Chapter 224: Take action!

“If my guess is correct, a large number of people will believe in Bei’e and become Bei’e’s pawns.” Qian Dadao said.

Sure enough, after paying a small price to behead the four-clawed fire python, a large number of independent cultivators became obedient. Although they could not reach the level of strict enforcement of orders, it was not bad either.

At this point, Shi Yan looked at Qian Da with a higher opinion, "Brother Qian, you seem to be very good at this kind of thing?"

Qian Er beside him smiled proudly, "Brother Xu, I'm not bragging to you. Although our independent regiment is not big, we have never been defeated so far. We can be called victorious. This is all thanks to my eldest brother's eyes that can see through the situation and his wisdom."

Qian Da laughed, patted Qian Er on the head, and said to Shi Yan, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I just know a little bit about strategy. Compared with those strategists, I am nothing."

"Brother Qian is too modest. Just based on the wisdom that Brother Qian just revealed, Xu Yan is worthy of admiration." Shi Yan said.

Qian Da's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and he repeated the same old tune, "Since Brother Xu calls me Big Brother, I won't hide it from you. I believe you are very clear about my little thoughts. I wonder if you have thought it through? Are you willing to help your brother?"

Qian Da's frank and straightforward character is very much to Shi Yan's liking. What Shi Yan hates most are those people who hide several meanings in one sentence. Shi Yan's evaluation of those people is that they are insidious, scheming, and have bad intentions.

Qian Da spoke so frankly and candidly about his little thoughts, which made Shi Yan feel more favorable towards him.

He hesitated for a moment, pretending to be in a dilemma, then looked at Qian Da with a helpless smile and said, "Brother Qian, I thank you for your kindness, but I have always longed for freedom and I don't like being bound, so I went against your kindness. I hope you will forgive me."

Having said this, how could Qian Da not see Shi Yan's determination? He could only sigh, "Well, we each have our own aspirations, but it is fate that we meet today. If you need help in the future, you can come to me. I, Qian Da, will never hesitate to help you!"

Shi Yan nodded. At this moment, the team suddenly split in the middle, leaving a path, and the Bei'e Guards walked by carrying a giant python with four claws that was ten meters long.

"Look, that's the four-clawed fire python."

"So this is the four-clawed fire python. It's much more ferocious than the four-clawed python."

"Yes, it is worthy of being Bei'e. It paid a very little price to kill this four-clawed fire python. Wow, a four-clawed fire python, how many good things are there in it."

Qian Dayi was also jealous, "If we can catch one too, our trip to the Dragon Cave won't be in vain."

The four-clawed fire python was full of good stuff, and was a treasure in the eyes of alchemists and forgers. All the casual cultivators had red eyes as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Compared with them, Shi Yan was much more calm. The reason was simple. When he met Zang Nei in the crystal world, he gave him a treasure. What good things were there in it? It was like holding a mountain of gold. How could you be jealous of a pile of gold sand?

However, Shi Yan's expression became unfathomable in the eyes of others. Qian Da suspected that Xu Yan was the son of a powerful faction, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not think of any powerful person with the surname Xu in the northern border. Of course, Qian Da did not rule out that he was using a pseudonym, but if he really used a pseudonym, then his identity and status might be more profound than he had just guessed. So far, Qian Da decided to build a good relationship with him.

No one else knew what Qian Da was thinking, and of course no one present would consider Qian Da's thoughts, after all, there were many independent regiments here.

However, Shi Yan's heroic performance just now touched a nerve in people's brains. He was able to resist the madly charging shield-horned rhinoceros with his bare hands and still gain the upper hand. What a powerful force!

When the guard who beheaded the shield-horned rhinoceros told Bai Yucheng what he saw, Bai Yucheng's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that there would be such a brave warrior among these people. If they surrender to me, wouldn't it make me more important in Bei'e?"

"Quick, ask him to come up."

Although Bai Yucheng is the biological son of the head of Bei'e, Bei'e is not a family-based sect and does not advocate hereditary succession. In other words, whoever has the strongest ability can become the head, so Bai Yucheng's position is not that secure.

Every bit of strength may be able to help him capture Bei'e.

Whether it is Zimu Liuhua Territory, Northern Territory or Northern Territory, the battle for the head has always been an event that never stops. Every family has its own problems, and the same is true for a sect.

In just a few years, Shi Yan has seen countless fights between the heads of the clans and the heads of the families. No matter who wins or loses, Shi Yan is always just a spectator. In his eyes, this is just to increase his experience, even though many fights have no technical content at all, and the same few moves are used over and over again. Shi Yan's goal is to become the head of the Shi family. Only by completely suppressing the Shi family, everything that happened back then may be revealed. This is his oath.

