The Dispute Resolved, the Enemy Attacked Again
"First-class Fallen Star Iron is produced in limited quantities and is prioritized for supplying capital ships; this is standard practice."
"Your Flowing Cloud Sect is building escort ships, which are supposed to be made of second-grade materials according to regulations. If you're willing to pay for first-grade materials and make up the difference, the Materials Division will immediately replace them for you."
"If you feel it's unfair, you can refuse the outsourced work and Luozhen Sect build it themselves. However, the construction period will be delayed. When the enemy attacks, you can weigh for yourselves who will suffer losses."
"As for the Flying Swallow Sect... the Flying Swallow Sect pays for first-class materials. According to the rules, the Flying Swallow Sect should naturally use first-class Fallen Star Iron. Do you have any other questions?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Make up the difference? Where would they get so many Spirit Stone to make up the difference?
If they don't take on jobs, then who knows when they'll get their sect's escort ships?
He opened his mouth, then after a long pause, managed to stammer out, "Then why do the disciples of the Luozhen Sect have a higher elixir quota than those on the front lines?"
Liu Yunsong happened to be nearby and immediately said upon hearing this, "Sect Leader, I also have this question! No matter how urgent the shipbuilding is, you can't steal the border defense's pills!"
Li Yunjing looked at Liu Yunsong: "It's correct that the Qi Gathering Pill from the Alchemy Hall are prioritized for the front lines."
"For shipbuilding, downgrade by one level and use Qi Gathering Powder. The effect is slightly weaker, but it's enough. Halve the daily quota."
"Huh?" Liu Yunsong was taken aback. He had only come to try to stop the quota from increasing again, but he didn't expect the sect leader to cut it in half.
"Although the craftsmen's work consumes spiritual energy, they have shifts and don't need to meet the same standards as the frontline soldiers. All the saved pills can be used to replenish the border," Li Yunjing said calmly.
Liu Yunsong nodded quickly. "Understood!"
Zhao Kun stood there, completely speechless.
They've even cut the salaries of their own sect's artisans, so what else do they have to complain about?
All three major conflicts were resolved within a single day.
Li Yunjing then ordered the establishment of Shipbuilding Council, with representatives from all sides participating. A coordination meeting was held every week to resolve issues large and small on the spot.
With the rules set and people's hearts at ease, the shipbuilding speed actually increased.
Ten days later.
In the air outside Heavenly Craft Valley, twenty Mystic Crane Class frigates stood in neat formation, like twenty black behemoths.
Two 300-zhang-long Luozhen Province Class flagships, one on the left and one on the right, stood like generals leading an army.
The ship's hull gleamed with the cold light of Fallen Star Iron under the sunlight, its cannon barrels menacing and exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.
Looking at this fleet that was beginning to take shape, even Li Yunjing's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
With this fleet at our disposal, we have the confidence to launch a proactive attack.
On the third day after the fleet was formed, the alarm bells rang again at the border.
This time, the scale far surpasses that of the last.
From the cracks in the sky, hordes of enemy troops surged out like a tidal wave.
Hundreds of bone warships and thousands of ancient flying beasts, carrying tens of thousands of ancient warriors and exiled cultivators, rushed towards Luozhen Province.
Even when the vanguard was still a thousand miles from the border, the thick stench of blood and the Tribulation Qi had already swept over them.
The border guards immediately went on high alert, all the spirit cannons were loaded, and the mountain-protecting formation was activated at full power.
But before the enemy could even get within firing range...
At the Luozhen Mountain, two figures slowly stood up.
Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi were originally playing chess on the edge of the cliff.
On the chessboard, black and white pieces are arranged in a grid.
Xuanjizi placed a white piece and smiled slightly, "Here it comes."
Yunyouzi twirled the black chess piece, looked up at the horizon, and said with a slightly stern expression, "You've got some nerve. You learned your lesson last time, and you still dare to come back."
"Perfect timing, let's stretch our muscles."
The two spoke casually, as if the tens of thousands of enemy soldiers before them were nothing more than ants.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanjizi gently waved his whisk.
brush.
