Tonight's Canglanhai is destined to have a sleepless night.
Following the orders from Jinyangmen and Shituo Island, the various forces and islands in the Cangnan Sea began to rotate rapidly like screws on large machinery.
The sound of flying swords shuttled through the sky like rain, and the entire sea completely woke up.
"Report!"
The slightly anxious voice of the guard sounded outside the attic.
Alarmed by the shouting, the sleeping little fox girl raised her head in confusion, looking at the monkey demon with sleepy eyes and a cute look on her face.
"What's the matter?"
The neatly dressed monkey demon was tall and tall, handsome and graceful, and replied in a deep voice with an arrogant and arrogant expression.
"Report from Chiba City! The beast tide is coming. Please go to Chiba Pier, sir."
"I know, go down."
The monkey demon's calm voice came from the attic.
"yes!"
I don’t know if he was infected by the monkey demon, but the guard’s frightened voice calmed down slightly and he respectfully left.
"Jin Lang..."
"Owner……"
Liu Rushi and Little Fox Lady shouted out in unison with worried faces.
Ye Jin smiled calmly, caressed Liu Rushi's catkins, led her to the little fox girl, took the little fox girl's hands and folded them together, and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, the tide of beasts won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. Just wait and get some sleep. I'll be here soon."
Mr. Liu's pretty face hesitated to speak, but finally nodded calmly, hugged the little fox girl who was still a little scared in comfort, raised his head and asked the monkey demon softly:
"Jin Lang, be careful all the way. I will take good care of Sister Xiaojiu. Everything at home is safe, waiting for you to come back."
"Don't worry, I have everything."
Ye Jin nodded slightly, his face always calm.
The large spiritual ship Kuiba is parked at the ancestral land of the Wang family. Liu Rushi and the others can take refuge in it when necessary.
When the fourth-level defensive formation [Blue Water and Green Armor Formation] is activated, even if the fourth-level sea beast attacks, it will not be able to break through until the energy is exhausted.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario. Even if the beast tide comes, it will take some time, and it will not be so fast.
Ye Jin's voice fell, and a dark demonic mist rose from the soles of his feet.
The next second, the monkey demon disappeared from the boudoir, leaving only the two women comforting each other and hugging each other with worried faces.
…
Late at night, Chiba Castle is brightly lit, just like daylight.
Following Qianye Hall's orders, the entire Qianye City was mobilized. In addition to the mortals without cultivation, even the first-level minor cultivation demons in the early stages of Qi training and spiritual awakening were also organized into the team according to the long-planned plan. Division of ranks.
For a time, all the cultivators gathered together and each took precautionary measures.
The [Earth Fire, Sky Wind Formation] in Chiba City is fully activated, covering the entire Chiba Island. The scorching earth fire and the Nine Heavenly Winds are ready to attack, and can explode to kill the enemy with just one command.
Every key place on the island is heavily guarded, and every place is guarded by at least one to two third-level overhauls.
For places that must be defended, such as Chiba Pier, Master Jingde of Zifu Dzogchen is personally in charge.
A ten-foot-high wall was built on the edge of the island. On the high wall, a group of cultivators stood with weapons, torches burning slowly in their hands, illuminating the night sky brightly.
There is a whistle every mile and a post every ten miles, and the little halo of light is swaying, as faint and dim as a candle.
By the time Ye Jin flew to Chiba Pier, the entire Chiba Island was in a state of high state. If it weren't for the reputation of "Shan Kui", he would have to report to the island before he could go to the island.
Bypassing the high walls of the garrisoned earth platform, we passed through the deserted street market.
Soon, Ye Jin arrived at the temporary hall set up by Master Jingde.
The pearls and spiritual stones in the hall twinkled, and the night pearls reflected through them, illuminating the entire reception hall as bright as day.
By the time Ye Jin arrived at the lobby, the reception hall was almost full of people.
In the inner hall, Master Jingde is dressed in a black and yellow brocade robe, with a light mustache, a broad forehead, a flat roof, plump skin and bright eyes, sitting upright on the throne, with an aura of calmness and authority.
small book booth
On the left and right sides of Jingde Zhenren, there are Lei Hao, who has a relationship with Ye Jin, and is born with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and the white-haired, kind-faced Bishui Black Turtle carrying a turtle shell.
On both sides were a middle-aged couple that Ye Jin had never seen before. These two were Taoist couples and the last two leaders of the five third-level leaders of Qianye Hall.
They are Hu Binhai, the fourth leader, a late cultivator on the seventh floor of Zifu, Dong Feishang, the fifth leader, and a late cultivator on the sixth floor of Zifu.
