Chapter 809: Battle

One day later, the Wanshou Sect welcomed a grand event. Two great masters from the Lianhua Temple and the Yanri Sect came to the Wanshou Sect with the formal surrender letters from the two major sects.

Master Hu and several other great masters wanted Li Shiming to attend this grand event, but Li Shiming refused.

He had no interest in power and fame. With his alchemy skills, fame and wealth could be obtained at any time without having to control a force to gain benefits.

He ignored the hustle and bustle outside and stayed in his own cave, practicing quietly.

He separated a brain, IBMz15, to monitor the Dongqi continent through a drone satellite system.

Today, the drone satellite system has covered most of the Dongqi Continent, especially the two mountain gates of the Wanshou Sect and the original Taichu Sect.

The current Taichu Sect's mountain gate has been changed to the Wanshou Sect's Taichu Branch. Although the residual lightning energy has been cleared from the ground there, it will still take a long time to use the spiritual veins to rebuild the spiritual fields.

Now on the surface of the Taichu branch, a large number of spiritual plant masters who have gathered from all over are busy.

Among them, in addition to some spiritual plant masters left in the cave by Taichu Sect, there are also some spiritual plant masters requested from Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect.

It just so happened that the two major sects handed over a large number of resource points, so the spiritual plant masters had a lot of surplus.

Although Li Shiming didn't care much about the current situation, Master Hu still sent him news of the latest developments through his identity jade disc many times.

The Lotus Temple and the Yanri Sect shrank their sphere of influence and gave up most of their sphere of influence to the Wanshou Sect.

The Wanshou Sect occupies more than three-quarters of the resource points in the Dongqi Continent and owns two large sect gates.

Especially in the Taichu branch, after Li Shiming recognized the core of Taichu Cave Heaven as the master, he obtained the authority of the spirit of the weapon.

Through the spirit of the weapon, the isolated cave space surrounding the Taichu branch was released again, making it so that the thousand-mile radius of the Taichu branch could only be entered by the monks of the Wanshou Sect.

Li Shiming did not stay in the Taichu branch, but returned to the Wanshou Sect.

He is the strongest fighter of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Even if he does not attend the surrender ceremony of the two major sects, he must be in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to give the two major sects enough deterrence.

Of course, no matter how crazy the two major sects were, they would not dare to have any conflicts with the Wanshou Sect at a time when the Taichu Sect was about to be destroyed.

If the Wanshou Sect had not yet truly grown up and did not have enough great cultivators to suppress the expansion of its sphere of influence, the Wanshou Sect would have asked Li Shiming to take action to destroy the two major sects long ago.

Li Shiming's cave now enjoys the quota of spiritual energy supply from two great monks. Although a slight increase in spiritual energy does not have much impact on him, it is enough to show how much the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect values ​​him.

He did not enter his own paradise. At least before he solved the big problem, he still needed to be careful at all times.

The two representatives of Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect completed the ceremony in humiliation. They knew that from now on the two major sects would gradually decline, but compared with Taichu Sect, this was already an excellent result.

After giving up a large number of spheres of influence and resource points, the resources of the monks in Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect are now insufficient to distribute. The next step is either to seek resources in the ocean or to dismiss some of the monks.

Seeking resources in the ocean is extremely dangerous. Even if a great cultivator demands too much from the ocean and dares to enter the deep sea to snatch resources, he will suffer revenge from the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beasts in the ocean.

Besides, almost all the offshore resources of the Dongqi continent’s oceans are controlled by the Wanshou Sect.

This is because the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect all have their own spiritual pets. The combat power of one cultivator is equivalent to that of two cultivators. As spiritual beasts, spiritual pets are particularly suitable for fighting with spiritual beasts in the sea. This is why the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has been occupying the resources near the coast.

Even if the Wanshou Sect had been suppressed before, the other three sects would not be able to develop offshore resources on a large scale like the Wanshou Sect.

Of course, if the coastal sea is given to the three major sects for hundreds or thousands of years, the three major sects will probably develop an effective way to fight against the spirit beasts.

Although there are super powers behind the Lianhua Temple and the Yanri Sect, the super powers behind the two major sects will not interfere in collusion with other super powers and internal strife in the Dongqi Continent.

Only the Taichu Sect was wiped out, and the attitude of the super power behind it is unclear.

However, there is no need to worry too much. The strength displayed by Li Shiming this time is enough to make even the super powers have to deal with it with caution.

