Chapter 225: The Wanfa Tower Ship Arrives, Master Liu Tianning! (8K)
"Brother Pei, please tell me everything you know."
"Do you know where it came from, where it's going, how big it is, and what kind of miracles it has demonstrated?"
Zhao Xing immediately replied: "It should be swimming from west to northeast. I didn't see the whole picture, but its tail fin is more than 300 meters long and its fin spines are 20 to 30 meters long."
"It opened its mouth wide and swallowed up an area of one kilometer in radius. It must have used the dragon whale's innate skill [Swallowing the Sky Vortex]. The ice layer here was originally ten meters thick, but it was able to push it open easily."
Pei Yuanchang was quite regretful: "Some of my subordinates had discovered its traces before, but they only saw a vague silhouette 400 meters underwater. I thought it had left the southwest area of Night Fort, but I never thought it was still lurking in the deep sea."
"Brother Zhao, do you know how powerful this dragon whale is?"
Zhao Xing shook his head slightly: "I can't sense it. According to the book "Deep Sea Giant Beasts", the strength of an adult dragon whale is between the fourth and fifth ranks, and the dragon whales that live longer can reach the fourth rank."
"But the size of this one has exceeded the description in the "Deep Sea Giant Beast Picture", it must be a fourth-grade strength."
Pei Yuanchang nodded. He really wanted to hunt whales, but he also needed to know the strength of the giant beast!
Now, listening to Zhao Xing's description is enough to know a lot of things, including what preparations to make, how big a ship to use, and what bait to use.
Pei Yuanchang had no intention of asking more questions, but he was also an observant man. Seeing that there was only a fish basket in Wen Hua's shed, but no other fishing tackle boxes, he suddenly had an idea and asked, "Brother, does the fishing tackle you bought include the seven-star hook?"
When Zhao Xing heard him ask this, he thought to himself that Pei Yuanchang was really meticulous and he got to the point with just one question.
"Include."
Pei Yuanchang was delighted: "Your fishing gear was swallowed by the dragon whale, is the star-fixing plate still there?"
"Yes, and I have confirmed that it was swallowed."
"However, I cannot hand over the Star Plate to Brother Pei."
Zhao Xing spoke frankly and candidly.
It will be known to others sooner or later. Instead of lying and being looked down upon by Pei Yuanchang if he finds out later, it is better to tell Pei Yuanchang directly: I have it, but I can't give it to you.
Pei Yuanchang was somewhat surprised by Zhao Xing's frankness.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, brother, you are really frank! You really tell me everything you know."
Pei Yuanchang bowed and said, "I will contact Master to discuss the whale hunting plan. I hope you can say a few good words to Master. I can prepare a lot of things to save Master the time of mobilizing the sea vessels and supplies."
Liu Tianning's people have not yet arrived at the Polar Night Sea, and even if they did, they might not be fully prepared. If they turn around and transfer equipment, supplies, and manpower.
The dragon whale might have already run away.
King Lingshuang originally made his fortune in the navy, so Pei Yuanchang is a good partner.
"Sure." Zhao Xing cupped his hands.
Pei Yuanchang stopped asking questions and didn't even take a second look at the magical plants in Wen Hua's shed. If Zhao Xingyuan wanted to tell him, there was no need to ask any more questions.
If you don't want to tell me, it's pointless to ask.
He stayed for a short while and then left quickly, apparently to make preparations.
Zhao Xing was not idle either. He immediately took out the ground mirror and reported to Liu Tianning again.
His shadow appeared in the Wanfa Palace.
Originally Liu Tianning should have set off, but after Zhao Xing reported the matter of the dragon whale, Liu Tianning began to prepare, so he is still in the Wanfa Palace.
"Teacher, Pei Yuanchang really came to see me, and he noticed that I left a hook in the dragon whale's body."
"He proposed cooperation and should contact the teacher immediately."
Liu Tianning said: "He is talking to my other clone. What do you think of the cooperation?"
Zhao Xing thought, "The Pei family made their fortune with the navy, and we are close to each other, in the same sea area. We have connections and strength, so we can save the teacher time in mobilizing. We should cooperate."
Liu Tianning nodded: "Okay, where is your Blood Shadow Flying Boat now?"
