Chapter 102 The troops are divided into three groups
Inside the tent, with the arrival of Jiang Mo, the depressing atmosphere eased a little. Several family heads and the head of Yanwu Hall briefly explained the current situation.

"The Shanhai Chamber of Commerce was jointly founded by the Wang family and some local nobles. The person in charge of escorting the ferry cargo this time is Wang's cousin, Wang Yin."

Lu Xuan handed a sea map to Jiang Mo and circled an area of ​​common sea between the East Ocean and the mainland with his finger.

"Look, Master Jiang, this is it, the East China Sea."

"According to the ferry's sailing direction, it should have continued to turn southwest to avoid risks, but the accident came very suddenly. It seemed that those Japanese aliens had intelligence in advance. They intercepted the ferry halfway when it entered this sea area and was less than two days away from reaching the mainland."

Everyone looked solemn, especially the patriarch of the Wang family. He boasted that he had always done a good job of keeping secrets within the family, but his cousin had encountered such an accident, which made him, who was already very suspicious, extremely certain that there was a traitor in the ferry's escort team.

Jiang Mo followed Lu Xuan's instructions and browsed the markings on the map. There were densely packed small islands, scattered in the boundless sea like stars in the sky. It was not easy to find the enemy's position accurately.

"There are over a hundred Japanese aliens attacking the ferry, and their styles are completely different. The guards of my Wang family alone cannot hold out for long."

"Before the communication was cut off, the last 'divine painting' I received showed that the steam engine of the ferry was destroyed by several experts in the tribe, and some of the cargo was sunk to the bottom of the sea. It is still unknown whether there are any survivors."

"These devils are still floating on the sea. In no more than a week, they will infiltrate the border like locusts and come to the interior."

The head of the Wang family had gray hair, and his face, which was already slightly cunning and mean, became even uglier because of the irritability in his heart.

He rubbed his furrowed brows. Every second of waiting seemed so tormenting. He spoke in a tired tone:
"Several of us have sent out aliens who are good at reconnaissance to search, and Yuncang Valley has also agreed to our request and released thousands of seabirds to roam the surrounding seas day and night."

"I can't find any trace. It's very tricky."

After he finished speaking, the head of Yanwu Hall immediately followed up: "As long as they haven't approached the surrounding sea area, we have time to prepare. It just so happens that everyone from Longhu Mountain, Shangqing, and Huode Sect will also be here tomorrow."

"Also, Brother Lu, how is the situation over there?"

Hearing this, a rare cold smile appeared on the already haggard face of the Lu family's head:

"It's done. My son has successfully entrusted the Tang Sect to take action together. With all of you present here, I don't believe these beasts can get away alive."

Since his eldest son was brutally murdered by the Japanese demons, he has been heartbroken for more than half a year and barely managed to hold on to his last breath. Now all that is left is hatred. If he can kill more Japanese monsters, he will do it no matter how much it costs.

Everyone discussed the next plan and formulated strategies. Jiang Mo looked at the blueprint of the sea area and secretly used his Qi to make a copy.

The dark sky was shrouded in mist. A seabird flew over the low sea, its eyes glowing with a strange green light, heading towards the distant island.

On the beach near the sea, a large number of people gathered around a campfire. They were wearing Japanese clothes and laughing.

"You'd better hand over what you're hiding."

A rusty iron chain pierced the middle-aged man's limbs and hung him upside down on a tree. The sticky blood dripped down, making a series of echoes.

The person in charge of the interrogation was a young man wearing a Tang Dynasty shirt.

However, Wang Yin, who was barely breathing, was becoming increasingly fuzzy and felt that the blood in his body was about to run out. He smiled perfunctorily and said, "That's enough. You little bastard who sells out your master for fame, stop it."

Standing next to the young man were several elderly Japanese men. After two days of waiting, their patience was exhausted.

"Get rid of him, Wei Jun. There's no point in keeping him."

Hearing the order behind him, the young man in Tangshan drew the long sword from his waist, aimed at Wang Yin's head, and killed him with one blow, with blood splattering everywhere.

"Mr. Fujimiya, I'm sorry that I couldn't get more useful information out of this person."

Wei Youchu smiled peacefully, wiped the blade with silk, and slowly brushed off the blood. Unlike other strange people, he came from the mainland and had been lurking on the ferry of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce, providing navigation information after reaching certain deals with the East.

At this moment, an old man seemed to have discovered something and looked up at the night sky vigilantly, only to see a solitary seabird flying by.

