The five factions of Haiyuan City attached great importance to this operation, and spent a great deal of manpower and financial resources to secretly draw together all the True Lords from various parties.

The troops were divided into three groups to attack and kill the defeated demon kings in Xuanming Sea. If they succeeded, it would almost determine the outcome of the war. For this purpose, the five factions emptied almost half of the masters of Haiyuan City.

Not to mention the demon clan, even for a human clan, the death of a Yuanying Zhenjun would be a major event that would destroy the clan and exterminate the entire clan.

Along the way, Liu Song Zhenjun of Huangji Sect gathered Li Bihua, the leader of Lonely Moon Alliance, Luo Laoren, the supreme elder of Huangji Sect, and Lu Cheng, the extremely famous Sanren Zhenjun.

In addition, Lu Chengfeng, Ling Xuzi, Fairy Miaoyin, and Grandma Huandu are also famous masters among the Nascent Soul middle-level cultivators. Lu Chengfeng is even considered to have the weaker magical powers among them, but his self-protection ability is stronger because of his dual cultivation of magic and body.

Zhenjun Liu Song and Wan Feiyu are good at planning but not strong in fighting, so they stay in the rear. At this moment, Lu Cheng and others are hiding under the deep sea and escaping quickly on the seabed. Although they are blocked by the waves, they are still escaping quickly.

“Master Lu, although the promises made by the five sects are great, it is extremely dangerous to go deep into the rear. I am willing to become your disciple and seek a way to survive.”

While escaping in the deep sea, Lu Cheng suddenly heard such a telepathic message.

Among the seven cultivators present, Li Bihua and Old Man Luo are of course from the five sects, Ling Xuzi and Fairy Miaoyin are from the five sects, and only Lu Cheng, Lu Chengfeng and Grandma Huandu are independent practitioners.

A wanderer is not the same as a wandering cultivator. The Haiyuan City in the Fiery Dharma Realm is where cultivators from all realms gather. Compared to the cultivators from the five sects, Lu Cheng is also a wanderer, but he has a master.

In fact, there are not many independent cultivators in Haiyuan City, or the number of independent cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage is far less than that of the cultivators in the sects.

Lu Cheng glanced over and saw an old woman wearing tattered linen clothes, with wrinkles all over her face and looking extremely kind.

But in fact, this Illusion Poison Grandma is not “kind” at all. She is a real casual cultivator who is proficient in illusion and poison techniques. She is a rare “poison cultivator”. In one battle, she poisoned and killed four Yuanying True Lords from other worlds, and she is notorious.

“Grandma, you are being polite. We are just looking out for each other. If we are fighting with swords, you can hide behind me and perform magic calmly.”

“Thank you for your care, Great Master. If we, the independent cultivators, don’t work together, we will probably be pushed out and become ashes.”

Lu Cheng and Grandma Huandu were being polite here, but in reality they would probably be more wary of each other in the future.

But when they really fight, they will also defend each other. It is difficult to tell whether they are enemies or friends at this time.

Half a month later, it was still at the bottom of the deep sea.

In order to avoid alerting the Xuanming Sea Monster King, even if they encountered many monster groups and fourth and fifth level monsters along the way, Lu Cheng and others did not take action. Instead, they used magic to become invisible and waited quietly for the other party to go away before continuing to act.

During the process, they encountered a fifth-order lantern fish with the ability to break illusions and invisibility. There was nothing they could do about it, so the seven of them joined forces to kill it instantly. In almost an instant, the fifth-order lantern fish turned into nothingness before even a drop of blood could dissipate.

Logically speaking, the trip should have gone very smoothly, but the closer he got to the destination, the more uneasy Lu Cheng felt.

“It’s too quiet and too smooth. In any case, the Xuanming Sea Monsters can’t be completely unaware of our Haiyuan City’s attack on them. But aren’t there too few movements of the monsters in our sea area?”

Suddenly, Li Bihua said this.

This nun was dressed in black and had skin as white as snow. Although her face was ordinary, she had a cold and unique temperament. As a female cultivator, she had been in charge of the huge Lone Moon Alliance for many years and her reputation remained undiminished. She had her own extraordinary qualities.

“The deep sea is so vast that even the movement of a large army is extremely difficult to detect.” said Lingxuzi Taoist of Fuhai Sect.

The five factions have paid a huge price for this battle. If they can succeed, they can directly establish victory, and those present can also gain huge benefits.

Nascent Soul cultivators are high and mighty, controlling almost all of a sect’s wealth, but the things they need are also extremely valuable.

For example, for cultivators who hope to achieve the Yuanshen, treasures that can assist in breaking through to the seventh-level Yuanshen are all priceless and extremely valuable, even if they can only increase the success rate of the breakthrough by 10% or 50%.

Moreover, it is difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators to accumulate mana, and there is almost no shortage of elixirs that increase mana. However, these elixirs are also very valuable. Therefore, even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Sects are eager to establish merits, obtain a large amount of resources from the sect, manage the sect, and make their own sect stronger. These are all reasonable.

Ling Xuzi was born in the Fu Hai Sect, and Fairy Miao Yin was born in the Fei Ling Sect. These two people have the same views and follow the lead of Old Man Luo.

“The spiritual sense of a monk will always alert us when we are in a dangerous environment or heading towards danger, but since we have come here, we cannot retreat for this reason. We should be more careful and continue exploring.”

Lu Cheng also felt something was wrong, but only slightly, and it might not be false. He glanced at Old Man Luo, and saw the white-browed Taoist moving forward without saying a word. He knew that the other party would never retreat because of this alert. Instead of ordering multiple gates to cause conflicts, it would be better to be more careful and cast more spells to explore.

