Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth heavy force
"Your Excellency, this is Senior Brother Mu Shi. Nice to meet you." At this moment, a young man with a green tattoo on his face came over and greeted Shi Mu.
"Who are you?" Shi Mu glanced at this person and asked.
"Haha, my surname is Yu, and my name only means one word. Yesterday I saw Brother Mu Shi show off his prowess in the competition and his profound knowledge of fire-attribute spells. It was really eye-opening." The tattooed young man said with a smile.
"Brother Yu, thank you." Shi Mu said, his voice slightly cold.
The tattooed young man seemed to sense that Shi Mu didn't want to talk, but he didn't show any displeasure at all. He laughed and was about to say something else.
At this moment, the special envoy in gray dressed by Hussere, accompanied by several local deacons, came from somewhere. Seeing this, more than 500 winners hurriedly came forward to greet them and formed a circle.
After walking around for a while, the conversation stopped.
"Everyone, the preliminary round has ended. You have been able to break through. You are worthy of being the elite of our teaching. I would like to congratulate you all in advance!" Hussere stood in front of everyone, cleared his throat, and said.
"Thanks for your care, Special Envoy Li!"
"Thank you, Special Envoy Li!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present bowed their hands and saluted him.
"However, you must also guard against arrogance and impetuosity. The next big competition in Quyang City is the most important thing. I hope you can continue to move forward bravely, ride the wind and waves, be loyal to the Lord of Hades, and work for our religion! Now I declare that it is enough.
Let’s set off and aim for Quyang City!” Seeing this, Husseile showed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, waved his hands in all directions, stopped everyone’s subsequent words, and announced loudly.
After these few days of adapting, Husserey has become more and more comfortable with his current identity. He already has a somewhat arrogant demeanor in his every move.
"Yes!" More than 500 people agreed in unison. Their morale was greatly boosted.
Husserey nodded with satisfaction, and a deacon beside him stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"Special envoy, do you need to send one or two people from different altars to help you bring these people to Quyang City?"
"No, I am enough on my own." Husserey shook his head and refused.
The man originally wanted to flatter the envoy, but was rejected so simply that he couldn't help but retreat with an angry look on his face.
"Then I wish the special envoy a smooth journey." The short and fat deacon took a step forward and said with cupped hands.
"Let's go." Husserey nodded to a few people, waved his hand, stepped on a tall horse, and headed towards the city gate first.
More than five hundred people all mounted their mounts and followed.
From here to Quyang City, if you walk, it will take at least two or three months. Horseback riding is faster and you can reach it in just one month.
Five hundred riders gathered into a torrent and roared out of the city gate.
The people nearby looked at these people with envy and talked a lot. They were all talking about the expedition to the Saihe Continent.
Among the crowd, two inconspicuous men in gray robes looked at each other, then walked toward the back of the crowd and disappeared.
…
The main altar of Ming Yue Sect. In the ceremonial hall of Ming Yue Sect.
This time, except for the main seat and the first seat on the left, which were still empty, the seats of the other ten hall masters were almost full. Only one hall master seemed to have not arrived.
"We are summoned this time because the situation at the border has changed. The situation is urgent, so I won't say anything more. Master Kong, you have just returned from the border. Next, it is up to you to tell everyone about the situation." Sit down.
The white-haired old man on the right side of the main seat looked at a middle-aged Confucian scholar on the right and said.
"Everyone, according to the latest information obtained, the Tongtian Immortal Sect has deployed a large number of troops in the Wei Kingdom in the two provinces of Donglin and Linhai. At the same time, many Heavenly Demon Sects have also appeared in the Chen Kingdom, which is close to the Heihe Province in the north.
Regarding the traces of disciples, it is said that even some small and medium-sized sects in the two countries have a lot of abnormal behaviors." The middle-aged Confucian scholar stood up and said with a frown.
As soon as this statement came out, except for the white-haired old man who already knew it, the expressions of everyone else present at the meeting changed.
"Judging from the current situation, Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect have already deployed troops on our border. They should have reached some kind of consensus and have even reunited. I am afraid that the two are about to send troops." Opposite the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
The middle-aged man with a broad mouth said.
"With our current situation, if we are attacked from both sides, we will not be able to hold on. I'm afraid if the war breaks out, they will be at our main altar in just two months." A young woman-looking palace master said with a slight frown.
"We will definitely not be able to hold on to it. Since Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect are pressing heavily on the territory, their interior will inevitably be empty. We might as well send more elite disciples to sneak into the big cities of Lushan Dynasty and Great Qin Kingdom from the central part, like Palace Master Liu,
If he makes trouble again, the world will be turned upside down! The rest of the congregation stayed behind at the main altar and activated the protective formation to defend. I want to see who can't hold on first!" The red-browed man on the other side snorted coldly.
"Di Feng, you are completely arrogant! If Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect really join forces to attack the main altar, and a large number of our elite disciples are not here, how long can the protective formation sustain? Besides, what plan can you think of?
, wouldn’t the other party have thought of it? Don’t forget, the incident in Tianyu City happened only a short time ago, and they must have taken strict precautions in the country, so they don’t end up with nothing when the time comes.” The curly-haired young man sneered and said.
