Chapter 137
Coastside.
Seeing Fang Qunfeng controlling the sea crossing boat to dock, a group of Qingtian Sect disciples breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that people from the Famous Sword Sect would catch up, and then they and others would really die here.
But Kong Liansheng frowned.
Because he didn't see Wu Qishan.
Fang Qunfeng shouted with disordered breath: "Get on the ship quickly, the masters of the famous sword sect are about to catch up!"
Kong Liansheng jumped on the ferry and asked with a frown:
"Where's Wu Qishan?"
Fang Qunfeng said with red eyes:
"When we were taking the boat, we were discovered by people from the Mingjian Sect. In order to save the boat and allow us to escape safely, Elder Wu... Elder Wu sacrificed his life!"
"What!" Kong Liansheng's face darkened, but he quickly made a decision and ordered:
"Return to Qingzhou immediately."
The next moment, the sea crossing boat rushed out suddenly and quickly disappeared on the sea.
On the top of the cliff, Xiao Zhan stood upright, his black cloak rustling in the sea breeze.
He knew very well that if it hadn't been for the help of the three elders, if it hadn't been for Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu's help, Yanlong City and the one and a half million soldiers of the God of War would have turned into withered bones all over the city.
"After all, my strength is still too weak."
Xiao Zhan murmured to himself, having a more urgent need for strength.
He turned around and left, heading towards the pool where a large number of True Essence Stones were hidden last time.
According to the plan, the second batch of True Essence Stones should be transported to Yanlong City.
When Xiao Zhan arrived, the entire small valley was quiet.
It wasn't until Xiao Zhan's face was seen clearly that Li Mo and others emerged from their hiding place.
It's the same process as last time, cutting down trees to make wooden boxes, and Xiao Zhan goes down to fill them with true essence stones.
This time the quantity is still two thousand boxes.
In fact, there are still a lot of true essence stones left in Yanlong City, which also makes Xiao Zhan a little worried, because the members of the Temple of War are a bit slow in absorbing the true essence stones.
Of course, this slowness is just what Xiao Zhan thinks. He does not know that because of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques", the members of the Temple of War can absorb the True Essence Stone faster than the geniuses in the Qingtian Sect and the Famous Sword Sect. Not bad at all.
At the same time, the second batch of supplies from Yanlong City also arrived.
This time the weapon is more powerful and has wider uses.
The only pity is that many high-tech equipment cannot be used here, otherwise Xiao Zhan would really be sure to have a chance with forces like Qingtian Sect and Mingjian Sect.
Although these weapons do not pose much of a threat to masters above the Yuan Dan realm, they can at least prevent people from the other four states from attacking Yanlong City on a large scale.
As long as they dare to send out a large army to get close to Yanlong City, let them taste the power of destroying the world!
Likewise, this time I will send twenty boxes of true essence stones back to Yanlong Kingdom.
It can be foreseen that it won't take long for Yanlong Kingdom to grow up a large number of masters in the Qi Gathering Realm.
By then, Xiao Zhan's second plan will be put on the agenda.
At the same time, Qingzhou.
The conflict between the Mingjian Sect and the Qingtian Sect is completely unclear.
The Qingtian Sect believed that the Famous Sword Sect must have found clues to the treasure in Huangzhou, and everything they did in Huangzhou was to deceive others, and they also killed many people in the Qingtian Sect.
The Mingjian Sect firmly believed that it was the Qingtian Sect who established a station in Huangzhou to search for the treasures of the Huangzhou, but they insisted on raking up the blame, saying that it was the Mingjian Sect that did all this.
As a result, the previous relationship between the two top forces in Qingzhou has completely deteriorated and may break out at any time.
Especially the ordinary disciples of the two sects who were outside did not know the truth at all. They only knew that the other party had killed their fellow disciples.
For a time, there were many fights between the disciples of the two factions, each resulting in casualties, and the conflict was further aroused.
The battle between the two top forces has naturally attracted widespread attention.