Zhao Xing said: "We have passed the north of Yangcheng and have flown over the boundary marker for more than an hour."
"Ensure your own safety. If you encounter danger on the road, you can use the name of King Rahu."
"King Rahu?" Zhao Xing was stunned. Liu Tianning told him the truth, and he knew that his teacher's backer was actually King Rahu.
No wonder Lao Liu was able to rise so high, it turns out that he had the support of this big boss.
"Yes."
The phantom dissipated, Zhao Xing's mind moved, and the clone on the Blood Shadow Flying Boat opened his eyes.
"Senior Brother." Ji Zixuan noticed that Zhao Xing was online.
"Yeah." Zhao Xing walked up to her, "Where are you?"
"We are approaching the [Heavenly Fire Road]." Ji Zixuan pointed ahead, and a cloud of fire appeared in the distant sky.
From time to time, flaming meteorites fell from the clouds, and many burning craters appeared on the ground.
"Let's take a detour."
"Brother." Ji Zixuan offered her own suggestion: "After passing the Sky Fire Road, the days will become shorter and the nights will become longer. If we fly for another six hours, we can reach Songxue Lake directly. We can save more than two hours of flying time."
"Are you sure you can get through?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes!" Ji Zixuan pointed to the map beside her: "I have been looking at the map for more than two hours. I am sure I can pass through the Star Shattering Belt of the Skyfire Path."
Looking at Ji Zixuan's eyes, there is confidence, as well as a desire to perform and to be recognized.
"Okay, then you drive over." Zhao Xing nodded.
Ji Zixuan has a strong learning ability. She has been busy these days since she came to Shiyang Cave. In addition to absorbing spiritual energy, she has been studying, reading military intelligence, and various news.
Her self-reliant and motivated character, yet her willingness to listen to advice, was very much to Zhao Xing's liking, and he admired Ji Zixuan very much.
Mr. Zhao, like Liu Tianning, also has a dislike for stupidity. People who dislike stupidity like smart people, and Ji Zixuan happens to be a smart one.
As soon as Zhao Xing came online, she seized the opportunity to ask for advice.
"If you run into someone on the road, avoid them if you can. If you can't, call me. Don't get involved yourself." Zhao Xing said, "Teacher wants you to reach the Polar Night Sea as soon as possible."
"Yes." Ji Zixuan nodded obediently.
On the side of the Polar Night Sea, due to the commotion caused by the dragon whale, there were completely no fish coming around Wen Huapeng.
The remnants of the Qilin Flying Boat are gone, and no one knows whether they were washed away or swallowed up.
However, as soon as Pei Yuanchang left, he sent someone to deliver a fifth-order Hailan flying boat.
It can be said to be quite thoughtful.
"Fish, we can't fish anymore." Zhao Xing said, "We don't have any fishing rods anymore, so we might as well just catch them."
"There are still quite a few water fairies and fish-eating grasses in the Wenhua tent. I don't know if the dragon whale will have any chance, so I'll eat up the buffs from the small fish and shrimps first."
"Pei Yuanchang sent us a flying boat and a sea chart with the locations of fish schools marked by the fortune teller." Chen Shijie said, "It's convenient for us."
"What about the Jade Sea Cloud Vine?" Ji Ziyun asked, "Should we just leave it here?"
They must move to another place. The water fairy is easy to transplant, but the blue sea cloud vine is not.
This thing has extended more than 3,000 meters, and it is impossible to move it. At least Zhao Xing and his team don't have the ability to do so.
"I planted the Azure Cloud Vine and observed the seabed conditions only as a side job. The main purpose is to build a passage to the seabed." Zhao Xing said, "Let it grow here. When it can take root in the seabed, Lao Chen and I can use it to try to escape under the sea and look for treasures."
"The fish-eating grass can be harvested three times, and it can probably yield two and a half buckets." Chen Shijie said. "The main reason is that there is not enough soil. The fish-eating grass is only half an aquatic species, and it still needs soil."
"That's enough." Zhao Xing nodded. Once the teacher arrived, he would definitely have enough soil and other materials.
Now this is enough to support their own activities.
