Qin Ziling took the letter, glanced at it a few times, his face darkened, and he said coldly: "What a big tone!"
"The thirty-six fairy islands overseas are nominally canonized by King Zhu Hang, but after all they are overseas. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. As long as the tribute is paid in full every five years, King Zhu Hang is too lazy to give details. Regulated.
Therefore, among the overseas islands, the real decisions are actually made by the three immortal islands of Xueyun Island, Floating Island, and Nanli Island, also known as the Shangsan Islands.
Although they are not allowed to annex the fairy islands that have been canonized by the king due to the regulations of King Zhu Hang, they are actually the uncrowned kings overseas, and no one dares to violate their will easily.
Qingyun Immortal Island is located closer to Floating Island, which is considered the sphere of influence of Floating Island. Generally speaking, Blood Cloud Immortal Island cannot point fingers at Qingyun Immortal Island.
It's just that they used the excuse that two Earth Immortal Guardians were killed two months ago, and we happened to pass through that sea area, so there were serious suspicions, and wanted us to go for investigation and questioning, so it was difficult for Floating Island to come forward.
After all, on the surface, our thirty-six fairy islands have no affiliation, and the Blood Cloud Fairy Island is very powerful, so if it does not involve its own fundamental interests, the Floating Island will certainly not want to conflict with them. " Qu Zhong explained helplessly.
"Do you mean we really want to go?" Qin Ziling frowned when he heard this.
"Mr. Qin and the island owner must not go, I will go alone. In this way, I can give an explanation to Tu Xun. As long as I refuse to admit it, he has no choice. At most, he will kill me to vent his anger, but there will be no more This is an excuse to attack our Qingyun Immortal Island." Qu Zhong replied.
"No!" Qin Ziling categorically objected when he heard this, and he stood up, stroking his chin and pacing in the courtyard.
"Mr. Qin, I know you are a person who values friendship, but for the sake of Qingyun Fairy Island and the island owner, this is also the best choice. Moreover, Mr. Qin is with the island owner and Qingyun Fairy Island. No matter what happens during this trip, Whether it's life or death, I don't worry about it." Qu Zhong quickly stood up and followed Qin Ziling step by step to persuade him.
"You don't need to say more about this, I won't agree." Qin Ziling paused and said.
"But over there at Blood Cloud Island..." Seeing that Qin Ziling was determined not to sacrifice himself, Qu Zhong couldn't help being moved and anxious at the same time.
"Tu Xiu is Tu Xiu, and Xueyun Island is Xueyun Island. If Ancestor Xueyun doesn't come out, Tu Xiu's attempt to attack our Qingyun Immortal Island is just a fool's dream. I think, as a true immortal, Xueyun Ancestor, no matter it is For reasons of face and balance of forces, he should not be able to attack Qingyun Island easily!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice, exuding strong domineering and self-confidence.
His strength has grown by leaps and bounds recently, and even if he faces a true immortal, he still has hope of escape. Moreover, now that he has accidentally discovered the secret of the fragments of the "Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield", if he is really forced to risk his life, even a bad immortal will be refined by him!
"Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield" is the name Qin Ziling chose himself.
Of course, Qin Ziling would definitely not release the fragments of the "Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield" unless absolutely necessary.
Once this incomplete magic weapon is released to refine the true immortal, it will only require much more souls than the last time it was refined. In this way, even if his soul is not sucked dry, it will definitely be severely traumatized.
Moreover, no one is guilty of harboring the jade. Once such a powerful magic weapon as the "Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield" fragments is released and refined into true immortals, I am afraid that all the true immortals in the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain will be alarmed, and there is a high probability that they will be killed. will come after him.
Therefore, Qin Ziling would definitely not release the fragment unless it was in a desperate situation.
But with that fragment, Qin Ziling now at least has the strong confidence to face the true immortal.
"Ancestor Xueyun will definitely not take action personally. Firstly, he relies on his identity; secondly, Qingyun Immortal Island is a fairy island consecrated by the king. It is okay for his men to come to attack. If he himself comes to attack, it will be against the king. It was a provocation; the third time I came to Qingyun Immortal Island, it was close to Floating Island, and Patriarch Xueyun personally came to attack. This was also a provocation to Patriarch Fukong.
After all, it was only two ordinary Earth Immortal protectors who died, and there was no basis for it. They were just some clues. Tu Xi led people to attack, which was actually an excessive move. How could Patriarch Xueyun take action? Unless the person who died was Tu Xiu, or another important person on Blood Cloud Island. " Seeing Qin Ziling exuding strong domination and confidence, Qu Zhong couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and said with a solemn expression.
