Half a day later, Ou Sheng brought back the news that Phoenix Village was preparing to set off late at night a day later.
Ye Tian and Zhou Long were both a little excited when they heard this.
"This time there are three elders leading the team, and fifteen deacons of the tenth level of the Martial King are participating. The remaining casual cultivators of the Martial King and Martial Lord levels total more than 10,000 people." Ou Sheng said somewhat gloomily.
Seeing that something was wrong with his expression, Zhou Long couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"That guy Yu Huaxiong is leading the team this time, hum!" Ou Sheng snorted slightly.
"It's him!" Zhou Long frowned, his face also a little ugly.
"What? Do you have anything to do with him?" Ye Tian looked at their faces, suddenly made a guess, and said with a smile.
"This guy is so despicable and shameless!" Ou Sheng cursed.
Ye Tian looked at Zhou Long, who hesitated for a moment and then explained: "Yu Huaxiong was originally our senior and took good care of us after we joined Phoenix Village. However, we encountered danger once while training outside. But they didn’t hesitate to treat us as cannon fodder and leave alone.”
"You are a hypocrite. If we hadn't been lucky, we would have died a long time ago." Ou Sheng sneered.
"Well, if it hadn't been for that, even we wouldn't be able to imagine that an elder who was upright and kind in front of others could be so dirty behind his back!" Zhou Long sighed.
Ye Tian suddenly understood what Ou Sheng and Zhou Long were worried about. A hypocrite like Yu Huaxiong naturally didn't want his true identity to be discovered, so he probably wouldn't let Zhou Long and Ou Sheng go.
"By the way, brother, has Yu Huaxiong done anything to you in the past few years?" Zhou Long suddenly asked.
"Why not?" Ou Sheng snorted coldly when he heard this, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you. If he hadn't planned to assassinate me, I wouldn't have had such an unexpected encounter due to fate, and my cultivation level has skyrocketed. Hehe!"
"Over the years, he has always wanted to kill me. It's a pity that I got a lot of treasures because of that adventure. I didn't need to leave Phoenix Island at all. I just cultivated to the tenth level of the Martial King on the island. After reaching the tenth level of the Martial King, he wanted to deal with me again. It's not that simple for me, unless he takes action himself. But..."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ou Sheng's mouth, and he mocked: "But I have been prepared for it. I carry a teleportation mirror with me. As long as he dares to attack me, he can't hide it from the people in Phoenix Village."
"Teleporting mirror!" Zhou Long said in surprise, "The price of this thing is not cheap, you are really ruthless."
"There is no other way. In order to save my life, I can only do this." Zhou Long chuckled and said: "You didn't see that scene. I took out the teleportation mirror in front of Yu Huaxiong, and this guy's face changed. It’s so fast, hehe, it’s really a shame for his acting skills, haha!”
"It's really yours!" Zhou Long could imagine that scene and couldn't help laughing.
"What is the teleportation mirror you are talking about?" Ye Tian listened a little confused. This was the first time he had heard of this teleportation mirror. It seemed very mysterious.
"Young Master Ye has never heard of teleportation mirror?" Ou Sheng stared at Ye Tian in shock, as if it was the first day he met Ye Tian, his face full of disbelief.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "What? What's so mysterious about this thing?"
"See for yourself!" Ou Sheng said nothing more after hearing this, but took out a palm-sized blue mirror. A burst of light burst out from it, and then Ye Tian saw a familiar picture appear in the mirror.
"Hey, isn't this us?" Ye Tian stared at the teleportation mirror with wide eyes, and saw Ye Tian reflected in the mirror with a look of surprise on his face. However, unlike ordinary mirrors, it will have a radius of one kilometer around it. The scene inside appears very clearly.
"The teleportation mirror is divided into a main mirror and a auxiliary mirror. Mine is the main mirror, and I put the auxiliary mirror with the village master. As long as I open the main mirror, the scene within one mile with me as the center will be clearly transmitted to the auxiliary mirror. "Inside." Ou Sheng said with a smile, and then put away the teleportation mirror.
"Tsk, tsk, this is the first time I have seen such a strange thing." Ye Tian was amazed. He finally understood the reason why Yu Huaxiong did not dare to deal with Ou Sheng personally. With such a treasure in hand, Yu Huaxiong dared to do it. If so, the leader of Phoenix Village will know about it immediately.
"This thing can only save lives. Apart from that, it has no other uses. It's really expensive!" Zhou Long looked distressed. Such a precious treasure cannot be afforded by casual cultivators like them. , I'm afraid Ou Sheng spent a lot of money.
"Since you have this thing, you won't be afraid of being harmed by Yu Huaxiong during this trip." Ye Tian said.
Ou Sheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. Yu Huaxiong can kill people with borrowed swords. This battle will definitely be extremely chaotic. There's no telling if he will attract a strong man of the Martial Emperor level to fight against him." I take action."
"Yes, the battle between tens of thousands of people was very chaotic. He immediately launched an attack. Even if the village leader had a mirror in his hand, it would be difficult to distinguish." Zhou Long also worried.
"Then you don't want to participate in this mission." Ye Tianwen suggested.
"no!"
"How can it be?"
To Ye Tian's surprise, Zhou Long and Ou Sheng both refused.