However, his inner uneasiness and his killer instinct made him almost hesitate. He raised his hand and threw a dart at an extremely fast speed, hitting the target in an instant.

"call out--!"

The seabird was bleeding like a fountain, its head was pierced, and its body fell uncontrollably.

Several old men and Wei Youchu followed and found a human-made copper ring on the seabird's body. It was tied to the claw of an animal and engraved with the number 100.

At this moment, some people felt a chill down their spines and their brains were confused.

"Mr. Wei, you need to give us an explanation."

A cold voice came from an old man's throat. The chilling murderous intent made Wei Youchuen look back stiffly, but his pupils trembled suddenly. A sharp kunai was close at hand, only a hair's breadth away from his eyes.

"Mr. Ueno, please believe in my sincerity. I have no reason to betray you."

"Pfft——!"

The cold light was as fast as a flash of light, and a line of blood cut the throat.

Among the three old men, the most silent old man in black kimono drew his sword and cut off Wei Youchun's head in an instant.

The latter didn't even have the chance to say his last words. His head moved and his body fell straight to the ground. Even after death, his pupils were still filled with fear as if he was trying to explain himself.

The other two old men seemed to have expected his move and were not surprised.

"Iwasaki, are you dissatisfied with him?"

The old man in black kimono had no expression on his face. He put away his long sword and said indifferently:

"Since he has been discovered by those mainlanders, he is no longer valuable. Just kill him in advance."

"That's right. Then, are we going to separate and sneak in?"

Fujimiya Huye held a crystal blue ball in his hand and leaned close to the corpse. In an instant, Wei Youchun's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few breaths, it was reduced to a pile of ashes.

"Wouldn't it be too risky if we split our forces into three groups?"

The old man named Ueno Shimotsuki was a little concerned, and a hint of wariness flashed across his brown eyes.

"If we don't separate, none of us can get in."

Iwasaki Kawataku seemed a little impatient. To him, breaking through with the people from these two schools was no different from carrying a burden.

"You and I have our own roles to play. There's no need to pretend to be companions."

"Iwasaki-kun, you are joking. If that's the case, then we should split up."

Fujimiya Huye had no objection and was too lazy to argue further, because he knew that the old stubborn man in front of him always relied on his strong strength and would not listen to anyone's opinions.

The next day, fishing village.

Zhang Jingqing arrived at the Tianshi Mansion as scheduled, along with his disciples Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong.

Huode Sect, Shangqing Sect, and Tang Sect followed one after another.

The tent was filled with masters from various sects. The young generation present only included Cheng Zhen, Shui Yun, Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, Tian Jinzhong, Lu Ci, and Yang Lie. The young man in a white robe standing beside the long table was a disciple of Yun Canggu. He reported on the search of more than a thousand seabirds last night:
"Uncle Lu, fellow seniors, at midnight last night, I found traces of those foreigners on Beixuan Island in the East China Sea."

"Afterwards, we will arrange more seabirds to cover that sea area and monitor their movements. Currently, these people are attacking from three directions in three groups."

"If they are not intercepted, they will reach the coastal area and land today."

After that, he held the brush, dipped it in ink, and outlined three major coordinates on the sea map on the table.

"However, my eyesight is dull and I am unable to distinguish their schools."

Upon hearing this, several family heads and leaders of various factions guessed the other party's intentions. It was clearly an open conspiracy to deliberately disperse their fighting power in order to gain a higher chance of success.

While everyone was still weighing countermeasures, Jiang Mo pointed to a coordinate on the drawing and took the lead in expressing his opinion:
"Leave this team to our Sanyi Sect to intercept and kill. The other two will be in the hands of you all."

"Master Jiang, are you sure?"

The young man in white robe was slightly surprised, and then said: "This team has 32 people. The sea is vast, so I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

"Sure, no problem."

Jiang Mo lowered his eyes and chuckled. Above the sea, there was plenty of water energy for him to manipulate. It was undoubtedly an excellent natural place. As long as he met those Japanese people, he was sure that he could keep them all.

The leader of the Huode Sect and the head of the Shangqing Sect, who had witnessed Jiang Mo's heroic spirit in Longhu Mountain, expressed their approval one after another.

No one questioned it. After all, this was a ruthless man who could even defeat Quan Xing. Now he was famous in the circle and was regarded by many people as the top of the righteous path with unfathomable strength.

Then, Zhang Jingqing and the head of Shangqing Sect discussed for a while and reached a tacit understanding. They selected the team located in the uppermost sea area and announced in public:

"The Tianshi Mansion and Shangqing will be in charge of this group. You will intercept and kill the last group."