"So, as long as we don't kill the beasts, this matter will continue to drag on!" Qin Ziling said while touching his chin with a look of thought in his eyes.
What he lacks most now is time.
As long as he is given enough time and his martial arts breaks through to the late stage of rebirth, he can start to consider surviving the Immortal Infant Tribulation or even the Immortal Tribulation.
After all, Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land is a blessed land for cultivating immortals. There are many powerful people, and there are naturally many records on various aspects of cultivation.
Qin Ziling used to only know that after the divine soul manifests itself, there will be a thunder tribulation, and after the thunder tribulation, there will be an immortal.
Only now do we know that the soul has to survive ten heavenly tribulations. After the first heavenly tribulation, it is the realm of thunder tribulation, also known as the immortal.
Those who have survived one heavenly tribulation are considered first-grade immortals, those who have survived nine times are considered ninth-grade immortals, and those who have survived the tenth tribulation are considered immortals.
Once Qin Ziling's martial arts breaks through to the late stage of rebirth and survives the Immortal Infant Tribulation, he will truly have the fighting power to compete with true immortals.
And once he survives the first Immortal Tribulation, the power of Pure Yang will inevitably increase greatly. At that time, he will have the confidence to release the fragments and refine the true immortal.
Qu Zhong was stunned for a long time when he saw that Qin Ziling actually said "As long as he doesn't kill the beasts".
That was Tu Xiu, an Earth Immortal in the late Immortal Infant stage. Looking at the thirty-six Immortal Islands overseas, he was definitely a first-rate powerhouse below the True Immortal. Except for the True Immortal and a few of the top Earth Immortals, who would dare to kill him? ?
"This, this, could it be that Mr. Qin has the intention of killing animals..." After a long time, Qu Zhong cautiously asked.
"I haven't fought against Tu Xi, so it's hard to draw a conclusion prematurely. However, Tu Xi came to attack our Qingyun Immortal Island, and we have a favorable location, so there should be no problem in killing Tu Xi.
It's just a pity that there is Patriarch Xueyun behind Tu Xiu. Killing him now will definitely provoke Patriarch Xueyun, so for the time being, we can only refuse him and wait until the time is right before killing him. Qin Ziling replied with determination.
"The location is favorable?" Qu Zhong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Qin should be referring to the island protection formation, right? Mr. Qin may have overestimated the power of our island protection formation."
"What do you think of the Five Elements Cave Mansion now?" Qin Ziling pointed to the five peaks surrounding Riyue Lake and asked with a smile.
The Five Elements Cave Mansion and the Sun Moon Lake were renamed by Qin Ziling himself, and he had already informed Qu Zhong.
"This Five Elements Cave Mansion has been rearranged by Mr. Qin. Now it is full of fairy spirit. It is very different from before. Even compared with the main peak Qingcang Peak, it is no less impressive." Qu Zhong said with admiration. Qu Zhong seemed to suddenly think of something here. He trembled slightly and looked at Qin Ziling with a look of surprise on his face: "Could it be..."
"That's right!" Qin Ziling nodded towards Qu Zhong.
As soon as Qin Ziling finished speaking, five rays of light of different colors rose into the sky from the five peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Five rays of light showed the current situation of the mountain peaks. Together, they turned into a big mountain with five peaks, falling towards Qu Zhong in the distance.
Before the five-fingered peaks really fell, Qu Zhong felt an extremely powerful invisible pressure, as if the five peaks really came together and were suppressing him.
Qu Zhong had no doubt that if the mountain really fell on him, he would turn into flesh!
Qu Zhong had a look of horror on his face, and the immortal power in his body started to work quickly.
Qin Ziling just smiled when he saw this, and the five-fingered mountain peak turned into five rays of light, each one submerged into the mountain and disappeared.
"Mr. Qin is really a master. If there is such a powerful formation to protect the island and we can't hold on, what can Tu Xi do to us? But Tu Xi only gave us seven days. If he delays it for a few more days, I am afraid that at most In about ten days, we will come to raise troops to investigate. In just ten days, I wonder if Mr. Qin will have time to set up the formation? If not, we will have to retreat to the Five Elements Cave Mansion on Mr.'s side." Qu Zhong was stunned for a long time when he saw this. , just then he regained his composure and spoke.
"Ten days is enough!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
"That's it, Mr. Lao!" Qu Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to Qin Ziling to the end.
"I want to set up a killing array, called the Seven Killing Sword Formation. Qingcang Peak and the six peaks connected to it add up to exactly seven, which is exactly what the Seven Killings means.
