Chapter 170: I had long seen that the water tribe had a problem

Behind the mess hall, the Manifestation Formation was activated, and Qi Xiong on the other end quickly got through; the first words were an angry rebuke.

You damn well still know how to contact me, the Sect Master?

He has been looking for Hong Zun and Qing Shi for how many days, but these two old guys have vanished like they evaporated from the world.

Facing Qi Xiong's angry scolding, Hong Zun did not retort, but instead spoke solemnly.

Senior Brother, there is something I need to tell you.

In the Dao Yi Sect, at Qi Xiong's Dong Fu, seeing Hong Zun's solemn expression, he also changed his expression, stopped scolding, and asked in a low voice.

Speak.

I and Qing Shi are now at Jinhai Yingdi.............

Damn it, what are you doing running to Jinhai Yingdi? Also, how did you get in?

But Qi Xiong couldn't hold back on the first sentence; these two old things are getting more and more outrageous—is Jinhai Yingdi where you guys go?

But before the scolding finished, Hong Zun's next words left Qi Xiong stunned.

The Eastern Sea water tribe is plotting to break the Near Sea Grand Formation, intending to invade Dongzhou.

Does the water tribe intend to forcibly break the Near Sea Grand Formation? This is obviously no small matter; Qi Xiong didn't even have time to get angry, staring fixedly at Hong Zun as he spoke.

Are you sure?

Absolutely certain, I and Qing Shi have already clashed with the water tribe's Demon King, and even beheaded a Crab King.

Saying this, Hong Zun gave Qing Shi a look, and Qing Shi obediently took out the corpse of that Crab King.

Seeing the Demon King's corpse, Qi Xiong frowned tightly; if that's true, then the matter is indeed troublesome.

How do you know?

But he still asked out of habit, and upon hearing that, Hong Zun opposite immediately showed a confident expression, speaking confidently.

To be frank, I had long sensed that this Eastern Sea water tribe had a problem; this time I and Qing Shi secretly went to Jinhai Yingdi precisely to investigate this matter, and as I expected, there was no discrepancy—the Eastern Sea water tribe has indeed been plotting to invade Dongzhou.

His eyes were full of wise light, while Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others not appearing in the Manifestation Formation all just smirked.

You sensed the water tribe had a problem? Are you sure? How dare you say that with a straight face, without blushing or racing heart.

Not to mention them, even Qi Xiong on the other end is somewhat doubtful.

He looked at Hong Zun within the Formation Light Curtain with a doubtful expression.

Can you detect these?

Let's not talk about this for now; Senior Brother, time is urgent, we must quickly send people to reinforce the Formation to prevent the Eastern Sea water tribe from forcibly breaking through the Near Sea Grand Formation.

But Hong Zun directly changed the subject, no longer dwelling on these; hearing that, Qi Xiong also nodded.

Alright, I'll have Zhāng Tiānzhèn immediately lead people to rush to Jinhai Yingdi.

Immediately the two ended the call; given such a big incident at Jinhai Yingdi, Qi Xiong naturally didn't have time to blame Hong Zun.

He immediately sent a message to Zhāng Tiānzhèn, asking him to come to his Dong Fu.

Zhāng Tiānzhèn is the Peak Master of the Wan Zhen Peak of the Dao Yi Sect, and the only Ninth-Grade Formation Master within the Dao Yi Sect.

However, he differs from Qi Xiong, Hong Zun and others who are direct disciples of the Dao Yi Sect; he is a later addition to the Sect, just like Qing Shi.

Moreover, when initially trying to win him over, Qi Xiong offered extremely generous terms.

Not only does the Sect provide corresponding compensation when maintaining the Formation, but all of Zhāng Tiānzhèn's daily cultivation resources are also provided by the Sect.

At the same time, even as Sect Master, Qi Xiong appears relatively courteous when facing Zhāng Tiānzhèn.

There's no way around it; the Dao Yi Sect only has this one Ninth-Grade Formation Master, so of course he must be well taken care of—in other words, he is a technical talent.

After receiving the message, Zhāng Tiānzhèn quickly rushed to Qi Xiong's place.

Sect Master, what's so urgent?

He has a full beard, a very rugged appearance, basically a rough man, with a somewhat impatient temperament; as soon as he entered, he opened his mouth to ask.

Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong didn't beat around the bush and spoke frankly.

Something happened at Jinhai Yingdi; the water tribe there is plotting to break the Near Sea Grand Formation and invade Dongzhou; I want you to lead people to go reinforce the Formation to prevent the water tribe from breaking through the Formation.

Upon hearing that, Zhāng Tiānzhèn was stunned; this matter is indeed not small, and without much thought he nodded and agreed.

As the Formation constructed by their own ancestral master, the Dao Yi Sect naturally knows how to maintain and reinforce the Near Sea Grand Formation.

Furthermore, after the Formation was completed, the ancestral master ordered thirty Formation Disks to be made; holding a Formation Disk allows one to be unaffected by the Formation's suppression, even old masters can freely enter and exit the Formation.

Therefore, Zhāng Tiānzhèn leading people into the Formation requires none of the hassle that Hong Zun and others face.

Of course, back then Hong Zun and Qing Shi had also considered getting those Formation Disks, but they thought it would be too troublesome and too risky.

Because the Formation Disks were personally kept by Qi Xiong, they ultimately gave up the idea.

Returning to Ten Thousand Formation Peak, he took five Elders with him, and Zhāng Tiānzhèn set out that day for the Near Sea Grand Formation.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Xiong contacted Hong Zun again.

You and Qing Shi will temporarily hold down Jinhai Yingdi; I've already had Zhāng Tiānzhèn bring you the token....................

Holy shit, this Demon King should be good; Little Ye Zhangqing, do you think it's better steamed or stir-fried with chili?

But the Manifestation Formation had just been connected; although they didn't see Hong Zun's figure, they faintly heard his voice.

For a moment, Qi Xiong frowned, wondering what steamed or chili stir-fry?

Hong Zun, where the hell did you go?

Coming, coming, Senior Brother, what did you just say?

My eyelid twitched; damn it, you really don't put this Senior Brother in your eyes at all.

But since the matter is important, Qi Xiong still suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth.

I say, you and Qing Shi will temporarily stay at Jinhai Yingdi; I've already had Zhāng Tiānzhèn bring two Formation Disks for you; you must pay close attention to the water tribe's movements, and report any developments to the Sect promptly.

Old drunkard, Little Ye Zhangqing said we can have two preparations: steam the body, and chili-stir-fry the claws and legs.

Good, good, good, this idea is good; let's try both flavors.

Hong Zun, the hell, have you been listening to what I'm saying?

I heard, I heard, then that's it, I still have things to do on my end.

He replied impatiently, then immediately cut off the formation. As a result, Qi Xiong's teeth were clenched so tight they creaked, and the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán in his hand was crushed outright.

On the other side, after ending the call, Hong Zun flashed over to the crab king's corpse and said excitedly.

Both are good to eat, both are good to eat, ah.

I think so too, let's get started. By the way, what did the Sect Master just say to you?

I don't know, whatever.

I'm busy handling the ingredients, where would I have the time to deal with him?

If Qi Xiong hears this, he'll probably can't help but rush straight to Jinhai Yingdi and kill Hong Zun.

I, the hell, am the sect master, and I've been talking to you for ages—don't tell you haven't heard a word? Do you still have any regard for me, your senior brother, in your eyes?
