Haoran City, a magnificent palace, with three big characters "Haoran Palace" inscribed on the plaque.
There were several foundation-building monks guarding the door, and the palace gate was closed.
In the spacious and bright hall, Ling Xiao Zhenren and more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together, their expressions solemn.
Right in front of him was a jade chair made of Jinyang jade, empty.
"Such a big thing has happened, and Brother Jiang Daoist still hasn't shown up?"
"Yes! If Brother Jiang doesn't come forward, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with this difficulty."
The monks looked at each other and talked a lot.
"I didn't expect that after Jiang had been in seclusion for a while, the demon tribe would cause such a big disturbance."
A gentle male voice suddenly sounded.
A man in white with an elegant face walked out from the side room. He was tall and thin, with fair skin. He wore a scholar's turban and a pale white jade pendant around his waist.
Jiang Qingshu is in the late Nascent Soul stage. His master is Zhao Qiankun, who is the leader of the Righteous Alliance. Ling Xiao Zhenren is just one of the top leaders of the Righteous Alliance.
All the monks stood up and said in unison: "Greetings to the Acting Alliance Leader."
The leader of the alliance is Zhao Qiankun, and Jiang Qingshu is only the acting leader.
Jiang Qingshu walked to the golden jade chair and sat down, and the monks sat down one after another.
"Fairy Lin has already told me what happened. A fourth-level dragon harmed human cultivators. They tried to kill the monster, but unfortunately the Ice Wind Dragon escaped. The dragon clan will definitely take revenge. You must return to your base immediately, strengthen defense, and command your subordinate forces to resist the beast tide. Kill as many monsters as possible. If you are really defeated, retreat back to Haoran City."
Jiang Qingshu instructed that the Righteous Alliance controlled an area of 50 million miles of sea, with Haoran City as the center and eighteen large islands with fourth-order spiritual veins on the periphery. The eighteen large islands surrounded Haoran City, forming a protective posture.
Eighteen large islands radiate outward, and each large island is guarded by a certain number of islands, thus forming a complete defense network.
Beast tides had broken out before, and basically everyone fought on their own. As long as there were no fourth-level monsters, the Nascent Soul cultivators would basically not take action. This time was different. The outer cordon had been breached, and there were many fourth-level monsters.
Millions of monsters are attacking from all directions. If they are allowed to rush to Haoran City, the great formation of Haoran City will not be able to stop millions of monsters.
Jiang Qingshu's plan was to first let the monks stationed on the small island kill as many low-level monsters as possible to weaken the power of the beast tide, so as to minimize the losses.
When this beast tide is over, many cultivators will surely die, but high-level monsters will also suffer heavy casualties. After the great waves wash away the sands, powerful cultivators will be able to make a fortune with the help of the beast tide, and powerful monsters will be able to devour a large number of cultivators and further improve their cultivation.
The strong prey on the weak; this is the law of survival in the world of immortal cultivation.
"Yes, Acting Alliance Leader."
Zhenren Lingxiao and others agreed in unison, and everyone's face was filled with murderous intent.
Jiang Qingshu introduced in detail the tasks and responsibilities of each Nascent Soul cultivator. The eighteen large islands were divided into six groups, with three large islands in each group, to support each other. If there were not enough people, Haoran City would send people to support them.
The Righteous Alliance does not care about small beast tides, but will not ignore large beast tides. During years of struggle, they have summed up a series of experiences in dealing with the demon race.
"Okay, there's no time to lose, you guys should leave immediately."
Jiang Qingshu instructed that Haoran City had a direct teleportation array that could teleport to eighteen large islands, making it easier to mobilize troops.
The reason why there are only four large markets in the outer sea is also due to defense issues. If there are dozens of markets, it will disperse the power of the human race. Everyone only wants to protect their own interests and it is easy for them to be defeated by the monsters. There are only four large markets, and the interests of the cultivators are linked to the four large markets. They will do their best to protect these four markets. After all, their businesses or relatives are in the large markets.
