During this period,

The entire Kingdom Li was bustling with activity, with the situation in Jiang City and the Li family's fiefdom being unpredictable and treacherous.

Just the day before,

The soldiers of the Zhao, Wei, and Han families were still frantically capturing the fleeing members of the Li family. Anyone caught was bound tightly, with no chance of escape.

But in the blink of an eye,

The ropes binding the Li family members were untied. Although their freedom was still restricted, they were at least able to move around within their own fiefdom and residence.

No one knew why.

But they knew that they were most likely saved.

This feeling of surviving a disaster made them all breathe a long sigh of relief.

Although the Li family was the fourth largest family in Kingdom Li in name,

This time, the Wei and Han families did not put in much effort, and it was only the Zhao family that truly sought to annihilate them.

Yet, they still had no power to resist.

After all, the Li family rose to power through marital alliances.

With the support of their in-law families, they indeed had a considerable status and power.

But those in-law families would only ensure their basic safety and would never allow them to grow too powerful.

Under such circumstances,

It was impossible for the Li family to grow on their own.

Because the cultivation talent of the Li family men was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

The talent of the Li family women was much stronger, but after giving birth to their first child, their cultivation would significantly decline. If they remained virgins to serve as combat units, it would mean losing a large number of allies through marriage, something those in-laws would never allow.

Therefore,

Almost all of the Li family's internal experts came from sons-in-law and the offspring born from the sons-in-law and Li family women.

Although this also resulted in a large number of experts, compared to those families with inherently strong bloodlines, it was not enough.

The Li family had everything except absolute martial power.

So, with the Wei and Han families unwilling to help, they had no power to resist against the Zhao family.

The feeling of despair lasted only one day,

But it was enough to bring many to the verge of emotional collapse.

Fortunately,

The skies cleared once again.

Night.

At the Li residence.

"Uncle Bai, I toast to you!"

An old man with white hair, smiling from ear to ear, raised his wine cup to Bai Jie.

He was Li Gui, the great elder of the Li family. His status in the family had always been high, and now with Li Rui's death, he was the undisputed spokesperson.

As their cups clinked, Li Gui lowered the rim of his cup slightly.

Bai Jie noticed his subtle gesture but did not react, accepting it calmly and contentedly, drinking the fine wine in one gulp.

Li Gui sighed softly, "Our Li family's escape from death this time is truly thanks to you, Uncle Bai!"

"Of course!"

Bai Jie was not modest at all. Although he was smiling, the arrogance in his eyes made him seem somewhat distant.

But after thinking for a moment, he added, "However, we still have to rely on His Majesty of Kingdom Qian. As his subject, I merely assisted!"

Li Gui quickly said, "His Majesty is wise and martial, able to secure victory from a thousand miles away. I truly admire him!"

Those dining at the same table were all influential figures of the Li family.

Hearing Li Gui's flattery, they hurriedly echoed in agreement.

"His Majesty is wise and martial!"

"His Majesty is truly a sage king for the ages!"

"Among all the lords, who can compare to His Majesty?"

A series of sycophantic praises.

Regardless of whether Ying Yue could hear them,

They kept calling out without restraint.

Bai Jie glanced at everyone with contempt and disdain in his eyes. He had heard that the men of the Li family were all weaklings, only good at selling off their female relatives and flattering others.

Seeing it today,

It was indeed the case!

Even this great elder, in the face of crisis, showed a servile and flattering demeanor.

This family truly had nothing commendable... apart from reproduction.

Li Gui, a little flushed from drinking, asked warmly, "Uncle Bai, if I may be so bold to ask, how exactly did His Majesty of Kingdom Qian manage to rescue us?"

Hearing this question,

All the Li family members present turned their curious gazes.

The Li family had long been secretly communicating with Kingdom Qian, originally a covert operation, but due to a series of events, it became widely known.

Although Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li were nominally allies, everyone knew that these two royal families, sharing the same ancestry, were secretly wary of each other.

Even if the three families divided Kingdom Li, with the Wei and Han families forming a powerful alliance with other Ji surname states,

Kingdom Qian would still be a danger that Kingdom Li could not ignore.

Allowing the Li family into Kingdom Qian,

Was like letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Even if only the Li family men were released, it would take at most two generations for them to become a dominant force in Kingdom Qian.

After all, Kingdom Li had more geniuses than other lord states, largely due to the Li family.

So,

What price was paid to persuade King Li to agree to let the Li family into Kingdom Qian?

Bai Jie narrowed his eyes, "Elder Li, don't you think you're asking too much?"

