Chapter 636: 403
```
Lin Shiming had seen that island before on the map of the Heavenly Phenomenon Island territory.
Those maps were once compiled by the Purple Jade Sect and were extremely detailed.
They had also subsequently fallen into the hands of the Lin Family.
At this moment, Lin Shiming was worried that the Demon King would launch an attack on Heavenly Phenomenon Island first.
Indeed, the location of that island was not close to Lianyun Island. It would be great if it could be driven towards Lianyun Island.
But it was impossible for Lin Shiming to venture deep into the Outer Sea; at this time, there could be an unknown number of Demon Kings.
Even using the Flaming Sword, success was not guaranteed.
Lin Shiming stood in front of the window in deep thought, at this moment, Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shijie also came in.
With Lin Houyuan in charge outside, everyone was at ease. In the later stages of the family's affairs, the overall direction was mainly controlled by Lin Houyuan, who was also nurturing a new Family Head.
Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming's main focus was on cultivation.
As for Lin Shijie, there was even less need to say, his heart for pursuing the Dao was no less than Lin Shiming's.
"Shiming, how is the situation?" Lin Xianzhi also looked at Lin Shiming.
He, too, felt something was wrong because Lin Shiming had taken a five-colored bead Magical Treasure from the mouth of the Demonic Beast. The bead could enhance the Five-colored Sparrow's flame spiritual power and even burn divine senses.
If it were another cultivator that day, even with defensive Magical Treasures, they might have been burned and died from the injuries.
"The situation is bad. The Demon King has appeared on the outskirts of the Heavenly Phenomenon Island territory!"
"Moreover, it's a Five-colored Sparrow Demon King. Its flying speed is so fast that even a Golden Core Middle Stage True Person might not be able to compare!" Lin Shiming said, worried.
"Shiming, we could inquire about the opinion of Xu Ri Island. Xu Ri True Person would definitely care about this matter! Xu Ri True Person's reputation is not low. At this time, he can also come out of his seclusion!" Lin Xianzhi suggested after a moment of silence.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
There was no such person as Xu Ri True Person anymore; Xu Ri True Person had already fallen long ago.
However, Lin Shiming thought again, at this time, it wasn't he who should be most anxious, but rather, it should be Red Leaf True Person.
Those Demon Kings would definitely choose a breakthrough point and gather a large number of Demonic Beasts to take the lead in the charge.
Red Leaf True Person would surely worry about the Demon Kings gathering on Heavenly Phenomenon Island. It was known that the location of Heavenly Phenomenon Island was not particularly external. Should Heavenly Phenomenon Island fall, at least half of the Twelve Outer Islands of Xu Ri Island would be lost.
And it could also endanger one of the Twelve Inner Islands, Lanling Island.
The most critical point was, Red Leaf True Person did not want Xu Ri Island to become the first Inner Island to be overtaken. She must strike hard in the early stages of the war.
From being the first to implement the Three Great Heroes List, to being the first to reduce Transmission Formation fees, to being the first to clear the field and fortify defenses.
It was evident that Red Leaf True Person did not want any surprises during the beast tide.
"Seventh great-uncle, I understand!" Lin Shiming nodded, his mind forming a plan.
It was naturally the safest to go to Xu Ri Island this time. If this battle turned out effective, Heavenly Phenomenon Island might not be conquered in the future. At that time, Heavenly Phenomenon Island could become a supporter instead.
Just as the Eastern Domain once supported Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect.
Even if they were to lose the war, it would not harm the Lin Family's foundation.
"Seventh great-uncle, big brother, it's likely that we won't be able to keep this Five Flames Bead this time, nor the corpse of the Five-colored Sparrow!"
"Additionally, at least four Purple Mansion Great Demon corpses must be taken away!"
"The remaining Purple Mansion Great Demon corpses must all be hidden!" Lin Shiming looked at Lin Shijie and Lin Xianzhi again.
The Magical Treasures that were initially settled upon with the corpses of the Five-colored Sparrow and the Five Flames Bead that burns divine senses were meant to be one for Lin Shitao and one for Lin Shijie. But given the current circumstances, naturally everything had to be yielded.
Otherwise, they would lack credibility.
The remaining Purple Mansion Great Demon corpses also needed to be selected, with half being taken out.
Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shijie also nodded their heads, neither of them minded.
Lin Shiming then left the room. He first went to the ancestral hall to bow, then met with Lin Shitao. Their brief exchange was filled with deep affection.
However, there was no time for idle chatter, as Lin Shiming was worried that the Five-colored Sparrow Demon King really would do whatever it took to come to the Lin Family's Shuangmu Island for vengeance.
He had also left the Flaming Sword on Shuangmu Island; deploying it there would not require the payment of a five-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine.
Lin Shiming took out a set of Early Stage Purple Mansion Magical Treasures for Lin Shitao, asking him to refine them. Then, Lin Shiming took out the Zifeng Boat and flew towards Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
Previously, for the sake of secrecy and safety, no Transmission Formation had been set up to Heavenly Phenomenon Island, but now it had become a problem.
```
Lin Shiming immediately sent a sound transmission to Lin Houshou.