Since Kang and Li were responsible for the merchant shipping of Qianye Hall, they often followed the ships, so they rarely stayed in Qianye City and never met Ye Jin.
In addition to the five leaders of Qianba Hall, the hall also gathered the heads of various forces on Qianba Island, or the third-level major cultivators from the casual cultivators also appeared here.
These family forces basically exist based on Qianye Hall, and a small number of them are families established by casual cultivators. However, due to the scarcity of blood, they have not yet become established.
Including Gaogang Island and Puying Island, which are both Wei Islands like Taohua Island, they also sent their own responsible persons to participate in the discussion.
However, unlike Taohua Island, Taohua Island is much more prosperous than Gaogang Island and Puying Island due to the painstaking management of the Wang family of the Zifu family, and is basically in a semi-independent state.
After Ye Jin eliminated the Wang family and took over Peach Blossom Island, Peach Blossom Island became completely independent from Chiba Island, but on the surface it was still under the control of Chiba Island. In fact, Peach Blossom Island had great freedom, and Chiba Hall also acquiesced. The independence of Peach Blossom Island.
Don’t they envy Gaogang Island and Puying Island?
That is of course impossible.
Gaogang Island and Puying Island were so envious that they wanted to drool over them. However, the two islands lacked strength and were separated from the trade of Chiba Island. It was even difficult to support their families at Hukou, and they could only rely on Chibado's breath.
Of course, they don't have the strength and backing to escape from the control of Chiba Island.
Ye Jin still relied on Ming Po, so Qianyetang turned a blind eye to what Peach Blossom Island was doing.
Speaking of Ming Po, Ming Po did not participate in the meeting this time. It seems that a powerful pill-forming expert like Ming Po was not interested in participating in this.
Ming Po, who has a rather mysterious origin, will probably only come to Chiba Island's aid at the most critical moment, and will probably not do so under normal circumstances.
When Ye Jin came to the hall, he attracted the attention of almost everyone present.
no way.
In the past two years, Shankui's reputation has become so great that it has spread almost throughout the Cangnan Sea Area. It is hard to imagine that he has never heard of it.
The cultivators in the field looked at the monkey demon with different eyes.
There are those who are curious, there are those who scrutinize, there are those who show kindness, there are those who are jealous, it is just like knocking over the paint box, and so on.
Master Jingde of Qianye Hall, maybe for Ming Po's sake, after the monkey demon came in, he looked kindly at Ye Jin and nodded.
Bishui Xuangui, who was also a demon cultivator, also smiled kindly and nodded as a greeting.
Only Lei Hao had a condescending expression from beginning to end, his eyes squinting at the monkey demon full of scrutiny, which did not make Ye Jin look good.
Bai Bai loses half a million spiritual stones every year, so he can only look good.
If Mingpo hadn't spoken out to support Ye Jin, Lei Hao would have been so angry that he would have gone out in person to punish this evil cultivator.
The remaining two leaders, Hu Binhai and Dong Feishuang, were not hostile to Ye Jin. They looked at the monkey demon with curiosity and were very enthusiastic about this famous mountain leader.
Facing the crowd of cultivators looking at him, the monkey demon looked as usual, bowed his hands to the leaders such as Master Jingde who was sitting at the top, and said:
"Shan Kui has met all the leaders."
"Island Master Shankui is here, take a seat."
Master Jingde nodded with kindness and motioned for Ye Jin to take a seat.
Ye Jin didn't refuse and walked straight to an empty seat.
As soon as he sat down, a bearded man next to him came over, raised his hands in greeting, and said with a hint of respect in a polite tone:
"Meng Qin from Puying Island has met the owner of Shan Island."
The Meng family on Puying Island is a foundation-building family. There are six foundation-building monks in the family. The old patriarch of the Meng family is a perfect foundation-building monk. He is considered a not weak force among the foundation-building families on Chiba Island.
It's a pity that without the rise of the third-level overhaul, it is impossible to remain semi-independent like the Wang family.
This person calls himself Meng Qin. He is presumably from the Meng family on Puying Island. His cultivation level is not low, and he has built a seven-story foundation.
Ye Jin looked around with his peripheral vision and found that the cultivation level of the monks in the entire reception hall was not low. The worst ones were late-stage monks like Meng Qin who had built up the seventh floor.
There are eight major cultivators above the third level. Except for the five leaders of Qianye Hall, the remaining three third-level monks are all casual cultivators. Two demon cultivators and one human cultivator are all at the early stage of the third level.
As Ye Jin is so focused, there are also three or four casual cultivators in Zifu.
Calculating it this way, plus the casual cultivators stationed in various places, Chiba Island's strength can be said to be quite strong.
