Chapter 118 Secret Collusion
Qin Ming pondered slightly.
His Moon Gazing Island was located in the Far North Lands, and he usually didn't go out.
Any news was delivered by Wu Jiang.
But now, such a major event had occurred.
He didn't know if it would affect his Moon Gazing Island.
Qin Ming decided to go personally to understand the current situation.
"Then let's go!"
Having said that, Qin Ming and Wu Jiang drove their Flying Magic Tool and flew towards the direction of the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance.
Several hours later.
Qin Ming and Wu Jiang arrived at Phoenix Perching Island, where the Scattered Alliance was located.
This Spirit Island was located in the central area of the entire Spirit Dwelling Islands. The Island area was five or six times larger than Moon Gazing Island.
Moreover, there was a Second-Order High-Grade Spirit Vein on the island.
When Qin Ming and Wu Jiang flew to the nearby airspace, there were already many Cultivators hurriedly driving various Magical Artifacts, constantly passing by them.
Dharma Boats from various Spirit Island Family Clans were docked near the Island.
It seemed that the Island extermination incident had caused quite a stir within the Spirit Dwelling Islands Cultivation World.
Basically, all the Spirit Island Family Clans, large and small, that could come had come.
Qin Ming and Wu Jiang landed near the outskirts of Phoenix Perching Island and waited in line to be checked for invitation letters before entering.
Just then.
A few young Cultivators walked over from the side, wearing the Yu Family of Azure Island's attire.
One of the thin young Cultivators, at Qi Condensation Stage Ninth Level, mockingly ridiculed Qin Ming and Wu Jiang, "Yo! Isn't this Spirit Plant Master Wu?!"
"I heard that you returned from the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness with your tail between your legs, and then hid in some remote corner, learning how to farm."
"Hahaha!"
Wu Jiang's face suddenly turned ugly when he saw these people opposite him, "Yu Tao, don't push your luck!"
"What? Can't even exchange a few words?"
"If you really can't figure out farming, you might as well come to my house to learn how to catch Spirit Fish!"
The Cultivator named Yu Tao glanced casually at Qin Ming in front of Wu Jiang, pointed at him and asked, "This is the one teaching you how to farm? Doesn't look like much, does he?"
"Sigh~ No future!"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head and swaggered in with his subordinates.
Wu Jiang watched the backs of the few people, his teeth grinding.
Qin Ming didn't really care about these petty clowns, and asked calmly, "Does this Yu Family of Verdant Island have some connection to you?"
"Yes, our Family Clan's Spirit Island is not far from Verdant Island, and there are often some minor frictions, but we have always been at peace." Wu Jiang nodded and said truthfully.
"But some time ago, Yu Wanhe, the Family Clan Leader of the Yu Family, who had been stuck at Perfected Qi Condensation Stage for more than ten years, somehow obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill and actually achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"From then on, the Yu Family's arrogance immediately became rampant, targeting the surrounding Spirit Islands everywhere."
Qin Ming nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Half an incense stick of time later.
Qin Ming and Wu Jiang entered the Venue arranged by the Scattered Alliance.
Inside a spacious Great Hall.
At this time, it was already crowded with people.
Only Spirit Island Island Lords who had received invitation letters were qualified to sit on the Chairs in the Hall Interior.
Other Rogue Cultivators were standing behind to listen, without the Qualification to participate in the discussion.
Before long.
More than a hundred principals of large and small Spirit Islands in the Spirit Dwelling Islands arrived.
They were all Qi Condensation Family Clans.
The highest Cultivation was only Perfected Qi Condensation Stage.
These Cultivators, perhaps deeply stimulated by the Island extermination incident, were constantly discussing in the Great Hall, everyone feeling insecure.
"Alas, the old Lin Family of Kongtong Island is really miserable, I heard that on the night of the incident, they were holding a birthday banquet for the old man."
"Even Family Clan members who were working outside came back, and none survived."
"I heard from Cultivators who witnessed it from a distance that this Island extermination tragedy was committed by a group of extremely vicious Bandit Cultivators."
"I heard that there were even Foundation Establishment Stage Bandit Cultivators among them."
"Ah? Then wouldn't that mean they haven't left yet?!"
"Alas! That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Qin Ming also understood the general situation of this incident.
Before long.
Several Cultivators walked in from Outside the Field, vaguely led by an old man in his fifties. Yu Tao, who had mocked Wu Jiang earlier, also respectfully followed behind him.
And also Yu Pinghai, who Qin Ming had repelled and escaped near Dragon Scale Island last time.
