The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 163 Awakening
"Bang bang bang bang!"

The blood mist that was stirred up and the shredding caused by the shock waves formed by the high-speed travel of the warship made some Wuji Xinggong monks on the patrolling warship feel a little strange.

"What are they doing? They don't think that their attacks, which are not even at the foundation-building stage, can shake the sky-patrolling warships of our Wuji Xing Palace, right?"

"Who knows? The people from Jiuding Sect were originally a group of marginal characters who were not qualified to enter the core circle of Qi Sect. Maybe they have little knowledge and do not understand the power of the Sky Patrol Battleship?"

"In the past ten years, our sect has been suppressing the remnants of the Northern Alliance in the Sunshine Continent. We have patrolled the Star Continent less frequently. It seems that patrols should be regularized in the future, so as to open the eyes of these jumping clowns."

A small discussion arose among a few people.

but……

That's it.

Many people on the battleship didn't even know that four sword cultivators from the Jiuding Sect had crashed tragically into the defense formation of the Sky Patrol Battleship.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

At best, he could have cursed like the adjutant who had received the news.

"unlucky."

The battleship continued to move forward at full speed.

……

The mountain gate of Jiuding Sect in Jiuxiao City.

Inside, there is a palace with special significance that is guarded by formations and has many lights on.

Among these lights, the most eye-catching are the dozens above, but the hundreds below are also maintained on a daily basis.

These are the soul lamps of all the true disciples, elders, and hall masters in the Jiuxiao Domain branch. What burns on the soul lamps is the fire of life.

Based on the flickering of the life fire, professional lamp bearers can even indirectly judge the current status of the true disciples and elders, and determine whether they are in danger, and their life or death situation.

But at this moment...

There are almost no warning signs.

The four life fires were extinguished at the same time.

The life flames were flickering steadily in the previous second, but they dimmed and went out in an instant in the next second.

The sudden change startled the lamplighter, and his eyes first fell on the four lamps.

"Yun Qing, Zhan Yunfei, Tu Hong, Zhang Lie!"

The four names flashed quickly through his mind.

This is the elite team that has made numerous achievements in the battles between Posuo Island in the East China Sea and Xuanming Sect in the past few months.

Every member of the team is a sword cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the elite among the elite, and they are expected to build a foundation in the future.

In addition to the contributions they have made, the sect has now given them the treatment of true disciples and they can light a soul lamp here.

But now, the four soul lamps went out at the same time! ?

"The four of them are still charging at the front line of the East China Sea. They seem to be on patrol?"

During the patrol, the soul lamps of four people went out at the same time. The person who took action was definitely a great monk!

Moreover, the soul lamps of the four people were extinguished in an instant.

That kind of annihilation force that was almost as powerful as crushing withered trees and rotten wood, that kind of power that instantly killed four ninth-level peak Qi-refining sword cultivators without any resistance...

Even among great sword cultivators, he is an extremely powerful existence!
"Something happened!"

The lamplighter immediately reported the news to his immediate superior, who then passed the news to the Battle Hall.

The Master of the Battle Hall, Zhao He, immediately contacted the great Yuanshen monk who was in charge of Posuo Island, but the result was...

I can’t get in touch with you!?
Seems like the signal is bad?

In the past, Zhao He would have contacted repeatedly, delaying at least two or three minutes, but now...

He contacted the sect leader Zhao Siliang without hesitation.

"Master, please use your authority to contact the Heavenly Palace to investigate the situation in the East China Sea. The specific coordinates..."

Zhao He took a look at the patrol route of the Yunqing team that had just been sent up by his subordinates, guessed where they disappeared, and quickly reported the coordinates.

"What happened?"

Zhao Siliang noticed Zhao He's serious expression and asked.

"Four quasi-true disciples died at the same time, and they died instantly. According to the current intelligence, it must have been a great cultivator who took action, and a very powerful great cultivator. Moreover, this great cultivator who obviously harbored hostility was less than two thousand miles away from entering our Jiuxiao Territory!"

Zhao He said quickly.

"Four quasi-true disciples!?"

Zhao Siliang was shocked.

"Yes, and the captain of the Yunqing team is the eldest son of Master Yunlai. Master Yunlai is now... the chief weapon refiner of Zixiao Academy besides Master Yaoguang, and is responsible for the daily dispatch of the entire Zixiao Academy."

