"Big apricot!"

"Stay calm!"

"I am a married woman!"

Ying Wuji mumbled, feeling the sweet and soft touch of two apricot lips on his own, occasionally with a playful tongue trying to pry open his teeth.

Being repeatedly ravaged.

He felt a great sense of humiliation: "You're going too far!"

"Too far?"

Mi Xingli was satisfied after her indulgence and finally closed her mouth.

Although her cheeks were a little red, her face still had a very roguish smile: "If you think I've gone too far, then push me away!"

Ying Wuji said indignantly, "I did push you away!"

"You pushed me away?"

Mi Xingli lowered her head and looked: "Or did you pinch me?"

Oh!

He did pinch her!

That's all right then!

Ying Wuji calmly withdrew his hand, saying calmly, "You know, when people are nervous, they can't help but grab something. Your sudden move, who can handle that?"

Mi Xingli pursed her lips.

Can't handle it?

I saw you quite enjoying it just now!

She didn't say this out loud.

It's not that she couldn't say it.

It's just that after the kiss, she felt a little empty inside, with a hint of bitterness lingering between her eyes and nose.

Ying Wuji looked at her: "Did you break into the Qian Kingdom embassy just to take advantage of me?"

"Of course not, your looks aren't worth a trip from this young master!"

Mi Xingli rolled her eyes at him, then opened her right hand: "Here, take this!"

Ying Wuji looked at her palm, feeling nothing unusual, just pure and white.

Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw a hint of crimson emerging from her palm, which then condensed into a jade insect.

He was curious: "What is this thing?"

Mi Xingli pursed her lips: "Rebirth insect!"

"Damn!"

Ying Wuji was shocked: "You're willing to give me this thing?"

The so-called rebirth insect is not actually an insect, but a kind of barbarian treasure.

Its effect is not rebirth, but it's similar to having a second life.

When the host suffers a fatal injury, it will quickly collect the host's spirit and essence while they are still intact, and absorb as much of the remaining energy as possible.

The host's body will turn into dry bones, but the remaining essence still has a chance to rebuild the body.

The rebirth insect is inscribed with an array. When the host's spirit and essence reach the rebirth standard, the array will be immediately activated, transporting the host to a designated location, turning into a cocoon, and being reborn under the nurturing of precious materials.

The barbarian tribe has already disappeared, or more accurately, it has been conquered and integrated by the Kingdom of Chu.

The monarchs of the Kingdom of Chu have always had the tradition of personally leading expeditions, and without the Zhao family's inherited body transformation technique, it is quite dangerous. However, they still dare to lead expeditions because they have this rebirth insect as a last resort.

However, in history, this rebirth insect seems to have only been effective once.

No one knows exactly how many rebirth insects the royal family of Chu still has.

This one.

Clearly, it was left by the King of Chu to protect Mi Xingli's life.

For a moment, he was somewhat moved.

Mi Xingli rolled her eyes: "Don't get me wrong, I mainly value your worth. Since I'm not in any danger, I might as well protect your little life. If you really die, you can come to the Kingdom of Chu and work for me until death!"

Ying Wuji was amused: "Are you so sure that we will turn against each other? If I'm fine in the Kingdom of Li, won't you lose out?"

"Lose out my foot!"

Mi Xingli glared at him: "If that's the case, I'll wait for the war between Chu and Li. On the first day of the war, I'll send someone to assassinate you. You'll have to work for me, even in death!"

Ying Wuji's mouth twitched: "You're really ruthless!"

Although he said so, he still accepted the rebirth insect.

Mi Xingli breathed a sigh of relief: "There's nothing else, I'll leave first! After the Nine Provinces Festival, we will immediately return to the Kingdom of Chu. Until then, farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Ying Wuji nodded and smiled.

Mi Xingli smiled and turned to leave.

Her footsteps seemed urgent.

"Phew!"

Ying Wuji exhaled and stretched lazily.

Sometimes, being with these people gives him a sense of inferiority.

Perhaps.

The people around him are all more determined than he is, but he is not.

During her time in the Kingdom of Li, Mi Xingli may not have any outstanding achievements, but her diligence is chilling. It's clear that she has the will to revitalize the Kingdom of Chu.

