Outer Star Sea, Nova Island.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is peace.
It was as if the war in the past few months had never happened.
Ever since the Chaotic Star Sea Monster Tribe retreated, Star Palace seemed to have won a great victory.
The frustration of retreating from the inland sea seemed to dissipate from this moment.
The monks on the entire Xinxing Island are filled with optimism, and the words spread from ear to ear are that they want to fight back to the Inner Star Sea next year.
But the top monks of the Star Palace knew that this optimism was too optimistic!
Not to mention that the originally planned Inner Star Sea Counter Star Alliance and Miaoyin City did not start fighting.
Furthermore, after the trade between the inner and outer star seas was cut off, the Great Depression in the inner star sea also did not appear.
On the contrary, after the Inner Star Sea disappeared from the Outer Star Sea, it seemed to be equally vibrant and prosperous. On the contrary, the Outer Star Sea seemed a bit weak but weak in the face of the offensive of the monster clan in the outer sea.
The so-called victory that was advertised to the outside world was just that the island was defended and the monsters were not allowed to attack. There was no strength to fight back at all.
This situation is like the confrontation between Liao and Song Dynasties. The alien sea monster clan can fail a hundred times, but Xing Gong cannot fail at all.
As long as the demon clan breaks through the defense line once, the entire outer star sea will become a sea of blood.
The situation is far more pessimistic than everyone imagined!
"Fortunately they backed down..."
An elder from the Star Palace, with a scarred face and a lingering heart.
This elder had just retreated from the front line, and his injuries had barely healed. There was still a strong murderous aura about him, but he himself said something rejoicing and flinching.
Instead of boasting like those at the rear, only those who have truly faced an army of monsters can truly understand the unspeakable despair.
That day, he really had a mental expectation of dying in battle.
"Have you found out the reason for some unknown reason?"
"The level of informants we placed within the monsters is too low, and there is no way to reach the inner circle of the transformed demon cultivators. We only know that all retreat instructions are directed by Lao Suanni."
"The Suanni clan?"
Many monks were a little silent.
Suan Ni from the Chaos Xinghai clan is also an old rival of Xing Gong.
Since the previous overlords of the Chaotic Star Sea, the demon clan, have been wiped out one after another, the Suanni clan has gradually become the clan that dominates the outer sea.
"This is also an old rival. Old Suan Ni is cautious. Is there something wrong?"
"The news coming from the inner team is that Lao Suanni held a meeting with a group of Yuanying demon cultivators. At the meeting, he convinced the demon cultivators to give up their decision to attack us, and instead went in a strange direction... "
"Oh, what weird direction?"
"Silver Shark Island!"
Elder Lu made a stroke with one hand.
There was an extra picture in the entire hall.
This picture is composed of halo lines, blue lines and waves, representing the boundless sea and waves, and irregular yellow spots representing islands.
The yellow circle representing Silver Shark Island is far away from the traditional outer star sea islands. It is a relatively desolate and uninhabited place. Even monks who hunt monsters rarely go there.
"here……"
Many Star Palace elders pondered.
Obviously, I have no impression of such a place.
Elder Lu, who was presiding over the meeting, glanced at Deputy Palace Master Bai, and after his nod, he said: "This place is the Silver Shark Islands. You must have rarely noticed it, but based on the previous news from me and others, I learned from dozens of From the last file last year, I obtained information about Silver Shark Island..."
As he spoke, Elder Lu showed a file from many years ago.
At that time, the Star Palace had just moved to the outer sea. When everything was still undecided, it sent people to occupy and explore the islands to find out the details of all the forces in the entire outer sea.
Even if it is as barren as Silver Shark Island, Xing Gong has not given up on it!
After sending monks to this place, we also received some feedback. Combining this old information from that year, the elders here can also see a lot of clues.
"Well, is this the information about the exploration of Silver Shark Island that year, the exploration completed by the Jindan monk team?"
"There were actually some casualties and conflicts!"
"Oh, I discovered the mine, but I don't seem to pay much attention to it. Why..."
The parties involved that day were also brought to the scene.
After a period of interrogation by the elders, the Jindan said: "Ancestors, that day, I followed the order and went to Silver Shark Island to open up, and I also discovered some clues. However, the monsters were so ferocious at that time that I was beyond my power. , I am not sure how much minerals there are on the island, and at that time, the inner and outer star seas were not peaceful, so I could only withdraw with regret..."
After hearing these explanations, the White House host also pinched his beard and asked: "Do you have anything to say?"
"Deputy Palace Master Bai, from what this disciple said, is there a big mine on Silver Shark Island?"
"Yes, otherwise, why would the demon clan retreat?"
"Wait a minute, you just said that there is someone colonizing Silver Shark Island, and there are ferocious monsters attacking?"
"Did someone already have a plan?"
