Donglong Island.
Accompanied by the rapid advancement of the Qijia fleet.
The clouds of war have completely enveloped this island!
The war is coming!
However, even so.
Donglongdaofang City is still brightly lit and busy with traffic!
Even, due to the strategic contraction of the Luo family.
After many Luo family monks who were originally stationed on the outer islands returned to Donglong Island, the flow of people in Fang City became even denser!
Whether it is a Luo family monk or a casual cultivator.
They all felt the tense atmosphere, and they tried their best to purchase foreign objects and strengthen their means of protecting the road.
The prices of various types of elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments have skyrocketed.
Therefore, Donglongdaofang City is more prosperous and the market is unprecedentedly hot!
only……
No matter in the city, the Luo family law enforcement team is becoming more and more cold and solemn.
Still on the outskirts of Fang City, among the casual cultivators, murders, treasure grabbing, and bloodshed are becoming more and more frequent!
A lot of blood casts a scarlet shadow on this layer of abnormal prosperity!
…
Luoyue Mountain.
The ancestral home of the Luo family.
In the hall, the atmosphere was depressing.
Nine Luo family monks who were in the late stage of Qi refining gathered here.
Luo Qing'e is also among them.
With the help of the level-breaking elixir, she has reached the seventh level of Qi refining and has become a high-ranking member of the Luo family!
Moreover, as the daughter of the previous head of the family, she has a very high status and can almost be regarded as the 'acting head of the family'.
at this time.
Luo Qing'e presided over the meeting, her eyes were calm and she said solemnly.
"Everyone, there is news from the front line that Qingzhu Island has fallen!"
"What……"
"Qingzhu Island..."
The expressions of the senior executives of the Luo family present changed and they grasped the wooden handrails tightly.
Even though I was mentally prepared, it still had a huge impact after it happened!
After all, the fall of Qingzhu Island means.
——The Qi family fleet is about to arrive at Donglong Island!
"Currently, the Qi family fleet is rapidly approaching Donglong Island!"
"Even though the speed of the Soul Gold is relatively slow among second-order spirit ships, they will be able to reach Donglong Island in ten days at the latest..."
"At that time, what we will face... is a battle of life and death for the family!"
Luo Qing'e's face was as dark as water and she said solemnly.
"Since there are two foundation-building monks in the Qi family fleet, we can only resist by relying on the island protection formation."
"So, we must destroy or at least severely damage the Soul Gold..."
As a second-level spiritual ship, the Soul Gold can be regarded as a 'second-level formation that can move', which is enough to offset the advantages of the island-protecting formation.
Without the island protection formation, the Luo family only has Luo Xiying to build the foundation, and they will definitely lose!
"Guys, I have a plan!"
"According to the information sent back by our spies, the Soul Gold lacks the ability to deal with small targets approaching quickly!"
"There are many second-level middle-grade fire talismans in the family, and combined with the fire ship tactics, there is a high probability that the Soul Gold will be severely damaged..."
"Of course, this requires everyone's concerted efforts to make it possible..."
Luo Qing'e stated seriously.
There are also certain conditions for the use of talismans.
It is not a Qi Refining cultivator. With a stack of second-level talismans, you can kill Foundation Establishment cultivators at will just like playing cards.
If this is the case, how come Talisman Dao ranks last among the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation - Alchemy Formation and Talisman?
In fact, using talismans requires a certain level of cultivation and spiritual awareness of the monks.
Second-level mid-level talismans, especially offensive fire-type talismans, require at least the late stage of Qi refining in order to be activated and manipulated more stably.
Otherwise, maybe the talisman spell will fly directly to the sun like a rocket...
so……
Luo Qing'e and the monks here all understood that this plan required them to take risks!
Luo Qing'e's eyes were focused, and she looked at the late Luo family monks with sincere prayers in her eyes.
"Everyone, I request..."
At this time, a discordant voice interrupted her.
In the hall, an old woman with gray hair and chicken skin said hoarsely.
"Hey... I have no objection to our old bones dedicating themselves to the family."
"but……"
"I have a question?"
"Where is Su Ye? Why doesn't he join the battle? He is also in the late stage of Qi refining!"
"Besides, in the battle at the shipyard, he killed four major Qi-refining late-stages. With such strength, if he participates in the plan, he can at least increase his chances of winning!"
"Husband, he has other important matters..." Luo Qing'e said calmly without changing her expression.
"Hey……"
The old woman smiled, her cloudy eyes moved jerkily, and she said faintly.
"The most important thing...is it that Su Ye has taken Youjiao to prepare a retreat for the direct lineage?"
This sharp question was like a cold poisonous snake that suddenly climbed up the back of the hand while sleeping, making Luo Qing'e's pupils shrink!
At this time, several late-stage monks in the hall looked at her!
Especially the branch monks, their eyes were full of complicated thoughts.
Luo Qing'e's heart tightened and she immediately retorted.
"how you said that!"
"Su Ye is performing a secret mission. Forgive me not to reveal too much, but..."
Luo Qing'e took out a delicate silver token and held it in her hand.
"I have already reported it to my ancestor!"
"It's the ancestor's token..." The old woman murmured, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"Huh..." Luo Qing'e breathed a sigh of relief and regained her composure.
"If there's no problem."
"Next, I'll arrange some defensive tasks..."
…
Half an hour later.
Later monks from the Luo family left one after another to implement the defensive arrangements.
Within the hall.
It quickly quieted down, and Luo Qing'e was the only one left.
"Well……"
There was a hint of exhaustion in her bright eyes, her body relaxed, and she sat back on the main seat.
'Temporary head of the family'.
This is not just power, it also means heavy responsibility!
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
There is no responsibility without power, and there is no power without responsibility!
Only by shouldering responsibilities can we stably hold power.
"I know all these principles..."
"But, I'm really tired..."
In this alone time, she finally shed her confident and calm shell, showing a bit of weakness.
The war is coming. As the acting head of the family, Luo Qing'e must be responsible for the survival of the Luo family...
Three hundred years of inheritance of the Luo family, the ancestors overcame all obstacles, gained Donglong Island, and the lives of thousands of blood relatives...
This responsibility is too heavy!
In particular, the extremely slim chance of winning made Luo Qing'e feel increasingly heavy.
Recently, she often wakes up from nightmares, dreaming that Donglong Island is in ruins...
Luo Qing'e's slender shoulders were overwhelmed.
After all, she is only in her twenties...
"Well……"
Luo Qing'e retracted her legs and stepped on the chair with a pair of white silk jade feet.
She hugged her knees with her hands and curled up like a little hedgehog.
His body trembled, and glistening tears flashed in the corners of his eyes. He sobbed a few times, but tried not to cry.
"Husband, where are you..."
Luo Qing'e lied.
There is no secret mission.
She didn't know what Su Ye was doing when he went to sea this time...
"He only said that this trip to sea is very important. If it goes well, it can completely turn the tide of the war..."
Rationally speaking, Luo Qing'e didn't believe it.
After all, with such a disparity in strength, it is impossible for Su Ye, a Qi Refining monk, to reverse the situation of the battle...
What's more, at this juncture, sailing the Youjiao out to sea is suspected of escaping from the battle.
"but……"
"Just let me be sentimental for once..."