Of course, it is impossible to trouble Liu Tianning to catch small fish and shrimps. He is a teacher, not a nanny. His apprentice has hands and feet, so he can teach him how to fish, but he cannot give him the fish directly.
Of course, dragon whales are different.
If a dragon whale is caught, he, his beloved disciple, will definitely get a share.
"That's it. We'll find the location according to the sea chart. Brother Xia, Long Xiao, you will be responsible for cutting the ice."
"Brother Ji, you are responsible for setting up the ice well formation. After Lao Chen and I finish planting water angels and fish-eating grass in the Wenhua shed, we will come to your place to make a nest."
“When the fish come up, we will cast a spell to catch them.”
Zhao Xing finalized the next plan. Before Lao Liu came, he still had to do something for Lao Liu to see.
"If I tell my fishing friends about the Polar Night Sea after I go out, I will definitely be laughed at." Ji Ziyun was a little melancholy, "Fishing turned into catching."
Chen Shijie nodded and agreed with it deeply.
As for Long Xiao and Zhao Xing, they didn't have any ideas. As long as they could eat fish, any method would work.
After finalizing the plan, the five people took action separately.
Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie continued to farm in the Wenhua shed. After harvesting three rounds of fish-eating grass, they stopped.
The surrounding soil has all turned into gravel, leaving only a small piece of black soil next to the blue sea cloud vine.
On the fertile soil, the seedlings of water fairy, blue sea cloud vine and fish-eating grass are preserved.
Next, he stopped casting spells for farming and waited for Liu Tianning to arrive.
After harvesting the fish-eating grass, Zhao Xing's original body and Chen Shijie each carried a military bamboo box and went to the location of Xia Jing's three people, leaving behind nine statues of Wanfa grass men to guard the house.
At this point, the three had already cut through the ice, revealing the sea below.
The water fairy in the box was transferred to the water.
"Gulong~"
The water fairy sank to the bottom of the sea.
After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, bubbles began to emerge from the falling place.
Zhao Xing started to make a nest.
Having learned from the previous experience, he no longer dared to act recklessly, for fear of attracting some deep-sea monster.
"Sa~"
The fish-eating grass seeds were poured out by one-fifth and fell from the place where the water fairy sank and dissolved.
"Gulong~"
"Gulong~Gulong~"
Bubbles began to appear in large numbers and the sea water surged.
"Wow~"
A marlin, flashing red light, leaped up.
"Whoosh~"
Before it fell to the ground, a shadow passed by.
The bobcat grabbed the marlin, ran to Zhao Xing and placed it at his feet.
"Meow~" The bobcat pushed with its paw, meaning that the owner should eat first.
"Eat it yourself." Zhao Xing smiled. "You always complain of hunger, but this time I'll let you eat your fill."
"Meow~" Seeing that Zhao Xing didn't want it, the mountain cat picked up the marlin and ran to Long Xiao's feet.
"Hahaha, Aotian is so good." Long Xiao smiled and slashed with his sword finger, cutting the mountain cat into several pieces to make it easier for it to eat. He then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
The warrior's work is done.
The next to perform are mages such as Zhao Xing, Chen Shijie, and Ji Ziyun.
When the effect of the fish eating the grass was almost achieved, the fish swam to the surface of the water.
The three of them then cast a spell to catch the fish.
With the previous experience, fish didn’t fall from the sky this time.
The three of them worked together to control the water and scoop up a layer of sea surface, like digging a cake, along with the water and fish.
Floating above the ice is a Water Cube, with dense schools of fish swimming around in a colorful scene.
wow~
Then the Water Cube slowly fell and was moved to an ice pool nearby.
"Done." Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
This ice pond was dug out by him.
Last time, many fish died before we could eat them, and a lot of energy was wasted.
Now they have built an ice pool, so you can take your time to choose and there is no need to eat in such a hurry.
Ji Ziyun cast a spell, raising ice walls in the ice pond and sorting the fish into different categories.
Because Zhao Xing had let Xia Jing try a lot of them before.
Now it is easy to tell which fish have what effects.
"There are 546 magic fish. Eating them can increase your comprehension of magic and martial arts. However, most of them increase water-based magic and martial arts. There are relatively few of the other attributes."
