In response to Patriarch Blood Lianzi's praise, Lord Seven smiled, but didn't say anything. He clasped hands and bowed again.
The Patriarch formed by the blood threads in the sky smiled and shifted his gaze to Seven Blood Children's main city. Given his height and his Cultivation base, he seemed to be able to see all of the disciples in the city.
As he looked down, his voice boomed out like thunder, one word at a time.
"The Peak Lords and Elders have agreed to participate in this battle. However, Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators are not obligated to do so. I know that you Cultivators have worked hard to achieve your current Cultivation base, risking your lives. The Sect may have helped you along the way, but not much.
"Therefore, you will not be forced to participate in the battle. Rewards will be given to those who wish to participate. The entire battle will be carried out on a voluntary basis. Disciples of the Seven Blood Children, who wish to participate?" As soon as the words left the Patriarch's mouth, the identity medallions of all Cultivators in the fifth level of Qi Condensation and higher began to vibrate. Numerous information regarding the benefits of participating in the battle appeared.
When this information appeared, all the cultivators instantly knew about it after taking it out. Some of their eyes lit up with desire after they finished reading it.
It didn't take long for voices to fill the main city and the mountain peaks.
"Disciples are willing to participate in the battle!
"Disciples are willing to participate in the battle!!"
As the voices of participation rang out, numerous figures flew up from the main city and the seven mountain peaks to hover respectfully in the air.
There were Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as Qi Condensation cultivators who had arrived using flying talismans.
Xu Qing looked up at all of this, then pulled out his identity medallion and began to read the information.
"Participants will be rewarded according to their Cultivation bases. Rewards for the fifth level of Qi Condensation begin at 500 Spirit Stones, 3,000 for the highest level of Great Circle, 100,000 Spirit Stones, and 500,000 Spirit Stones for the highest level of Great Circle. Those who agree to participate will be rewarded immediately. However, once you do, you will not be allowed to withdraw until the battle is over. However, during the period of time, you will be free to participate. This is the first benefit of participating in the battle. Xu Qing's expression flickered as he read the information.
"During the period of time, missions will be issued by the Peak Lords to the Elders of the various mountain peaks. Once the Elders issue a mission, anyone from any mountain peak may accept it. The rewards will be extremely generous.
"Participants will not be required to report any personal gains from the mission. They will be kept by themselves!
"After the victory of the War of the Seven Blood Children, all those who participated in the war will be rewarded according to the quality and quantity of the tasks completed!
"In addition, the soul of the Sea Corpse Race has a miraculous effect on the cultivators of my sect who cultivate the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Scripture. It is incomparably delicious. You will know once you try it!
"Who is willing to participate in this war? The rewards for this war are already so many spirit stones. I can imagine how amazing the missions that follow will be. When Xu Qing saw this, he was very tempted.
He was in dire need of spirit stones.
Especially after buying the magic tool and the poisonous plant, although he had spirit stones in his pocket now, it was only enough for daily life.
Spirit Stones were extremely important to Cultivation. Xu Qing knew that if he had 10,000,000 Spirit Stones right now, then he could issue missions outside of war. He could get large numbers of Cultivators from the Sect to go out and capture Foundation Establishment sea beasts for him. If he had even more Spirit Stones, he could even ask the Elders to help.
In this way, the difficulty of opening 30 acupoints would be greatly reduced.
Even if he didn't ask the elders for help, as long as he had enough spirit stones, he could refine a magical ship that was even more powerful than a magical ship. If he was careful, he would be able to control a region of the forbidden sea.
Therefore, the rewards for this war made Xu Qing's breathing quicken.
The souls of the sea corpses were especially tempting to Xu Qing, who had tasted the sweetness of victory. He was a decisive person, so after thinking for a while, he made up his mind.
At this moment, one figure after another rushed into the sky. Voices of participation rose one after another. The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the seven peaks of the Seven Blood Children added up to about a thousand. This time, a full seventy percent of the cultivators had chosen to participate in the war. They were densely packed, and their imposing manner was astonishing. The winds blew in all directions, and the sea churned violently.
The figures of the elders also came out from their respective mountains and stood beside the Peak Leaders of the respective mountains.
At the same time, on the ground of the main city, countless Qi Condensation cultivators weighed the pros and cons. Some chose to participate in the war, while others were prepared to observe.
After all, those who could become disciples of the Seven Blood Children and live beyond the fifth level of Qi Condensation were not ordinary people.
"Open the Sect's Grand Formation and open the teleportation link to the Mermaid Island!
As Xue Lianzi spoke, the Seven Blood Children roared. The Seven Blood Children on the seven peaks emitted a demonic light that enveloped the entire area.
The Grand Formation was activated.
Everyone's identity medallions contained not only information about the rewards, but also a simple plan for the war. It seemed that the Sect was not afraid of this plan being exposed.
The entire plan was to use the four islands of the Mermaid Island as the frontline command center. Everyone who participated in the war only needed to hold their identity medallions and silently say "Join the war." Then, they would be teleported directly to the Mermaid Island, where they would gather.
This way, the battlefield would be far away from the Seven Blood Children. The Mermaid Island was strategically located between the Seven Blood Children and the Sea Corpse Tribe.
