The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Qingqiu suddenly appeared!

Su Xiaoya's spiritual consciousness spread out rapidly like a surging tide, instantly penetrating the misty water vapor of the East China Sea and accurately capturing the huge figure that pierced the sky like a pillar supporting the sky - the Fusang tree.

However, what is surprising is that this hibiscus tree actually grows in Tanggu.

Could this be the tree in the water?

However, none of this mattered, as there was a fairy mountain in the sea nearby—Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain. Therefore, the most crucial thing at the moment was to determine whether the Tanggu area had an owner.

Su Xiaoya quickly withdrew her consciousness, and her gaze, like two flashes of lightning, fell directly on Yu Shuheng beside her. At this moment, Yu Shuheng had just withdrawn his gaze from the hibiscus tree.

The two looked at each other, with an indescribable expectation flashing in their eyes, and smiled in tacit understanding - such a precious land, if they could successfully take it, would surely become another crucial foundation for the Su family.

At this moment, Bai Qiyi, the great elder of the fox clan, strode forward with vigorous steps. His snow-white beard trembled slightly because of his inner excitement, like silver threads swaying in the wind.

He bowed to Su Xiaoya and the other two, his voice as resounding as a bell: "Thank you three Daoists for escorting our clan members all the way back to Qingqiu. I will never forget this great favor. I wonder if you three Daoists need anything, but as long as I can, I will do my best!"

Since they were so enthusiastic and proactive in offering her a ladder, Su Xiaoya naturally didn't pretend to be reserved. She got straight to the point and asked without reservation, "Does this Tang Valley have an owner now?"

Bai Qiyi has experienced thousands of years, so how could he not hear the deep meaning in Su Xiaoya's words.

He stroked his beard gently, then turned and exchanged a quick glance with the Fox Clan elders behind him. A flash of understanding flashed in the eyes of the elders, and after a slight nod, Bai Qiyi slowly spoke, "This place is ownerless. However, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Su is interested in establishing a sect here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to be worried that Su Xiaoya would misunderstand him. His eyes swept over Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng, who were already in the Mahayana stage, and he quickly added, "Of course, I don't mean to stop you. It's just that the depth of the East China Sea Clan is unfathomable. Not to mention other things, the surrounding forces alone are not easy to provoke."

"Oh? Please tell me in detail, Elder Bai." Yu Wenjianyu spoke at the right time. He also wanted to know the situation of the sea people around Tanggu.

After all, the Sea God, the Whale King, and the Mermaid King, with whom they had met twice before, were not around. It was also unknown whether the other Sea Monster Kings were easy to get along with.

If the Su family really established themselves in Tanggu, regardless of whether or not they would relocate some of their clansmen there, at the very least, the Su family members would definitely come here to gain some experience. If it was really too dangerous, then it wouldn't be suitable.

Bai Qiyi sighed deeply, his tone solemn. He was also worried that these fellow Taoists would rely on their Mahayana cultivation and underestimate the power of the sea clan, and they would definitely suffer a great loss.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qiyi said sincerely, "The closest ones are the Ink-Armored Crabs. They are like an impenetrable fortress, entrenched in the Black Stone Reefs a hundred miles to the east, as solid as a stabilizing force."

"The crab soldiers of the Ink Armor Crab Clan are all clad in black armor, as if made of steel, invulnerable to swords and spears, and as solid as a rock. Their clan leader, Mo Yihe, has even reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and is like an invincible war god, majestic and domineering."

"This tribe is extremely protective of their own people. Any creature that approaches the Black Rock Reef will be regarded as a provocation by them, and treated as a formidable enemy. It is a restricted area for outsiders and no one is allowed to intrude."

Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng couldn't help but exchange glances, secretly surprised. Wasn't Qingqiu newly born? Why did it feel like Bai Qiyi knew everything about the sea tribe forces near Qingqiu, like the back of his hand?

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!

The two remained calm and secretly on guard. Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya were partners and could naturally be trusted, but as for the Great Elder of Qingqiu, they still had to wait and see.

Bai Qiyi seemed unaware of the change in the aura of Su Xiaoya and the others, and continued to explain the distribution of forces in the surrounding area in an eloquent manner.

After all, Qingqiu was planning to make friends with them, so naturally, they had to show some sincerity. Of course, this was also a disguised display of strength—even though Qingqiu was a secret place, it was not behind in news.

Just because others can’t enter the Qingqiu Secret Realm doesn’t mean the foxes inside can’t get out.

"Further south, you'll find the Colorful Clam Tribe. They're like mysterious pearls in the deep sea, dazzling and resplendent. They live in the deep-sea coral valley, like a dream castle."