Zhao Xing and his friends didn't know what these fish were called. After all, there were too many species in the sea and not all of them could be named. They could only classify them according to their effects.
"I ate these five fire fish." Zhao Xing pointed at one of the grooves. "My Heavenly Fire Technique has not yet reached a high level."
Zhao Xing was still thinking about the Yin Yang Twin Demons Array Mountain in the Great Dream Academy. After leaving the Ten Sun Cave Heaven, he planned to go in again and get the benefits of that level.
The fourth level of Tiangong Temple is the Yin-Yang Double Evil Array Mountain, which has four calamities: earth, wind, fire, and thunder. Zhao Xing just lacks the fire magic to pass that level.
"My thunder magic still has a lot of room for improvement." Ji Ziyun pointed to a groove, in which there were five or six fish that flashed with lightning like electric eels. "If no one wants these, I will eat them."
"Aotian, do you want to eat?" Long Xiao looked down at the mountain cat.
Aotian Miao shook his head. Its innate thunder skill had reached a bottleneck.
"Meow~" It pointed with its paw at several large blue carps in the groove next to it.
It wants to eat this.
"I eat some marlin and swordfish," Long Xiao said. "They are metal-based and can improve my Gengjin sword-controlling style."
If there are enough fish, there is no need to think about how to divide them, just take what you need.
Zhao Xing chose four types respectively.
One is five big fire fish, which increase the understanding of [Heavenly Fire].
The second type is fish that contain spiritual energy and luck. There are a total of ten of them. Their main function is to increase the water element of the Five Elements. Each one weighs forty to fifty kilograms.
Thirdly, there are fishes that embody longevity and spiritual beauty. They are crystal clear and seem to be made of glass.
Fourth, there are fish that contain a lot of vital energy. Although the gathering of vital energy has reached the forty-ninth level, taking this kind of spiritual energy still has the effect of strengthening the body.
"I eat!"
Zhao Xing skillfully removed the bones and internal organs, and then began to eat.
At the same time, records appeared on the panel.
[You take Shouyuan Lingxiu, and your life span increases by 1 year. ]
[You take Shouyuan Lingxiu, and your life span increases by 1 year. ]
[You take Fire Element Spirit, your Fire Element perception improves, your Fire Element spell 'Heavenly Fire' breaks through the intermediate level and reaches the high level first level. ] [You take Fire Element Spirit, your Fire Element perception improves, your Fire Element spell 'Heavenly Fire' breaks through the intermediate level and reaches the high level second level. ]
[The middle finger bone of your right hand has transformed from 'Iron Bone' to 'Silver Bone'. 】
[Your right foot pubic bone has transformed from 'iron bone' to 'silver bone'. 】
……
Although Zhao Xing did not practice the "gluttony method", the "Yin Yang Original Self Sutra" also has a technique to speed up absorption and digestion, called the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique.
It's not as efficient as the gluttony method, but it's enough.
"Drink~"
Just when Zhao Xing was concentrating on showing off the fish, Long Xiao's face suddenly turned red, his whole body turned golden, and his body became transparent.
Zhao Xing turned his head and looked over, only to see that Long Xiao's bones began to glow, as if absorbing the golden light from all parts of his body.
"What is he doing?" Ji Ziyun was stunned.
"He is trying to break through." Zhao Xing put down the fish and wiped his mouth, "Condensing the Pure Yuan Sword Body."
"Can it be done?" Ji Ziyun was a little surprised.
"It won't work." Zhao Xing shook his head. "How can it be so fast? The foundation is not solid enough and the accumulation is not enough."
"Drink!!!" Long Xiao shouted loudly, as if he was using all his strength to drink milk.
However, as Zhao Xing said, the accumulation required to go from the Tiangang Realm to the Chunyuan Realm is extremely huge. The vitality required to advance to this level is more than ten times the total of the first to forty-ninth levels.
"Wow~" Long Xiao suddenly vomited uncontrollably, his face flushed, and he supported himself on the ground. The golden light that had been retracted from his bones radiated outward, and his flesh, blood, and meridians became clear again.
"Hahahahahaha~" Xia Jing suddenly burst into laughter, slapping his thigh and pointing at Long Xiao.
