"Deputy Palace Master? Huangfu Jue?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Yes, he is a Dzogchen monk in the Return to the Void Realm, and his combat prowess is extraordinary. It is because of him leading the team that so many island owners are willing to follow. If it were other late-stage Return to the Void Realm monks who led the team, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any So many people responded." Fairy Yunluo nodded and said.

"Indeed. But this also shows that this time it will definitely be a tough battle." Yuan Ming said slowly after hearing this.

"Haha, I am very aware of Fellow Daoist Yuan's strength. I will accompany you all the way this time. Fellow Daoist Yuan must protect me." Fairy Yunluo said with a chuckle.

Yuan Ming did not answer and smiled noncommittally.

At this moment, several rays of light flew from Dongji Island and landed on the giant boat crossing the sea.

The light faded away, and several figures appeared. Standing in the center was a young man wearing a dragon-patterned brocade robe. He had a rather handsome face, with well-defined facial lines, and a pair of eyes with a faint golden light, which looked very sharp. .

The auras of the people standing on both sides of him were not weak, and one of them was Mo Sanqi, the elder of Dongji Palace whom Yuan Ming knew.

As soon as these people appeared, their powerful momentum immediately shocked everyone on the ship, and the originally noisy deck suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes fell on the man in brocade robes, as if waiting for his instructions.

"Everyone, Huangfu Jue, I would like to trouble you all to follow me to Heimo Island. The rewards for meritorious service are right before your eyes, and you can take them as you please." The man in brocade robes glanced at everyone and spoke concisely.

There were no pleasantries to bring people closer together, and there were no inspiring slogans. They were spoken very casually and even seemed a bit sloppy.

It didn't feel like leading a team on a battle, but like leading everyone on a trip. But it was this attitude that gave everyone the greatest confidence.

In the crowd, someone immediately complimented and shouted: "We are honored to be able to go to war with the deputy palace master."

Immediately, there were shouts of "what an honor" on the deck.

After everyone calmed down, Mo Sanqi and several other elders began to divide the teams and lay out tactics for the monks who were going to fight on the island.

Only then did Yuan Ming realize how powerful this team was. It turned out that except for the deputy palace master Huangfu Jue who led the team, who was a Dzogchen monk in the Void Return Stage, the other elders were also monks in the Void Return Stage.

In addition to the original monks of Dongji Palace and the attached island owners, there were actually two to three hundred Yuanying realm monks participating in the battle.

In addition, there are more monks in the alchemy stage who serve as logistical forces and go out with the army.

These monks will not participate in the battle from the beginning, but will serve as a backup and rescue force, assisting the Nascent Soul monks during the battle, and helping to clean up the battlefield after the war.

Yuan Ming was secretly stunned. If such a team were placed in Yunhuang Continent, it would be enough to sweep all the sects.

He asked himself that their Bi-Moon Alliance must be irresistible.

The giant boat crossed the sea and rode the wind and waves all the way. It traveled very fast and encountered no obstacles. However, it took three months to reach the vicinity of Heimo Island.

The Black Evil Sect had obviously received the news that Dongji Palace was coming to conquer, and had made preparations early, shrinking all the affiliated forces to Heimo Island.

When the giant boat crossing the sea reached the sea a hundred miles away from Heimo Island, the sea below suddenly surged, like water boiling in a pot, creating huge waves.

The monks on the ferry all sensed the fluctuations coming from the sea below, and they came to the sides of the boat one after another and looked down.

Deep in the turbulent sea, faint green light pillars lit up from the bottom of the sea, forming a huge magic circle covering an area of ​​thirty miles.

It started to move with a dull "rumbling" sound, and the light became brighter and brighter.

The green light pillars rushed into the sky like spears and halberds, carrying huge waves to form giant waterspouts that connected the sky and the earth, and crashed into the giant boat crossing the sea.

Many monks driving the ferry quickly steered the ferry left and right to avoid the violent waterspout attack.

After escaping three surprise attacks in succession, three violent tornadoes suddenly rushed into the sky from deep under the sea, blocking the ferry route from the front and the left and right at the same time.

Facing the unavoidable attack, the core of the magic circle operating inside the ferry suddenly lit up with golden light. The expanding halo lit up layer by layer from the inside of the ferry. Wherever it passed, runes lit up one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a huge array of runes wrapped around the entire sea-crossing ship started to move. Thousands of golden lights burst out and condensed into a golden light film that wrapped the entire hull.

"Rumble"

The green waterspout hit the golden light film and exploded violently.

The entire giant boat crossing the sea was shaken, and the hull shook violently, but the golden light film remained firm.

As long as this light film is not broken, the attacks from below will not harm the people on the ferry at all.

"Okay!" I don't know who shouted "ok", and the shout immediately echoed throughout the entire ferry.

Immediately afterwards, in everyone's surprised eyes, two Void Return stage elders suddenly flew out from the side of the ship. A golden and a red light lit up on their bodies respectively, and they faced the huge waves and plunged towards the bottom of the sea. Go down.