When Bai Yucheng saw that this person was the one he had almost rejected just now, he was extremely surprised and felt lucky that Fairy Mo stopped him, otherwise this kind of person would have slipped away from his sight.

But when he thought of Mo Luoning's eyes just now, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he hid it very well.

When he couldn't see through Shi Yan's cultivation, Bai Yucheng was more convinced that Shi Yan was a casual cultivator with a high level of cultivation. He might not have the golden elixir, but he was definitely not far from the golden elixir. Just look at the Zimu Liuhua Domain and you will know that there are only a handful of cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation in the Zimu Liuhua Domain. Although the Northern Territory is slightly stronger than the Zimu Liuhua Domain, the number of cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Condensation is not much different. Why is he sure that Shi Yan is at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation? In fact, it is very simple. The guard who just reported has already said that if it was him, he would not be able to withstand the crazy attack of the shield-horned rhinoceros, and that member is a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

Bai Yucheng suggested that Shi Yan could stay in the center of the team. After all, there were only cannon fodders out front who were willing to die. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent if someone like Shi Yan was placed in the front?

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Bai, but I still think it's more appropriate for me to stay in the front." Shi Yan didn't give Bai Yucheng any face at all, making Bai Yucheng's face turn blue and red, which was very weird.

Then, Shi Yan said again: "Since there is nothing else, I will leave first." After that, he turned and left.

Bai Yucheng was so angry. What was his status? He was the young master of Bei'e Mountain. He should give face to the Buddha instead of the monk. Didn't this guy know how to give face to Bei'e? He was still a fool? But he didn't expect Xu Yan to be so disrespectful. He secretly hated in his heart, "Well, since you don't give me face, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Little did he know that if Bai Yucheng was not the young master of Bei'e but someone else, Shi Yan's attitude would be different. He had met too many "young masters" over the years, and Shi Yan had long been fed up with these so-called young masters, who were incompetent but still acted arrogantly and were annoying.

Mo Luoning laughed secretly. She felt so happy after being humiliated by Bai Yucheng. All the depression she had felt in the past few days disappeared.

He couldn't help but look at Shi Yan for a second longer. Suddenly, she fixed her eyes and found a bird flying over not far away. The bird was not strange, but just because others couldn't see the specialness of the bird didn't mean that Mo Luo Ning couldn't see it. She saw at a glance that the bird was a puppet! And it was exactly the same as the bird that day, and it was made by her brother!

"Brother!" Mo Luoning looked at the bird with concern.

Unexpectedly, the bird flew over her head and flew straight towards Shi Yan's direction.

"Could it be..."

Sure enough, the bird flew to Shi Yan's side and finally disappeared.

Mo Luoning was startled, recalling the message his brother sent to him that day, saying that he was working for someone and that this person had the ability to restore the Mo family. Mo Luoning covered his mouth to prevent himself from shouting, "Could it be that the person who can help my Mo family is him!"

Looking at Mo Luoning's reluctant eyes, Bai Yucheng really hated Shi Yan. His brows were furrowed and gloomy.

Shi Yan didn't know what Bai Yucheng and Mo Luoning were thinking. He was now looking at the news from Mo Chou.

After reading it, Shi Yan smiled and said, "It seems that this trip to the Dragon Cave in Bei'e is indeed not simple! However, just don't delay my good things, otherwise I will definitely kill you!"

Knowing Bai Yucheng's purpose, Shi Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Long Er and asked, "Long Er, do you know where the insect mother is?"

Long Er nodded and then shook his head.

"Hmm? What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

Long Er bit his lip and whispered, "I really want to know, but I'm not sure...so I'm not willing to make a promise."

"Not sure?" Shi Yan frowned slightly. He didn't know that it would be difficult to find the position of the wood. He looked at the progress of the team. If nothing unexpected happened, it would appear at the original ramp in about an hour. It was from that ramp that the dragon whisker worms began to appear. If he was unlucky and they found the mother worm, he would be in trouble. He was not sure about the power of the world-destroying puppet mentioned in Mo Chou's letter. Although he was very clear that Mo Tianbo's ability was limited and he could not create a real world-destroying puppet, even a medium-level city-destroying puppet would be very difficult to deal with, but Shi Yan did not dare to take risks. If the mother worm was killed, wouldn't all his efforts for so long be in vain?

"No matter what!" Shi Yan made up his mind, picked up Long Er and whispered in her ear, "No matter if it's true or not, take me there first!"

Long Er finally nodded, "Yeah!"

At the same time, Canglan received the message from Shi Yan.

"Shi Yan has started to take action!" Cang Lan said.

Ye Yier and Mo Zixuan were shocked, looked at each other, and smiled slightly, "Okay, let's do it!"

Behind them, five members of the Mountain Spirit Team and twenty members of the Rock Team were already ready and were just waiting for the order!
