Chapter 311
In the kitchen's back courtyard, the projection array was activated, and Qi Xiong on the other end connected quickly, his first words being an angry curse.
"You actually know how to contact me, the Sect Master?"
He had been looking for Until Hong Zun and Qingshi for days, but these two old fellows seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.
Facing Qi Xiong's angry scolding, Until Hong Zun didn't argue but said with a serious expression.
"Senior Brother, there is something I need to tell you."
At the Daoyi Sect, in Qi Xiong's cave, seeing Until Hong Zun's solemn look, his expression changed, and he stopped scolding, asking in a deep voice.
"Speak."
"Qingshi and I are currently at the offshore camp..."
"Holy crap, what are you doing running to the offshore camp? And how did you get in?"
Qi Xiong couldn't hold back his first sentence; these two old things were becoming more and more outrageous—was the offshore camp a place for them to go?
But before the scolding could finish, Until Hong Zun's next sentence left Qi Xiong stunned.
"The East Sea aquatic tribes are plotting to break the offshore array, intending to invade the Eastern Continent."
The aquatic tribes want to forcibly break the offshore array? This was clearly no small matter, and Qi Xiong couldn't bother to be angry, staring straight at Until Hong Zun and saying.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely certain; Qingshi and I have already engaged with the aquatic Demon Kings and even killed a Crab King."
Saying this, Until Hong Zun gave Qingshi a wink, and Qingshi obediently took out the corpse of the Crab King.
Seeing the Demon King's corpse, Qi Xiong's brows furrowed; if this were true, then things were indeed troublesome.
"How did you find out?"
He still asked habitually, and hearing this, Until Hong Zun on the opposite side immediately revealed a confident expression and said solemnly.
"To tell you the truth, I sensed long ago that there was a problem with the East Sea aquatic tribes. This time, Qingshi and I secretly went to the offshore camp to investigate this matter, and as I expected, it was exactly as I thought—the East Sea aquatic tribes have always been plotting to invade the Eastern Continent."
His eyes were full of wisdom, while Ye Changqing, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others, who were not in the projection array, curled their lips in disdain.
You sensed there was a problem with the aquatic tribes? Are you sure? How could you have the face to say such things without blushing or skipping a beat?
Not to mention them, even Qi Xiong on the other end didn't quite believe it.
He looked at Until Hong Zun in the array light screen with suspicion and said.
"You were able to discover this?"
"Let's not talk about this for now; Senior Brother, time is tight, we must send people to reinforce the array as soon as possible to prevent the East Sea aquatic tribes from forcibly breaking through the offshore array."
Until Hong Zun directly changed the subject, and hearing this, Qi Xiong nodded.
"Good, I will have Zhang Tianzhen lead people to the offshore camp immediately."
Then the two ended the call; with such a big thing happening at the offshore camp, Qi Xiong naturally couldn't bother to scold Until Hong Zun.
He immediately sent a message to Zhang Tianzhen, asking him to come to his cave.
Zhang Tianzhen was the Peak Master of the Daoyi Sect's Ten Thousand Array Peak and the only ninth-grade array master in the Daoyi Sect.
However, unlike Qi Xiong and Until Hong Zun, who were direct descendants of the Daoyi Sect, he belonged to those who joined the sect halfway, just like Qingshi.
And back then, to win him over, Qi Xiong had offered extremely generous conditions.
Not only would the sect provide corresponding rewards when maintaining arrays, but all of Zhang Tianzhen's daily cultivation resources were also covered by the sect.
At the same time, even Qi Xiong, as Sect Master, was relatively polite when facing Zhang Tianzhen.
There was no choice; the Daoyi Sect only had this one ninth-grade array master, so naturally, he had to be served well—to put it bluntly, this was a technical talent.
After receiving the message, Zhang Tianzhen quickly arrived at Qi Xiong's place.
"Sect Master, what's the rush?"
With a full beard and a very rugged appearance, he was a rough man with a relatively impatient temperament; he asked as soon as he entered the door.
Hearing this, Qi Xiong didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly.
"Something happened at the offshore camp; the aquatic tribes are plotting to break the offshore array and invade the Eastern Continent. I want you to lead people there to reinforce the array and prevent them from breaking through."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianzhen was stunned; this was indeed no small matter, and he nodded in agreement without much thought.
As the array was constructed by their own founder, the Daoyi Sect naturally knew how to maintain and reinforce the offshore array.
Moreover, after the array was completed, the founder had ordered thirty array disks to be made; holding an array disk allowed one to be unaffected by the array's suppression, allowing even older-generation powerhouses to enter and exit at will.
So Zhang Tianzhen taking people into the array didn't need to be as troublesome as Until Hong Zun and the others.
Of course, Until Hong Zun and Qingshi hadn't been without designs on these array disks back then, but it was too troublesome and risky to get them.
Because the array disks were kept personally by Qi Xiong, they eventually gave up on the idea.
Returning to Ten Thousand Array Peak and taking five elders, Zhang Tianzhen set off that very day for the offshore array.
Then Qi Xiong contacted Until Hong Zun again.
"You and Qingshi stay at the offshore camp for the time being; I have already had Zhang Tianzhen bring you tokens..."
"Holy crap, this Demon King should be pretty good. Kid Changqing, do you think it's better steamed or spicy-fried?"
But just as the projection array connected, he didn't see Until Hong Zun's shadow, but vaguely heard his voice.
For a moment, Qi Xiong's brows furrowed—what steamed, what spicy-fried?
"Until Hong Zun, where the hell are you?"
"Coming, coming, Senior Brother, what did you just say?"
His eyelids twitched—damn it, you really don't put me, your Senior Brother, in your eyes at all.
But business was important, and Qi Xiong forced down his anger, gritting his teeth as he said.
"I said, you and Qingshi stay at the offshore camp for the time being; I have already had Zhang Tianzhen bring you two array tokens. You must pay attention to the aquatic tribes' movements and report any issues to the sect in time..."
"Old drunkard, Kid Changqing says it can be eaten two ways: the body steamed, and the crab pincers and legs spicy-fried."
