Ning Chen practiced at the fastest speed underground. At this speed, it would probably take three months to fully absorb it.
But at this time, the outside world was already turbulent.
Inside the Hai Clan Palace.
Two sea tribesmen were respectfully facing Bailong, the king of the sea tribe, in the deep sea spiritual pool, talking about the human race sending Qingxuan Sect to come for support.
"Lord Bailong, Qingxuanmen has intervened in this matter." A man with a bare upper body and skin covered with black fish scales knelt on one knee and said to Bailong respectfully.
"Oh? Qingxuanmen belongs to the Lingbei region. Although it borders the Tiannan region, why would they interfere in this matter?" Bailong asked doubtfully.
At this time, another man in green robes said: "Master Bailong, after I found out that Qingxuan Sect was involved in this matter, I went to investigate the matter."
"Oh? What did you find out in your investigation?" Bailong asked in a deep voice.
The man in red robe said respectfully: "From the information I investigated, the group of humans all believed that Ning Chen's clan was a half-step god. The Qingxuan Sect once sinned against Ning Chen's sect, so it reached a cooperation with the Tiannan Alliance. .”
"Is that so?" Bailong thought for a moment.
"Lord Bailong, this news is extremely credible." The man in red robe respectfully replied.
Remember https://m in one second.
Bailong remained silent. As the king of the sea clan in the southwest sea, it was his caution that brought him to his current position.
He remained doubtful as to whether Ning Chen was half-stepped into becoming a god. Moreover, even if Ning Chen was not half-stepped into becoming a god, what if there was still a back-up plan in the Nanhua Sutra left by Master Nanhua?
No, Bailong decided not to go out yet because he was not completely sure.
"You continue to send the Sea Clan army to harass and make the Tiannan area unrestful. If Ning Chen, the human race, doesn't come to me for a long time, it proves that he is not a half-step god."
Bai Long sneered and said: "Huh, when the time comes, I will attack directly with you and destroy the Tiannan Alliance. By then, tens of millions of human beings will be our meat on the chopping board and will be slaughtered by us. I will break through Transformation into a god is a sure thing."
"Yes, Lord Bailong."
"Yes, Lord Bailong."
The two sea tribesmen bowed respectfully to Bai Long and then quickly retreated.
"Ning Chen? You'd better become a god in half a step, otherwise, you will bring about your own destruction by killing people from our sea clan." Bai Long looked into the void and said with a sneer.
………
Tiannan Alliance, Chunyang Wuji Palace, in the meeting hall.
Li Shen, Li Fuchang, as well as Yuanying of the Qingxuan Sect and other senior leaders of the alliance are discussing the matter of the Hai Clan.
At this moment, a shout came from outside the hall.
"It's not good! It's not good!" A disciple hurriedly broke into the hall.
"Why are you so panicked?" Li Fuchang scolded.
"Elders, my lords, the Hai Clan army is gathering in the South China Sea and seems to be ready to attack." The disciple finished quickly.
"What!"
"The Sea Tribe has actually begun to gather!"
"The alliance leader hasn't left seclusion yet, what should we do!"
The top leaders of the alliance began to worry. They were not afraid of the Sea Clan army, but mainly because they were afraid that the Sea Clan King Bailong would also attack with the Sea Clan army.
"Everyone, don't panic." The Lord of Luoyue City shouted loudly.
"Now that the alliance leader is in seclusion, we must not damage the morale of our own people, and Bailong may not be among them in this attack. The Hai clan is suspicious by nature, and they will never expose themselves without knowing the true situation of our alliance leader. "The Lord of Luoyue City touched his beard and analyzed rationally.
"Okay, since Bai Long won't take action, we have nothing to be afraid of." The group of people nodded and suddenly no longer felt afraid.
"I propose that the alliance manpower be immediately organized and put on first-level alert. All personnel outside the area should be recalled and await orders!" Li Fuchang said to the others.
"Okay, this really needs to be done right away."
The ancestors of the surrounding sects and major families left one after another.
"Hey, I hope the headmaster can break through soon." Li Fuchang sighed and said.
Three days later.
In the southwest sea, the human monks and the sea army are facing off.
Li Fuchang and others were sitting in the newly built fortress, their faces solemn.
"The Hai Clan army is still gathering, and now it has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. What do you think?" Li Shen, the ancestor of the Li family, said seriously.
"Hmph, no matter how many there are, they are just a bunch of soldiers and generals. We Tiannan Alliance monks beat them like chopping melons and vegetables." Maple Leaf City Mayor Zhang De said.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang is wrong. Although most of the Hai Clan army is low in strength, there are also some who are powerful. They should not be underestimated." Yun Ye, the Lord of Tianchi City, said.
"Fellow Daoist Yun is right. For the current plan, the best way is for us to guard the borders of all sea areas and wait for the alliance leader to leave." Zhang Zhenyuan, the sword-wielding elder of Qingxuan Sect, said.
Everyone nodded.
As the Sea Clan army continued to increase, the human race and the Sea Clan army began to have some friction from time to time. The human race was stalling for time, and the Hai Clan was also stalling for time.
…
A month later, the Haizu army in the sea area.
"Sir, we have assembled an army of three million, including 300 from the Golden Core Sea Tribe and six from the Nascent Soul Water Tribe. Sir, do you want to wait any longer?" A Jindan Realm Sea Tribe said respectfully to the man in red robes.
This man in red robe is a subsidiary race of the True Dragon Clan, the Arowana Clan.
"Well, where is the human race?" the man in red robe asked.
"The human race has also gathered hundreds of thousands of monks, and they are now at the border." The Jindan Sea Clan replied respectfully.
"There's no need to wait. Although there are many of us from the Sea Clan, there are also a lot of Human Races. If we keep waiting, the Human Races from other regions will soon come to support us."
"Pass my order, Jin Dan will attack the sea tribe below!" The man in red robe gave the order, pinched his hands, and shot a seal into the sky.
Immediately, the sea people who saw this seal rushed directly towards the land.
"The Sea Tribe is attacking, hurry up, everyone is on alert!"
One after another communication seals were sent out from the hands of the monks.
Suddenly, all the human monks began to move.
If you see any sea tribe coming ashore, kill them immediately!
The two sides fought directly for a day and night. There were corpses of the Sea Clan everywhere, including the Human Clan, but not as many as the Sea Clan. The sea water in this area was dyed blood red.
"No, there are too many sea people, we can't kill them all!" a monk shouted.
All the monks couldn't help but feel powerless looking at the endless sea people.
"Pass the order from the Tiannan Alliance, all monks retreat a hundred miles!" An order was issued from the rear.
This was exactly the decision that Li Fuchang and others made after careful consideration. They decided to delay until Ning Chen came out of seclusion.
Moreover, the Sea Clan can exert greater strength in the water, retreat hundreds of miles, and lengthen the battle line, which is also more beneficial to the human monks.
All the human monks no longer hesitated, gave up the sideline, and flew to the rear.
