102: Battle of the Gosing Islands

Just as both sides were on the verge of conflict, Qingyang turned to Tong Xuan and asked, "What is a protector? What are the benefits of becoming a protector?"

Qingyang asked this because he had noticed the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede's absolute determination to fight for it.

To be willing to fight to the death, there must be absolute benefits involved.

Hearing Qingyang's words, Tong Xuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "I offered you the Kunlun passage on China's side, and you didn't want it."

Why do you insist on fighting for this place? As for benefits, there are many. First, living near the passage means the spiritual energy is at least ten times higher than other places, allowing for faster advancement.

Secondly, there are resources. If zhen crystal erupt, this place is bound to be where the most zhen crystal are ejected."

"Ejected? You mean, zhen crystal are ejected from below, not falling from the sky?" Qingyang asked.

"Yes, what did you think?" Tong Xuan replied as if it were obvious.

Treasure, that was the first word that came to Qingyang's mind.

Acquiring a passage meant he controlled a huge treasure.

This treasure, both now and in the future, would absolutely be his strongest aid.

Thinking of this, Qingyang's eyes became resolute, and he slowly turned to look at the Ge Xing Islands, already having made his decision.

He had to seize this place.

The main reason Qingyang made this decision was the excellent geographical location of the place.

There were no other forces around, it was sparsely populated, but it subtly formed a pincer attack with China, making it a true strategic stronghold.

If other forces controlled this place, it would inevitably pose a certain constraint on China, so it absolutely had to be controlled by China's forces.

Since he had decided to go to war with the Ge Xing Islands, the first step was to assign tasks.

The more than a dozen islands outside were more than enough for Mao Qiu, Ming Tian, and the others.

But what about the inner four islands?

Four Tenth-Order auras indicated that the opponent had found four Fierce Beasts from somewhere.

Since Little Luan and the others had interacted with the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede, Qingyang did not believe the opponent would find four beings that couldn't defeat Little Luan and her companions.

Thinking of this, Qingyang immediately turned to look at Little Luan, who was slowly preening her feathers, and ordered.

"Go to Xiong Xiu Island and have the Golden Pixiu come immediately."

Yes, Little Luan, Xuan Ming, and Ba Qing were only three Tenth-Order beings, but with the addition of the Golden Pixiu, Qingyang believed they could definitely resolve the situation on the inner four islands.

As for the last part, it was the core area.

Going to war with the opponent essentially meant Qingyang needed to be prepared to fight two at once.

Both being Eleventh-Order, fighting two at once, Qingyang's eyes flickered, and after looking at his attributes' Backwater Extreme Sacrifice and the Angry Dragon Continuous Slash talent skills, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Several hours later, when the Golden Pixiu was notified by Little Luan and arrived in the sea area thousands of miles outside the Ge Xing Islands, just one look at the formation made it immediately understand what was happening.

"It seems you have made this decision. Give the order. My target for this battle."

At the forefront, Qingyang, who was looking at the Ge Xing Islands, heard the Golden Pixiu's voice from behind and said without turning his head, "You have now broken through to the peak of the Tenth-Order, the strongest among the inner four islands."

If we win this battle, I guarantee your promotion to the ranks of the Eleventh-Order. If we lose..."

Qingyang did not finish his sentence, but the Golden Pixiu behind him already understood Qingyang's meaning and nodded.

"Since I've made the decision, I will pay for it, even if the price is my life."

Ge Xing Islands, core area.

At this moment, the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede sensed the aura that lingered and seemed to understand something.

Just as the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede looked at the ancient armored scorpion beside it, a series of auras suddenly rushed towards the Ge Xing Islands at high speed.

Because it recognized these auras, the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede muttered to itself, "Black Gold Yang Dragon King, you actually chose this way to go to war with me."

Good, good, good. Since you're not afraid of heavy losses, I will accompany you to the end."

Above the Endless Sea, outside a group of islands.

Bull Demon King, Mao Qiu, Yin Li, Huang Shan, Blood Town, Bu Bai, and Ming Tian, a total of seven peak Ninth-Order Divine Beasts, were already flying towards the Ge Xing Islands with clear targets.

This time, each of them going to the Ge Xing Islands would face at least two, or even three, opponents of the same rank.

It should be known that the Fierce Beasts capable of landing on the Ge Xing Islands had a minimum standard of the Exotic Beast sequence.

Furthermore, there were plenty of pseudo-Divine Beasts, including Divine Beasts like the Golden Pixiu.

Although this battle was not widely noticed, both Qingyang and the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede knew that this should be the clash between the two most top-tier forces among Blue Star's powers at present.

As Mao Qiu and the others locked onto their respective target islands and began to land, not only the Fierce Beasts on their targeted islands but also those of the same rank on other islands slowly approached Mao Qiu and the others.

In the sea area hundreds of miles away, the Golden Pixiu's two pure golden eyes were fixed intently on the Ge Xing Islands as it spoke.

"First Island, Mao Qiu's opponents are two of the same rank, both peak Ninth-Order. No, no, it's three, another one has appeared too."

"Motherf*cker, is Bull Demon King that brave? Facing four opponents of the same rank, this guy isn't backing down, he's even snorting white mist from his nostrils."

"It's over, it's over. Social graces, now there's only calculation left. Huang Shan's opponents, there are actually five of them. How is he supposed to fight that?"

The Golden Pixiu's shouting indicated the difficulty of the battle for Mao Qiu and the others.

Among them, Huang Shan and Yin Li had the most opponents, a full five, while Mao Qiu and the others had three to four, which was much higher than Qingyang's estimated combat strength.

Seeing this scene, Qingyang subtly turned his head and looked at Little Luan.

Noticing Qingyang's gaze, Little Luan's eyes paused, but she eventually nodded slightly and flew away in a few flashes.

Yes, Qingyang did not want any of his subordinates to die. The death of King Kong and the others was something Qingyang was powerless to prevent back then, but today, since he had the ability to protect them,

Unless absolutely necessary, Qingyang would definitely not let anything happen to them.

The fish can die, but the net must not break, that was Qingyang's plan.

Of course, currently, both the Thousand-Legged Snow Centipede and Qingyang were abiding by some rules, so unless absolutely necessary, neither side wanted to break these rules.

But as long as Little Luan dared to appear, the rules would be immediately broken, and at that point, it would be time for Qingyang, as the leader, to bear the consequences.

Therefore, the battle for Mao Qiu and the others was absolutely crucial for Qingyang.

"Moo~"

With a bovine roar that could be heard even hundreds of miles away, the battle for the Ge Xing Islands began.

And Qingyang's pupils instantly fixed intently on the interior of the Ge Xing Islands, fearing that their side might also break the rules due to the battle being too intense and the losses too severe, just like his own thoughts.

If a Tenth-Order being were to attack a Ninth-Order, it would absolutely be a dimension-reducing strike; even a Divine Beast could not withstand a single blow from the opponent.