Thousands of white silk ribbons flew out from the whisk, seemingly soft, yet sharp as knives.
It pierced through the clouds, traversed thousands of miles, and landed straight into the enemy's ranks.
"Enemy attack!"
The enemy vanguard commander was shocked and quickly raised his shield to block.
But those white ribbons were as if they were nothing, easily penetrating the shields, armor, and hull.
Thud thud thud, blood blossoms.
The hundreds of warships in the front row shattered and fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The soldiers on the ship didn't even have time to scream before they were torn to pieces by the silk ribbons.
With a single, devastating blow, the forwards were almost wiped out.
"Presumptuous!"
A furious roar erupted from within the enemy ranks.
An ancient commander clad in blood-red bone armor soared into the sky, wielding a giant axe, his aura clearly that of Mid Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
"Those two old geezers dare to act so violently!"
He swung his axe towards Xuanjizi, unleashing a massive, blood-red axe beam.
The axe light traversed thousands of miles, carrying the force of creation.
Yunyouzi snorted coldly.
He casually picked up a black piece from the chessboard and flicked it with his finger.
call out.
The black chess piece transformed into a streak of light, meeting the axe's flash.
Bang!
The seemingly insignificant black piece actually shattered the axe's light.
Its momentum undiminished, it shot straight at that ancient ruler.
"What?!"
The ancient commander was greatly alarmed and parried with his axe.
With a snap, the giant axe broke.
The black ball crashed into him like a giant mountain, and with a "poof," the Ancient Commander exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
The disciples watching from the city walls erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Our ancestor is mighty!"
"Well done!"
In the enemy ranks, several leaders were both shocked and furious.
"Attack together! Kill these two old bastards!"
Four enemy leaders at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage rushed out simultaneously, each using their Divine Ability, and attacked towards Luozhen Mountain.
Four beams of light, like four rainbows, stretched across the sky.
Yunyouzi stood up and laughed heartily, "Well done!"
He reached out and grabbed, and the sword beside him automatically jumped into his hand.
"Purple Void Swordsmanship - Break Evil!"
A purple Sword Qi aura shot into the sky, like a giant purple dragon.
Four beams of light greeted them.
Boom!
A blinding light burst forth from the sky.
The four enemy leaders didn't even have time to scream before their lives were taken by a single sword strike.
"Is that all you've got?" Yunyouzi stood with his sword drawn, his robes fluttering in the wind. "Again!"
Xuanjizi smiled and shook his head, "You're still so easy to kill."
He waved his whisk again.
This time, a white phantom of a Daoist appeared on the whisk.
"The One Sweep of Heaven and Earth."
A light sweep.
It seemed as if only this one breath remained in the world.
Within the enemy ranks, another bloodbath ensued.
Bone warships shattered in large swathes, and low-level cultivators fell like wheat stalks.
In a short time, the invading enemy forces had suffered nearly half their losses.
The remaining people were terrified and turned to flee into the crevice.
"Trying to run?"
Yunyouzi swayed and was about to chase after him.
Xuanjizi stopped him. "Don't rush, just go out and take a look, but don't go too deep. Find out where their lair is."
The two figures blurred, transforming into two streaks of light that burst through the crack in the sky.
Beyond the Tianyuan Dao Realm lies the vast void.
The remnants of the enemy army were fleeing in disarray, flying towards a huge black pumice in the distance.
The floating rock resembled a continent floating in the void, with a densely packed army stationed on it. In the center, one could vaguely see a huge umbrella-shaped treasure, spreading out a protective shield to protect the entire floating rock.
"That's it." Xuanjizi nodded slightly.
Yunyouzi glanced at the fleeing enemy troops and snorted coldly.
He raised his hand and slapped down from a distance.
A gigantic, phantom-like hand appeared above the enemy's rear.
It slammed down.
puff.
Like swatting a swarm of flies.
Thousands of low-level cultivators behind were instantly killed, their corpses drifting into the depths of the void.
The enemy troops ran even faster, scrambling to hide inside the pumice shield.
