Chapter 392 Linlang Pavilion
Biyou Palace, ninth floor.

The colorful glow flows in the pavilion like water, turning the water vitality of Jin'ao Island into a more refined and pure vitality of heaven and earth.

Cao Cuo just spoke directly and asked about the unnamed island that was specifically mentioned in the previous decree.

The three of them looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and Hongxiu replied: "We found the island that the leader told us about three years ago, but the situation is special. If the leader wants to take over it now, we are afraid that It’s a bit difficult…”

Cao Cuo frowned slightly and said directly: "There is no need to beat around the bush. Tell the situation truthfully. I will make my own decision."

Hongxiu looked solemn and replied: "That island is now called Xieji Island, located to the north of Jin'ao Island. The two are separated by [-] miles. There is a neutral force named Xieji Sect."

"This sect is a new force that has emerged in the Mirage Sea in the past 300 years. Its leader is known as the 'Evil King' and is the pinnacle of the Hedao realm. There are also two elders of the same realm in the sect, named Nightmare Tiger. With the Dark Dragon.”

Cao Cuo's eyes were deep and deep, and he muttered: "Three Taoist forces in the Hedao realm..."

There was some hesitation in his heart. Judging from the memory of the old man Xuehe, there was nothing special about the nameless island. How could the Xieji Sect be allowed to occupy this place as the foundation of a sect?
Could it be that the secret of the Poison Dragon Kingdom has been exposed, and the nameless stone tablet he is looking for has already fallen into the hands of others?

"Not only that." Hongxiu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "This evil king has been practicing for less than 800 years. He is a famous genius in the mirage sea. 100 years ago, he even worshiped the Three Immortals Island Gui Crying The disciple of the true saint has become his most favored personal disciple."

"Therefore, in this sea of ​​​​mirages, even the powerful ones in the Yingjie realm must sell their face and dare not easily provoke this evil sect."

"The Ghost Crying Saint of Sanxian Island." Cao Cuo's expression finally changed after hearing this.

If there are only three Hedao, that's it. Although it is a bit tricky, it is not completely impossible to deal with. But if it involves the Mahayana True Saint, it is far beyond its ability. I'm afraid there is little hope of taking over Xieji Island...

The Three Immortals Island is the most powerful force in the Mirage Sea. Only with its existence can this place become a paradise for casual cultivators and not be occupied by Penglai Palace.

It is located in the central sea area of ​​the Mirage Sea, suspended above an endless eye of the sea. It gathers the vitality of heaven, earth, water and water with a radius of nearly a million miles, nourishing the cave heaven and the blessed land.

The Three Immortals Island is called One Island, but it is actually the aggregation of three islands. It is called Three Immortals, but it is actually the Three Saints. It was founded by three casual cultivators in the realm of Mahayana True Saints.

They are: Ghost Cry True Sage, Bingpo Taoist, and White Turtle Great Sage.

Taojun Tieqiu cupped his palace hand and said seriously: "Leader, there are many disciples in this Holy Sect of Ghost Crying, but most of them are indifferent and ignore them, leaving them to fend for themselves. However, for a few direct disciples, He has always protected his shortcomings."

"There was once a direct disciple of the Guiwei sect who asked Ying Jie's powerful enemy to lure him into the mist of the mirage, hoping to use the right location to attack and kill him without anyone noticing."

"Unexpectedly, the True Sage Gui Crying on the Three Immortals Island noticed him and struck him with a move from the air called Gui Crying Eighteen Beats. He was seriously injured and escaped from the sea of ​​mirages. He did not dare to return to this place again."

After a pause, he stared at the leader and said seriously: "If we provoke the evil sect here, even if we are lucky enough to defeat the three Hedao masters, we will not be able to deal with the Ghost Crying True Saint behind them. The leader wants to Taking control of Xieji Island is probably as difficult as ascending to heaven..."

Han Chong also raised his hand in time to persuade: "Xieji Island is very involved, and there is the Guiwei True Sage as its backer. It is definitely not something we can provoke now. I hope the leader will think twice before acting."

Cao Cuo frowned, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to remind me, I will never act rashly."

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the three of them and asked calmly: "In the past few years, you must have collected a lot of information about Xieji Island. Do you know why the evil king built the Taoist system in one place?" On an island where the vitality of heaven and earth is barren?”

Hongxiu replied: "I have sent someone to find out about this from the disciples of the Evil Ji Sect. It is said that the island is far away from Sanxian Island and there are no large forces around it, so it is most suitable for the Evil King to start from scratch."

"As for the great powers in the Hedao realm, they all have great supernatural powers that can change the heaven and the earth. Although the evil energy of the world is thin, the area is large enough and the earth veins are stable. It is suitable for setting up large-scale formations. Therefore, the evil king took the opportunity to set up his foundation on it. superior."

Cao Cuo's expression remained unchanged.

This reason is reasonable, but it does not rule out that the evil king saw the magic on the island. The specific situation can only be confirmed by going to the island in person.

"How is the defense of the Evil Ji Sect? And do they accept foreign monks to come to the island?"

Hongxiu thought for a moment and then replied: "In Xieji Island, in addition to the main altar located in the center of the island, which is heavily guarded and does not allow others to approach, there are also four sea markets in the southeast, northwest, and southeast for the casual cultivators who come and go. Island Trade.”