This formation requires seven fairy flying swords as magic weapons to suppress the formation. However, there is no way to find all seven fairy flying swords in an instant. We can only temporarily replace them with seven top-grade mysterious flying swords. I think it will be similar to the fairy infant's later stage. Xian Zhouxuan should be enough.
In addition, seven people are required to guard the seven peaks. You, Yu Shibin, Weng Yue, Duan Yiqing, Zhuang Zhonglin, Yan Qimao and Qin Huiping are exactly seven people. You can sit on the seven peaks and control the Seven Killing Sword Formation. Qin Ziling said.
He had been on Qingyun Island for many days, and during his free time, he had already used his soul to explore Qingcang Peak and the Five Elements Earth Lines of the six connected peaks. He also thought about how to arrange the formation in private.
It's just that his focus is on the Five Elements Cave Mansion and his practice. He hasn't yet spared the energy to arrange the seven peaks such as Qingcang Peak. He originally wanted to delay it for a while, but Tu Xiu came to kill him, so he had to advance. Start setting up.
As for the six Yu Shibin he mentioned, they were exactly the six loyal Jindan monks.
Now, although these six people are just Jindan monks, they have also been entrusted with the position of protectors, and each of them has taken a mountain peak as a personal practice cave.
"It is indeed impossible to find the seven immortal weapons based on the foundation of Qingyun Island, but the seven top-grade mysterious flying swords can still be gathered together. Yu Shibin and the six are all loyal and reliable people. If the seven of us can If a person controls the formation, he will not be afraid of any accidents." Qu Zhong said with great joy after hearing this.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded, thought for a moment, took out a medium-sized dust-free elixir, handed it to Qu Zhong and said, "I see that you have improved a lot in your cultivation during this period, and you are not far from the middle stage of Immortal Infant. This elixir should help you break through to the intermediate stage of Immortal Infant in one fell swoop.”
Qu Zhong looked at the dust-free elixir handed over by Qin Ziling and couldn't recover for a long time. After a long time, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you sir!"
"I got this pill by accident. You must not leak the news." Qin Ziling warned.
"I understand, but I won't dare to reveal even a single word." Qu Zhong said.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded and said, "I will take people to Qingcang Peak to set up the Seven Kills Sword Formation today."
…
Nine days later, Xue Ming Island, Elder Hall.
Tu Xiu sat high on the throne, with his black hair flying back, the flesh on his face trembling from time to time, and his body filled with evil energy.
"I have given Qu Zhong and the others two extra days, but they haven't come to Xueming Island yet. No wonder I have conquered Qingyun Island and robbed all their treasure halls!" Tu Xi said.
"Jie Jie, although Qingyun Immortal Island is small, it is still full of fairy energy, and there are many good things on it!" An Earth Immortal in the early stage of the Immortal Infant said with greedy eyes.
"Hey, my subordinates are still worried that Qu Zhong and the others will come to visit, so we have no excuse to go to Qingyun Immortal Island to burn, kill and loot." Another Earth Immortal Guardian said.
"Speaking of it, I haven't taken action for some years. Nowadays, it seems that many people have forgotten my reputation as the 'Blood Butcher'. Even the protector of Qingyun Island and the owner of the island who has no hair even dare to disobey. This Immortal gives an order! If this trip had not destroyed the Qingyun Immortal Island, where would my reputation be?" Tu Xiu slowly stood up and said with a fierce look in his eyes.
The protectors in the main hall all looked excited when they saw this.
Soon, Tu Xi ordered five earth immortal protectors, and thirty golden elixir monks boarded a flying boat and flew away.
Among these five Earth Immortal Protectors, there is one Immortal Infant in the middle stage, four in the early stage of Immortal Infant, and among the thirty Golden Elixir cultivators, most are in the middle or late stage of the Golden Elixir.
…
On the top of Qingcang Peak, in the sky above Cangyun Palace.
Qin Ziling, Qu Zhong and company commander Feng stood in the sky, looking into the distance, with several golden elixir monks wearing armor standing behind them.
A huge flying boat came through the sky against the wind.
"Who is coming? This is the important place of our Qingyun Immortal Island. Stop immediately!" Qu Zhong shouted loudly.
"How brave! This is the third elder of Bloody Cloud Island, Lord Tu Xi. Why don't you come out and kneel down to greet me!" A tall and burly man stood on the bow of the ship and shouted sternly. A powerful momentum came from him. A huge white ape erupted from the body, holding a mace in its hand. It grinned, revealing its white teeth, and its eyes were fierce, as if it wanted to choose someone to devour.