"Hahahaha." Chen Shijie, Zhao Xing and Ji Ziyun couldn't help laughing after seeing it.
Because at this time, Long Xiao suffered a sequelae after his failed attempt.
His body expanded and he became a big fat man!
At first glance, it's kind of cute.
"If the vital energy cannot be contained in the golden bones, it will quickly spread into the flesh and blood, nourishing the flesh and blood and causing them to grow wildly." Xia Jing was extremely happy.
“Long Xiao, ah, Long Xiao, although you are a genius swordsman, you are too proud of yourself. Hahahaha, you should change your name to Long Pang now, hahaha!”
Xia Jing mocked Long Xiao mercilessly, but Long Xiao was not worried at first.
But when he saw Chen Shijie, Zhao Xing, and Ji Ziyun were all laughing at him, and even Aotian Miao was rolling on the ground holding his stomach, he immediately lost his defense.
"Come if you dare. Didn't you eat more than 3,000 kilograms? Why don't you come!"
"I'll do it if I want!" Xia Jing sat cross-legged. "Just watch!"
"We are all warriors, why bother?" Ji Ziyun said, covering his mouth.
"Wait a minute..." Zhao Xing held back his laughter and took the Dragon Soul Jade from his neck. "Brother Xia, take this with you to reduce the chance of going astray."
"Zhao Xing, what are you laughing at? I'm getting angry!" The fat on Long Xiao's face was squeezed together.
"No, I got a fish bone in my cheek."
"That's too much. You just kept laughing and didn't stop!"
"I remember happy things."
"What a happy thing."
"This fish has given birth."
"..."
Xia Jing faced the Dragon Soul Jade sent by Zhao Xing and waved his hand, saying, "No need. Fatty Long is useless, so I don't need it either."
"Drink!"
Xia Jing yelled and started to get angry.
I have to say that the warrior's momentum is really fierce. Xia Jing's shout gives people the feeling that a human-shaped ferocious beast is standing in front of them.
The process of his breakthrough was the same as Long Xiao's. He also started from the level of blood, flesh, and meridians to "purify the essence", and then to the bones.
The speed of the two was about the same. When Xia Jing reached the 'Purified Golden Bones', he encountered the same problem as Long Xiao.
"Ahhhhhh!" Xia Jing roared.
But this shackle was not something that could be overcome by just shouting and screaming, and soon he failed to break through.
He suffered the same backlash as Long Xiao.
The vital energy surged into his blood, flesh and meridians, and Xia Jing quickly swelled up into a fat man.
"Hahahahaha~" Long Xiao waved his fat hands and mocked mercilessly.
"Meow meow meow~" The bobcat was so happy that it rolled around on the back of a fish.
These humans are so interesting.
"Humph, you guys are laughing too early." Xia Jing clasped his hands together, golden light flashing, and growled, "Taoist Heaven and Earth!"
As he practiced the gluttony method, his body shape returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just a few breaths, the side effects disappeared and he lost weight again!
"You..." Long Xiao's smile gradually froze.
Damn, I forgot that this kid’s gluttony has reached the seventh level!
So angry!
"At the seventh level of the gluttony method, any side effects are a piece of cake!" Xia Jing said proudly, "Brother Long, you still need to practice more~"
"Just wait!" Long Xiao said angrily, "I'll surpass you sooner or later!"
"Yes, Long Xiao, you are a swordsman, the strongest among warriors!"
"I've been unhappy with Xia Jing for a long time. Do you think the Tao Shi method and the Black Tortoise Shield are invincible? Can they block the Shen Xiao sword energy?"
"Fight, fight!"
Two warriors were competing with each other, while three wizards and a cat were sitting nearby, eating fish and fanning the fire.
It's just fun to watch the fun.
If you have any courtesy here, you will have to call him an expert.
In the end, Pei Yuanchang's men came over, so Xia Jing and Long Xiao didn't have to fight.
"Greetings, Marquis Yuan Rang!" Pei Yuanchang sent a sixth-rank warrior who was quite polite to Zhao Xing.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xing bowed in return.
"Young Master's exploration team discovered an unnamed fish three hundred miles southwest. After catching three, they asked me to send one here and asked if Marquis Yuan Rang was interested in going there." The sixth-rank warrior handed over a box wrapped in cloth.
