Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1358 The war resumes
Haoyuan Sea Area.

The Ghost King Sect's headquarters.

In the gloomy and dim world, a vast and enormous demonic island sits on the sea.

The roars, like those from the abyss, rose and fell, making this place even more terrifying.

On a demonic island deep within the forbidden area of ​​the Ghost King Sect.

A magnificent, dark, imposing palace floats between heaven and earth.

Endless, hideous ghostly faces occasionally appeared around the main hall, making it resemble a cave of ten thousand ghosts.

In the main hall.

Thrones of evil spirits are displayed there.

The figures, radiating immense power, sat quietly inside the hall.

at the same time.

A few unusual gazes occasionally drifted toward a young figure in black robes standing in front of the main hall.

Inside the entire main hall.

Only that one figure exuded an aura that seemed out of place among the others.

"I never expected that a mere junior could be ranked above us!"

A disdainful sneer broke the silence in the hall.

But then, a gaunt middle-aged man dressed in a black robe printed with the blood-red Yuanlun Dao continued to sneer with a mocking expression: "It's nothing but a fox borrowing the tiger's might!"

In an instant, the rest of the people in the hall all showed mocking expressions.

All the gazes, each with its own hidden meaning, fell upon the calm-looking young man in black robes.

They were also eager to see how this newly risen Xuan Shi Demon Lord would react to such provocation.

In fact, among the people in the hall, the Blood Wheel Demon Lord was not the only one dissatisfied with him, but for various reasons, no one was willing to take the initiative to express their opinion.

With only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level, being able to stand ahead of everyone else is undoubtedly a provocation to their authority.

In terms of strength, all of them were at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm; in terms of status, they each controlled a powerful demonic sect that dominated a region.

Given all this, how could they possibly be willing to submit to a junior with only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation?

The reason why no one except the Blood Wheel Demon Lord was willing to speak was simply because they were concerned about the reputation of the Ghost King Sect, since all of this was arranged by the Ghost King Sect.

But then, to everyone's surprise, things took an unexpected turn.

Even in the face of such blatant mockery and provocation, the young cultivator in black robes remained unmoved, sitting calmly in his original spot.

The next moment, as if they were adding fuel to the fire, everyone turned to look at the Blood Wheel Demon Lord.

Faced with the strange looks from the crowd, the Blood Wheel Demon Lord revealed a fierce expression.

The junior's lack of reaction was a form of ignoring him.

This, in turn, caused him to lose face.

"A mere small merchant guild, plus the position of leader of a weak, scattered cultivator alliance, has allowed you, a junior, to be so arrogant."

Faced with the Blood Wheel Demon Lord's continued ravings, the young figure in black robes at the forefront finally reacted.

He slowly turned around, his face calm as he looked at the Blood Wheel Demon Lord, and then said indifferently, "Since the Blood Wheel Alliance Leader is truly as devoted to cultivation as the rumors say!"

Seeing this, the other sect leaders of the Demon Sect in the main hall had different expressions.

It seems that this Demon Lord Xuan Shi is about to take the initiative to show weakness.

But before anyone could think any further,

Another indifferent statement followed: "It seems that the Blood Wheel Sect Master's mind has become somewhat clouded by his constant asceticism!"

All of a sudden.

The expressions of all the mid-stage Nascent Soul peak demon lords changed slightly.

No one expected that this newly risen Xuan Shi Demon Lord would respond so fiercely, showing no regard for the Blood Wheel Demon Lord's reputation.

It should be noted that although this Xuan Shi Demon Lord now wields considerable power in this world, he has only recently entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The cultivation world is all about strength, let alone the demonic cultivation group where the competition is even more brutal and bloody.

For a mere newly promoted mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Lord to dare to provoke a veteran mid-stage Nascent Soul peak expert like this is tantamount to courting death.

"Could it be that this person is truly so confident that the Holy Sect will protect him?"

This attitude, on the contrary, made the group of peak Nascent Soul stage demon lords around them start to have all sorts of thoughts.

If it weren't for the confidence given by the Holy Ancestor, he wouldn't dare to do this.

Once both sides are mortal enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle, the seemingly powerful Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is actually useless. Even within the Scattered Demon Alliance under its control, most are scattered demon lords with early Nascent Soul cultivation, with very few at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, making it equally difficult for them to pose a threat to this Blood Wheel Demon Lord.

"How dare a junior like you speak like that!"

Suddenly, the Blood Wheel Demon Lord stood up, his face contorted with rage, and his eyes revealed undisguised killing intent.

He never expected that the other party would dare to openly oppose him in front of so many like-minded people.

