Chapter 410 Ambush
When the month expires, the highlight of the "Treasure Appraisal Conference" of the Mermaid Clan Haishi will be announced to be opened. After the conference is over, this time the Haishi will end. At that time, monks from all over the country can return according to the original path.
Because Diaobi Island is alone overseas, everyone's voyage routes are different. Once they leave the island, the fleet will soon enter the vast sea area, and the possibility of encountering each other is very low. This also led to the fact that there has never been a large-scale battle during the return journey after the end of the previous sea market.
Even if some hostile forces want to ambush on the sea, they often will not succeed, because the sea is not as good as land. If they are chased, they can usually escape smoothly as long as they hide at the bottom of the sea.
The underwater environment is complex and the territory of the mermaid tribe, which has great restrictions on human cultivation. Given this reason, all monks from all over the world have been tacitly informed in the past markets, and they will not attack each other whether they are coming or leaving.
Any grudges that everyone has, they will be resolved on land.
But this time this year, Haishi is a bit different.
The night before the "Treasure Appraisal Conference" was launched, the monks of the Purple Palace from the Nine Sects of Tiandong gathered in Zhong Jianwei's cave.
Zhong Jianwei comes from Xuanqiong Sect and has the mid-stage cultivation of Zifu. He is the leader of the Tiandong fleet this time. In the past month, Ding Xing has been invited by Zhong Jianwei many times to participate in a private secret meeting organized by Zhong Jianwei. He is already quite familiar with each other.
However, at this moment, Zhong Jianwei summoned Ding Xing, not for discussion or for the Jingbao transaction, but for an emergency accident.
In the secret room.
Zhong Jianwei sat upright in the main seat.
Ding Xing and the eight others sat on both sides.
"Earlier, I met fellow Qiu Yanke Qiu from the Jingting Tribe of Jiusu Xueyuan at a treasure competition hosted by the monks of the mermaids. He revealed something to me! After the sea city is over, the Hetao monks will intercept us at the sea..."
Before he could finish his words, the seat was already in a quarrel.
Since the collision between the two continents a hundred years ago, Jiusu Xueyuan launched a war against the Tiandong Immortal Cultivation World. The Xueyuan people and the Hetao people were originally colluding. They were in the same group. Since they were in the same group, why did Qiu Yanke disclose the information about the Hetao monks?
Zhong Jian suppressed his hand and solved the answer: "In fact, half a century ago, all the Xueyuan tribes evacuated the Tiandong Demon Realm. Since then, no war has been initiated. You all know this!
They also secretly contacted fellow Sima from Beimingmo Palace many times, expressing their intention to reconcile with us, hoping to turn war with us into jade. However, because something strange happened, we dared not give trust, so we have been delayed until now, and we still have no answers to them!"
The Zi Mansion monks present were basically aware of the matter of Jiusu Xueyuan's determination to reconcile. Dan Ding Xing and Luo Chizi had just entered the mansion and were not qualified to have such secrets before.
Zhong Jianwei explained to the two of them in particular.
Na Luo Chizi heard it very fresh. He always thought that Xueyuan and Hetao were allies, but he had never expected that he had turned against each other and became enemies.
But Ding Xing is not unfamiliar with it, because the Xueyuan tribes withdrew from the Tiandong Demon Realm entirely because of him.
This was personally promoted by Qiu Sushang. Qiu Sushang followed Empress Yinni all year round and learned about the ancient secrets that broke out from Xiyue Stars. For the sake of the future of the Xueyuan tribes, Qiu Sushang convinced the elders in his family and decisively abandoned the Hetao Sect, and wanted to join Tiandong.
However, this war was initiated by Jiusu Xueyuan himself. They fought as soon as they said they could, and were at peace as they said they could not win the trust of the Tiandong Sect.
All the nine sects of Tiandong ignored the show of their favors from the Xueyuan tribes and unanimously believed that the other party was a hidden trap and ignored them at all.
So over the past 20 or 30 years, even though the Xueyuan tribes had the idea of alliance with Tiandong, they had taken some actions, but they could not succeed.
As for the fellow Taoist Sima mentioned by Zhong Jianwei, he refers to the only late-stage cultivator in the Tiandong Immortal Cultivation World, who is in charge of the Beiming Demon Palace and commands the entire Tiandong Immortal Cultivation World.
There is a late-stage cultivator in Jiusu Xueyuan and Hetao Immortal Cultivation World. They once defeated Sima Zushi of Beimingmo Palace by two sides, thus seizing the territory of the Demon Realm.
They originally wanted to cross Binghua Mountain and defeat Weiguo, but in the Xuanqiong Sect, the leader of the seven sects of Weiguo, there were two middle-level cultivators in the Zifu who were proficient in sword formations. They could compete with each other to fight against the late stage, thus blocking the troops of Xueyuan and Hetao.
This situation of checks and balances has been maintained for decades.
However, now, the balance of power has been broken, and the Nine Sects of Tiandong are facing a new round of war and disaster.
Zhong Jianwei revealed: "Last year, a late-stage cultivator in the Hetao Immortal Cultivation World was added. They lobbyed the Xueyuan tribes and formulated a plan to attack Tiandong, and decided to launch a raid on Binghua Mountain during the Haishi convening! Nowadays, the war should have been burned!"
Hearing these words, all the monks of the Purple House were solemn.
If the Hetao people make a comeback and launch a war to invade Tiandong again, then they may not be able to do it if they want to go back to support, because the Hetao people participating in the Haishi City will chase them along the way until they are firmly entangled in the sea and will not give them any chance to return to the sect.
Although fighting is not allowed in the Marmoset Sea City, and even within a thousand miles of Diaobi Island, there is a forbidden area, the Tiandong fleet will be followed by the Hetao people for a moment, and they will not be able to escape sooner or later.
Ding Xing and the eight people had their own thoughts. They all heard the news that the new advancement of the Purple Mansion in the Hetao Immortal Cultivation World was the first time they heard about it.
Zhong Jianwei had known for a long time, "The Hetao people's combat plan had actually been leaked by the Xueyuan tribes to Sima Zushi of Beiming Demon Palace. The Hetao people wanted to trap us on the sea, which was a delusion!"
Since we had known that the Hetao people were going to start a war, the great ancestors of the Dongjiu Sect must have made complete defense that day.
Ding Xing and the eight people suddenly reduced their pressure: "Senior Brother Zhong, please tell me how to act? We will follow your order!"
Zhong Jianwei shook his cuffs and threw out eight treasure bags:
"When tomorrow's 'treasure appraisal conference' ends, we will be off the island normally. If the Hetao people follow our fleet, then let them chase you!
After leaving the forbidden sea, if Qiu Yanke leads the snow-plane monks and takes the lead in counterattacking the Hetao people, then we will join the battle group! If Qiu Yanke does not take action, then we will abandon the ship and leave and go back to Binghua Mountain. The bag I just handed to you is filled with the 'Tianlou Plate Gate' made by Junior Brother Huyan in Qiongtai Sect. Once the sacrifice is activated, it can help us teleport to Junior Brother Huyan's Jade Tower magic weapon!"
Over the years, Jiusu Xueyuan has been unable to get a response from the Nine Sects of Tiandong. In order to successfully form an alliance with Tiandong, the Xueyuan tribes have prepared the next fierce medicine and took practical actions to prove their sincerity in the alliance.
This sincerity is to attack the Hetao people at a critical moment.
Earlier, Zhong Jianwei met with Qiu Yanke to negotiate the details of joint operations. As long as Qiu Yanke dared to annihilate the Hetao people's fleet, he would win Zhong Jianwei's absolute trust!