"Yes, Acting Alliance Leader."
All the cultivators agreed in unison, turned around and left, leaving behind Ling Xiao Zhenren and Jiang Qingshu.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fairy Lin was the one who caused this. If she had killed the fourth-tier dragon, it would have been fine. But she failed to kill the fourth-tier dragon and also triggered a beast tide. How should this matter be handled?"
Master Ling Xiao asked with a frown.
Although the demon race is the mortal enemy of the human race, no one would be willing to clean up the mess caused by Fairy Hanyue. Once this precedent is set, everyone will follow suit.
"I've already told her that after the beast tide recedes, she will take out a portion of the territory and some resources and distribute them to everyone. Whoever contributes more will get more territory."
Jiang Qingshu said in a deep voice that Fairy Hanyue controlled a lot of territories, so she had to offer some benefits before other forces would be willing to contribute.
Ling Xiao Zhenren's expression relaxed and he nodded, "That's more like it. Is her injury so serious? She went into seclusion right after returning? The four of them were unable to kill the Ice Wind Dragon?"
"Her injuries are quite serious. That Ice Wind Dragon is good at wind escape techniques, and with its powerful body, it is difficult to kill. After the beast tide is over, you can help refine a furnace of elixirs to heal her. After all, we are all members of the Righteous Alliance. As for the reward, you can talk to her yourself."
Jiang Qingshu said with a chuckle.
"No, no problem. Let's fight off the monster's attack first."
Master Ling Xiao agreed.
······
In the meeting hall of Ziyue Island, Han Zhangxiang, Han Daojing, Han Debiao, Ye Xin, Han Benfu and Liang Youhai were talking about something.
Ye Xin had just come out of seclusion not long ago. Before Han Changming left the open sea, he gave her some mid-grade Youshui Pills. Ye Xin had been in seclusion for more than 20 years and successfully advanced to the middle stage of Jindan. If there were no mid-grade pills, it would take her decades to cultivate to the middle stage of Jindan.
"Friend Han, this mission was not assigned to you by our Liang family. We are also following the orders of Senior Jiang, the acting leader of the alliance. You must kill as many monsters as possible and only retreat to Haoran City as a last resort. During this beast tide, the alliance will reward you based on your merits. You can exchange the corpses of the monsters for immortal cultivation resources. If you perform great merits, it is not a problem to give you a few islands."
Liang Youhai's voice was full of temptation.
Ziyue Island was incorporated into the controlled territory of Liuli Island and obeyed the command of the Liang family.
"Okay, we will definitely go all out. Fellow Daoist Liang, how is the front line? How far is the beast tide? Are there a lot of fourth-level monsters?"
Han Zhangxiang asked with a frown, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"We have received the news a long time ago and have taken precautions in advance, but there are too many monsters. There are already thirty fourth-level monsters that have appeared. They are scattered and there should be a monster tribe commanding them. The front line is sniping in layers, and the casualties are quite high. You should relocate the women, children, the elderly and the weak as soon as possible."
Liang Youhai's tone was heavy. Although they had taken precautions in advance, the territory controlled by the Righteous Alliance was too large. Some monks who were hunting monsters outside could not receive any news at all. When they encountered a large number of monsters, few of them could come back alive.
"Okay, we will immediately relocate the women, children, the elderly and the weak."
Han Zhangxiang agreed. In fact, thanks to Han Debiao's news, they had already relocated the women, children, the elderly and the weak and were ready to fight the monsters. They were fully prepared.
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. Please accept this Wanli Note. If you encounter a fourth-level monster, ask us for help immediately and we will send people to support you. If you can't defeat a fourth-level monster, then retreat to Liuli Island. You cannot retreat to Haoran City without permission."
Liang Youhai took out a golden talisman and handed it to Han Zhangxiang.
Han Zhangxiang agreed and personally saw Liang Youhai off.
