Chapter 319: The War Ten Thousand Years Ago

City Guard Department.

Chu Ning and Lin Jin were also resting.

This battle was a huge drain on both of them, not only in terms of spiritual power, but more importantly in terms of spirit.

"Friend Ji, I had heard about the sea monsters attacking the city in the East China Sea before I came here, but I never thought I would encounter one myself."

Lin Jin smiled bitterly. Hearing and experiencing it personally are two different things.

"Who says it's not?"

Chu Ning was also deeply touched. Even with his cowardly personality, he became passionate this time.

Although it is also for self-rescue, when faced with a racial war, especially when being invaded, the emotions are somewhat different.

He could now understand why the scholar Zhang Juxian shouted "God bless the Chu Kingdom" in the Tianhuo Region.

In Zhang Juxian's eyes, the invasion of Wu State was equivalent to the invasion of this sea monster.

"Friend Ji should be able to receive rewards from the East China Sea Alliance this time." After expressing his feelings for a few words, Lin Jin said with a smile.

"If possible, I would rather not encounter this sea monster attacking the city."

Chu Ning knew what reward Lin Jin was talking about, and what he said was from his heart.

In the East China Sea, if sirens attack the city, the teleportation array will be closed and all monks will be trapped in the city or island. The only way out is to resist.

Of course, it is nothing for the local cultivators in the East China Sea, but the cultivators from other regions will definitely be dissatisfied. The East China Sea Alliance announced to the public that any foreign cultivators who died in the siege will receive compensation from the East China Sea Alliance.

If you can survive, the East China Sea Alliance will also give you generous rewards.

This is compensation for foreign monks, similar to forced conscription with high wages.

The two did not talk about this topic anymore. Chu Ning smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is from the Zixiao Sect in Shaoyang Territory. Your sect is a big sect."

There are only two top sects in Shaoyang Territory, and Zixiao Sect is one of them.

"I am just an ordinary disciple in the sect."

Chu Ning didn't believe Lin Jin's answer. It was obvious that the mirror was not an ordinary item and it was impossible for an ordinary disciple to take it out.

Chu Ning really wanted to use the secret mirror, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

The Secret Mirror can see other people's secrets and is indeed a magical weapon, but it will become addictive if used too much. Sometimes knowing too many secrets of others is not a good thing.

Chu Ning set a rule for himself that unless there were some unusual situations where he needed to use the Secret Mirror, or when he needed to know other people's secrets, he would never use the Secret Mirror if it was just a casual acquaintance or an acquaintance.

"There is a senior Zhuo in your sect. Does Brother Lin know him?"

"Senior Zhuo, could it be that Fellow Daoist Ji is talking about Senior Brother Zhuo Jincheng?"

Lin Jin thought about the disciples of the sect. The only one who could be addressed as a senior by this Daoist Fellow Ji was a powerful God Transformation Master. The only powerful God Transformation Master with the surname Zhuo was Senior Brother Zhuo Jincheng.

"Yes, it's this senior. Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know Senior Zhuo?"

Although Lin Jin is also a disciple of Zixiao Sect, Zixiao Sect is a large sect with thousands of disciples. If Lin Jin is just an ordinary disciple, it is impossible for him to know Zhuo Jincheng.

You have to know that Zhuo Jincheng was already a powerful god-transforming cultivator hundreds of years ago, and Lin Jin at that time should have been just a golden elixir cultivator like himself.

"Senior Brother Zhuo is the disciple of the Seventh Elder. Of course I have heard of him."

After listening to Lin Jin's answer, Chu Ning understood that Lin Jin was probably a direct disciple of an elder of the Zixiao Sect.

"How did Fellow Daoist Ji know Senior Brother Zhuo?"

Lin Jin was a little curious. Considering Ji Yang's age and realm, he should be of the wrong generation as Senior Brother Zhuo. When Senior Brother Zhuo was traveling in the outer realm, Fellow Daoist Ji should have been only in the Golden Core realm and it was impossible for him to have any intersection with Senior Brother Zhuo.

"I once had the honor of meeting Senior Zhuo, but I only knew Senior Zhuo, and Senior Zhuo didn't know me."

After hearing Chu Ning's explanation, Lin Jin made a judgment in his mind that Senior Brother Zhuo must have had some connection with a senior from Tianji Sect, and Fellow Daoist Ji happened to be at the scene at that time.

When talking about Zhuo Jincheng, Lin Jin's expression was a little dull. He didn't have a good impression of this Senior Brother Zhuo. This man was too ruthless.

Most of the sect disciples were afraid of Brother Zhuo, and when it came to outsiders, Brother Zhuo would wipe out entire families. Although he did this to prevent future troubles, Brother Zhuo not only wiped out the entire family, he also spared their relatives.

