Chapter 2220 - 2223: Landing on Panlong Island

Mr. Shenyue and the Immortal Jiu were not lying.

Their level of Diving Spell has the capability of transporting ten thousand soldiers with cultivation levels countless ranks lower than theirs, from underwater to a thousand miles away.

This is the basic operation once immortality cultivators in the Immortal Domain master the Diving Spell.

Under the operation of Immortal Jiu and Mr. Shenyue, the Diving Spell sent out the first batch of ten thousand people.

Qin Tian was among the first batch of ten thousand people.

He had to go first to assess the situation, find opportunities, establish a foothold, and avoid being discovered by the Dragon Clan.

Of course, the more concealed, the better. It would be ideal if they're only discovered after all eighty thousand have landed.

Qin Tian departed in the first batch, followed by Duan Xiaodao in the second batch.

Immortal Jiu and Mr. Shenyue seemed to cooperate rather harmoniously.

After sending out Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao, Immortal Jiu looked at Mr. Shenyue and said, "Mr. Shenyue, I heard you successfully persuaded Qin Tian to join the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect?"

Mr. Shenyue smiled, "Isn't it said that Immortal Jiu has no interest in worldly affairs? Ha, yet you know about this matter."

Immortal Jiu took a sip of wine, chuckling, "Not bad. Away from the Immortal Domain, you're even competing for talent for your sect. Hehe... But, the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shenyue frowned and said, "What? Immortal Jiu, do you look down on the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect? Although the Xuanyuan Sect doesn't compare to those Great Immortal Sects, at least it has some influence in the Immortal Domain..."

"That was once, wasn't it?"

Immortal Jiu looked at Mr. Shenyue, saying, "I really don't know what the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect has to offer now. By persuading Qin Tian to join, you're really harming him..."

"Hmph, Immortal Jiu, you know nothing, so don't talk nonsense. The Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is just in a temporary decline, but in the future, it will definitely regain its former glory."

Mr. Shenyue's face showed some displeasure, but he suppressed his dissatisfaction, looked up at the distant seascape, and said, "The reason I persuaded Qin Tian to join the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is because I see his potential. I believe he can be a key figure on the path to the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's rise."

"Give me a break..."

Immortal Jiu sighed deeply, "Do you think the Immortal Domain is like the Spiritual Domain? Hehe, in the Immortal Domain, who isn't a once-in-a-century cultivation master? There's always someone stronger. If Qin Tian goes to the Immortal Domain and can't join a major sect, it'll ruin him..."

"Let's leave it at this for now."

Mr. Shenyue was a bit impatient. The current state of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, at least how it was when he left, was indeed worrying.

He couldn't refute Immortal Jiu and could only halt this topic.

Immortal Jiu glanced at him, shook his head, and sighed in his heart, "It's a pity for that kid Qin Tian..."

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Underwater, Qin Tian and ten thousand soldiers moved rapidly towards Panlong Island within the enormous True Qi bubble formed by the Diving Spell.

Qin Tian, as well as the ten thousand soldiers behind him, were all incredibly curious about this Diving Spell bubble.

This bubble, quiet and transparent, of unknown size, surprisingly encompassed all ten thousand people.

Moreover, the bubble was elastic, directly brushing past fierce beasts and strange fish underwater, without a scratch.

"The experts of the Immortal Domain are truly formidable... No, I've heard that Mr. Shenyue and Immortal Jiu are not even considered top-tier in the Immortal Domain..."

Qin Tian slightly shook his head, becoming increasingly curious about the Immortal Domain.

He thought, "Could it be that any random person in the Immortal Domain is this formidable?"

About two hours later, Qin Tian and the first batch of troops finally arrived at the northwest coast of Panlong Island.

Slowly rising from beneath the water, Qin Tian was the first to burst out from below the surface.

Then, he ordered the soldiers following him, "Immediately secure the coastline within five kilometers. If any person appears, deal with them secretly, and under no circumstances let anyone discover us!"

The soldiers continued landing.

Luckily, they were landing near a secluded forest.

Panlong Island is a huge island, and in the southern sky, one can faintly see flying Dragon Beasts.

After landing, the soldiers quickly moved into the forest.

Qin Tian sent out wave after wave of scouts; he had to ensure total safety around them.

In less than half an hour after Qin Tian landed, the second and third batches of soldiers also landed one after another.

All eighty thousand soldiers had fully landed by nightfall.

At night, with a great sea breeze blowing, all eighty thousand quietly hid within the forest, beginning to eat and rest.

Everyone knew they had arrived on a remote island almost never visited before.

What awaited them was unpredictable and unknown.

Immortal Jiu and Mr. Shenyue were the last to land.

As they ate dinner, they observed the surrounding terrain.

Mr. Shenyue said, "Emperor Qin, I had previously studied the terrain of Panlong Island. From the information I gathered, the northwest of Panlong Island is all barren mountains and forests with few inhabitants."

"Panlong Island's major cities and troops are concentrated in the southeast direction."

"Even Panlong City is only a bit over a hundred kilometers from the coastline. Next, we should be sneak-attacking Panlong City, instead of advancing from northwest to southeast all the way, right?"

Mr. Shenyue's meaning was clear.

They had only eighty thousand men; advancing from the northwest all the way to Panlong City in the southeast was absolutely unrealistic.

"I know."

Qin Tian was actually already familiar with the topography and terrain of Panlong Island beforehand.

Choosing to land on the northwest was precisely to prevent his troops from engaging in combat immediately upon landing.

The southeast direction of Panlong Island was densely populated with cities.

If eighty thousand landed on the southeast coastline without being detected...unless everyone on the island was blind.

However, as Mr. Shenyue mentioned, landing from the northwest was indeed safer.

But selecting the next attack route had to be done with caution.

Moreover, it was almost impossible to advance straight to the outside of Panlong City in one go.

Qin Tian had thought about this issue before, and said to Mr. Shenyue, "Sir, my idea is to launch a blitzkrieg from the northwest towards the southeast to catch them off guard."

"My planned route is to first attack Longling City, then Longshi City, and finally Panlong City."

"Of course, I'm talking about the major cities on Panlong Island. There are also a dozen or so small cities in between. I think the small cities shouldn't pose much of a problem to capture."

"This is also the shortest route."

As Qin Tian spoke, he took out the map of Panlong Island he carried, spread it out, and began studying it with Mr. Shenyue and Duan Xiaodao.

Immortal Jiu, on the side, said:

"Is it really that complicated? With Mr. Shenyue and me in charge, shall we just go to Panlong Island and turn everything upside down? That Long Tianwu, although said to be a gifted cultivator and favored in the Spiritual Domain, surely can't contend with Mr. Shenyue and me, right?"
