Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 342: Provocation

Two months later.

The seven major sects of Song State, led by Xuantian Sect, each formed a team and formed an army of more than 10,000 monks to officially conquer the Wutong Mountains on the border between Yu and Xu countries.

The army was divided into seven groups, each led by one of the seven major sects. The Jindan cultivators were in the lead, the foundation-building cultivators were in the middle level, and the Taoist soldiers were in the late stage of Qi training.

The Jinyang Sect's team was led by Jindan Zhenren Wang Ruiyang himself, assisted by two Jindan Zhenren. The sect had more than 30 people who were in the foundation-building stage, and recruited more than 50 independent cultivators to build the foundation and 2,000 people in the late stage of Qi training.

Among the Song State's expeditionary forces, it is the largest and most powerful, even above the Xuanyang Sect.

At this time, the State of Yu was not willing to be outdone. It pulled in the State of Lu and also organized an army of tens of thousands of monks, which lined up in front of the Wutong Mountains.

From a strategic perspective, the four sects all have reasons to go to war.

Peace has been maintained for a long time, spiritual veins are in short supply, the number of monks is increasing, and various accumulated contradictions are about to explode.

Not to mention the independent cultivators, even the various factions within the large sects have many conflicts with each other.

Rather than internal strife, it is better to divert the trouble away.

The spiritual vein of the Wutong Mountains is like a beautiful bait, causing those ambitious people who are unwilling to be lonely to kill each other.

Wang Ruiyang must have considered everything when leading the team.

Plunder some resources and subdue the monks who perform well on the battlefield to increase the bargaining chips for taking over the Jinyang Sect in the future.

As if it had been discussed beforehand.

Four countries and dozens of sects marched towards the Wutong Mountains at the same time.

In a very short time, they each occupied some spiritual veins.

Then, they started fighting hand to hand.

……

The four countries' sects went to war, and the suppression of evil cultivators was relaxed a little.

There are some public security problems in every country.

In the Dongshan Sea, the pirates who had disappeared have revived.

All kinds of evil and crooked ways have emerged from the darkness and resumed their old ways.

For safety reasons, Chen Xuan asked the Jiang and Su families to return to Wolong Island.

More than ten bee-controlling people who had been adopted before, worked in groups of two and released the poisonous bees to monitor the situation around Wolong Island.

Chen Xuan was also on high alert.

Protection has been strengthened in Longxing Villa.

Without special reasons, strangers are not allowed to enter or leave.

Su Zhengming and Jiang Yingxing, along with members of the Su and Jiang families, guard Longxing Villa.

Li Ping'an and Zhang Haibin led the city guard and law enforcement team respectively, patrolling day and night.

Wang Fugui and Wang Wenxing stayed in Wolongfang City and never left.

The entire Dongshan sea area is like a powder keg, which will cause a violent explosion with just a fuse.

This day.

An alarm sounded from the island protection formation of Wolong Island.

"Master, there are two groups of monks fighting in the sea outside the island!"

Chen Xuan flew to the island protection formation on his sword.

"what's the situation?"

Chen Xuan sensed the souls of seven foundation-building cultivators.

Zhou Haibin stepped forward and said, "Master, it seems that pirates are robbing merchant ships."

"Is it a merchant ship coming to our Wolong Island?"

"No."

"That has nothing to do with us."

Gazing over, more than ten miles away from Wolong Island, a second-level high-quality pirate warship was fiercely attacking a second-level merchant ship.

Obviously, the second-level merchant ship was no match for the opponent. It had been fleeing all the way and had been hit by several psychic cannons. The hull was damaged and its speed slowed down.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be sunk by the pirate warship.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

The pirates were so bold that they dared to rob near Wolong Island. It was obvious that they did not take the Chen family seriously.

Seeing that it was no match for the enemy, the merchant ship turned around and headed towards Wolong Island.

One of the foundation-building cultivators who looked like a shopkeeper shouted at Chen Xuan.

"Is that Brother Chen Daoist, the master of Wolong Island? We are from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and have been attacked by pirates. We hope Brother Chen Daoist will come to our rescue. We will reward you handsomely."

