621: Biyuan Island, preparation (two-in-one has been refreshed)

"By the way, all of your Family's foundations can also be deployed now. Yunyue Island must not fall before the Heavenly Gate is broken, and if the Tai Gan Shark Clan's Demon Emperor leaves, you must fight to the death to hold him back," True Lord Xueshan said.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became a bit strange.

After all, for the True Lords staying behind, they were safer here, while for those True Lords on the offensive, the risk was greater.

Therefore, if the Southern Immortal Alliance wins, the offensive side will have priority in enjoying the spoils of war.

The Physical Body of the Tai Gan Shark Demon Emperor Clan are all top-grade Spirit Talisman paper.

Even a fifth-tier Physical Body shark skin is excellent Material for fifth-tier Spirit Talisman paper.

Not to mention the Nascent Soul that a sixth-tier Demon Emperor might possess.

"Good, no problem!" In the hall, Cultivators nodded one after another and swore an oath of the heavenly dao.

Although some Cultivators could evade it, True Lord Xueshan specifically took out a stick of sandalwood incense at this moment.

As soon as the sandalwood incense was lit, it began to emit lightning, like heavenly thunder, making Lin Shiming frown slightly.

"This is Heavenly Dao Thunder Smoke. This item has no other use than to increase the power of the oath of the heavenly dao, so that everyone can be at ease. After all, driving away the Tai Gan Shark Clan is everyone's business!"

True Lord Xueshan waited until everyone had almost finished swearing before taking it out, giving those Cultivators who had secretly used Purple Luo Heavenly Wine and other evasion treasures an offer they couldn't refuse.

After all, they had just sworn, and now it was Heavenly Dao Thunder Smoke; if they didn't swear, they would be an enemy to everyone.

Moreover, this oath of the heavenly dao also protected their respective Family Sects.

After all this was done, True Lord Xueshan waved her hand and handed over the ten Spirit Seeking Jade Talismans from before.

Lord Coral, Lord Nine Dragons, Lord Tian Yang, Lord Mo Sha, and True Lord Chilan all took one Spirit Seeking Jade Talisman.

This time, the teams were divided into two: one consisted of Lord Coral, True Lord Xueshan, and Lord Mo Sha.

The other team consisted of Lord Tian Yang, Lord Nine Dragons, and True Lord Chilan.

Speaking of which, the latter not only had an additional sixth-tier Magic Treasure Flying Sword, but also an additional Thunder Jiao Demon Emperor.

This was enough to show the confidence of the Zhao Family of the Coral Alliance.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but look at Lord Coral, who was wearing a crimson coral robe and a coral mask.

However, with just one glance, the other party looked back, making Lin Shiming quite awkward, so he could only return a smile.

The remaining True Lords staying behind were Golden Cicada Child, Rakshasa Demonic Lord, and Golden Light True Buddha, plus Old Woman Qingyu, Qing Shi Demon Emperor, and the Five Poison Demon Emperor, as well as the Five Poison Scorpion, and Lin Shiming's Autumn Blood Sword.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, how is Fellow Daoist Qiuxue preparing now?" True Lord Xueshan asked.

He naturally wanted the Autumn Blood Sword to come out first, because in terms of attack power, a Sword Cultivator is unparalleled.

Lord Tian Yang is also a Sword Cultivator and equally invincible, but he needed to participate in infiltrating the Tai Gan Abyss, so he couldn't be exposed too early.

Therefore, the Autumn Blood Sword was indeed a capable candidate for slaying the Demon Emperor.

"I still need to wait for a few moments!" Lin Shiming could already feel that the Sword Intent in the cave heaven had condensed to its extreme, almost materializing, and would be ready to emerge soon.

True Lord Xueshan frowned but didn't say much, instead looking at the remaining True Lords.

"This time, this old woman can set up a sixth-tier killing Formation, and with Fellow Daoist Qing Shi, the probability of slaying the Tai Gan Shark Emperor is not low!"

"I can also do something," Rakshasa Demon Child said, looking like a youth but with an ancient expression on his face.

Almost as soon as Rakshasa Demon Child spoke, Golden Cicada Child stood up.

"This monk is also willing to give it a try!"

When the three stepped forward, the others also nodded.

"Then everything is ready, we just need the east wind," True Lord Xueshan said.

Then he looked at Lin Shiming:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, today you and a few True Lords will go to the front line first. The remaining Cultivators will wait here for the Spirit Transporting Grand Formation of Yunyue Immortal Dao!"

"No problem." Lin Shiming nodded.

He knew what True Lord Xueshan was worried about, and he wouldn't truly be the last to arrive.

This time, he wanted to witness the strength of Lin Zeli, Lin Yanxing, Lin Shijie, and others in the initial defensive Formation.

After all, this was a rare opportunity to train Sword Cultivators.

Lin Shiming also wanted to learn from the Tianyang Sect of the Southern Border.

However, he would only observe during the battle; a true fight was still unrealistic.

After everything settled, everyone was about to disperse.

Lin Shiming hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Blood Coral Alliance Leader, I wonder if there are any extra Spirit Seeking Jade Talismans."

