Chapter 697 Base

Meanwhile, everyone in the Dragon Palace of the Western Sea also participated in the ceremony for the little nine-tailed fox Qingheng to recognize his ancestors.

Before Qingheng was discovered by Qinghe, the chief of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Sima Ming had already received the boundary-breaking communication talisman sent by Xie Chang'an.

But Kongkong arrived too late; Qinghe had already led them into the Qingqiu Secret Realm.

Qinghe was not Ling Shuang Zhenjun, so he naturally did not know about the Sword Sect's boundary-breaking communication talisman. Therefore, he was unaware that the situation of the Qingqiu Fox Clan was being "live-streamed" through the boundary-breaking communication talisman.

Kongkong was eager to try: "Whatever the secret realm, Kongkong can get there! Kongkong can bring my brothers back!"

Jiang Li shook her head: "Kongkong, you're still a baby. I can't let you put yourself in danger."

Although Kongkong has extremely high cultivation, he is still a very young child, and it would be dangerous for him to venture into the Qingqiu Secret Realm alone.

The nine-tailed fox is an ancient divine beast with a history of ten thousand years and should not be underestimated. Moreover, the fox clan is skilled in seduction and illusion. How can we feel at ease letting Kongkong, a baby who has just entered the world, go to Qingqiu alone?

Fortunately, Qingheng is the apple of the eye of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. With their life-bound contract, Yun Jiuzhong and Sima Ming are currently safe and sound. Xie Chang'an decided to wait and see.

With the precise location provided by the boundary-breaking communication talisman, if Yun Jiuzhong and the other two are in danger, he can immediately join Taixu to break into the Qingqiu Secret Realm and bring them back.

Upon hearing that Little Nine-Tailed Fox had transformed into the young master of Qingqiu and the direct descendant of the ancient divine beast Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Su Miaomiao and Lu Jingxiu were filled with envy.

Senior Brother Yun has such great fortune, he's almost comparable to Xiao Lili!

Both of them began to examine their own natal spirit pets, wondering if theirs might also have the bloodline of an ancient divine beast.

The Nine-Lives Mystic Cat protested, "Miaomiao, what kind of look is that? Are you disgusted that I don't have divine beast blood?"

She jumped onto Su Miaomiao's lap, glaring at her like a cat: "Tell me! Have you changed your mind? Do you have another cat outside?"

Su Miaomiao quickly raised her hand to assure everyone: "Absolutely not! My cat will always be my most beloved treasure!"

Lu Jingxiu's Thunderwing Eagle also bristled, glancing sideways at its contracted partner, as if it would unleash a thunderbolt to blast him if he had any disloyal intentions!

Helpless, Lu Jingxiu could only swear that he would be the only eagle for all eternity! He wouldn't even glance at any other spirit beasts!

Zhu Yingying facepalmed, while the three-legged golden crow burst into laughter, "These few dim-witted idiots!"

Unlike his three-legged companion, who chose such a wise and reliable contractual partner!

Zhou Huai'an and the other two Sword Sect disciples watched this scene with great curiosity. Their natal spirit pets were riding on their masters' heads and acting arrogantly. It was estimated that only the Beast Taming Sect, which loved beasts as much as their own lives, could have such a strange sight.

Jiang Li laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Xie Chang'an's lips curled slightly as he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Little Tanuki, in your heart, am I more important, or are Eggs more important?"

His warm breath brushed against her cheek, involuntarily reminding her of that passionate kiss from that day.

Jiang Li's face instantly flushed red, and she retorted, "Then tell me, is Taixu more important or am I?"

Xie Chang'an replied without hesitation: "Of course you're more important!"

Taixu, who had overheard everything, was immediately furious, like a pufferfish. "I knew it! I've had no standing in this family for a long time!"

He angrily transformed into a streak of sword light and went to find his unfortunate buddy, Kongkong.

Zhou Huai'an and the other two Sword Sect disciples were speechless. Everyone else had friends, but the three of them were all alone!

