Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 149 The Crisis of the Endless Sea

At the critical moment, Lan Tian intervened and saved the Fire Phoenix.

"Fire Phoenix, what exactly is going on? Who is chasing you?" Lan Tian asked with concern.

"Master, when I was scouting Morossis, I was discovered by this person. He's a member of a mercenary group that the demons brought back from the Blue Card Continent. He's very skilled at flying and reconnaissance. He discovered me and chased me all the way, without giving me a chance to fight back. I was in a very sorry state." The Fire Phoenix felt very aggrieved. Being outmatched, she could only try her best to escape.

"Alright! Everything's alright now! Tell me what you discovered."

"Yes, Master, thank you for saving my life!"

"Alright, alright, take this healing pill first," Lan Tian said.

It turned out that Fire Phoenix had gone all the way to Sky City. He didn't find anything unusual near Sky City; the demons hadn't sent anyone to guard the entrances and exits. Upon entering the main city, he encountered Qin Lei, the head steward of the Lan family, and told him about Lan Tian and the others' return. Sky City hadn't been damaged by the demons; thanks to the protective power left behind by Lan Tian, ​​the demons hadn't been able to conquer it.

The Sky City is now home to many people of various races, and its defenses are strong, so the demons will not be able to take it down for the time being.

However, when the Fire Phoenix went to scout Morossis, it encountered strong resistance. Powerful demons were stationed on the outer perimeter, completely surrounding the area, making the situation extremely dangerous. No one knew what had happened to the people there! The specific situation was also unknown.

The good news Lan Tian heard from Phoenix was that Sky City was alright, and Uncle Lei and the others were still holding on. This was the best news Lan Tian learned upon returning to the Endless Sea. The bad news was that the danger Morosis faced from the demons had not yet been eliminated, and it might be the worst-case scenario. It was necessary to provide immediate support, as there was a possibility of the city being destroyed. Lan Tian needed to return to Sky City as soon as possible to discuss with Qin Lei and the others what to do next.
"Little cutie, take us back to Sky City."

"Yes, Master."

In the blink of an eye, Lan Tian and the Fire Phoenix returned to the Lan Mansion courtyard in Sky City. They landed steadily in the courtyard.

In no time, the news of Young Master Lan's return spread throughout the entire Lan Manor, and everyone in the courtyard gathered here, looking at Lan Tian and the Fire Phoenix with expectant eyes.

"Young Master, you're finally back!" Not long after, Qin Lei returned to the Lan residence and was the first to greet Lan Tian.

"Uncle Lei, thank you for your hard work. I'm back. From now on, let's fight side by side and protect the interests and reputation of the Lan family." Lan Tian said to Qin Lei.

Such a commotion alarmed everyone in Sky City. The young master of the Lan family has returned! This is extremely important news. Lan Tian used to be their hope, their leader, and the main leader of the last joint campaign against the demons. Now he has returned to lead everyone to defeat the demons, maintain order in the Endless Sea, preserve peace and harmony, and create a peaceful world for the future.

Qin Lei couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Lan Tian. His young master had completely surpassed him, entering the Venerable Realm—the highest realm in the Endless Sea! This was a realm that even the high-level experts here dreamed of, a realm they could never reach even after countless years of cultivation. Qin Lei thought of his own master, Lan Zun, who hadn't even reached the true Venerable Realm, merely hovering at the peak of the ninth rank, seeking an opportunity to ascend. Since Lan Zun's return, he had been cultivating relentlessly, never emerging from seclusion, and Qin Lei had no idea how far he had progressed. Now, his young master Lan Tian had made leaps and bounds, entering the Venerable Realm after just one trip to the Blue Card Continent. Qin Lei could no longer fathom his true cultivation level; Lan Tian was far superior.

"Uncle Lei, to deal with the demons, we need to unite all the races of the Endless Sea to fight them together and defeat them once again, so as to reclaim the peaceful Endless Sea we once lived in harmony. I need you to unite everyone and bring all those with wisdom to Sky City to form a coalition to attack the Demon Capital."

Lan Tian said to Qin Lei, noticing that he seemed a little lost in thought. Little did he know that Qin Lei was contemplating something, and Lan Tian's question had disrupted his train of thought.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Qin Lei said.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Lei! I need to go and talk to Abbot Yushan now. Come find me at the temple after you've made all the arrangements!"

Lan Tian told Qin Lei that he wanted to meet Abbot Yushan to learn more about the past and future of the Endless Sea. His insights were unique, and he was a respected elder whom Lan Tian held in high regard.

Qin Lei was indeed the best assistant. Under his coordination, the leaders of various races and sectors in Sky City came to the Lan family mansion to discuss how to deal with the demons, gather the latest information on the Endless Sea, formulate the best battle plan, and recommend the major battle leaders.

Meanwhile, Qin Lei was extremely busy! Coordination with all parties was proceeding smoothly, and the final coalition was gradually taking shape.

Why did Lan Tian go to see Abbot Yushan? It's because his prestige in the Endless Sea is quite high. With his support, all arrangements should be able to proceed smoothly, reach a consensus, and lead to a satisfactory conclusion!

In the temple, Lan Tian and Abbot Yu Shan discussed in detail the current crisis facing the Endless Sea, the greatest crisis in its history. This put Abbot Yu Shan in a difficult position, as all the information he had gathered about the Demon Race was detrimental to the Endless Sea! The Demon Race's strength had already exceeded the current capabilities of the Endless Sea, easily crushing all other races. Without the protective energy of their ancestors, the entire Endless Sea would have been conquered, becoming slaves of the Demon Race with no hope of ever rising again.

Indeed, Abbot Yushan's analysis was quite accurate. With the support of powerful figures from beyond the realm, the Demon Clan had completely overwhelmed all other races and factions. However, Abbot Yushan had not considered the strength of Lantian and Hailiang. He did not know that Hailiang and Lantian would determine the future of the Endless Sea. As long as they were there, the Demon Clan could not completely conquer everyone. It was only a matter of time before the Demon Clan was defeated again, and it would depend on the performance of Lantian and Hailiang.

Lan Tian learned about the past of the Endless Sea from Abbot Yushan, including the past of his master Qin Lei, his ancestor Lan Zun, and the past of the Demon Lord, and learned secrets about the Endless Sea that he did not know before.

Abbot Yushan was initially quite surprised by Lan Tian's return. After all, this time, he couldn't sense Lan Tian's cultivation level; the other was unfathomable, beyond his comprehension, and completely overwhelmed him. "Sigh! This kid went to the Blue Card Continent and has already advanced so much. Who knows what the future holds, but he'll definitely be a powerful figure in the Endless Sea, surpassing even Lan Zun and the Demon Zun."
