Even as they faced death, they harbored a deep resentment, cursing the two people to a terrible end.
"Seriously, it makes me want to chop this guy up right now..."
Ye Li was anxious to go to the capital to see what was going on; his intuition told him that something bad was happening there.
From the moment he entered the area within twenty miles of the capital, he heard constant wails and whispers echoing in his ears.
Those people were praying, hoping to be freed from their suffering, and calling upon him to deliver them.
However, despite the overwhelming resentment that should have filled the sky, Ye Li did not see even the slightest trace of bloodthirsty energy.
"Everything, everything, must be related to the capital..."
He didn't know what the powerful emperor wanted to do, but he had a sword in his hand.
Carry your sword, charge in, and cut down any conspiracy or trickery with a single strike.
"Commander, a strange white mist suddenly appeared in the valley ahead. Our brothers who went in as scouts have not returned."
A soldier rode up to Ye Li on horseback; this was a member of the scout squad he had dispatched.
The Taiping army's route to the capital was not in good condition, and they happened to have to pass through this valley.
These kinds of places are the easiest to ambush, and taking a detour will take at least half a month longer.
Now, as expected, a problem has arisen. Ye Li had anticipated this when he saw the illusory figure with black energy soaring into the sky.
"I see."
He gestured for the man to go back first, then dismounted and turned to face the Taiping soldiers behind him.
"All soldiers, listen to my command: rest where you are, remain on guard, and continue your advance only after I return."
What to do with that white mist? Drawing his sword, Ye Li prepared to go in alone and exchange blows with the enemies inside.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit dangerous?"
"No, he thought he was hiding it well, but in my eyes, he was no different from a lamp in the dark."
The person inside must be a master to cause such a commotion.
There might be other ambushes, and if a fight breaks out, your presence will only hinder my performance.
"Yes, ma'am."
Liu Yong didn't press further; in their eyes, Ye Li was invincible.
What schemes, tricks, demons, and monsters could possibly withstand a few of Ye Li's sword strikes?
As Ye Li's white robes gradually disappeared into the white mist, Liu Yong turned around and gave orders to his soldiers.
"Rest where you are, but remember to stay vigilant and don't let these demon soldiers ambush you."
On the other side, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Ye Li walk over alone.
"Fortunately, the Taiping Heavenly King was too confident in himself, daring to enter alone?"
Everyone get ready, we're not just going to keep him trapped for one day, but for three days and three nights... *pfft*
At the same time Ye Li entered the illusion array, Li Zhi, as the array's core, felt unprecedented pressure.
Caught completely off guard, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
"I... am not seriously ill. Continue with the orders."
He tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, but his slightly trembling body and pale face proved that he was not in good condition.
"How could this be? This is impossible, it's impossible!"
The Heavenly King of Taiping was just one person, so why did I feel the pressure of tens of thousands of people entering the battle at the same time?
It's like when you're playing a game and you unleash an AOE skill on a single opponent, but suddenly the screen is filled with numbers.
He couldn't understand this kind of thing.
"It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter. He's already in here, he can't turn things around by himself."
There should be four more updates today, so stay tuned and let me give you more to read.
