Chapter 114: Finally got the chance [5K]
"Can--"
Su Shaoyu nodded, and then said directly: "After the matter is completed, the Bright Moon Pearl will be yours, and the Bright Moon Shell will be mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shaoyu used all his strength to activate the shortcut spell, manifesting a giant whale from the sea that struck in all directions, suppressing the blood puppets and preventing them from getting close.
At the same time, Xuanling Sanren suddenly sacrificed a talisman, which manifested an extremely hot red-gold sun falling down, and blasted towards the red-hearted blood puppet that was fighting against the giant whale in the sea.
"Second-level spiritual talisman, setting sun molten gold."
Ye Linyuan, who was hiding in the dark, moved his eyes slightly and recognized the origin of this talisman.
This is a second-level, mid-grade talisman, which contains an extremely powerful Taoist magic. It seems to have been left behind by a monk who has achieved a high level of Taoist cultivation, and only has a portion of the power of the original.
But even so, this talisman still exerted a huge effect. It was like a red-gold sun smashing down, completely suppressing the Red-Hearted Blood Puppet on the spot.
The Red-Hearted Blood Puppet could still resist with its powerful body, but those inferior disposable Blood Puppets would have their bodies shattered by this blow.
After this attack, the Red Heart Blood Puppet was completely suppressed for a while. The two of them retreated decisively, wanting to snatch the Bright Moon Shell and leave quickly, but it was a pity that it was already difficult to fulfill their wish.
"call out--"
At the same time, Ye Linyuan seized the opportunity to take action.
In an instant, a golden edge shot out and pierced into the center of the eyebrows of the Red Heart Blood Puppet.
This blood puppet is very powerful, but it has been severely damaged by the suppression of the giant whale and the second-level talisman. It has no chance to dodge the sudden attack of the Geng golden needle.
After just one encounter, Geng's golden needle pierced through his forehead and killed him there.
"who is it?"
Faced with the sudden change, Xuanling Sanren and Su Shaoyu asked in great shock and anger.
What responded to them was the sound of surging waves. Under the moonlight, twelve formation flags rose into the air, spinning and attracting surging sea water to flood them.
In an instant, the surging sea water rolled in, turning an area of hundreds of feet into a vast ocean, trapping them in it and making it difficult for them to escape.
At the same time, a figure in a black robe strolled out under the moonlight, calmly came to the core of the formation, and collected the Bright Moon Shell along with the Soul Binding Net that trapped it.
After taking the Bright Moon Shell, Ye Linyuan hid in his black robe, looked at Xuanling Sanren and Su Shaoyu, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Thank you both for your help, otherwise I would not be sure to capture the blood puppet."
"How dare you, a person who hides his head and shows his tail, try to steal this rare treasure?"
Su Shaoyu's eyes turned cold and he immediately urged the giant sea whale to attack Ye Linyuan.
But at this moment, the water from the surrounding sea swept in and knocked the giant whale flying backwards.
The original Yuanchen Water Controlling Flag could hardly have such a huge suppression against the near-path magic, but Ye Linyuan cleverly used the Taiyin Shehua Formation here to integrate the Yuanchen Water Controlling Flag into it, using the power of part of the formation pattern.
Even if only a small part of the power of the formation pattern was utilized, the power of the Yuanchen Water Control Flag was greatly increased, and the suppressing power on everyone was also greatly enhanced.
So when facing the Yuanchen Water Control Array at this time, Su Shaoyu and Xuanling Sanren actually felt that it was difficult to confront it head-on.
They felt suppressed by the formation, and could only exert 60% to 70% of their own strength. Even the shortcut spells were suppressed to a certain extent.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Seeing Ye Linyuan display such powerful means, Xuanling Sanren's expression became more solemn and he couldn't help but ask.
Ye Linyuan's expression was exceptionally calm. He reached out his hand to take the Moonlight Mirror, looked at Su Shaoyu calmly and said, "Hand over the Enlightenment Flower, and I will spare your life."
"impossible."
Su Shaoyu showed a look of rage, and immediately used all his strength to drive the giant sea whale to attack Ye Linyuan.
Faced with such an attack, Ye Linyuan showed a hint of coldness, but he activated the Twelve Yuanchen Formation to suppress the two people, and then with a flick of his sleeves, a bright moon rose up.