"Haha! What Sihai Chamber of Commerce! We're all colleagues, why are you pretending to be innocent? All the cultivators of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce should be killed."

The leader of the pirate warship was a burly man, wearing a black robe and mask, with eyes as fierce and violent as a tiger.

"Don't listen to their nonsense! They are famous storm ship owners, and we are truly members of the Merchant Guild."

The foundation-building cultivator who looked like a shopkeeper shouted loudly with a nervous expression.

"Zhang Haibin, who is the owner of the Storm?"

"A group of pirates who used to be very famous for robbing cultivators. However, they always operated in the Jinshan Sea and rarely came to the Dongshan Sea."

"The Storm Captain has four brothers. The eldest brother reached the late Foundation Establishment stage many years ago."

Zhang Haibin didn't know that the leader of the Storm Ship Owners had already completed his foundation building.

"What about merchant ships?"

"Nine out of ten, they are also a group of pirates who rob cultivators."

"how do you know?"

Zhang Haibin smiled.

"I could tell at a glance that the shopkeeper was a pirate. I can smell the scent of pirates no matter how far away they are."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Zhang Haibin has lived on the sea for many years, so his intuition and judgment are still trustworthy.

"Go tell them to get lost."

"Yes, master."

Zhang Haibin flew to the edge of the island protection formation, stood in the air, his eyes cold and stern, and shouted sternly.

"No matter who you are, get away! If you come any closer, I'll kill you!"

Hear Zhang Haibin's strong warning.

The shopkeeper who was being hunted down, Jiji's face changed drastically.

"We are indeed from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, and we are planning to enter the island to do business. How can Wolong Island just stand by and watch the pirates hijack and rob our customers, forcing them to their doom?"

The shopkeeper Zhuji cursed angrily.

Chen Xuan sneered.

Zhang Haibin shouted angrily, "We all make a living on the sea, why are you pretending to be innocent? Sihai Chamber of Commerce, tell all the guys in the Chamber of Commerce to come out and show me!"

The shopkeeper was speechless.

From beginning to end, he was the only one shouting in the front.

The rest of the people hid in the merchant ship.

"Island Master Chen is a smart man. We will remember this favor." The storm ship leader in a black robe and mask laughed.

"I'll give you a hundred breaths to turn the boat around and get away from Wolong Island. Otherwise, you'll die!"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

The black-robed and masked cultivator was stunned for a moment, staring at Chen Xuan intently, emitting the aura of perfect foundation building.

It seems like they are going to fight if they disagree on something.

The merchant ship being hunted seized the opportunity, turned its head and escaped to the other side.

"Humph!"

The black-robed and masked robber cultivator waved his long sleeves, stepped on a pitch-black flying sword, and flew to the merchant ship as fast as lightning.

The shopkeeper was shocked and took out a magical scimitar to fight with the black-robed and masked robber cultivator.

However, after just a dozen breaths, he was cut into two pieces by a sword from the black-robed and masked robber cultivator.

Afterwards, the pitch-black flying sword danced in the merchant ship and killed six or seven monks on the ship.

Like him, they all wore masks to conceal their identities.

It turned out to be a pirate robbery.

See this scene.

It can be concluded that the two groups of monks are not from the same group.

Three more monks flew out from the pirate warship, all wearing masks and with foundation-building cultivation. They worked together to steer the merchant ship and turned away from Wolong Island.

"They should know what's best for them!"

Zhang Haibin said bitterly.

Judging from his personality, he will definitely steer the Wolong and do something big.

No matter how strong the pirate cultivators on the opposite side are, can they be stronger than the head of the family?

"Forget it. It's a turbulent time. Let's not cause any more trouble."

Chen Xuan was also a little disappointed.

Originally, I thought that these pirates would be angry and take the initiative to attack Wolong Island.

I didn't expect them to be so cautious, always staying ten miles away from Wolong Island, right at the edge of the attack range of the island protection formation.

It’s not that they can’t hit the ship, but even if they do, the power won’t be strong enough to sink their pirate warships.

Chen Xuan himself was not willing to take the risk.

The pirate cultivator who had completed his foundation building had some real skills.

As long as the interests of Wolong Island are not harmed, there is no need to fight them to the death.

