The first thousand one hundred and eighty first chapters
The elders of the White Bone Hall sighed for a while. They were not strong enough. They were beaten by the Zhenhai Sect in a fancy way, and there was no way they could do anything about it.
The great elder asked: "If Zhenhaizong retreats when they have the advantage, will they already know our plan?"
The meaning of these words is very obvious. My family's previous plan was to fight a big battle, then abandon the Bone Cliff and escape into the ancient battlefield.
This plan was agreed upon by the seven God-Transformation monks present. If Zhenhai Sect knew about it, then one of the God-Transformation monks must have rebelled.
The top brass of the sect rebelled, and all the secrets of the Bone Palace were leaked.
Originally, the secret of cultivating the cultivators of the Gods in the Bone Palace was leaked, and some people suspected that there was a traitor in the top management.
If we are to take a firm position now, we will first have to be in chaos internally.
The sect leader shook his head: "There shouldn't be a traitor inside, Lord Shattered Star God is cunning and cunning. He probably didn't know our plan when he withdrew this time.
Currently, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in the south and west of the Ten Thousand Demons Archipelago is powerful, and the pressure from the Zhenhai Sect is very high.
This time we came to attack our Bone Palace, maybe because we wanted to solve the trouble behind it in advance, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in the future.
He could also imagine that if they continued to fight, they would definitely win.
But if we fight to the death, Zhenhai Sect's Yuanying monks and flying warships will definitely suffer heavy losses.
In the next few hundred years, Zhenhaizong may be in a state of insecurity.
We lost a lot of warships and monks in this battle, but the Zhenhai Sect didn't lose much.
Stop as soon as you see fit, you won't lose too many manpower, and it can also play a role in training troops.
Withdrawing now is indeed the most cost-effective strategy for Zhenhaizong."
The elders also felt that it was justified and no longer mentioned the spies.
The great elder asked: "Then what should we do next?"
The sect leader sighed: "Step up preparations for war. The Zhenhai Sect will not suffer much losses. They will definitely take action again within half a year.
Next time they will do what they did this time and cause us some losses before retreating.
Also, arrangements must be made for the evacuation of the elite disciples.
After arranging the elite disciples, we will spend all our money to fight Zhenhaizong decisively.
Even if there is no hope of winning, Zhenhaizong will still be exhausted."
On the other side, the Zhenhai Sect monks returned to Bone Dragon Island.
True Lord Xiao Feng stood on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly: "This battle is a great victory. We destroyed five Bone Palace warships and killed dozens of enemies!"
The monks who stayed behind on the island also cheered loudly. Although they had repeatedly captured important territory controlled by the Bone Palace before, their losses had always been considerable.
In particular, there are so many bone puppets in the Bone Palace that they might come out to attack at any time.
A sixth-level bone puppet would be unfavorable against a fifth-level warship.
The warship was destroyed and the monks could not escape.
Therefore, in previous contests, Zhenhaizong's losses have always been greater than those of Bone Palace.
In this battle, the Zhenhaizong suffered very little losses, while the Bone Palace suffered heavy losses. This is indeed something worthy of celebration.
At this time, Wang Daoyuan was still staying in the weapon refining room.
Not long after the meeting, Palace Master Zhang came in with a warship.
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said: "Senior brother, I heard about this great victory on the front line. I wonder what the specific situation is like?"
Zhang Yutang was also full of joy: "We used wheel tactics here and consumed five warships in the Bone Palace.
Most of the monks on these warships were killed.
We only lost two warships here, and most of the monks on board were saved.
Only a few Golden Core cultivators were damaged, but not a single Nascent Soul cultivator was lost."
During the war, the golden elixir monks were worthless, so it didn't matter if a few of them were lost.
As long as you can win, you can recruit more monks at any time.
The two warships were still considered losses. Even with the combined efforts of multiple fifth-level weapon refiners and formation masters, it would take a year or two to refine one.
Wang Daoyuan said with a smile: "That's really a great victory. The White Bone Palace's family background is shallow. If they use it a few more times, they will be exhausted."
Zhang Yutang handed the warship to Wang Daoyuan: "In this battle, many of our warships were injured.
