Chapter 667 Storm in the Eastern Region
"Tell me about it." Xiao Lin had a noncommittal expression on his face.
When the old man surnamed Gu heard the words, he was silent for a while, seeming to sort out his words. After a moment, he said: "Two days ago, I saw the immortal light of the immortal master overflowing. He has already reached the state of integrating with the heaven and the earth. I think senior The realm is at least the late stage of Jindan, right?"
When Xiao Lin heard this, he just nodded and said nothing. Immortal cultivators and mortals in the Eastern Territory lived together, and many mortals knew the immortal cultivators very well.
What's more, the Gu family is one of the three major body-refining families in Hanyuan Immortal City, and the knowledge of the children in the family is far beyond that of ordinary mortals.
Seeing Xiao Lin admitting his identity as a golden elixir cultivator, the old man surnamed Gu was secretly happy, but on the surface he became more and more respectful. After a slight hesitation, he began to talk about what he wanted.
It turns out that in the past twenty years, the Eastern Territory has become increasingly unstable, and the demon clan in the Ten Thousand Monsters Outer Sea has begun to make moves. The section of their journey to Xiaoyu Island now belongs to the outer sea area.
However, most of the islands along the way are occupied by humans, and they are also dotted with dozens of large and small sects. It can be said that the forces are intricate.
In this sea area, true-level monsters still often appear, but higher-level emperor-level monsters rarely appear.
Therefore, they were not worried about monsters along the way, but what worried them was man-made disasters.
Especially in an archipelago thousands of miles away, there is a small demonic sect-Ghost Face Sect. People in the sect usually wear ghost masks, and according to their status in the sect, they are divided into green ghosts, green ghosts, There are three types: green ghost and red ghost.
Among them, there are mostly green ghosts, most of whom are in the Qi Refining Stage. Green ghosts are disciples of the Ghost Face Sect in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Red ghosts are relatively rare, but as long as they appear, their passing merchant ships will basically be robbed. Empty.
Maybe even his own life is at stake. For this reason, the disciples of the Five Elements Alliance also went to encircle and suppress them for a period of time, but with little success. The people of the Ghost Face Sect are also very cunning. Zero is hidden on countless islands within a radius of thousands of miles.
And there are countless mortals and low-level immortal cultivators living on these islands, and they are in a mixed zone where fish and dragons are mixed, so the Ghost Face Sect still often comes out to make trouble to this day.
The Gu family originally hired a golden elixir monk to accompany the fleet of materials transported this time. However, before leaving, the golden elixir monk suddenly had something to do, and the ship schedule could not be delayed. As a last resort, the Gu family had no choice but to Several middle-level and high-level body refiners were dispatched to accompany him for protection.
The purpose of the old man surnamed Gu coming to see Xiao Lin was very clear. He hoped that Xiao Lin could replace the Jindan monk who was temporarily busy and stay on their ship for a period of time. As long as he passed the sea area in front of him, his merits would be complete and the ship would be released by then. The team will pay 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones as a reward.
Of course, if Xiao Lin has any other requests, the old man surnamed Gu can agree to them as long as they can be met.
After Xiao Lin heard this, he did not immediately answer the old man surnamed Gu. Instead, he thought about the gains and losses involved.
The main reason why he got on the boat was that he didn't want to be too ostentatious in the Eastern Territory, especially before he advanced to Nascent Soul, and he didn't want to reveal his identity. You must know that decades ago, the Jade Demon Concubine passed through the Six Paths Kui Demon Palace. He plastered his portrait all over the fairy cities.
And with the ability of immortal cultivators to have a photographic memory, as soon as they show up, they will be traced easily. In order to avoid trouble, blending into ordinary mortals is undoubtedly the best way.
With Xiao Lin's current worth, he would naturally look down on a mere 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. The most important thing for him right now is to find a place suitable for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.
The old man in front of me has been running boats for many years, and he must be very familiar with the surrounding sea areas. As for the people of the Ghost Face Sect, they may not really let them meet. Even if they do, he will change their appearance by using the secret skill of Yi Ling. Even if you drive them away, it shouldn't be a difficult task.