"This…"

Li Gui's face turned somewhat embarrassed, and he quickly said with a smile, "I've spoken too much, I won't ask!"

Bai Jie sipped his wine to himself.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to answer.

After all, the matter of selling out his own clan was indeed somewhat disgraceful.

And he truly did not know what price Ying Wuji had used to persuade Zhao Ji.

According to Ying Yue, the secrets Ying Wuji held were so numerous that even his own father could not fully grasp them.

But no matter what,

He should have won.

Although the victory was not substantial,

The result was good.

The deal was struck.

The goal was achieved.

Even ten concubines were secured.

Li Gui fell silent for a while, then asked, "Uncle Bai, will that distinguished guest you mentioned come today?"

Distinguished guest?Bai Jie invited the distinguished guests, naturally Ying Wuji and the prince couple.

Today, he suffered so much humiliation at the Marquis's Mansion.

Naturally, he wanted to get it all back.

But it seems that they won't come today, judging by the weather.

Disappointing!

He waved his hand, "They probably won't come! Elder Li, the former head of your Li family promised me that as long as I can help the Li family out of trouble, I can choose ten Li family girls as my concubines."

Li Gui hurriedly said, "I know about this matter. Nephew Bai is righteous. How can our Li family go back on our word? Guards!"

"Here!"

Several men from the Li family rushed out of the hall.

Li Gui seemed to regain the imposing manner of the elder, and his tone was unquestionable, "Summon all the unmarried girls from our Li family for Nephew Bai to choose from!"

Since only the men of the Li family were present at the ceremony, these female relatives were of no significance.

Never mind sending ten, even if he sent a hundred, it would be no problem.

He was afraid that Bai Jie would not be satisfied, so he quickly explained, "Nephew Bai, although most of the population of our Li family is in the fief, those with outstanding looks and talents will be gathered in Jiangcheng for convenient marriage. All those who can appear here are top-notch girls for you to choose from."

"Good! Elder Li has thought of everything."

Bai Jie's tone was somewhat mocking, but he was quite satisfied with the explanation.

To be honest, he had prosopagnosia.

He had no concept of beauty in his mind.

But the girls of the Li family represented outstanding descendants.

When he left, his father had told him that although he had caused the White family to be imprisoned, it did not mean that he had no feelings for the White family.

If possible, he must bring back several girls from the Li family.

The bloodline of the White family originated from the Celestial Human race, and it was the condensation of the entire human race's fortune. Although it had declined, it was still superior to ordinary nobles, comparable to the royal family of the Qian Kingdom. It was not affected by the size of the fiefdom and national power.

It was the prime fire seed left behind by the first distribution of the family's fortune.

The bloodline of the Li family was the beneficiary of the new generation of bloodline rules after the Yan and Huang era. This kind of bloodline amplifier might revive the declining Celestial Human race bloodline of the White family.

The old White family would eventually disappear into the annals of history.

The new White family created by the father and son would definitely soar with the power of the Qian Kingdom.

Especially when the female relatives of the Li family did not enter the Qian Kingdom, when the Li family's female line was cut off, the new White family was likely to become the largest family in the Qian Kingdom, second only to the royal family, and there was no possibility of failure as long as they were loyal to the King of Qian.

That was why he proposed the condition of choosing ten concubines.

Was he lecherous?

Obviously not!

But when he saw the girls of the Li family arriving one by one, the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly.

Even he, who had prosopagnosia, could not find any flaws in the appearance of the Li family's girls.

They were so beautiful.

In just a short moment, all the unmarried girls of the Li family in Jiangcheng had been brought over.

They stood neatly in the courtyard.

Each of them had delicate makeup, obviously done for Bai Jie's arrival.

However, their eyes were more haggard than before. They were not only frightened by the recent changes, but also lacked a sense of security knowing that they would soon be separated from the men of their family.

"This is outrageous!"

Li Gui was quite dissatisfied with this phenomenon, but the atmosphere in the family was low, and he couldn't force anything.

Bai Jie waved his hand, "No need to blame them. I like their pitiful appearance."

Li Gui: "..."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately clapped his hands.

Upon hearing his instructions, a group of men from the Li family emerged and hung a wooden sign around the neck of each Li family girl.

The signs listed the name, age, cultivation level, and talents of each girl.

They were like goods displayed on a shelf.

Most of them felt a little uncomfortable. Although they were essentially goods, and most of them had accepted their fate, when they saw the elders marrying, even if they were goods, they would sit together and chat, get along with each other, and develop feelings in private, eventually getting married with the blessings of their families.

