Chapter 621: Raising an Army to Punish
Chang Yujian's eyes suddenly darkened.
The first reaction was that Wenren Tinghai wanted to frame someone in order to get a reason to attack the Shaoling Army.
"Miss Qing is in charge of the formation."
So ordered.
Chang Yujian walked to the inner gate of the garrison and, through the veil of light from the formation, met Wenren Tinghai's gaze, the feminine and sinister face outside. "The way our Demon Nation operates has always been criticized by the world, but fortunately, we never deny that our actions are demonic, not saintly. Wenren Tanhua serves the Crown Prince, and to deal with Li Weiyi is understandable to everyone, knowing that you are carrying out orders from above."
"But, as long as Li Weiyi is on guard duty, if you dare to touch him, you will be an enemy of the Shaoling Army and even the entire world."
"Stand guard to stop grudges, and go out to discuss right and wrong."
"We are currently on guard duty in the ancient nation of Suiyuexu, monitoring unusual activity in the Netherworld of the Dead. Do you think you can attack my Sentry Spirit Army outpost? If anyone in the court reports this, you're dead!"
There are naturally no outposts in the ancient country of Suiyuexu, and they are not here to guard them.
However, given the current unusual behavior of the Taiyin Cult and the Netherworld of the Dead, the interpretation rests with the Dongxu Camp. Given Li Weiyi's achievements in slaying numerous deceased marquises and Taiyin envoys, the Dongxu Camp also has much to say.
Then, Chang Yujian continued, "As a disciple of the Emperor, your methods don't have to be aboveboard, but please be tactful. Let others admire your wisdom and strategy. Who would believe such a lowly frame-up? It truly makes Chang despise you."
Chang Yujian certainly didn't believe it.
The ten great warriors of the border army were chosen through military competitions, and each of them was skilled in battle. With Li Weiyi's current level of cultivation, could he kill them?
What's more, Wenren Tinghai was there, so Chang Yujian was even more unconvinced.
The most likely scenario was that during the battle for the Millennium Elixir, two powerful border troops were killed by the dead or demons. Wenren Tinghai exploited this situation, using the bodies as a pretext to attack Li Weiyi.
Wenren Tinghai's eyebrows bulged into his nose, and he really wanted to kill Chang Yujian on the spot: "You are really good at confusing right and wrong! The border soldiers died in battle, which is a national humiliation. Don't forget that you will not be guarding forever, you are going back to the Demon Kingdom."
"The border troops died in battle, and the responsibility lies with the commander. If you are not greedy, how could they die in battle?" Chang Yujian said.
Xue Sanguan and three other powerful border troops rushed to the outside of the Shaoling Army’s base.
Xue Sanguan said: "Chang Yujian, if you are still a martial artist from the Demonic Nation, then open the formation and hand over the murderer. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Would you mind giving it a try?"
Chang Yujian was not afraid of them at all.
As long as he is right, he is not afraid even if the lawsuit is brought to Xiaoyaojing.
Wenren Tinghai stopped Xue Sanguan from attacking and said with a forced smile, "Li Weiyi, you were able to kill the six-colored peacock and break through the border army's battle formation. I think your cultivation has reached the third level. With such strength, why don't you dare to even say a word in reply?"
Chang Yujian frowned slightly, feeling that Wenren Tinghai didn't seem to be flattering her.
Li Weiyi stood up tiredly and walked over: "What advice do you have for me, Mr. Tanhua?"
Wenren Tinghai put one hand behind his back, his long hair flowing. "You were able to snatch the thousand-year-old elixir from the Demon Kingdom and kill two powerful border troops. This is your ability. As long as you fight me and defeat me, the Demon Kingdom will not pursue this matter. Otherwise, even if you are a member of the Sentinel Spirit Army, the Demon Kingdom will avenge this. Killing someone means paying with your life, which is the greatest law in the world."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "As expected of a disciple of the Emperor, you are very calculating. If I lose this fight, I will surely die. Even if I win, I will have to face the siege of the Demon Nation's masters. Because, as long as I fight, it means I admit the stigma of stealing the essence medicine and hand over the truth to you."