"hehe!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly: "I am merely stating the facts, why should Sect Master Blood Wheel be angry!"

"If the sect leader were not mentally unstable, how could he not see that this was an arrangement by the Holy Sect?"

In reality, the reason why this Blood Wheel Demon Lord openly provoked him was merely to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

After he went to the Eastern Star Mysterious Sea.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce had a significant conflict with the Demonic Sect behind this person.

Because he intended to seize several valuable plots of land under the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce based on his strength, Hei Shan Yun Qi did not show weakness and openly mobilized the power of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce to take them back.

Although the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is not strong internally, it has a huge network of resources and connections, and secretly hired many powerful demonic cultivators to hunt down the disciples of the Blood Wheel Sect.

During the fierce battle, the Ghost King Sect, fearing that Li Xuan might harbor rebellious intentions, took the initiative to intervene and subdue the Blood Wheel Sect.

It can be said that the two sides had long been enemies.

"They've come at just the right time!"

A cold glint appeared deep within Li Xuan's jet-black pupils.

He had intended to use this great battle to further expand the influence of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce and completely integrate the entire chamber of commerce with this demonic world.

As for the Blood Wheel Sect and other demonic sects that have conflicts with the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, they are his next target.

It turns out that although the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce also had a huge influence, in the eyes of outsiders, it was ultimately just an ordinary Nascent Soul power, after all, it only had one Nascent Soul mid-stage Demon Lord.

With this great battle, as he continues to demonstrate his strength, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce will surely be able to break through the suppression of those powerful demonic sects and expand further.

Inside the main hall, just as the Blood Wheel Demon Lord was about to continue his threats...

A vast and boundless ghostly mist had emerged from behind the palace.

at the same time.

Two figures with immense auras appeared simultaneously in the main hall.

It was none other than the Grand Elder of the Heaven and Earth Divisions of the Ghost King Sect.

"Greetings, two Grand Elders!"

All the demon lords in the main hall bowed in respect.

"These two have a stronger aura than before!"

Li Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

Back when the Ghost King Sect clashed with the Ji family, the Second Elder of the Heavenly Division personally summoned a late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit to assist them.

Although the two had not broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, they were able to merge with the two late-stage fourth-order ghost spirits through the special methods within the Ghost King Sect, allowing them to unleash the power of a late Nascent Soul cultivator at crucial moments.

"sit down!"

The towering Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department waved his hand, and the two of them sat on the two thrones at the very front of the hall. "The reason I have summoned you all here today is because of a very important matter!"

Despite the earlier argument in the main hall, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department acted as if he hadn't seen it and went straight to the point.

"You must already know about the Ji family's affairs!"

"Now that the Ji family patriarch has perished and the entire Ji family has vanished without a trace, this is the perfect opportunity for us to make our move!"

As he spoke, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department revealed an air of dominance.

"The vast Haoyuan Sea is no longer sufficient to accommodate our numerous Demon Sect disciples. The time has come for the Demon Realm to expand!"

The people inside the hall immediately showed expressions of excitement.

As the number of cultivators practicing the demonic path continues to increase, the competition within the demonic realm of the Vast Ocean Sea is becoming increasingly brutal. The only way to continue developing is to continue expanding.

Although war is cruel, it also contains endless benefits and opportunities.

For most demonic cultivators, cultivators from the outside world are the best resource.

"The young master has given the order!"

"Go all out and swallow up the Haoming Sea and Shuangyang Sea as soon as possible. This vast area in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea is the target of the Holy Sect."

at the same time.

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department immediately spoke up: "The cultivation world of Haoming Sea has long been prepared, colluding with the cultivation world of Shuangyang Sea to secretly set up a defensive line!"

"But this is precisely our golden opportunity!"

"Once we decisively defeat them, the cultivation worlds of both sea regions will be transformed into new, vast demonic realms."

After a few simple words.

The Second Elder of the Heavenly Palace then directly announced the action plans of the various demonic sects within the palace.

"You will be divided into six teams for this operation, each responsible for a battlefield. The central battlefield will be personally controlled by the Holy Sect."

In an instant, a strange light appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

Inside the main hall, besides him, there were exactly twelve peak Nascent Soul stage demon lords.

This means that each battlefield will be personally overseen by two powerful demonic sects.

However, he seems to have been excluded from the main battlefield.

"The Demon Sect and the Three Blood Sect are responsible for the Battle of Zhan Yue Island; the Blood Wheel Sect and the Blood Demon Sect are responsible for..."

Just as Li Xuan had thought.

The twelve major demon sects inside the main hall were quickly assigned.

In an instant, all eyes in the hall fell on Li Xuan.

