A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 998 Unfavorable

Hearing this, Ziyun showed a kind smile on his face.

Then he said to Lin Xi: "I have already told Elder Murong that after you break through, you can go to her place. I have also prepared the things to improve the child's foundation."

She is like a mother, thoughtful and considerate.

"Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Senior Zi."

Lu Luan and the other man immediately thanked them.

"Come with me."

Ziyun turned around.

The two followed immediately.

Seeing that they were going to the Elders' Hall, Lu Luan asked, "Senior Zi, are you going to the Elders' Hall?"

He had previously thought it was at Ziyun's residence.

Ziyun nodded and said, "Yes, the Elder Hall is now the core of the city and the most important place in the entire Haitang Continent. Now that the demon tribe is entrenched in the border, our core elders usually have to be there to facilitate dealing with various situations."

“This…”

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the Elders' Hall.

Mo Yunqin and several other true elders in charge are also here.

After seeing them, he knew what was going on and stepped forward to congratulate Lin Xi, saying, "It seems that Junior Brother Lin is also about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This is really cause for celebration."

"Yes, and it's a double happiness."

"It won't be long before my Haoyue Sect will have another Nascent Soul Elder and a talented young man."

Congratulations are heard everywhere.

Several people responded one by one.

"Senior Zi, how long will it take?"

Lu Luan asked Ziyun.

"Xiao Xi's breakthrough is a natural thing now. She will be able to break through in half a month at most, and then she can go back to stabilize her realm."

Ziyun replied.

"Half a month."

This time is already very short. It took him more than half a year to break through.

After talking to Lu Luan for a few words, Ziyun took Lin Xi to the secret retreat room deep in the Elders' Hall.

It didn't take long before Lu Luan was waiting outside the hall.

Since I had nothing to do, I went outside to drink and chat with a few true elders.

He had been in Haoyue Sect for forty or fifty years, and with the weight of the five heart lamps, he now knew almost all the Nascent Soul elders of Haoyue Sect.

Including Lu Luan, the five elders sat in the bamboo forest.

"Elder Lu, Elder Mo told me that if your former sword-cultivating junior brother from your sect is willing to join the Haoyue Sect, he can come to my mountain to practice."

Elder Qiu from the sword cultivation lineage was also here today and said to Lu Luan.

He was born in a small sect and lived almost as a casual cultivator. He was able to reach the Golden Core realm a hundred years ago. He had a good talent in swordsmanship, and he was also Lu Luan's junior brother, so he was very willing to accept him.

This Elder Qiu is now the second elder in the sect.

The black knife that Lu Luan is currently using was previously owned by Elder Qiu’s father.

"Elder Lu, how is fellow Daoist's recovery going?"

Hu Hong also asked.

Lu Luan said regretfully: "My junior brother left Zixin City half a month ago. He pursued the path in his heart and did not want to join any forces."

“He’s already gone.”

Everyone was surprised.

"Elder Mo, what are the recent movements of the demon race?"

Lu Luan asked Mo Yunqin.

It has been nearly a year since the Immortal Path formed an alliance with the Sea-Swallowing Whale Clan, and now many of the demon clan’s vanguards have arrived in the Demon Realm to prepare.

After Mo Yunqin drank a glass of wine, he said, "There are now at least a hundred demon beast lords gathered near the Demon Realm bordering Haitangzhou."

“That’s all.”

Lu Luan’s brows furrowed.

Hu Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's nothing. The most important location now is the Qionghai area."

Mo Yunqin took over the conversation and said, "Yes, the most important thing now is the Qionghai Region. The Wilderness Region has been destroyed and does not have much offensive value. The main purpose of the powerful people deployed by the demon clan here is to disperse the immortal cultivators and tie down part of the immortal power here."

"So, it is unlikely that a major war will break out in Haitang Island. The real battlefield will be in the Qionghai area," said Lu Luan.

Hu Hong nodded silently: "It is possible. The next strategy of the demon clan is not to destroy the immortal path in one fell swoop, but to continue to trap the immortal path. They plan to use the few strange soils to pollute the Qionghai area, and then slowly erode it. In this way, the immortal path will only have the Haotu area as the only intact place."

After all, even if the entire clan puts all its strength into flattening the fairyland, it is still too difficult and the casualties would be unbearable. If they only attack in the Qionghai area, the pressure from all aspects will be much lighter.

"How cunning."

Lu Luan murmured.

In this case, the human race will be in an even worse situation, and the demon soldiers will be able to concentrate more and take advantage of numbers.

Now that the demon cultivators are not helping them, if the demon clan wants to kill ten human cultivators, it may take the death of two hundred demon beasts to do so. But if they want to contain them, it is different. The long border needs someone to guard it, and to contain ten cultivators, perhaps a hundred demon beasts will be enough.

Moreover, the Qionghai area is the channel connecting the immortal way with the outside world. If the Qionghai area is polluted, the immortal land will become an isolated island.

He was also a human being and was prepared to die on the battlefield. However, when he thought about the future situation of the human race, his heart inevitably became heavy.

"The last time the demons invaded, they also planned to attack from the Qionghai area, but doing so would pollute a large amount of the marine environment. Because of opposition from the big sea tribes such as the Sea-Swallowing Whale Tribe and the Ghost Snail Tribe, they did not carry out the plan. But now that the Ghost Snail Tribe and the Sea-Swallowing Whale Tribe have started fighting each other, they have no scruples."

Elder Qiu said.

"Now the demon clan in the Qionghai area has stockpiled more than two thousand lord demon beasts, and the number is still increasing. Several large sects such as the Shenlian Sect that are good at refining pills and making talismans have moved to the Haotu area." Mo Yunqin was very solemn.

In the past, because the sea monsters were relatively friendly towards humans, and the monsters on land were naturally hostile to the sea monsters, Kunlun placed sects like the Shenlian Sect in the Qionghai area, which also facilitated exchanges with the sea monsters and promoted relations with humans.

But now the original structure of Cangming Star has been broken and needs to be redeployed.

"We will send some people to Qionghai area soon." Mo Yunqin continued.

Lu Luan was not surprised. The situation in Qionghai Region was so tense that it was impossible for all the people from Haoyue Sect to be dragged here, so they would have to squeeze in some people to help.

This kind of clan war is not the time to be lazy.

"Elder Mo, are those Beast Kings still in the void?" Lu Luan asked.

If the Beast Kings are now also concentrated in the Qionghai area, then the battlefield will not be able to be deployed.

Mo Yunqin shook his head and said, "No, they are not here. They know that the immortals will resist desperately. They are afraid that the Divine Transformation cultivators will perish together with the fourth-level spiritual talisman, so they are hiding in the void."

The immortals have the means to sense the locations of those powerful monsters, but the void is still the safest.

The Beast King is the top priority of a race, and most powerful races only have one or two of them. If one dies or is injured, the entire race may become food after the war.
