His left arm was broken, and one eye was missing.
Judging from his injuries, it's not hard to guess that he had been through a brutal battle.
He walked out of the line, limping, into the gaze of the crowd.
He began, "After my alliance was defeated by the Dragon King last time, I fled to the Southern Region and met a Nascent Soul cultivator from Qingzhou."
"His name is Yuanzhi. He comes from the Wuchan Sect in Qingzhou and was sent to Yuzhou to gather intelligence."
"According to him, the cultivation world of Qingzhou already knows about the sea race's invasion."
"The five major sects have gathered at the border of Qingyu to defend against the sea tribes."
As he said this, a thoughtful look appeared in his only remaining eye.
"I think the sea creatures probably suffered a loss at the Qingyu border, which is why the Dragon King gathered his troops and headed to the Southern Region..."
The monk, in his miserable state, slowly shared his conjecture with everyone.
After hearing what he said, a glint of light flashed in everyone's eyes.
In this way, all the doubts can be explained.
Various forces in Qingzhou gathered at the Qingyu border.
They are definitely more worthy of being attacked than their half-dead Heavenly Alliance.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Dragon King changed direction.
The people who had figured it all out
"I never expected that Qingzhou would attract the Dragon King's attention..."
"I don't know if they can hold on."
"Don't even think about it. Qingzhou is no longer the Qingyu it once was. Its strength has declined drastically. It doesn't even have a single cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. How could it possibly withstand the Dragon King?"
The sound of hushed discussions could be heard from the cultivators below the stage.
However, everyone was pessimistic about whether Qingzhou could withstand the Dragon King's attack.
"Should we lend Qingzhou a hand right now?"
At this moment, Lin Bo stepped forward and made a suggestion in a low voice.
Although their Heavenly Alliance is now less than a third of its former strength.
But after all, there were still three Nascent Soul cultivators, fifty Enlightened Ones, and hundreds of Golden Core cultivators.
Normally, this would already be considered a regional hegemon.
Although they cannot directly confront the Dragon King.
However, Qingzhou attracted the main force of the Dragon King.
With their support from the sidelines, they were ultimately able to create some advantages for Qingzhou.
However, his idea was good.
However, upon hearing his suggestion, the monks in the hall all looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Still helping Qingzhou? We've finally managed to catch our breath, let them fend for themselves."
"Yeah, we're already in this state, so let's not worry about what happens to Qingzhou..."
Most people have an indifferent attitude.
After all, Qingzhou has not yet suffered from the devastation caused by the sea tribes.
Its strength has been preserved intact.
After the devastation inflicted by the sea tribes, the strength of their Yuzhou was reduced to less than a third of its former glory.
That's not how you say it!
Just as everyone was criticizing Lin Bo.
A figure stepped forward.
Looking at the person who was speaking, a hint of gratitude flashed in Lin Bo's eyes.
The person who spoke up in support of him was none other than Wei Jia, who had recently helped him defend Qinglan City.
"Everyone, do not forget that the purpose of establishing the Heavenly Dao Alliance is to drive the sea races back to the sea!"
Wei Jia's voice was passionate and stirring.
Although he was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
However, he showed no weakness in the face of the powerful figures at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation realms in the main hall.
"How can the Heavenly Dao Alliance achieve its goals by adopting such a cowardly and self-serving approach as you are now!"
Wei Jia's words were firm and resounding.
The moment the words fell, someone spoke up in support.
“What this fellow Daoist said makes sense. Qingzhou is in front and we are behind. If we can join forces with Qingzhou and attack from both sides, we will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the sea race.”
"That's right. Such a golden opportunity is too good to pass up. If we don't seize it, how can we face our deceased leader and the people who were slaughtered by the sea tribe!"
"Yes, we cultivators of Yuzhou should not live a life of cowardice!"
Most of the cultivators who spoke out against Linbo Weijia were injured.
They were clearly among the most fiercely resisting the sea creatures.
However, the other side was not to be outdone.
"Heh, look at yourselves! You're all missing limbs and trying to fight the sea creatures? Are you crazy?!"
"That's right, we finally managed to get rid of that plague, the Dragon King. If we bring it back, even ten thousand of you wouldn't be enough to kill!"
"Everyone should mind their own business. If you want to help, go ahead yourself, but don't take us with you..."
The two sides argued back and forth, getting into a heated debate.
Just as the argument in the hall was getting more and more heated.
"Quiet down, all of you!"
A loud voice came from the high platform, deafening, instantly silencing everyone's argument.
Everyone turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
It was discovered that the one speaking was the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder took a deep breath and said, "Now that our Heavenly Dao Alliance is weak, it is the time to recover."
"Let's not mention supporting Qingzhou anymore. It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm truly unable to help."
"Because in the coming period, we need to quickly strengthen our defenses to prevent other demon kings from attacking..."
The elder's voice was no longer as impatient as before.
The pressure from the Dragon King was immense.
He was constantly worried that the Dragon King would personally attack the gate.
The Dragon King's attention has now been drawn to the border of Qingyu.
He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking of this, he cut off his thoughts and said to everyone, "Since the Dragon King's attention has been drawn to Qingzhou..."
"Then everyone, let's hurry up and strengthen the defenses around Ciyi City."
"Also, pay close attention to the Dragon King's movements. If he returns, notify me immediately."
After he finished speaking, the Second Elder chimed in, "The First Elder is right. Everyone should just follow the previous plan and do what needs to be done..."
The fact that the two of them said that they didn't want to get involved in the situation in Qingzhou anymore was obvious.
The main reason was that they didn't want to provoke the Dragon King.
"Let's all disperse, everyone disperse."
The Grand Elder waved his hand impatiently.
After saying that, he and the Second Elder stood up from their seats, intending to leave.
But just then, an inappropriate voice rang out.
"I don't think this deployment is appropriate..."
A calm yet slightly cold voice sounded beside the two of them.
It was the Third Elder who had been observing coldly all along.
"I believe that we cannot stand idly by as the Dragon King withdraws his troops to Qingzhou to cultivate his skills!"
The Third Elder's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"The Dragon King is powerful, and Qingzhou alone certainly cannot stop him. If we do not seize this opportunity, what will happen when the Dragon King attacks Qingzhou and then turns around to attack us again?"
Having said that, the Third Elder glanced at the First Elder and the Second Elder.
He slowly stood up from his seat.
"Since the First Elder and the Second Elder value their lives and are unwilling to provoke the sea race."
"Then I'd rather not stay in the Heavenly Dao Alliance."
"Gentlemen, is there anyone willing to join me, Lu Yang, in supporting Qingzhou?"
