48: The owner of Tianmen Island came out of retreat

On Tianmen Island, in the central great hall of the lake heart island, the island lord who was in seclusion suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of Luoxia Island.

"Why do I always feel a great terror over there? Could it be that demon cultivators are appearing from the oriental direction, and there's a Nascent Soul Stage existence?"

"That shouldn't be. If Heavenly Demon Sect dared to produce Nascent Soul Stage demon cultivators, Wuya Sword Sect would have acted long ago."

"Could there be more than one Golden Core Peak demon cultivator? If so, then Tianmen Island would be somewhat dangerous."

"Forget it, I won't go into seclusion for now. Breaking through to Nascent Soul is a bit difficult, and I still have over sixty years of lifespan left, no need to rush."

After speaking, his gaze looked towards the direction of Luoxia Island again, and he instantly vanished.

Appearing again, he had already arrived at the Tianmen Island discussion hall.

At this time, Tianmen Island's four great elders were all gathered here, along with over ten outer sect elders at the fake core realm.

The Tianmen Island Lord suddenly appeared in the main seat, the elders were startled, then overjoyed, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Island Lord."

The Tianmen Island Lord's expression slightly darkened, and he asked, "What's going on in the oriental part of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago?"

The first elder quickly said, "Island Lord, it's just that a small li family has risen, destroying the Yun Family, one of the three great foundation establishment li families, and is now confronting the feng and yuan li families."

"However, that small li family is also quite strong. With some young people from our Tianmen Island and Qingfeng Island supporting the two li families, that small force can still contend with the two li families, and even seems to have a slight advantage."

The Tianmen Island Lord's expression turned cold, and he coldly snorted, "Is that small li family supported by Heavenly Demon Sect?"

The first elder shook his head and said, "Probably not, there is no demonic energy in their magic power."

The Tianmen Island Lord shook his head and said, "You can't think that way. If they want to cultivate spies, they definitely can't let them possess demonic energy. Forget it, I'll go take a look."

The first elder nodded and said, "That's right, old ancestor was prejudiced. How about old ancestor goes to test them?"

The Tianmen Island Lord nodded and said, "Only you can go, it's not suitable for others. Remember, don't act after you go, figure out the situation first."

"At this time, having an extra helper is better than having an extra enemy. As for the matters in the oriental direction, we won't participate, those are decisions made by the juniors."

The first elder quickly nodded and said, "Island Lord, rest assured, old ancestor understands."

The Tianmen Island Lord looked at the others and said with a smile, "You have put up a reward, and this island lord won't say anything. However, this island lord also declares here that if any cultivators within our sect can kill a Golden Core Stage cultivator, there will also be a Core Formation Pill reward."

The first elder quickly said, "Island Lord, there aren't many Core Formation Pills within the sect, they are all prepared for the future."

The Tianmen Island Lord shook his head and said, "Resources can be collected again. If the Heaven's Gate Archipelago is lost, we will have nothing left."

"If possible, this island lord wants to fight back this time. At that time, will we still be afraid of not having resources?"

The first elder slightly nodded and said, "That's true, thank you, Island Lord, for reminding me."

The resources of the Heavenly Devil Archipelago are not worse than those of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, and are even more abundant.

If they can take down the Heavenly Devil Archipelago, it's possible for Tianmen Island to have a few more golden core old ancestors, and the island lord might even break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

As for the Heavenly Demon Sect's Nascent Soul old monsters, they simply don't dare to enter the South Sea Cultivation World. Even if Heavenly Demon Sect is powerful, the South Sea also has three deity transformation forces.

In addition, the tiannanhai cultivation world is not without righteous sects, so they don't dare to easily become enemies with the overseas cultivation world.

At this moment, they didn't put the li family in their eyes at all. If they knew the li family's strength, they probably wouldn't think this way.

The strength of the Heavenly Devil Archipelago is not that simple either. Since Nascent Soul Stage cultivators cannot act, they are very likely to send multiple Golden Core Peak cultivators.