"The beast tide is imminent, and the transmission formation to Heavenly Phenomenon Island must be opened."
"Only in this way can the Lin Family conveniently integrate its strength. At the same time, both the Sword Pavilion and Illusionary Heart Pavilion must prepare to close. Those two buildings contain great secrets and must not be displayed openly."
"In doing so, the cultivators of the Lin Family on Heavenly Phenomenon Island, as well as those loose cultivators who have married into the family and the subordinate forces, can all provide support to Shuangmu Island at any time."
"As for the rewards, it's also easy to manage. The Lin Family's spiritual snake eggs have not yet been distributed completely. Setting some aside, those subordinate forces will also be very pleased."
"At the same time, the reputation of the Lin Family's spiritual snake clan will grow even greater and more renowned."
"The construction of the Flood Dragon Nest will be even more secure."
Along the way, Lin Shiming thought of many things. Upon arriving at Heavenly Phenomenon Island, he informed Jiuxiao Scatter Man and Lin Houyong to raise the island's defense level to the maximum, especially the transmission formation. This is crucial for reinforcements from Xu Ri Island; we absolutely cannot afford any slip-ups."
After discussing, he also went directly to Xu Ri Island through the transmission formation.
Upon arrival at Xu Ri Island, compared to the last time, the atmosphere was noticeably more tense, and there were significantly fewer cultivators around.
Many of those cultivators had gone to the Outer Sea.
At the transmission portal, Lin Shiming could still see teams after teams, each led by a Purple Mansion cultivator, with squads of Foundation Establishment juniors."
As soon as Lin Shiming was transmitted to Xu Ri Island, those cultivators used a mirror-like magical treasure to scan over his head. After seeing nothing abnormal, they checked Lin Shiming's identity token.
After taking out the island master token of Heavenly Phenomenon Island, the latter apologized and let Lin Shiming leave.
Lin Shiming took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to confirm Red Leaf True Person's location, then headed straight for Red Leaf Palace.
Now that Red Leaf True Person was in charge, naturally, the decision-making center had also become Red Leaf Palace.
Lin Shiming also noticed that on the way there, the number of cultivators heading to Red Leaf Palace was not small.
Several of them, Lin Shiming was familiar with, were cultivators from other outer islands.
This made Lin Shiming's expression quite grim; this could represent that the other outer islands might also be here for assistance.
As far as he knew, there were only two True Persons left on Xu Ri Island, and even if there were some hidden, there couldn't be many, since they still needed to protect Xu Ri Island.
The destination of these reinforcements was somewhat thought-provoking.
And the actions of everyone were extremely unified; all pretended not to know each other and flew to Red Leaf Palace on their own.
The location of Red Leaf Palace was directly opposite to that of Xu Ri Palace, situated north to south.
Even though the size was slightly smaller than Xu Ri Palace, from afar, it appeared more elegant and lacked a bit of grandiosity.
When Lin Shiming came to the side hall to wait, there were already several people there. A Purple Mansion female cultivator was standing there, watching everyone coldly and had also prepared a token for Lin Shiming.
She asked Lin Shiming to quietly wait for Red Leaf True Person to summon him one by one.
Seeing the other Purple Mansion cultivators were also eager and their faces showed an expression that if anyone jumped the queue, there would be trouble, Lin Shiming could only wait quietly.
After waiting for two full hours, it was finally Lin Shiming's turn.
He followed the Purple Mansion female cultivator to the main hall.
The main hall was very spacious, and its decoration and furnishings were in no way inferior to those of Xu Ri Palace.
The eight immortal table for receiving guests and the Taishi chair made of thousand-year-old spiritual nanmu wood were all exuding spiritual energy, enlightening Lin Shiming's vision.
On the table, a pot of spiritual tea was quietly emitting wisps of smoke.
The smoke was filled with the fragrance of crabapple flowers, and upon smelling it, one would seem to see a sea of crabapple flowers, quite marvelous.
"How is the situation with the slaying of great demons on the three major lists of Heavenly Phenomenon Island? How many Purple Mansion cultivators are needed to provide support this time?" Red Leaf True Person, wearing a red robe and a golden hairpin, fixed her beautiful eyes upon him.
"Back to True Person senior, Heavenly Phenomenon Island has slain more than ten Purple Mansion Great Demons!" Lin Shiming respectfully saluted and hastily replied.
"This time, we need the support of a Golden Core senior!"
No sooner had Lin Shiming spoken than Red Leaf True Person was taken aback.
On her way here, those seeking support were asking for Purple Mansion cultivators, but Lin Shiming had directly requested a Golden Core True Person.
"Back to the senior, I encountered the Five-colored Sparrow Demon King in the periphery of Heavenly Phenomenon Island. It has gathered a large number of Purple Mansion Great Demons and is likely to use Heavenly Phenomenon Island as the breakthrough point. This could put pressure on the other outer islands!"
"Audacious!" Red Leaf True Person's eyebrows knitted tightly, and she spoke decisively.
"You are merely a Purple Mansion Middle Stage cultivator. If you encountered a Demon King, how could you possibly have escaped with your life?"
What do you think?