"What's special is that the Evil Sect has close ties with a group of bloody bandits. Therefore, its four sea markets are mostly used as a place for these people to sell their stolen goods, and their management is very chaotic."

Cao Cuo's expression remained unchanged, and he asked slowly: "Since it is a sea market set up by his own family, the Xieji Sect does not restrict and manage it, and just allows it to be chaotic?"

Hongxiu smiled slightly and said: "Xieji Island would like to take action, but these bloody bandits are all unruly people, and they cannot be restrained. One of them intervenes and suppresses them with force. This is the trend of the sea market." It’s really for the sake of clearing it up.”

"However, these big blood bandits can't be offended, and they can afford to hide. They vote with their feet and go to other powers to trade, making the original Xieji Island sea market become a luxury."

"The biggest source of income for the Xieji Sect is these four sea cities. Without them, there will be big problems in the supply of resources in the sect, which will affect the practice of the disciples, so we can only let it go."

"Now, these four sea cities are being handed over to the four sea pirates to manage alone. The Evil Ji Sect only collects high taxes from them and no longer participates in the daily operations of the sea cities..." Cao Cuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. He chuckled and said: "If this is the case, it might be a good idea for me to go to the island and explore it myself..."

The three people on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that the leader is very obsessed with this island. He only hopes that everything will go smoothly and that he can get what he wants in the Four Seas City. It is better not to provoke the evil sect.

……

Three days later, there was a sea of ​​mirages and Xieji Island.

Cao Cuo and the three tyrants used the method of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun to disguise themselves, and then landed on the four sea markets on the island.

This sea city covers a large area, and a guard island has been relocated to each port location. After some expansion, the area is comparable to that of a city in the secular world. Hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators gather in it all year round.

Cao mistakenly entered the sea city to the east and transformed into a blue-haired monk in the realm of god transformation.

This kind of true king figure is not very conspicuous among the monks. Most of them are powerful figures with more advanced cultivation who come here to trade.

"There are many formations here. My soul power can penetrate them, but I'm afraid it will alarm people with more advanced cultivation."

Cao Cuo frowned. He had already traveled all over the East Evil Sea City, and activated the magic power of the Styx to simulate the unnamed scriptures and sense the changes in the void accordingly. However, he was blocked by the formation of the sea city and could not find out the details.

Sudden.

"This Taoist friend has a treasure on his body, and you want to take action?" An elegant middle-aged monk came slightly closer and whispered, "If you are interested, why not follow me into the secret shop to talk."

Cao Cuo smiled slightly when he heard this, and without looking at the other party, he just sent a message and replied: "Yes!"

He is a talented person and bold, so he naturally doesn't worry about plotting against others.With his current methods, most of the people in Dongxiehai City who try to trick him will not end well.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. Pindao is definitely not a bad person. He just wants to facilitate a business. Please come with me."

The elegant monk was obviously experienced in soliciting customers. He kept his eyes straight and led the way. After a while, he walked into a hidden alley.

The entrance to this alley was surrounded by high walls on three sides. The elegant monk waved his hand, and the deepest wall changed mechanically, opening a gate.

There is also a plaque named: Linlang Treasure Pavilion.

The plaque is quite simple and elegant, obviously it is a time-honored brand.

Cao Cuo stepped into it with him, and suddenly felt enlightened. With a flash of consciousness, he knew that Linlang Pavilion was a blessed place, with a front and back yard, and was wrapped by an exquisite formation barrier, independent of Dongxie. In the big barrier of Haishi, it is like a small world.

"Returning to the Void Barrier is a world of its own. It is the pavement of fellow Taoists. It has such a deep foundation!"

The elegant monk smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My Linlang Pavilion was established here when Haishi was first established. Taoist Lord Linlang was established here, so it certainly has a profound foundation."

"My surname is Du Mingqi. How dare you call me my friend?"

Cao Cuo smiled slightly and replied calmly: "My Taoist name: Tongtian."

"Tongtian?" Du Qi couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and chuckled: "The name Taoist Fellow is quite majestic and loud, but it's better to change it to a more low-key one."

"In this Dongxiehai City, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are countless strange people. Some vicious people, when they hear such a majestic name, may cause trouble for their fellow Taoists."

Cao Cuo said calmly and smiled lightly.

"Since I have this title, I naturally have great magical powers that can suppress the word 'Tongtian', and I am not afraid of some evil spirits coming to my door."

After a pause, he looked at the other party and said softly: "Friend Daoist Du, he spreads messages in the market to attract customers. This kind of business skills is very rare. I wonder if he is also among the weird people?"

Du Qi laughed and said: "The strangeness and weirdness in the business world are the magic way to win by surprise, and others can hardly find the essence. It is precisely because of this ability that Du used this ability to find a new way and fight his way through the business world of Dongxiehai City. , doing high-end and upscale business.”

When he said this, the divine light surged in his eyes, like two five-color divine beads, and he smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist Tongtian is extraordinary, obviously not an ordinary person, and there is a precious light on his body, which cannot be hidden from Du's pair." Linlang Baorui..."
