Celestial being

Zhuang Lin didn't say anything, and immediately bowed to Yuan Ming, then took out a long knife and walked towards Liu Si with murderous intent.

Yuan Ming also temporarily dispelled the illusion on Liu Si, allowing him to clearly feel the pain Zhuang Lin inflicted on him. As the screams rang out, Zhuang Lin's two junior sisters also woke up and understood the cause and effect. He immediately stepped forward with resentment in his eyes and vented his anger on Liu Si with one knife after another.

After burning the incense, Liu Si was completely dead, and his body no longer resembled a human being.

But Zhuang Lin was a little stunned at this time. He suddenly put down the long sword, turned around, and walked to the heads of the island owner and Junior Brother Qiu with some staggering. Recalling the scenes in the past, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down with a "plop". He fell to the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried silently.

After a while, Zhuang Lin gathered her mood, stood up again, and saluted Yuan Ming.

"Qiuxiang Island Zhuang Lin, thank you senior for saving me."

"I have a personal grudge against the Wuyue Sect. Now that we have met, we will not let it go easily." Yuan Ming waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite.

"Even so, senior saved our lives after all. Such a great kindness will be unforgettable by this junior. If ordered, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Zhuang Lin bowed again.

"There's no need to go through fire and water. I really need your help right now." Yuan Ming shook his head and said.

"But it depends on senior's orders." Zhuang Lin said quickly.

"When the Wu Yue Sect rebellion broke out, I was still exploring the outer sea. I have just returned to the inland sea recently and I don't know much about the current situation. Please tell me in detail." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay, now in the East China Sea, nearly half of the islands are occupied by the Wu Yue Sect. Some of them were conquered by force, but some of them took the initiative to defect there, and some were even some casual cultivators who took advantage of the chaos and pretended to be Wu Yue. Those who were seized by the believers were finally recognized by the Wuyue Sect." Zhuang Lin said immediately.

"Nearly half...where are those first-class islands?" Yuan Ming pondered for a moment.

"Among the first-level islands, the four islands of Fusang, Jin'ao, Kongling, and Dihua were forcibly captured by the Wuyue Sect. It is said that only a very small number of people escaped, and the four islands were equivalent to total annihilation; Yehuo, Thousand Snakes, and Hong Yusandao took the initiative to join the Wuyue Sect shortly after the riot; Qianlong, Bijiao, Yuzhu, Hongye and Wanhua all now belong to the East China Sea Alliance, but due to their geographical location, the first two and the latter three They are separated by the Wuyue Sect and it is difficult to communicate with each other, and there is news that the Wuyue Sect is now attacking the three Yuzhu Islands with all its strength, and has formed a situation of encirclement." Zhuang Lin said clearly.

"East China Sea Alliance?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.

"This starts from the beginning of the East China Sea Rebellion. I wonder if the seniors know it. The East China Sea Rebellion first started in Fusang. It is said that a teleportation array leading to Sanxian Island appeared on the island, which attracted all the island owners Yuanying. Entering, Wu Yue Sect found the opportunity to capture several islands in succession. Not long ago, the disappeared Fusang Island Master Wan Tianren returned with Jin Ao Island Master and others, calling on the East China Sea monks to jointly fight against Wu Yue Sect, and thus gathered together They gathered a large number of manpower and took the name of the East China Sea Alliance to prepare to counterattack the Wuyue Sect. Not long ago, in order to resolve the crisis on the Yuzhu Islands, the East China Sea Alliance issued a summons to the entire East China Sea, inviting the East China Sea cultivators to go to Zinan located in the waters of Hongye Island. Island to participate in the decisive battle," Zhuang Lin said.

"I see, but it seems that the situation in the East China Sea Alliance is not very optimistic." Yuan Ming suddenly murmured.

"Well, it is said that this is because the Wuyue Sect is too powerful. The monks under its command far exceed those of the East China Sea Alliance. Moreover, in terms of high-end combat power, there are two sages in the Wuyue Sect. Legend has it that Wan Island Master once brought They were ambushed once, but in the end they were so defeated that they almost didn't escape alive." Zhuang Lin looked worried.

"Since the situation in the East China Sea Alliance is so bad, why do you still want to join? Why don't you surrender directly to the Wuyue Sect like Qian Sheyehuo Erdao, and you can still save a life." Yuan Ming asked.

"Although we may die if we join the East China Sea Alliance, at least we are still people from the East China Sea. But once we join the Wu Yue Cult, we may not even have the basic rights of human beings, and will only become slaves of those Wu Yue Cults. Senior, Qin Ke You know that the Wuyue Sect implements a blood tax and soul tax system. Each island needs to pay a certain amount of population and souls every month according to its level. Regardless of the source, regardless of the source, whether you use the mortals under your rule to refine it, it is It doesn't matter if you go to kill other island monks to collect them, as long as you pay the blood tax and soul tax, you will be temporarily recognized and protected by the Wuyue Sect, otherwise, it will be endless pursuit and encirclement." Zhuang Lin said with lingering fear.

Yuan Ming was silent. Although he came here at a high speed, he also saw many miserable conditions on the islands under the rule of Wuyue Sect. Ten houses were empty, and mourners were everywhere. Even the words "purgatory on earth" were not enough to summarize it. Such a bloody scene.