But this rebirth insect...

It's really overestimating him.

If he were really forced to use the rebirth insect to save his life, how much value could he provide to the Kingdom of Chu if he managed to escape alone?

Ying Wuji didn't want to accept this rebirth insect.

But he had to.

Because Mi Xingli shouldn't have given it to him.

But she did.

"Such a hassle!"

Ying Wuji shook his head, looked at the sky, and then left the courtyard directly.

Since coming to the city of Luo, the food has been excellent.

The meals were lively and enjoyable.

Every time, the royal family, the elders of the Zhao family, and the high-level members of the Bai family gathered together, looking very close to each other.

After dinner, it was already dark.

After dismissing the outsiders, Zhao Ji kept Ying Wuji behind and called him to the study.

The candlelight was bright, reflecting on his face.

Although his hair was gray and his wrinkles were obvious, he exuded an indescribable air of nobility.

This old handsome man...

As soon as Zhao Ji sat down, he noticed that Ying Wuji had silently grabbed a chair and sat opposite him, and couldn't help but give him a disdainful look.

But he didn't say much, just poured two cups of tea, and pushed one of them in front of Ying Wuji.

"Hey! Thanks, Dad!"Ying Wuji chuckled and drained his cup of tea in one gulp.

Zhao Ji also took a sip and placed his teacup back on the table, looking at Ying Wuji with a touch of sentimentality. "We're about to leave. Don't you feel reluctant?"

"Hmph!"

Ying Wuji did feel a bit of reluctance. "Of course, I do!"

Zhao Ji smiled. "Actually, if you don't want to go, it's not too late to change your mind. Kingdom Li is quite nice, too. You have a place to live, a wife to accompany you, and work to do. Don't worry about the Bai family; I have ways to keep them in line without laying a hand on them."

Ying Wuji asked with a smile, "That's a problem even Lao Bi Deng hasn't solved. Are you really confident?"

Zhao Ji fell silent for a moment, not boasting. After pondering for a while, he cautiously said, "As long as you stand firmly with Ning'er, I'm sixty percent sure."

"And the remaining forty percent?"

"For the remaining forty percent, it depends on whether you're willing to give up the Bai family."

Zhao Ji smiled and looked into Ying Wuji's eyes. "Are you willing to give them up?"

Ying Wuji curled his lip. "If I had to choose between the royal family and the Bai family, I'd struggle for one night at most, then resolutely give up the Bai family. Although most of the Bai family are good people, they're all too restless, which is indeed troublesome.

My temperament may seem odd among the noble families, but I still know right from wrong.

Being a hostage in Kingdom Li is a matter between Kingdom Li and Kingdom Qian. I've lived comfortably here, and you've even married off... three daughters to me. I know who truly cares for me.

Even without the Bai family, I could still stay well in Kingdom Li.

To be honest, I don't want to bear the karma of the Bai family.

When I see their foolishness, I've even thought about sending them back.

But I can't just send them away.

My mother is from the Bai family, and I was born to her. I've also received countless benefits from them.

Although I'm not particularly close, the young people of the Bai family have been genuinely good to me, calling me cousin and brother affectionately.

If it were just that.

I could harden my heart, grit my teeth, go against my conscience, and really sell them out.

But they keep ranting in front of me about how powerful the demon race is and how the current human race can't hold them back.

At first, I didn't believe it, but then Kingdom Chu caused such a big commotion. What do you think, should I believe it or not?

Sometimes I really worry that if the demon race attacks, it will threaten my wife and children.

It's like being pushed along.

Kingdom Li is doing well now; there shouldn't be internal strife like the Bai family's.

But just peacefully developing won't make things go smoothly when war breaks out. You've seen Ying Wuque and Nangong Yu, how impressive they are.

I don't have any grand ambitions in life, but I do have a sense of family responsibility.

Might as well let them enjoy a few good years at home.

I'll go out and flex my muscles, pave the way for them."

"Ah..."

