"Your Majesty, the main island of Qiongsha is right ahead!"
The group of people flew over the sea and went deep into the hinterland of Qiongsha Sea, and life gradually began to flourish.
The islands we encountered were no longer inaccessible. Many of them had prosperous populations, numerous houses, and smoke from cooking stoves.
Ships of all sizes with sails can be seen everywhere, sailing on calm seas, sailing for long distances, transporting goods, or stationed in the sea, casting nets for fishing...
Further away, a huge island stands in the middle of the sea. The island is so vast that it is not an exaggeration to say it is a continent.
Even when Jiang Liyun looked far away, he could not see the entire outline of the island. Compared with Yunzhou, Fengzhou and other states, it was not small.
It has numerous cities and villages, is densely populated and prosperous.
The auras of various creatures and civilizations gather in the sky, forming luck and momentum that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
There are many ports on the edge of the island, with large and small ships docked in a row. Ships come in and out every moment.
As if they noticed the approach of Jiang Li and others, several cruise ships with sharp axe-blade prows immediately raised their sails and came quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Li quietly activated his shape-changing magical power, and his appearance and aura immediately changed drastically.
He easily formed the image of an old man over sixty years old, showing the aura of an ordinary ghost and immortal. He retreated to Yunwang City and behind the five masters, and watched quietly.
"Are the people here the Demon King of Wanhu Mountain and the heads of the five great aristocratic families?"
The cruise ship shuttled across the sea and soon came to the opposite side of the group of people.
On one of the leading ships, there stood a tall and muscular middle-aged man wearing armor with a giant blue whale pattern.
He stepped on the front of the deck, and despite the ship rushing through the wind and waves in the sea, it remained motionless and steady as a mountain. He shouted loudly: "I am Bi Tianhai, the general of the sea expedition fleet, one of the four great navy of the Tianjing Kingdom, under the command of the third prince. Order, come here to welcome all the powerful men. The third prince and the envoys from the two countries, Divine Shark and Scorpion Turtle, have been waiting for you at Linhai Cliff for a long time!"
The sound was loud and loud, like a bell or a drum, forming waves of sound waves that agitated on the sea surface, almost breaking the air.
Many seabirds flying nearby were stunned by the sound of the waves and fell into the sea water.
"I have heard about the reputation of General Zhenghai for a long time. Wanhushan and the five great families were invited to come. I also asked the general to lead the way!"
Yun Wangcheng handed over his hands in the distance and landed on the deck of the ship together with Jiang Li, the five family heads, and Yuntao.
"I have read some records in the library of the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion. The shipbuilding skills of the Qiongsha Kingdoms are top-notch. They are even stronger than those of Daluo and Shenfeng Maritime Kingdoms. I saw it with my own eyes today. It is true. The rumors are true!”
Jiang Li glanced at several patrol ships of the Sky Whale Kingdom and nodded secretly.
These ships are three feet wide and ten feet long. Their hulls are wrapped in iron sheets and coated with thick grease paint. They are not afraid of seawater corrosion, nor are they afraid of crossbows and rocket fire. They are extremely strong.
On the upper and lower levels, more than a hundred strong soldiers rowed giant oars in the lower cabin, using the wind to ride the waves on the sea, faster than horses.
Compared with the cruising clippers built by Dazhou, it is undoubtedly much more sophisticated.
This reminded Jiang Li of other contents recorded in the relevant books of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
It is said that among the naval forces of the Three Kingdoms of Qiongsha, there are also giant ships that are more than two hundred feet long. The keels are covered with thick fine iron. They can even kill a black-striped blue whale. They are real ocean beasts.
During this trip to Qiongsha, if we can recruit some craftsmen who are good at building giant ships, with An Mang's inherent strength, we can quickly build our own steel giant.
Moreover, within the main island of Qiongsha, there is a teleportation circle that leads to the far north.
Once it can be activated, Mangzhou and Qiongsha Sea will be truly connected, and his layout in the world of Jiuzhou can also go further.
In fact, there was no need to worry about Emperor Jing's fear and guard against him.
After picking up a few people, the cruiser did not return to the port, but headed diagonally to the southwest.
Thirty or forty miles later, Fang approached the shore of Qiongsha's main island and landed under a high cliff facing the sea.
The cliff is thousands of feet high, as if it was cut directly by a divine sword on the main island of Qiongsha. The cliff is smooth and smooth, and no pits have been eroded by the humid sea wind. It has a very unreal feeling.
"The Sky Whale Kingdom is trying to intimidate us, deliberately raising its profile and trying to dominate us. I'm afraid this meeting won't be pleasant!"
Zuo Qiujiu jumped off the ship, looked up at the rows of flags fluttering on the high cliff, and let out a loud groan.
"Linhai Cliff is also a wonder of Tianjing Kingdom. There are at least six or seven roads leading to the top of the cliff, but the third prince of Tianjing chose the most difficult one to let us walk. This is definitely not a friendly way to treat guests. !”
Master Murong also showed a meaningful sneer.