"The clam girls of the Seven-Colored Clam Clan are all skilled in refining the Seven-Colored Magical Pearl. These Pearls shimmer like the brightest stars in the night sky, and can cast a magical water array, like a net that drags the heavens and the earth."

"If it was a clam monster in the Tribulation Crossing Stage that set up the formation, even a cultivator in the Mahayana Stage would easily become deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves, as if they were under a spell."

"Moreover, they have close ties with the South China Sea Clam Clan and support each other. Most people really don't dare to provoke them."

"The Seven-Colored Clam Clan is extremely well-informed, like they have super-ears. If there's any disturbance in Tanggu, they'll be the first to know about it, and we have to be on guard."

"And then there are the Sea-Splitting Sharks to the west. These creatures are like a pack of ferocious wolves, extremely vicious and known for their speed, as fast as lightning."

"The shark commanders of the Sea-Splitting Shark Clan all have the cultivation level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage. They are like sharp swords, rampaging across the sea, plundering like the wind. Even the sea clan members themselves are wary of them and avoid them as if they were the God of Plague."

Su Xiaoya listened. She and Yu Shuheng were both powerful Mahayana cultivators, their cultivation was enough to crush these sea creatures. Furthermore, she wasn't here to fight them, so she could always come up with a way to have the best of both worlds. If all else failed, there was still the Golden Dragon, who would surely be able to avert danger.

It is also possible to use courtesy first and then force.

Therefore, Su Xiaoya's heart remained calm. Instead, she smiled faintly, reassuring Elder Bai Qiyi, "That's not a problem. When we were traveling in the East China Sea before, we happened to meet the Sea God, the Whale King, and the Mermaid King. We have some acquaintances with them."

"What?!" Bai Qiyi and several fox elders were struck by lightning. Their eyes widened in an instant, and their faces were filled with astonishment.

The Sea God, the Whale King and the Mermaid King are the pinnacle existences of the East China Sea clan. They are like three towering mountains reaching into the clouds. They have been feared and respected throughout the world for a hundred thousand years.

Who could have predicted that a hundred thousand years later, these three would not only still be alive, but also be friends with Su Xiaoya and the others? This was simply like a fool's dream, unbelievable.

After being stunned, Bai Qiyi finally felt relieved - with the help of these three powerful men, the Ink-armored Crab Clan, the Seven-color Clam Clan and the like, even if they coveted Tanggu, would never dare to rashly come and cause trouble.

In this way, Su Xiaoya and the others will have no worries after occupying the Fusang Tree and Tang Valley.

Not to mention, Qingqiu just returned to the East China Sea at a time when it needed allies.

Su Xiaoya and the other two have unfathomable levels of cultivation, and have close ties with the top forces of the sea clan. If Qingqiu can work hand in hand with them, it can save a lot of trouble - after all, the secret realm of Qingqiu is well preserved, which is bound to attract the covetousness of other forces. Having two Mahayana cultivators guarding Tanggu can also block a lot of storms for Qingqiu.

What Bai Qiyi did not explicitly state was that the Fusang tree had a very deep connection with Qingqiu.

This time, if it weren't for the extremely pure Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox bloodline in Bai Yi's body, he would not be able to activate the Fusang tree at all, let alone pass through the illusion array around the Fusang tree to find the passage to the Qingqiu secret realm.

It can be said that the Fusang tree is not only the patron saint of Qingqiu, but also the first indestructible line of defense of Qingqiu against the outside world.

Now that Qingqiu has appeared, the illusion array covering the Fusang Tree and Tanggu has naturally become invalid. These two precious places are exposed to the East China Sea, and there must be many coveters.

However, Qingqiu had just returned and its foundation was not yet stable. In addition, the East China Sea forces had divided the territory as early as 100,000 years ago. Tanggu was a buffer zone tacitly agreed upon by all forces. If Qingqiu rashly incorporated it into its territory, it would inevitably trigger a war.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoya and the other two have a good relationship with the Sea God, and they are not local forces in the East China Sea. Occupying the ownerless Tang Valley and Fusang Tree will not affect the interests of the existing forces, and will also allow Qingqiu to have a powerful neighbor. It is absolutely beneficial with no harm.

After finalizing the matter, Su Xiaoya and the other two did not stay any longer. They said goodbye to Bai Qiyi and drove the flying boat towards Tanggu - they also needed to familiarize themselves with the environment here as soon as possible, plan the location of the teleportation array, and turn Tanggu into the Su family's trial ground and retreat.

After all, the portable space was the ultimate trump card, and it must not be exposed unless in dire straits. Tanggu, with its abundant spiritual energy and the presence of innate spiritual roots like the Fusang tree, was a perfect base for the Su family's disciples to train and gather the East China Sea's natural treasures.