Zhao Ji felt a bit sentimental. "I always thought you were a bit unruly, but now you really seem to have the makings of a father. It's just that the outside world is extremely dangerous. If you can't control the Bai family, it won't be easy for you out there."

Ying Wuji laughed. "It's not that hard to control them. The young ones are fine; I just need to get a grip on a few stubborn old men."

"Confidence is good!"

Zhao Ji smiled. "Now, let's talk about the plan. How do you intend to arrange things with Ji Tong?"

Ying Wuji curled his lip and recounted his conversation with Ji Tong.

After listening.

Zhao Ji's expression turned very serious.

He had long suspected that Ji Tong's true identity was that of an old demon, and it turned out to be true. Moreover, his potential power was definitely greater than what he had shown.

With Ji Tong's current three identities, it would be very difficult to raise an elite private army of ten thousand.

Furthermore, Ji Tong claimed that these ten thousand elites had an average cultivation level even fiercer than the troops sent by the Zhao family.

Ying Wuji asked with a smile, "Do you have a plan in mind? If their strength is too strong and they forcefully break us out, that would be quite a spectacle!"

"Slap!"

Zhao Ji slapped him on the head. "Are you underestimating your father? When the time comes, you'll see the true worth of the King of Li. If he says he can annihilate the Zhao family's elite, I might believe him a bit. Forcing a breakout is just a fool's dream.

Although we of the Li royal family don't often take action, we've suppressed Wei and Han for so many years. Do you really think we're pushovers? If I had taken action, do you really think Ying Yue could become the number one warrior in the world?"

Ying Wuji was startled. "Then how do you compare to a sage?"

Zhao Ji smiled. "I can't guarantee anything else, but in battle, those so-called sages are nothing but chickens and dogs!"

Ying Wuji smirked. "You really can talk big."

Zhao Ji: "?"

He glared at Ying Wuji for a long time before helplessly waving his hand. "You're still young and haven't seen much of the world. When the time comes, you'll realize that the foundations of the major powers are not so simple. Go set up the formation now, so Ji Tong doesn't get suspicious.

This time we must damage Ji Tong's vitality. Later, your father will give you a few gifts to prevent you from being controlled by him."

"Alright!"

Ying Wuji stood up with a smile and walked to the door. Suddenly, he asked, "Father! I'm still a bit worried. Could there be any mishaps during the breakout?"

Zhao Ji waved his hand. "Everything is under control; there will be no mishaps!"

Ying Wuji grinned. "Got it!"

With that.

He left the study.

Zhao Ji looked at the recently closed door, his expression complex.

Outside.

Ying Wuji sighed lightly. Today, the father-in-law and son-in-law had spoken many heartfelt words, but they hadn't touched on much substantive content.

For instance... the issue of Zhao Ning's progeny and the royal succession rights.

Give me a few gifts to counterbalance Ji Tong?

He was somewhat puzzled about what those gifts could be.Is it a start-up package or a funeral package?

Listening to Zhao Ji's words, breaking through the blockade of the Zhao family seems to be more difficult than annihilating the elite of the Zhao family.

It's like waking up to reality!

He shook his head.

He left the city directly and went to the camp where the Bai family was located.

...

The next day.

The drums in Luocheng were noisy, and the scale of the battle was unprecedented.

Kings from all over the world gathered, making it a rare event in a thousand years. Even when King Zhou rebuilt the old capital, the scale was not as grand as this.

But you could say it was a sight to behold, but not entirely.

Because most of the content of this Nine Provinces Sacrifice had been negotiated in advance, it was just a formality.

This Nine Provinces Sacrifice.

Was jointly hosted by King Zhou and King Li. Throughout the event, the two of them were on equal footing, it was just a matter of who was on the left and who was on the right.

For a while, Zhao Ji was the center of attention among the lords and kings.

But there was no way around it. The Ji clan needed Wei and Han to become independent as soon as possible, the Tian clan also wanted to take advantage of this momentum to establish their own kingdom, and the Chu kingdom was eager to borrow troops to pacify the demonic troubles.

All of this was accomplished by Zhao Ji.

Except for the Qian kingdom, no one would raise objections.

Ying Yue looked at his former brothers, who had once been so close, but now that they raised objections, they seemed somewhat out of place.

