The first thousand one hundred and seventy-ninth chapters
The Palace of Bones did not sit still and wait for death.
Twenty or so flying warships flew out from the Bone Cliff and arrived outside the defensive formation.
Regardless of the balance of strength, as long as you have the ability to fight, you cannot defend.
After all, the formation of the Bone Palace is really not that good.
If you only know how to hide it in the formation, the formation will not be able to withstand Zhenhai Sect's tossing.
Zhenhai Sect is a powerful force with tens of thousands of foundations. Although the tiger has fallen, the inheritance is still there.
If you want to rely solely on formations to block your opponent, unless your opponent doesn't understand formations at all, or your own formations are extremely advanced and far exceed the opponent's heritage.
Just like the Wang family's sixth-level mid-level formation, it inherited the inheritance of the Shenlian Sect and the Ten Thousand Beast Valley formations, and also received part of the inheritance of the Yin-Yang Formation Immortal.
Even the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, which has the worst formation inheritance, can crush the current Seven Star Sea forces in terms of overall formation level.
Even if the Wang family's Baiquan Valley and Tianfu Island are just defended, it will be difficult for other forces to break through.
The White Bone Palace was just a force that slowly rose after the Yuling Sect was destroyed and the Zhenhai Sect pretended to be its grandson.
It's only a few thousand years old now, and there isn't much in the way of inheritance.
If it weren't for the ancient battlefield, a bone demon cultivation place, it would be impossible to have the power it has today.
The monks in the Bone Palace are also somewhat self-aware.
If we want to resist Zhenhai Sect's attack, we can only rely on the numerous bones here to sacrifice powerful bone puppets.
Rely on the big formation to deal with Zhenhaizong.
They also knew that Zhenhaizong had no backup at this time and was relying on its last remaining family resources to survive.
As long as it lasts for a period of time and Zhenhaizong's family resources are exhausted, they will have no choice but to retreat.
The flying warship of the Bone Palace stopped moving forward after flying more than three hundred miles.
At this distance, the mountain guard formation can exert its full force.
At the same time, Zhenhaizong will not be afraid to take action because it is too close to the formation.
This kind of defensive formation is both offensive and defensive.
You can use various means to attack enemies outside the formation through a large formation.
If you are too close to the formation, it is equivalent to fighting against the god-transforming monks.
A fifth-level high-grade flying warship really does not have this capability.
Soon, Zhenhaizong's warship arrived five or six hundred miles away from the Bone Palace.
The flying warships of both sides are more than two hundred miles apart, so there is no problem in attacking each other.
It's just that after the spell is cast, its power will decrease as the distance becomes farther.
Fighting at this distance can only barely guarantee that you can threaten your opponent.
It is very difficult to break through the defense.
Zhenhaizong only sent one-third of its flying warships to fight against the Bone Palace.
The rest of the flying warships retreated dozens of miles, looking like they were watching the fun.
Moreover, the Zhenhai Sect did not even fire the dragon-hunting crossbow, but only used some magic weapons to fire spell attacks.
After all, the arrows of the dragon hunting crossbow need to be refined.
The spell attack released by the magic weapon only consumes some spiritual power.
This means that it is clearly a wheel battle.
This is also the most suitable choice. Zhenhaizong has many warships and golden elixir monks.
In order to save spiritual stones, each family used golden elixir monks to drive the warships.
The two sides are fighting at a distance, so it is difficult to kill them with one strike, so they can only rely on exhaustion.
There are many people in Zhenhaizong here, so they can definitely be rotated.
When the golden elixir monks on a group of warships ran out of spiritual power, they retreated to recover and let other warships.
The Zhenhaizong side is in a more embarrassing situation. The number of people and warships is insufficient, and they can only rely on spiritual stones to make up for the consumption.
No matter how much spiritual stone you have, you can't afford it to be consumed like this.
After a few months of doing this, the Bone Palace's foundation will be exhausted.
The Zhenhai Sect has made it clear that it will use the spiritual power of the monks to drain the family wealth of the Bone Palace.
The two sides started a battle, all kinds of spells flew together, and all kinds of spiritual power light illuminated the sea.
