Chapter 239 The Demonic Locust Taoist【5K】
In an instant, twenty-four formation flags flew out from the vast ocean. They emitted endless ocean patterns and continuously revolved around Ye Linyuan.
He took all these formation devices into his palm, and then couldn't help showing a trace of relief when looking at them.
This Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag was refined using water method, and its growth potential and speed are extremely fast. Over the years, it has continuously absorbed the power of the Renshui earth vein and the power of the sea to grow, and its quality has been greatly improved.
Up to now, although not all of them have been upgraded, half of them have been upgraded to medium-grade magic weapons.
With the blessing of half a mid-grade magic weapon, the power of the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag has been greatly improved. Although it is still far inferior to the rare magic weapon, its power is 30% stronger than the top-grade magic weapon.
Relying on the blessing of such magic weapons and formations, even if Ye Linyuan cannot defeat a late Jindan cultivator, he is still invincible when facing a powerful Jindan cultivator.
This is Ye Linyuan's greatest reliance, and it is also the trump card that allows him to face the plans of the Lord of Canghai Sect.
With the cultivation level of middle Jindan and this great formation, Ye Linyuan boasted that he was invincible in the middle Jindan realm. Even if the Teng Snake had broken through to the perfection of the middle Jindan realm, it would probably be on par with Ye Linyuan.
As for the flawed superior golden elixir of the Canghai Sect Master, even if he set up the Canghai magic formation to fight Ye Linyuan fairly, he would still be no match for Ye Linyuan.
"The cultivation has broken through, and the power of the formation has increased again."
"Next, it depends on whether Li Xuangeng can come up with the bait I want."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then put all his thoughts aside and began to prepare his people for the upcoming war.
"..."
Not long after, a locust plague reappeared in the Seven Domain Alliance.
This time, the locust plague swept in from the edge of the Xuanyuan Islands and swept towards the core of the Xuanyuan Islands on an astonishing scale.
"Why don't you take out the bait?"
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, then issued an edict, asking his clansmen to prepare to move to the Tianxing Islands.
As Ye Linyuan's decree spread, several figures in the depths of the sea showed indifference in their eyes.
"He really wants to run away."
A man in a yellow robe spoke up from the crowd, then looked at the man in white and asked, "Junior Brother Li, if that man is determined to escape, it may not be easy for him to stay."
If Ye Linyuan were here, he would naturally recognize that this person was Li Xuangeng.
At this time, Li Xuangeng's eyes darkened slightly, and then he looked at a gray-robed Taoist beside him and said, "Fellow Daoist Gray Whale, whether you can lure that Linyuan Taoist into the trap depends on your means."
Taoist Gray Whale was silent for a moment, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "It's not difficult to release the baby whale, but are you sure you can lure Ye Linyuan to take action?"
Li Xuangeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "From what I understand, Taoist Xuanyuan is a man of loyalty and righteousness. If he is sure he can protect himself, he will probably give it a try."
"It's not that I don't believe you."
Taoist Gray Whale was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Once the young whale is released, it will definitely leave its presence here. By then, the Sky Whale tribe will most likely attack the Seven Domain Alliance."
“If you fail to kill that Taoist Xuanyuan and a disaster occurs, don’t blame me.”
It turned out that Taoist Gray Whale had a young sky whale in his hand, which he captured using special means.
It has an extraordinary origin and belongs to the Sky Whale tribe outside the Seven Domain Alliance. Once a young Sky Whale shows its presence here, it will inevitably cause great trouble to the Seven Domain Alliance.
You must know that among the Sky Whale tribe, there are powerful beings in the late Jindan stage, which are invincible enemies for the Seven Domain Alliance.
When Li Xuangeng heard this, he couldn't help but remain silent for a moment. After all, he had been running the Canghai Palace for hundreds of years.
The Taoist in yellow robe didn't care about it. After all, he was not a member of the Seven Domain Alliance, so no matter how many casualties there were, it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Li Xuangeng pondering, the Taoist in yellow robe couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother Li, once you kill Ye Linyuan, you should retreat and break through to the late Jindan stage."
"When you break through to the late Jindan stage, why would you be afraid of that sky whale?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if the Sky Whales are invincible, you can just follow me to the Renshui Sea."
When Li Xuangeng heard this, he couldn't help but think of the True Spirit Teng Snake, the treasure token in Ye Linyuan's hand, and a certain legend in the Seven Domain Alliance.
After pondering for a long time, he said with a gloomy look: "Fellow Daoist Gray Whale, don't think too much. If you miss this opportunity, facing the protection of Taoist Xuanyuan, you may not be able to kill the enemy of the Great Dao."