"The chief weapon refiner of Zixiao Academy..."

After hearing this, Zhao Siliang did not dare to hesitate and quickly used his authority as the sect leader to contact the Tiangong Palace of the main sect.

This department...

Tiangong Palace is directly under the jurisdiction of the main sect, and other branches...

Although the configuration is similar to that of the main sect, there is no heavenly palace.

Soon, there was a response from the Tiangong Palace.

"Coordinate input completed, Tiangong-22.8 is docking, Tiangong divine consciousness amplification array activated, detection angle corrected, divine consciousness fluctuations will arrive in seconds..."

The person in charge of Tiangong Palace responded.

Zhao Siliang also issued an order that "a reconnaissance divine thought will arrive soon" to prevent some Yuanshen cultivators in Jiuxiao Realm from overreacting.

Or it might trigger the alarm of some observational formations.

23 seconds later, Zhao Siliang, who was also a top-notch cultivator, clearly felt a wave sweeping past.

This wave of fluctuations was extremely powerful and majestic. With the help of the amplification of the Heavenly Palace Formation, it not only explored from above the nine heavens, but its exploration range was as high as tens of thousands of miles.

This is because Zhao Siliang gave the specific coordinates.

Otherwise, with the cost of the Heavenly Palace formation and its amplification strength, the Heavenly Palace Yuanshen cultivator sitting on it could easily explore hundreds of thousands of miles or even millions of miles in one breath.

Of course, the larger the range, the lower the accuracy, which is inevitable.

"Detection completed, Sect Master Zhao. An unknown black area of ​​information has appeared outside the Nine Skies, covering an area of ​​61.1 miles. The Celestial Palace Yuanshen cultivators cannot detect it. According to the Tiangong Palace Information Department, there is a 22.3% chance that it is a patrolling warship with 'Full Band Silence' activated, a 11.9% chance that it is a top-notch Yuanshen cultivator who is proficient in divine thought rejection, and an % chance that it is a natural phenomenon..." The Tiangong Palace quickly gave a response plan: "It is recommended to activate the second-level alert and send the garrisoned cultivators to investigate."

"61% chance... of a patrol ship!?"

Zhao Siliang's pupils shrank drastically: "Where did the patrol warship come from? The Great Sun Sword Sect!?"

"According to the intelligence obtained by the Heavenly Palace not long ago, a patrol warship of the Wuji Star Palace left the airspace of the Liusha Sect, the Black Feather Sect, and the Taiyi Sect on the Sunshine Continent half a month ago. Because it activated the 'silent' technology, we cannot track it... But according to the technical level comparison, the information black domains formed by the two are very similar, so there is a 73.8% chance that this is the patrol warship that the Wuji Star Palace originally deployed in the area of ​​the Liusha Sect."

The staff of the Tiangong Palace said, adding: "This is also the reason why we gave a 61.1% probability of judging that it belongs to a patrol warship."

Information is always a whole, not an individual.

Even if the monks in the Heavenly Palace here cannot give a complete investigation into what kind of enemy has invaded, they can still infer the truth based on information from other sources.

"The Wuji Xing Palace's patrol warship!"

How could the Wuji Xing Palace's patrol warship appear here?
Do not!
This is not hard to imagine!
In today's world, the only ones who have mastered the relatively advanced fourth-generation technology are Wuji Xinggong, Xianmeng, and Wanshou Sect. However, with the disintegration of the Northern Alliance, the Wanshou Sect has recently become quiet.

The remaining Immortal Alliance...

In the Tianxing Continent, it almost monopolizes the mid-to-high-end market for elixirs.

The mid-to-high-end market for refining equipment...

It has always been monopolized by Wuji Xinggong.

The appearance of the improved Jiuxiao 12 flying sword has had a significant impact on the equipment refining market, especially the order from Elder Panqi of the Golden Temple that was worth tens of millions of spirit stones. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
In this case, Wuji Xinggong can either release a more cost-effective flying sword to compete, or...

Suppress and destroy competitors at the root!
And judging by the Wuji Xing Palace's domineering approach, they obviously chose the latter.