In an instant, a bright moon rose into the sky and transformed into three thousand moon blades that whistled down.
"You dare!"
Faced with such powerful means, Su Shaoyu was unable to resist on his own and was immediately beaten back.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Shaoyu looked at Xuanling Sanren and said, "If you don't take action now, when will you take action?"
"Om-"
Xuanling Sanren made his move instantly, and a bright moon rose into the sky behind his head. An illusory immortal walked out of the moon and slashed towards Ye Linyuan with a sword in hand.
The sword was sharp and had the power to sweep across the world. It stabbed straight at Ye Linyuan's forehead.
"Returning on the moon is indeed a superior skill."
Ye Linyuan smiled calmly and waved his sleeves to animate the bright moon in his palm.
In an instant, another three thousand moonlight swords whizzed down and shot towards the two of them like raindrops.
The two sides only fought once, and Ye Linyuan activated the Nine Skies Bright Moon more than ten times in succession, and actually suppressed the two men so that they could not raise their heads.
I have to admit that the combination of the Nine-Sky Bright Moon, the Autumn Sky and the Yuanchen Water Controlling Flag is indeed powerful.
Yuan Chen's water-controlling flags set up a formation that could suppress the speed and strength of the two. Jiuxiao Mingyue's main attack was enough to completely suppress the two so that they couldn't raise their heads.
However, it consumes a lot of mana to activate the Jiuxiao Mingyue and Yuanchen Water Control Flag at the same time. Once a stalemate occurs, you may face a situation of insufficient mana.
However, this shortcoming was compensated by the shortcut magic of Qiu Shui Chang Tian. At this time, Ye Linyuan kept activating the formation flags and Jiuxiao Mingyue, and his magic power was almost inexhaustible.
The strength of the two recent geniuses was astonishing, but they were still suppressed by Ye Linyuan and could not even raise their heads.
If he continued to fight like this, Ye Linyuan would only need to hold on for another quarter of an hour to completely kill the two of them.
But at this moment, Ye Linyuan's brows slightly frowned, and a hint of coldness appeared: "It came very quickly."
In an instant, Ye Linyuan didn't bother to delay any longer and decisively took out the Geng gold needle and stabbed it towards Su Shaoyu's forehead.
If this Geng Jin needle is used as a sneak attack, it can often have the effect of defeating the enemy in one blow. The strength of the Red Heart Blood Puppet is almost comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage, making the two nearby geniuses completely helpless. However, they are still killed in one blow by the Geng Jin needle's sneak attack.
But if the other party is on guard, the deterrent effect of the Gengjin needle will be greatly reduced.
Su Shaoyu had been prepared for this move and tried his best to dodge and activate magic weapons to resist, making it difficult for Ye Linyuan to kill him in an instant.
Ye Linyuan didn't want to waste time, so he could only spread out the Geng golden needles, turning them into nine golden needles that crossed and stabbed towards Su Shaoyu.
After being divided into nine, the deterrent power of Geng Jin Zhen was greatly reduced, but the difficulty of resisting it also continued to increase. With the suppression of the Taotian Moonlight Sword, it finally left several deep scars on his body that could be seen to the bone.
The most important thing is that Su Shaoyu was seriously injured and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"enough."
After this move, Ye Linyuan casually collected the essence blood and twelve formation flags, and then went directly to the distant sea. In an instant, he disappeared into the endless ocean.
"Why would he let us go?"
Ye Linyuan's sudden departure surprised the two.
Su Shaoyu couldn't help but reveal a look of doubt. According to his estimation, the magic power of the two of them was now severely depleted. As long as Ye Linyuan could hold on for a while longer, he would be able to kill them all.
But Ye Linyuan suddenly gave up killing them, which made him feel a little confused.
But soon, their expressions changed drastically, and the Xuanling Wanderer instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sea.
Su Shaoyu also reacted and jumped directly into the ocean, and soon dived into the vast deep sea.
Just twenty or thirty breaths after the few people left, several bright lights from the sky pierced through the void and appeared on the island one after another.