"You don't need to worry about it. Our laws in the Heavenly Whale Kingdom are strict and everything must be handled in accordance with the law. Although you are all the leaders of Yaoshan and aristocratic families, you have just arrived in Qiongsha and have not yet been recognized by the Qiongsha countries. Without legal status, you cannot enter the land of Sky Whales openly!"
Bi Haitian led hundreds of elite soldiers to the shore, slightly cupped his hands to everyone and said: "Linhai Cliff has a special location. Although it is located in the Tianjing Kingdom, it has always been the place where the Tianjing Royal Family meets with other countries and forces. Please come with me. !”
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly jumped up, like a roc flapping its wings. He opened his arms and jumped hundreds of meters high. Then he lightly stepped on the vertical rock wall with his feet, as if walking on flat ground. , he had already jumped to the top of the cliff in a few flashes.
"Hmph, if we weren't Martial Saints and Ghost Immortals, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to see the Third Prince if we came here today!"
Ling Yinshu sneered. He flicked his sleeves and held out a black token. His spiritual thoughts flew out and attached to it, carrying his body and flying towards the top of the cliff.
Yun Wangcheng, He Louguan and others also used their body skills and controlled magic weapons, following closely behind.
Jiang Li also took out a magic weapon from the Sumeru Ring, offered it to him, and flew to the top of the cliff near the sea.
On the top of the cliff, there is a very flat circular stone platform, surrounded by steps, leading directly to the huge pavilion on the stone platform.
What was different from what was imagined was that there were not many soldiers from the Sky Whale Kingdom on the top of the cliff. There were only about three hundred soldiers, standing in all directions holding flags.
Although the realm strength is not weak, it is at the level of Tai Chi, the fourth martial art realm, but for a big country like the Sky Whale Kingdom, it is a bit too perfunctory to only use soldiers of this strength to protect the third prince.
Among the generals and soldiers of the Tianjing Kingdom present, except for Bi Haitian, the general who conquered the sea, there were no other martial saints or ghost immortals.
If it weren't for the fact that the third prince was not favored by the Lord of the Sky Whale Kingdom, the only explanation would be that this prince's strength and realm no longer required the guards and protection of his subordinates.
"As expected of the top demon king of Kyushu from the previous generation, your Taoist realm in Yunwangcheng really impressed me!"
There are many figures in the huge pavilion with a round platform. Several of them are drinking and watching the sea around a stone table, pointing to the end of the sky and sea in the distance, seeming to be talking freely.
Seeing Yun Wangcheng and others ascending to the top of the cliff, one of the young men in brocade, who was admired by the stars, put down his wine glass and spoke condescendingly.
"It is indeed him, the third prince of the Sky Whale Kingdom!"
Jiang Li looked up and recognized the man who spoke at a glance. He was the man in brocade who killed two brothers and fled in panic half a day ago.
Next to the third prince, there was a stunning silver-haired woman who was also an acquaintance.
I don’t know what secret method she was saved by. Although her soul was shattered, it was suppressed by a force and her life was not in danger for the time being.
His face was a little pale and haggard, and his internal organs were severely damaged, but there was a lot of blood flowing in his meridians and blood vessels. It should be because he had swallowed some rare treasures.
In addition to these two people, there were two figures sitting at the stone table.
Jiang Li just glanced lightly, and his heart jumped for no reason.
The sense of crisis these two people gave him was definitely no less than that of the third prince and the silver-haired woman.
Moreover, the two of them were surrounded by mysterious and dangerous energy, and they seemed to be carrying some powerful magical weapons and magic weapons.
"Yun, together with the five heads of the aristocratic families, met the third prince and the envoys of the two countries, the divine shark and the scorpion turtle!"
Yun Wangcheng raised his head and glanced at the round platform, frowned slightly, and just held his hands indifferently.
At this moment, judging from the postures of the third prince Tianjing and the envoys from the other two countries, it seemed that they had no intention of inviting Yun Wangcheng and the heads of the five major families to the high platform.
"What benefits has King Anmang of the Great Zhou Dynasty given you to make you, a powerful person like you, willing to surrender and work for him!"
The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a sharp gaze that could see through everything in the world, and suddenly shouted.
"Why did the Third Prince say this? We, the Wanhu Mountain Monster Clan, have indeed taken refuge in King An Mang and have worked for him wholeheartedly. With his resourcefulness and potential, he is enough to protect our clan through troubled times!"
Yun Wangcheng's eyes flashed, and then Yun Danfeng said lightly: "It's a pity that in the battle at Beimang Royal Court, he was injured by the spies of the ghost clan, his body was ruined, his potential in this life was exhausted, and he no longer has the possibility to stand in the world and compete for opportunities in the world. .
"I led Wanhu Mountain to move to Qiongsha Sea Area just to avoid the forces related to King Anmang. After all, his father, Marquis Zhenwu, has a bad relationship with him. Wouldn't it be bad if he angered me, the Wanhu Mountain Monster Clan!"
"Hahaha, Yunwang City, Emperor Jing and Marquis Zhenwu are in the middle of the situation. Perhaps they were unexpectedly confused by Jiang Li's arrangement, but who am I? There are few things in this world that can be hidden from me. Deduction and perception!”
