Ye's Xiancun has developed rapidly in the past few months, and various pavilions have been built like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the streets of Xiancun have become more prosperous. Even on the sea outside Ling Island, every small fishing boat shuttles back and forth.

Recently, the Ye Immortal Village has issued a large number of tasks, hiring scattered cultivators to mine various resources, spiritual wood, ores, etc., on the fifteen islands, and transport them back to the Immortal Village for hoarding.

Every morning and evening, there are a large number of casual cultivators who enter and leave the main island of Xiancun.

It's early in the morning.

A small inconspicuous fishing boat left the port of Yecun and headed for an island hundreds of miles away.

More than two dozen casual cultivators sat in the cramped cabin, either closing their eyes or talking in whispers with acquaintances, and the atmosphere seemed relatively relaxed.

"If I cut down the spirit wood for a few more days, I will be able to receive the next spirit stone, plus the one I saved before, it is enough to buy a small bottle of first-order vitality pill, and I can retreat and impact the bottleneck of the second layer of qi refining. ”

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy said excitedly to his companion next to him, his face showing a happy sè

He is not very old, and his current cultivation has reached the peak of the first level of Qi training, and if he succeeds in rushing through the level this time, he will be a second-level Qi cultivation monk.

At the age of less than twenty years old, reaching the cultivation level of the second level of qi refining is already quite good in casual cultivation

"If I had a qualification like yours, I would have signed up a long time ago and applied to become an immortal in Ye Village. When the immortals are good, they have a stable income. Unlike our casual cultivators, all the work is temporary, and once there is no task, there is no income at all. If you encounter the battle of Xiancun, it will be even more troublesome, like last time......"

His companion, a thin young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, couldn't help but say with envy when he heard this. At this, the young monk looked annoyed.

The two of them were originally scattered cultivators who settled in an immortal village more than a thousand miles away, and found a stable logging job. I don't want the Yue's Immortal Village to expand wildly, and beat the Immortal Village where the two of them are located to only one main island.

Naxian Village had no resources and could only close down, and the two of them lost their income, and they couldn't even get the spirit stones of the guest house

I heard that the Ye Clan's Immortal Village was stable, so he had come all the way here and had been staying for a few months.

During this time, Ye's Immortal Village has a lot of tasks, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will definitely be able to earn spirit stones.

In just a few months, the two of them had earned dozens of spirit stones, equivalent to their previous year's income.

When the young man heard this, he also looked depressed, "Don't mention it, I feel depressed when I think about it." Originally, I would have been able to receive an extra spirit stone in a few days, and I didn't want to break out in the Immortal Village War, so the previous twenty days were in vain. Compared with the Ye City Lord, the previous owner was simply too black-hearted. ”

The thin young man nodded and agreed: "Indeed, if you can't get the spirit stone in less than a month, you can't do it for a day, this rule is too annoying." At that time, someone worked for twenty-nine days and got nothing. That Taoist friend looked for the owner to theorize, but was beaten by Xianwei and thrown out of the village, which was really miserable. ”

Both of them couldn't help but sigh.

The hardships of these casual cultivators, only the monks who have experienced them know the bitterness of the Dao.

The thin young man was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from someone in the cabin.

"Look, a big ship has appeared, flying the banner of the Yue Clan"

"It's a warship"

All the scattered cultivators were taken aback, whether they were talking quietly or closing their eyes to recuperate, they all crowded to the window to look out, their expressions were a little flustered.

"Sure enough, it's the Yue's Immortal Village. ”

After an old monk saw it, he slapped his forehead, and his expression became ugly, "Oops, the Yue's sea ship swaggered into Ye Village's territory, is it going to war? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the loose repairs in the cabin of this fishing boat, and the faces became ugly.

Ye's Immortal Village is almost the entire Aolai Sea area, the only sea area that has not been fought.

Could it be that now, the Yue Clan Alliance has finally set its sights on Ye Village?