"That person is Island Lord Yu Wanhe of Verdant Island." Wu Jiang slightly lowered his body and secretly transmitted his voice to Qin Ming.
At this time, Yu Pinghai also saw Qin Ming's figure in the crowd, and their eyes met.
His eyes were sinister, and he quickly walked forward and whispered a few words to Yu Wanhe.
Yu Wanhe's gaze then paused on Qin Ming for a moment, and then found a seat in the front row, in the very center, and sat down.
After everyone was almost there.
Three Foundation Establishment Cultivators walked in from the Passage on the left and sat on the seats at the head of the Great Hall.
They were the three Alliance Lords of the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance.
Deputy Alliance Lord Li Yuanqing was also among them.
The one on the right was a wizened old woman, with Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation.
In the central main seat was a square-faced middle-aged Cultivator, exuding Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Spiritual Power Fluctuation.
This person was Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu, the Right Alliance Lord of the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance.
As soon as the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators appeared, a huge Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure swept over, and the people below immediately stopped discussing and dared not to say more.
Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu's gaze was sharp as he slowly scanned the Cultivators in the Great Hall, and then spoke in a deep voice, "I believe everyone is clear about what happened last night."
"What I can tell you is that the destruction of the Lin Family of Kongtong Island and the Tian Family of Yu Water Island."
"Is not as simple as you imagine."
"Now our Scattered Alliance wants to unite all the Spirit Islands present, to unite and help each other, to jointly thoroughly investigate this case and resist foreign enemies."
At this time, a Cultivator in the front row raised his hand to signal, and after obtaining Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu's permission, he asked, "Senior Huo, if that's the case, can you reveal the details of this incident to us?"
"Although we do not yet have sufficient evidence in hand, according to the Information currently available, the Bandit Cultivator Island extermination incident is inextricably linked to the Zhao Family among the Seven Great Sects/Clans." Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu said with a serious expression.
As soon as his voice fell.
There was a Commotion in the Great Hall! "What?! The Bandit Cultivators were instructed by the Zhao Family!"
These Qi Condensation Family Clans and Rogue Cultivators never expected that behind this group of extremely vicious Bandit Cultivators, there would actually be the shadow of the Zhao Family.
"Alliance Lord Huo, please allow this old man to say a word, you saying this is probably a bit alarmist, isn't it?"
"After all, right now, it's just your Scattered Alliance's speculation, and there is no substantive evidence."
At this moment, Yu Wanhe's voice slowly sounded from the center of the front row.
"Perhaps, the targets of those Bandit Cultivators were just those two Islands, and they might have already left."
Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu frowned upon hearing this, his eyes staring at Yu Wanhe, not expecting him to stand up and sing a different tune.
The Cultivators in the Great Hall also felt that Yu Wanhe's words made some sense when they heard them.
"Hehe, if Island Lord Yu doesn't want to participate in the Alliance's affairs, you can leave on your own, our Scattered Alliance never forces anyone." Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu said coldly.
Yu Wanhe laughed drily upon hearing this, "Alliance Lord Huo is joking, this old man was just asking casually, since everyone wants to be Consistent with the outside world, then my Verdant Island will also be counted as one."
Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu's expression eased a lot when he heard the other party's words.
"Those who are willing to join our Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance can sign the Spirit Contract."
"Those who are unwilling to join… let me say the ugly words first, when the Bandit Cultivators come to your door, don't blame no one for helping you." The old woman next to him said slowly.
Subsequently, people from the Scattered Alliance carried trays, each containing a Spirit Contract.
When it was Qin Ming's turn, he looked up and found that the person holding the tray in front of him was the burly middle-aged man who had followed Li Yuanqing last time to Moon Gazing Island to recruit him.
At this moment.
Most of the Spirit Island Family Clans were forced by the threat of Bandit Cultivators, and seeing that everyone around them had compromised, they all signed the Spirit Contract and joined the Alliance.
Almost no Qi Condensation Family Clan who came today left.
Qin Ming picked up the Spirit Contract on the tray and casually glanced at it.
The regulations and clauses inside were complicated and tedious, and they also had to obey the Scattered Alliance's dispatch and assignments at any time.
He immediately lost interest.
'Zhao Family instructed them?'
'How does it look like the Scattered Alliance instructed them is also possible?'
Qin Ming then stood up and said directly, "My Moon Gazing Island has no intention of joining the Scattered Alliance, so I will take my leave first."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the Cultivators in the Great Hall converged on him.