Once Li Shiming has a battle with a top-level great cultivator, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will be able to truly occupy the newly added sphere of influence in the Dongqi Continent, and no superpower will dare to covet it anymore.

At least before Li Shiming died, even if Li Shiming left the Dongqi Continent, the Wanshou Sect would be safe.

This is the role of top combat power. When a force possesses top combat power, it can obtain a sphere of influence that matches this combat power.

It's just that the Wan Beast Sect's foundation is too shallow, and the sphere of influence it occupies still needs Li Shiming's reputation to suppress it in the short term. Once the Wan Beast Sect's great cultivators reach a certain level, they will be able to use the Wan Beast Sect's own strength to suppress its sphere of influence.

As time went by, Li Shiming did not enter into deep-level cultivation, and his efficiency in practicing the 'Heavenly Art' was not high.

But the advantage of doing this is that you can exit the training state at any time and engage in battle.

"Ren Mu is approaching Dongqi Continent soon. He will stay at the branch of Zhongzhou Trading Company for a while to learn about Dongqi Continent and your situation!" To Li Shiming's surprise, Great Monk Liu Ziyun sent him a message.

Before Li Shiming's drone satellite system detected the arrival of Master Ren Mu, Master Liu Ziyun, the director of Zhongzhou Trading Company in Dongqi Continent, informed him of the relevant information.

He was very puzzled by the behavior of Master Liu Ziyun. Even if he had a contract with Master Liu Ziyun, the other party did not have to do it so thoroughly.

In fact, Great Monk Liu Ziyun did have some considerations. This time, the battle between Great Monk Ren Mu and Li Shiming was a test for Li Shiming.

If Li Shiming can survive from the hands of the top great monk Ren Mu, it will prove that Li Shiming is qualified to continue cooperating with Liu Ziyun's faction.

If he were to die at the hands of Master Ren Mu, everything would be over and there would be no more contract.

Great Monk Liu Ziyun passed the information to Li Shiming just as a gesture of goodwill. In fact, whether the information was passed on or not, it would have no substantial impact on the battle between Li Shiming and Great Monk Ren Mu.

For a great monk of the level of Great Monk Ren Mu, the so-called ambushes and traps are of little significance.

There are very few traps that can trap a peak great monk. Even super powers find it difficult to set them up, let alone Li Shiming, a great monk who comes from a big sect.

"Thank you!" Li Shiming replied.

He told Master Hu that he was going to leave the sect for a while, but did not tell the reason because he did not want to make his master worry.

From the gate of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he used the "Reach in One Go" technique to rush to the Dongqi Continent branch of the Zhongzhou Trading Company, a place he was very familiar with.

'In one fell swoop' was performed with full force, using ten brains, and there was almost no interval between each 'In one fell swoop'. Although the consumption was huge, after reaching the level of a great monk, this consumption was nothing.

When he appeared above the Dongqi Continent branch of Zhongzhou Trading Company, the great monk Liu Ziyun saw him floating in the sky through the branch's formation, and the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

Because the great monk Ren Mu had not arrived yet, Li Shiming arrived first.

Great Monk Ren Mu sent the message to Great Monk Liu Ziyun when he was close to the coast of Dongqi Continent. After receiving the message, Great Monk Liu Ziyun sent it to Li Shiming.

In his opinion, Master Ren Mu was very close to the branch of Zhongzhou Trading Company, so he could wait for Master Ren Mu to meet Li Shiming after he handed over the information to him.

But he never expected that Li Shiming, who was obviously farther away, arrived here in just a short time of an incense stick.

Great Monk Liu Ziyun shook his head helplessly and prepared to go out to discuss with Li Shiming to see if Li Shiming could come later.

He thought about it and brought along Xin Jingyun, who was in the middle Nascent Soul stage. Xin Jingyun was the Nascent Soul stage cultivator who was responsible for contacting Li Shiming when Li Shiming was in the Dongqi Continent.

He thought that female cultivators would be easier to talk to, so he asked Xin Jingyun to take Li Shiming to sit far away.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you came so quickly!" Great Monk Liu Ziyun came up to Li Shiming and said with a wry smile.

"Indeed, the one coming over there should be Master Ren Mu!" Li Shiming was about to respond, but he felt something and turned his head to look into the distance and said.

In the sky, a flying boat was approaching rapidly. As the boat got closer, a faint yet powerful pressure that made even the great monks feel palpitations came.

Great Monk Liu Ziyun really wanted to ask Li Shiming to leave first, but the flying boat was too fast. Before he could open his mouth, the flying boat arrived in front of him.

