Chapter 988: Ruins in the Sea (Part 2)
Ni Qian, who had exited the cabin, quickly returned to the warship where he was, summoned his subordinates, blocked the outside world's spy with the barrier, and then told others his plans. Although the elder of the Blood God Sect disguised as an elder, facing this life and death problem, let alone the elder of the real power, even the leader of the Blood God Sect, these disciples of the Blood God Sect will not be ruthless. Naturally, everyone agreed to kill Xu Changqing with the hand of the tiger-headed crab clan, and they used this to escape from the shackles and return to the mountain gate. As for the punishment they would be punished when returning to the mountain gate, the senior executives of the Blood God Sect ordered to find out what Xu Changqing was looking for at the mountain gate of the Old Blood God Sect, so they would not consider the task for the time being.
After the negotiations came to an end, these people successively called out fellow disciples on other warships who were regarded as abandoned children one by one, and hinted them to decide whether to participate in this matter.
Logically speaking, these abandoned sons have no qualifications to make decisions at all, and can only do things according to Ni Qian's decision. However, during this period of time, Ni Qian saw that these fellow disciples who were regarded as abandoned sons were far less useless than the rumors. I thought that he would definitely hold power in the Blood God Sect in the future and need to recruit a large number of subordinates. Instead of recruiting some half-hearted people at that time, it would be better to attract these unsatisfactory fellow disciples now to cultivate their unsatisfactory but also possess a superb skilled one. It is also impossible to cultivate some loyal and capable subordinates from it.
The abandoned sons who had already recognized their situation were also surprised that they would be summoned by Ni Qian. It was not difficult for them to see Ni Qian's intention to recruit Ni Qian from the conversation, but they could not help but hesitate to a Blood God Sect elder. In their opinion, Ni Qian's potential and backing behind him were far greater than the nominal fleet leader. He was definitely a good partner to rely on allegiance. But no matter how hard the elder was, his status and strength were far from something they could resist. They were very satisfied with all kinds of dirty things in the Blood God Sect. They were not worried about whether Ni Qian said that the promises Ni Qian said when recruiting them, because no matter whether the promises were fulfilled or not, they would not be able to pursue them. What they really worried about is whether Ni Qian would use them as a scapegoat after the failure of the Blood God Sect Elder.
Ni Qian naturally saw these abandoned sons. In his opinion, Xu Changqing was undoubtedly dead. Even without these abandoned sons, the ending would not change. Instead of letting these recruits have doubts, it would be better to be generous and act the full set of plays of respecting the wise and humble. Therefore, for those abandoned sons who were suspicious and hesitant to participate in this matter, he would change them to put them out of the matter, remain neutral, and not continue to force them into the plan. However, he also took this opportunity to screen out these abandoned sons and divide them into two categories: worth cultivating and to be seen.
The fleet that left the control of the Blood God Sect continued to sail towards the outer sea for about an hour, and then came to an extremely calm sea. The reason why this sea area was extremely calm was because there were no waves on the water surface of this sea area, and the entire water surface was as flat as a dark blue mirror. There was no wind in the air, and even the clouds were fixed in the air by an invisible force. The entire sea area seemed to be fixed, making everyone entering here feel an inexplicable tension.
The place where the Old Blood God Sect is located, as well as the surrounding islands, has sank into the bottom of the sea, and there is no clear sign for thousands of miles of the sea, even if the Blood God Sect wants to find the place where the Old Mountain Gate is, it has no clue. In addition, after the Blood God Sect sent people to find the place where the Old Mountain Gate goes out to sea, few people can come back alive. The efforts and benefits are completely unequal, which makes the Blood God Sect gradually lose interest in the Old Mountain Gate. However, the various information about the place where the Old Mountain Gate was collected was not destroyed, but was collected in the library.
Xu Changqing naturally also read these materials. Although there were not many contents, there were many speculations on the information that the old mountain gate was suspected to be located, with as many as 27. The farthest part of them pointed to the depths of the Star Han Sea, the sea directly belonging to the Dragon Palace in the West of the Hanhai Dragon Clan. Xu Changqing didn't have so much time to confirm the authenticity of the location one by one. He just collected all the relevant information about the second mountain gate migration that year and the evil Taoist sect that the Blood God Sect resurrected through the corpse. Then he compared it one by one, and finally confirmed that the current dead silent mirror sea is likely to be the location of the old mountain gate of the Blood God Sect.
After entering this sea area, although others knew that there was a special force here, they could not feel it. Only Xu Changqing could feel the thick formation power shrouded in this sea area. He could even see through the bottom of the ship through the Great Light Divine Eye and see the invisible formation formed by the deep ocean.
