Chapter 373 Tan Chao's Worries

Wu Yan smiled slightly and nodded without comment. Liu Baoxin's words and performance further confirmed his guess. There are indeed many contradictions between the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance.

"You three think too highly of me. Haha, in terms of cultivation, you three are all in the middle stage of Jindan, and I, Wu Yan, am only in the early stage. In terms of magical powers, you three are genius cultivators in the sea area of ​​Shenmu Island, while I have just succeeded in condensing Dan. Wu's purpose of participating in the Hunting Sea War this time is very simple. I just want to obtain the Hunting Sea Order of the mid-level island owner and own an independent island of my own. As for the affairs between the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance, how can I, a small casual cultivator, have a say? If there is nothing else, please excuse me."

The three of them were looking at Wu Yan expectantly, but they did not expect Wu Yan to say such words. Yun Chuang immediately became anxious, and Ni Changhe also blushed at this time, and hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Wu, my brother said that you have a Nascent Soul cultivator..." As soon as the words came out, Ni Changhe seemed to suddenly remember something, his face turned redder, but he held back the following words.

Wu Yan looked displeased, and immediately stood up and shouted at Ni Changhe: "Brother Ni, what did you say?"

"I made a mistake, please forgive me, Brother Wu!" Ni Changhe hurriedly stood up and apologized to Wu Yan.

"Hmph, if Wu had a Yuanying-stage cultivator backing him up, how could he have participated in this island seizing conference? Wu already knows what you all mean, but there's a saying that goes, people with different ideologies cannot work together, please come in!" Wu Yan flicked his sleeves and turned around, saying to Xing Xiao, "See you out!"

Xing Xiao hurriedly trotted over to the three of them, bowed with a smile on his face, and said, "Seniors, please come in!"

"This, this? Brother Ni, why are you talking nonsense? Alas..." Liu Baoxin pointed at Ni Changhe with a gloomy face, not knowing what to say.

Yun Chuang showed a thoughtful expression, and suddenly bowed to Wu Yan and said, "I already know what Brother Wu is thinking. Haha, Brother Liu, Brother Ni, let's go."

"Brother Yun, why are you..." Ni Changhe slapped his thigh hard, as if he regretted what he had just said.

Yun Chuang immediately pulled the two of them towards the door without saying anything. Xing Xiao respectfully opened the door for the three of them, watched them leave, and then said to Wu Yan: "Master, they are gone."

"Yes, I know. You can go back too. Warn others that during this period, no matter which team comes to get close to them, they should be ignored." Wu Yan ordered him in a deep voice.

"Master, don't worry, I know what to do. I'll take my leave!" Xing Xiao left the cabin, closed the door and left.

Wu Yan paced in the room and pondered. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "This Yun Chuang, how can he be as reckless as the rumors outside? He is clearly a careful and meticulous person. It seems that he understands my intention of not wanting to get involved in the fight between the two parties. Judging from the situation, I think the people of Tiandao Sect will come to the door soon, which is really troublesome."

...

After Xing Xiao went out, he immediately summoned all the escorts of the Baoxiao team to his room. After everyone arrived, Xing Xiao closed the door and checked the forbidden formation, then he solemnly told everyone what Wu Yan had said.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately raised a question: "Xingtou, why doesn't the master allow us to contact people from other teams? You know, in this sea hunting war, if the islands cannot unite and cooperate, they will not be able to resist the invasion of sea beasts and sea tribes?"

"Yes, I participated in the last sea hunting war and have a deep understanding of this. I remember that there was a team led by a senior in the Jindan stage. He wanted to fight alone to accumulate more sea hunting merit points. Unexpectedly, because that senior did not cooperate with other islands, a large number of sea beasts rushed to the island where he was stationed. The teams of other islands all watched and no one helped. As a result, that senior and his team all died in the mouths of sea beasts. Xingtou, although our master has great magical powers and can easily subdue even a senior in the Jindan stage, this sea hunting war cannot be won by relying on personal magical powers alone!" Among the five recruited bodyguards, a middle-aged cultivator named Tan Chao said to Xing Xiao with lingering fear.

Xing Xiao actually had this idea in his heart. Although he had not participated in the Sea Hunting War, he had lived for fifty or sixty years and had heard many rumors in the four seas. He was well-versed in the ways of the world, so how could he not understand the dirty tricks? However, since this matter was ordered by Wu Yan, no matter what the reason was, he had to follow it.

"How do you know the master's painstaking efforts? Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the relationship between the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance has begun to have problems. The master participated in the island seizure conference this time, and he only wanted to obtain a Sea Hunting Order and go out independently, and did not want to be controlled by any force. Therefore, the master warned us not to have anything to do with any team." Xing Xiao pondered for a while, and explained to several people with a worried look on his face.

"I see. But, the master's thinking is a bit too much, right? Let me ask, in the current Xumi Sea cultivation world, how can there be an island owner who can be self-sufficient?" Tan Chao had some knowledge and couldn't help but sighed.