"Yes!" True Lord Xueshan tossed one over.

Lin Shiming held it in his hand, and at this close distance, he realized that a drop of fifth-tier Demon King's blood was sealed within the jade talisman.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was the blood of a fifth-tier Tai Gan Demon King.

The following events also became simpler.

Lin Shiming returned to the Lin Family courtyard. He cast some Spirit Arts, and soon, in front of him, all the Lin Family Cultivators began to gather.

Initially, there were five to six hundred people from the Lin Family who came here, but after many painful eliminations, only over three hundred remained. Adding the many new Sword Cultivators from the Lin Family, there were about five hundred people.

Among them, there were about two hundred Qi Refining Cultivators, and the remaining three hundred were Foundation Establishment and above.

At this moment, gathered in the courtyard, they appeared quite imposing.

Lin Shiming had no declarations; this time, it was purely for protection.

He clenched his fist, thumped his chest, and then led everyone towards the Teleportation Array.

When he arrived at the Teleportation Array, he found that many Cultivators had already gathered there. Besides the Lin Family, there were also many beautiful female Cultivators from the Qinghua Sect. Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with these female Cultivators; during the last Tianzhao Sea, many female Immortal Masters, cooperating with Old Woman Qingyu's Formation, had successfully resisted Lord Nine Dragons and True Lord Xueshan.

In the end, the Formation was broken only because it was breached from within.

This time, the Tai Gan Shark Clan clearly didn't have Formation-breaking talismans; they relied on their sharp Sword Intent.

"Senior Lin." Several beautiful female Immortal Masters waved at Lin Shiming.

"Several Fairy are too polite. I am only a Golden Core, not worthy of being called Senior!" Lin Shiming shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After a simple greeting, they all boarded the Teleportation Array. The Teleportation Array here was a large-scale one, capable of teleporting three hundred people at a time. It would take two trips for the Lin Family to teleport.

And as the Lin Family was about to teleport, Real Person Xuanji, Zhao Fuling, and Zhao Yulin also rushed over. The few of them seemed quite eager.

"Fellow Daoist Lin." The few of them were familiar with Lin Shiming and didn't act like strangers. Lin Shiming himself wasn't a Nascent Soul, so he naturally wouldn't put on airs.

"We are also going today," Real Person Xuanji said.

Zhao Fuling and Zhao Yulin didn't speak.

"Real Person Hongye is already waiting on Bi Yuan Island. We just need to rendezvous with her," Real Person Xuanji said, seemingly noticing Lin Shiming still checking.

Apart from the Lin Family, the Golden Core forces under the remaining eight major powers took turns guarding.

Each major Sect sent at least three Golden Core forces at a time, and this time, it happened to be Hong Leaf Island and Tian Shu Island, among others.

"Then let's go together. We still need to arrange many methods. This defense won't be easy," Lin Shiming said meaningfully.

He didn't know if the others would understand.

But that was all he could hint at.

The arrangements of the various Nascent Soul True Lords were not conveyed to the Immortal Masters below.

They would only know at the moment of execution.

And this group of Cultivators who went ahead would, like previous offenses and defenses, only unleash everything to deliver a fatal blow to the Tai Gan Shark Clan when the opponent revealed a flaw.

As the light of the Teleportation Array shone, Lin Shiming only felt a dizzying sensation, and the next moment, a huge island appeared before him.

Above the island, a massive scorching sun gathered. In addition, there were more than a dozen Scarlet Cloud Phoenix Birds.

Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with these Scarlet Cloud Phoenix Birds; he had seen them before when guarding Coral Island. These birds were all firebirds.

Such terrifying temperatures could inhibit the spread of the Tai Gan Mist. Although it was a temporary solution, it was considered a weakening for the South Sea.

On the island, an iron city had also been built. Although the entire city wall was not as grand as the South Immortal City on Yunyue Immortal Island.

But it was still nearly eighty zhang high, capable of withstanding tsunamis, and was also equipped with terrifying Formations. The Spirit Runes on it were like a spider web-like Secret Realm, stretching as far as the eye could see.

There were many Cultivators on the city wall at this moment. They gathered in groups of three in battle Formations, and within the fortresses of the city wall, there were also large-scale Spirit Gathering Battle Formations.

These Battle Formations allowed the Qi Refining Cultivators to exert their power within them.

The Spiritual Qi of one Qi Refining Cultivator might not amount to much.

But if a thousand Qi Refining Cultivators were augmented by the Formation, the effect would be entirely different.

And in this catastrophe, all Sect forces in the Six Great Sea Regions were gathered here, so the number of Qi Refining Cultivators was naturally vast.

After all, Nascent Soul and Golden Core were extremely scarce in the cultivation world, but Qi Refining Cultivators were truly abundant.

On the city wall, besides the Cultivators from Hong Leaf Island, Lin Shiming also saw Cultivators from Nine Dragon Island feeding flood dragons and Spirit Snakes with blood sacrifices.

Most of these blood sacrifices were the flesh and blood of Tai Gan Sharks and ordinary Spirit Sharks, which could increase the ferocity of the latter, giving them a few more points in their chances of winning.