No wonder Qianye Hall can be one of the three major forces under the Danxing Mountain Villa and Lanyue Sect in the Canglan Sea Area.
If Tang Yufeng of Dianxing Villa had not been a fake elixir monk, it would be impossible for Qianye Hall to compete for the first place.
Ye Jin's peripheral vision glanced over very quickly, almost for a moment. When Meng Qin finished speaking, Ye Jin would not reach out to hit the smiling man, but also responded politely with a smile:
"The Chief of Peach Blossom Island has met Fellow Daoist Meng."
"Master Shankui, you're so polite. Meng can't afford to call Master Shankui a Taoist friend. Who knows, Master Shankui, your breakthrough is about to happen. Maybe in two years, the next time I see Master Shankui, I will call you senior."
Meng Qin waved his hands repeatedly and spoke in a flattering tone.
When Ye Jin eliminated the Wang family, he completely broke away from the second level. Although he had not yet broken through the concentration level, the practitioners present, including Jingde Zhenren, also regarded him as the same level.
In response to Meng Qin's compliments, the monkey demon smiled. He was neither complacent nor humble, and said straightforwardly:
"Shan is a straight-tempered person. Fellow Daoist Meng just says what he wants to say."
Meng Qin, who was pointed out by Ye Jin, was not embarrassed. He was sent by the Meng family to participate in the council. At least he was a key figure in the Meng family and had a very thick skin.
He smiled shyly and said to please:
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with Meng. It's just that it's rare to see the island owner. I want to make some friends. If my Puying Island is in trouble in the future, I hope the island owner can lend a helping hand."
Speaking of this, Meng Qin's face straightened:
"Master Shan Island, don't worry, my Meng family will not give you any less of the benefits you deserve."
At this point, Meng Qin finally revealed his purpose of currying favor with the monkey demon.
Not for anything else, just to protect myself.
After all, it is widely rumored that there is a secret force behind Ye Jin that is not weaker than Qianye Hall. There are at least several third-level major cultivators. It is normal for the Meng family to ask for help.
This is also the helplessness of the Meng family.
After all, Poying Island and Gaogang Island are only Wei Islands. Chibado's desire to protect Chiba Island is already at its limit. It can only be beyond the reach of the three Wei Islands other than Chiba Island.
It can only be said that the monks on Puying Island and Gaogang Island can take refuge in Peach Blossom Island, but no more can be done.
But all the heritage of a family like the Meng family is on the island.
The whole family moved to Peach Blossom Island, and they were able to survive, but all the fortune they had finally saved was in vain.
Under the attack of the beast tide, no matter who you are, all living creatures, vegetation, even just rocks containing spiritual power will be devoured by you.
What is left is a dead island with no life left. Without its foundation, how can the family maintain its operations?
Therefore, the Meng family and Gao family on Puying Island and Gaogang Island did not move to Chiba Island. They only moved some of the Fire bloodline just in case, and the main family members still remained on the island.
I am lucky and hope to be like Peach Blossom Island. What if everything goes well?
However, the two islands are not fools. They know that their own strength is not comparable to that of Ye Jin's Peach Blossom Island, so they have the scene of Meng Qin asking for help. They hope that Peach Blossom Island can advance and retreat together with the three islands and rescue one or two.
If the person in charge of the Gao Family Participation Council on Gaogang Island hadn't been sitting too far away, he wouldn't have asked for help at this time. From time to time, he would sit far away and think about Ye Jin, and signaled frequently.
Sitting on her seat, Ye Jin neither agreed nor refused to Meng Qin's earnest gaze, but politely handed her over:
"Shan saves the trouble."
Meng Qin was unwilling to receive a definite answer from Ye Jin and just wanted to continue pleading.
At this time, Master Jingde, who was sitting at the top, coughed lightly and pulled the cultivators' attention away.
"Calling all my comrades over here, I believe everyone already knows the reason."
"According to the letters from Jinyangmen and Shituo Island, the beast tide has arrived. The nearest beast tide to my Qianba Island will arrive about tomorrow."
"I'm calling you all tonight to discuss the beast tide and how to protect the safety of Qianba Island."
Speaking of this, Master Jingde glanced down.
"Ma'am, just give your orders and I will obey them!"
The person who spoke was the only celebrity cultivator among the three third-level casual cultivators. He was on the second floor of the Zi Mansion. He only knew his surname was Li. He raised his hand and shouted respectfully.
As soon as the Taoist surnamed Li said these words, the casual cultivators present all responded.
"Yes! Once you give the order, Master, no matter whether it is going up the mountain of swords or going down the frying pan, I will never hesitate!"
"With Master Jingde and you and the other leaders in charge, I believe that Chiba Island will be safe!"
"That's right..."