So he could only watch quietly.

Feeling a bit depressed.

But fortunately, his own brother would soon lose his beloved son-in-law.

Thinking of this, he felt much better.

The Nine Provinces Sacrifice proceeded according to the established procedures. King Zhou, who was somewhat handsome, fervently prayed on behalf of the entire world, praying for favorable weather for the Nine Provinces.

Then King Li, with sincere emotions, stepped forward and expressed how much he loved his two good brothers and two good ministers, and how he felt it was beneath him to be a vassal of a lord, so he hoped that King Zhou would grant them land.

King Zhou did not expect that among the lords and kings, there would be such a wise ruler. He praised King Li and then announced the granting of fiefdoms to Wei Huan and Han Zhe.

From then on.

The Wei kingdom and the Han kingdom were officially established, but it would still take a month for the Li kingdom to withdraw its original officials and make the necessary arrangements.

Then Jiang Leqing's father stepped forward and stated that the Jiang clan had lost control of the land of Qilu and requested to be granted land in Sui City.

King Zhou, taking advantage of the situation, granted Jiang Qi land in Sui City, making it the Jiang kingdom, but at the same time, he also granted the title of King Qi to the Tian clan.

Finally, a ceremony was held to crown these four brothers as kings.

Wei Huan, Han Zhe, Jiang Leqing's father, and Tian Li, the four new kings, had different expressions. The first two had a feeling of tears, while the latter two looked at each other with undisguised hatred.

It was Jiang Taiyuan's father, Jiang Chen, who did not dare to show his face, and only sent a member of the royal family to represent the Jiang clan. But with Zhao Ji present, he had no chance to represent Jiang Qi, and could only watch as Jiang Leqing's father continued to be recognized as the legitimate heir of the Jiang clan.

His eyes were red with anger.

With the matter of crowning the kings settled, the new pattern of the Central Plains was basically established.

After that, the issue of the demonic troubles in the Chu kingdom was raised. The King of Chu expressed his deep concern, saying how the demonic troubles had brought suffering to the people of Chu, and requested King Zhou to send troops.

King Zhou immediately stated that this was a matter concerning the human race, and as the ruler of the world, he could not shirk his responsibility. He then made a call to arms, asking the kings of the various states who would be willing to send troops.

In the end, apart from the Qian kingdom, which was more enthusiastic and willing to send out thirty thousand elite troops, the other countries were not particularly eager.

The Wei and Han clans were busy with internal affairs, the Wu kingdom stated that its national strength was too weak and would only send out five thousand troops.

The Li kingdom and the Yan kingdom were too far away and would only send out ten thousand troops.

The Flame kingdom had been beaten badly by the Chu kingdom some time ago and needed to recover its strength, so it was not willing to send out any troops at all.

Only the Jiang kingdom, with its one city, directly stated that it would not send anyone.

So in the end.

Apart from King Zhou, all the kings of the various states combined only sent out seventy thousand troops.

But fortunately, they were all elite troops.

In addition, Nangong Ling, sent by the royal family, was obviously trying to save face for the Chu kingdom, so it could still help the Chu kingdom breathe a sigh of relief.

With the matter of dealing with the demonic troubles resolved.

The first stop of the Nine Provinces Sacrifice officially ended, and King Zhou did not want to stay in the territory of the Li kingdom for long. He immediately stated that he would leave first, and that the kings of the various states would meet again in Yucheng to deal with the demonic troubles, and then he left with his entourage.

The other kings of the various countries also returned to their own countries one after another.

The Nine Provinces Sacrifice, which had been so grand, was actually just a formality, and the real highlight would be the show of strength in the battle against the demonic troubles.

It all depended on who, between the royal family and the Qian kingdom, would put on a better performance.

The Nine Provinces Sacrifice, which had been so lively.

In the blink of an eye, it was over.

After the climax of Luocheng, there was no lingering charm, only emptiness.

But Wei Huan and Han Zhe were obviously not empty. The two of them were in high spirits, and they pulled Zhao Ji to chat about family matters.

The relationship between the three of them became even closer than before.