When it landed, the elder shrouded in golden light was like an indestructible steel knife. No matter how violent the waterspout was, he didn't do any dodge at all. He just crashed into it, causing waves to splash and the green light to be cut off.

The elder shrouded in red light was burning with blazing flames the moment he flew down. The moment he collided with the water waves, white water vapor evaporated all over the sky, and his figure disappeared into it.

Not long after, thunderous noises rang out from the bottom of the sea, and everyone saw two rays of gold and red interlacing on the bottom of the sea, constantly shuttled through the bottom of the sea, and bursts of dazzling light erupted under the water.

Soon, the waterspout that kept rushing into the sky quickly disappeared.

When all the green light on the seabed was extinguished, the two elders successfully returned to the sea crossing boat and continued to sail towards Heimo Island with the boat.

But not long after, thousands of monsters of all kinds emerged from the bottom of the sea, all of them seemed to have been poisoned. They all flew out of the sea with blood-red eyes and launched towards the ferry boat in Dongji Palace above. Suicide attack.

These guys had no sense at all, and knew no fear or fatigue. They all rushed towards the ferry desperately, and chose to self-destruct the demon pills and demon souls the moment they got close.

Because there were so many of them, and the gap between the self-destruction of many demonic beasts was extremely small, the power of the explosions superimposed on each other, and actually tore through the defensive formation of the giant ship crossing the sea.

Huangfu Jue gave an order, and the ferry defense formation was completely opened, and many monks also ushered in the first battle of the expedition.

There is no doubt that the monks who can come to conquer are not incompetent. They can deal with those irrational monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly kill them all.

However, after one group of monsters were killed, another group rushed up, one after another. Although they could not effectively kill the Dongji Palace monks, they greatly depleted their mana.

Yuan Ming was aware of this early on, so he deliberately controlled the mana consumption and did not attack too obviously.

Fairy Yunluo smiled knowingly and followed him. The two of them faced each other, facing the attacks of the monsters, as if they were defending each other and cooperating with each other.

After killing three rounds of monsters in succession, the giant boat crossing the sea finally arrived at Heimo Island.

It was a huge island that had been artificially expanded and transformed, with a radius of thousands of miles. There were two criss-crossing cross-shaped mountains on the island, and stone fortress-shaped buildings could be seen everywhere on it.

All over the island, black stone pillars can be seen rising into the sky. They are shining with black light and emitting billowing black smoke. They condense over and around the island, forming a huge black smoke-filled magic circle.

Yuan Ming stood on the deck of the ferry and looked far away. He stared at the black mist hovering over the island for a moment. Suddenly, he felt his eyes swollen. He could vaguely see that in the black mist, there were actually pieces of paper condensed. A huge, ferocious face.

When he was about to look away, he suddenly heard screams coming from beside him. When he turned around, he found that many monks were covering their eyes, falling to the ground and struggling in pain.

Many of the monks whose cultivation was lower than Nascent Soul's level were bleeding from their eyes, and they frantically attacked their companions on the boat.

"This is the black devil's evil formation. Don't stare at the black clouds of the formation, or your mind will be disturbed." At this time, Huangfu Jue's voice suddenly sounded, exploding in everyone's ears like rolling thunder.

In just a moment, this majestic voice with powerful soul pressure shocked all the monks on the ferry who were affected by the black devil's evil heart formation.

The Nascent Soul monks who covered their eyes and screamed miserably, although they still showed pain on their faces, had stabilized. As for the frantic Pill Formation monks, many of them had bleeding from their eyes to bleeding from their seven orifices, and they had all fainted. .

"Elder Nantian, Elder Huozhuo, and Elder Sanqi, the three of you urge the Haotian Tower to break the formation together." Huangfu Jue gave the order.

Elder Nantian was tall, with a short beard and white hair, and was dressed in golden armor. Elder Huozhuo was thick and short, with a leopard head and eyes, and he was angry. They were the two who had previously teamed up to break through the underwater formation.

They and Mo Sanqi responded at the same time, flew out of the sea-crossing boat, and arrived above Heimo Island.

Mo Sanqi raised his hand and waved, and a ray of golden light flew out, turning into a nine-story pagoda about a foot high. The body of the pagoda was red, the eaves were golden, and the whole body was surrounded by aura. It was a rare sight at first glance. of Lingbao.

The three elders were arranged in three directions outside the pagoda, and at the same time they used their magic power to attack the Haotian pagoda.

The Haotian Pagoda buzzed and trembled, and the tower grew rapidly. In a few breaths, it turned into a giant tower ten feet high, hanging high in the sky.

There is a huge golden ball embedded on the top of the tower, which actually begins to absorb the light of the sun in the sky and becomes extremely dazzling.

For a time, the temperature of this sea area rose rapidly, and the surrounding area became white.

Many monks only felt that their eyes were a little sore from the light, and subconsciously turned away to look at the pagoda.
