Chapter 504

In Ghost Valley they stayed another day; after arranging everything, the Dao Yi Sect people then prepared to set out for Jinhai Yingdi.

Of course, regarding the matter of supporting Jinhai Yingdi, Qi Xiong had specifically discussed it with Ye Zhangqing.

Facing the crisis at Jinhai Yingdi, Ye Zhangqing naturally would not neglect the bigger picture and readily nodded in agreement.

However, when leaving, Yin Xiaoshan looked at his own father with a resentful expression and said.

"Do I really not need to go together?"

I don't know what madness possessed him, but Yin Lishan insisted on following Qi Xiong and the others.

He claimed it was because, as a Supreme Elder of the Dao Yi Sect, he certainly ought to contribute his modest share to the sect.

With matters at Jinhai Yingdi, how could this Supreme Elder possibly not go?

However, regarding this reason, Yin Xiaoshan utterly scoffed at it; the worst part was that he wasn't even taken along.

Seeing Yin Xiaoshan's pitiful appearance, Yin Lishan said irritably.

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

"But with so many Demon Kings, that's already enough..............."

"Enough is enough; just stay put and guard the home properly—don't worry about anything else."

Because the Teleportation Array exists and has been perfectly linked to the Dao Yi Sect's teleportation system, the Dao Yi Sect people can completely use the Teleportation Array to directly reach Jinhai Yingdi.

The formation lit up, and Dao Yi Sect disciples began to enter the formation one after another.

At the same time Qi Xiong and the others were taking action, elsewhere inside Jinhai Yingdi, the Dao Yi Sect powerhouses led by Lin Potian, Mu You, and Qin Shou were idly basking in the sun.

"What exactly do these water folk mean, that even though the formation is broken they don't attack?"

"Mu You said with a speechless expression; logically speaking, since you all tore open a gap in the formation, they should have launched a full-scale assault, so why did they retreat instead?"

Over these many days, aside from Long Zhantian occasionally coming to strike a couple of blows, not a single other water tribe Demon King has been seen.

"Who knows? Perhaps they're secretly plotting something."

"It's better to be cautious."

"Pfft, haven't they all retreated to the deep sea?"

The water tribe's behavior is truly baffling; just then, Lin Potian's Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán lit up, and upon connecting they saw it was Qi Xiong.

"How is the situation at Jinhai Yingdi?"

"All is well."

"Nothing happened?"

"No."

"And the water tribe?"

"They have retreated to the East Sea."

"Huh???"

Having just left Ghost Valley via the Teleportation Array, I had expected Jinhai Yingdi to be engulfed in constant battle, yet nothing happened at all, and moreover, the water tribe retreated on their own?

Upon hearing Lin Potian's words, Qi Xiong nodded with a strange expression.

"Alright, we'll be there right away."

Qi Xiong and the others' support arrived, but regarding this, Lin Potian and his two companions exchanged a strange glance.

Given the current situation, is support really needed? It seems not.

Not even a shadow of the water tribe can be seen—what's the point of sending support?

However, Qi Xiong and company's original purpose wasn't to provide support; upon hearing that nothing had happened at Jinhai Yingdi, Hong Zun and the others immediately curled their lips and said.

"They're truly timid, but do they think they can get away with this?"

Now even the formation's obstruction is gone; even if you retreat to the deep sea, what good will it do? This time the seafood is as good as ours—even the Dragon King can't keep it.

The group set off for Jinhai Yingdi in grand fashion, and less than a day later, Qi Xiong and his party arrived at Jinhai Yingdi.

Because the formation is damaged, the tokens are no longer needed, and everyone can enter the camp unhindered.

Seeing Qi Xiong directly lead the Four Peaks disciples as they arrived, there were also Yu Mo and six other Great Saint Realm elders.

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

"No, Senior Brother, there's no need for that."

Jinhai Yingdi is currently under no pressure at all; they just idle away the whole day—why bring so many people?

Moreover, why did Jiang Shan, Peng Yun, and even Yin Lishan join their Dao Yi Sect?

Upon seeing those two and a Ghost King, Lin Potian and company were genuinely startled.

Their eyes widened wide, just like Chen Ren's earlier expression—six Great Saints, when did our Dao Yi Sect become this strong?

After a brief introduction of Jiang Shan and company, everyone proceeded to take up residence at Jinhai Yingdi.

The fellow senior brothers took their seats one after another, and Qi Xiong spoke with a serious expression.

Three junior brothers, to be frank, this senior brother has come here to capture food ingredients.

"Food ingredients?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Potian and his two companions were all taken aback.

Since we've all come to Jinhai Yingdi, and the Four Peaks disciples' mealtime commotion is huge, trying to hide it would surely fail; it's better to be straightforward and set the rules properly, making things easier going forward.

Introducing Ye Zhangqing to Lin Potian and his two companions, and seeing the Bai Hua Xianzi leaning affectionately nearby, all three were startled.

"No, Bai Hua Junior Sister, what is this.............."

"This is my husband, Ye Zhangqing."

Bai Hua Xianzi introduced herself quite naturally, without the slightest hesitation.

What's there to hide? Liking someone and openly admitting it is completely fine.

Ye Zhangqing also actively performed a salute; seeing that, Lin Potian and his two companions felt their minds a bit muddled.

So many people have come to Jinhai Yingdi just to gather food ingredients; moreover, what kind of meal is this, and why are there so many rules?

Senior Brother and the others have eaten every kind of mountain delicacy and seafood under heaven; why are they acting like this just over a meal?

Lin Potian and the other two who haven't eaten the meal just can't figure it out.

But seeing Qi Xiong and the others like that, I can't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

And just as Qi Xiong and the others were speaking, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Xu Jie, Shen Xian and the other Inner Disciples also gathered together, but everyone was obviously complaining.

As for the ancestors, they obviously get special meals; as for Qi Xiong, Hong Zun and the others, although they don't get special meals, with their Shèngjìng cultivation, steadily getting food is no problem.

But they're different; the pressure on the Four Peaks disciples was already considerable, and now we have to add the disciples from the Overlord Spear Peak's three peaks, making the pressure even greater.

"Alas, who knows if we'll be able to steadily eat this meal from now on."

"Yeah, the seven peaks already have nearly forty Inner Disciples, not to mention the Stewards and Elders."

"We need to think of a solution."

Everyone wore worried, grim faces, especially Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others.

Looking back to when we first started, it was so carefree—almost every meal was steadily eaten.

But as the number of rivals grows, eating this meal has become increasingly difficult.

This forced them to desperately increase their strength, fearing that even a slight lapse would cost them their meal.

Zhao Zhengping and the others spoke up one after another, but before their words had even faded, Xu Jie smiled and said.

"I don't think there's any need to worry prematurely; things haven't come to that point yet, and even if we add the three peaks disciples, what difference does it make? What ought to be steadily eaten will still be steadily eaten."