"If you take the truth too seriously, treating it as your only weapon, it's worthless. But if you put it on the table with other chips, it becomes more important than anything else."
Wenren Tinghai said bluntly: "After all this talk, you still don't dare?"
"I dare you!"
Li Weiyi raised his hand, signaling the three Sentinel Soldiers who were trying to stop him not to worry, and then he said, "Wait for me for a year and a half! After a year and a half, we'll decide who's better, and whether to live or die. Do you dare?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
The people of the Demon Kingdom left the Sentinel Army’s base.
Wenren Tinghai walked at the front of the team, his eyes focused. He had a clear understanding of the strength of the Six-Colored Peacock, the Border Army Battle Formation, Luo Yinji, and the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis.
If it were him, he might not be able to escape back to the base in such a huge situation.
Now he has great confidence in fighting with Li Weiyi.
If he waited a year and a half, Li Weiyi would have refined at least three balls of Dragon Soul Source Light and raised his cultivation to the middle stage of the third realm. By then, what chance would he have of winning?
No matter how arrogant Wen Ren Ting Hai was, no matter how much nobility he possessed, he had to admit that Li Weiyi was indeed unparalleled. Only by possessing a realm advantage could he be defeated.
For the emperor's disciples, it is very painful to admit this.
Xue Sanguan saw Wenren Tinghai's worry and said, "This boy is eccentric and has many tricks up his sleeve. He was able to escape from the sacrificial pit and not only survived, but his cultivation has greatly improved. Now that we are in the right, we should summon all the experts from the border troops, bring heavy weapons, and suppress him. We absolutely cannot give him another year and a half to cultivate."
"Beat it in?"
Wenren Tinghai stopped and looked at him: "A grand attack on the human outpost? Once the scales are on, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated. You are handing the knife to the Chang family."
Xue Sanguan said, "If he hides in the Sentinel Army's base, we won't be able to do anything to him. Wouldn't that just encourage his arrogance?"
Wenren Tinghai gently shook his hand. "First, he's far from invincible. Second, his hiding in the Sentinel Army's base actually does more harm than good."
"Just because we don't dare to attack doesn't mean others won't dare to attack."
Xue Sanguan said, "The Netherworld of the Dead? That's right. The Sentinel Army's base is a sitting duck that can't be moved. The Taiyin Cult is most worried about Li Weiyi and his men hiding in the dark, becoming invisible. Now the three of us are effectively restraining each other."
Wenren Tinghai laughed and said, "Calculating the time, the Death Spirit Army will soon have thoroughly explored the Netherworld of Mingling Mountain and could march on Chuncheng at any time. If I were Chu Yutian, I would definitely send an army of top experts to enter the city without anyone noticing and storm the Sentinel Army's base with lightning speed. With the news of today's battle reaching Mingling Mountain, Chu Yutian would be a complete idiot if he didn't launch a decisive attack to kill Li Weiyi."
"Haha, doesn't that mean we just need to watch the show?" Xue Sanguan said.
Wenren Tinghai did not respond.
His mission is to capture Li Weiyi alive and snatch him from Chu Yutian, unless he asks Gu Zhen to come to his rescue. What does it take to impress Gu Zhen?
A powerful frontier soldier with a knife-like beard on his chin stepped out and said, "Wenren Tanhua, I am Huo Tingye. I have reached the peak of the third realm for twenty-five years. I came to the ancient country of Suiyuexu and practiced hard for another four years. If I am willing, I can break the fourth shackle in the near future."
"Kong Fang and Qiu Hai were my comrades who shared life and death with me. He died tragically at the hands of Li Weiyi. I will avenge him."
"Once you reach the fourth realm, you will lose more than twenty years of your lifespan when you leave. I ask for nothing more than the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Wenren Tinghai knew that this powerful frontier soldier was gambling his future, and he was immediately overjoyed. He patted him on the shoulder with a warm and friendly gesture: "See, everyone? This is a true man of loyalty and integrity. Tingye, don't worry. Whether or not we can capture Li Weiyi, Tinghai will report this to the Crown Prince."