But there was nothing they could do.

After Wei and Han established their kingdoms, they could naturally use strict laws to completely stop the blood-sucking situation.

But their national strength urgently needed to recover, and the Qian kingdom had also revealed a bit of its hand, so they were a bit anxious, and they just hoped that the Zhao family would not put too much pressure on them.

Zhao Ji generously stated that the Zhao, Wei, and Han clans shared the same origin and would definitely not lay a hand on the two old brothers. Even if the Qian kingdom bullied Wei and Han, the Zhao family would provide financial and material support in secret.

They all knew that this was a balance that the Zhao family had made to prevent the Qian kingdom from expanding too quickly to the east. The Li kingdom would definitely not want the Qian kingdom or the Ji clan to become too powerful, so the financial and material support would go to the weaker party.

But in the short term, it was indeed good news for Wei and Han.

So the two of them accepted it gladly and left Luocheng with smiles, saying that they hoped the Zhao family would withdraw from Wei and Han as soon as possible.

"Brother Zhao!"Ying Yue brought Ying Wuque over and smiled at Zhao Ji, "The Li Kingdom has just resolved a major issue. I'm sure you have a lot to do. I'll take Wuque and leave first. If you plan to lead the troops to Yucheng, we might meet again."

When he mentioned "a lot to do," he glanced at Ying Wuji with a meaningful smile.

Zhao Ji, oblivious to the implication, waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm old! How can I lead the troops to Yucheng? I've already shown off my might at the Nine Provinces Sacrificial Ceremony. Let the Qian Kingdom take the lead in pacifying the demons in Yucheng!"

Ying Yue nodded with a smile and prepared to leave with Ying Wuque without saying anything.

Before leaving, he looked deeply at Ying Wuji next to Zhao Ji and said in a deep voice, "Take care of yourself!"

Ying Wuji sneered, "Don't worry! I'll do as I please. It's you who should be careful. You have too many guilty secrets. Watch out for stumbling and falling to your death."

Ying Yue sneered and left with Ying Wuque, who had a similarly hostile expression.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that this so-called Emperor Zhuanxu is not a good omen for them!"

Ying Wuji nodded in agreement, "Indeed! I've never seen a father scold his son like that."

This sentence, to Zhao Ji, seemed to have a different meaning.

He patted Ying Wuji on the shoulder and said, "Accompany me to the city wall?"

"Sure!"

Ying Wuji readily agreed and went up to the city wall with Zhao Ji.

The troops of all the kingdoms were heading south.

There were too many people.

Even with Ying Wuji's sharp eyes, he couldn't accurately find a specific person among them. He could only let his gaze linger in the direction of the Chu and Wu kingdoms for a while.

Zhao Ji tidied up his somewhat disheveled gray hair and sighed softly, "They are all good kids. I hope they all have a good outcome."

Whether from a personal perspective or from the perspective of the Li Kingdom, he hoped that Mi Xingli and Wu Dan would have a good life.

As for Mi Xingli, there was no need to say more. She was highly intelligent and diligent. Even as the King of Li, he was envious of such a lady. He also hoped that the Chu Kingdom could become stronger through reform, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to resist the Ji clan alliance and the Qian Kingdom, which was full of ambitious plans.

As for Wu Dan...

He used to look down on this kid, but later, this kid turned over a new leaf. Although there was suspicion that he was trying to gain favor with Ying Wuji, he was truly a great craftsman for a major kingdom. Moreover, the Li and Wu kingdoms had a secret alliance. Coupled with this kid's loyalty, he would definitely be of great use to the Li Kingdom in the future.

Ying Wuji asked, "Are the people sent to intercept Wu Dan ready?"

"They've been ready for a long time!"

Zhao Ji smiled as he stroked his beard, "Zhao Xin was sent. This kid has known Wu Dan for a long time and has a stubborn temper. The effect should be good."

Ying Wuji smiled. Zhao Xin's effect would indeed be good. This time, with his tacit approval, Wu Dan had "stolen" many of the Li Kingdom's techniques, which was a declaration of war against the Li Kingdom. While helping the Wu Kingdom's economy, he could also provide some political status.