Just like watching a mountain run to death, although the aura is clearly visible, as if you can grab it with your hand, it is actually very far away from the fleet. At the current speed of the fleet, it may take four or five days to move above the aura. Because there is no wind or waves in this sea area to leverage, it can only be used to form a formation force on the magic array on the warship to push the ship forward. In addition, the warship needs to maintain combat power and deal with possible attacks, so the magic array used as propulsion cannot operate with all its strength, and the navigation speed is much slower than before entering this sea area.
Xu Changqing did not intend to let the fleet sail directly above the spiritual light of power. He just drove into the boundary of hundreds of miles of this sea area, so he stopped Ni Qian. The reason he chose this position to stop was because he found that when the fleet entered this sea area, the tiger-headed crab clan following behind only wandered outside the sea area and was unwilling to enter this sea area. At the same time, he also saw a large number of octopus-shaped aquatic monsters lurking on the bottom of the sea area. These octopuses were huge in shape, and the largest one could even be comparable to the size of a dragon whale. Moreover, the divine consciousness of these octopuses seemed to be integrated by some connection, transforming from quantity to mass, producing a powerful divine power that was almost the peak and strong immortal. Even the divine consciousness of the dragon beast clone could not penetrate into it to peek into the situation of these octopuses.
This is just a school of octopus. According to the area of this sea area, there are at least ten such octopus groups. If the situation in each place is the same as what Xu Changqing sees now, this sea area will become the Dead Mirror Sea and is considered one of the most dangerous sea areas around, which is not incredible. At least in Xu Changqing's view, it may be extremely difficult for even the Dragon King-level strong men in the Hanhai Dragon Clan to pass through this sea area safely.
When the fleet entered this sea area, the octopus at the bottom of the sea had already noticed the fleet, but these octopus did not seem to regard the fleet as prey and caught it. The tiger-headed crab tribe at the edge of the sea area did not find the octopus. It just felt that it might be dangerous for them to enter this sea area, forcing them to wander around the edge and wait for the opportunity to take action.
After Xu Changqing came out of the cabin, he did not say hello to other people on the warship. He just ordered Ni Qian to wait here and jumped into the water and escaped to the depths of the sea. The moment he jumped into the water, he also restrained the aura of the Hanhai Dragon Clan that could be imitated on his body. His actions did not cause any reaction from the tiger-headed crab clans who were parked at the edge of the sea. Instead, the octopus that had been silent in the deep sea was alarmed. Several huge octopus began to leave the group and swam slowly towards the fleet.
The movements of the octopus group naturally did not escape Xu Changqing's divine eyes, but Xu Changqing did not intend to remind the evil boys on the warship to directly restrain their breath, use the escape technique in the water spirit battle, and swim quickly towards the little bit of inspiration deep under the sea.
The seabed of the entire sea area presents a basin terrain. With the array of spiritual light as the center, the seabed of the entire sea area extends downward at an extremely steep angle, and it slows down until it extends for more than a thousand miles. Instead, it continues to sink in the direction of spiritual light at a relatively gentle angle. If someone can see the sea area in the air, he will find that the seabed of the entire sea area collapses very abnormally, as if there is a huge force from the underground to pull the entire ground down. This is in line with the saying that the dragon clan used the power of the earth veins to drag the entire Blood God Sect to the bottom of the sea.
As Xu Changqing gradually penetrated to the bottom of the sea, the grand scene of the old mountain gate of the Blood God Sect, or the evil Taoist sect, which was occupied by the magpie nest of the Blood God Sect, began to appear little by little. Because the sea water in the entire sea area was stationary and did not flow, there was not much dust covering the seabed, and the old mountain gate of the Blood God Sect was still preserved intact. A large number of uncollapsed buildings still stood stubbornly on the bottom of the sea, forming underwater buildings. Many guardian arrays were distributed around the complex, or were still intact. From these arrays, the tendency of the methods practiced by the Blood God Sect back then was seen.
The ruins that Xu Changqing first saw were not the old mountain gate of the Blood God Sect, but were probably a cave on the periphery, because the Hanhai Aquarium mainly dealt with the mountain gate of the Blood God Sect, and the small fish and shrimp on the periphery were temporarily ignored. Judging from the traces of the destruction of all the buildings, it is not difficult to find that most of the damage was caused by land sinking, and the damage was very little caused by external force. It is precisely for this reason that the magic array here can still be preserved well, and even is still operating due to the influence of the mountain gate array.
Although Xu Changqing's main purpose here was to visit the old mountain gate of the Blood God Sect, he did not think of ignoring the place. After all, the fragment of the book recording the Ding Shen Pearl records that the status of the person holding the Ding Shen Pearl is not very high inside the Blood God Sect, so his cave may also be outside the mountain gate formation.