Everyone was also very curious about how the Ghost King Sect would arrange for this Xuan Shi Demon Lord, whose reputation did not match his strength.

Before Li Xuan could even speak, the Grand Elder of the Earth Department looked at him with a gentle expression and said, "Alliance Leader Xuan Shi, why don't you lead the Scattered Demon Alliance to the central battlefield?"

"I will then make appropriate arrangements for the actions of the Scattered Demon Alliance!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the sect leaders of the demonic sects in the main hall changed slightly.

Everyone already knew that this Xuan Shi Demon Lord was highly valued by the Holy Sect, but no one expected that the Holy Sect would take such good care of him.

While the central battlefield may seem to be the most intense and brutal place, it is also the safest.

With the two Grand Elders personally overseeing the operation, and the Holy Sect providing additional support, the situation on the central battlefield is the most stable unless the Ghost King Sect suffers a major defeat.

The so-called reasonable arrangement probably means participating in some low-risk activities.

"The leader of the Xuan Shi Alliance has led the Scattered Demon Alliance to continuous growth over the years, and his contributions are truly remarkable. This great battle is a perfect opportunity for the Scattered Demon Alliance to strike again."

Li Xuan smiled inwardly.

Beneath those seemingly polite words lay the attitude of the Ghost King Sect, represented by the Earth Elder.

That was an affirmation of the growth and expansion of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern Star Xuan Hai.

In order to gain the complete trust of the Ghost King Sect, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce paid a considerable price. All the spiritual items traded were first sent to the Ghost King Sect, and then to the Haoyuan Sea.

Without a doubt, his plan was successful.

The Ghost King Sect began to value him more and more.

"Thank you for your affirmation, Elder!"

Li Xuan rose and bowed, saying, "But I have a request that I cannot make!"

"Alliance Leader Xuan Shi, please speak freely!"

A hint of curiosity appeared in the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Earth Department.

Just as Li Xuan had suspected.

The reason they made this choice was naturally because the young master valued the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's development in the Eastern Star Xuan Sea.

After the entire Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce secretly entered the Eastern Star Xuan Sea, it never caused any trouble and has already taken deep root.

This undoubtedly proves the choice of the three of them.

This Xuan Shi Demon Lord is meticulous and skilled in planning; his business acumen is truly rare.

Compared to the cultivation level and strength of someone who is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, that is what they value more.

After all, the development of Dongxing Xuanhai is related to the future plans of the Ghost King Sect.

The reason for openly expressing such a protective order was to convey the Ghost King Sect's attitude, to warn the group of Nascent Soul stage peak demon lords in the hall, and to make them wary.

"I wish to lead the Scattered Demon Alliance, just like the sect leaders, deep into the front lines of the battlefield and take charge of a specific battlefield!"

After bowing, Li Xuan declared, "Only in this way can we live up to the Holy Emperor's high regard and cultivation!"

This major operation was key to his subsequent plans.

He must demonstrate greater value and attitude in order to integrate into the Ghost King Sect and thus devise a plan for the opportunity in that endless ghost realm.

Furthermore,

He also did not need the protection of the Ghost King Sect, which was a constraint for him.

Only by separating from these two men could he act more freely and avoid the risk of his trump cards being exposed.

At this moment, in response to Li Xuan's statement...

The Second Elder of the Heavenly Realm frowned slightly.

It should be noted that the brutality of this battle was no less than that of the clash between the Ghost King Sect and the Ji family, and was even more dangerous.

The reason why the Qingtian Sect and Shuangyang Palace dared to build a new defensive line is most likely because they have received support from the Central Sea Region.

For a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to enter that battlefield would undoubtedly be fraught with danger.

Although both of them knew that this Xuan Shi Demon Lord must also have extraordinary abilities, he had only recently entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Does Alliance Leader Xuan Shi truly intend to make such a choice?"

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department offered Li Xuan a way out: "You should know that the Central Battlefield also needs the efforts of Alliance Leader Xuan Shi and the Scattered Demon Alliance!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Elders!"

Li Xuan feigned resolve and said, "This great battle concerns the future of the entire Demon Realm, as well as every demonic cultivator. The Scattered Demon Alliance must also go all out."

Seeing his attitude.

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department didn't dare to say anything more.

"I am deeply gratified by Alliance Leader Xuan Shi's attitude. In that case, I will entrust the Sangyue Island battlefield in this operation to Alliance Leader Xuan Shi."

In a short while, black jade slips fell towards the crowd.

"This is the operational plan for those of you in charge of the battlefield. Prepare yourselves. Ten days from now, depart secretly and await orders."