After walking on the seabed for another fourteen days, the cultivators suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy. About four hundred miles to the southwest, several of the seven people who had practiced pupil techniques were already using them to observe and investigate. They saw the sky was covered with black clouds and lightning, and a green dragon was refining its body in the thunder tribulation, as if it was going through the tribulation.

No matter whether it is a human cultivator or a demon beast, after going through the heavenly calamity, their vitality will inevitably be severely damaged and their magic power will be greatly reduced. Moreover, this is the demon sea area, and there will most likely be a sixth-level demon king protecting the dragon near it.

This would certainly be enough on normal days, but today in front of the seven people from Lu Cheng, it was like fat meat delivered to their mouths.

“The outer sea is so vast, how could there just happen to be a dragon that survives the catastrophe on our way? No, let’s go!”

However, seeing this scene with his fiery golden eyes, Lu Cheng’s expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: “Go!”

There are no fools who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. Although the wisdom of high-level demon cultivators is not inferior to that of humans, they still lack some skills when playing tricks with human cultivators and end up making things worse.

Of the seven beams of light, three were using earth escape to drill deep into the earth, while four shot up into the sky. They drilled deep into the earth because humans were not good at earth escape, and the sea monsters were not good at it either.

The reason for flying high into the sky is that the speed of earth escape is too slow. If he is surrounded by more and more sea monsters, he will still die. It is better to break through the sea and escape into the air, using speed to fight speed. Maybe there will be more room for maneuver. After all, the cultivators are not completely surrounded.

Those who escaped into the earth were Lu Cheng, Lu Chengfeng and Li Bihua, while Old Man Luo, Ling Xuzi, Fairy Miaoyin and Grandma Huandu chose to fly through the air.

Boom, boom, boom, boom…

When the seven human cultivators chose not to hide anymore, the large formation secretly arranged by the Xuanming Siren Clan was also activated.

This formation covered a very wide area, obscuring the secrets of heaven and eliminating murderous intent. Immediately afterwards, a huge tornado that stretched from the sky to the earth rose up from the sea, shaking the clouds in the vast ocean.

“Hahahahahaha, Master Luo has been waiting for you for a long time!”

Seemingly extremely pleased, a merman with a human upper body and a fish lower body, with blue scales on his forehead and ears, and a halberd in his hand, walked out of the tornado with a Dharma body that controlled the heaven and the earth, majestic and boundless.

“The mermaids have made peace with the Xuanming Sea Monsters? Your mermaids have always been small in number, aren’t you afraid that my Haiyuan City will wipe out your entire clan?”

Old Man Luo summoned out seventy-two wooden flying swords to protect the four people. At the same time, Ling Xuzi, Fairy Miaoyin and Grandma Huandu also used their own methods to attack the mermaids and sea monsters that seemed to have suddenly appeared from another world from all directions.

“Let me meet this sea monster clan!” Grandma Phantom Poison laughed strangely, and the snake staff in her hand sprayed out dark green poisonous mist.

When the mist touched the water arrows shot by the mermaid, it condensed into a mirror-like barrier, which shot back hundreds or thousands of water arrows. Anyone who touched it would be injured, and anyone who was touched would die.

The fishy and salty sea breeze was mixed with a deadly bone-rotting poison. As soon as a meter-long sea snake emerged from the water, the scales on its body began to rot and peel off at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ling Xuzi’s Taoist robe fluttered like clouds, and the thunder pattern seal on his palm suddenly lit up. The sound of rolling thunder came from the sky, and then seven purple lightning bolts pierced through the clouds like dragons and snakes, accurately striking the mermaid priest who was looming in the waves in the distance.

The defensive robe on the mermaid exploded into pieces, and the water-controlling spell on the coral staff in his hand, which had not yet been fully raised, suddenly dissipated.

The fairy of wonderful music, Sang Fanyan, stroked the guzheng with her slender fingers, and the thirty-six icy strings moved without wind. The clear and melodious music turned into a physical sound blade, and wherever it passed, the sea water split as if encountering a natural moat.

Two giant black-armored turtles that were controlling the water tornado crashed into the sea with a loud bang, and the dense array patterns on their carapaces were shattered by the sound waves.

“You humans are greedy, vicious and cruel. If you make peace with the Mysterious Sea Monster, my race can at least continue. If you make peace with your Haiyuan City, within a thousand years, there will be no mermaids from the South Sea in this world!”

The gigantic mermaid spoke with hatred and swung its halberd without hesitation.

“Wooden dragon coiling around the mountain!” Old man Luo bit his tongue and sprayed the blood essence he forced out onto the core of the sword formation. The seventy-two flying wood swords suddenly roared like dragons, and instantly intertwined into the shadows of towering ancient trees, with gnarled roots piercing into the void, and thousands of green rays shot out from the swaying branches and leaves. The wood spirit transformed by the sword intent frantically absorbed the power of the water spirit, and the mermaids hit by the green rays were horrified to find that the demonic power in their bodies was being rapidly absorbed and devoured.

Thousands of wooden dragons suddenly jumped out from under the sea, entangled the halberd of the mermaid and swung it out.

Boom, boom, boom.

The huge magical power collided, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the entire sea, and even the entire sky seemed to be shaking in this huge magical power collision.

The Nascent Souls are fighting, the sky is tilted for a hundred miles, this is the depths of the vast ocean, and the disaster will spread for thousands and tens of thousands of miles.