Previously, the Seven Blood Children had used the Grand Competition as a cover to break into the Sea Corpse Tribe's internal strife. The Sea Corpse Tribe had been caught off guard, and the Seven Blood Children had taken them down.
Therefore, the first step of the strategic plan had been completed. Next was the second step, which was to completely stabilize the Mermaid Island and the Sea Corpse Tribe's counterattack.
The first step was considered a conspiracy, and the second step was an open strategy.
"Participants, move out!"
Xue Lianzi waved his hand, and his figure transformed into countless terrifying red lines that whistled toward the Sect's Grand Formation. In an instant, he disappeared, teleported away.
Then, the Peak Lords of the five Peaks stepped in one after another.
Behind them were the Elders of the various Peaks, and finally, the more than seven hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the seven Peaks.
The group of people exuded a monstrous murderous aura as they were teleported away.
Xu Qing was among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and he didn't immediately teleport away. Instead, he glanced at the Seven Blood Children's main city.
Although the Sect must have left some power behind to protect it, it was clearly much more empty than before. Even with the Sect Grand Formation activated, this flaw was still there.
Up until now, the Seven Blood Children had given Xu Qing the feeling that they were all scheming people. Therefore, he didn't believe that the Sect Ancestor and the Peak Lords would be so careless.
"Then it's very likely that the Seven Blood Children's foundation isn't limited to what we see now. There must be something even more profound. It's even possible that the Sect and the main city are a trap, a trap to lure other forces here."
Xu Qing looked thoughtfully at the Sect Grand Formation. The light in his eyes dimmed, and he held the identity medallion in his hand.
"Join the war!"
In the next instant, Xu Qing's figure was enveloped by a beam of light from the Array above, and his entire body disappeared.
At this moment, in the main city, light beams like this appeared one after another, and a large number of disciples were teleported away under these beams of light.
One could imagine that in the coming days, more and more of these beams of light would appear.
At this moment, in the Forbidden Sea, where the Mermaid Clan's four islands were, the light of the Seven Blood Children's main city's Array Formation enveloped all four islands.
In addition to the Seven Blood Children's main city's Array Formation, the Array Formation here was synchronized with the Seven Blood Children's main city, allowing the disciples to teleport here instantly.
As far as the eye could see, outside the four islands, wind and thunder were rumbling in the sky. Roars were unceasingly heard, as if there were experts fighting. Even further away, on the sea, the waves were turbulent, and fog was lingering. The sound of fighting and fighting could be clearly heard coming from the fog.
Si Luke
Vaguely, one could see that most of the people fighting against the Sea Corpse Clan were from the Mermaid Clan!
Obviously, after their entire clan was suppressed, the Mermaid Clan had chosen to completely submit and were arranged to be the first wave of forces in the war.
However, this battle was not extremely intense, and it seemed to be normal. On these four islands, countless buildings that were different from the Mermaid Clan's had been erected.
There were towers one after another.
Each tower flashed with blue lightning, and they swam in all directions, connecting with the other towers, making the four islands seem to be connected as one.
There were also countless large artifacts built on the four islands. Occasionally, there would be a roar, triggering a row of spells that landed on the battlefield in the distance.
At the same time, there were Array Formations that filled the four islands. Every few breaths, Array Talisman shadows would form in the sky and quickly integrate into the world, reinforcing the Array Formations here.
At the same time, simple living quarters were opened up. A large amount of foreign matter was extracted from Hidden Island, and as if it was being controlled, it turned into a nine-headed snake that stood for the Seven Blood Children.
The many volcanoes on Mee 'e Island were the same. After being set up by the Seven Blood Children, they were erupting. Every time they did, the ground would shake, and a terrifying power would pour out in all directions.
It was the same with Yin Meiqi. More than half of the island had been turned into a Sword Pool. Flying swords were soaked in it, as if they were being nurtured. This was clearly a method of the First Peak. Once it was activated, it would definitely shake the world.
The biggest change was on Captive Island.
An eye had been planted on the island, and it was about the size of seventy percent of the island. It was shockingly huge, and if one looked closely, they would be able to see that it looked exactly like the Seven Blood Children. In the blink of an eye, streams of information were sent to the identity medallions of the Cultivators on the four islands.
When Xu Qing arrived, he was hovering in midair above Mee 'e Island. As soon as he appeared, he saw the four islands of the Merfolk Clan.
Xu Qing's mind trembled as he looked off into the distance. Hovering in midair above Captive Island was Blood Lianzi, flanked by the five Peak Lords.
Next to him were two other Peak Lords, who were bowing respectfully to Patriarch Blood Lianzi, apparently reporting to him.
One of them was an old woman, who stood atop a vast spell formation diagram that seemed to be made up of tens of thousands of overlapping spell formations. Her energy was not weak at all.
The other Peak Lord was an old man. His face was dark, and he didn't seem very dignified at all. Instead, he seemed to be filled with bitterness, as if there were some bitter tribulation in his heart that he had never been able to resolve.
He held a gourd of alcohol in his hand, which he drank as he flew up into the air.
These were none other than the Peak Lords of the Fifth and Sixth Peaks.
Looking at this, Xu Qing suddenly realized why the Peak Lords of the Fifth and Sixth Peaks had not appeared in the sect previously.
The changes to the four islands of the Merfolk Clan were the result of the arrangements and arrangements made by the Peak Lords!