The three foundation-building monsters and the three foundation-building monks from the Qinghe Immortal Sect also rushed here. They all looked at the ruined Xuanling Island with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
At the same time, another sword light broke through the air from the sky, and Minghuang Jianzi appeared above the sky holding two broken puppets. A deep coldness appeared on his originally calm face.
"..."
"so close."
Under the sea, Ye Linyuan immediately used the Turtle Breathing Technique to cover up his own breath, and then he took a deep breath.
Recalling the experience of this trip, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile. In this situation, he had seized the perfect opportunity to make his move, and that was the only chance for him to succeed.
If he had acted a moment earlier, he would have been caught in a melee and it would have been difficult for him to find the opportunity to take the Moonlight Shell and the Moonlight Mirror.
If they had acted a moment later, the two nearby geniuses would have taken advantage of the suppression of the Red Heart Blood Puppet and directly divided the Bright Moon Shell and Bright Moon Pearl and left.
After all, the Red Heart Blood Puppet is a powerful blood puppet close to the foundation-building stage. If they still divide the spoils unevenly, the only result will be that they will be defeated one by one by the Red Heart Blood Puppet.
After all, this is the trump card left by the old ghost Xuehun. Facing the two geniuses, he is naturally sure of absolute suppression.
So the two of them would definitely not stay, they would just divide the Moonlight Shell and escape instantly.
If he had acted a little later, or if he had fought with the two for another thirty breaths, he would most likely have been caught by those foundation-building monks.
"In this situation, it only took me less than a hundred breaths from the time I made my move to the time I left."
"It can be said that it is like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire. The process is dangerous and unpredictable."
"Fortunately, everything is going as planned."
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile. Although he didn't defeat Xuan Ling Sanren and Su Shaoyu in this battle, it was still a great harvest for him.
Thinking of this, he put his thoughts away and then went quietly to the Qinghe Islands.
It has to be said that Qiu Shui Chang Tian's water-attributed shortcut spell is indeed extraordinary. This spell allows Ye Linyuan to travel very quickly between the seabed and the sea surface, and it can also cover up the water fluctuations during the travel.
He can even obtain oxygen by refining seawater, allowing him to remain submerged in the seawater without having to surface to breathe.
Generally speaking, if there is no special magic practiced, the maximum time that an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator can dive on the seabed at one time should not exceed one hour.
With the help of this magic, Ye Linyuan quickly swam hundreds of miles and basically escaped from the danger range.
Ye Linyuan wandered in the open sea for several days until he arrived outside the Qinghe Islands, and then he waited for the fleet returning from the battle.
Compared to the high spirits when they started the war, the fleet was in a dilapidated state when they returned. There were more than 800 ships of various sizes, and basically most of them showed various signs of damage.
Ye Linyuan found the Ye family's treasure ship from the fleet, and then returned to the treasure ship quietly.
When the people of the Ye family saw Ye Linyuan, they immediately showed joy and asked, "How was the trip?"
"I encountered a sea beast that had reached the peak of Qi Refining in the deep sea. I paid a huge price to escape."
Ye Linyuan opened his mouth slowly, revealing a bitter smile.
Everyone was slightly shocked when they saw this. Zhou Yuwan couldn't help but asked nervously, "Are you injured?"
"No problem. You all know my healing methods."
Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then warned: "In order to avoid exposing my strength, you must not tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry, we will keep it a secret."
Everyone looked solemn and kept the matter firmly in their hearts.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan came into the cabin with Old Man Ye, and said calmly, "This trip was a good harvest."
Old Man Ye seemed to have guessed something, and then he said, "You are a big shot, so you don't need to tell me some secrets."
"Ah."
Ye Linyuan nodded, without further discussing the matter, and just smiled and said, "After this situation, the day when our Ye family will rise is getting closer and closer."
"I think maybe one day, your greatest wish in life will come true."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Ye was immediately surprised.
His greatest hope in this life is to be able to see Ye Linyuan complete his foundation building with his own eyes before he dies.
Now that Ye Linyuan told him this, doesn’t it mean that Ye Linyuan has obtained the key opportunity to build his foundation?
At this moment, Old Man Ye showed an expression of great ecstasy, but he still suppressed the question in his heart, because he understood that such treasures were too precious. Once he really asked, it would probably lead to some unnecessary variables.