This man was clearly an ape demon, and he was the middle-stage Immortal Infant Earth Immortal among the five Earth Immortal Protectors who came with Tu Xie on this trip.
The ape demon's words were still echoing in the air, and the white ape's shadow had already picked up the huge mace in his hand and smashed it at Qu Zhong and others from a distance.
For a moment, the sky and the earth were in turmoil, the air rolled wildly to both sides, and I don't know how many clouds were blown away.
The terrifying aura came overwhelmingly, and a huge shadow shrouded the sky, as if this huge mace was smashed down and could blow the entire mountain top and the Cangyun Palace above to pieces.
Below, everyone in the Qingyun Xiandao Island Lord's Mansion looked frightened when they saw this.
"How outrageous! Qingyun Immortal Island is the Immortal Island consecrated by the King. You Bloody Cloud Island dares to attack Qingyun Immortal Island for no reason. Are you trying to rebel?" Qu Zhong was undaunted when he saw this and shouted angrily.
While he was scolding, a silver light shot up from his body into the sky and turned into a huge silver chi dragon.
The crystal scales cover the huge dragon body, lifelike and exuding an extremely cold air.
It was Qu Zhong's Ice Chi Sword.
The ice chi sword turned into a chi dragon and soared into the sky facing the huge mace, swinging its huge tail violently.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The chilong and the mace fought one after another in the air, and for a while it was hard to tell the difference.
The people below were secretly relieved when they saw this.
Seeing that the ape demon couldn't take down Qu Zhong, Tu Xi couldn't help but his face darkened and he waved his hand.
The ape demon withdrew the mace, and the flying boat hovered in mid-air, facing Qin Ziling and others who were standing in the sky above Cangyun Palace.
"You must be Qu Zhong, right? It turns out that you are already in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant!" Tu Xi stepped forward and stood proudly in the wind, looking at Qu Zhong with his eyes like knives and asked.
"Yes, it's me!" Qu Zhong replied.
"You should be the so-called master who helped quell the rebellion on Qingyun Island, right?" Tu Xi ignored Qu Zhong's answer, but turned his eyes to Qin Ziling and asked with a hint of disdain and ridicule.
"I don't dare to be called the master of the Third Elder!" Qin Ziling slightly cupped his hands in a humble and polite manner.
"Don't you dare to take it?" Tu Xi smiled coldly and said: "I think you are very brave to take it! Otherwise, how could you dare to disobey my order and delay coming to Xue Ming Island for investigation and questioning?"
"What the Third Elder said is ridiculous!" Qin Ziling said.
"How presumptuous!" The five Earth Immortal Protectors behind Tu Xun all shouted angrily upon hearing this. Immortal power surged from their bodies, and streaks of precious light rushed out.
But Tu Xi waved his hand behind him and said with a joking look in his eyes: "Why are my words so ridiculous?"
"Qingyun Immortal Island is a Immortal Island consecrated by the King. You only listen to the King's orders. I don't know where you, Third Elder, got the courage. You actually dare to order our island owner and me and Protector Qu Zhong to go to Xue Ming Island for investigation and questioning? Is it possible? Can the Third Elder compare himself to the Great King? Could it be that your Bloody Cloud Island wants to rebel? Do you think it’s ridiculous?” Qin Ziling asked with a smile on his face.
"Haha! Okay! Okay! You killed me, the protector of Blood Cloud Island, but you turned out to be sharp-tongued and beat me up. It seems that if I don't kill a few people today, you still think that I, Blood Cloud Island, are easy to bully!" Tu Wenwen He smiled angrily and raised his hand.
Immediately, a bloody palm appeared in the sky.
You can see waves of blood surging on the bloody palm, exuding a strong smell of blood and killing.
Seeing Tu Xun using his bloody hand seal to catch him head-on, Qin Ziling felt murderous intent in his heart, but he suppressed it forcefully and waved his hand.
Qin Ziling waved his hand, and Qu Zhong had a command flag in his hand. He held up the magic formula, unfolded the command flag, and pointed towards Qingcang Peak below.
Suddenly a thick green light shot into the sky.
The green light turned into a man wearing a face-colored robe. Behind him was a huge dragon turtle shadow, majestic and fierce.
The man stepped forward, and the shadow of the dragon turtle behind him came out of the air.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The bloody handprints were heavily suppressed on the thick and huge turtle's back. The dragon turtle sank slightly, holding on to the bloody handprints. Then a dragon claw came out, each of the five claws was as sharp as a sword, facing the bloody handprints. Grab and go.