If the Wuyue Sect really takes control of the East China Sea one day, I am afraid that this boundless blue sea will be stained red with blood.

After Yuan Ming understood the situation, he did not stay long. After bidding farewell to the Qiuxiang Island group, he boarded the Thunderstorm and headed straight for Zinan Island.

On the way, Yuan Ming easily transformed the Wuyue cultist he had just captured into a blood slave, and also conducted a soul search.

Compared to Zhuang Lin, these Wuyue cultists know more information and are more specific.

Now the Wu Yue Sect's army has indeed surrounded the three islands of Yuzhu, but unlike Yuan Ming's expectation, Lord Bai Gu, as the commander of the Wu Yue Sect's East China Sea army, did not order a storm. Instead, he prepared to use siege methods to force the three islands to surrender.

The reason seems to be that Lord Bones wants to preserve the supplies stored on these three islands to the maximum extent, so as to fill the logistical shortage of Wuyue Sect.

Thinking about it, the monks on the three islands of Yuzhu are not good at fighting, but they have made great achievements in refining elixirs, cultivating medicines and making talismans. These three islands can be said to be the richest islands in the East China Sea. The resources reserved on the islands are close to Accounting for half of the entire East China Sea circulation.

If this place can be captured, the Wuyue Sect will no longer have to worry about logistical supplies, and the East China Sea will basically be declared occupied.

The East China Sea Alliance is naturally aware of this, and has just summoned the East China Sea cultivators to prepare to complete their achievements in one battle.

The Yuzhu Three Islands did not sit still and waited for death. They did not know what means they used to move all three islands to one place and set up an extremely powerful formation outside the island. The Wuyue Sect's previous attempts were actually Being blocked by the formation, no one from Yuzhu Island was even seen.

This may also be a major reason why Lord Bones ordered the siege.

The Wu Yue Sect's siege was not just a siege. Under the auspices of Lord Bai Gu, they also deployed a red blood and red sand formation outside the large formation covering the three islands. They turned against the guests and completely trapped the three islands of Yuzhu to death. Inside, Mishima was cut off from the possibility of communicating with the outside world.

The East China Sea Alliance is now blocked by this formation. It cannot get the logistics resources of the Yuzhu Islands, but also has to face the Wuyue Sect army in the formation. It cannot retreat, but it is also difficult to attack. It can It is said that he is too exhausted to get off the tiger.

Judging from the memories of these believers, the situation in Donghai is worse than Zhuang Lin said.

Yuan Ming had to say he was disappointed with Wan Tianren's performance, but when he thought about how he was able to maintain a certain front even when Fusang Island's troops were almost completely wiped out and many first-level islands defected, it was still considered as his best effort.

At this thought, Yuan Ming sighed in his heart, and then patted the thunderstorm, making it speed up.

…

In the central hall of Zinan Island, Wan Tianren was at the head of the table, with several Nascent Soul Stage monks sitting on both sides.

This not-so-grand hall has now become a meeting place for senior officials of the East China Sea Alliance. People come and go every day, and senior officials in the Nascent Soul stage are constantly arguing.

But with the defeat of the war, the atmosphere in the hall became heavier day by day, and the entire Zinan Island was filled with panic, and everyone's heart was filled with worry.

"Today, people from four second-level islands responded to the summons and came to seek refuge. However, the existing residences on the islands are almost not enough. Some monks have already had a private dispute over this matter. Although they have not taken action, if this continues, , sooner or later there will be trouble." To the left of Wan Tianren, an old man with white hair in Taoist robes said worriedly.

"The inventory of elixirs, especially wound elixirs, is about to bottom out. At present, I have summoned most of the alchemists on the island to refine the elixirs day and night, but the supply still cannot keep up, and the alchemy period is still low. There is also some shortage of spiritual materials, so we must quickly find one or two more stable sources." Next to the old man, a middle-aged monk in green robes spoke.

"A small group of Wuyue cultists appeared near Yanxia Island. The monks stationed there fought with them and suffered heavy casualties. It wasn't until someone from the nearby island came to support that the Wuyue cultists were driven away. The subsequent compensation had to be squeezed out. , In addition, in the future, those monks who are sent out to station on the surrounding islands, it is best to give them more life-saving talismans and elixirs, otherwise they will die." As soon as they finished speaking, on the right side of Wan Tianren, a Sharman tribe The middle-aged man took over the conversation.

"Hey, who's hands are tight now? How can there be extra talismans and elixirs that can be mixed out? Let's make do with them first. The bulk has to be left to the team responsible for attacking. As long as they can counterattack from the Wuyue Sect. With one or two islands, the situation here can be alleviated a lot." The white-haired old man sighed.

"We can't hold the defense, and we still want to counterattack? And now we have no energy to regain the lost territory. Every time we capture an island, we just plunder it and leave. If this continues, what is the difference between us and the Wuyue Sect? It's just a comparison of strength. They are just weak!" The big man from the Shark race looked ugly.

"What are you talking about? We are searching for resources to deal with Wuyue Sect and for the peace and stability of the entire East China Sea. If we starve ourselves because of these unnecessary kindness, then we are stupid, not to mention us The islands we looted all belong to the Wuyue Sect. If we don’t take those supplies, they will have to give them to the Wuyue Sect sooner or later, which will give the enemy an advantage in vain." Next to the big man from the Shark Clan, a young man from the Water Ape Clan smiled disdainfully.