The third prince of Tianjing held his hands and laughed, shaking his head repeatedly and said: "You and I are both smart people. There is no need to bluff and test each other. It is not just you, but also the five major families who have come to Qiongsha Sea one after another. Is it really just for their own development?
"You people and the forces behind you have all interacted and contacted Jiang Li. Although I have no direct evidence, I can be completely sure that you all belong to Jiang Li.
"I'm just curious, what methods did he use to still make you so loyal and meticulous in doing things even though his body was ruined? Especially the five major families. I'm afraid they were all severely defeated by him, and many strong family members died. In his hands, if I hadn't been unfit to appear in the world, I would have wanted to go to Shengjing City to meet this Great Zhou Qilin!"
"The Third Prince has no evidence, why are you so sure?"
Yun Wangcheng and the five masters were unconvinced.
"I have my own reasons. If you all live as long as me, you will know that there is no so-called real secret in this world, and all clues can reveal the truth of the world!"
The third prince waved his hand and said: "Whether you admit it or not, it cannot change my judgment. I have only one purpose for calling you here this time, which is to recruit you to join me. No matter what Jiang Li promised you, No matter what, or what means I use to threaten you, I can give you twice as much, or help you deal with potential threats."
"recruit?"
When Yun Wangcheng and the five masters heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
"Yes, the great age is about to come, and the entire Kyushu will fall into turmoil. This is both a crisis and an opportunity. We, the three kingdoms of Qiongsha, have accumulated experience for hundreds of years. We may not have the qualifications to compete in Kyushu, separate one side, and compete for the luck cauldron."
The third prince nodded and said: "You happened to be in troubled times, and you came to Qiongsha Sea by chance. This is your opportunity and blessing in this life, and it is also your only chance to survive the world safely."
“Third Prince, it’s not that Yun doubts the strength of the Three Kingdoms of Qiongsha, it’s just that whether it’s me, Wanhushan, or the five great families, with their accumulated heritage, they may not be weaker than the Three Kingdoms of Qiongsha.
"Even if Qiong Shark has just arrived and has not yet established a firm foothold, once a conflict breaks out, at least both sides will suffer losses!"
Yun Wangcheng's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "As a foreign force, we are willing to coexist peacefully with the Qiongsha Three Kingdoms and be mutual allies. We can even cede 10% of the annual income as a sign of sincerity, but if we surrender to the Qiongsha Three Kingdoms, we will It’s absolutely impossible!”
"That's right. If we, the great families, want to surrender to vassals, why don't we go to Dazhou, Tuyuan, Dashi, Beimang, and Daluo?"
"Qiongsha Sea Area is not the land of Kyushu to begin with. It is just a small corner. No matter how much we accumulate, can it still be compared to the countries of Kyushu? Even the four major holy places of cultivation are far inferior!"
"Have you ever been to the Far North, Mangzhou, the Kuei people, or the ghost clan? Which one is not more powerful than the Qiongsha Sea area!"
The five family heads, He Louguan, Murong Shi, Ling Yinshu, Zuo Qiujiang, and Fei Qianshan, also sneered.
"Hahaha, you are a bunch of ants and short-sighted. If our heritage hadn't been fully developed in the world, do you think we are really thirsty for your talents?"
"Brother Sikou treats each other with courtesy. This is his upbringing. If the eastern part of Qiong Shark hadn't been under the jurisdiction of the Sky Whale Kingdom, with the methods of our Scorpion Turtle Kingdom, we would have thundered and suppressed you one by one. Why are you in such trouble!"
Next to the third prince of the Sky Whale Kingdom, figures from the Divine Shark and Scorpion Turtle countries suddenly spoke out.
The next moment, two earth-shaking terrifying coercions suddenly rushed up from the two of them, crushing heavily on Yun Wangcheng and the others.
"The power of immortality!"
"Four Tribulations Ghost Immortal!"
The expressions of the five family heads including He Louguan, Murong Master, and Ling Yinshu suddenly changed, and they were horrified. There was almost no room for resistance, and they were directly suppressed to the ground by the coercion falling from the sky, unable to move.
It was as if two mountains tens of thousands of meters were pressing down on him. His bones were creaking and his face was red, as if he would be crushed to pieces at any moment.
Yun Wangcheng's body also sank, his feet were directly pressed into the ground, his white robe was torn inch by inch, his shoulders burst, and a lot of blood mist burst out.
"You are indeed the remnants of the ancient times!" Yun Wangcheng gritted his teeth and held on for dear life.
"Now that you know our identities, why don't you surrender quickly!"
The Third Prince of Tianjing stood up, walked to the edge of the high platform and stood with his hands behind his back, "Qilin Jiang Li of the Great Zhou Dynasty may be talented and can be regarded as a talent of a lifetime, but it is a pity that he was born in troubled times and had bad luck.
"Which of us, the relics of the ancient times, is not a genius of the same era, a proud man of heaven, living in the same era as us? This is the tragedy of a proud man like Jiang Li, how can the light of a firefly... Comparable to the bright moon and rising sun!"