Li Shiming stared at the flying boat and found that the quality of this flying boat was extremely high. It was a top-grade fourth-grade flying boat.

Even though he had several top-grade fourth-class flying boats, since most of the top-grade fourth-class flying boats he obtained were related to powerful people, the only one he could use was the 'Baidi Qingyun Boat'.

In fact, he didn't know that the 'White Emperor Light Cloud Boat' was also related to the powerful one, but it was only bestowed by the powerful one, and the interests involved were not enough to make the powerful one take action for the 'White Emperor Light Cloud Boat'.

"Junior Brother Liu, Dongqi is developing well, and you have trained another great monk. Why didn't you report it to the headquarters?" The fourth-grade top-level flying boat disappeared, revealing the figure of Great Monk Ren Mu. After looking at Li Shiming, he said to Great Monk Liu Ziyun.

You can't blame him for admitting his mistake. This time he only informed Great Monk Liu Ziyun. Theoretically, apart from the monks in the Dongqi Daji branch, no other monks would know about it, let alone come to greet him.

His vehicle was a fourth-grade super flying boat, which was extremely fast. It didn't take long from the time he notified Great Monk Liu Ziyun to the time he arrived at the branch.

Another point is that Li Shiming's age is too deceptive. In addition, when the 'Heavenly Art' does not actively reveal its aura, his aura is only at the early stage of a great cultivator.

"Li Shizhen greets fellow Taoist!" Li Shiming smiled slightly and performed a monk's salute.

"Li Shizhen, is this the Li Shizhen who killed Junior Brothers Qian and Lu?" When Master Ren Mu heard what Li Shiming said, he was stunned and asked uncertainly.

"If you are talking about the two great monks who were trying to rob me in the ocean, I was the one who killed them!" Li Shiming nodded.

"What a pity! When you were at the headquarters, I was in seclusion. If I were here, perhaps you wouldn't have been forced to leave Zhongzhou Trading Company, and we wouldn't have become enemies!" Great Monk Ren Mu looked at Li Shiming and said with some regret.

He turned to look at Great Monk Liu Ziyun, with a strange look in his eyes. Although he could not be sure of anything, there must be some close relationship between Great Monk Liu Ziyun and Li Shiming.

However, Zhongzhou Trading Company is somewhat different from other superpowers. The internal factional strife and competition are very serious. Everyone is a businessman and can do anything for profit.

Just look at a talented cultivator like Li Shiming, who is also a highly skilled alchemy master, and he was betrayed because of his own interests.

If Great Monk Liu Ziyun had introduced Li Shiming into his faction in advance, perhaps nothing would have happened later. At that time, Li Shiming had no background in the headquarters, so it was normal for him to be bullied.

"I don't want to be an enemy of a powerful cultivator like Fellow Daoist Ren, but things are unpredictable. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is in a state of disrepair. How about I hope that our battle can take place in the sea?" Li Shiming said with a smile.

"Okay, with your courage, as long as you rejoin Zhongzhou Trading Company after your defeat, I am willing to help you solve the rest of your troubles!" Master Ren Mu said with a big laugh.

"Then please come in!" Li Shiming made a gesture of invitation.

"Let's go!" Great Monk Ren Mu flew towards the ocean first.

Li Shiming nodded to the great monk Liu Ziyun and flew behind the great monk Ren Mu.

"Xin Jingyun, you go back. I'll go with you to see what's going on!" Great Monk Liu Ziyun would not stay behind. Watching a battle between top monks like this would be extremely beneficial to him. He gave Xin Jingyun an order and flew away.

Only Xin Jingyun was left in the air, staring blankly in the direction where the three great monks disappeared.

From the first moment she saw Li Shiming, it was like a dream.

Due to her work, she had more opportunities to spend time with Li Shiming, but she never imagined that when they met again many years later, Li Shiming had already become a great monk.

And he was the great monk who had made an appointment to fight with the great monk Ren Mu. Who was the great monk Ren Mu? He was the top great monk of Zhongzhou Trading Company, the top existence among the great monks, and one of the strongest monks under the half-step great power.

Her mind was still confused; the shock was too great for her.

She didn't even know whether she should bless Li Shiming or not. She just hoped that Li Shiming would survive and rejoin Zhongzhou Trading Company as Master Ren Mu said.

In that case, everything will return to the way it was before.

But it is not so easy to go back to the way it was before, and Li Shiming cannot return to Zhongzhou Trading Company, a force that betrayed him.