The Tianmen Island Lord hesitated for a moment and said, "First Elder, you have been at the Nascent Soul Stage for a long time. After you return this time, do your best to break through to the golden core middle stage, and then take a Spiritual Essence Pill to break through to the golden core late stage."

"At that time, this island lord will need you to preside over the formation, leading all the golden core cultivators from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago into the formation. At that time, other cultivators will be unable to withstand a single blow."

The four great elders asked with some confusion, "Formation? I wonder what the Island Lord is referring to?"

The Tianmen Island Lord said with a smile, "Naturally, it's the heaven gate formation. Back then, the heaven gate patriarch used the heaven gate formation to kill a Nascent Soul old monster."

The four great elders couldn't help but gasp. The third elder quickly closed the main door and coldly said, "Everyone present, make a heart demon vow. If anyone dares to leak this matter, they will absolutely not die a good death."

A look of joy appeared on the Tianmen Island Lord's face. This third elder was indeed perceptive.

Without the slightest hesitation, all the elders made their vows one after another.

Seeing this, the third elder then said, "Everyone, I apologize, but for the sake of our Tianmen Island, old ancestor had to do this."

The Tianmen Island Lord laughed and said, "Third Elder did the right thing, it was this island lord who was negligent."

The third elder quickly said, "Old ancestor overstepped, please forgive me, Island Lord."

His attitude was very good, and he was very capable. The Tianmen Island Lord liked such an elder very much and slightly nodded, saying, "Third Elder has rendered meritorious service, how could this island lord punish the third elder? This island still has two Spiritual Essence Pills."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "One will be given to the first elder, and the remaining one will be given to the third elder. At that time, you and the first elder will preside over the formation."

The third elder was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Island Lord, thank you, Island Lord."

The other two elders had smiles on their faces, but in their hearts, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, only regretting that they didn't mention this matter sooner than the third elder.

The four great elders were originally all at the Nascent Soul Stage. Now, it's good. The first elder is about to break through to the golden core late stage, and the third elder is about to break through to the golden core middle stage. Only the second elder and the Fourth Elder are left.

Especially the second elder, he was very unwilling. After the third elder breaks through, will he still be the second elder, or will that guy be the second elder?

But this was decided by the Island Lord, no one dared to change it, they could only give up.

The Tianmen Island Lord laughed and said, "Don't envy them. As long as you render meritorious service, even if it costs more spiritual stones, this island lord can obtain Spiritual Essence Pills."

The two elders quickly said, "Yes!, Thank you, Island Lord."

It's just that they were very disdainful in their hearts. Who doesn't know how to draw a big picture? If the Island Lord was really that powerful, he would have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage long ago, and wouldn't be reaching the end of his lifespan with only over sixty years left.

The two of them didn't dare to say these words out loud, they could only say them in their hearts.

The Tianmen Island Lord said with satisfaction, "First Elder, you go to the li family. Third Elder, you go cultivate. Second Elder and Fourth Elder, arrange the disciples well, and be ready for battle at any time."

The four great elders quickly responded, "Yes!, Island Lord."

...

To the west of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, on a remote island, nine cultivators wearing black robes sat in a cave dwelling.

A domineering young man in black robes sat in the main seat, with four Golden Core Stage demon cultivators on his left and right.

"Mo Baifeng, tell us about the situation of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago."

A middle-aged man with graying hair said, "Reporting to Young Master, the Heaven's Gate Archipelago has a total of five great golden core forces and forty-six foundation establishment forces."

"Among the golden core forces, besides Tianmen Island, only yunfeng island in the north has two Golden Core Stage cultivators, one in the golden core middle stage.

It is unknown if they have broken through to the golden core late stage."

"Among the foundation establishment forces, only three li families in the oriental direction need attention: the feng li family, the yuan li family, and the li family.

However, the li family is newly rising, so we can try to win them over."

"There are four forces in the south that need attention, five foundation establishment forces in the north that need attention, and likewise four in the west."

"These forces all have more than ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and the strongest are at the Foundation Establishment Peak, even having fake core cultivators."