"Ship master, are you still going to that logging sub-island? Maybe the Yue clan has already fought with the Hamura monk on the island. ”

A middle-aged monk in his thirties immediately asked the man on the bow of the boat.

The owner of this fishing boat was just a warrior who was employed by the Ye Clan's Immortal Village.

At this time, he was also looking at the Yue's sea ship sailing towards the port, shook his head and said, "Immortal Chief, don't worry, if the Yue's clan really wants to go to war, it won't just send a big ship over." Let's go to the island first, and everything will be decided by the Xianwei Lord stationed there, so there shouldn't be any danger. ”

The middle-aged monk frowned when he heard this, his face changed a few times, and he didn't snatch control of the boat, so he had to urge: "Then hurry up, go over and see the situation, don't delay." ”

Naturally, the owner of the boat did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly shouted and rowed with all his might.

The scattered cultivators in the cabin all showed worries, and the only thing to be thankful for was that their destination was the nearest Lingmu Island nearby, and it only took more than an hour to go back and forth.

If it really wants to fight, it won't spread so quickly.

This Yue's big sea ship gradually approached the main island of Ye Village.

At the bow of the ship stood a young monk wearing a blue robe, who was the messenger who had been sent to Ye Village this time.

He saw a busy scene in the port of Ye's Ling Island, with many large and small ships unloading, and couldn't help but show a little sneer.

"This Ye City Lord is good at management, and he runs an immortal village with no background like this. It's a pity, no matter how well it is managed, what is the use of not joining my Yue's Alliance? A strong village, can it be compared to my Yue's seventeen strong villages?"

The blue-robed young monk sneered and muttered to himself.

The speed of the Yueshi sea ship was not fast, and it slowly arrived at the outskirts of the port.

The Xianwei squad in charge of the jǐng ring at the port immediately reacted, and the three light sea ships moored in the port had already turned their bows, and the three bronze cannons of the black hole hole were aimed at the Yueshi sea ship.

"I am a special envoy of the Moon City Lord of the Moon Clan Alliance, and I am here to meet the Ye City Lord, and I will report it quickly.

The blue-robed young monk raised his voice.

With that, he stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, a little swaggering. He came to envoy Ye Village on behalf of the Yue Clan Alliance, and he came with an ultimatum after delivering the most deaf, and no one in Ye Village could be respectful when he saw him

The sea ship of Yue's immortal village is parked outside the port. It happened to block more than half of the passage to and from the ships. Other seagoing vessels are not allowed to enter or exit.

He was on the sea outside this port, waiting for Ye Mo, the city lord, to come out to meet him.

The captain of the immortal guard stationed at the port was furious when he saw this, and shouted: "What does it mean that the incoming ship is blocking the port passage? Either exit the port, or enter the port, and then stop there, don't blame me Ye Cun for being polite and sinking your ship." ”

As he spoke, he raised his right arm aloft.

The warriors on the three Ye clan's light-armored sea ships suddenly took action, and one by one the Xuantie pills were loaded into the copper cannon chambers filled with gunpowder, and raised their torches to make a gesture of attacking at any time.

The blue-robed young envoy's face suddenly changed slightly, and he shouted angrily, "I, the envoy of the Yue Clan Alliance, have come to meet with your city lord on behalf of the alliance leader. Why don't you go and inform City Lord Ye and let him come out to see me?"

"Bah, a little envoy dares to make a show in our Ye Village, what qualifications do you have to let my city lord personally greet you, even if the Moon Alliance Lord comes in person, you have to get off the boat and go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet my city lord

Either you get off the boat yourself and enter the village to wait for the summons of my city lord; Either get the hell out of here, don't get stuck here. I told you that if you don't make a decision within ten breaths, I'll let you go to the sea to feed the fish."

The captain of the Immortal Guard was furious and stared fiercely at the messenger.

