch came, the first person to ask about it was you, and the tone was quite intriguing..."
"What? Could it be that this ancestor came back just for me?" Lu Yu asked in surprise.
"No one can tell the truth except Tailing Patriarch himself..." Yang Chudie's pretty face showed a worried look, "However, after this incident, we have to be more careful..."
Lu Yu looked at her face, which seemed to be hesitant to speak, and immediately understood her thoughts...
In the final analysis, his promotion made too much noise. At that time, thousands of lotus flowers were floating in the sky. Ordinary people saw the truth in it, but if this scene fell into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, I am afraid that the secret of his possession of lotus seeds could no longer be hidden.
When Lu Yu was promoted to the Return Sea Realm on Chiyan Island, his mind and consciousness passed through the Nine Heavens and reached out to the outer space, but he was intercepted by several Tiangang Realm masters in the Nine Heavens. Thanks to the cover of the Yunxiao Patriarch, he finally succeeded. This shows that his existence has long been an inexplicable attraction to the masters in the Nine Heavens. Now that he is completely exposed, it may not be impossible to attract more covetousness.
And the Tailing Patriarch came at this time, and his attitude is intriguing, so his intention is probably also difficult to figure out.
"What has this ancestor been doing these days?" Lu Yu asked again.
"Giving advice to all the real people and disciples; counting all the supplies, supporting the disciples' cultivation to the best of his ability; and checking the combat readiness of each mountain..."
Yang Chudie replied.
"Although it has only been a few days, it has been very effective... Under his advice, not only has Master Maoye's control over the Hate Water Sword reached a new level, but even the Master's injuries have greatly improved..."
"In short, the feeling that the entire Dali Sword Sect gives me now, if I use one word to describe it, it is 'preparing for war'."
Lu Yu nodded silently in his heart, thinking that he was indeed worthy of being the Tiangang Patriarch. The changes he brought to the Dali Sword Sect were beyond the reach of anyone else. Even Li Wangji, the head of the sect, did not have such appeal.
"However, this happened a few days ago..."
Suddenly, Yang Chudie changed her tone and said, "I heard that he has been obsessed with something in the past two days..."
"Oh? What is it?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
Yang Chudie glanced at him and said, "It's the Shensi Seal Paper you left behind when you attacked the Golden Rooster Islands before..."
Lu Yu was stunned.
In order to fight against the floating fleet of the Yuhai Xianzong, he imitated the Li Tian Sword Classic and designed a set of combination skills, which he taught to a group of real masters through Shensi Seal Paper.
That set of combined skills is indeed extremely mysterious, but it is designed based on the Dark Star Sword Art. If you don't master the Dark Star Sword Art, those divine thoughts are just a pile of waste paper, without any meaning. I didn't expect that Tailing Patriarch would be interested in these...
"In that case, I will go to meet this Tailing Patriarch in person!" Lu Yu said, "If you want to find out what his purpose is, you can only ask him in person..."
"No, you can't go to see him now..." Yang Chudie said.
Lu Yu was puzzled: "Why? Although he is the Tiangang Patriarch, he must be very busy now, but with my current identity, he will not close the door to me, right?"
Yang Chudie subconsciously glanced around and lowered her voice: "This is what the head master meant... He specifically asked Fang Haoran to come and tell you not to go directly to Tailing Patriarch. If you have to go, then before going to see him, you must go to Wangyue Peak first..."
Lu Yu was stunned.
What does this mean?
It seems that Li Wangji knows something about the inside story?
"In that case, I'll go to Moon-Watching Peak first!"