"Okay, that works."

The Huode Sect, Yanwu Hall, the Three Families, and the Tang Clan had gathered nearly thirty people. They were confident that they could intercept and kill the team of about twenty people.

"This is a token of location. By following the direction of the feather, we can go to the sea area covered by seabirds and find those Japanese people."

The disciples of Yuncanggu took out three black feathers that they had prepared in advance and distributed them to Jiang Mo, Zhang Jingqing and Tang Bingwen.

After they took it, Lu Xuan and the other two family heads estimated that the time was about up, so they stood up together, bowed politely and said:
"The ship has been arranged. You can set off at any time. I'll leave the matters at sea to you."

"Let's face the national crisis together and kill all the thieves!"

They all said in unison, with fierce murderous intent, determined to annihilate the entire Japanese alien army.

This will be the largest-scale confrontation between the two countries in decades, and the tense smell of gunpowder can be smelled across the distant sea.

Before the meeting ended, Zhang Zhiwei came over specially to reminisce about the past with Lu Jin. The two of them were arm in arm outside the tent, whispering to each other non-stop.

The sky gradually darkened, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sea breeze howled.

In an instant, the factions responsible for intercepting the three teams boarded the ship.

“Buzz!!!!”

With a deafening roar, the anchors were raised and the two ships left the port one after another.

On a remote cliff somewhere, waves hit the rocks and white waves flew up. Jiang Mo watched the ships on both sides gradually go away.

"Uncle Master, do you think they can succeed?"

Cheng Zhen was also looking into the distance. He was a little worried. The strength of the Japanese alien was unknown and anything could happen.

"Success or failure, victory or defeat all depends on a moment, I hope they succeed."

Jiang Mo twisted a black feather on his fingertips. The end of the feather trembled slightly. There was an invisible pulling force, dragging Jiang Mo's fingers towards the sea in front.

"Om-!"

Jiang Mo raised his right hand, and a transparent vortex appeared in his palm. He took out the guns, ammunition, and grenades stored in heaven and distributed them to the three disciples.

"Check the gun and kill the thieves if you see them. Don't leave them alive."

"Understood, Uncle Master!"

There was a storm coming ahead, with dark clouds covering the entire sky. Jiang Mo exhaled a breath of Qi, and his hair turned instantly white. He entered the third level of rebirth, and scarlet-gold Dao marks appeared in his eyes, and his five senses soared in a straight line.

"Let's go, follow me and put an end to these disasters."

As soon as he finished speaking, silver light shot up from the cliff into the sky. Jiang Mo and his three disciples broke through the heavy clouds and mist, swept across a large area of ​​sea, and continued to shorten the distance.

There were three lifeboats docked on a deserted island. After sailing for more than ten hours, Fujimiya Moriya was the first of thirty-one Oriental aliens to jump off the boat and walk towards the beach.

"What an annoying little thing, just following me from a distance."

Stepping on the cold sea water, Fujimiya Moriya could not suppress his irritation. He looked up at the sky. It was cloudy and a rainstorm was about to come. Hundreds of seabirds were circling in the sky, following closely.

Since leaving Beixuan Island late at night, these things have been following us like evil spirits, and their numbers are increasing.

Even he couldn't spare the energy to eliminate them one by one from a distance of several hundred meters.

"Sir, there is going to be a rainstorm. Please take shelter on the island for a while."

The ninja next to him said respectfully: "We will reach the coastline tonight at the latest."

"Tonight? Those mainlanders may not give us so much time."

The seabirds in the sky were silent, but it made Fujimiya Gouji feel even more uneasy. He frowned and gave an order:
"Let everyone be prepared for battle and do not let down your guard. Our position is exposed and the enemy may attack at any time."

"Yes!" The subordinate nodded, and just when he was about to turn around and instruct other aliens.

A roar was heard from the distant clouds, and a bright silver light suddenly tore through the dark clouds, approaching with a strong sense of oppression, like a meteorite from outer space, falling down.

Instantly.

Fujimiya Moriya's face changed drastically. In just a moment of eye contact, his skin went numb all over his body and he felt an unprecedented crisis.

"Enemy attack, counterattack——!"

He yelled at the top of his lungs, and his hands formed seals so quickly that his afterimages became blurry.

"Ninjutsu: Flame Sleep!"

Suddenly, the Qi light around him burst out, and a huge fire dragon made of red flames flew into the air and bit up, colliding violently with the silver light wrapped around the human figure.