Unlike the beast-feeding of Nine Dragon Island, the Cultivators of the Chilan Sect next to them were all wearing crimson robes. Their Magical Artifacts were all crimson banners or crimson Flying Swords. There were simply too many fire-attribute Cultivators.

And these Cultivators were currently forcing out some of their innate Spirit Flames, which then temporarily merged on the city wall.

The innate Spirit Flames condensed by ten Chilan Sect Cultivators were nothing, but a hundred, a thousand, and the power would be vastly different.

These Spirit Flames, once condensed to a certain extent, began to transform into various exotic beast forms.

Apparently, this was similar to the Heavenly Fire Secret Art from the South Immortal Hall before, and it was also a characteristic of the Chilan Sect.

Besides the Chilan Sect, there were also the Qinghua Sect, the Five Poison Sect, and the Tianyang Sect nearby.

The Cultivators of these Three Sects were also very distinctive. The Qinghua Sect Cultivators were mainly female, and in front of them, all sorts of spiritual plants were being cultivated.

These spiritual plants included the previous giant man-eating spiritual flowers, the incomparably sharp Golden Spear Wood, and various lightning-struck wood.

Compared to the man-eating flowers' restraint on Cultivators, the Golden Spear Wood and lightning-struck Wood Demons had a greater restraint on Tai Gan Sharks.

Moreover, the number of Wood Demons in the Qinghua Sect was unimaginably large, far more than even Tianliu Island.

Lin Shiming estimated that the other party must have some secret treasure or Legacy.

Otherwise, how could the Qinghua Sect have condensed so many Wood Demons?

There were more Sword Cultivators in the Tianyang Sect, and Lin Shiming paid attention to them because, in his observation, although these Tianyang Sect Cultivators stood on the city wall, the Sword Intent on their backs grew stronger and stronger.

Although most of them didn't have Sword Intent, even without it, the power they exerted was not low, which made Lin Shiming look a few more times.

"Shijie, you all should also observe more!" Lin Shiming looked at Lin Shijie, Lin Zeli, and others.

They were all skilled Sword Cultivators in this regard. Although they might not be able to observe the essence of the secret arts, it would still be good if they could gain something.

Of course, besides their observations, the other Family members strictly followed the defensive policy.

The Lin Family still adhered to the three-three policy: one Cultivator skilled in defense in front, and two skilled in offense behind.

In front of the defensive Cultivator, there were often Spirit Beasts and Spirit Corpse Puppets controlled by Spirit Control Seals.

So, the Lin Family's policy was the three-one-two battle Formation.

This ensured a high probability of survival for the Lin Family.

Now, Lin Shiming no longer needed to make many arrangements; everything was arranged by Lin Shiyuan.

As the Lin Family's Wind Spiritual Root Cultivator, Lin Shiyuan had also undergone considerable training recently.

Since Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng were not present, the highest command naturally fell into Lin Shiyuan's hands.

On the city wall, at the very ends, were still Ten Thousand Buddha Island and the Blood Cultivation Sect. Even at this moment, they had not completely let go of their prejudices.

However, Lin Shiming still admired the strength and foundation of the two Sects.

The Cultivators of Ten Thousand Buddha Island all took out scrolls of Buddha images, and in front of them, Buddha Eagles circled. In addition, there were wooden fish and rulers, and many other Magical Artifacts.

The Blood Cultivation Sect was even more formidable. They either took out demonic banners or placed coffins in front of them. In addition, they also took out ghost banners and blood-sacrificial demonic swords and demonic artifacts on the spot.

In normal times, other Sects would naturally not tolerate the Blood Cultivation Sect doing this, but now was a special period. If they didn't adapt, then the South Sea would also await annihilation.

Of course, what surprised Lin Shiming was also the Five Poison Sect. The city wall where they were located now had countless holes, revealing pairs of eerie eyes from within, where many eyes seemed to be sleeping.

These Five Poison Spirit Insects had gathered on the city wall and had already dug holes.

They were just waiting for the Tai Gan Sharks to approach.

Lin Shiming recognized many of the Spirit Insects inside, including the Spirit Devouring Ant, but they were only third-tier Low Grade Spirit Devouring Ants, far inferior to his two fourth-tier Spirit Devouring Ants. The speed at which his two Spirit Devouring Ants devoured Spirit Formations was also far beyond what the other party could compare to.

Besides these, Lin Shiming also saw many praying mantis Spirit Beasts, as well as flying centipede Spirit Beasts.

There were also various Spirit Snakes and Spirit Toad Spirit Beasts.

Lin Shiming watched for a while, then stopped, and began to set up Formations in front of their city wall.

The Grand Formation of Bi Yuan Island was a fifth-tier top-grade Grand Formation, and it would not affect other Formations. They could still set up Formations on their own city wall, but these Formations could not absorb the Spiritual Veins on the island; they could only arrange Spirit Stones themselves.

Otherwise, if the fifth-tier top-grade Grand Formation's Spiritual Qi supply was insufficient, it would be even more dangerous.