It was similar to his own actions this time... if the old man played chess according to the plan.

Zhao Ji patted his shoulder, "Wuji, have you really made up your mind? Once the teleportation array is activated, there's no turning back!"

"Of course, I'm ready!"

Ying Wuji gave a definite answer and smiled, "Everything has been prepared. It would be too disappointing to back out now. Father, the things I left for the Li Kingdom are in the Prince's Mansion in the New Li City. When you return, they can be opened. Also, the letter I left for you is almost time to be opened."

"Alright!"

Zhao Ji nodded, looking rather complicated.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the vast land and waved his hand, "Go! Be careful on the way!"

Ying Wuji respectfully bowed, "Father! I take my leave!"

After saying that, he turned around, but hesitated and couldn't move his feet for a long time.

The father-in-law and son-in-law stood back to back for a few breaths, and it wasn't until Ying Wuji let out a sigh that he took big strides and left the city wall.

He had instructed Zhao Ji to open the letter when he had murderous intentions toward him.

He wasn't sure if Zhao Ji had murderous intentions toward him.

But he knew that Zhao Ji hadn't opened it.

As he walked away, Zhao Ji covered his mouth and nose, coughing violently, and his old cheeks turned red.

The unique blood-burning technique of the Li royal family gave him the power to shake the world, but it also drained his body.

Throughout history, few Li kings had used it. Burning blood throughout one's life would deplete one's lifespan, and in the end, it was mostly just for intimidation.

He was quite lucky.

He could fully display the power of the Li royal family at the end of his life, while the coalition forces of the various kingdoms were still nearby, showing them how powerful the Li royal family was!

He looked in the direction Ying Wuji had left and silently said to himself:

Wuji!

I will demonstrate the true usage of the Heaven and Earth Connection technique once.

Watch carefully!

...

Outside the city of Luo, the Zhao clan's camp was set up, looking quite calm.

The members of the Bai clan and the Bai family disciples were surrounded by the Zhao clan's descendants in the central area.

Ying Wuji hurried into the center of the Bai clan's camp. The senior members of the Bai clan had already gathered there, each looking anxious like ants on a hot pan. When they saw Ying Wuji arrive, they were relieved and quickly came forward to greet him.

Bai Nong's voice was somewhat tense, "Wuji! The formation has been set up without alerting the Zhao clan. When do we set off?"

"In half an hour!"Ying Wuji nodded, "When it's time to cook, that's when their defense is the weakest. Be prepared and ready to follow my orders at any time. Remember, in the current Bai family, I am the one in charge, and only I can keep the Bai family safe and sound.

Anyone who disobeys my orders will be removed from the family tree immediately!

Do you understand? "

Bai Nong and Bai Ling glanced at each other and nodded, "Got it!"

Ying Wuji pinched Hua Chao's hand and smiled, "We're about to go all out. Are you scared?"

Hua Chao smiled gently, "What is there to be afraid of when I'm with you? I... I'm just worried about you."

She was very clear.

This is not a game of escape.

She believed that Ying Wuji would definitely be safe, even if he lost the gamble.

But she still didn't want Ying Wuji to lose.

Losing the bet wouldn't cost him his life.

But it would cost him his innocence.

She felt that this was Ying Wuji's most precious thing, and also the most attractive thing to her.

Ying Wuji also took a deep breath.

Taking this step.

He was walking to a crucial point in the game.

He was still not sure whether Zhao Ji would deviate from the chessboard and play the "winning hand."

...

The sun was setting.

The smoke from the cooking rose gently.

It should have been the quietest and most peaceful time in the military camp every day.

But there were bursts of mournful sounds coming from the Zhao family's military camp.

"The Bai family has defected!"

"The Bai family has defected!"

"Rise up!"

"Chase them!"

"Kill the traitors!"

Twenty miles away.

In the mountains.

Four thousand five hundred people appeared out of thin air.

Although the teleportation array was not far away, the positioning was very accurate.

At a glance, Ying Wuji was sure that he had reached his destination.

He scanned the quiet mountain stream and did not see a single person.

He cleared his throat.

