After determining the next destination for the Celestial Clan, Ye Li looked at the remaining 500 or so Celestial Clan members and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This time you were trying to buy time for me, but in the end you suffered heavy losses, and many of your clansmen died in the battle."
As Ye Li spoke, there was a look of apology on his face.
Hearing his words, Qu Bieqing waved his hand and said, "Master, don't say that. It is our responsibility to help you.
Our thousands of years of inheritance is to help you before the catastrophe comes, and each of us is ready to make sacrifices.
It’s a pity that we were not able to completely hold them back this time, otherwise you would have absorbed all of their life force.
The life force left now may be taken away by the other party, bringing the catastrophe forward again."
Qu Bieqing sighed helplessly as he spoke.
Ye Li heard this and said: "This is not your problem, the strength of the Heavenly Soul Society is indeed too strong, you alone can't resist them.
The remaining life force they have collected should not be enough for two statues, so we should still have a chance.
The life force I obtained should be enough for me to practice in the Zhoushi Gourd for four or five months. With this time, I think I should be able to directly enter the realm of Fu Sheng.
Now let’s go to the East China Sea first, and I will take you to see my master.
I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know what the situation in Northern Xinjiang is like now. With your joining, our strength has been enhanced.
It won’t be that easy for the Heavenly Soul Society to deal with us. Our gradually growing strength will soon allow us to confront the Heavenly Soul Society head-on.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Qu Bieqing nodded, and his expression seemed to be a little relaxed.
… … … … … … …
On Huludao Island, people from the South China Sea gangs and the Tianhun Society have begun cleaning up the battlefield.
The people from the various gangs in the South China Sea were also excited at this time.
They have obtained a lot of resources. Even if they are divided among many gangs, each gang can make a lot of profit.
Ni Qing has returned to the team at this time, and his injuries are not serious.
Just as Ye Li had speculated before, Ni Qing pretended to be defeated on purpose so that Qu Bujin could withdraw his hand.
At this moment, he just stood aside and watched everyone celebrating. "Old Loach, now that the Celestial Clan has also left, what should we do? Brother Ye Li must have left with the Celestial Clan, and we don't know where they went."
Wu Jun on the side whispered to Ni Qing.
Ni Qing nodded and said, "In fact, I want to take the Tiandao Society with me. Qian Yuguan and the others should be determined to cooperate with the Tianhun Society. However, judging from the current situation, the strength of the Tianhun Society far exceeds ours.
If we really cooperate with them, we will be controlled by them sooner or later."
Wu Jun said: "Old Loach, do you know where Brother Ye Li went?"
Ni Qing glanced at Wu Jun and whispered, "Ye Li gave me a map before, and there was an island marked on it.
According to him, his master formed a Five Saints Alliance there, an organization specifically designed to deal with the Heavenly Soul Society.
He said that if we couldn't make it in the South China Sea, we could go there to find his master.
I think the Celestial Tribe might have followed him to the Five Sacred Alliance, and I am wondering whether I should bring the elite members of the Heavenly Sword Society with me."
Hearing his words, Wu Jun said: "People from our Tianding Gang can also go with us, I don't want to be controlled by the Tianhun Society.
Qian Yuguan and his gang are blinded by greed and will get themselves involved sooner or later. Judging from the strength of the Tianhun Society, they don't have to worry about anything at all.
Qian Yuguan and Sima Yue are not even qualified to be on equal footing with the other party. I don’t know where they get the confidence to dare to discuss cooperation with the other party.”
Wu Jun and Ni Qing had a clear view of the current situation. They understood that the gangs in the South China Sea could never be a match for the Tianhun Society.
The huge gap in power between the two forces means that they are not qualified to have an equal dialogue at all.
Just because the Tianhun Society has not taken any action yet doesn't mean they won't. On the contrary, in the eyes of Ni Qing and Wu Jun, it is only a matter of time before the Tianhun Society takes control of the South China Sea gangs that have suffered heavy losses.
While they were talking, Qian Yuguan was conversing with the elders of the Tianhun Society.
"Boss Qian, thank you for your hard work this time.
We will not touch the supplies of the Celestial Tribe, you can move them all back.
But the Pool of Life in the Holy Land belongs to us, and that was agreed upon from the beginning."
An elder of the Heavenly Soul Association said to Qian Yuguan. Qian Yuguan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't touch the Pool of Life. The supplies here are enough for us to use for a long time.
We are very happy to cooperate with you this time. I wonder if we will have the opportunity to cooperate with you again in the future?"
The elder of the Heavenly Soul Association smiled softly and said, "There should be a chance for us to cooperate again. After all, the strength of your Nanhai gangs is not bad, and they can at least add a few points to our strength."
As he was talking, a member of the Heavenly Soul Society hurried over and said, "Elder, we have found the location of the Pool of Life. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Upon hearing what the gang members said, the Tianhun Society elder's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he hurriedly followed them towards the hill behind the base.
Qian Yuguan did not follow them, but instead took people to clean up the battlefield. They would have to distribute the supplies of the Celestial Clan soon.
All the members of the Tianhun Society soon gathered at the entrance of the cave outside the holy land. Several elders, together with the First Talisman Saint, entered the cave and soon arrived at the Pool of Life.
The extremely rich life force in the Pool of Life really made the eyes of the Tianhun Society shine.
An elder of the Tianhun Society took out a statue of Dahuntian from his body and threw it into the pool.
This statue of Dahuntian was only recently cast, and it is the sixth statue.
If the seven statues are cast and they activate the formation, this world will be extinct within a month.
The statue of the Great Soul Heaven thrown into the pool by the elder of the Heavenly Soul Society began to frantically absorb the life force around it, and the green liquid in the pool of life began to drop almost instantly.
From this point of view, the speed at which the Great Soul Sky Statue devours life force is much faster than that of the Zhou Shi Gourd.
But soon, the people of Tianhun Society discovered something unusual. The life force in the Pool of Life seemed to be decreasing too quickly.
According to what they thought, the life force here was definitely enough to cast two statues. However, it now seemed that this life force could only guarantee the completion of one statue at most.
"Damn it, is the intelligence wrong? This is not the holy land of the Celestial Clan. The life force is not enough to infuse two statues!!!"
An elder of the Heavenly Soul Society said this through gritted teeth.