It was the first time they had been treated so blatantly as commodities.

But after a long period of domestication, coupled with the recent ordeal, they dared not have any thoughts of resistance.

Bai Jie looked at their evasive eyes with disdain and satisfaction.

These girls from the Li family were indeed all worthless. None of them were worthy of him.

But as tools for venting and reproduction, they should all be qualified.

No wonder the talents of various countries wanted a wife or concubine from the Li family.

Bai Jie counted and found that there were more than two hundred girls in the courtyard.

He couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Elder Li, I won't be polite then!"

Li Gui smiled, "Nephew Bai, please!"

Bai Jie immediately strode forward and casually pinched a girl's chin.

Her delicate features and beautiful eyes.

Even with prosopagnosia, he found her attractive.

He opened her mouth, and her vermilion lips and tender tongue, as well as her pearly white teeth, were like white jade.

Unfortunately, when he looked at the sign.

Fourth-grade Spirit Embryo.

Trash!

Bai Jie immediately lost interest and walked towards the next girl.

For a moment, he even felt the pleasure of a king choosing a concubine.

But just as he finally found a girl who met all his criteria.

A voice suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard.

"The Marquis has arrived!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ying Wuji striding in with a woman.

Bai Jie's brow furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed, and a smug smile appeared on his lips, "You're here?"

Ying Wuji nodded, "Yes! I'm here!"

"I should have come earlier!"

"When I come has nothing to do with you!"Ying Wuji cursed, "This person is really trying to act all high and mighty."

Bai Jie smiled faintly, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Wuji's cousin. If it weren't for his mediation, I'm afraid King Li wouldn't have agreed to my request."

As he spoke, he patted the back of a woman from the Li family, "You can come with me and sit over there!"

His expression was arrogant, as if the woman should feel honored to be chosen by him.

The woman looked somewhat frightened, but could only lower her head and silently walk towards the hall.

However, just as she took a few steps, she was stopped by a figure.

It was the person who had been following Ying Wuji.

The woman exclaimed, "Sister Caitan!?"

She had been too nervous just now and hadn't realized that this person was actually someone she knew.

Li Caitan's face was stern as she sternly said, "Go back!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gritted her teeth and followed Li Caitan's instructions.

Bai Jie's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, "Wuji cousin, what do you mean by this?"

Ying Wuji raised an eyebrow at him, "What do I mean? We've already agreed that the men of the Li family belong to the Qi, while the women are still true members of the Li Kingdom. How come the women of our kingdom have become your backyard?"

Bai Jie furrowed his brow, "But your King Li has already made a blood oath..."

Ying Wuji waved his hand to interrupt, "The king only agreed to allow the Li family to fulfill their promise and let you choose ten women. But the Li family currently has no women, so these women are no longer part of the Li family and are naturally not for you to choose! But you don't have to worry, the king is merciful and cannot bear to see the old ministers of the Great Li being untrustworthy. So, he specifically selected ten women from the Li family's fief and sent them back to the Li family. No matter how you choose, it's just these ten."

With that, he clapped his hands.

Soon, a eunuch arrived with a pair of women.

Seeing these women from the Li family, Bai Jie's face turned green.

Although he had prosopagnosia, he could still tell the difference between good and bad!

These women, although they were considered average among the commoners, were at least of intermediate level. But compared to the outstanding women in the courtyard, it was an insult to call them average.

What's more, when these average women saw him, they all showed signs of desire.

Bai Jie's face turned somewhat ferocious, "Don't push your luck too far!"

Ying Wuji sneered, "We are all acting within the rules. The king has not violated the blood oath. If you're not happy, you can unilaterally breach the contract."

Bai Jie: "..."

Breach the contract?

What kind of nonsense is that!

This was someone else's territory, where did he have the right to breach the contract?

But the fat meat was about to slip away from his grasp. If he could endure a little in terms of appearance, as long as he was ruthless enough, it wouldn't affect the quantity of his descendants. The key was that their aptitude was several levels lower, which would affect the quality of their descendants!

Ying Wuji waved his hand, "Take them away!"

Li Caitan nodded and gestured to the Li family women, and they quickly gathered behind Li Caitan. Although the Li family had been saved by Bai Jie, it was only for the men of the Li family. The women still had to rely on the survival of the Li Kingdom. In comparison, they certainly couldn't listen to Bai Jie.

Li Caitan's eyes were full of hostility as she said, "Do you enjoy wearing this dog tag? Take it off!"

As soon as she finished speaking, "Smack!"

