The Wu Country, Calming Waves City.
After the fall of the Demon Lord Earth Scale, True Lord Jihai withdrew from the Ning Country battlefield and replaced him with True Lord Qingyu. As the leader of the alliance, he was in charge of the Dinglan Town hub, mobilizing the combat forces and spiritual resources from all directions.
Calming Waves City was one of the three key cities in the Wu Country's battle formation.
After more than forty years of renovation, this town, which was originally just a small town in the mountains, is now gradually taking on the appearance of a magnificent city.
The Yuliu Su Clan, which originally held sway over this area, has gradually grown into a powerful cultivation clan by clinging tightly to the Vast Waves Alliance and contributing its manpower and resources over the years.
Even so, the Yuliu Su Clan did not become complacent in the slightest. On the contrary, they became even more humble and placed the foundation of their clan on this future magnificent city.
now.
Inside the main hall of the city.
Several water-like mirrors floated in front of True Lord Jihai, reflecting the faces of the Nascent Soul from the main battle formations of the three battlefields, as well as the faces of the current leaders of the three sects.
"Senior Brother Jihai, Fellow Huoyang and I have gone to the sea to check... If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the demon caves that intend to come ashore this time should be Treasure Light, Sand Scale, and Golden Horn Cave."
True Lord Qingyu's gaze was solemn.
Since their last landing at the Demon Cave, the Vast Waves Alliance has adopted an extremely tough stance, gathering five Nascent Soul True Lord in one go to forcefully besiege the three Nascent Soul Demon Lord of Ning Country, after the demise of the Demon Lord Earth Scale of Gen Earth Cave.
The Demon Cultivator cultivators of the Three Caves have now only suppressed their power in the southeastern border of Ning Country and the coastal areas.
The reason for not completely forcing them back to the sea...
The first reason is the fear that the enemy might launch a desperate counterattack, and it would be disastrous if one or two Nascent Soul were to fall on our side.
Even now, Nascent Soul level cultivators are still avoiding true life-or-death battles.
Every Nascent Soul Nascent Soul is a pillar of the sect; the loss of even one could disrupt the balance of the entire power.
The last time the three demon lords came ashore, the Vast Waves Alliance seized a rare opportunity to defeat the Demon Lord Earth Scale, outnumbering him, and because Sword Lord Yuan Jun had hidden a Sword Intent... that they were able to successfully kill one of the demon lords.
However, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by. If the remaining three demon lords are pushed too far and they launch a desperate counterattack, the Vast Waves Alliance will inevitably pay a heavy price.
Most importantly, even now, the Vast Waves Alliance remains wary of whether the Holy Origin Alliance might betray them.
"These damned beasts..."
"Flower Washing Sword Sect," said Old Man Fish Pillow, his face displeased.
The fact that Three Demon Caves are trying to land, and even jointly cut off all maritime traffic... this move is sure to give the Vast Waves Alliance a headache.
But it's not just the Vast Waves Alliance that will have a headache; the other four alliances will have the same problem.
True Lord Jihai's analysis, the expressions of the Nascent Soul improved somewhat.
"But..." Old Man Fish Pillow shook his head and said, "Now that the trade routes are cut off, the completion time of the great formation's repairs... will probably have to be delayed again."
"This time, the Demon Cultivator caused chaos, and those scoundrels from the Holy Origin Demonic Alliance... will definitely not escape responsibility."
He didn't actually need to point it out; everyone present was well aware of the Holy Origin Alliance's actions in this matter.
Everyone wants to destroy the Holy Origin Alliance in one fell swoop...
However, there are priorities in this matter. The most urgent task is to allocate more spiritual resources to support the repair of the various array-center cities.
Therefore, when True Lord Jihai brought this matter to light...
"The maritime trade routes have been cut off, and this matter does not only concern my Vast Waves Alliance... I have already sent messengers to the Orthodox Mystery Alliance, Heavenly Star Alliance, Sword Alliance, and Buddhist Alliance to inquire about their plans."