"Oh?" Zhao Xing opened the outer packaging to reveal the crystal box inside, and then his eyes lit up. "Yin Yang fish?"
I saw a palm-sized fish swimming in the crystal box. It looked like a crucian carp, but its upper half was white and its lower half was black.
As it swam, the water in the crystal box became distinct, appearing black and white.
As the fish's mouth opened and closed, the fish actually produced a phantom, transforming into two fish, one pure black and one pure white!
"Please reply to Brother Pei and tell him that I will leave immediately!" Zhao Xing said.
"Yes." The warrior bowed, then jumped onto the flying boat to report.
After the visitor left, the other four people gathered around and asked, "What good thing is this?"
"I named it Yin Yang Fish, but the name is not important." Zhao Xing said excitedly: "The point is, eating it can improve your life soul!"
"What?" Ji Ziyun was shocked. "There are actually fish like this?"
"The world is so big, there really is nothing strange." Chen Shijie sighed.
Among the three souls and seven spirits, the heavenly and earthly souls are outside, and the life soul resides in the fetus.
The soul is the foundation of a person, but the Great Zhou has no method to cultivate the soul, and treasures are also very rare.
The evil Taoists in the outside world do have methods to cultivate the soul, but they are all evil methods and come with great costs.
Normally, one must reach the third level before one can cultivate the life soul at no cost.
Now, in the Midnight Sea, there are actually fish that can increase the power of the soul?
"This is a great discovery!" Xia Jing said, "It seems that Pei Yuanchang has reached a cooperation with your teacher, otherwise he would not tell you about this and send you a fish."
"Of course there is no such thing as a free lunch." Zhao Xing took out a sea map from his arms. "Three hundred nautical miles southwest, this is a new area that has been opened up, and it is already far away from Night Fort. If my guess is correct, Pei Yuanchang's forces must have collided with the forces on both sides."
As the seven major exploration groups continue to expand and attract more people, there will inevitably be friction.
But now that I have cooperated with Pei Yuanchang, I have to go. Gains are fought for, they don't come easily.
"The life soul is difficult to cultivate. One must reach a high level to obtain the visualization method and cultivate the life soul. If it is at the middle level, the life soul can be improved, and the benefits are endless." Ji Ziyun said.
Zhao Xing knew it without Ji Ziyun's explanation. After taking the Soul Pill, his third eye was opened and his Sleepy Bug Technique was advanced to a high level. His soul became stronger, and his control over his body and vitality also became stronger, and his spells became more powerful.
Although he has now reached the 49th level of Ju Yuan and perfected the Tian Gang realm, his soul has only just reached the middle stage of the sixth level.
"Pack your things and get on the boat!" Zhao Xing said, "Let's go find another place to fish!"
"Good Le!"
The fish in the ice pond were loaded into the Hailan flying boat, which was a medium-sized flying boat of the navy. Although its quality was the same, it was much larger than the Qilin flying boat.
The Qilin Flying Boat is mostly of a glorious nature, but some of its unique craftsmanship demonstrates the royal power.
If you really want to operate at sea, it would be more convenient to use naval vessels.
"Old Chen, the Wenhua shed will still be preserved, and this mature Bihaiyun vine will stay here for now. I can use my Wanfa Grass Man clone to watch over it."
"We will put the rest of the seedlings into asparagus boxes and take them away," said Zhao Xing.
If there is something better, of course go to a better place.
You can step back a little when exploring the seabed.
Because the location of Pei Yuanchang's main ship was not in the same direction as the place where the Yin-Yang fish appeared.
Zhao Xing set out directly by boat and communicated with Pei Yuanchang through a ground mirror on the boat.
"Brother Pei, what's the current situation at the location where the Yin-Yang fish appeared?"
Pei Yuanchang pointed to the sea chart and said, "The location of the Yin-Yang fish is near the Ice and Fire Island to the west. In addition to you and me, there are three other forces that have discovered the Yin-Yang fish."
"There are Liang Wang's nineteenth son Ji Ye and thirteenth son Ji Chen, two 'prince exploration groups', and a joint exploration group led by Xing Ming, which consists of many descendants of Wu Hou and direct descendants of aristocratic families."
