Xianyue Island is the largest island in the offshore archipelago and the easternmost island in the offshore archipelago.
The whole shape is crescent-shaped, with the convex side facing the sea and the concave side facing the offshore islands.
Viewed from a very high place, it looks like it is stretching out its arms to embrace the islands.
Therefore, Xianyue Island also has a name, which means "Embrace". The embrace of embrace is also the embrace of nostalgia.
Be it Huai Island or Xianyue Island, the prestigious Diaohai Tower and Zong Tower are located here.
"The bright moon rises from the sea, and you can see the horizon from here."
This is the inscription on the cliff of Tianya Terrace, hence the name Tianya Terrace.
Legend has it that the founder of the Diaohailou sect once fished for dragons with one person and one pole on Tianya Platform, the highest point on the island!
This is also the origin of the name Diaohailou.
Of course, for many people, this is just a legend. It is very common to pay tribute to one's ancestors. Even if it is exaggerated, it is not unacceptable.
However, the reason why the founder of the Diaohailou sect is not recognized as history is because the Dragon Clan has become extinct in the world since the end of the Middle Ages. Naturally, there are also forces inherited from the Middle Ages, but Diaohailou is not included.
It is not unusual for a strong man from Diao Hailou to force the strong men of Qi State to retreat with just one word. Diao Hailou's tough attitude towards the offshore islands is also an important reason for Qi State's slow progress here.
But it's certainly disturbing.
Qi State has been planning to plan the offshore islands for a long time. Although it was once resisted by all the sect forces in the offshore islands, it had to announce its withdrawal.
However, after many years of business operations, people have to admit that Qi's operations in the offshore islands have ranked first among all, through maritime trade, with major aristocratic families as the forerunners, and using gentler means to return to the offshore islands.
The top three in power.
Some of the top famous families in Qi, like the Osawada family, have been operating offshore islands a long time ago. Chongxuan Minghe, the fourth son of the current head of the Chongxuan family, even personally manages the offshore islands. Not long ago, the Tian family and the Chongxuan family
A deal was also reached to transfer the rights to develop Chongjia Island for ten years...
In short, Qi's influence on the offshore archipelago cannot be ignored. Of course, Diaohailou's leadership position is also deeply rooted.
The confrontation between Qi State and Diaohailou is undoubtedly confusing.
As the elder of Diaohailou Zonglou, Hai Zongming has no worries about this.
Diaohailou and the Qi State have had secret confrontations countless times, but they are rarely exposed in the open. In the seemingly calm sea, the undercurrents on the bottom of the sea have never stopped. To this day, Diaohailou is still firmly entrenched.
Firmly holding the position of the number one force in the offshore archipelago undoubtedly illustrates the result.
It is true that the Qi State is extremely powerful. Looking at the entire world, there are few forces that can match it. But the Eastern Region is its fundamental place. The Qi State will never be able to fully manage the offshore islands. Unless one day, it is overthrown in the Eastern Region.
They have to turn to offshore islands, or completely integrate the Eastern Region.
And at sea, who would Diaohailou be afraid of?
Diaohailou has the confidence to face everything on the sea. This has been verified by history and will continue in the future.
There was something else worrying him at the moment.
Recently, he found an ancient book after a lot of hard work. After studying for a long time, he deciphered some hidden clues in the ancient book and verified it with his previous gains, so he discovered a new piece of information.
"In that abandoned seaside building, the core treasure is a mirror? A red makeup mirror? No mirror was found when the treasure was retrieved. Was it taken away by someone in advance? But some of the prohibitions have clearly not been destroyed, indicating that no one has broken in before.
That’s it.”
"wrong!"
When he thought about it, he immediately thought of the answer.
"Damn it! I was fooled by that little brat Hu Shaomeng!"
He stood up angrily: "I will crush him to ashes!"
But Hu Shaomeng was already dead, and the body was not brought back. He had to go to Yang State to collect the ashes. It was already the territory of Qi State, so it was even more inconvenient.
Haizongming calmed himself down.
First of all, he knew about Hu Shaomeng's death. This guy played with the feelings of his fellow seniors and even tried to harm her, especially Zhu Suyao, who was quite promising in the sect.
A good cultivation seed was destroyed by him, and finally lost in the secret realm of Tianfu.
It was okay to do it secretly, but it happened to be discovered by my sister.
This matter cannot be tolerated by sect rules. Even as an elder, Haizongming cannot show favoritism. Moreover, when the news came back, Hu Shaomeng had already been killed, so there was no need to show favoritism.
Zhu Suyao's master, that old godly woman is not someone to be trifled with.
So he remained silent on the news of Hu Shaomeng's death.
But now that I know the existence of the red makeup mirror, some things need to be recalculated...
The core question is, who owns the red makeup mirror now?
It is possible that Zhu Suyao is still alive, but her sister who has always been protected under her wings has no chance of being Hu Shaomeng's opponent.
Haizongming is still clear about the strength of his disciples.
So did that old godly woman help? She secretly sent experts there, or even took action herself?
This matter needs long-term consideration...
Hu Shaomeng has been dead for a while, but he had no reaction before. In other words, the person who took away the red makeup mirror did not know that he, Haizongming, knew about the existence of the red makeup mirror.
So now he's in the shadows, which is a huge advantage.
A treasure like the red makeup mirror cannot be studied and understood in two or three days. Therefore, there is still time. And it will not help to rush now.
After Zhu Biqiong came back, she only stated Hu Shaomeng's crime, but did not say how she killed Hu Shaomeng. Even if she wanted to talk about the detailed process, she would only tell her master.
Therefore, the first thing that needs to be investigated now is who under the old godly woman left the offshore islands when Hu Shaomeng died.
That person should be the person who killed Hu Shaomeng.
Whoever killed Hu Shaomeng should have the red makeup mirror!
Of course, it is also possible that it will be handed over to the old godmother in the end. That would be the worst outcome.
The old godmother can definitely measure the weight of that treasure. If he wants to take it back, he must plan carefully.
After thinking about it, Haizong Ming became angry in his heart and couldn't help but slap the case to pieces: "Evil beast! He died like this. It's really an advantage for you!"
…
At this time, Jiang Wang had no idea that his whereabouts in the Pine Forest Beast Nest had been noticed, and that the risk had been eliminated due to a misunderstanding. He also had no idea that the aftermath of Hu Shaomeng's incident was still brewing in the remote offshore archipelago.
He has now arrived outside the Buddha Land of Xuankong Temple. The reason why he has not stepped in is because he still has some hidden worries.
It is not surprising how he entered the mountain gate of Xuankong Temple. With his current status, he is a fourth-rank Qingpai of Qi State and has been granted the title of Duke. It is unlikely that he is not even qualified to worship the mountain.
He mainly wanted to know whether the old monk Kujue was in Xuankong Temple at the moment...