But if they robbed a merchant ship from Wolong Island, don't blame him for being ruthless.

As for the merchant ships outside, according to the unspoken rules of the sea area, as long as they do not enter the port of Wolong Island, Wolong Island is not responsible for their safety.

The black-robed and masked robber looked towards Wolong Island with vigilance.

After Chen Xuan made the harsh remarks, he did not refute him, but waved his hand, and the warships and merchant ships sailed in the opposite direction and gradually went away.

……

After a stick of incense.

Seeing that the pirates who robbed the cultivators did not return, Chen Xuan felt a little bored and was about to leave.

In the sky, from the direction of Lu’s land, a sound of breaking air suddenly came.

A flying boat came flying from the white clouds.

As they flew closer, the logo of the Flame Sect on the bow became clearly visible.

Chen Xuan frowned again.

He recognized the tall and fat middle-aged monk on the flying boat.

It was Taoist Huoyun from the Lieyan Sect, whom he had met once.

There were three foundation-building monks on the flying boat. Judging from their robes, they were all disciples of the Fiery Flame Sect.

A few years ago, Chen Xuan and the Zheng family's ancestor and others went to explore the secret island, and they encountered three cultivators pretending to be from the Flame Sect.

Chen Xuan displayed his extraordinary power and, with the help of his strange insects, killed the three cultivators.

The Taoist Huoyun appeared at the right time, claiming that he came to hunt down the robber cultivators and take back the sect's flying boat, and claimed that he wanted to ask for credit for them.

As a result, so many years have passed and we have never met again.

The matter of asking for credit was also left unresolved.

Chen Xuan was very suspicious that those Tribulation Cultivators were colluding with this Taoist Huoyun.

Now, the State of Song has declared war and sent an army of monks to the Wutong Mountains.

As the top sect in Lu State, the Lieyan Sect is already in a hostile state with Wolong Island.

Now, they actually sent only four foundation-building monks on a flying boat to come to Wolong Island to demand an explanation?
Sure enough, the flying boat did not dare to get too close to Wolong Island.

Taoist Huoyun activated his magic power, stood on the flying boat, and shouted loudly.

"Fire Sect Huoyun, please ask Fellow Daoist Chen from Wolong Island to come out and answer."

"Fellow Daoist Huoyun, it's been ages since we last met. How come you have time to come to my deserted island today?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, a merchant ship belonging to our Lieyan Sect's partner has disappeared near your Wolong Island. Have you seen it?"

Both of them were top-notch foundation-building cultivators. Even though they were more than ten miles apart, they could still transmit sound by using their magic power.

"The merchant ship of your Flame Sect's partner is missing. What does it have to do with me?"

Chen Xuan replied with a sneer.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is a serious matter. Those pirates who hid the cultivators may have concealed their identities and escaped to Wolong Island."

"Please open the island protection formation and let us go in to search. Don't make mistakes!"

Chen Xuan was stunned.

He didn't even bother to find an excuse and was just going to cause trouble for him.

However, there are only four foundation-building cultivators in front of him.

One person has completed the foundation building, and three are in the late stage of foundation building, and they want to enter Wolong Island and seize it. That is underestimating Chen Xuan.

"roll!"

Chen Xuan was too lazy to say more.

According to the agreement between the sea clan and the human clan, no Jindan Zhenren are allowed to appear in the Dongshan Sea area.

The threat posed by cultivators who are only in the Foundation Establishment Stage to Wolong Island is infinitely close to zero.

Before this, Chen Xuan had already made an agreement with the sea crab monster Xie Guohai.

If a human Jindan Zhenren appears in the Dongshan Sea, Xie Guohai can take action and the reward is negotiable.

Even if Xie Guohai cannot defeat them, there are still the whale tribe and the powerful sea tribe.

Through Chen Xuan, the sea people gained a lot of benefits in ore smelting.

Originally, the appearance of Jindan Zhenren was not allowed in the Dongshan Sea area.

There was also a generous reward to be gained, so he readily agreed.

With the support of a powerful sea clan member, the highest combat power of human cultivators in the Dongshan Sea Area can only be the Foundation Establishment Stage.

What is Chen Xuan afraid of!
