Chapter 1136

The next day after Long Chen left the Xuan Master’s room, all the inner sect disciples were gathered once more . This included the disciples from the senior generation .

The announcement was that all inner sect disciples were to be sent to the Xuantian Dao Sect’s defensive territory bordering the eastern sea .

The new disciples were still puzzled, but the old disciples were delighted .

The eastern sea referred to the part of the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring that bordered the eastern part of the Martial Heaven Continent . The Xuantian Dao Sect had a four million mile zone there that they were to defend .

Other than the natural defenses, the places where the sea-ring met the continent were all defended by the various large sects . They had all established defensive fortifications against sea demons .

All sects with any fame were in charge of an area . The stronger the sect, the greater the area they would defend . And the greater the area, the more manpower they would need to spend on defending .

However, there were also benefits . Taking the edges of their defensive regions and drawing straight lines until they reached the Eastern Wasteland, all the resources found within that region of the sea would go to the defender .

The Martial Heaven Sea-Ring not only had countless sea demons, but it was also filled with countless mineral deposits .

There were many rare ores present in the sea . But due to the rampant sea demons, mining those ores was difficult . Without a certain amount of power, any sect attempting such a thing would pay a heavy price instead of making money .

As for the region the Xuantian Dao Sect was in charge of, there were three rare ore deposits, as well as an artificial breeding zone where a few precious sea demons were being raised .

This region was one of the pillars of the Xuantian Dao Sect . Each year, the sect would take in a large amount of wealth from this region .

There was plenty of profit to be made here, even by disciples . The previous generation’s disciples had not only gained a huge number of points for their work, but when they had time off, they could even go hunting in the sea . Any treasures they obtained would be theirs . It was the best opportunity to get rich .

It could be said that other than the Infernal Devil Abyss, this was the best place to get points . And there wasn’t much danger there .

“You’re not going for fun . According to the scouts, the sea’s tide is starting to rise, and it’s very likely that a huge beast tide will pour out of the sea not long from now . Your mission is to kill as many sea demons as possible before the beast tide comes . This is a rare opportunity . Although there aren’t any points given for this, the corpses and cores of the sea demons you kill will be yours . However, I don’t want to see people fighting each other because of money .

“This time, the leaders of the expedition will be Long Chen and Gao Xianyang . The two of them have different leaders.h.i.+p styles, but their combat power is about the same . So you can all choose which side to join for yourselves . Once you choose, you won’t be able to switch, and their orders must be executed regardless of any circ.u.mstances . Otherwise, the Elder Hall will decide the punishment,” said Liu Cang, the new vice Xuan Master .

Everyone was surprised to hear there would be two leaders . Clearly, the Dao Sect was aware that the two of them couldn’t work together . Forcing them to do so would only cause chaos .

In other words, the factions were essentially dissolved . In the future, the Xuantian Dao Sect would only have two factions . Either choose Long Chen’s, or choose Gao Xianyang’s .

“Stand behind whoever you choose . I’ll give you fifteen minutes . Choose well,” said Liu Cang .

The Heaven Female Alliance was the first to burst into cheers and run to the Dragonblood Legion’s side .

Hua s.h.i.+yu clenched her teeth in fury . “You immoral girls, you’re all thankless wretches! I can’t believe I ever treated you so well! He doesn’t even need to seduce you for you to go running to him!”

“Haha, big sister s.h.i.+yu, they’re just excited . You’re naturally the big sister we respect the most,” comforted Zhao Ziyan .

She knew Hua s.h.i.+yu’s character . She was very obstinate, and she didn’t like men . Even if she admired Long Chen, seeing all her people immediately run to his side naturally irritated her, causing her to feel betrayed .

Zhao Ziyan pulled Hua s.h.i.+yu over and winked to Long Chen . He immediately understood .

“Fairy s.h.i.+yu, we’ll be able to fight side by side again in the future . Control your army of fairies . I don’t want to see my brothers run off because they were seduced,” laughed Long Chen .

“Tch, if you have any ability, just try seducing anyone!” Hua s.h.i.+yu frowned .

But Long Chen’s words still caused her to relax greatly . His meaning was clear . The Heaven Female Alliance was still the Heaven Female Alliance . The Dragonblood Legion wouldn’t touch them .

Although Hua s.h.i.+yu had also known that Long Chen wasn’t such a person, she didn’t like the feeling of having the power taken from her . Furthermore, she was still sensitive after her previous loss .

She was even afraid that others would begin looking down on her . Although Zhao Ziyan had constantly comforted and encouraged her, and the other disciples had increased their care of her, she still didn’t feel any sense of security .

But Long Chen’s words, although they also contained a somewhat provoking air, put her at ease .