This ship was severely damaged, but it was still able to fly normally.
I have three months to repair it, so I’ll leave it to my junior brother.”
Wang Daoyuan patted his chest and assured: "Senior brother, don't worry, this little thing is nothing to me."
After Zhang Yutang left, Wang Daoyuan immediately repaired the warship.
The damage to this warship is indeed not serious, but the outer plates are more damaged.
It took more than a month to finally repair it.
Three months later, all warships were repaired.
Zhang Yutang came to Wang Daoyuan's refining room again: "Junior Brother Zhou, this time we are going on an expedition together.
Get ready and leave tomorrow for the Palace of Bones."
Wang Daoyuan was stunned and asked: "What's going on? Our Zhenhai Sect should not be short of people, right? Why should we send weapon refiners here?"
Zhang Yutang smiled and said: "Of course there is no shortage, the Supreme Elder decided to decide the outcome in a battle.
We abandoned Bone Dragon Island and settled on a small island in front of White Bone Cliff.
Once a warship on the front line is damaged, repair it on the spot.
If we win this battle, the Bone Palace will be destroyed.
If we lose this battle, we will retreat."
Wang Daoyuan thought in his mind, why is Lord Shattered Star so anxious?
It is common for wars between major powers to last for decades or hundreds of years.
The battle between Zhenhaizong and White Bone Palace has only lasted for about ten years now.
The Palace of Bones only has so little strength, and it won't be able to make big waves in a short period of time.
A battle that is guaranteed to be won should be fought slowly and calmly.
And the Star-Shattered Lord actually ordered a battle to determine the outcome. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
He asked Zhang Yutang: "Before, our Zhenhaizong always played steadily and tried to make as few mistakes as possible to avoid being overturned.
Why are you so anxious this time? Could it be that something happened?"
Zhang Yutang shook his head: "I don't know what the situation is. The Supreme Elder gave this order, so we can only obey it."
Wang Daoyuan stopped asking, and Zhang Yutang was considered a senior member of Zhenhaizong.
Even he didn't know the specific situation, and most likely there was some major change.
It is a pity that the power of the Minglong Organization has not penetrated into the vicinity of the Bone Palace.
Here, Wang Daoyuan has no way of knowing the situation in the outside world.
Otherwise, we can also learn about the changes in the entire Seven Star Sea cultivation world through the intelligence system of the Minglong Organization.
After Zhang Yutang left, Wang Daoyuan also made some preparations.
The next day, in addition to the warships originally participating in the battle, there were more than ten warships and airships.
Used to carry alchemists, weapon refiners, and many supplies.
Half a day later, the White Bone Cliff was already in sight.
There are many small islands around the Bone Cliff.
True Lord Sao Feng chose an island with a diameter of about two hundred miles and ordered everyone to stay here.
On this island, there is a sixth-level low-grade non-attribute spiritual vein.
This island is called Panshi Island, and the entire island looks like a big rock from a distance.
The island is also entirely made of rocks, and apart from the quarry pits, there are no traces of human habitation.
This place is good as a temporary camp, but the only drawback is that there are no fire eyes here.
It is more difficult to refine elixirs and weapons.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't refine elixirs and weapons without earth fire.
Fire attribute Nascent Soul monks can completely use their own spiritual power to condense flames.
It just consumes a lot of spiritual power, and the firepower is not enough, so smelting materials is very laborious.
Fortunately, we had already made preparations beforehand, and had already forged a lot of equipment embryos.
If a certain part of the warship is damaged, these embryos can be used to engrave it at any time.
After the vessel pattern is engraved, damaged parts can be replaced.
After everyone settled on the island, a sixth-level low-grade corpse puppet was released.
He patrolled the entire island to see if there were any hidden methods in the Bone Palace.
Refined corpses generally have the ability to find life, and there are hidden living creatures around them. Their sensing abilities are stronger than those of human monks.
As a combination of corpse refining and puppet, corpse puppet naturally also has the characteristics of corpse refining.
Refining Corpse quickly walked around the entire island and did not find any monks hiding in the Bone Palace.