"But instead of placing all our hopes on others, which will inevitably lead to nothing in the end... the only way to cross the river is to save ourselves."
True Lord Jihai's expression was solemn, his gaze shifting back and forth across the water mirror before him, his clear voice echoing throughout the hall.
"Their purpose in doing this is to delay the final repairs of the city's core; if they can wear us down, that would be ideal..."
"But..." True Lord Jihai paused, his voice suddenly rising, his eyes gleaming with divine light, "If they could bring us down simply by cutting off trade routes, then these demonic villains, these lowly beasts, are overestimating themselves!"
The Nascent Soul fixed their gazes on True Lord Jihai, the alliance leader.
As the leader of the alliance, True Lord Jihai never forgot the heavy responsibility he bore.
He not only needs to have strength that surpasses his peers, but also composure and strategic thinking that surpasses his peers.
" The Gao Clan Jade Wave Immortal Market has secretly dispatched messengers to open up a sea trade route to the Yuan Kingdom. In a few months to a year or two, spiritual resources from the Yuan Kingdom will surely be able to enter our Vast Waves Alliance steadily."
"Gentlemen, the great formation is nearing completion; we must not let our guard down now!"
"I hope all of you will work together..."
After the morale of the troops has been stabilized.
True Lord Jihai received the messenger from Jade Wave Immortal Market.
But besides the messenger from Jade Wave Immortal Market, there were two other messengers.
The two messengers performed the customary greetings of seafaring cultivators, saying, " Bai Hong and Xu Ting, messengers from the Swan Immortal Market and the Ink Affinity Immortal Market, pay their respects to True Lord Jihai."
True Lord Jihai's eyes lit up as he looked at Gao Jin, the messenger from Jade Wave Immortal Market.
Over the years, through its cooperation with the Jade Spring Sect Jade Wave Immortal Market has gradually extended its reach into the Vast Waves Alliance. The two sides have benefited from each other and made a fortune, and have become quite familiar with each other.
Gao Jin, a member of a collateral branch of the Azure Wave Gao Clan, stepped forward when he saw the Vast Waves Alliance leader looking at him. He said with great enthusiasm, "Reporting to True Lord, after learning that Ning Country's trade routes had been cut off, the young master of my Jade Wave Immortal Market decisively sought out the owners of the Honghu and Moyuan Immortal Markets to discuss the matter."
"The three families discussed the matter and felt that these Sixteen Demon Caves were going too far, an act that aroused the wrath of both gods and men. Therefore, the three families agreed to open a trade route to the Yuan Kingdom, to further expand the trade of spiritual resources for the Vast Waves Alliance..."
Gao Jin's words were extremely eloquent.
Ultimately, however, it is still profitable to trade with the Vast Waves Alliance, and the Gao Clan would feel bad if they gave it up.
This was exactly what True Lord Jihai had anticipated.
What he hadn't anticipated was that the Jade Wave Immortal Market would actually bring in the Honghu and Moyuan Immortal Markets as well...
How wise and intelligent is the True Lord Jihai?
He listened quietly to Gao Jin's polite words, but as his mind raced, he roughly understood the real reason why Gao Clan was willing to raise the bet again.
It's mostly because of his own Dao Child!
However, Chen Shuangbai's secret sea voyage to cultivate and break through to the Nascent Soul stage likely involved contact with the Gao Clan.
However, since it was not appropriate to discuss this matter in public, I went along with the person's polite words and said, "Thank you for your consideration."
" The Jade Wave Immortal Market and the Vast Waves Alliance have always been on good terms. In this time of crisis, the Gao Clan stepped forward and contacted the Honghu and Moyuan families to help our family. Jihai will always remember this kindness and friendship."
The group quickly bowed in return, uttering polite phrases like "I dare not" and "It's my duty"...