But both the Qingtian Sect and the Mingjian Sect kept silent about the reasons for the fight, because they both believed that the other party had discovered information about the treasures left in Huangzhou, so how could they let others intervene to get a share of the pie.
But both families know that once a large-scale conflict breaks out, the big forces that were originally good friends will instantly turn into beasts that eat people without spitting out bones, and join forces to beat the two families into a state of being unable to fight back.
Therefore, the matter in Huangzhou seems to have become a tacit secret between the two families.
Neither Qingtian Sect nor Mingjian Sect rashly sent anyone to Huangzhou again.
This undoubtedly gives Yanlong City more time to develop.
…
On this day, the wind was calm and the sun was beautiful, with no clouds in the sky.
All the warriors in Yanlong City perform their duties, and teams come in and out of Yanlong City in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, in the pyramid building in the center of Yanlong City, a heart-stopping aura suddenly erupted.
This smell is very strange. It makes people feel extremely hot and cold at the same time.
Lan Su and Qin Ming, who were in retreat, immediately rushed outside the secret room where Xiao Zhan was retreating.
That powerful aura came from this secret room.
Lan Su's face showed shock, and there was a touch of relief in his eyes:
"Xiao Zhan made such a big noise in the middle of his promotion to the Qi Sea Realm. He is truly the top genius in our Yanlong Kingdom."
Qin Ming nodded and sighed:
"There are talents from generation to generation, and each generation becomes stronger than the last."
"We can only hope to catch up."
Lan Su looked at the closed stone door of the secret room, nodded and said:
"If we old people don't work hard, we may not even have the chance to go to the battlefield in the future. In order not to delay Xiao War, we must improve our strength as soon as possible."
Qin Ming nodded, feeling that the momentum in the secret room gradually subsided, and then asked:
"Xiao Zhan, how do you feel?"
Xiao Zhan opened the stone door of the secret room and said with a smile:
"I don't feel anything. I'm only at the middle stage of Qi Sea Realm, still far away."
Qin Ming nodded and handed a letter to Xiao Zhan.
"This is the letter your wife Ye Wei asked someone to bring home. Please read it."
In the secret room.
Xiao Zhan picked up the envelope, with four simple and clear characters written on it:
"Xiao Zhan personally initiated it."
Next to these four beautiful handwritings, there is also a line of slightly immature but still neat pencil calligraphy:
"Dad, Yaoyao misses you so much."
A happy smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face, he pulled out the letter paper and read it carefully.
Xiao Zhan's eyes turned red as he watched.
Between the lines, although the home life is ordinary, Xiao Zhan feels the warmth of home. Although there is a long distance, Xiao Zhan also feels that Ye Wei's heart is close to his.
In the envelope, there were several photos of Ye Wei holding Xiao Yaoyao.
Ye Wei's belly is getting bigger day by day, and Xiao Yaoyao seems to be growing taller too.
Xiao Zhan put the photo into the envelope and gently placed the envelope on the table next to him.
After walking out of the secret room, Xiao Zhan inspected the entire Yanlong City, then went to check the surrounding firepower points, and finally went to a hundred meters underground to check the deployed long-range attack weapons.
Later, Xiao Zhan called Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye looked serious, stood upright, and said in a deep voice:
"Palace Master, there are 1.48 million soldiers in the Temple of War. Currently, 20 people have been promoted to the Qi Gathering Realm, 380 people have entered the God Level, 15,800 have entered the Holy Level, and the rest have all Heaven level!”
Xiao Zhan nodded and said in a deep voice:
“Although we have made great progress, we still have a long way to go to keep working hard.”
Yuan Ye clenched his right fist and placed it on his chest, then smiled and said:
"Hall Master, should we expand the scope of our territory? It is thousands of miles in radius and is now impregnable. If it is not a strong attack, we will not be afraid at all."
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed.
"Yuan Ye, please remember one thing, as long as we are stronger, wherever we go will be our Yanlong City's territory."
"But our strength is not up to it. Even if we expand our territory, we still can't hold it."
Yuan Ye nodded with some disappointment, "I know the palace master."
