Mortal: Starting on the Yin Island, his physical body defies the starry sea

Chapter 45 Volunteering

"Nephew Luo? What brings you here?"

Nie Shan possesses the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and is the person in charge of the Golden Ring Island battlefield.

When Luo Qing came to see him, he was accompanied by two early Foundation Establishment cultivators who were at his disposal.

Before Luo Qing could make a suggestion, Nie Shan hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to dismiss those around him.

The restrictions on the hatch were lifted, and Nie Shan spoke again:

"But what did Senior Brother Song tell me?"

What happened?

Why does this person seem like they don't want to have anything to do with me?

If that's the case, why did you actively pursue the matter in the first place?

A series of questions flashed through Luo Qing's mind, prompting him to decide to ask for clarification.

"Uncle-Master Nie, I don't believe I've ever had any dealings with you before, so why...?"

"Stop!" Nie Shan suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him, his brows furrowed and his tone serious.

"You'd better pretend this never happened; it's for your own good."

He paused, then added:

"Also, try to keep a low profile within the sect in the future. This will benefit both of us!"

How could Nie Shan not know what Luo Qing wanted to say? It was nothing more than the bet from the day of the entrance competition.

But that was just his and Senior Brother Wang's precautionary plan, fearing that Wu Chou might remember this nominal disciple in the future and cause trouble for no reason.

If Luo Qing were to find out the truth, she might develop some inappropriate thoughts, which could easily backfire on her.

Therefore, Nie Shan only wished to be vague and give this ambiguous advice.

It's so difficult to keep this a secret...

Luo Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and she instantly sensed the danger in it.

It seems that this matter most likely involves something that could threaten Nie Shan's life!

His mind raced, and he decided to stop there and not delve any further, instead revealing the true purpose of his trip:

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Nie. I will certainly keep it in mind."

Then, he changed the subject, his tone becoming serious:

"But Uncle-Master, if we want a future together, we can't just blindly follow orders."

"What do you mean, nephew? Aren't things going well for us right now?"

Nie Shan, of course, would not easily confide in Luo Qing, so he pretended to be confused at this moment.

"Uncle-Master Nie, there's no need to be nervous." Luo Qing met his gaze calmly, her voice low but clear.

"I merely had some suspicions in my mind and did not want to be dragged into the battle between Core Formation cultivators and lose my life for nothing."

I believe my senior uncle shares the same thoughts as me.

He decided to point out their shared concerns, using this as a starting point for their relationship.

"It seems that your success today is not entirely due to your magical body."

Indeed, this robbery was extremely dangerous, but if you're hoping to get anything out of me, I advise you to give up now.

Nie Shan glanced at Luo Qing with surprise, but still did not give a straight answer.

I understand, it's a restriction on the primordial spirit.

Luo Qing instantly understood Nie Shan's predicament and quickly followed up:

"This junior doesn't want to know anything, I just want to give my senior uncle some advice."

If given the opportunity, even if it means taking on a dangerous mission, one should avoid direct combat.

Even if there is no opportunity, my uncle has to create one himself!

Of course, Uncle-Master Nie will definitely need some elite troops at that time, and I will be the first to serve him.

Upon hearing this, Nie Shan's gaze towards Luo Qing became strange. After a long while, he murmured:

"The way you talk is quite like my senior brother Wang."

"You should go back now." Nie Shan waved his hand, his tone returning to calm. "Don't make this public. I know what to do."

Although he did not give a clear answer, Luo Qing had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Nie Shan's attitude clearly showed that he had listened to his words and made a decision in secret.

Luo Qing bowed and turned to leave the cabin.

Shortly after Luo Qing left, Nie Shan received a communication talisman.

After reviewing the document, he immediately issued several orders.

By this time, the merchant ships had already finished cleaning up, and four skeletal warships guarded the four directions of Golden Ring Island, looking as if they were determined to wipe them out completely.

However, as Nie Shan's orders were carried out, each ship released a mirage pearl, creating a phantom image of a white bone warship.

Meanwhile, each ship also left behind two Qi Refining disciples who would occasionally unleash Corpse Fire Talismans towards the city's protective formation.

In this way, the illusion can be created that the four bone warships are still wearing down the city's protective formation.

In reality, the real warships had already taken the vast majority of the cultivators from Jiyin Island and submerged into the sea, heading in the same direction at high speed!

Inside the cabin, Li Wanxing scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

He glanced at Luo Qing, who was sitting cross-legged opposite him, meditating with her eyes closed. He wanted to ask her something several times, but in the end, he didn't have the courage. He could only mutter to himself:

"That's really weird, how come they suddenly stopped fighting like that?"

......

Half a day later, Nie Shan, who had returned to the Jade Bone Warship, along with Foundation Establishment cultivators such as Liu Yueru, were summoned to a place by the Fox-Faced Demon Pill.

"The spies on White Tail Island, Spirit Rhinoceros Island, and Illusion Moon Island have sent word that, as expected, all three islands have dispatched a large number of reinforcements."

Next, we will take advantage of the time difference and launch a separate attack on these three important resource islands belonging to Kuixing Island.

Our destination is White Tail Island.

It turns out that, in addition to Golden Ring Island, the raiding fleet also attacked two other small islands separately.

Its purpose was to attract reinforcements from the three large islands, including Baekwei Island.

"Junior Nephew Liu, since you volunteered earlier, the attack on White Tail Island will be entrusted to you for command."

As he spoke, Fox-Faced Demon Dan waved his hand, and the command tokens for the two bone warships floated to Liu Yueru's front.

"I, the Peak Master, will assign you two bone warships to command. In addition, I will bestow upon you a Shadow God Talisman of my Peak Master."

"We must delay the Core Formation cultivators from Kui Xing Island who are coming to our aid on Baiwei Island!"

The Shadow God Talisman is a third-tier talisman that can create a pre-imprinted phantom of divine thought, with an aura almost identical to that of a real person.

"Once he comes, he can forget about taking the teleportation array back!"

Liu Yueru took the talisman, her cool face full of confidence.

Large islands like Baiwei Island are connected to Kuixing Island by teleportation arrays, but the teleportation fees are expensive and they are rarely used.

Therefore, in order to delay the reinforcements from Kuixing Island on Baiwei Island, Liu Yueru must lead her men to capture the teleportation hall and destroy the teleportation array.

"Very good. The rest of you, stay with me and lie in ambush around Kui Xing Island, awaiting orders."

Having said that, Fox-Faced Demon Dan was about to dismiss the crowd.

But at that moment, Nie Shan suddenly stepped forward, bowed deeply to the fox-faced demon, and said in a clear voice:

"My lord, I have a favor to offer!"

The fox-faced demon raised an eyebrow at him: "Speak."

"Peak Master, the protective formation of Kui Xing Island was built by the Star Palace and should not be underestimated. I would like to volunteer to go ahead and lead a small team of Qi Refining disciples to disrupt its formation."

This would both attract another wave of guards from Kui Xing Island and weaken the power of the grand formation to some extent.