Wang Daoyuan and other logistics personnel began to find their own stations.
A moment later, more than sixty warships left Panshi Island and headed for the Bone Palace not far away.
Panshi Island is not far from the Bone Palace, less than two thousand miles.
With the Nascent Soul monk's eyesight, he could roughly see flying warships flying in and out of the Bone Palace.
Wang Daoyuan's actual cultivation level is higher. From this distance, he can completely see the details of the flying warship.
You can even directly use spells to attack the mountain gate of the Bone Palace with the help of supernatural powers.
Just spanning a distance of nearly two thousand miles, the attack power was already running low.
A distance of two thousand miles is nothing to a flying warship.
In only half an hour, the warships of the Zhenhai Sect arrived about five hundred miles away from the White Bone Cliff, ready to attack the Zhenhai Sect's mountain-protecting formation at any time.
The monks here at the Bone Palace did not dare to neglect, and twelve warships flew out of the Bone Palace.
Zhenhaizong sent out twenty-one warships to attack these twelve warships.
The rest of the warships were still watching the excitement as before.
In a warship, Zhenjun Xiaofeng saw the lineup of the Bone Palace and said with a smile: "It seems that the warships that were severely damaged last time have not been repaired until now.
There are only twelve warships in the Palace of Bones now, and they cannot last very long and will be completely destroyed soon."
An old and hoarse voice came: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Although the bone puppets of the White Bone Palace are not as powerful as the Ten Thousand Years Corpse Puppet, they should not be underestimated. We must be prepared for them to ambush the bone puppets for a sneak attack."
"Ahem..."
Lord Shattered Star coughed for a long time before he calmed down.
True Lord Sao Feng was a little worried: "Uncle, your body..."
"It doesn't matter, I suffered too many injuries when I was young, leaving a lot of hidden wounds.
At that time, the vitality was strong and there were no problems.
Last time in the Seven Star Sea, I spent too much real energy in order to win.
His lifespan was short, and now he had consumed too much real energy, and the hidden wounds left in his early years could no longer be suppressed.
No matter whether we fight or not, I won't be able to last long in this battle.
There is no value in continuing to live.
While you still have the strength to fight, help the sect kill a few more powerful enemies.
I still have some strength left, so you don’t have to worry, just command the disciples to fight."
True Lord Sao Feng said yes, took out the messenger token, and sent a message to the stewards on each warship.
Soon, various warships began to move and besieged the warships in the Bone Palace.
Last time, there were more than 20 warships at the Bone Palace, and they were able to maneuver around.
This time, there are only twelve warships left in the Bone Palace, and they have no ability to fight back at all. They can only rely on the large formation to support themselves.
After an hour of tossing, the warships on the Zhenhaizong side began to take turns.
Half a day later, warships began to be severely damaged and crashed in the Bone Palace.
On the Zhenhaizong side, some warships were also seriously damaged.
The damaged warship quickly flew back to Panshi Island, which was more than a thousand miles away. A group of stewards from the Weapon Refining Hall, including Wang Daoyuan, quickly gathered around to inspect the damage to the warship.
Then, repairs to the warship began.
More than ten managers of the refining hall worked together, so the repair speed was naturally very fast.
In an hour or two, a warship can be repaired.
The Zhenhaizong warship was slightly damaged, so we ran back to repair it.
A intact warship is difficult to destroy against an opponent of the same level.
As for the Bone Palace, the number of warships is too few.
Once a warship is damaged, several warship squadrons from the Zhenhai Sect will attack and besiege them, leaving no chance of escape.
The battle lasted for a day, and out of the twelve warships in the Bone Palace, only five were still struggling to hold on.
Moreover, these five warships were also covered in wounds.
True Lord Sao Feng looked like he was sure of victory: "Uncle Master, the Palace of Bones does not have enough warships now.
Otherwise, we will press all the warships on top and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop."
"Ahem..." Lord Broken Star coughed for a while, "No, the Bone Palace's trump card is not these warships, but the bone puppets.
Once all the warships enter the attack range of the defensive formation, and the bone puppets rush out, we will be attacked from both sides."