A wooden sign shattered into pieces.

Following that, the sound of slapping continued, and they clearly had accumulated a lot of anger.

Normally, they wouldn't dare to slap so easily. But they had all heard of the deeds of this Caitan sister before, and with her around, they felt a lot more upright.

Li Caitan finally showed a satisfied smile, and after nodding to Ying Wuji, she turned to the Li family women and said, "Follow me!"

"Hold on!"

Bai Jie had already endured enough, and if he backed down again this time, where would he put his face?

He took a step forward to intercept, but Li Caitan directly drew her long sword. The slender sword body seemed to contain a surging tide, and the unmatched sword energy made Bai Jie's expression change drastically.

A warrior!

Mastering the True Qi!

What kind of monster was this?

He immediately activated his Shadowless Stance.

The sword energy passed through his body, causing no harm but also no hindrance, and directly pounced on the Li family's high-level members.

The Li family members were horrified and quickly exerted their True Qi to resist. Although there were not many strong people in the Li family, there were still quite a few warriors among the high-level members. But even with warriors among them, under this sword energy, they were like dry wood in a strong wind, flying out one by one and crashing into the wall, spitting blood madly. Some with weaker cultivation even fell to the ground.

Li Gui was suddenly furious, "Li Caitan, how dare you... Ah!"

The True Qi turned into a palm, and a slap landed on Li Gui's face.

In an instant, the skull shattered, and a mist of blood and brain matter filled the air.

The white and red mixed together.

Originally filled with anger and ready to speak out, the high-level Li family experts were suddenly dumbfounded, standing still on the spot, silent.

None of them had expected that this Li family abandoned daughter, who was looked down upon by everyone, had become so powerful.

Although the elder Li was not strong in combat, he was still a true warrior.

But he was beaten to death with a slap?

When she had a low cultivation base, she didn't listen to their discipline.

What about now?

Bai Jie: "..."

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

With the blood of the Tianren tribe in his body, he had broken through the fetal transformation realm at the age of eighteen. Although he was not as good as the young geniuses of this generation, with the blood of the Tianren tribe in his body, he considered himself no less than a first-grade fetal transformation realm. In addition, when he broke through to the warrior realm, he comprehended a strong sword intent.

Now, even among the warriors, who were mostly old embryos, he was at least in the upper-middle level.

This level of cultivation, placed among the younger generation of the fetal transformation realm, was not an exaggeration to say that it was crushing strength.Why is this Li family woman so terrifying?

The integration of Primordial True Qi has reached perfection.

Even if placed among the top-tier martial arts, it is still an outstanding existence!

This...

Li Caitan coldly smiled, "If you dare to obstruct again, the men of the Li family will be implicated and probably die!"

Bai Jie: "..."

Ying Wuji patted his extremely ugly face, glanced at the remaining ten Li family women, and said with a smile, "Just make do with them!"

After speaking, he left with a big laugh.

Bai Jie looked at these women who seemed ordinary and felt extremely suffocated in his chest.

But thinking about it, even if the Li family women were ordinary, the descendants they produced were quite good.

He still gritted his teeth.

Four words squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Ugly enough to kill!"

...

Li's courtyard.

Li Caitan solemnly thanked Ying Wuji, "Thank you!"

Ying Wuji waved his hand, "We are all family. You can temporarily arrange for them to stay here. After a few days, I will think of a way out for them."

"No need!"

Li Caitan smiled and waved his hand, "It's already difficult enough for His Majesty to forgive them. I will take the punishment on their behalf. The women of the Li family understand some medical skills in order to protect their pregnancies. Tomorrow, I will ask His Majesty to send them to a new place to work as doctors. At the very least, they can work as midwives."

After speaking, she turned to look at everyone, "Are you willing?"

The Li family women looked at each other. There had been too many things happening these days.

They had thought of many outcomes, but never considered becoming doctors in a new place.

If that were the case, they would truly become commoners!

For a moment, they were all a bit dazed.

Li Caitan snorted coldly, "Truly despicable! I'll leave my words here. If you go to the new place to work as doctors, you will still receive the care of the Crown Princess. But if you still yearn for your former luxurious days, then you will be left to fend for yourselves!

You have already lost your noble status. Even if you marry into a wealthy family, you will only be concubines. Don't think that you can rely on your children. You should be clear about how those people treat concubines, especially those with talented children."

She was truly angry.

The ten women she had sent over were personally selected from the Li family's fief.

When those despicable women heard that they were going to be demoted to commoners, they acted as if their mothers had died.