Feeling that Lin Jin was not interested in talking about Zhuo Jincheng, Chu Ning had an idea in his mind that this person and Zhuo Jincheng were probably not from the same faction.

A large sect must have multiple factions. Lin Jin and Zhuo Jincheng may not be in the same faction.

I have some grudges with Zhuo Jincheng, so I can develop this relationship with Lin Jin.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly looked up at the sky at the same time.

A powerful god-transforming expert has arrived.

"Friend Ji, Friend Lin, please come to the main courtyard."

After a cup of tea, Chu Ning and Lin Jin both received a message from Shi Lianghong. They looked at each other and stood up to go to the main courtyard.

Main courtyard.

An old man was sitting in the main seat. When Chu Ning and Lin Jin approached, the old man glanced at them.

"Hello, senior." Chu Ning and Lin Jin saluted at the same time.

"No need to be polite. I want to thank you two for helping to defend Dongshi City."

Ji Xueqing looked at Chu Ning and Lin Jin. Although both of them were in the late Nascent Soul stage, he could sense with his spiritual sense that both of them were not ordinary late Nascent Soul stage people.

The fact that Dongshi City was able to be defended this time was indeed thanks to these two people.

Chu Ning and Lin Jin didn't hesitate to say they didn't need it, as they had obtained it at the risk of their lives.

Ji Xueqing was about to continue speaking when his expression suddenly changed. He said to Shi Lianghong, "Hai San City is also under siege by sea monsters. I am going to provide support."

"Haisan City was also attacked by sea monsters?"

There was a look of disbelief on Shi Lianghong's face. Haisan City was not far from Dongshi City. If it flew normally, it would only take five hours to get there. This was not in line with the siren's previous habit of attacking cities.

When sirens attack a city, they usually don't choose two adjacent cities. If they are close, it will be convenient for the strong men of the East China Sea Alliance to provide support.

Ji Xueqing glanced at Shi Lianghong's broken arm and did not ask Shi Lianghong to take the monks from Dongshi City to support Haisan City.

Dongshi City was also seriously damaged, and he couldn't bear it.

"You guys should be careful. This siege is a little unusual."

There were some things Ji Xueqing did not say. According to the information he received, about ten cities in the East China Sea were attacked by sea monsters.

Such large-scale sieges have been extremely rare in the last few thousand years.

Currently, only the top leaders of the East China Sea Alliance know about this news, and the entire East China Sea region has not yet been notified for fear of causing panic.

Of course, the strong men in each city have already received the news and started to strengthen their defenses.

Ji Xueqing came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving Chu Ning and the other two looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Friend Ji, Friend Lin, Senior Ji has already calculated your military merits before he left. Here are your military merit tokens. With these tokens, you can go to the War Merit Hall of the East Sea Alliance to exchange for treasures."

Shi Lianghong took out two tokens. Chu Ning took the tokens, injected spiritual power into them, and a string of numbers appeared on the tokens.

3258.

This is the military achievement he has achieved.

Lin Jin next to him also injected spiritual power into the token, but the number that appeared on it was 2358, a difference of 900 military merits between the two.

"Will you two fellow Taoists continue to stay in Dongshi City?" Shi Lianghong asked.

"I have been in Dongshi City for several days." Lin Jin gave the answer.

Shi Lianghong had a look of joy on his face and looked at Chu Ning again. Although the sea monster was defeated and it was highly unlikely that it would attack the city again, having one more powerful late Nascent Soul stage warrior in charge would give them more confidence.

"I'll be in the city for a while, too."

Like Lin Jin, Chu Ning decided to stay in Dongshi City.

Now, there are countless cities in the East China Sea that have been attacked by sea monsters. Dongshi City has experienced it before, so it should be safe.

For Chu Ning, he came to find Tang Xiaoniu, but so many years have passed, there is no need to rush.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The East China Sea is not peaceful right now, so just stay in Dongshi City for a while.

It's not like he's acting in an idol romance drama, where he has to cross the battlefield to meet the other side in the midst of war.

Chu Ning and Lin Jin settled down in Dongshi City, and their house was naturally the best in the entire city.

Returning to the courtyard where he lived, Chu Ning took out the instant communication device, which would respond as long as there was information.

When Chu Ning put his spiritual sense into it, he did not find the message sent by Sihai Trading Company, but received a notification.

Instant Messenger users can communicate through Instant Messenger.

Online chat?

This was the first thing Chu Ning thought of. He had never thought that someone would do something for such a small thing.

The next moment, a message appeared in the jade slip.