The information that a Yue's sea ship entered the territory of Ye Village had already been sent to the City Lord's Mansion by the Spirit Eagle. The chief steward Chang Fei had already greeted the captain of the immortal guard in advance and brought the envoy to the City Lord's Mansion.

And Ye Mo has been in retreat these days and is cultivating with all his might.

Obviously, it was impossible for Ye Mo to come to the port to pick up this little messenger.

The blue-robed young envoy trembled with anger, and a Yue Clan monk beside him couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Big brother, they are serious, even the torches are lit, if they don't give in, the Xuantie Pill will bombard us, and we should do the right thing first."

The blue-robed young monk looked at a few Ye warships in the distance, someone was holding a torch, ready to light the cannon primer, and then looked at the copper cannon muzzles of the few black holes, and then said unwillingly: "Hmph, it's really rude and I don't understand the rules of the envoys, I don't care about these etiquettes with you, I will go into the village with you and meet your Ye City Lord."

"It's rubbish"

"I thought this messenger was so great that he dared to go on top of it."

"This envoy has nothing to do and put on a show, and it is not interesting to ask for himself. ”

"The other envoys of the Immortal Village, we have not seen them before, as soon as they come here, they all go ashore by themselves and enter the Immortal Village accompanied by the Immortal Guard. ”

"This envoy of the Yue Clan Alliance Leader, relying on himself as the envoy of the Immortal Village Alliance, wants to stand here, but he doesn't dare to harden it. ”

In the harbor, many monks and warriors who watched the excitement laughed one after another, revealing their disdain.

However, after the ridicule, the hearts of many casual cultivators and martial artists also became heavy.

The Yue's Immortal Village has already made an envoy here, mostly to discuss the alliance. Once the talks collapse. I'm afraid that a big war is inevitable.

Ye Mo was meditating in the quiet room in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, practicing the "Mixed Yuan Gong", when he was alarmed by Ah Shui's shout.

"The Moon Alliance sent an emissary to visit?"

Ye Mo was slightly stunned, then relieved, stood up and said, "Finally come and go, go and meet him."

Ever since the Yue's Immortal Village sprung up in the Eastern District, Ye Mo had known that this day would always come.

Previously, Yue Xi'er had sent a monk in the name of the village lord to invite him to attend a banquet of the city lord of the immortal village in the eastern district, and discuss the alliance of the eastern district against the alliance of immortal villages in other regions.

Ye Mo refused to go to the banquet.

The reason is simple, he has decided to "prevent the Aolai Islands from being unified by any alliance force" as the battle goal of Ye Village. The Moon Alliance is one of the five major alliances that intend to unify the Ao Lai Islands.

If he joins the Moon Alliance, he will be constrained. Only outside the alliance can it act flexibly against any alliance force that could potentially unify the Ao Lai Seas.

After the establishment of the Yue's Alliance, it has not entered the territory of Yecun.

It was only until now that the Yue Clan Alliance sent an envoy, and Ye Mo was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Yue Clan Alliance should directly raid and kill and forcibly annex Ye Village.

In a reception room in the City Lord's Mansion, the maid brewed a cup of spiritual tea for the blue-robed young envoy.

The blue-robed young envoy didn't even look at it, raised his eyebrows at Chang Fei, who was sitting with him, and said coldly, "Your Ye City Lord is too arrogant, right? Moreover, you even confiscated my sword, which is an insult to my Yue Alliance."

Chang Fei also darkened his face and said coldly: "Your Excellency thinks too highly of yourself. Don't say that you are just an envoy, even if the Lord of the Moon Alliance is in person, if you have such a high-spirited demeanor, the city lord of my family will not welcome it either.

"You ......"

The blue-robed envoy pointed at Chang Fei, so angry that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he say, "You are ignoring the safety of the Ye Clan's Immortal Village, so you are not afraid that you will miss the Ye City Lord's major event because of this?"

"Oh, what's the big deal with Ye to make your envoy so sorry for me?"

Ye Mo appeared at the door of the living room with a white shirt and a light smile.