The elders were so clever in thinking that they immediately saw the crux of the problem.
Elder Bai also sighed inwardly.
He already knew about the Silver Shark Island matter and had discussed it with Ling Yuling.
Behind Silver Shark Island is Miaoyin City.
At that time, both Elder Bai and Ling Yuling believed that Silver Shark Island was a chess piece deployed by Miaoyin City in the outer sea.
The purpose is to monitor the situation outside the sea so as not to have a blind eye.
This guess can't be wrong.
Xing Gong also relies on himself to judge others, so the logic makes sense.
After all, Silver Shark Island is far away from the core area of the Outer Star Sea, so it would be difficult to use this place as a springboard to attack the Star Palace.
Likewise, this place is quite barren, and it is not a good choice to hunt sea beasts here.
Who would have thought that mines could be dug near the Silver Shark Islands?
"well!"
After sighing.
Elder Bai covered up this matter as if he knew about it for the first time.
"This matter is treated as if there is a big mine here, so why do the monsters divert their attacks here?"
"Yes, giving up halfway doesn't seem like Lao Suanni's plan!"
Many elders have dealt with alien sea monsters and know that the IQs of the transformed demon cultivators are already very high, and ordinary tactics cannot deceive these intelligent demon cultivators.
"It seems that only some irresistible interests can make Lao Suanni do this..."
"Could it be that this mine produces some unique treasure?"
"Yes, Miaoyin City is a million miles away from me, and I have to rush here to dig for mineral deposits. This shows that the minerals on this island are very valuable, right?"
Curiosity and inquiry arose in the hearts of many elders.
Lao Suanni and the Master of Miaoyin, Taoist Taoist Creation, are both as famous as the twin saints of Xinggong.
Something that can make these two people excited is definitely a treasure in the hands of ordinary Yuanying!
"Why don't we go and explore together?"
"No!"
An elder repeatedly stopped him.
"At this time, what if we go over there, attract the attention of the monsters, and redirect our combat power here?"
"Yes, let both the monster and Miaoyin City suffer!"
"Yes, this Taoist Taoist from Miaoyin City doesn't seem to get along at first glance. If the monsters dare to attack the Silver Shark Islands, they will definitely have a fight with this person..."
"The opportunity for our Star Palace to turn around has come!"
"That's right, that's right. If both Lao Suanni and Taoist Creation are harmed, won't the opportunity come for our Star Palace to return to the inner sea?"
After saying this, the elders of Xing Gong all looked hopeful.
Elder Bai frowned and pondered for a while, then turned to look at Ling Yuling who was listening.
"Young Palace Master, do you have any ideas?"
Ling Yuling has not spoken since she came to the palace.
She is already in the late stage of Jindan at this time, and she is always planning to achieve Nascent Soul.
Since the two saints were 'missing' for a long time, Ling Yuling's aura has become weaker and weaker.
Even though most of the people brought to the sea by the Twin Saints were die-hard loyalists of the Twin Saints, who made Ling Yuling just a golden elixir monk?
If they were ordinary Jindan monks, they would not be qualified to speak in front of these Yuanying Star Palace elders.
This time, if Elder Bai hadn't invited her to come, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to attend this meeting at all.
After listening for such a long time, Ling Yuling said nothing.
Because, as the two saints disappeared for longer and longer, the shock to these elders became weaker and weaker.
Especially last time, when the monsters attacked, the two saints did not show up, which shocked the hearts of the people in the Star Palace. If Elder Bai had not supported them alone, I am afraid someone would have had ulterior motives.
Even if Elder Bai is loyal, he can't control someone's ambition!
Ling Yuling knew all this well so she stayed in seclusion for many years.
Only when everyone mentioned Taoist Creation, Ling Yuling's eyes flashed with light.
Ling Yuling's thoughts couldn't help but go back to many years ago.
I met him and had a very happy conversation.
If I hadn't been a little more impatient, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a situation, right?
When they first moved to the outer sea, the Twin Saints also planned to negotiate peace with Li Su, the Taoist Taoist of Creation. At that time, they expected that on the condition that the young master Ling Yuling married Li Su, the Star Palace would resume exchanges and trade between the inner and outer star seas, and fully assist Li Su. One person rules two places to recreate the glory of the Star Palace.
This plan is still in my ears, but just a few decades later, everything seems like a bubble.
The expected Great Depression in the Inner Star Sea did not occur!
The so-called peace talks are nothing but wishful thinking.
The two saints have long since stopped mentioning this matter and are now practicing with peace of mind to restore their own cultivation.
After waiting with great expectation for ten years, Ling Yuling was already disheartened and no longer looked forward to this event.
"well!"