When Taoist Gray Whale heard this, silence appeared in his eyes.
In fact, the three of them were able to get together and join forces to deal with Ye Linyuan because they each had their own purposes.
Among the three, Li Xuangeng wanted to break through to the late Jindan stage and also for the treasure house of Canghai Sect.
The Taoist in yellow robe is named Taoist Demon Locust, and he was Li Xuangeng’s former senior brother.
After the fall of the Haohai Sect, Li Xuangeng fled to the Seven Domain Alliance, while the Taoist Demon Locust hid his identity and practiced the art of taming insects, becoming the famous Taoist Demon Locust today.
In these years, the Taoist Demon Locust had no fixed place to live, and he drove the Soul-Eating Locusts around to plunder resources for his cultivation. Only then did he unknowingly reach the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
This time, Li Xuangeng paid a huge price to invite him here, and promised that he would get half of the treasure.
As for Taoist Gray Whale, he is the descendant of Elder Sky Whale who was in the late Jindan stage a thousand years ago. This person seemed to know many secrets of the Seven Domain Alliance, so he left the Seven Domain Alliance after breaking through the Jindan stage.
Over the years, he has been practicing outside the Seven Domain Alliance, and occasionally returns to the Seven Domain Alliance to make plans.
The superior martial art here, the Long Whale in the Sea, was actually secretly left behind by Taoist Gray Whale.
Over the years, Taoist Gray Whale has always been hiding in the dark. Whenever someone who practices the ancient scroll of the Great Whale of the Sea breaks through the Golden Core realm, he will quietly come back to strangle and devour the opponent.
Shui Hanqing is essentially also an enemy of Taoist Gray Whale's fellow practitioners. Otherwise Taoist Gray Whale would not have intervened.
Up to now, Taoist Gray Whale has hunted down several fellow practitioners, and his cultivation has reached perfection in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is only one step away from the late stage of the Golden Core.
Whether he can kill Shui Hanqing this time may be the key to his breakthrough to the late Jindan stage.
Thinking of this, Taoist Gray Whale finally made up his mind. He sneered and said, "In this case, I will release the young whale. It depends on whether Ye Linyuan dares to come out of seclusion."
"..."
As the three made up their minds, an injured young sky whale finally appeared in the Xuanyuan Sea.
He was exposed to the perception of the Golden Core Powerful One, and all of a sudden the entire nearby sea areas received the news, making the entire sea area boil.
The young Sky Whale has an extraordinary origin. It is a top-notch true spirit descendant and will definitely be able to reach the Golden Elixir realm when it grows up.
The sky whale in front of us is still young, and is only at the great perfection level of foundation building. Once we can tame it, won’t we be able to get a golden elixir mount?
Compared with other major forces, Ye Linyuan, who was in the Xuanyuan Sea, showed a hint of indifference.
"It is indeed a juvenile celestial whale, exactly as we calculated."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
In fact, Ye Linyuan had already known about the existence of the Gray Whale Taoist through clues.
After all, this is a living Jindan Zhenren. There are only a few Jindans in the Seven Domain Alliance every hundred years, and those who mysteriously disappear are even fewer.
He only needed to make a simple estimate, and based on the various information from the Seven Domain Alliance, he understood that this Gray Whale Taoist might have left the Seven Domain Alliance, but most likely did not die completely.
Now that the leader of Canghai Sect wants to hunt down Ye Linyuan, the best bait is Shui Hanqing's chance to become a Taoist.
Taoist Gray Whale practiced the Cang Hai Chang Whale Scroll and was able to imitate and transform into a celestial whale. Only he could capture a young celestial whale without anyone noticing.
"Li Xuangeng, Taoist Gray Whale, the Soul Devouring Demon King, and the person behind the locust plague."
"There are at least four people in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Li Xuangeng's move is really ruthless. If I fail to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, I am afraid I might be ambushed or even attacked by force on my Xuanyuan Island."
Ye Linyuan was thinking about it in his mind, and then summoned all the golden elixirs of the Ye family’s immortal clan.
Soon, all the Jindan cultivators of the Ye family gathered in the main hall of Xuanyuan Island. Ye Linyuan looked around at these Jindan masters and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
But in the hall, on the left side stood a Jindan monk.
They are Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Ye Chongyun, Ye Yingxu, and Ye Xuqiu, five great golden elixir masters.
On the right side are the Golden Core Demon Kings, namely Cangyue Bei, Douzhan Jinyuan, Hanchi Demon King, Fushan Ao, and Shuican, a total of five Golden Core Demon Kings.
Among these ten great Golden Core masters, Shuican's strength is only at the fake core level, and he is not worthy of the real Golden Core combat power, but the other nine are by no means weak.