"Anyway, this is the master's intention. Let's all follow it. I'm sure the master has his own plans in mind. Who knows, the master may have other magical powers that have not been shown yet. Hehe, to be honest, I, Old Xing, have full confidence in the master!" Xing Xiao said, but smiled proudly.

The other guards of the announcing team who had been following Wu Yan also smiled and nodded in agreement. In the minds of these people, Wu Yan is undoubtedly no longer an ordinary monk, but an omnipotent being.

Seeing Xing Xiao like this, Tan Chao couldn't say anything more and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Huh! What an arrogant person!" Everyone was chatting in Xing Xiao's room when they suddenly heard a cold snort coming from outside the door. The person who spoke sounded extremely young, but his voice could pass through the forbidden door. The formation entered the room, and his cultivation level was obviously extremely high.

Xing Xiao and others' expressions changed greatly. They rushed to the door, quickly opened it, and shouted: "Who dares to shamelessly eavesdrop on our conversation?"

The corridor is empty. Where is anyone? Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but focus on Xing Xiao, as if waiting for him to make up his mind.

Xing Xiao pondered for a moment, glanced at Tan Chao, and said, "Tan Chao, come with me to see the Lord. The Lord must know about this matter."

Tan Chao nodded and said, "Okay, Xingtou, don't worry."

"You all go back to your own rooms. Remember what I just warned you." Xing Xiao said to everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement and then dispersed.

Xing Xiao led Tan Chao to the door of Wu Yan's cabin and sent a transmission note to enter. After a while, the door opened, and there was a hint of displeasure in Wu Yan's voice, "Come in, everyone!"

Xing Xiao led Tan Chao into Wu Yan's cabin, closed the door, and bowed to Wu Yan. Tan Chao looked a little reserved, and then also greeted Wu Yan respectfully.

"What's going on?" Wu Yan frowned and looked at Xing Xiao.

He was about to meditate quietly to understand the changes in the furnace of heaven and earth, but he didn't expect that Xing Xiao would come back again, interrupting his newly adjusted state of entering the underworld.

Xing Xiao also saw the displeasure on Wu Yan's face, and immediately and respectfully told Wu Yan what had just happened. By the way, Xing Xiao also told Wu Yan what everyone was worried about just now. .

After listening to what Xing Xiao said, Wu Yan's face sank as if he was deep in thought. After a moment, Wu Yan looked at Tan Chao and asked, "Are you Tan Chao? Have you participated in the Sea Hunting War before?"

"Reporting to my lord, I have indeed participated in the Hunting Sea War before. However, I participated in the Hunting Sea War in the free sea area and did not have the opportunity to participate in the battle on the outer sea. I heard that my lord is preparing to fight in the outer sea this time. I feel very worried." This was the first time that Tan Chao faced Wu Yan alone, so he was a little nervous, but he spoke in a very organized manner, and he was not afraid of Wu Yan's gaze and told his concerns face to face. It's quite rare to get out.

"Oh? Tell me, what's the difference?" Wu Yan's frown slowly relaxed, and he looked at Tan Chao with interest and asked.

Tan Chao coughed lightly, collected his thoughts, and then said seriously: "My lord, fighting in the free sea area is much less risky than the open sea. After all, there is a maritime defense line in front of the free sea area that is jointly controlled by the four major sects. , the vast majority of sea beasts and sea tribes are blocked from the sea boundary. Only a few who are more cunning or have a higher level can sneak into the sea boundary, but even so, fighting against sea beasts has always been very dangerous. There are very few people who act alone. Once an island is attacked by a large group of sea beasts, it will be difficult to resist it. If you don't have reliable allies, it will be difficult to resist it in the inner sea, let alone the outer sea facing the beast tide. . It is a hundred times more dangerous than the inner sea. Therefore, my subordinates feel that the Lord should contact some reliable allies before the battle in the Hunting Sea, so as to make it easier to summon allies to fight against the beast tide."

After saying this, Tan Chao glanced at Wu Yan with a worried expression, but saw that Wu Yan was silent at this time, with a look of contemplation in his eyes. Inside the cabin, there was silence for a moment.

Over a cup of tea, Wu Yan suddenly smiled and said: "Tan Chao, you are right. It seems that I am a little arbitrary. Let's do this. You will be Xing Xiao's deputy and jointly consult on this matter. However, contact reliable allies. You don’t have to worry about it. Before the battle of Hunting Sea, you must train all the team members to be good at joint operations. "

Xing Xiao and Tan Chao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with joy in their eyes, and bowed and said, "Yes. Don't worry, Lord, the two of you will do their best to train the team well!"

"Go ahead. As for being overheard, don't mention it to anyone. Just pretend it never happened. I will handle the matter myself." Wu Yan continued.

"Yes! I'm resigning!" The two bowed and exited the cabin.

Wu Yan glanced at something indifferently, smiled coldly, and said to himself: "The genius disciples of Tiandao Sect are nothing more than that. A bunch of rats!"
