On the sea, there are boundless blue waves. A slender, 10,000-ton steel battleship is flying at lightning speed, and it is driven by the magic to reach a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.
But the people on the battleship were stunned and confused.
They are the remaining members of the Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect.
The seriously injured Headmaster Xue Hong sat cross-legged in the room, adjusting his breath quietly. His chest had been stained red with blood, and more than a dozen penetrating wounds could be faintly seen.
Such wounds would have been dead long ago on ordinary people. But Xuehong persisted. However, the pain would not be reduced, and the pain would even be amplified due to the sharp senses of the practitioners.
Cultivation is never just about benefits. If you want to get it, you have to pay, and it is not equivalent. This payment can be time, knowledge, wisdom, money, morality, sweat, family affection, humanity, and everything else!
Next to him, Xue Qingzhu stared blankly at his father, protecting him silently. Next to him, his mother Chu Fanglan, with a face as white as paper, meditated silently.
Outside the room, on the deck, Xue Linger, as her sister, calmly directed the battleship to change direction.
Xue Linger's face was pale, but she was very calm at this time. She held a magic compass in her hand, which was about the size of a palm. It had a compass function and a star-pulling spell. There was a steel seal on the edge: Supervised by Dayang Group.
Xue Linger used the compass to command the only warship to sail to the east.
There was silence on the battleship, but the survivors accepted Xue Linger's command.
Xue Ling'er commanded for a moment, then turned to look at an elder who was also pale and said, "Elder Bi, please go back and rest. It's windy outside."
The pale elder smiled faintly, "It's okay, I've almost recovered."
Xue Ling'er no longer tried to persuade, but said calmly: "I plan to sail to the east first, and use the speed of the Blue Wolf to completely get rid of possible pursuit and search. Then we will go directly north from the Coral Sea in the east."
"Going to Jiuyoumen?" Elder Bi asked.
"No!" Xue Linger's eyes were firm and bright at this time, "Nine Nether Sect cannot stop the Demon Sect. There is only one place we should go to now... Dayang Group, or Qixia Country!
However, sailing to the west will inevitably encounter the fleets of the Heavenly Demon Sect and Wusheng Tianluo Sect, so we sail eastward and circle from the east to the Ocean Group.
Calculated based on our position, such a voyage would only increase less than 3,000 kilometers."
Elder Bi nodded slowly, but then asked: "What are your thoughts about the future?"
Xue Linger thought for a while, shook her head slightly, and suddenly felt confused in her eyes: "Not sure yet. I have a few ideas for the time being, but they are not very clear.
Perhaps, enough price will be paid to invite Dayang Group or Qixia Country to intervene, if possible.
Maybe I will try to join Dayang Group, or with the help of Dayang Group, set up a trading firm, etc., and then develop it into a large group. Then plan for the future.
Maybe I will return secretly to look for opportunities."
Elder Bi nodded, and then sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be a traitor among us!"
Xue Linger didn't speak, but the battle scene at that time appeared in her mind.
The masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly arrived. At the critical moment, the defensive array of the Blazing Snow Mountain Sect could not be activated. After it was repaired, it was already half an hour later. During this period, the Blazing Snow Mountain Sect encountered a violent attack.
But after the formation was activated, the ground exploded. It turned out that in that half hour, the masters of the Demon Sect had buried explosives under the mountain. A crazy explosion directly destroyed a large number of affiliated peaks around the Blazing Snow Mountain Sect.
Leading to the complete collapse of the formation.
Since then, the Demon Sect has repeatedly used similar methods. The sky is fighting, the earth is exploding, and the mountain peaks are collapsing piece by piece under the influence of countless explosives.
In the end, the snow-capped mountains that had stood tall in the tropics for countless years collapsed. And all the formations, traps, etc. that had been built on the snow-capped mountains were wiped out.
A new era, a crazier war!
But the most important thing is that the reason why Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect collapsed so quickly is because of traitors! No, it can no longer be called traitors, it should be called betrayal, because there are too many!
More than 20% of the senior staff accepted the "bewitchment and bribery" of the Demon Sect and betrayed them at the critical moment.
Almost all the wounds on my father's body came from traitors!
Xue Linger grabbed the railing and looked quietly at the slowly undulating sea in front of her, and at the waves shattered by the bow of the ship. However, the strong wind and waves were blocked by the battleship's defensive barrier.
Xue Linger's veins appeared on her hands, but the railings on the battleship were made of steel and she couldn't squeeze them at all.