And when they heard that ten of them were going to be selected as concubines for the young General Bai of Kingdom Qian, they behaved as if they had seen something disgusting, wishing to pounce on it immediately.

There were over ten thousand women who signed up.

Li Caitan chose the ten ugliest. If they hadn't been pampered, the appearance of these people would not even be as good as an ordinary woman from an ordinary family.

They were truly the cream of the crop when it came to ugliness.

Indeed.

Most of the Li family women were inherently weak.

Everyone: "..."

Finally, a woman gritted her teeth, "I'll listen to my cousin!"

Once someone spoke up, the rest did not hesitate.

They all nodded in agreement.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself that Li Caitan was indeed ruthless, not only towards himself but also towards the women of her own clan. Forcing them to break free from their servile nature was truly impressive.

But this kind of thinking was strangely in line with the new laws of the Great Li.

And before long, a large number of talented young men from commoner backgrounds would emerge in the new place. If these marriages could be arranged, it would undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for the future strength of the people of Kingdom Li.

Li Caitan's expression eased slightly, and she looked at Ying Wuji, "As they go to the new place as commoners, they should also be able to enjoy the benefits of the Resettlement Order, right?"

"Of course!"

Ying Wuji smiled, "After the men of the Li family move out, there should still be some property left behind. I will request the King to sell it, and the proceeds will be distributed to them. But my idea is to have them join the official medical clinic of the Great Li as formal employees, and the money will be distributed along with their salaries. Of course, this is contingent on their performance in the court's assessment."

"Oh?"

Li Caitan was taken aback, "Is that possible?"

Ying Wuji nodded, "Naturally, it is. The wealth of the Great Li does not support idlers!"

"Very good!"

Li Caitan finally showed a hint of a smile and solemnly bowed to Ying Wuji, "Thank you!"

Ying Wuji waved his hand with a smile, "No need to thank me! Rest for a few days. There will be another good show for you to perform in a few days!"

"No problem!"

Li Caitan knew what this good show was, and hesitantly asked, "My mother..."

"She has already been taken to the palace!"

Ying Wuji immediately replied, "She is just suffering from excessive worry and has experienced great joy and sorrow. She has not yet regained consciousness, but there is no major issue. Someone will take you there in a few days. By that time, Jiang Taiyuan, that old fool, should be about to arrive."

"Okay!"

Li Caitan nodded heavily.

There was no trace of her previous charming and wanton appearance.

...

Time passed quickly.

Under the escort of Zhao's family, the men of the Li family in Jiangcheng had already been sent to the Li family's fief.

They only needed the approval of the Great Li to immediately set off for Kingdom Qian, leaving the fief entirely to Zhao's family. The Li family's fief was located in the heart of Kingdom Li and had vast fertile land.

At present, Kingdom Li was undivided, and there was no military value for the time being.

But when Kingdom Li was divided, this place would definitely become the granary contested by the three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han.

But that time was still far off.

There was still time to build city walls.

The Li clan had just arrived at the fief, and news came from the border between Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li.

The news was that the Bai clan had already arrived in Anyi. After being examined by local medical experts, they returned in good health and were slowly advancing towards Jiangcheng.

After the nearly ten thousand Kingdom Qian troops escorting them handed them over to the Zhao family's troops, they immediately rushed towards Jiangcheng. They were also the troops sent by King Qian, Ying Yue, to escort the Li clan back to Kingdom Qian.

Each of them was an elite force.

Elite forces were truly valuable now!The Kingdom of Qian had not yet fully recovered its vitality, and the Zhao family had also suffered heavy losses in the capital of the Great Ming while stationed in Anyi with the Ji family army.

Apart from the constant infighting in the Kingdom of Chu, and the opportunity for the Tian family to replace the Jiang family in the Kingdom of Qi, any other country that wanted to send out so many elite troops would probably have to think twice.

Three days passed.

Ten thousand elite troops from the Kingdom of Qian were stationed one hundred miles south of the Li family's fiefdom.

They had come according to the arrangements of the Li royal family, and the army was disciplined, with no trouble along the way, looking very orderly.

After the troops were stationed, envoys were immediately sent out to contact important figures in the Li family's fiefdom.

Another day passed.

Important figures from both sides had arrived.

"Greetings, Young Master Wuji!"

When Ying Wuji arrived, everyone present stood up and bowed.

Although he was already the son-in-law of the Kingdom of Li, he was ultimately a prince of the Kingdom of Qian, and one of the only two princes of the Kingdom of Qian.

The proper etiquette could not be neglected.

"Please, be seated, everyone!"