The two looked at each other, and Ou Sheng said: "Master Ye, I can see that you don't look like a casual cultivator at all. You don't understand the difficulties of a casual cultivator at all. If you don't work hard to earn spiritual stones, you will not be able to do anything." With our hard work, I’m afraid we won’t be able to be promoted to the Martial Emperor in this life. This has nothing to do with talent, the resources are too scarce.”
"Rogue cultivators are just for adding blood to the tip of the knife. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to get ahead in this life." Zhou Long also had a determined look on his face. Even though he knew that this trip was dangerous, he was unwilling to give up.
"It's too difficult to wait for a merchant ship mission. With my strength, if I work hard this time, I can earn at least a thousand high-grade spiritual stones. This is something I can't get in exchange for many missions." Ou Sheng's eyes were hot, he It's not that far away from the Martial Emperor realm. If you gain a lot this time, you might be able to advance to the half-step Martial Emperor realm.
"In that case, let's get ready!" Seeing their determined faces, Ye Tian knew that it was useless to persuade them, so he had no choice but to leave it alone.
In fact, Ye Tian was not like this. For the sake of spiritual stone cultivation, he decided not to hide any of his strength this time.
…
The main palace of Phoenix City.
A woman in smart clothes was sitting on a white jade bed. Opposite her, a young woman in white clothes was sitting in a wheelchair.
The two women's eyes met each other, and a ray of brilliance bloomed instantly, making people dare not look directly at them.
"Yes, it seems that you practice very hard and have not delayed your practice because of these mundane matters." The young woman in white on the wheelchair said with a smile and appreciation.
"Compared with you, sister, you are still far behind." The woman in fine clothes curled her lips and said.
"Haha, my legs are useless, and I can only rely on practicing to pass the time every day, but I didn't expect that my cultivation will improve so fast because of this." The young woman in white smiled softly, feeling a little proud.
"Okay, please stop attacking me. What do you think of the Lin Nan Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship this time?" asked the woman in well-dressed clothes.
"What a coincidence!" The young woman in white raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.
"You think so too?" The woman in the well-dressed outfit smiled knowingly.
"It seems that someone has come up with some bad idea again, hum!" the young woman in white snorted coldly.
"It's such a big mistake in the Haze Strait. He hasn't thought about practicing all day long, but he has been thinking about some conspiracies. It seems that if he is not taught a lesson, he will not understand who is the king in this Haze Strait." The well-dressed woman stood up with a heroic look on her face.
"Are you going to take action yourself?" The young woman in white looked at the well-dressed woman in surprise. She knew this sister's character very well. Once she took action, she would act resolutely and sweep it all away.
"He's gone too far!" The well-dressed woman snorted with a cold look on her face: "A few days ago, I discovered that he was colluding with some 'outsiders'. He is no longer worthy of being a casual cultivator."
"Okay, I'm on Phoenix Island, you take action personally this time!" The young woman in white narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and a cold light shot out.
"It seems that sister understands what I mean, haha!"
The well-dressed woman smiled.
…
In a mansion not far from the city lord's palace, Yu Huaxiong sat on a futon and opened a pair of old eyes.
"Zhou Long, I didn't expect that your boy could come back alive. He's just a seventh-level Martial King. I don't take you seriously at all."
"Hmph, this time, I want to see if you guys can come back alive."
After snorting coldly, Yu Huaxiong stretched out his right palm, and a light suddenly flashed in his palm, and a blue mirror appeared.
If Ye Tian were here, he would recognize this mirror as a teleportation mirror.
I saw Yu Huaxiong's lips moving. After a moment, he carefully put away the teleportation mirror and said with a sneer: "Everything is under my control, haha!"
…
A day flies by in the blink of an eye.
In the evening of the next day, all the casual cultivators from Phoenix Village who participated in this operation had gathered in a huge square on Phoenix Island.
The leaders were the three elders of Phoenix Village, namely Yu Huaxiong, Zhang Qinfei, and Luo Hai.
Ye Tian received news from Ou Sheng that among the three elders, Yu Huaxiong had the highest cultivation level, reaching the third level of the Martial Emperor, while Zhang Qinfei, like Luo Hai, was also the second level of the Martial Emperor.
"Tsk, tsk, there are even those at the fourth and fifth levels of Martial Lord. They are really not afraid of death." Ye Tian suddenly saw some casual cultivators of Martial Lord level in the crowd and couldn't help but shook his head.
"If their cultivation level is low and they don't dare to fight hard, then they will have to stay in the Martial Lord realm for the rest of their lives and will not be able to move forward. Alas, they can't help it. We casual cultivators all came here like this." Zhou Long nodded in understanding. He and Ou Sheng were like this before.
"If you are not a disciple of a powerful sect, this path of martial arts is indeed difficult." Ye Tian also sighed.
The gap between the casual cultivators and the disciples of the big sect is too big. As long as the disciples of the big sect practice every day, they will naturally have a supply of spiritual stones, but the casual cultivators need to work hard to earn spiritual stones.
Such a gap makes the disciples of the sect become stronger and stronger, while the casual cultivators become weaker and weaker.
In the end, a situation like Three Sword Sea was formed, and the casual cultivators could only huddle in the foggy strait and rely on the mercy of the three sects to survive.