The first round of the battle lasted for more than two hours, and the Jindan monks who acted as humanoid spiritual stones on Zhenhai Sect's side had almost exhausted their spiritual power.
Soon, more than twenty flying warships participating in the battle retreated.
Among the flying warships that were originally watching the battle, more than twenty were sent to fill in.
The flying warship here has been recharging its energy for a long time, but the golden elixir monks over there at the Bone Palace have almost exhausted their spiritual power.
At this time, in a large hall at the mountain gate of the Bone Palace, an old man wearing gray robes sat on the main seat.
"The old ghost Broken Star is really insidious. With the advantage of numbers of people and warships, he will start a wheel battle with us."
A young-looking monk in the early stages of becoming a god angrily hammered the desk in front of him: "Sect Master, the Zhenhai Sect is playing dirty tricks, let's not be polite to them.
He directly sent out a few bone puppets and destroyed all their broken warships.
We can’t afford to keep spending like this.”
A middle-aged monk opposite him waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not. Although we have the ancient battlefield as a basis, we can easily obtain the bones of high-level monsters.
But the hastily obtained bone puppet has very limited abilities.
Zhenhaizong's tens of thousands of years of accumulation are beyond our comparison.
We have sent bone puppets for sneak attacks many times before, but we have not been able to gain much advantage. On the contrary, we have suffered considerable losses.
If we fight hard, I am afraid that the thousands-year-old foundation of the White Bone Palace will be completely ruined."
The young monk was dissatisfied: "Then what do you think we should do? How about we surrender and ask Zhenhaizong to let us go?"
The middle-aged monk shook his head: "In my opinion, make preparations as soon as possible and retreat to the ancient battlefield.
Although this ancient battlefield is extremely dangerous, we monks from the Bone Palace have entered the edge area many times to explore, and we have some understanding of it.
As long as you don't go too deep, you won't suffer much loss.
Moreover, this ancient battlefield is also considered a holy land for cultivation for us and the monks of the Bone Palace.
You can also quickly increase your strength inside, and when you are strong enough, you can come out to deal with the Zhenhai Sect.
The Zhenhai Sect monks don't know much about the ancient battlefield, so they may not dare to enter it rashly.
If they dare to enter, we can completely destroy them with the help of the remains of those ancient demons."
As soon as this statement came out, two of the seven people present agreed.
The young monk snorted coldly: "Our White Bone Palace has established its foundation on the White Bone Cliff for more than seven thousand years.
We have experienced several demonic beast riots. At that time, the first-generation Patriarch only had Nascent Soul cultivation level, and he was able to defend this Bone Cliff in the face of countless demonic beasts.
We now have so many god-transformation monks, but we have to give up the foundation of more than 7,000 years. Will you have the honor to meet the ancestors of all generations after your death?"
Two people also agreed with his statement. Except for the old man who was in charge, there were the same number of senior leaders fighting and escaping.
The two groups of people kept arguing, and the old man coughed lightly: "You don't need to argue anymore, I already have a plan.
We have the means to cultivate god-transformation monks, and this news must have been leaked.
You all know what having this thing in your hand means to a force.
As long as we are given a hundred years, the Ten Thousand Demons Islands will be nothing more than a piece of cake.
The White Bone Palace dominates the Ten Thousand Demons Islands, and the first step is to take action with the Zhenhaizong.
The Zhenhai Sect's family wealth is far better than ours, and Old Ghost Broken Star is even more determined to destroy our Bone Palace.
They attack with all their strength, and we can't stop them at all.
It is not wise to go head-on now.
Therefore, we must be prepared to not be able to defend the White Bone Cliff."
The young monk's face was full of anger: "Sect Master, are you so embarrassed that we can just run away like this?"
The old man shook his head: "Of course not. If we run away without fighting and give up our foundation in vain, what will the disciples think of us?
Be prepared to evacuate, but before evacuating, you must have a good fight.
Take out all the spiritual stones in the sect's treasure house and use them for warship battles.
If we don’t have enough manpower, we’ll use spiritual stones to make up for it and hold on for a while first.”
The middle-aged monk quickly said: "Sect Master, now we are completely at a disadvantage.
If we insist on fighting, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.
