Ten thousand miles south of the Eastern Fence Sea, the originally quiet sea suddenly became restless.
Huge waves surged, and the fish and shrimps retreated. One after another, huge steel warships took advantage of the rapid waves to sail toward the north.
"Headmaster, we will arrive at the Eastern Fence Sea in four hours."
The one who spoke was a merman from the Sea Clan. His Yuan Qi surged and resonated with the Heavenly Cycle Sea. He controlled the giant sea current to carry the thousands of ships of the Seven Star Pirate Group. Its speed was not much slower than Sword Kinesis Flight.
Ye Qiyuan stood with his hands behind his back. His figure was tall and straight like a divine sword that pierced through heaven and earth. His Yuan Qi was so powerful that he could even affect the environment with a raise of his hand. Although the merman's aura was very powerful, he was like a firefly when he stood before Ye Qiyuan. He was completely unable to match up to Ye Qiyuan.
"Headmaster, Li Tai hasn't returned yet. I'm afraid he has met with misfortune."
A Reincarnation Realm expert wearing golden armor walked over and spoke. His aura was second only to Ye Qiyuan. His entire body was radiating with sharpness as though he had already reached the Unity Realm.
This person's name was Yuan Hao, and he was the Second Elder of the Seven Star Sword Pavilion. He was Ye Qiyuan's most trusted right-hand man and had followed Ye Qiyuan on many expeditions for many years.
Ye Qiyuan frowned slightly. "Although Old Fourth's skills weren't proficient, it has been 200 years since he broke through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. The person who could kill Old Fourth is definitely not an ordinary person. I'm afraid an expert from the Eastern Fence Sea Region has made a move."
"Then wouldn't our whereabouts have already been exposed?
What if the experts of the Martial Arts Sect come from the Eastern Fence Sea and want to capture us like turtles in a jar? Wouldn't that be troublesome? "
"I won't."
Ye Qiyuan asserted, "The Martial Arts Sect has just ascended the throne, and it's an eventful time. They don't have the time to care about a small Eastern Fence Sea. Even if they do send experts to help, they won't be able to arrive so quickly. As long as we hurry, it won't be a problem to take over the Eastern Fence Sea."
A ruthless look flashed across Ye Qiyuan's eyes. He said to the merman, "Speed up. Let's try to reach the Eastern Fence Sea before nightfall. Yuan Hao, summon Little Five and Little Six as well. Inform the entire group to prepare for battle. Once we enter the Eastern Fence Sea, take down a continent as quickly as possible and help me collect Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The fleet headed north at an extremely fast speed. It didn't take long for them to enter the Eastern Border Sea.
Countless cultivators charged onto the deck aggressively, summoning their flying swords, ready to go on a killing spree.
The Seven Star Sword Pavilion had been running rampant in the sea for over a hundred years, so this kind of thing was a common occurrence for them. Apart from the new pirates who were still somewhat excited, the other old pirates were already numb to it. To them, the Eastern Fence Sea was destined to be the same as the other continents that they had annihilated, becoming a scorched land.
"Report! We've discovered a large number of cultivators ahead. There are more than 3,000 of them!"
"Report! A large number of cultivators have been found at the bottom of the sea. There are more than a thousand of them!"
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot. You overestimate yourself."
Ye Qiyuan's expression was cold as he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, attack! Crush these ants!"
With Ye Qiyuan's command, countless streaks of sword light shot into the sky. Over 10,000 cultivators attacked on their swords. The resplendent streaks of sword light even drowned out the sunset glow of the western sky. It was a shocking sight.
The Eastern Fence Sea might have been prepared for battle and knew that the Seven Star Sword Pavilion's strength wasn't to be underestimated. However, after seeing the enemy's figure, they still panicked.
The disparity in strength between both sides was too great. There was no chance of victory.
"Don't panic. Our mission isn't to fight to the death with the enemy, but to stall for time. Everyone, try to unite as much as possible and don't be left alone. The Peacock Bright Monarch will provide us with array support."
A beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere. She held a black dragon spear in her hand. Her black hair fluttered in the wind. Under her sacred red robe was an unconcealable and charming figure.
Sacred Region Archbishop, Ye Beibei!
Her strength had already reached the fifth level of Reincarnation Realm. In the eyes of the Eastern Fence Sea's cultivators, she had great prestige and charisma.
"We can't back down in a battle of life and death. Behind us are billions of living beings. Even if we die in battle, we can't let this group of powerless people take half a step into the Eastern Fence Sea!"
Another beautiful figure flew over. Her thin and weak body seemed to contain an enormous amount of power.
It was Yue Ya 'er.
She could have stayed behind to provide support with peace of mind, but she resolutely rushed to the front of the formation.
Seeing how a frail young girl like Yue Ya 'er had such courage, the other cultivators seemed to be infected. They let go of their fear and took out their weapons and artifacts, preparing to fight to the death.
"Form the formation!"
The divine patterns rose and the killing formation appeared!
Kong Miaoyin appeared!
With a Reincarnation Realm expert overseeing, the Eastern Fence Sea Region's cultivators were even more confident.
Their battle intent was unprecedentedly exuberant!
"Hmph, ants are ultimately just a group of ants. In the face of absolute strength, they are destined to be unable to cause any ripples."
Ye Qiyuan waved his hand, and the army instantly moved out. They brought along an aura that could slash down the sky and destroy the heaven and earth.
"Rumble …"
Light splashed in all directions as sparks filled the sky. The whistling sword qi covered the sky. The great battle had already begun.
"Nine Palaces Great Array, activate!"
"Confinement Great Array, activate!"
"Hidden Killing Great Array, activate!"
"Four Symbols Great Array, activate!"
Kong Miaoyin knitted her brows tightly and immediately activated the four layers of divine pattern array that she had set up beforehand, forming an inescapable net.
On that day, the entire sea turned into a giant trap and forcefully intercepted the tens of thousands of cultivators flying over.
This was just the beginning.
Kong Miaoyin circulated her essence force and activated the divine pattern power hidden in the dragon bone. She shouted, "Dream Pagoda Illusion Array, activate!"
This was the Dream Pagoda Illusion Array that Su Chen used his divine talisman master power to condense and form on her body.
This was the first time Kong Miaoyin used the Dream Pagoda Illusion Array in actual combat.
Under the stacking of multiple array formations, a dense fog that contained intense killing intent surged up from the sea. This dense fog instantly caused all the Seven Star Sword Pavilion's cultivators to lose their sense of direction and run around like headless flies.
"Kill!"
Ye Beibei was already prepared. He led a group of Three Purities Sect's elite God Officials and directly charged into the maze array.
They had artifacts that could neutralize the effect of the maze array and were not affected by the Dream Pagoda Illusion Array.
In an instant, the illusion array became the main battlefield for the Eastern Fence's cultivators. They launched a frenzied massacre of the Seven Star Sword Pavilion's cultivators.
In just an instant, thousands of Seven Star Sword Pavilion's cultivators' blood splattered across the sky.
"I miscalculated!"
Ye Qiyuan did not expect the other party to have prepared such a powerful illusion array. This illusion array was definitely not something an ordinary Divine Pattern Master could condense. It was definitely the work of a divine talisman master. He could not let his guard down.
"Little Five, Little Six, you guys go and break this illusion array," Ye Qiyuan said.
"Don't worry, Sect Master. Little Five will not disappoint you," a handsome young man with red lips bowed and said.
Behind him was a young girl with red lips and empty eyes. She seemed a little shy and did not dare to face anyone directly.
Little Five and Little Six were a pair of brother and sister. They had no names and were raised by Ye Qiyuan since they were young. They were carefully nurtured by Ye Qiyuan. No one knew how long they had been by Ye Qiyuan's side and no one knew their age. They were Ye Qiyuan's shadows and swords in his hands. No matter where Ye Qiyuan pointed, they would charge forward courageously.
