Chapter 707 - 457: Leech Monster Skin, Green Fish Mirror (Two-in-One for Monthly Pass Votes)
The Spirit Boat, following the golden light, landed before Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
Underneath the shabby island, the magnificently decorated, gigantic Spirit Boat, along with the True Persons dressed in flowing robes, made them appear like the saints who rescued all beings.
Only this time, there were no auspicious clouds nor cheers.
Lin Shiming did not request anyone to do so either. After all, their support had been too late, and the losses of Heavenly Phenomenon Island were so significant; success or failure hinged on the whims of those True Person Cultivators.
Even Red Leaf True Person gave no orders.
This final time, they had transferred over in advance and lay in ambush, without informing any cultivators below the Golden Core stage.
If they had appeared earlier, perhaps there would have been no need for so many deaths in the last battle.
"Everyone, disperse. The beast tide is over!"
"Seven Fifth Rank Demon Kings have perished, and only the Demon Core of the Tianqing Flood Dragon King escaped. The Flood Dragon Clan will lack a king for the next hundred years!"
"Even after a hundred years, the Demonic Race will have no possibility of initiating such a massive beast tide!"
"You are all heroes!" Xue Shan True Person remained as indifferent as always.
At this point, people finally began to get excited.
It wasn't for the rewards, but because the beast tide had finally ended and they had survived the ordeal.
Unlike at the beginning of the beast tide when the Transmission Formation was open to all, and cultivators sought resources,
by the end of the tide, the Transmission Formation was forcibly closed, and they had to fight desperately just to survive.
Xue Shan True Person glanced once more at Kuangfeng True Person and Tianliu True Person:
"Kuangfeng, Tianliu, my friends, you have worked hard!"
The final strike from Tianliu True Person was critical; without that decisive blow, the Flood Dragons would have been more cautious.
They would not have rushed forth, and it would have been more difficult to inflict severe injury upon the Tianqing Flood Dragon King or slay other Demon Kings.
"Red Leaf, Gufeng, both of you did well. I will report to the Alliance and celebrate your achievements!"
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!" Red Leaf True Person and Gufeng True Person both spoke in quick succession to express their gratitude.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For over twenty years, due to the fall of Xu Ri True Person and receiving the news that Xu Ri Island was one of the three major directions of the demonic race's assault, they had been utterly exhausted.
Whether it was allying with Tianliu Island or inviting peers from Nine Dragon Island, or borrowing the Immovable Black Tortoise Formation from Xue Shan True Person,
the great effort they invested was significant, even causing the storerooms of Xu Ri Island, after years of accumulation, to become somewhat empty. Finally, there were results.
The two were all smiles.
"Kudos also to Fengxing, Xue Yun, Bai Yu, and Lan Yu, as well as my friend from White Lake. My heart aches for him. Next, I shall prepare a modest celebration banquet to honor everyone, and I hope that you all can bring the True Persons from your respective islands to join!" Xue Shan True Person said with a slight smile, inviting all the True Persons to the celebration banquet.
Of course, this banquet also symbolized the future direction of the Coral Alliance.
"Lin, you should come too!"
What Lin Shiming hadn't expected was that Xue Shan True Person would extend the invitation to him as well.
But then he understood, the Flaming Sword was for Spirit Cultivation, and everyone could see it.
The identity of a Protector was indeed beyond doubt, so there would be no problem for him to attend!
Even so, without any system prompts, Lin Shiming dared not make any rash decisions.
He looked towards Kuangfeng True Person and Tianliu True Person and, only after receiving nods from the latter two, did he feel completely at ease.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!" Lin Shiming bowed in gratitude.
Xue Shan True Person nodded and led the way toward Lin Family Restaurant.
The other True Persons followed, and seemingly to assuage any doubts Lin Shiming might have, Red Leaf True Person even sent a message to him:
"The hidden Transmission Formation is on the fifth floor of Lin Family Restaurant!"
Lin Shiming was somewhat surprised by this, but it was indeed the best answer he could think of.
The known Transmission Formations numbered ten, and the remaining ones, if they were to be concealed, could only be at Lin Family Restaurant.
Only there, with so many True Persons residing within, would the Demonic Race have no way of detecting them.
This was to say nothing of the fact that the Water Leech Demon King had also been slain by Lin Shiming's Flaming Sword.
Elsewhere, concealing the spatial fluctuations would be extremely difficult.
"The celebration will take place on Xu Ri Island, in one day's time. Remember to listen more and speak less!" Red Leaf True Person reminded once again.
Hearing this, Lin Shiming became somewhat alert. Red Leaf True Person might not blame Lin Shiming, since Xu Ri True Person had gone out on his own,
but for the Coral Alliance Leader, if he exposed the fact that Lin Shiming had slain Xu Ri True Person, then for the sake of face, he would have to kill Lin Shiming.
Even Tianliu True Person wouldn't be able to keep him safe.
Having killed so many Flood Dragons, the corpses and materials were extremely rare, not to mention the several Fifth Rank Demon Cores.
With these thoughts, Lin Shiming's heart grew heavier.
The True Persons as well as the forces from other realms left one after another through the Transmission Formation.
Lin Shiming also took a look at that Transmission Formation, situated in Red Leaf True Person's room. That day, he had thought Red Leaf True Person would seek him out,
but in reality, only Kuangfeng True Person and Xue Yun True Person had been looking for him. At that time, the latter was likely setting up the Transmission Formation at a critical moment.
Lin Shiming had plans to seal off that Transmission Formation.
Thus, he looked towards Lin Zelu and Lin Shiyun. Since Lin Houshou was not present, they would have to take action.
"Shiyun, Zelu, it's hard work, but the Transmission Formation depends on you two. Now that the beast tide has ended, we must let those Loose Cultivators and families leave as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, big brother Seven!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Seven!"
Both nodded and then quickly stepped out.
At this moment, there were no strange thoughts in their minds; compared to the life and death struggles they witnessed, now they merely needed to set up a few Transmission Formations!
What do you think?