After a while, Xue Ling'er took a few deep breaths to calm down her anger and sadness, and looked at the rolling white clouds in the sky. At this moment, Xue Ling'er suddenly felt such words in her heart:
grown up!
Pain makes people grow!
Her hands slowly closed in front of her chest, which seemed to be the seal of cultivation, but it did not inspire anything. She just used this to calm her heart: Xue Ling'er, the future of the Blazing Snow Mountain Sect is up to you!
The battleship advanced rapidly. The technology from Dayang Group, this battleship sold for up to 200 million yuan, and with later modifications and other modifications, it cost more than 220 million high-grade spiritual stones. At this time, it carried the last hope of the Blazing Snow Mountain Sect.
After a while, Xue Ling'er stroked the railing and said with some emotion: "This 220 million should be considered worth the money. It's just... I should have bought one more boat."
Then Xue Linger's mind recalled the situation at the previous port. A large number of people poured into the warships, but the ordinary steel warships quickly sank under the attack of the transformation stage. Only the Qinglang-class warships were driven into the sea water.
There was no damage at all.
…………
When the surviving members of the Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect began to look for new hope, at Changshan Port of the Ocean Group, the first detachment of the Atlantic Fleet of the Ocean Group had made comprehensive preparations.
The second expedition to Fairy Mountain has officially begun.
The leader of the first detachment of the Atlantic Fleet is Zhao Yuhang. He had previously gone to the East to open up routes and establish a base. Now that he wanted to explore the second fairy mountain, Zhang Hao mobilized Zhao Yuhang again.
But compared with the last time, the size of the first team has been much larger.
Previously there were 1 Arctic Ocean-class ship, 16 Zhenyuan-class ships, 12 Iron Duke-class ships, and 6 Qinglang-class ships;
Now there are 3 Arctic-class ships, 16 Zhenyuan-class ships, and 20 Qinglang-class ships; the Iron Duke class has been directly eliminated, and new warships have been upgraded and renovated.
On the shore, there are more than 1,200 people in the transformation stage. These subjects in the transformation stage were brought back from the brink of death by Zhou Xueyao, about 480 of them.
Most of these people were in the true divine transformation stage; now, although their Yuanying and Yuanshen have disappeared, their bodies are stronger than ever. Because all their previous practice has been integrated into their flesh and blood, these guys can be called humanoid monsters.
Their cultivation level is gone, but their sensitive senses, experience, etc. are still there. The most important thing is that there will be at least two months of sailing on the road to Fanghu Mountain. This time is enough for their true energy, soul, etc. to return to their original state.
Infant level.
In addition, as true gods in the transformation stage, they always have many disciples and grandchildren around them, and many of these disciples and grandchildren have passed the god transformation technology and entered the god transformation stage, and now many of them have followed.
Various holy places are fighting, but now these people are cooperating! This is a miracle created by Dayang Group, especially Zhou Xueyao.
There are also people from Dayang Group, people from Qixia Country, and some people in the Transformation Stage who still have hopes for the Immortal Mountain.
Compared to the last time we explored Xuanwu Mountain, when the number of people in the Transformation Stage was as high as 5,000 at its peak, it is a bit miserable now. But it is also understandable that since we didn’t get anything last time and there were so many dangers, naturally no one will come back this time.
.
What's more, now that the war has broken out in full force, some people want to fish in troubled waters, some want to make a fortune, and of course, some people need to protect their homes and the country.
It is also true that for this fleet, only Dayang Group provided warships. Even the Kingdom of Qixia did not mobilize its own fleet, but was always ready for war.
Zhang Hao watched the fleet leave and returned to Dayang Group. There were still too many things to deal with. As the war broke out, Dayang Group also had to make adjustments. Especially the issue of arms sales, you need to be careful!
After working hard until the evening, Zhang Hao rubbed his brows and leaned on the chair and gradually fell asleep. During this period of time, he was very busy and had to find time to practice. Although Zhang Hao is already a master of spiritual transformation,
It's not made of iron either.
By the way, even iron will rust.
Hazy, some kind of vigilance suddenly flashed in Zhang Hao's heart. He suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up. He wanted to mobilize his true energy, soul, magic weapon, etc.
But in the next moment, Zhang Hao's heart suddenly sank. He couldn't feel the true essence or soul.
He suddenly raised his head and looked around, only to see that he was no longer in the office, but floating on white clouds.
