Chapter 74: The day after the throne seizure, the man in silver came again...
The next day, the silver-clad man came again and casually threw a few magical treasures on the table. "See if there's anything you like?"
Li Youyang: ...
Seeing Li Youyang not moving, the silver-clad man frowned and said, "You don't like anything?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb my peace again?"
“I did, but I didn’t agree.”
Li Youyang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Just as he was about to take action, Xiao Jun and Xu Feng rushed in. "No wonder Palace Master Xi escaped unscathed during the previous encounter. It turns out he's already collaborating with the enemy."
The man in silver clothes curled his lips. These people were really powerful. It was worth it that he deliberately showed them in front of the person who was monitoring him.
"Palace Master Xi, what do you have to say?"
Li Youyang elegantly picked up the teacup and said, "If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext."
Xiao Jun said coldly: "Why, am I framing you again?!"
Li Youyang glanced at the man in silver and asked, "Are you colluding with them?"
The silver-clad man's face was filled with disdain. "They don't deserve it. I must have been accidentally discovered when I arrived. What's the point of following such a leader who can't distinguish right from wrong? Why don't you return to the Red Fire Clan with me? I'll introduce you to them."
Li Youyang gently put down the teacup: "I deliberately lured them here, that's the idea."
The man in silver clothes did not deny it and looked at Li Youyang seriously: "How is it?"
Li Youyang moved his fingertips lightly, and a killing array rushed towards the man in silver. The man in silver hurriedly formed a protective array but was still seriously injured.
Xiao Jun said coldly: "Xihe, don't think you can clear your suspicion by doing this..."
"Wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't hurt him to prove my innocence, I just simply didn't like him."
The man in silver clothes stood up in embarrassment and curled his lips. He should be good-looking, so why did he look so unpleasant?
Li Youyang continued, "Xiao Jun, I haven't pursued the matter before. Do you really think I'm a coward who can be bullied?"
Xu Feng said coldly: "Palace Master Xi, it was you who secretly met with the enemy in the middle of the night! Now you want to bite the leader of the alliance!"
"Catch and blame." Li Youyang's fingertips gently stroked the teacup. "Deputy Alliance Leader Xu really knows how to use words! But is there any need to blame and blame Xiao Jun for what he did?"
"The leader just made a mistake in his decision before, and later just wanted to smooth things over between you two. Do you still remember it?!"
As they were talking, the other palace masters also arrived:
"Alliance leader, I heard that Palace Master Xi was meeting with foreign enemies at night. Is it true? Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Yes, Palace Master Xi is definitely not that kind of person."
Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "The enemy is right there, there is nothing to misunderstand!"
Everyone looked at the man in silver, who smiled and said, "Hello everyone! Yes, it was Xihe who asked me to come here."
Li Youyang looked over with cold eyes, and the man in silver clothes quickly changed his words: "I came here on my own initiative. Xihe saved my life before, and I came to repay her."
Xu Feng sneered: "Did you hear that? Xihe saved the enemy, what else do you have to doubt?"
"This... Palace Master Xi, was it this foreign race that threatened you at the time? Did you have any difficulties?"
"Yes, Palace Master Xi, please tell me."
Li Youyang said coldly: "No."
The silver-clad man continued, "What's his level of cultivation? What's my level of cultivation? How could I possibly threaten him? You all really think highly of me. He saved me because he was attracted by my appearance and fell in love with me..."
"I only knew that foreigners were brutal, but I didn't know they could be so shameless." Bei Liyuan walked over.
"Originally, Xihe and I wanted to let some of these things go, but now that the Alliance Leader is pressing us, we are no longer willing to endure it! Everyone, since we are all gathered here today, I will explain one by one the dirty deeds done by our good Alliance Leader."
Xiao Jun said in a deep voice: "Beiliyuan!"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and smiled softly, "Don't be impatient. Let's talk about them one by one. Let me first talk about the relationship between our leader and Pang Tian. Although they are not Taoist companions, they have done everything that Taoist companions should do. That's why Pang Tian is willing to serve him. Not only Pang Tian, but also our Deputy Leader Xu bows down to the leader's majesty. Oh, and there's also the Palace Master of Tianquan Palace. In the past, some cultivators who joined the alliance occasionally left the alliance for no reason shortly after joining, but you haven't seen them. In fact, these people were all favored by the leader and dealt with after a night of love."
Xiao Jun's face turned pale: "Bei Liyuan! Stop slandering me."
"Don't worry. If I dare to say this, I must have proof. The leader's chaotic private life is a corruption of his personal morality, which has little impact on the overall situation. However, he should never collude with foreign races. In order to eliminate me and Xihe, he reached a cooperation with this silver-clad man in advance. In the future, he will lead the Heroic Alliance to surrender to the enemy, but he requires foreign cultivators to attack the Sky Palace with all their strength."
Xiao Jun: "You're talking nonsense!"
Bei Liyuan moved his fingertips lightly, and the soul-searching technique was applied to the man in silver clothes. Suddenly, the scene of Xiao Jun looking for him to trade appeared in the void.
The other palace masters were filled with shock:
"How is this possible! I can't believe the leader would do such a thing..."
Feng Nuo said coldly: "At this time, you still call him the leader, he doesn't deserve it!"
Xu Feng said coldly, "This man in silver is close to you. Who knows if this is a conspiracy set up by you?"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "That's easy, just search Alliance Leader Xiao's soul."
Xu Feng said angrily, "Leader, you can't search my soul just because you want to!"
