My Optimized Immortal Life

As soon as Liu Yun said this, the atmosphere in the palace immediately became oppressive, and everyone's faces became more solemn as the words fell.

"If it's true as Fairy Liuyun said, then the demon god in the misty swamp should be one of the nine demon gods in the Demon God Temple."

Dong Yan spoke slowly, but there was not much worry in his words.

"This news can be reported to the Linxian Pavilion, allowing those Daojuns to weigh in. If the Daojuns in the pavilion are willing to take action, even if it is a demon god, it will be difficult to resist."

Chen Qing listened to what he said and nodded secretly.

"Linxian Pavilion is the only fifth-tier power in the south. It boasts three Dao Lords. These three Dao Lords have been around for a long time, and the youngest, according to records, has been in the Divine Transformation Realm for four hundred years. With such a strong foundation, that demon god certainly cannot withstand it."

As the overlord of the south, Chen Qing had naturally already found out all the news about Linxian Pavilion.

Now that Dong Yan mentioned it, he had a clear idea in his mind.

"The Eastern Demon Territory has begun invading the East China Sea and is currently engaged in a seesaw battle with the Yin Yang Sect. They've also unleashed a tide of beasts in the Misty Marsh, clearly aiming to wipe out the southern and eastern parts of the country."

Qingya thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

Cheng Xiao also continued.

"There's no need to worry too much right now. The boundary between the Eastern Demon Territory and our Southern Wilds is vast. Even if the demon gods over there can lock onto the Southern Wilds through spatial rifts, they can't move all nine demon gods over here. Now that there's a change in the East Sea and demon gods have appeared in the Misty Marsh, at least two demon gods have been moved here. This should be their limit."

As soon as Cheng Xiao said this, everyone nodded, and the solemn expressions on their faces dissipated a lot.

"That being said, if we allow the demon god in the Misty Marsh to continue staying there, there's no guarantee that it won't resort to some means to expand the spatial rift. If a second demon god enters the Misty Marsh, it will be quite dangerous."

Liu Yun asked again, and Dong Yan replied.

"In that case, we still have to try to persuade the Daojuns in Linxian Pavilion. If one of them is willing to take action, then we can try to force this demon god to retreat."

Dong Yan said this, of course he had a plan in mind.

He also has good friends in Linxian Pavilion. Although he is not able to meet Daojun through them, it is enough for him to say a few words in front of Daojun.

The situation in Misty Marsh is relatively stable now. They can still resist by relying on the efforts of these fourth-level sects. However, if the demon god really stabilizes the space rift and connects the two domains, countless demon beasts from the Eastern Demon Domain will cross over. At that time, it will not be something that a few fourth-level sects can resist.

The Dao Lords in Linxian Pavilion should have anticipated this situation, but they have not yet taken action. Dong Yan can only rely on his connections in Linxian Pavilion to test the Dao Lords' attitudes.

After the plan was agreed upon, everyone dispersed.

If Dong Yan could really invite a Dao Lord, then they would definitely have to work together, so that they could get a share of the Misty Lake.

Therefore, they naturally have to go back to the sect to inform other cultivators in the sect, so that they can be mentally prepared and wait for the possible call.

Chen Qing also returned to Luoying Sect.

Han Qiu Shui was already waiting in the courtyard at this time. After Chen Qing came back, he first told her the news revealed by the alliance, and then asked her to prepare to mobilize most of the monks in the sect to deal with the next possible call.

Afterwards, Chen Qing waited for seven days and finally received the summons from Linxian Pavilion.

That was a token from the Immortal Sect sent from Linxian City. It contained information about the Misty Marsh and revealed the invasion of the Eastern Demon Territory. It wanted to summon cultivators from the southern sects to fight against them together. As soon as this news came out, many independent cultivators or low-level sects were immediately frightened.

The reputation of the Eastern Demon Realm has been deeply rooted in the hearts of cultivators in the Southern Wilderness thousands of years ago.

If it could be avoided, no one wanted to have another dispute with the Eastern Demon Territory, but as soon as the news came out of Linxian Pavilion, everyone knew that the battle in Misty Lake was inevitable.