"Huo Qing, what do you think we should do, negotiate peace or surrender?" Di Feng glanced at him and said sarcastically.
"Of course, activate the protective formation, and then concentrate all your efforts to defend the main altar and fight to the death with these people! Protector Zuo has been forcing the guān for so many years. He may have advanced to heaven. By then, let them steal the chicken.
It’s a waste of rice!” said the curly-haired young man Huo Qing.
"What if Protector Zuo fails to advance to the heavenly realm, shall we just wait here to die?" Di Feng said.
"Waiting to die is better than your method of dying." Huo Qing sneered.
"cough!"
Just when Di Feng and Huo Qing were arguing fiercely, Liu An stood up with a slight cough, attracting everyone's attention.
"Master Liu, do you have any good ideas?" the white-haired old man asked.
"Right Protector, Lords of the Palace, the spiritual veins of the Lushan Dynasty and the Great Qin Kingdom have long been on the verge of drying up. The two sects have been coveting the spiritual veins of our Xixia Kingdom for many years, but in the name of eradicating heresy, they have joined forces to invade our Mingyue Sect, so that the Eastern leader protects the religion.
The death has filled our disciples with righteous indignation. Both Hall Master Huo and Hall Master Di are doing this for the sake of our religion, but at this moment when the enemy is facing a formidable enemy, we must not mess up our position, as this will only give others an advantage." Liu An said goodbye.
He glanced at Di Feng and Huo Qing and said this.
After these words, the eyes of several palace masters, including Di Feng and Huo Qing, were filled with hatred and revenge, but none of them spoke. The palace was surprisingly quiet.
"The two sects have been keeping a low profile for hundreds of years, and now they want to join forces to invade our territory again. I'm afraid the attackers will be evil. None of us are afraid of death, but after all, we have many enemies and we are few. If we rush to fight, life and death will be a small matter. If it leads to my death,
If the Yuedong Sect falls apart, then you will be ashamed of the leader of the Eastern Church, and even more ashamed of the Lord of the Underworld." Liu An paused and continued.
"Please tell me clearly what should be done according to the wishes of Palace Master Liu!" Huo Qing asked.
"In my opinion, all the hall masters should immediately give orders and notify their respective disciples to pay close attention to the movements of the two sects. Once the other party invades, they should harass and delay at all costs. In addition, some disciples should be left with the power of the protective formation.
Lee defended the main altar. The rest, along with the elite disciples of the sect, crossed the sea and evacuated to Xihe Continent." Liu An's eyes swept over everyone present and said calmly.
"Wouldn't that mean that a large number of disciples would be sacrificed?" the young woman asked.
"If you want to escape unscathed this time, I'm afraid it's impossible. Abandonment and sacrifice are inevitable, but if the sacrifice can bring a glimmer of hope for the future, the sacrifice is worth it." Liugan said.
"Dianzhu Liu is right. With the West Sea separating us, the two sects won't be able to do anything to us for a while. Although the Xihe Continent is dangerous, it is rich in resources. As long as we manage it well, we may not be able to regain our strength and counterattack the Dongzhou Continent.
Opportunity." A black-faced man nodded in agreement.
"Master Liu, although your strategy is feasible, our religion only has five giant ships in the vast sea. Calculated as a ship with 200 people, it can only carry a thousand people. If only a thousand people cross the sea, excluding the damage on the way, even if they reach Xihe
What can the mainland do?" Huo Qing said.
Others in the palace also looked at Liu An, and the number of ships was indeed a big problem.
After all, the Western Ocean stretches for thousands of miles, and there are unpredictable sea monsters and waves on the way. It is impossible for ordinary ships to safely cross it. Only the five spiritual weapon-level vast sea boats in the sect can reach the Saihe Continent.
"Palace Master Huo doesn't have to worry about this. I have my own way of ferrying people to ensure that it can accommodate five thousand people." Liu An said with a slight smile.
"This is a major matter that affects the life and death of our religion. How can I listen to your words unless you can issue a military order?" Huo Qing said.
Di Feng was furious when he saw this, and just when he was about to speak, Liu An's voice rang out:
"Okay, it's a deal! Right Protector and all the palace masters are here. If I, Liu An, can't get the ferry together within two months, I will be punished for apostasy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled, and looked at Liu An with vaguely different eyes.
"Even if the problem of the ship is solved, time is running out now, and the elite disciples of the sect are usually scattered everywhere. How do you select and gather them in such a short time?" the young woman asked again.
"I have already thought about this matter. Aren't we going to organize the overseas primary selection in each branch now? We can do this..." Liu An smiled slightly and expressed his plan.
Everyone in the hall nodded after hearing this, but no one objected this time, including Huo Qing.
"Palace Master Liu, since this matter was brought up by you, you are fully responsible for it, and the resources within the sect are at your disposal. However, there are many sea beasts in the depths of the Western Sea, and the Sea Tribe is very hostile to our Mingyue Sect, so we must pay attention to this."
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the white-haired old man spoke.
"Liu An understands." Liu An solemnly saluted the white-haired old man and said. (To be continued.)