Among these nine powerful men, the four golden elixir demon kings, Cangyue Bei, Douzhan Jinyuan, Hanchi Yaowang, and Fushan Ao, were the first to form the golden elixir. They have taken a large amount of blood elixirs over the years, and their cultivation has reached the fourth level of the golden elixir.
Among them, Han Chi and Dou Zhan Jin Yuan were both outstanding among the early Jin Dan demon kings, and their strength was at the same level as the Black Dragon Demon King. Cang Yue Bei's bloodline had initially recovered, and although its combat power was slightly weaker, it was not weak among the third Jin Dan level demon kings due to its recovered bloodline.
The bloodline of Fushan Ao has revived, and its defensive power is comparable to that of a mid-stage Jindan.
Among the human race, Ye Xuqiu is the strongest, having barely reached the combat power of a mid-stage Golden Core.
Ye Chongyun is at the third level of the Golden Core Realm, and his head-on combat capability is by no means weak.
Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi broke through later, but they were superior Jindan after all, and together they could barely fight against a mid-stage Jindan.
The last Ye Yingxu might not be considered a strong fighter in terms of direct combat capability, but once he pays a huge price to cast a spell to harm someone, it might not be difficult for him to kill a Jindan cultivator.
"Although they don't have the powerful combat power of a mid-stage Jindan, they should be enough to deal with an ordinary mid-stage Jindan."
Ye Linyuan estimated everyone's fighting power in his mind and couldn't help but show emotion.
Although Ye Linyuan had made great efforts to make the Ye family what it is today, he had to admit that the Ye family’s immortal clan in this life was truly extremely lucky.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan spent as much resources and treasures to cultivate his family as he does in this life, but in the end, he only had five golden elixirs.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Ye Linyuan often launched golden elixir wars, resulting in excessive loss of the family's golden elixir seeds.
In this life, Ye Linyuan mainly devoted himself to farming and cultivation, and seldom launched wars to plunder resources. Almost none of the golden elixir seeds in the family died halfway.
After improving in multiple dimensions such as spirit beasts and clan members, there were so many Jindan monks without anyone noticing.
Perhaps this has a lot to do with Ye Linyuan's major in spiritual plant skills, and also has a lot to do with the vision Ye Linyuan accumulated over thousands of years in his previous life.
But Ye Linyuan knew clearly in his heart that rotten mud could not be propped up. The Ye family's golden elixirs were able to successfully advance, and they probably had extraordinary resources, luck, and potential.
"With the ten great Jindan cultivators, plus guest officials like Song Qingming and the Golden Winged Demon King, our Ye family's foundation is enough to dominate the Seven Domain Alliance."
"It's time to fight and clean up the Seven Domain Alliance."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly. He knew clearly that after reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core, he would not be able to stay in the Seven Domain Alliance forever.
If he wants to break through the late Jindan stage, or even get a glimpse of the Yuanying realm in the future, he must step out of the Seven Domain Alliance and look at the vast Five Elements Sea. Only then will he have a chance to plan for the opportunity to form a Yuanying.
And if they want to take a look at the entire Five Elements Sea, they must at least completely suppress the other major forces so that they dare not have any ill intentions towards the Ye family and do not have to hide in the Seven Domain Alliance and fight with these Jindan forces.
Only in this way can we get out of the Seven Domain Alliance and deal with the major external forces with confidence and boldness.
At this moment, everyone present showed awe-inspiring expressions when they heard Ye Linyuan's words. The Ye family is now strong in both military and military power, and leaving aside the foundation of the Tianxing Sword Sect, it may already be the largest force in the Seven Domain Alliance.
With such strength, the Xuanyuan Ye family has finally shown its strength to let all the major forces see the strength of the Ye family.
"Everyone get ready."
"Pass the order down, go to sea and chase the whales immediately."
But seeing Ye Linyuan stood up, with his order, Ye Xuqiu, Ye Chongyun, Han Chi and other Jindan masters immediately took action, and went to the depths of the sea and began to hunt the sky whale cub.
Faced with the siege of several Jindan masters, the young whale had nowhere to escape and was eventually trapped in a shallow sea archipelago.
"..."
"This is it."
Outside the archipelago, four great Jindan masters, Ye Xuqiu, Ye Chongyun, Han Chi, and Douzhan Jinyuan, appeared out of nowhere and completely trapped that sky whale in the shallow sea.
At the same time, Shui Hanqing came with a sword, looked at the young sky whale calmly and said: "Let's fight fair. If I can't kill you, I will let you go."
The young sky whale's pupils condensed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Shui Hanqing's gaze was calm, but the calmness made Tianjing feel irritated. It felt that the person in front of it had some kind of absolute self-confidence.