After instantly understanding the pros and cons of the matter, Zhao Siliang broke out in a cold sweat.

Sky patrol warship!

A patrolling warship with murderous intent, heading straight for their Zixiao Academy in the Jiuxiao Domain! ?

"Zhao He! Activate the first-level combat alert. All the formations in Jiuxiao City, Longxiong City... and surrounding cities are activated at full power!"

Zhao Siliang gave the order quickly.

"Highest power on!?"

Zhao He's heart was shocked.

When a formation is activated, it starts burning spirit stones very quickly.

Especially for a large-scale city defense formation, the number of spirit stones consumed in one day of activation may be tens of thousands.

Zhao Siliang said in a deep voice: "A patrol warship from Wuji Xing Palace is heading towards us! The target is Zixiaoyuan!"

"Sky Patrol Battleship!?"

Zhao He's pupils shrank drastically.

It turned out to be the Wuji Xing Palace's sky patrol warship! ?
"Fortunately, Yun Qing and the others reminded us in time. Otherwise, if that patrol warship really appeared in the sky above our Jiuxiao Region... and Jiuxiao Region was not prepared at all... the consequences would be disastrous... Their blood was not shed in vain!"

Zhao Siliang looked at Zhao He and said, "Call all the star body cultivators, foundation building sword cultivators, magic cultivators, and soul cultivators. The war is coming."

"all!?"

"all!"

"Yes!"

Zhao He nodded heavily and did as he was told.

The entire battle hall began to operate rapidly as he issued orders one after another.

"Zixiao Academy! The market for top-grade spiritual weapons... the future weapon refining master..."

Zhao Siliang took a deep breath, quickly activated the communication interface of the workbench, and sent a message: "Help me connect to the Sect Master!"

He himself is the leader of the Jiuxiao Domain branch.

And he could be honored as the master...

Soon, the communication was connected.

A figure dressed in blue, looking to be in his thirties, and full of vigor and vitality appeared.

"I am Li Qingshan."

"metropolitan."

Zhao Siliang bowed slightly, and before he could even open his mouth, he got straight to the point: "I need the help of the main sect."

"Junior Brother Zhao? What happened?"

Li Qingshan asked quickly.

He didn't care at all about Zhao Siliang interrupting him.

In Jiuding Sect, there is only a difference in rank between positions; everyone is equal in personality, and this is not just empty talk.

Zhao Siliang made a long story short and quickly explained, through spiritual communication, the danger that the Jiuxiao Realm was facing at the moment.

"The Sky Patrol Battleship sailed directly to the territory of our Jiuding Sect and killed four of our Jiuding Sect's true disciples! Their blood will not be shed in vain!"

The leader of the Jiuding Sect expressed his attitude without hesitation: "The master of the sect ordered all the great cultivators in the six regions surrounding the East China Sea to rush to Jiuxiao! Urgently order Zhou Yuan, the leader of the Battle Hall, to lead the 'Sword Academy' to rush to Jiuxiao Region at full speed!"

"Sword Holding Academy!?"

Zhao Siliang was shocked when he heard this group representing the strongest military organization of the Jiuding Sect: "Sect Master, are you going to..."

"I have heard about the achievements of Zixiao Academy more than once. If I were not too busy, I would like to meet the Zixiao abbot. He is the top talent that our Jiuding Sect needs the most. If we cannot even keep such a talent, how can our Jiuding Sect rise in the future, let alone revival?"

Li Qingshan's voice was powerful: "Besides, the Quicksand Sect has been devoured by the Wuji Star Palace and its allies. They are searching for their next target. We, the Brahma Divine Kingdom, the Holy Fire Sect, and the Witch Sect are all within their prey range... If we don't want to be targeted by the Wuji Star Palace, we must fight!"

After hearing this, Zhao Siliang took a deep breath.

The Wuji Star Palace's patrol warship came here for such a profound meaning.

"We, the Jiuding Sect, must demonstrate the strongest attitude to meet this challenge!"

"But what if..."

"Nothing unexpected!"

Li Qingshan clenched his five fingers and punched hard: "Only by fighting and winning can the Jiuding Sect continue to survive and develop!"

Zhao Siliang was awed and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Sect Master! Jiuxiao Territory will never let you down!"