But under the white clouds, there is no land or sea, but darkness; there is no blue sky or starry sky above the head, it is also pitch black. There are white clouds floating around, and only the space less than a hundred meters around is the 'blue sky'.
Zhang Hao calmed down quickly. Was he dreaming? Or...a curse?
During this period, Zhang Hao also gradually came into contact with some strange cultivation methods, most of which came from outside the Fertile Continent.
Zhang Hao looked around calmly and gradually realized that he was not dreaming, or that he was not 'actively dreaming'.
After practicing, there are very few dreams, and it is difficult for people to recognize themselves in dreams, and there are fewer strong emotions of fear. Once the mood swings are serious, they will leave the dream. But it is different here. Zhang Hao clearly realizes that
He has strong senses, but he still cannot escape from the dream!
Someone is attacking!
A sudden realization flashed through Zhang Hao's mind.
Zhang Hao thought about assassination, etc., but Zhang Hao really didn't expect such a method. So, how to fight back? How to notify others?
Zhang Hao gradually became anxious. Although he was very calm, anyone who encounters this situation would become anxious. And the longer it goes on, the worse it gets.
While Zhang Hao was anxious, the space in front of him suddenly wrinkled, and a door slowly appeared.
At first, there were fluctuations like water ripples, and then the water ripples emerged, deformed, and gradually turned white, and then formed a gate one foot high made of white clouds.
The door slowly opened, and a figure walked slowly over.
Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed and he looked at the other person warily.
The other party was wearing a simple gown, a bun, etc., and looked featureless. His face was also very ordinary. But for some reason, Zhang Hao felt this way in his mind:
ancient!
There's nothing wrong with the appearance, but there's a rigid aura about this person. It seems to be the traces left by time.
The man slowly crossed the door and stood at the door with a stiff smile on his lips.
Is this an attempt to express friendliness?
But such a smile has the feeling of a corpse smile, which makes people feel a little strange from the bottom of their hearts. A cold breath jumps from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and another one goes straight to the sky.
But when he saw someone, Zhang Hao calmed down:
The other party did not attack directly, but seemed to want to smile, which shows that there is room for negotiation!
It's good to have room for negotiation.
Zhang Hao didn't speak, just looked at each other quietly.
The other party twitched the corner of his mouth for a while, and finally gave a smile that wasn't too stiff. A hoarse, almost emotionless voice came, "I'm sorry, I haven't communicated with others for a long time. I'm sorry for meeting you in this way.
Let me introduce myself, the 12 guardian families, the Youlong family, Xiaoshan. How are you cultivating... you have surpassed the peak of god transformation, but you have not been able to completely cross over to the next level."
Zhang Hao was confused. What do you mean? Introduce yourself? It doesn't sound like a hijacking or assassination. Zhang Hao slowly asked in a tentative tone: "Then... I don't know, senior..."
Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, Xiao Shan continued: "I know this way is a bit scary, but I just want to say hello, and also want to see if you... ahem, in short, just say hello.
I have already set off from Kunlun Continent, and I expect to arrive in about three days. We will discuss what we want to talk about during this meeting.
I hope I didn’t disturb your rest. I also hope that the meeting in three days will not cause trouble to Dayang Group.”
"What do you want to communicate about, senior?"
A serious expression appeared on Xiao Shan's face: "Starry Sky!"
After the words fell, Xiao Shan's figure slowly disappeared, and the door slowly disappeared. Then the dream suddenly became hazy, and Zhang Hao felt that he was descending rapidly.
"Ah..." Zhang Hao groaned and started doing it suddenly.
The bright lights all around came into Zhang Hao's field of vision, the spacious office, and the bright moon outside the window, as well as the vague noise and wind outside the window, filled Zhang Hao's senses again.
The door was suddenly knocked open, and Liu Mei and Huang Wentian appeared in front of Zhang Hao, looking wary.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Someone just entered my dream."
Liu Mei and Huang Wentian's expressions suddenly changed. They are now at the peak of divine transformation. How could someone invade Zhang Hao's dream without knowing it?
So, what kind of method is this?
Zhang Hao continued to say slowly: "The other party said, let's say hello first. He will come to Dayang Group in person in three days. It seems... there is no malice."
After a pause, Zhang Hao looked at Liu Mei, "Senior Liu, I remember you are from the Kunlun Continent. Have you ever heard of names such as the 12 Guardian Clan and the Youlong Clan?"
Liu Mei frowned slightly, "I've never heard of this. But there are legends that there are ancient, hidden families in Kunlun Continent. These families can even be traced back to the legendary era!"
