“This young man has such a good disposition. If given the opportunity in the future, he will surely achieve great things. However, since his roots are already planted, it's not easy to change.” After ending his conversation with Lu Xiaoteng, Chen He waved frowned and said.

“Let’s deal with the immediate situation first. The Gujian Sect and Qingdan Palace have suffered losses due to this incident, quite a few disciples lost their lives. As for Lu Xiaoteng, he is ultimately indebted to Lingxiao Palace. Once this matter is settled, those old monsters will be unhappy. We should help him block some of their anger.”

Chen He Nian also didn't expect things to develop to this point, and Lu Xiao Tian had already guessed their intentions. Standing from the perspective of the Moon Viewing Cultivation World, discarding some pawns is a necessary measure when necessary.

From Lu Xiaitian's perspective, after knowing their intentions, shouldn't he be allowed to fight for his own life?

“Well, at least this kid is capable. He's actually controlling five warships now, and four of them are flying warships! Look at the hundreds of sects on both sides of the conflict – which one can boast the same audacity as our Lingxiao Palace? The Ancient Sword Sect and the Qingdan Palace have suffered losses, so they're not feeling good. But they still need the help of our Lingxiao Palace. Lu Xia Tian also knows this - if he loses, everything is over. But if he breaks through, even if the Ancient Sword Sect and the Qingdan Palace suffer some losses, they'll have to swallow their pride.”

Speaking of this, Chen He Yu also smiled when he thought of Wen Chang Yun and Ji Qian Shui's embarrassed appearance after being defeated.

Chen He Yu's anger came quickly and went quickly. Lu Xiao Tian slightly relaxed, since returning to Ling Xiao Palace, although he hadn't encountered opponents he couldn't resist like before, even a few duels with Golden Core cultivators were practically risk-free, easily killing his opponents.

But to move between the calculations of these two major Yuan Ying groups is a truly uncomfortable feeling. The slightest misstep could lead to a fate worse than death, making them unwelcome by both sides. The danger within this is no less than any previous time.

Chen He Yu had temporarily passed this stage, but whether he could ultimately open up the situation depended on his own efforts. Those Yuan Ying old monsters, after suffering a loss and losing many disciples, would not allow their disciples to take any risks for them. Lu Xia Tian was very clear about this. When he sorted out the clues before him, the gathering place of medicinal pills and spiritual herbs of Zhan Yue Alliance had already appeared in his sight.

The other party's defensive spirit shield is already activated. This kind of large-scale formation usually remains dormant most of the time, it's not something that can be turned on just by saying so. It takes a process. Even if there are enough Spirit Stones to speed things up, it still takes some time.

As soon as a few warships came into view, the defensive formation was already in place to a certain extent. It could be judged that the Yuan Ying ancestors of the Zhan Yue Alliance had long made arrangements.

“Lu Dao You, do you fight or not? This is the Jiulong Baoyuan Array, at least a hundred array mages need to cast spells together to preside over it. The consumption of spirit stones is quite expensive. To blast this formation open, with our two flying warships, we can only have more than twenty spirit cannons fire simultaneously, which isn't something that can be done in a short time,” Yuan Min transmitted voice and asked.

This formation is divided into nine positions, each with thirty-six stone pillars arranged in a dragon shape. Nine giant dragons composed of stone pillars encircle the nine cardinal directions, embracing the central core area. The formation within the formation is extremely mysterious. Yuan Min is a master of formations, and Lu Xiaoteng is no slouch either; they can see the essence of it.

"What are you fighting about? Go to the War Moon Alliance for repairs and crafting. There's a place called Spirit Weapon Land." Lu Xia Tian's face flashed with a hint of amusement. The War Moon Alliance might have thought he was coming aggressively with five warships, perhaps guessing if his spirit stones were enough, but after all, it was just a guess, not daring to bet on it.

This defensive formation boasts formidable defenses. Once activated, it's like having five warships unleashing their full firepower simultaneously. It becomes incredibly difficult to breach, akin to a turtle shell impervious to attack. Its power is undeniable, but naturally, activating it consumes a substantial amount of spirit stones.

<< Lu Xia Tian originally came to this place for the elixir and spirit herbs. He hadn't expected to gain so much. He only wanted to disrupt the other side's plans. >>

And now Lu Xiaotian's true intention is to go to the other party's refining magic weapon, spirit weapon place. That place needs to temper a large number of various spirit ores, similar to the work of ordinary people forging iron, but the task is more arduous and not a cultivator can bear it at all.

The War Moon Alliance and the Looking Moon Cultivation World have been at war for many years, naturally capturing quite a few prisoners. According to cultivators like Qiu Ruyi who surrendered, apart from some being used by senior members of certain sects to cultivate evil techniques, a considerable number had most of their abilities sealed and were brought here to do hard labor.

>

Many captured cultivators were worked to death, and in the nearby Broken Wolf Valley, the wild wolves, along with some lower-ranked wolf monsters, feasted on countless cultivator corpses. Now the white bones below are piled up like mountains.

Although Lu XiaTian had captured three warships, his actual combat power had decreased instead of increased. The biggest reason was the lack of manpower. In fact, with these two ships, the flying warships whose strength could not be fully exerted, posed a considerable threat to the Zhan Yue Alliance, but it wasn't yet unbearable.

However, once Lu Xia Tian obtains enough manpower, the five warships will exert their full combat power, and things will be different. Otherwise, the monsters of the Zhan Yue Alliance wouldn't be so nervous.

Lu Xiaodong's true intention was actually to rescue a portion of the hostages, and he could achieve this by deploying the three captured flying warships. With a significant increase in combat power, his room for maneuver would expand greatly. He wouldn't be so constrained as he is now.

Moreover, various spirit ores were transported by those flying ships, but not very powerful cargo spirit ships with little combat power. They occupied too much space and couldn't be concealed by any large-scale formation.

Lu XiaTian rushed through, encountering no resistance. He even ignored a thousand machine gate's flying falcon warship. Right now, saving the person was his top priority.

In the mines of Zhan Yue Alliance, the top-tier blacksmiths were heavily guarded and resided in incredibly fortified caves. Those captured as slaves, along with some low-ranking artificers, naturally didn't receive such favorable treatment.

When Lu Xia Tian led a fleet of warships to arrive with great speed, there were still quite a few spirit ships carrying large amounts of spirit stones anchored in mid-air. They waited for low-level cultivators and slaves to unload their cargo, forge magic weapons, and create the various spiritual materials needed for artifacts. The demand for these spiritual ores was too great; ordinary storage bags couldn't hold them all. These spirit stones had been collected from mines scattered throughout the land.

"Take down those ships first." Lu Xiao stood at the bow of his ship, his voice cold as he looked at the spectral vessels.

　　Boom boom boom.... The spirit cannons fired streaks of light that swept across the spirit ships. One shot would create a large hole in them. These spirit ships were only used for transporting goods, and their defense and speed were far inferior to warships. Their only advantage was their size. They could carry countless spirit ores, such as Xuan Iron ore and Black Sand Copper, which were incredibly heavy. Often, after one or two shots, the spirit ships would suffer damage, and the loaded spirit ores would directly sink them. The ships would then spin in mid-air and sway precariously before crashing to the ground.
