Chapter 97

Ye Zhangqing swore, I really was just saying it offhand, ah.

Facing the gazes of many disciples, Ye Zhangqing shrank his neck, and helplessly said in a careful manner.

"That uh, senior brothers, what are you doing..........?"

Upon hearing that, the fellow brothers didn't reply, turned their heads again to look at the incoming aquatic demon beasts, but at this moment, the expressions in everyone's eyes completely changed.

Moreover, a disciple muttered.

"All are top-quality ingredients, ah."

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand slowly unsheathed, and a red light also appeared in his eyes.

Ye Zhangqing, if you say that, senior brother will get energized.

Even Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, Lu Youyou, Wang Yao and other inner disciples were like that, and Liu Shuang also licked her charming red lips.

"Is this amount a bit little, enough to eat?"

"Nonsense, with so many of us, how could it be enough?"

"Isn't the Eastern Sea said to have countless aquatic beings, yet we only got this few?"

"First deal with them, then think of a plan."

"Indeed, we're already at Jinhai Yingdi, afraid of no food? At worst, after our wounds heal we'll charge out."

"Good fellow, because he was standing right next to Zhao Zhengping and those few, Ye Zhangqing heard all their conversation."

"Just a moment ago, you all still looked worried, and now you actually want to charge out?"

"After looking at the surging aquatic beasts, Ye Zhangqing said softly."

"Senior brothers, I think we should first consider the matter at hand."

"That's true, what do you mean? Directly charge out?"

"Again charge out? Ye Zhangqing felt numb."

"Fortunately, Xu Jie shook his head."

"Senior Brother, don't rush, I have my own preparations."

"Upon saying that, some disciples around also spoke up."

"Hmm, first deal with them in a wave."

"Yeah, fighting also requires strategy."

"First, steady the hand."

"Listening to everyone's words, Ye Zhangqing was bewildered, Zhao Zhengping was also bewildered, but those disciples who spoke were each full of confidence."

"On the other side, Jiao Min, leading the aquatic beasts that charged forth, looked at the approaching camp, his smile becoming ever more brilliant."

"After this battle, the position of young master will surely be mine."

"As if already seeing the scene of breaking through Jinhai Yingdi, at this moment, an aquatic beast beside him spoke."

"Third Prince, something's off, why is there red light on the city wall? It looks like pairs of eyes."

"Bullshit, have you ever seen anyone's eyes emit red light?"

"Jiao Min still hadn't realized the danger, while the Divine Sword Peak disciples on the city wall, seeing the aquatic beasts draw nearer, couldn't help but drool."

"They're here, they're here."

"Still a bit off, still a bit off."

"Right away, good, attack."

"Completely not understanding what everyone was saying, only see one Inner Door Disciple suddenly form a seal, and immediately in the distance erupts a column of heavenly fire, instantly, hundreds of demon beasts are caught up in it."

"This is the light of a Talisman Seal, and it looks like its grade isn't low."

"Haha, this is the Talisman Seal I buried this afternoon, I didn't expect it to actually be put to use."

"He laughed excitedly, but the next second he was scolded head‑to‑toe by Xu Jie."

"Who the hell told you to use a fifth‑grade Talisman Seal? The demon beasts are all roasted by you, how can they still be ingredients?"

"Wasteful trash, watch me."

"Immediately another disciple began forming seals, and another wave of Talisman Seal light rose."

"This time it was a third‑grade Golden Light Talisman Seal, beams of light instantly enveloped hundreds of aquatic beasts, and in the blink of an eye pierced their bodies."

"This time, on the city wall, everyone burst into cheers."

"Good, the selection of this Golden Light Talisman Seal is clever, it didn't destroy the corpses of these aquatic beasts."

"Or it's Senior Brother Tang who considered things thoroughly, ah."

"In the next short less than a quarter hour, Ye Zhangqing only saw outside the camp, various Talisman Seals and Formations continuously being activated."

"All types, all grades, almost covering every corner outside the camp."

"Those aquatic beasts basically had no reaction at all, and were instantly enveloped by the Talisman Seals and Formations."

"After glancing at the excited senior brothers and sisters around, Ye Zhangqing felt somewhat numb."

"Is this all set up by you senior brothers and sisters?"

"Upon hearing that, Xu Jie grabbed Ye Zhangqing in a hug and said excitedly."

"Definitely, ah, otherwise it would be those women from Jade Maiden Peak."

"Junior brother, remember, as disciples of Divine Sword Peak, no matter where you go in the future, you must always keep in mind: a gentleman does not stand beneath a wall."

"Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's scalp went numb, is this about a gentleman not being advantageous beneath a wall?"

"Rather, we came to Jinhai Yingdi; if I'm not mistaken, it's been less than a day, and moreover everyone is wounded."

"In such a short time, you actually managed to lay out so many Talisman Seals and Formations outside the camp."

"What's more exaggerated is how clever this layout is; even Talisman Seal masters and Formation masters, upon seeing it, would probably give a thumbs up."

"Just like now, after experiencing the first wave of Talisman Seal and Formation baptism, these aquatic beasts have become extremely cautious."

Not only did they instantly scatter, but they also kept far away from those places that looked problematic, never approaching.

Even so, they still couldn't avoid it.

A unit of thousands of water tribe members rushed wildly toward the camp while staying vigilant of their surroundings.

They noticed the ground ahead appeared disturbed, with a deliberate layer of leaves laid over it.

The lead water tribe member snorted coldly and immediately ordered the unit to detour.

"Heh, you were unprepared before, and now you still want to use such crude means to get me? Too naive."

Just as his words fell, the Talisman Seals activated, surrounding the whole unit with dozens of Talisman Seals, golden light flashing all around.

And yet, the spot they occupied was actually right beside that problematic ground— they had completely detoured around it, yet still got hit.

"Why?"

His eyes full of bewilderment, he wondered why there were Talisman Seals here.

And on the city wall, the Shī xiōng who had laid these Talisman Seals smiled faintly.

"You think of something I wouldn't? That patch of ground is what I deliberately dug; the real Talisman Seals are laid on the essential path beside it, heh."

Moreover, some water tribe members already trapped in the Formation's encirclement broke out at any cost.

"Just charge straight ahead— there won't be any more Formations ahead; no one would be foolish enough to lay a Formation in a straight line."

Having successfully broken out of the Formation, they thought they'd be safe thereafter, but the next moment they were trapped again by the Formation.

On the city wall, the Shī xiōng who had laid the Formation smirked coldly.

"As the saying goes, one drum of vigor, then waning, then exhaustion. Facing the enemy's fierce assault, we must weaken them layer by layer, until they can muster no resistance and can only surrender meekly."

Indeed, that is exactly what happened: this water tribe unit had already broken through three Formations in a row, thinking there wouldn't be any more, but who would have thought— after just two steps they were enveloped by another Formation, and the leader of the water tribe was almost tortured to tears.

"Who the hell laid out these Formations, all in a straight line!"