Ying Wuji sat generously in the main seat and gestured for everyone to sit down.

After everyone had taken their seats, he looked around.

He found that apart from Bai Jie, there was not a single familiar face present, and he could only deduce that there were four soldiers leading the team, which was already quite impressive.

He looked at Bai Jie, "Cousin! With such great achievements, why hasn't Ying Wuque come? Isn't he now qualified enough to ascend to the position of crown prince?"

Bai Jie's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still explained, "Young Master Wuque is busy with his new marriage, and is currently busy with the birth of the royal grandson, so he doesn't have time to come over here."

He casually made up a reason to get through it.

Others didn't know, but Bai Jie, as the future King of Qian's confidant, was well aware of Ying Wuque's current condition.

Described by two illnesses.

Misogyny.

Fear of chickens.

At the sight of a woman, he would appear extremely annoyed, and if she was naked, he would lose interest. The two Li family women had been married for so many days, and they were still virgins.

The fear of chickens was even simpler, as soon as Ying Wuji was mentioned, his face would turn pale, his true energy would become disordered, and at the beginning of the severe stage, he would even fall to the ground to protect his head.

To fully recover, it would take at least a year.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity to make a contribution.

"Unfortunately, unfortunately!"

Ying Wuji pursed his lips. He was originally still hesitating whether to give Ying Wuque a chance when he saw him, after all, the Danqing was already gone, and as long as he was disabled, he would never come back to life.

But he felt that Ying Wuque was a bit of a waste now, so it wasn't impossible to leave him behind.

Bai Jie said in a deep voice, "Wuji, since everything has been settled, why don't we let the Li family members come out now and we can escort them back to Qian?"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "What's the rush? The brothers of the Kingdom of Qian have come from afar, and it wouldn't be right for me, as the host, to let them rest and then leave immediately. If I did that, I would be a laughingstock! Everyone, eat and drink your fill, rest for a few days, and then we can leave."

With that, he made a gesture of invitation.

The table was filled with delicacies, which he had prepared to entertain his compatriots.

But everyone looked at each other and happily picked up their chopsticks.

Goblets clinked.

Soon, they were full of food and drink.

Ying Wuji waved his hand and stood up, intending to leave directly. Before leaving, he also prepared to take away the old things that the Kingdom of Qian had sent to his mother, which seemed to contain many important things.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he stood up, everyone else stood up as well.

Faintly, there was a hint of blocking the door.

He couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean by this?"

Bai Jie smiled faintly, "It's nothing, it's just that this journey may not be too peaceful, and we are all just wine bags and rice bags, so we hope that Young Master Wuji can send us off."

"Send you off?"

Ying Wuji sneered, "You dare to take me hostage in the Kingdom of Li, and you really have some nerve!"

To be honest, he was really a little surprised.

These guys really didn't follow the rules of warfare, and didn't observe any diplomatic etiquette.

Aren't they afraid of offending the Kingdom of Qian and the Kingdom of Li?

Bai Jie smiled and waved his hand, "Wuji, you're exaggerating. We are unfamiliar with this place, and it's very likely that we will get lost in the Kingdom of Li. And everyone in the world knows that you are the most vengeful person, so if we offend you, we naturally have to be careful.

If we're talking about who's got the guts.

It's really not as much as your cousin.

In front of His Majesty, he dared to disobey the imperial order and severely injure the crown prince.

Courtesy demands reciprocity.

You can't blame us for being too cautious.

It's just accompanying us for a short distance, and we won't harm a hair on your head."

But that's not necessarily true.

Ying Wuji's eyes were slightly dark, and this group of people was standing in a very orderly manner, a standard formation of surrounding but not killing.

He pursed his lips, "You people from the Kingdom of Qian are really interesting. You used the Bai family to threaten your cousin, and now you're holding your son hostage to threaten the Kingdom of Li. This is really embarrassing."

Everyone's faces looked a little unnatural.Except for Bai Jie, who was the leader, he sighed, "Young Master Wuji, this can hardly be considered a threat. You should know that we have no reason to harm you. Otherwise, with your personality, you wouldn't have come here so openly. We are just here to complete a mission, that's all."

"Oh? That's my fault?"

Although Ying Wuji knew they had a point, the Kingdom of Qian really didn't dare to harm him now, but he was still a little unhappy.

The others all agreed, "Yes!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

He waved his hand, "Forget it, since you want me to send them, then I will!"

"In that case, we will set off in three days. We take our leave!"

The others all left.

But Bai Jie didn't move.