What they have to deal with is the demon god from the Eastern Demon Realm. Even with the help of the Taoist Master of Linxian Pavilion, the cultivators in the southern part are still worried.

The power of the Demon God was shocking, and they did not want to become victims of the battle between the Taoist Lord of Linxian Pavilion and the Demon God. Therefore, most of the low-level forces did not participate in the call initiated by Linxian Pavilion.

However, Chen Qing had already arrived in Linxian City and responded to the call.

His cave is in the Misty Swamp, and the old turtle is still in the center of the Misty Swamp. If he does not participate, he will not be able to know the details in the first time, which is obviously not acceptable.

Han Qiu Shui did not object to this battle. She knew that Chen Qing was extremely powerful, and Xu Lingxin would probably participate as well. With two True Lords taking action, it should not be difficult for her to protect the cultivators of Luoying Sect.

The date for the counterattack on Misty Lake has been set for the beginning of next month. This is to allow the participating sects to mobilize resources and improve their own combat capabilities to avoid excessive losses in the counterattack.

……

At the beginning of the month, Yingzong fell.

The Cloud-Piercing Boat rose from the sect's headquarters, and two flying boats of similar size took off into the air together. These three medium-sized flying boats were part of the foundation accumulated by the Luoying Sect over more than a hundred years of development.

The three flying boats can accommodate thousands of cultivators in total. At this time, the flying boats are already crowded with people coming and going, all of whom are foundation-building disciples within the sect.

After all, they have to enter the misty swamp to counterattack. Low-level cultivators like Qi-refining cultivators who need to rely on magic tools to fly are not good at performing in the swamp. Moreover, the combat power of Qi-refining cultivators is too low. Unless they are protected and enhanced by large-scale formations, they are basically useless in the beast tide.

Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin stood at the bow of the Chuanyun Boat. They looked back at the monks on the three flying boats. Di Jian and Chen Changsheng stood beside them, waiting silently.

After everything was ready, Chen Qing spoke loudly.

"In the past, when dealing with beast tidal waves, we cultivators would fence off and defend ourselves. However, this time, we're counterattacking and facing the beast tidal wave head-on. Without the aid of formations, we're bound to suffer heavy losses. You're all outstanding disciples of our sect. It's not easy for you to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage. This time, I can't guarantee that everyone will return unscathed. Therefore, the contribution earned from slaying the monsters will be doubled."

When the disciples heard what Chen Qing said, the determination on their faces remained unchanged. After hearing that their contribution would be doubled, they even became impatient.

Seeing this, Chen Qing nodded, then turned his head to look at the location of the misty lake and said loudly.

"set off!"

On the three flying boats, infinite array patterns rose up and transformed into spiritual light that surrounded the boats. The flying boats started and flew towards the misty lake, leaving only the figures of the disciples who did not participate at the foot of the mountain.

Almost all of Luoying Sect’s foundation-building disciples were present in this battle, and even only two or three Jindan elders stayed in the sect, which shows how much importance Luoying Sect attached to this battle.

Chen Qing stood at the bow of the boat, looked back at his two disciples, and suddenly took out two formation plates and handed them to them.

"This is a quasi-fourth-level small formation. Even a demon king would need several moves to break it."

Then he took out two talismans and handed them to the two of them.

"This is a teleportation talisman, powerful enough to move a cultivator ten miles away. The two of you are far more powerful than cultivators of the same level, and you will attract the attention of high-level monsters. You can't do without this life-saving item."

Chen Qing gave the two of them some instructions before letting them leave the bow and return to their rooms on the flying boat to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to return.

Xu Lingxin stood beside him and couldn't help but smile as she watched him giving instructions to Di Jian and the others.

After the two of them left, he spoke.

"With my husband's array and talismans protecting them, it's very unlikely that anything will happen to them."

Chen Qing nodded and continued.

"Although their combat power far exceeds that of cultivators of the same level, the beast tide is not a one-on-one fight. If they are surrounded by a large number of people, even the two of them will perish. Therefore, we still need to prepare some life-saving items."