For things like this, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
But he took a deep breath, then held Ye Linyuan's hand tightly, and clapped his hands expectantly.
A feeling of silent encouragement and support surged into Ye Linyuan's heart at this moment.
In a trance, Ye Linyuan thought of his previous life, and his grandfather who paid a huge price to obtain rare treasures for him.
Fortunately, Ye Linyuan did not disappoint his grandfather's expectations in his previous life, and finally succeeded in breaking through to the Golden Core realm, promoting the Ye family of Chilong Mountain to the Golden Core Immortal Clan.
At that time, my grandfather’s biggest wish was to witness Ye Linyuan’s successful breakthrough to the Golden Elixir stage.
Unfortunately, his grandfather in the previous life died early and did not witness Ye Linyuan’s rise to become a great Jindan master.
"In this life, there will be no such regrets again."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
"..."
The Ye family's treasure ship continued to move forward with the fleet, and after several days it returned to Qinghe Xianfang.
They docked the treasure ship and waited for the Qinghe Immortal Sect to count the results of the battle and for the day to reward the meritorious service.
Regarding this war, Qinghe Xianmen is not too concerned about the spoils of its subordinate forces, so it will not investigate the spoils of its subordinate forces.
Because they know very well that as long as these forces under their command have enough money, it will eventually flow back to Qinghe Immortal Sect through various means.
Moreover, after this battle, the Qinghe Islands suffered a loss of more than 70% of their monks and are now facing a serious population shortage. It is not yet time to severely exploit them.
On the third day, Qinghe Xianmen finally completed its repairs and began to calculate the merits for its subordinate forces.
When it comes to counting military achievements, the Qinghe Immortal Sect has two methods.
The first one is for the subordinate forces to hand over treasures, as well as captured monster heads or key materials, and then divide them according to the strength of the monsters, and calculate the merits based on the handed-in treasures.
The second method is to calculate merits based on the battles participated in. For example, if you participate in the Roundabout Island Battle, you will get thirty merits in the early stage of Qi training, one hundred merits in the middle stage of Qi training, and three hundred merits in the late stage of Qi training.
Those who participated in the Wuyun Island War could also obtain certain merits.
The Ye family did not show their full strength and only handed over a small portion of the materials from the killed monsters, but in the end they still received more than 3,300 merits.
According to the price given by Qinghe Immortal Sect, one hundred merits is equivalent to one spirit stone, which adds up to a value of thirty-three spirit stones.
Of course, Qinghe Immortal Sect will not really give spirit stones, but will use low-level elixirs, magic tools, skills, materials, spirit veins, etc. as exchange.
Of course, for those who participated in the war, these are not the main things. What they want most is the opportunity to break through the realm, and the second is to exchange for spiritual veins or join the Qinghe Immortal Sect.
According to the price given by Qinghe Immortal Sect, one hundred merit points can be exchanged for an opportunity to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.
One thousand points is a threshold. This merit can be exchanged for a Blue Crane Immortal Order, a chance to break through to the late stage of Qi training, or the purchase of a low-grade spiritual eye. Three thousand points of merit can be exchanged for a mid-grade spiritual eye.
For the Qinghe Immortal Sect, now that a large number of cultivators have died, there are hundreds of spirit veins left behind, which can be sold to these low-level cultivators.
In order to purchase these spiritual veins, or exchange for the opportunity to break through their cultivation, most of these independent cultivators and family cultivators would take out all the treasures they had seized, and there was no need for them to search and explore one by one.
"I didn't expect that so many of you would come out alive."
The one who counted the military achievements for the Ye family was the former tenth elder, now the seventh elder, Yu Dao Ren.
In this battle, three elders of Qinghe Immortal Sect died. Elder Yu was able to survive because he stayed in Qinghe Islands. He turned a disaster into a blessing and became the seventh elder.
He personally counted the Ye family's military achievements, and then smiled and looked at Ye Linyuan and asked: "It seems that you still have a good opportunity."
"Thanks to our master, we were able to leave the island at the last minute and avoid the most dangerous disaster."
Ye Linyuan spoke with a serious expression, revealing a hint of fear.
Taoist Yu nodded, then sighed and said, "In this battle, our Qinghe Immortal Sect also suffered heavy losses, but fortunately several of our ancestors are still safe."