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and warned:
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."
"I plan to go to Qingzhou."
Yuan Ye's expression changed: "Palace Master, absolutely not!"
"If you have to go, let me go, I'm not afraid of death!"
Xiao Zhan glared at Yuan Ye, "Can't you say something nice? Do you think I'm going to die?"
Yuan Ye nodded with a serious face, "Palace Master, I know you are powerful, but there are so many masters in Qingzhou. With your current strength, you probably won't even be able to withstand a slap from those strong men."
Xiao Zhan raised his palm and looked at Yuan Ye expressionlessly:
"Then do you want to try and see if you can withstand my slap?"
Yuan Ye smiled and still said:
"Palace Master, even if you beat me to death, I will not allow you to go to Huangzhou."
With that said, Yuan Ye turned around and ran away: "I'll tell Senior Lan Su and Senior Qin Ming, and they will definitely not agree."
A smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face, and his expression became solemn the next moment.
Within a moment, Lan Su and Qin Ming arrived.
Their views were the same as Yuan Ye's, they didn't want Xiao Zhan to go to Qingzhou because it was too risky.
Qin Ming frowned, his old face full of worry:
"Xiao Zhan, I know you are eager to find out Qingzhou's true strength."
"But this is too risky. If you have to go, let me go!"
Just as Xiao Zhan was about to speak, he heard Qin Ming say in a deep voice:
"Besides, didn't Fang Yu say that? The ocean is boundless, and there are all kinds of dangerous sea beasts in it."
"It's better to wait until you are stronger."
Xiao Zhan asked with a smile: "How strong will it be until you are strong?"
Qin Ming paused and said in a measured tone: "At least I have to wait until you are promoted to the Divine Emperor Realm."
Xiao Zhan immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "In the Divine Emperor realm, we are almost at the pinnacle of the world. Senior Qin Ming, let's stop joking."
Even though Qin Ming and Lan Su were both masters of the Qi Sea Realm and elders of the Yanlong Kingdom Presbyterian Council, in the final analysis, they were just two old men.
They looked at Xiao Zhan as if they were looking at their own descendants, and Xiao Zhan was immediately moved by their anxious look.
Xiao Zhan put his arms around their shoulders and walked side by side to the outside of the tower, bathing in the warm sunshine.
Xiao Zhan stretched and said softly:
"Before I became a god, in every battle I experienced, the enemy was stronger than me."
"But I know that I can't lose. There are still people and things I care about in my heart, so I won't die."
Qin Ming sighed deeply: "I knew I couldn't persuade you."
Lan Su secretly wiped away her tears, "Then when do you plan to come back?"
Xiao Zhan calculated in his mind and said in a deep voice:
"My main purpose here is to monitor the movements of Qingtian Sect and Mingjian Sect. Once they make any moves, I will come back immediately."
"In addition, the third elder is on the opposite side of the sea, and he will always be observing the movements."
"I estimate that this trip will take as long as half a year, or as short as one or two months."
Lan Su wiped her tears with her sleeve, nodded and said:
"I have seen photos of Ye Wei's baby girl. She is kind-hearted and cares about others. Don't make her worry. You must come back to Yanlong Kingdom to be with her before the second child is born. "
Xiao Zhan nodded seriously: "Senior, don't worry, I will do it."
"In addition, I will definitely come back before the second step of the plan is implemented."
"Also, senior Qin Ming reminded me just now."
"Deep-sea detectors and submarines must be developed as soon as possible so that we can figure out what is in the sea and facilitate the implementation of our second step plan."
Qin Ming nodded seriously, "The Equipment Institute is already developing it. There is no news yet, but I estimate that it will be successfully developed in at most half a year."
"Also, experts from all walks of life are already on their way."
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"The first difficulty that experts have to overcome is to establish a signal network here. Otherwise, our many high-tech equipment in Yanlong Kingdom will not be used, and the strength of Yanlong City will be greatly reduced."
"The other four states don't understand our science. This is our biggest advantage and we must make full use of it."