"Of course, if the red ghost of the Ghost Face Sect appears, the Immortal Master can leave on his own without having to fight to the death with the Ghost Face Sect for us. This can only be blamed on our bad luck." It seems that Xiao Lin is worried about the Ghost Face Sect. The senior monk spoke again.
"Okay, Xiao Mou agrees to take this job, but there are some things to say first. Xiao Mou will naturally be frightened to protect you along the way, but if you encounter an immortal cultivator with a higher level of cultivation than Xiao Mou, you will be defeated. Xiao will leave directly instead of fighting with him. "
"It's natural." The old man surnamed Gu agreed, and then clapped his hands. A big man opened the door and walked in. He was holding a heavy bag and placed it on the round table in the center of the room.
After the big man left, the old man named Gu smiled and said: "This is the immortal master's reward, a total of 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
When Xiao Lin heard this, he didn't even look at the spirit stone. Instead, he said to the old man named Gu: "I wonder if Manager Gu has a map of the surrounding sea areas. Of course, the more and more detailed the better."
"The Immortal Master originally wanted to see the nautical charts, and we have quite a few on the ship. I will find someone to send them to the Immortal Master later."
Xiao Lin nodded and continued: "You said that the Eastern Territory is very unstable now, and the monsters outside the sea are ready to move. Are there any signs that it can't happen? In addition, Xiao has been in seclusion for decades. During these decades, The three major sects and the many forces in this Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, tell Xiao something about what happened to them.”
Xiao Lin said, extending his hand to the old man surnamed Gu and motioning for him to sit down.
The old man surnamed Gu was immediately flattered and thanked him repeatedly, then pulled up a chair and sat down diagonally across from Xiao Lin.
Through the words of the old man named Gu, Xiao Lin knew that a major event had happened in the Eastern Territory in the past twenty years.
The leader of the Five Elements Alliance, Lord Jinhuang, passed away.
When these words came out, Xiao Lin was really shocked. After looking at Xiao Lin, the old man surnamed Gu continued to talk.
The Golden Emperor, the Jade Water Fairy of Yushui Palace, and the Heavenly Demon of Liudao Kui Demon Palace are collectively known as the three giants of the Eastern Territory, and they are also the three nominally great monks of the Eastern Territory.
Therefore, the enthronement of Master Jinhuang was undoubtedly a piece of news that spread throughout the Eastern Territory in an extremely short time.
The most important thing is that the Golden Emperor has passed away and no new great monks have been born in the Five Elements Alliance. Naturally, no one is qualified to inherit the position of leader, and the five sect leaders are all eyeing the position of leader.
This led to signs of splitting in the Five Elements Alliance.
The Yushui Palace and the Liudaokui Demon Palace have also begun to encroach on the sea area controlled by the Five Elements Alliance from both directions. If it were not for the pressure from the Yushui Palace and the Liudaokui Demon Palace, the five sect leaders of the Five Elements Alliance would have long been the leaders. position, and a big fight broke out.
In order to resist the erosion of Yushui Palace and Liudaokui Demon Palace, the five leaders of the Five Elements Alliance began to shrink their power in the sea outside the Eastern Territory, and began to focus on holding on to some medium and large fairy cities to prevent being borrowed by Yushui Palace and Liudao Kuei Demon Palace. Machine annexation.
It is not easy for Yushui Palace and Liudaokui Demon Palace to annex the Five Elements Alliance. With the wealth accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, if either Yushui Palace or Liudaokui Demon Palace wants to take the opportunity to annex the Five Elements Alliance, it will probably be hurt. The muscles and bones are shaken, and the vitality is greatly damaged.
No matter which side loses its vitality, the other side will definitely not take advantage of the opportunity. This also makes the two sects have been making some small moves, but they have not conquered the city in a big way.
As soon as the Five Elements Alliance's power in the Ten Thousand Monsters Outer Sea began to shrink, it was also noticed by the keen monster clan. It was heard that a large number of monster clans had begun to gather in the depths of the Ten Thousand Monster Outer Sea.
I heard that at least five or six of the ten major monster clans have appeared in the Sea of Ten Thousand Monsters. In recent years, it is not uncommon for the entire island to be massacred by monsters overnight.
There have even been several small overseas fairy cities that have been occupied by the demon clan, and have slaughtered all the immortal cultivators and mortals in the city.