For a moment, the hall was filled with flattering compliments.
At this time, Ye Jin, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up, raised his hands and asked:
"Master, I wonder what the scale of the beast tide that is attacking our Qianba Island territory is. How many third-order sea beasts are there? And are there any fourth-order sea beasts?"
The monkey demon's voice instantly overwhelmed everyone.
These words also expressed the thoughts of all the cultivators present, and they couldn't help but become quiet, staring at Master Jingde intently, with nervousness in their eyes.
There is no way not to be nervous. The danger of the beast tide has swept across the Canglan Sea for thousands of years. Not only many forces have been ruined by the sea beasts.
No one can guarantee that he will survive.
The scale of this wave of beasts attacking Chiba Island was related to the lives and fortunes of everyone present, so they had no choice but to care.
Facing the concerned gazes of the cultivators, Master Jingde did not hide anything and said truthfully:
"According to reports from the front line, the size of this wave of beasts attacking our Chiba Island is about 100,000."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel their breath suffocated, and felt a huge stone pressing down on their hearts.
One hundred thousand sea beasts.
Including the rookies who have just entered the first level of cultivation, the total number of demon cultivators in the entire Chiba Island is less than 10,000.
A tide of 100,000 beasts, a ratio of one to ten, is equivalent to a monk having to face at least ten sea beasts!
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit heavy, Master Jingde said with relief and a smile on his face:
"But you don't have to worry. Although there are one hundred thousand sea beasts, we are not without sharp weapons at our disposal. We monks are the best at pretending to be good at things and relying on the power of the [Earth Fire, Sky Wind Formation], let alone one hundred thousand sea beasts. It’s 200,000, and you can’t even think of attacking our Chiba Island!”
With these words, the outstanding cultivator felt a little reassured. [Earth Fire, Sky Wind Formation], as a fourth-level top formation, has both offense and defense. Under the sweep of earth fire, sky wind, low-priced sea beasts are like ants in front of it.
Seeing that everyone was no longer panicked, Master Jingde continued:
"Among the 100,000 sea beasts, there are no statistics on first-level sea beasts. It is estimated that they account for more than 90%, second-level sea beasts account for less than 10%, and there are fourteen third-level sea beasts.
Among them, there are five at the peak of the third level, four at the late third level, three at the mid-level of the third level, and the remaining two are at the early stage of the third level. "
The number of fourteen third-level sea beasts did not surprise anyone.
Although the third-level sea beasts are comparable to the great cultivators of the Purple Mansion Concentration Stage, relying on the power of spiritual weapons, talismans, and elixirs, practitioners of the same level are stronger than sea beasts in one-on-one situations.
The real threat to powerful third-level monks like Master Jingde is the large number of first- and second-level sea beasts.
One hundred thousand sea beasts, even if they are killed until their mana is exhausted, I am afraid that not many of them can be eliminated.
A few thousand is already the limit. This number is just a drop in the bucket for a hundred thousand sea beasts. On the contrary, once the mana is exhausted, even Jingde Zhenren will face the danger of the ants killing the elephant.
This is also the reason why everyone relied on the superior terrain of the magic circle and did not choose to take the initiative.
Facing the endless tide of beasts, not to mention the Zifu Ningshen, even the Pill Formation Ancestor has only one way to die.
In fact, if there were not one hundred thousand beasts attacking Chiba Island, if there were only ten thousand, the JDZ people would have led the cultivators to take the initiative and eliminate the beasts on the road.
Among the high-level sea beasts, the fourth-level sea beasts are the most threatening to Qianba Island besides the massive beast tide.
After all, the fourth-level sea beast's physical body is comparable to that of the ancestor of Jiedan, with extremely strong energy and blood, and infinite strength. Everyone present, not even Jingde Zhenren, can't break through the defense.
At this time, Master Jingde also mentioned this: "No fourth-order sea beast has been found yet."
Hearing this, all the cultivators in the field breathed a sigh of relief.
Just listen to Master Jingde's tone and say inexplicably:
"Actually, it doesn't matter even if there is. I, Chiba Island, don't have the means to deal with it."
From the perspective of other people, they thought that Jingde Zhenren meant that even if a fourth-order sea beast appeared.
With the power of [Earth Fire, Sky Wind Formation], and the five late-level third-order leaders such as Master Jingde, Ancestor Xuangui, Master Lei Hao, and Hu Binhai, it may not be impossible to block it and stop it on Chiba Island. outside.
Only Ye Jin felt that the meaning behind Jingde's words was probably Ming Po, a powerful pill-forming expert. With Ming Po in charge of Qianye City, a fourth-level sea beast could not threaten the safety of Qianye Island.

PS: 495, go!