Ying Wuji glanced at him, "What? Cousin, don't you trust me?"

"Naturally!"

Bai Jie spoke bluntly, then clapped his hands, and soon two women were brought in.

They looked familiar.

Aren't these the two from the ten women sent to the Li family that night?

And they were the ugliest two.

Ying Wuji sneered, "What do you mean by this?"

Bai Jie snorted, "One good turn deserves another. Besides, the Emperor's Blood of our Ying clan can't all stay in the Kingdom of Li. But rest assured, I haven't touched these two, they are still innocent..."

Ying Wuji retorted, "You understand the other eight, don't you? Cousin, you really don't have a discerning eye!"

Bai Jie's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

The other eight.

He had indeed already made a move.

The remaining two were truly too ugly to touch.

Even someone with prosopagnosia would find them ugly.

That's how ugly they were.

So he had some twisted thoughts, whether it was to disgust Ying Wuji or to leave behind some high-quality offspring, it was all good.

He snorted, "I have already ordered that no one will enter no matter what happens inside. Enjoy yourself, cousin."

With that, he directly crushed a pill.

The pill turned into smoke, spreading in the air throughout the entire camp.

And he himself, also turned into a phantom.

Completely invisible.

His body turned into nothingness, naturally unable to breathe in the actual aphrodisiac powder.

Ying Wuji looked at the two women who were starting to become unable to control themselves and fell into silence.

"..."

He really underestimated the limits of human nature.

But.

Bai Jie also underestimated the limits of his own strength.

Completely invisible.

I can do it too!

The aphrodisiac in the air had absolutely no effect, and the two women were left empty-handed.

Immediately.

He clenched his hands.

Sealing the Sky! Instantly sealing off the entire military camp.

Even though it was only the youth version that Emperor Zhuanxu had used at the time, it was still the strongest restrictive spell in the world, and it was impossible to escape from it, whether it was the physical body or the spirit.

"This..."

Bai Jie's expression suddenly became horrified, and at the same time, he used two Sky-level spells, which was truly terrifying.

His Majesty had mentioned that Ying Wuji might use the Sealing the Sky spell, but he didn't say that he could also become completely invisible!

Sky-level spells.

Are they really that worthless?

But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

Just from the brief eye contact with Ying Wuji, he felt as if a thousand poisoned steel needles had pierced his brain, causing his whole body to break out in a cold sweat.

Mental attack!?

He was extremely shocked, but fortunately, his own spirit was strong enough, and he only felt dizzy for a moment before returning to normal.

But in that short moment, a formation made up of iron pieces had already enveloped him.

He immediately felt that his true energy and mana all became stagnant.

And the effect of becoming completely invisible suddenly disappeared.

Ying Wuji's actions didn't stop there, a series of restrictive spells were thrown out, fixing his limbs to the ground, unable to move at all.

And those two ugly women finally got what they wanted, pouncing on the man.

Bai Jie let out a pig-like scream of agony.

But under the influence of the aphrodisiac.

There was also some shameful enjoyment in it.

Tsk tsk!

Ji Tong's spells are really useful.

Although they are extremely harsh, as long as they are used properly, they can counteract all spells.

Ying Wuji had originally wanted to enjoy the show.

But the scene was truly a bit too much for the eyes.

It didn't even meet the average quality of domestic products.

He left with a casual "Enjoy yourselves" and directly tore open the space to leave the place.

Kidding.

Although Brother Wuji hasn't broken through to the realm of a martial artist, his strength is still far inferior to the top experts of today.

But in terms of the depth and breadth of his methods, who in this world can compare?

Except for those ghostly places at the end of the Capital of the Great Ming.

I'm afraid only the level of a weapon like the Kingdom of Qian's bell, or the super-restrictive spells used by the experts of the Divine Enlightenment realm, can restrict my movements, right?

A mere Bai Jie is really not worth my attention.

...

The Kingdom of Qian's army did not stay for three days to rest.

They only stayed for one night before setting off back to Qian with the Li clan members.

The atmosphere on the road had been quite strange.

The various generals followed behind Bai Jie, each looking hesitant to speak.

After all, yesterday's events were too bizarre.

They all knew Bai Jie's plan, to let the Emperor's Blood of Zhuanxu stay in the bellies of the Li family women and bring it back, and they all agreed.

But then...

Why did the sounds of Little White General's pain and pleasure come from the camp?

Did he play with Young Master Wuji...

Aren't they afraid of mixing blood?

But they soon realized that something was wrong, because they only heard the sounds of Bai Jie's pleasure with the two women, and not a sound from Ying Wuji.

