Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 148 Countermeasures
When acquaintances gather, they are especially warm and friendly. Lan Tian is the young master of the Lan family, and he used to be the head of the Lan family.

The Endless Sea is once again facing slaughter and devastation from the demon race. Blue Sky has returned to fundamentally resolve the demon problem, restoring peace to the Endless Sea and enabling its inhabitants to live harmonious, happy, and fulfilling lives, free from racial conflict, where everyone can live together under the same blue sky, studying and living in peace.

The news of Lan Tian's return to the underwater city spread quickly, and many human warriors who had sought refuge there gathered in front of the Lan family's shop, silently waiting and hoping for the appearance of their new leader.

Lan Tian had a long talk with Butler Xiao in the inner room, listening to everyone's opinions, noticing their anxiety, and observing their hopes for the future. He learned about the battle in which the human race was attacked and killed by the demon race.

At the time, no one knew that the former demons would lead a large force back to the Endless Sea, bringing back many high-level experts and supporters from other races. They swept through human settlements from the start, invincible and unstoppable. Wherever they went, they slaughtered every race without leaving a single survivor. The entire town was flattened by the demons and turned into ruins.

All five major cities on Endless Island were destroyed by the demons. Some powerful and influential families fled to the underwater city, Morossis, and the Sky City. The majority of the common people perished at the hands of the demons, leaving behind piles of bones. Driven by hatred for their homes, families, and races, they were irreconcilable enemies with the demons, determined to fight to the death.

The current situation is that everyone is relatively safe in the underwater city under the protection of the city lord, but we don't know what has happened in other places outside! It is unknown whether Morosis and Sky City have been captured by the demons. Everyone has been besieged here by the demons and cannot communicate with the outside world, so we don't know how to deal with it.

After listening to everyone's explanations, Lan Tian fully understood their current situation. He needed to discuss the number of high-level demons and whether they could withstand them. He needed to consult with City Lord Hai Yuan to devise a strategy. He also needed to gather information about Morosis and Sky City before finding a way to deal with the demons. Battle was inevitable; war was imminent. They had to eliminate this scourge of demons and restore peace to the Endless Sea.

Lan Tian paced back and forth alone in the room, deep in thought about a solution. There were many difficulties ahead, and he needed a brave and skilled team, a group of partners who were willing to die for their cause, comrades-in-arms to fight the enemy together, and brothers who had been through many battles.

Lan Tian thought of Qin Lei, the head steward of the Lan family, the Lan family brothers and sisters, and friends and comrades from all ethnic groups. He wondered if they were still alive, and if the Lan family army was still around.
Just as Lan Tian was deep in thought, his brow furrowed with worry, the shop assistant came to inform the city lord that he wished to see him. The carriages and horses had been waiting outside for some time, seemingly in great urgency.

Without a second thought, Lan Tian went straight out and followed the shop assistant to the door. At this moment, a large crowd had already gathered in front of the shop, all silently watching Lan Tian as he boarded the carriage and sped away, disappearing into the end of the street.

Before Lan Tian got into the carriage, seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, he said nothing, only nodded slightly to everyone, and then drove off, following the carriage into the palace. This was a royal carriage, and the journey was smooth. Before long, Lan Tian arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace. Many people were standing in front of the main hall, including Hai Yuan's family and many unfamiliar faces, all waiting for Lan Tian's arrival.

Lan Tian slowly stepped out of the carriage, and Hai Yuan was the first to step forward to greet him.

"Lan Tian, ​​welcome back. Thank you for taking care of my daughter," Hai Yuan said, stepping forward directly to Lan Tian.

"Lord of the City, you are too modest. This is my duty, it's what I should do," Lan Tian said gently. "Lan Tian greets everyone! Thank you very much!"

Haiyuan didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Lantian towards the main hall. The reason he was so eager to see Lantian today was because the current situation in the Endless Sea was terrible. Now that Lantian and the others were back, he hoped they could lead everyone to a decisive battle against the demons as soon as possible.

Haiyuan had already heard Hailiang's report and learned about their experiences on the Blue Card Continent. He had also personally tested Hailiang's strength and confirmed that she had indeed reached the Venerable Realm. This was something that had never happened in the Endless Sea for millions of years. All that was known was that the Demon Lord and the Blue Lord's cultivation was equivalent to the Venerable Realm, but it was unknown whether they had truly crossed this realm. They were the symbols of the Endless Sea. Now that Lantian and Hailiang had both reached the Venerable Realm, which was the highest realm in the Endless Sea, unmatched by anyone, they would surely be invincible in the final battle against the Demon Clan.

This was the happiest thing for Haiyuan; he finally saw the dawn of victory for the Endless Sea in its fight against the demons. Therefore, he couldn't wait to have Lantian invited into the palace to discuss the plan to defeat the demons.

With the protection of its ancestors, the underwater city has not been invaded by the demons, thus preserving its strength and protecting the many people of various races. The sea race's army is fully capable of taking up the banner of this expedition against the demons, leading everyone to fight on the battlefield, reclaim the peace and harmony of the endless sea, and drive away the demons.

Haiyuan and Lantian discussed for a long time and came up with a preliminary plan: this expedition must wipe out the demons completely, leaving no future trouble. They must not let them escape again, fundamentally resolve the demon problem, and not give them a chance to rise again.

Currently, the primary task is to contact Morossis and Sky City, gather strength to jointly attack the demons, and once again unite to conquer the Demon Capital and fight the demons to the death.

Lan Tian left Hai Liang to guard the underwater city while he went alone to contact Morossis and Sky City. Now he completely trusts that Hai Liang can stand on her own.

After leaving the underwater city, Lan Tian asked Little Cutie to teleport him to Xiangyang City. He needed to find Fire Phoenix to understand the situation before deciding on his next move.

In an instant, Lan Tian appeared amidst the ruins of the Lan family mansion in Xiangyang City. This place had once been Lan Tian's stronghold and the main camp of the Lan family army. Thinking of this, Lan Tian suddenly recalled Flower Fairy Valley. The demons hadn't discovered it before, but he wondered if it had been damaged this time, and whether the Lan family army was still stationed there.

Before long, Lan Tian sensed the phoenix's aura, which seemed a little weak. Was it injured? Without hesitation, Lan Tian spread his wings and soared into the sky, flying at high speed towards the phoenix's location.

In the distant blue sky, it could be seen that someone was chasing the Fire Phoenix, which was rapidly retreating towards Xiangyang City. Clearly, the opponent was of a higher rank than the Fire Phoenix, suppressing it and relentlessly pursuing it. The Fire Phoenix was already seriously injured and was struggling to fly away from the opponent's attacks.

Lan Tian soared into the sky, arriving beside the Fire Phoenix and halting its pursuit, protecting it from further harm. He then unleashed a lightning strike upon the attacker. The power of this attack was astonishing; the power of a Venerable Realm cultivator was overwhelming, a devastating blow from Lan Tian. This was Lan Tian's furious strike, hitting its target squarely. With a deafening roar, the attacker was instantly reduced to ashes; everything was shattered by the lightning, and the attacker died instantly!