[Old Taoist of the East Sea: This time the sea monster's attack on the city is somewhat unusual. Twelve cities and islands have already been besieged by the sea monster.]

Fifteen breaths later, another message appeared.

[Dreaming in the Wind: The latest news is that there are already seventeen of them, and six sea monsters at the level of god transformation have appeared.]

[Old Taoist priest from the East Sea: There are seventeen of them now. Could it be that the catastrophe that happened ten thousand years ago will be repeated? ]

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. In the introduction about the East China Sea that he saw in Danyu, there was a mention of a great war that took place in the East China Sea ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, the sirens in the East China Sea came out in full force. There were dozens of them at the God Transformation level alone, and there was even one siren that surpassed the God Transformation level.

In that battle, more than half of the monks in the East China Sea died. Finally, other regions began to support the East China Sea, and the sirens retreated to the deep sea.

It was this battle that caused the East Sea Region's ranking to drop to eighth, only slightly stronger than the Jinglan Region. You should know that before that battle, the East Sea Region was ranked third.

[The man who walked out of the Immortal Gate: In the war that year, the sea monsters also launched attacks on more than a dozen cities at the very beginning. No one paid attention to it at the time, which led to the disaster later. This time, the alliance should have been prepared early. ]

The East China Sea Alliance emerged after that war.

Before that great war, each sect in the East China Sea fought on its own. When one sect was besieged by sea monsters, other sects chose to stand by and watch, or even hoped that the sect would be destroyed by the sea monsters so that they could swallow up the territory left by the other sect.

The sirens only know how to kill and will not stay on the island continent for long.

It was precisely because these sects were fighting each other and each was minding their own business, while the sea monsters were a whole, that many monks died. By the time the various sects reacted, it was already too late.

After the sirens devoured the human monks, their realm was elevated. Instead of decreasing due to the decrease in numbers, their overall strength actually increased.

It was after this great war that the sects in the East China Sea realized that the harm posed by the sea monsters was threatening the entire East China Sea region and that no sect could be immune to it. Therefore, at the initiative of some powerful sect leaders, the East China Sea Alliance was formed.

The East China Sea Alliance does not participate in any power disputes in the East China Sea, but when it comes to matters concerning sea monsters, any sect must obey the dispatch of the East China Sea Alliance.

The East China Sea Alliance is a bit like the military. It does not normally get involved in any local affairs, but once a wartime state is declared, it will take over everything.

After waiting for a while, Chu Ning found that no one was sending messages through the instant messaging service, but he fell into deep thought.

The safest thing to do now is to leave the East China Sea immediately. No matter whether this sea monster will launch a large-scale siege next, these things will have nothing to do with him after leaving the East China Sea.

But what should Tang Ruowei do? Given the current situation in the East China Sea, Tang Ruowei, as a disciple of Suxin Island, is definitely unable to leave the East China Sea.

It was impossible for him to hide in the outside world by himself and watch Tang Ruowei put herself in danger.

After a while, Chu Ning came out of the courtyard and sent a message to Shi Lianghong.

"Friend Ji, do you want to use the teleportation array?"

Shi Lianghong was a little surprised. He thought Ji Yang would choose to leave the East China Sea, and he also thought Ji Yang would stay in the city, but he never thought Ji Yang would go deep into the East China Sea through the teleportation array.

"Friend Ji, the East China Sea is not peaceful right now, so it's best not to go deeper."

Shi Lianghong kindly reminded him, and Chu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Daoist Fellow Shi. I also know this, but I have reasons why I have to go deeper."

"Okay, then Fellow Daoist Ji, follow me."

After hearing Chu Ning's words, Shi Lianghong stopped persuading him. They were all cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage and they would consider the pros and cons before doing anything.

Teleportation array.

Shi Lianghong formed seals with his hands and placed a spirit stone engraved with runes on the teleportation array. Soon, light flashed under the teleportation array again.

"Which place are you going to, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

"Zhenhai City."

Zhenhai City is the farthest city that Dongshi City can teleport to. Although it has not reached Suxin Island yet, it is the closest city to Suxin Island.

Shi Lianghong nodded and changed the destination of the teleportation array. Chu Ning stepped onto the teleportation array. Shi Lianghong clasped his fists towards Chu Ning and said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

A flash of light passed by, and Chu Ning's figure disappeared on the spot.

…

…

Suxin Island.

Suxin Island is not an isolated island. There are island groups around it, with dozens of islands scattered around, with Suxin Island as the center.

The Suxin Islands are inhabited by the disciples of Suxin Island, their families and descendants, as well as other cultivators from the East China Sea.

At this moment, figures were flying over the island, heading towards Suxin Island in the center.

Tang Ruowei, dressed in red, is also one of the many figures flying at high altitude.
