Chapter 279 Monk Arrangements
From a distance, Xu Qianying spotted Shi Chen's flying boat. A smile of surprise instantly spread across her face. She quickly turned around and shouted to Liang Ruyan and Huang Ziying, "Sister, look! It's my husband's flying boat!"
Shi Chen's flying boat was followed by hundreds of flying boats or flying shuttles. In a moment, it was already ten miles away.
Upon hearing this, Liang Ruyan and Huang Ziying hurriedly looked up. When they saw the familiar silhouette of the flying boat, their eyes were filled with excitement. The three of them couldn't wait to run towards the flying boat, their hearts surging with joy like a tide.
Shi Chen's flying boat slowly landed. He walked down from the boat and saw the anxious figures of Liang Ruyan and the others, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Liang Ruyan was the first to rush to Shi Chen, tears glistening in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice, "Husband, you're finally back. We were so worried."
Xu Qianying and Huang Ziying also came over, their faces filled with happy smiles.
Xu Qianying said, "Husband, we have been worried about you during the time you were away."
Huang Ziying held Shi Chen's hand tightly, as if afraid that he would leave again.
Shi Chen looked at them, smiled gently, and said, "Sorry for worrying you. I have successfully destroyed that Siren army. They will no longer threaten the human race."
Hearing Shi Chen's words, Liang Ruyan and the others were even more delighted. They surrounded Shi Chen, chattering about his experiences in battle. Shi Chen patiently recounted his experiences, and they were sometimes nervous, sometimes amazed, and sometimes full of admiration.
At this moment, an atmosphere of joy filled the air. They seemed to have forgotten everything around them and were immersed in the happiness of reunion.
The sunshine shines on them, painting a warm and beautiful picture for them.
"How's the rescue going here?" Shi Chen frowned slightly and asked while looking at the wreckage of the flying boat.
"We've checked three times, and there are no human cultivators in the wreckage. However, many of the cultivators we rescued were affected by the crash of the flying boat, and some were seriously injured." Xu Qianying said with a sad face and a bitter expression, her eyes full of worry.
"So!" Shi Chen frowned and took out all the healing pills in the storage ring except for the top-grade and the best-grade ones. "Are these healing pills enough? If not, we can only go to the nearest human island market first." As Shi Chen spoke, he handed the pills in his hand to Xu Qianying.
"Treat the most seriously injured first. The lightly injured ones can heal themselves." Liang Ruyan said seriously, her eyes sweeping over the injured monks around her.
"How many cultivators are there?" Shi Chen asked.
"Two thousand three hundred and sixty-one people." Huang Ziying answered quickly, her eyes full of anxiety.
"I destroyed a base of the Siren Clan. There were many captured monks inside. I have brought them all here, a total of 1,382." Shi Chen said with a hint of relief on his face.
At this time, all the monks who were not injured or slightly injured left the flying boat and stood around them.
Shi Chen swept his spiritual sense over, frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Is there a flying boat master or a flying boat manager here?" Shi Chen's voice echoed in the air, his eyes full of expectation.
After waiting for a long time, no cultivator answered. Shi Chen pondered for a moment and asked loudly again: "Are there any survivors on the flying boat?" There was a hint of urgency in Shi Chen's voice.
After a few breaths, an injured Jindan cultivator stood up, saluted and said, "Senior, I am the captain of the flying boat's guard." The Jindan cultivator's face was full of fatigue and pain.
Shi Chen landed beside him, helped the Jindan cultivator up and said, "How many cultivators were there before the flying boat was wrecked? Including the personnel belonging to the flying boat?" Shi Chen's eyes were full of concern.
"Senior, there were 13,280 cultivators when we set out, including shipping personnel." The Jindan cultivator said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Alas! So many monks have died." Shi Chen sighed, a look of grief on his face.
"Thank you for the rescue, senior! This matter must be reported to the coalition forces in time, otherwise the subsequent transport flying boats will probably be in the same situation as us." The Jindan cultivator said gratefully, his eyes full of respect.
"This place is 30,000 miles away from Yuanling Continent and 50,000 miles away from Dayu Continent. It's difficult to contact both sides." Shi Chen frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.
"It's indeed difficult, and there are many dangers on the turbulent sea. We may be attacked by sea monsters if we are not careful." The Jindan cultivator said worriedly.
"I suggest that everyone take your own flying boats or shuttles and follow me. If we encounter sea monsters or sirens, I will deal with them. What do you think of this?" Shi Chen asked loudly to the people around him, his eyes full of determination.
After a moment of silence, a cultivator landed in front of Shi Chen, bowed and said, "Senior, with hundreds of flying boats sailing together like this, we will be too conspicuous and will attract the attention of sea monsters or sirens." There was doubt on the cultivator's face.
"My name is Shi Chen. I'm pretty good at formations. I can set up a twelve-circle defense formation within a three-mile radius with my flying boat as the center. Even a cultivator who has achieved perfect fusion will need to attack with all his strength for a quarter or two before he can break it." Shi Chen said confidently, raising his hands slightly.
"Sixth-order defensive formation! Good, this is the best way." The Jindan cultivator's eyes lit up and he agreed, with excitement on his face.
"Each group of twelve people will board a flying boat, and the driver will be replaced every hour. This way, we can sail continuously while also practicing at intervals." Shi Chen said, his eyes full of wisdom.
"agree!"
"Agree!"
"This is the best!"
Many monks expressed their agreement, with joy on their faces.
"You guys start assigning personnel. I'll set up the formation first. Once it's activated, everyone just needs to stay within a three-mile radius of my flying boat." With that, Shi Chen began to chant hand gestures to set up the formation. His expression was focused, his hands dancing rapidly.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Chen launched the last formation flag and looked around. Eleven people were still standing beside him, seemingly waiting for him to finish setting up the formation.
"What are you doing?" Shi Chen asked doubtfully, frowning slightly.
"Shi Qian..." The leader clasped his fists and was about to reply when a handsome young man suddenly rushed out from behind him and bowed to Shi Chen.
"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!" the handsome young man said loudly, his eyes full of reverence.
Shi Chen stepped aside, his spiritual power burst out, and he lifted up the handsome young man and said, "I have never accepted a disciple. Did you recognize the wrong person, little brother?" Shi Chen's face showed surprise.
"That's right. Do you still remember that year at the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate? At that time, the Qingxuan Sect no longer accepted me. It was you who asked the senior sister who presided over the entrance examination to let me in." The handsome young man said eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.
After being expelled from the Qingxuan Sect, he no longer asked about the affairs of the Qingxuan Sect. Shi Chen only remembered at this moment that there was indeed such a thing. The handsome young man was called Li Wentian, but at that time he was told that he would be accepted as a disciple only if he passed the three-year assessment of the outer sect.
Now that he is no longer a member of the Qingxuan Sect, it is impossible for him to accept an outer disciple of the Qingxuan Sect as his own disciple.