She was confident that she could kill herself in a head-on battle with 100% certainty, so she didn't need anyone's help.
This made the Sky Whale angry. Although it was still young, it was also a proud descendant of the top true spirit species with noble blood flowing in its body. How could it tolerate being despised like this?
So it soared into the air with anger and pounced towards Shui Hanqing.
"Chong-"
As the sound of a sword rang out, Shui Hanqing drew his sword instantly.
An extremely dazzling sword light shot up into the sky, and a giant sword that covered the sky and the sun slashed down, heading straight for the head of the Sky Whale.
"The sword is full of vigor. This spell has indeed been cultivated to the level of pseudo-divine power."
In the void, the hidden Gray Whale Taoist couldn't help but speak, showing an expression of great surprise.
Although he had heard about it before, he still couldn't hide his excitement when he saw it with his own eyes.
As a practitioner of the ancient scroll of the Great Whale in the Sea, he knew best what this represented. It meant that Shui Hanqing would surely cultivate a superior golden elixir.
Taoist Gray Whale's cultivation has stagnated at the middle stage of the Golden Core for many years. If he kills his fellow practitioners who have just reached the Golden Core stage, there is only a small chance that he will be able to make up for his foundation and break through to the late stage of the Golden Core.
But it would be different if he could swallow a fellow practitioner who had cultivated a superior golden elixir. Once Shui Hanqing cultivated a superior golden elixir, Taoist Gray Whale would have at least a 50% chance of breaking through to the late stage of the golden elixir after swallowing it.
Once he reaches the late stage of the Golden Core, based on his remaining lifespan, he wouldn't dare to say that he can break through the ninth level of the Golden Core and reach the Nascent Soul stage, but there is still a chance that he can break through the eighth level of the Golden Core and plan for the False Infant stage.
Thinking of this, Taoist Gray Whale suppressed his desire to attack, looked at Li Xuangeng who wanted to attack, and said: "Wait until she kills the Sky Whale first."
Li Xuangeng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked at the battlefield and said, "If she kills Tianjing, I'm afraid Ye Linyuan might take her away."
"What if we get into a melee and the Sky Whale escapes?"
Taoist Gray Whale had an indifferent expression and spoke with a cold look in his eyes.
At this time, Taoist Demon Locust stopped the two from arguing and said, "Brother, don't worry. My Ten Thousand Locusts Formation is already prepared. I will definitely not let Ye Linyuan escape."
Li Xuangeng's eyes flickered for a while, and then he stopped the desire to attack.
Just as everyone was communicating, the battle was nearing its end. Shui Hanqing mastered the four pseudo-magical powers and was a top-notch fake pill fighter. Although the young Sky Whale had extraordinary blood, it was no match for her.
Several more Jindan guarded the four directions, completely blocking its retreat route.
Unable to defeat the enemy and unable to escape, the young Sky Whale eventually died on the battlefield.
"Om-"
The moment the Sky Whale fell, Shui Hanqing immediately absorbed the soul of the Sky Whale and instantly fled away.
But at this moment, an exquisite pagoda appeared between heaven and earth, and tens of thousands of second-level demon locusts fell from it.
At the same time, billions of demon locusts rose up from the ocean and gathered together with the second-order demon locusts to completely block the sea area.
"The Demonic Locust Formation."
The moment he saw these evil locusts, Ye Xuqiu frowned slightly, revealing an extremely solemn expression.
At the same time, the Taoist demon locust in yellow robes came down with the pagoda in his hand, looked at everyone calmly and said: "Taoist Xuanyuan, if you don't come out, I will kill all the Taoists and disciples."
"This evil locust is indeed a man-made disaster."
At the same time, Ye Linyuan strolled over and looked at the Taoist demon locust with a faint gaze.
The demon locust Taoist smiled, then put his hands together and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's time to come out."
As his words fell, figures appeared in the void and surrounded him.
Ye Linyuan looked around and saw Li Xuangeng and Taoist Minghu, the Red Flame Demon King and the Black Dragon Demon King, as well as the Luoxia Sect Master, and even the Blood Soul Old Ghost and the Yuehua Fairy.
At this time, the Blood Soul Taoist was wearing a blood-red robe and standing side by side with the Yuehua Fairy.
But he looked at Ye Linyuan and said with a gloomy look: "Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, don't blame me. He promised me that as long as I help him, he will help me and Su Yue."
Ye Linyuan nodded and asked calmly: "Do you believe what he said?"
The Blood Soul Taoist fell silent, but his gaze became firm again.
Ye Linyuan said no more. He knew in his heart that when it came to the life and death of his beloved, the Blood Soul Taoist had no other choice.