We now have the means to quickly cultivate the cultivators of the gods. As long as we hide them and develop with peace of mind for decades, we will definitely be able to destroy the Zhenhai Sect."
The old man was silent for a long time and then said: "To maintain a power, you not only need to have sufficient strength, but also the aspiration of the people.
We can be defeated, no matter how miserable the defeat is, as long as the people are still there and the hearts of the people are still there, there will be a chance for a comeback.
But we must not flee without a fight. Today we encountered Zhenhaizong and ran away if we couldn't defeat them.
In the future, we will have to face the stronger Ten Thousand Demons Cult and the Seven Star Alliance over the Seven Star Sea. Will anyone be willing to fight to the death?
If you don't even dare to uphold the inheritance left by the ancestors of past generations, the sect will have no meaning in existence.
Everyone just wants to save their own wealth and life. No matter how many masters of spiritual transformation there are, they are just a mess.
Before facing a powerful enemy, he would collapse internally.
This is a battle for people's hearts. Even if we are bound to lose, we still have to fight.
With a disastrous defeat, I told those disciples, as well as ourselves and our descendants, that in order to preserve the foundation left by the ancestors of the past generations, we can invest all our family wealth.
Let them know that we, the higher-ups, are willing to fight tooth and nail for our sect."
At this time, both the fighting and fleeing monks stood up and saluted: "I will obey the orders of the sect master."
The old man nodded: "Then it's settled, Great Elder, since you advocate peace, go down and arrange the escape route for the elite disciples.
Those elite disciples are the seeds of our White Bone Palace, and as long as they are still there, the White Bone Palace will never die."
The middle-aged monk stood up and saluted: "I obey."
Then, the old man looked at the young monk again: "Second Elder, you are in charge of the battle. The tasks of arranging supplies and directing the disciples to fight will be left to you."
The young monk cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
The cultivators dispersed and arranged their own affairs.
At this time, the Bone Palace warships outside were still resisting desperately.
Although there was not much spiritual power left, the order given to them by their superiors was to resist Zhenhai Sect's warships and not let them get close.
Now there are no other orders from above, so they can only hold on.
If you dare to escape without permission, the punishment measures the White Bone Palace will take against traitors are not just for show.
Fortunately, there will be some spare spiritual stones on the warship, which can last for a while.
Soon, they received the order from the second elder, and all warships were withdrawn within the mountain-protecting formation.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the warship turned around and headed towards the mountain gate.
On a warship of the Zhenhai Sect, True Lord Xiaofeng and True Lord Jinjian were watching the battle.
True Lord Sao Feng asked: "Uncle Master, is there any conspiracy behind the withdrawal of the Bone Palace?"
A hoarse voice came from the dark shadow behind: "So what if there is a conspiracy? Conspiracies also need strength to support them.
We have already figured out the family background of the Bone Palace.
This time we are going all out. Now they can either come out and fight for consumption, or fight decisively. There is no other choice at all.
Now that they have retreated, we will stick up and attack the defense formation of the Bone Palace."
Soon, more than twenty warships approached the defense formation of the Bone Palace.
Most of the defensive formations of big forces are both offensive and defensive.
As soon as Zhenhai Sect's warship approached, many attack spells flew out of the defensive light shield.
Although the Palace of Bones does not have a strong family background, it is still a powerful force with several god-transformation monks.
The mountain-protecting formation is also a sixth-level formation. It can release some magic attacks at will to prevent these warships from approaching easily.
Over at the Bone Palace, the flying warship entered the formation and landed in front of the mountain gate.
A flying boat flew out of the mountain gate, and the second elder stood on the bow of the boat and shouted: "Zhenhai Sect invaded my Bone Palace for no reason, and now they are relying on their large number of people to compete with us.
We are short of manpower, but we have a lot of savings.
You can use spiritual stones to drive warships, it doesn’t matter how much you use.
After defeating the Zhenhai Sect, everyone will be rewarded."
After that, he threw out more than twenty Qiankun Rings and handed them to the stewards on each warship.
"There are 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones in each ring, feel free to use them.
If it’s not enough, there’s still more in the sect’s warehouse.”
The senior leaders of the sect were so heroic, and their morale skyrocketed instantly.