They wanted to break in, but they couldn't break the restriction on the camp.

It wasn't until two hours had passed and the restriction dissipated on its own that they were able to enter the camp and see the unsightly scene.Although it was hard on the eyes, one couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Bai family's bloodline; they had managed to endure for two whole hours without conclusion.

The Kingdom Qian's army and the men of the Li family headed west, rushing towards the border between Qian and Li.

Bai Jie could hardly bear the deathly silence.

He forced a smile, shaking off the frost on his face: "Gentlemen, there's no need for such worry. Although Young Master Wuji has escaped, I've already forced King Li to swear a blood oath. This time, as we return to Qian, we're passing through the lands of the Zhao clan, and not a single Zhao will lift a finger against us.

There won't be any problems along the way.

We may have lost face, but we've gained substantial benefits."

The crowd hastily responded, "Ah, right, right, right!"

The atmosphere grew even more awkward.

They felt that Bai Jie's words contained two huge loopholes and traps.

Are we silent because we're worried?

General Bai, you should speak with some conscience!

Indeed, we've gained substantial benefits.

But it's you who lost face, not us!

"Ah ha, hahaha..."

Bai Jie threw back his head, letting out a hearty yet awkward laugh: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. When the day comes for Qian and Li to clash, Young Master Wuji will surely pay the price for his arrogance."

Someone beside him asked, "But currently, the relations between Qian and Li are stable, aren't they? It's far from the point of war, right?"

Bai Jie's smile was stiff: "No matter! A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years..."

His voice suddenly stopped.

His expression changed dramatically, a mix of shock and rage uncontrollably flooding his face.

"They're here!"

"What's here?"

The crowd was puzzled.

Bai Jie's face twisted with fury, and he bellowed, "All troops, on alert! Prepare for battle!"

The crowd was instantly terrified.

Only then did a few leading warriors sense the distant sound of horse hooves.

It was faint.

But faint because it was far.

The thundering of these hooves belonged to an army of at least fifty thousand!

And at least half were cavalry.

The soldiers of Qian were shocked, and the men of the Li family were even more terrified, shrinking back.

This is bad!

Someone is going back on their word!

The third loophole in Bai Jie's words had appeared!

But Zhuanxu's blood oath cannot be broken. If King Li violates the blood oath, the entire Zhao clan will suffer the backlash. Are they truly not afraid...

Soon.

They saw who was coming.

A dark mass of cavalry, the leader riding a divine steed with a silver armor and a white cloak, as ostentatious as it was impractical.

Yet, it looked damn impressive!

Bai Jie's eyes bulged, his anger palpable: "Young Master Wuji, what is the meaning of this? Is the Zhao clan going back on their word?"

Ying Wuji sneered: "My surname is Ying, not Zhao. And take a good look at who is behind me, which family's army it is!"

Bai Jie was stunned.

Upon closer inspection.

He realized it wasn't the Zhao army, but...

"The Wei and Han families!?"

All the soldiers of Qian were dumbfounded.

This was Zhao territory; why would the Wei and Han armies appear here?

These two families were being bled dry by Zhao; they shouldn't be helping Zhao exhaust the Kingdom Qian!

"Hahaha!"

Bai Jie roared to the sky, unable to understand why, but the situation before him was crystal clear.

His voice trembled with hatred: "Very well! Do you really think a rabble of fifty thousand can do anything to us? Since Wei and Han are willing to be Zhao's dogs, then be prepared to pay the price. All troops, heed my command, fight to the death!"

As his words fell.

Several warriors stirred their true energy.

The Kingdom Qian's army had always been invincible, especially in charging formations, and this time they had dispatched seven warrior-class experts.

Charging the Wei-Han allied forces with ten thousand troops was not impossible.

However, just as this thought arose in their hearts.

More than twenty terrifying auras surged into the sky from the opposite side.

The soldiers of Qian were horrified.

This...

How deep was the hatred between the Wei and Han families!

To dispatch over twenty warrior-class masters?

Ying Wuji sneered. These twenty-plus warrior-class masters were not sent by the Wei and Han families, but were his own subordinates, loyal to him through the Guising Mirror and the Red Dust Seal.

He waved his hand grandly.

A hundred beans fell to the ground and turned into soldiers.

His voice was chilling: "Kill! Leave none alive!"

On the territory of the Kingdom Li.

Using the lives of my maternal clan to threaten me into releasing the most despicable men in the world.

And the Bai family are all your relatives.

If I let you go again.

I'll no longer bear the surname Ying!