They couldn't help but look at their natal swords, sighed deeply, and wondered when they would come to life.

Chonghua Zhenjun's Taixu Sword came to life when he was in the Golden Core stage!

Xie Chang'an said solemnly, "Since Nephew Sima and Brother Yun are safe and sound for the time being, let's discuss the next steps."

Zhu Yingying turned to Jiang Li: "Little Li Li, you go first."

Jiang Li cleared her throat and began to explain her plan.

She planned to establish their headquarters in the Western Sea, using it as a "base behind enemy lines" to secretly develop their power.

Zhou Huai'an raised a question: "The Western Sea borders the Demon Realm and is the most barren region in the Demon Realm. The demons here generally have low cultivation levels. Why choose the Western Sea?"

Didn't we initially say we'd establish our base in the ancestral land of the dragons?

Jiang Li said, "The ends of the earth, the corners of the sea, the eclipse of the sun, the shadow of the moon. These are clues about the ancestral land of the dragon race. What are your thoughts on this?"

"The ends of the earth, the corners of the sea?"

Zhu Yingying's eyes flashed. "You mean the Western Sea?"

Jiang Li shook her head: "It's unknown at the moment. However,"

Her eyes shone brightly. "The Xuanwu Clan Chief has cast another divination for us!"

"Yes, I've heard that Xuanwu is good at divination!"

Su Miaomiao asked anxiously, "What does the divination mean?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The divination indicates that going west is auspicious, and things will be successful if you encounter water."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Facing west is auspicious, and encountering water brings success. Furthermore, the phrase "the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea" perfectly aligns with the Western Sea!

"Then what is the interpretation of 'solar eclipse, moon's shadow'?" Zhou Qianchen humbly sought an explanation.

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "That's unknown."

Xie Chang'an suddenly asked, "Is the Moonlight City that Hai Yacha mentioned related to the 'Shadow of the Moon'?"

Jiang Li clapped her hands: "Yes, that's what I think too!"

Her face lit up with excitement. "Brother Chang'an, let Brother Hai take us sightseeing tomorrow!"

"Okay." Xie Chang'an's eyes were full of doting affection.

Jiang Li looked at Zhu Yingying and Su Miaomiao: "Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, shall we go together? There is a kind of moonstone in Moonlight City that can emit the light of the moon!"

Su Miaomiao teased, "We won't be the ones getting in the way. Little Lili, you and True Lord Chonghua go ahead."

Zhu Yingying smiled and said, "Yes, is Senior Sister the kind of person who doesn't know her place?"

Jiang Li blushed, stomped her foot, and scolded, "Senior Sister!"

Xie Chang'an smiled slightly: "Continue."

Jiang Li glared at her two senior sisters and continued, "In the Western Sea, there is also a sea race called the Flying Whale. They are the only race that can cross the Western Sea. They are usually in the shape of fish, but when they encounter storms or demons, they can grow wings and fly into the air."

Su Miaomiao was overjoyed: "Kunpeng?"

Jiang Li shook her head and said, "It's not Kunpeng, but perhaps it has the bloodline of Kunpeng."

Su Miaomiao sighed, "Oh."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I want to form an alliance with them and establish a Western Sea Merchant Guild!"

Zhu Yingying asked curiously, "Are we going to do business? Or are we going to secretly develop our power?"

Jiang Li smiled slyly: "There's no conflict. Besides, the primary condition for developing power is money!"

Money makes the world go round, but without money, even ghosts won't open their doors. Without a generous reward, who would risk their life for you?

Zhou Huai'an praised, "Jiang Xianzi's words make sense!"

Poor sword cultivators understand best the difficulties of being broke.

Jiang Li added, "While making money, merchant groups can also pass on messages, gather intelligence, and win people's hearts, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Xie Chang'an said in a deep voice: "The premise is that the Flying Whale Clan agrees to form an alliance with you!"

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "We can offer them benefits they can't refuse."