Hearing Elder Bai's question, Ling Yuling sighed softly and said: "Yu Ling has no idea, but although our star palace has a firm foothold in the outer sea, the surrounding situation is in turmoil, and the relationship with the two major forces in the inner star sea is not harmonious. , and the thieves of the Anti-Star Alliance are in a dead end, and the demon clan has just withdrawn its troops from the offshore islands, so no matter what decision you make, you must be cautious!"
Listening to what Ling Yuling said, many elders nodded secretly.
In recent years, not only Ling Yuling has felt the changes within the Star Palace, but many elders are also knowledgeable.
Why can't you see that since the Double Saints' Shenyin', the power of this young palace master has become less powerful day by day!
Moreover, although the Twin Saints led the elders to escape from the bloody battle in the Inner Star Sea, they also made the elders give up many of their family properties in the Inner Star Sea. Although most of the elders were die-hard loyalists to the Twin Saints and had no regrets or complaints in their hearts, these elders How can future generations and relatives be reconciled?
The cultivation level of these relatives is definitely not high. In addition, they are extravagant on weekdays. After coming to the outer sea, their living conditions have plummeted. Naturally, they are dissatisfied and make all kinds of slanderous remarks.
Repeated suppression has had little effect.
Over time, the reputation of the two saints was severely suppressed.
Even many veterans who were loyal to the Twin Saints were a little shaken by the repeated slanders from these juniors.
Many people even want to exterminate the Twin Saints lineage and establish their own lineage to seize the throne of the Lord of the Star Palace.
Of course, this kind of rebellious thought was vigorously suppressed by the elders.
But this situation is dangerous enough!
What if one day, I can no longer suppress it?
Ling Yu's spirit is the most dangerous!
"What the young master said is absolutely true."
"Yes, the young master is quite insightful."
"Yes, be cautious first, young master, please wait for me..."
Some old ministers who still cared about the Twin Saints began to praise Ling Yuling constantly to express their 'loyalty'.
There were also some elders who had complicated expressions but did not speak.
"well!"
Take everyone's performance seriously.
Elder Bai also knew that people who did not open their mouths to praise did not mean that they did not support the Twin Saints.
It's just that because of the change of time, I have a little more thoughts in my mind.
Even if he were not single and had no relatives to take care of, he would probably be affected.
"Okay, it's not appropriate to start a big fight at this time, but since our star palace controls the outer sea, we must not indulge the demon clan. We must explore the land of Silver Shark Island, but we can't make a big show of it..."
Elder Bai finally set the tone for this matter and explored it in a prudent manner.
After knowing the details, Xinggong will make his own decision!
…
Silver Shark Islands.
The prison-suppressing beast clone's eyes tightened.
At this time, he had stopped driving the puppets to mine.
Once thousands of demon rat puppets are excavated, it will inevitably cause considerable vibrations.
It was easy to reveal the location of Blue Sky Island!
Nowadays, the demon tribe is encroaching heavily, and several different demon cultivators have flown over from Blue Sky Island.
It's just that Li Su's clever arrangement and the calmness of the prison beast prevented him from being discovered by the monster beasts.
"Waiting for the reinforcements from Zhengti!"
According to the original work, the top-quality spiritual stone should have been dug out a hundred years later, after Han Li returned to the Sea of Chaotic Stars.
Today, it is too early to dig the Blue Sky Island Spiritual Mine!
Li Su opened this mine a hundred years earlier.
The Golden Toad clone has been guarding the place for many years.
Nowadays, the Prison Suppressing Beast controls a team of demon beast puppets. With thousands of demon rat puppets who specialize in mining, the entire mine is decreasing at a rapid rate, and more and more core ores are being mined.
Calculating the speed of excavation, it is comparable to that in the original work!
It is normal to dig up the best ore.
"How could these monsters come around so quickly?"
Although it had been predicted for a long time that Xiao Suan Ni Ao Xin's escape would definitely arouse the temptation and covetousness of the alien sea monster clan.
Unexpectedly, Lao Suani was too decisive and withdrew his troops from the front line of the Star Palace confrontation early. Instead, he released a large number of monsters near Silver Shark Island.
It can only be said that this old dragon who has lived for many years is too cunning, and both Xing Gong and Li Su are inferior in strategic layout.
The prison beast waited patiently.
A group of clones from the Inner Star Sea are taking advantage of the ocean currents on the bottom of the sea and using Jiaoren to lead the way.
Li Su sat on the boat with a calm expression and rushed to the outer sea at a speed as fast as popular.
This time, something happened to the best spiritual stone, which somewhat disrupted his rhythm.
You know, the best spiritual stone in the original work should have happened many years later.
Unexpectedly, a butterfly effect came to him!
No, according to the normal mining rhythm, it is reasonable for the top-quality spiritual stones to appear.
It is not the so-called butterfly effect at all, but the differences caused by normal development.
"This time, old Suan Ni, maybe we have to fight again?"
