Chapter 504: Bored to death

After staying in Ghost Valley for another day and arranging everything properly, the Dao One Sect people prepared to set off for the Near-Sea Camp.

Of course, Qi Xiong had spoken specifically with Ye Changqing about the matter of supporting the coastal camp.

Facing the crisis at the coastal camp, Ye Changqing naturally would not disregard the big picture, and he nodded in agreement quite readily.

However, as they were leaving, Yin Xiaoshan looked at his own grandfather with a face full of resentment.

"Do you really not need me to go with you?"

It was unclear what kind of madness had taken hold of him, but Yin Lishan insisted on going with Qi Xiong and the others.

He claimed, with high-sounding words, that as a Supreme Elder of the Dao One Sect, he certainly had to contribute his meager strength to the sect.

With the coastal camp in trouble, how could he, a Supreme Elder, not go?

Yet, Yin Xiaoshan truly scoffed at this reason; what was most hateful was that he wouldn't even take him along.

Looking at the pitiful-looking Yin Xiaoshan, Yin Lishan said irritably.

"What are you going for? Does the Ghost Valley not need someone to hold the fort?"

"But with so many Ghost Kings, that should be enough..."

"Enough, my foot. Just stay home and guard it for me, and don't you worry about other things."

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, and because it had already been perfectly connected to the Dao One Sect's teleportation system, the members of the Dao One Sect could arrive directly at the coastal camp via the array.

The array lit up, and one disciple of the Dao One Sect after another began to enter it.

Just as Qi Xiong and the others were taking action, on the other side, inside the coastal camp, the powerhouses of the Dao One Sect, led by Lin Potian, Mu You, and Qin Shou, were idly sunbathing.

"What do you think the aquatic race is actually planning? They broke the array but aren't attacking."

Mu You said, speechless. Logically speaking, since you've already torn a hole in the array, shouldn't you be launching a massive attack? Why have you retreated instead?

For so many days, apart from Long Zhantian coming to strike a few times now and then, not a single other aquatic demon king had been seen.

"Who knows? It's hard to say if they are plotting something."

"It's better to be careful."

"Bullshit, didn't they all retreat to the deep sea?"

The actions of the aquatic race were truly baffling. Just then, Lin Potian's projection array disk lit up, and upon connecting, he discovered it was Qi Xiong.

"How is the situation at the coastal camp?"

"Everything is peaceful."

"Nothing has happened?"

"Nothing."

"What about the aquatic race?"

"They retreated to the East Sea."

"Hmm???"

Having just left Ghost Valley via the teleportation array, he had expected the coastal camp to be engulfed in the flames of war, yet nothing had happened, and the aquatic race had retreated on their own?

Hearing these words from Lin Potian, Qi Xiong nodded with a strange expression.

"Good, we will be there immediately."

Qi Xiong and his group's reinforcements had arrived, but at this, the three of Lin Potian exchanged strange looks.

Given the current situation, was there really still a need for reinforcements? It seemed not.

They couldn't even see a shadow of the aquatic race; what the hell were they reinforcing?

However, Qi Xiong and the others hadn't come for the purpose of reinforcing in the first place. Hearing that nothing had happened at the coastal camp, Hong Zun and the others immediately curled their lips.

"What cowards. But do they think they can get away just like that?"

Now that even the obstruction of the array was gone, what use was it even if they retreated to the deep sea? This time, they were determined to eat this seafood, and even the Dragon King couldn't stop them.

The group marched imposingly toward the coastal camp, and in less than a day, Qi Xiong and his party arrived.

Because the array was damaged, tokens were no longer needed, and everyone could enter the camp without obstruction.

Seeing Qi Xiong leading the disciples of the Four Peaks, along with the six Great Saint realm ancestors including Yu Bo,

Lin Potian, Mu You, and Qin Shou were completely dumbfounded.

"No, Senior Brother, there was no need for this."

The coastal camp was under no pressure at all right now; they were idle all day, so why bring so many people?

And why on earth had Jiang Shan, Peng Yun, and even Yin Lishan joined their Dao One Sect?

Seeing those two and the one Ghost Emperor, Lin Potian and the others were truly shocked.

Their eyes went round; just like Chen Ren's earlier reaction, six Great Saints—since when had their Dao One Sect become so strong?

After a brief introduction of Jiang Shan and the others, the group moved into the coastal camp.

The fellow disciples took their seats one after another, and Qi Xiong said with a serious expression.

"Three Junior Brothers, to tell you the truth, I have come here this time to catch ingredients."

"Ingredients?"

Hearing this, Lin Potian and the other two were all stunned.

Since they had already come to the coastal camp, and the Four Peaks disciples made such a huge commotion when eating, it was impossible to hide it, so they might as well be direct. Besides, setting the rules now would make things more convenient later.

Introducing Ye Changqing to Lin Potian and the others, they were all startled to see the bird-like, submissive Hundred Flowers Fairy by his side.

"No, Junior Sister Hundred Flowers, what is this..."

"This is my husband, Ye Changqing."

The Hundred Flowers Fairy introduced him quite naturally, without the slightest bit of shyness.

What was there to hide? If you like someone, admitting it openly is perfectly fine.

Ye Changqing also took the initiative to bow. Seeing this, Lin Potian and the other two felt their minds were in a bit of a mess.

So many people came to the coastal camp just to catch ingredients? And what was this about eating, and why were there so many rules and regulations?

As for the Senior Brother and the others, what delicacies of the world had they not eaten? Was it really worth all this for a meal?

In any case, Lin Potian and the other two, who had never eaten the food, could not understand it at all.

However, seeing the demeanor of Qi Xiong and the others, they couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

And just as Qi Xiong and the others were talking, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Xu Jie, Shen Xian, and other direct disciples were gathered together, though they were clearly complaining.

The ancestors, needless to say, had their own private meals. As for Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and the others, although they didn't have private meals, with their Saint realm cultivation, they had no problem securing a portion.

But they were different. Originally, the pressure on the Four Peaks disciples was already significant, and now with the addition of the three peaks including the Tyrant Spear Peak, the pressure would be even greater.

"Sigh, I'm afraid it's not even certain if we'll be able to secure a bite of this food in the future."

"Yeah, seven peaks, the number of direct disciples is already nearly forty, not to mention those deacons and elders."

"We have to think of a way."

Everyone was looking miserable, especially Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie.

Looking back at the beginning, it was so comfortable; almost every meal was securely in their mouths.

But as there were more and more competitors, getting this meal had become increasingly difficult.

It forced them to frantically improve their strength, fearing that the slightest slack would mean missing out on a meal.

Zhao Zhengping and the others spoke one after another, but just as they finished, Xu Jie said with a smile.

"I don't think there's any need to worry unnecessarily. Things haven't reached that point yet. Even if there are disciples from three more peaks, so what? Those who should be able to secure their meals will still secure them."