Pei Yuanchang pointed at a corner of the map and said, "Ji Chen, the thirteenth son of the King of Liang, is still abiding by the rules. He is only exploring the northwest of Ice and Fire Island. He originally occupied the northwest."
"But Ji Ye and the people from the Joint Exploration Team are not so disciplined and often cross the line."
Zhao Xing nodded. The seven exploration teams had divided the locations before. Now that they had expanded the scope and discovered new addresses, they could also occupy the areas according to the previously agreed locations, which would reduce conflicts.
However, no matter what is reasonable, when it comes to interests, no one can guarantee that they will not be tempted to cross the line.
As long as the imperial court does not issue an order, the struggle between the powerful and the aristocratic families will ultimately be a matter of whoever has the bigger fist and the stronger reason.
Emperor Jingdi was sitting on the Diaoyutai, and only when he felt that the fight was almost over did he order intervention.
This kind of solution is not unique to Emperor Jing, it has always been a tradition in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This kind of trend existed during the Taizu period, when people would start fighting in groups like hooligans. Later, when the country was founded, it evolved into a more formal way of doing things, such as large-scale military exercises by military corps.
Even Emperor Wen held it several times.
After Emperor Wu, the control of the Zhou royal family weakened, and it gradually turned into the [Alliance of Princes].
Pei Yuanchang's idea of asking Zhao Xing to come over was very simple.
As the grandson of King Lingshuang, he is under a lot of pressure and urgently needs a partner like Liu Tianning to share some of the pressure.
As long as Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning's direct disciple, goes there, he will send out a signal: I, Pei Yuanchang, have already cooperated with the big boss. We are no longer the weakest force as before. You should think twice before making any trouble.
"Don't worry, Brother Pei, I'm on my way." Zhao Xing knew that it was time for him to raise the flag and shout.
"Brother Zhao, please be careful. I will arrange for someone to follow you when you arrive." Pei Yuanchang said.
…………
After flying three hundred miles westward, we saw a deserted island appearing in the glacier.
A volcano suddenly appeared in the midst of ice and snow, which really attracted people's attention.
However, the volcano did not erupt, only emitting a faint black smoke.
hum~
Suddenly, a message came from the ground mirror.
Zhao Xing opened it and saw that it was sent by Liu Tianning.
[The Wanfa Tower Ship has reached the extreme night sea]
Has Lao Liu arrived?
Zhao Xing immediately became confident: "He even brought the Wanfa Tower ship here!"
While flying, I was about to reply to Lao Liu.
Sudden--
"Stop, who is it?"
Before they got close to the designated location, a silver shuttle flying boat suddenly appeared.
It carries the banner of "Marquis Wucheng".
Zhao Xing knew at a glance that this was the force of the 'Joint Exploration Team'.
"The road ahead has been blocked. No one is allowed to approach!"
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
The flying boat fired several fire crossbows, but they all missed on purpose and did not directly hit the barrier of the Hailan flying boat.
This was just a warning attack.
Signaled Zhao Xing and others not to get close.
"Who are you and how dare you block this place?!" Zhao Xingqi transmitted his voice directly to the silver shuttle flying boat in front.
Soon a fat young man came out to talk: "My father, Marquis Wucheng, didn't you see such a big flag?!"
"I am Xiao Baoyu, the son of Marquis Wucheng." The young man in fancy clothes said, "This place has been blocked by the joint exploration team. There are twenty or thirty fifth-rank warriors on my ship. You should go back to where you came from!"
Twenty or thirty fifth-rank officials? Zhao Xing knew at a glance that this idiot prince was just bragging.
He used the Divine Eye Technique to observe Xiao Baoyu. He was only a seventh-grade cultivator, and his realm was superficial, as if he had just been promoted not long ago.
Marquis Wucheng has a small reputation, but it is not enough to send out twenty or thirty fifth-rank officials... How can he be so arrogant?
"Can Marquis Wucheng suppress all the heroes in the world? Don't you even ask about my origins?" Zhao Xing said.
"Humph!" Xiao Baoyu snorted, "Then tell me who you are!"
"Master Liu Tianning!!!"
There is another 8K one, but as usual, it will be released later, so don’t wait.