"Why is Vice Alliance Leader Xu so nervous? Oh, I figured it out. He's probably worried that everyone will see you being so happy."
After saying this, Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened, and his sword finger moved quickly. A formation fell on Xu Feng, and then he and Xiao Jun appeared in the void...
The other leaders opened their eyes wide in shock:
"It's so... filthy!"
Xu Feng crushed the formation in an instant, his face turning ashen.
Xiao Jun suddenly smiled: "After going through so much trouble, I finally understand your purpose. Isn't this the position of alliance leader what you want?"
Bei Liyuan laughed. "The position of Alliance Leader concerns the survival of the cultivators of the Jiuzhou Continent, so it should naturally be held by the most capable. If the Alliance Leader is someone we can trust with our lives, we will naturally support him. But Alliance Leader, look at what you have done. You have killed innocent people for your own selfish desires, betrayed your allies, and made reckless decisions without considering the overall situation. How can you still have the nerve to hold the position of Alliance Leader?"
Xiao Jun sneered: "It sounds nice, but it's all for the sake of a high position!"
Yu Chen said, "I think what Beigong Master said is very true. Xiao Jun is selfish. If he were the leader, our Yingjie Alliance would not perish at the hands of the enemy, but would be destroyed at the hands of our own people. I propose that Xiao Jun be deposed as the leader."
Feng Nuo said solemnly: "I agree."
Xiao Jun said solemnly, "I founded the Heroic Alliance. It's not that easy to kick me out. Xihe, do you dare to fight me? If you win, I will give you the position of leader. If I win, you will take Bei Liyuan and get out of the Heroic Alliance."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Why not? The battle will be held tomorrow. Everyone else can challenge. The one who stands on the stage will be the leader of the Heroic Alliance."
…
The next day, on the martial arts arena, Xiao Jun said coldly, "Xihe, what do you think makes me the leader? Without my cultivation, they wouldn't obey me. You're really courting death. If you're willing to be my concubine now, I can spare your life."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Let's get started."
A fierce look flashed across Xiao Jun's eyes. "Since you're seeking death, you can't blame me. With one move, I'll make you regret your arrogance today."
Xiao Jun drew a sword seal with his finger, and in an instant the heavy sword energy filled the entire space, and everyone felt the fierce pressure.
"This is the realm of the gods! I didn't expect the leader to be a god!"
"This kind of pressure is definitely not from an ordinary God! I wonder if Palace Master Xi can win?"
The man in silver crossed his arms and raised the corner of his lips: "This Xiao Jun is quite something."
"Your Excellency, why don't you leave? Do you really want to die here?"
The silver-clad man smiled and said, "Brother Bei, are you going to burn your bridges after crossing them? With all due respect, no cultivator present here, besides Xihe, can rival me. Don't worry, I'll just watch the fun and won't cause any trouble. After all, I don't want to owe anyone a favor."
On the stage, two men attacked each other with swords in hand. With a loud bang, the sky turned upside down, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the entire space trembled as if it would return to chaos in the next moment.
"That's it!" someone exclaimed, "Oh no! Quickly fly your sword!"
As soon as the words fell, the ground cracked. A crack appeared on the arena where the two men had fought. Then there was a violent explosion. The stone pillars supporting the arena shattered instantly, and the arena crashed to the ground with a loud bang! A huge deep pit was created, and dust flew everywhere, and all the grass and trees disappeared!
When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone saw Xiao Jun kneeling in front of Li Youyang, no longer making any sound.
Li Youyang held the immortal sword in his hand and said coldly, "Anyone who wants to seize the position of leader can come on stage."
The man in silver looked at Li Youyang with fiery eyes. It would be a shame to leave such a charming man in this small world. He had to find a way to bring him into the Red Fire Clan.
After waiting for a while and receiving no challenge, Feng Nuo knelt first and said, "Greetings, Leader."
Seeing this, everyone knelt down.
The man in silver flew away on his sword.
Li Youyang said coldly, "Get up."
Everyone stood up, and Li Youyang continued, "The foreigners have left us with little time. I hope you will obey my orders completely from now on."
"Alliance leader, please speak."
Li Youyang continued, "The invading foreign tribes are only a small part of the population. Their true leader and main force have not yet arrived. Therefore, no matter how many cities we capture, we may not be able to defend them in the end. The most urgent task is to improve our own strength rather than waste it. Tianquan and Tianji Palaces are best at conserving their strength, so you will be responsible for contacting other cultivators to come to the Heroic Alliance. Feng Nuo, the cultivators in your palace are best at magic. I have a manual of magic here. I must have all the disciples in the palace learn it within a month. You will become the strongest shield of the Heroic Alliance."
Feng Nuo stepped forward and took it.
Li Youyang also gave each of the other palace gates a copy of the killing formation: "You also need to learn it within a month."
For the next month, almost all the cultivators were in seclusion and practicing hard. Yu Chen and Ling Ye spent most of their time strengthening the protective formation, while Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan went out to look for the mysterious space. Although they did not find it successfully, they did not return empty-handed.
A month later, the overall strength of the League of Heroes had made a qualitative leap. Many people could not help but advise Li Youyang to counterattack, but Li Youyang rejected them all and just asked them to continue to concentrate on their practice. Many people complained about this and felt that Li Youyang was too cautious.
Two months later, in the early morning, the sky suddenly turned blood red, and everyone felt a powerful pressure that was far superior to the last foreign invasion.
Li Youyang sat in front of the window, stroking the teacup with his fingertips, his eyes clear and solemn. He finally came.