"I'll give you a heads up. My Wenren family possesses quite a few secret manuals of martial arts and positions in the military. Everyone present here can testify that the Demonic Kingdom will never mistreat anyone who dares to fight."
Huo Tingye hurriedly thanked him.
"Give Kong Fang and Qiu Hai's boundary bags to Ting Ye. He is more qualified than anyone else to inherit this wealth."
…
The headquarters of the Shaoling Army.
While Li Weiyi was recovering his magic energy, he took stock of his gains.
The main sources of damage came from the Six-Colored Peacock, Sheng Wulian, and a third-level Luan clan demon cultivator he had killed with his sword. He had no time to collect the realm bags of the remaining masters he had killed.
There is no need to explain the value of the demon pill and the elixir of immortality.
Thousand-year-old elixirs, soul essences, spirit crystals and other items were found in the magic tools and the world bag, which are also priceless.
There were actually two newly picked five thousand year old medicinal herbs in the six-colored peacock's bag. Li Weiyi immediately handed them over to Sifeng and Wufeng.
The two demons possessed a total of fourteen low-grade spirit crystals, making them even richer than Li Weiyi. Clearly, the demon race must have had a special opportunity in the ancient country of Suiyuexu.
After his magic energy recovered to about 80%, Li Weiyi walked out of the barracks.
As expected, Chang Yujian, Qing Zijin and Liu Ye were all waiting outside, and the three of them looked at him strangely.
Li Weiyi released his perception and explored the surroundings of the base.
Suddenly, there were sounds of footsteps and breaking wind in the forest.
The martial artists responsible for monitoring the Sentinel Army's base were all fleeing. It could be said that Li Weiyi's powerful display of power and aura was enough to scare off the enemy.
Li Weiyi took out the Purple Thunder Seal again to activate its original power.
This time, even the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Hou, who was hiding in the dark, immediately fled. The Wanzi Weapon fell, and it was not so easy to catch it, nor was it easy to avoid it.
"Don't look at me like that. I was the one who killed those two border soldiers from the Demon Kingdom, but I was the victim. I was surrounded by them and Luo Yinji. I couldn't just surrender, could I?" Li Weiyi said with a smile.
Chang Yujian said, "They actually openly cooperated with the Taiyin Cult? To be able to force them to this point, what is your current strength?"
"You killed the six-colored peacock?" Liu Ye asked.
Li Weiyi unleashed the massive carcass of the six-colored peacock, filling the entire courtyard like a dazzling, six-colored hill. "Captain, while it's fresh, cut up a hundred pounds, wash it, and roast it. We'll eat and chat while we do it. Peacock meat, having awakened the bloodline of an ancient immortal beast, is incredibly delicious. Brother Chang, you must have a bar?"
Qing Zijin walked to the place where the six-colored peacock was blown apart by the Purple Sky Thunder Seal, stared at it carefully, and was filled with disbelief.
"Let me do it!"
Liu Ye took out the magic knife and went forward to cut the meat.
…
In the underworld, after several years of cultivation, all he ate were Blood Valley Pills or picked precious medicinal fruits.
After the peacock meat is roasted, it does not need any seasoning and the meat is fragrant. Everyone eats it with great relish and enjoys it, and there is also the fine wine collected by Chang Yujian.
After listening to Li Weiyi's story, Chang Yujian looked solemn: "We are in big trouble!"
Qing Zijin wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "That's right! Everyone knows that Shaoyangsi possesses the Dragon Soul Source Light, which can allow you to advance from the initial stage to the peak of your cultivation within a few years. You are already so strong, how could they possibly give you another chance to cultivate to the peak?"
"How about, while the observers are scared away, we sneak away, leave Chun City, and go to another underworld to practice?" Liu Ye suggested.
Li Weiyi said, "Hiding in the shadows is imperative. But what do you two think about leaving Chuncheng?"