"I, Ying Wuji, have arrived! Please show yourselves."

The sound echoed several times.

The mountain stream then echoed with rustling sounds.

Soon, figures appeared out of thin air from the mountain walls, their eyes showing signs of madness, clearly symptoms of excessive consumption of the Barbarian Ghost-Face Flower.

At a glance, Ying Wuji could tell that they were demonic people from the For My Sect.

There were about a thousand of them.

These people might be average on the front lines, but each of them had strange methods that could definitely have a great effect.

Just like when they had just blended into the cliff, if Ying Wuji's spiritual awareness hadn't been so strong, he wouldn't have noticed at all.

After the demonic people from the For My Sect appeared.

There was a uniform marching sound in the mountain stream.

A group of soldiers in black armor followed closely behind, quickly forming a neat marching formation on the road.

They also exuded the unique aura of the Capital of the Great Ming.

Their discipline was beyond compare.

As someone who had intimate contact with the rules of the true self, Ying Wuji immediately understood the mystery of these people.

They were like puppets!

But not puppets!

Because each person had their own soul, pure to the extreme true self.

But the souls of these black-armored soldiers were like products from an assembly line, all cut from the same mold.

The true self of a normal person wouldn't be so highly similar.

These black-armored soldiers had probably been raised in the Capital of the Great Ming by Ji Tong since infancy, which was why they had such uniformity and discipline.

Ying Wuji was very sure that the average strength of these people was only slightly higher than that of the elite of the Zhao family, but the explosive combat power of these mass-produced souls was bound to be terrifying.

How many more armies like this did Ji Tong have?

"Don't bother looking, you won't understand!"

A plump figure in a black robe walked slowly to Ying Wuji.

Taking off the cloak, she revealed a beautiful and exotic face, her eyes carrying a hint of cold smile. "Lord Husband, you have finally reached this point."

Ying Wuji raised his eyebrows, "Gu Niang?"

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

He could call out his own identity.

Gu Niang was not surprised, after all, as the Lord Husband of the Great Li, it was not particularly difficult to investigate the details of the demonic people from the For My Sect who had been active for many years.

She raised her chin slightly, "I'm glad you recognized me, but I don't like the way you're talking to me!"

She then turned and pointed to the black-armored soldiers covering the mountains and plains, "These are all the hard work of the Sect Master. In my eyes, they are much more valuable than you dogs who have lost your homes. If the Sect Master didn't appreciate you, you would have no place in the Kingdom Li.

This time, we are helping you escape, it is the Sect Master's gift to you.

So don't be ungrateful, put away your inexplicable arrogance, and give up the idea of sitting on an equal footing with the Prince.

In terms of strength, the Sect Master far surpasses you.

In terms of spirit, you are far inferior.

So..."

Ying Wuji interrupted with a smile, "You're acting like a scammer, trying to show your strength as soon as you cross the border. I ask you, is this your idea, or Ji Tong's idea?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Nong with a smile that was not a smile.

Bai Nong's face looked a bit ugly. During the previous negotiations, he had always insisted that cooperating with Ji Tong was the best option.

He didn't expect that as soon as they left the Kingdom Li, they would want to show their dominance.

There was a flash of severity in Gu Niang's eyes, "What if it's my idea?"

"If it's your idea... then kneel down for me!"

Ying Wuji slapped directly, as fast as lightning, but with the force of an earthquake.

The human form that Gu Niang had transformed into was instantly shattered, leaving behind an ugly and bloated insect trembling on the ground, oozing a blood-red sticky liquid all over its body.

The twelve pairs of eyes on the insect's body were full of horror.Ying Wuji looked down at her from his superior position and said, "I came here to be your boss, who gave you the audacity to speak to me so rudely? If you're not convinced, you can take action against me right now!"

Poison Mother's eyes were filled with resentment, but she refrained from speaking further.

Struggling to gather her demon power back into her human form, she no longer possessed her earlier beauty and charm. Her face was covered with bloodstains, making her look particularly miserable.

She snorted softly, "You're only relying on the sect leader's favor! Once I break through the Zhao family's blockade and reach a safe area, I'll settle the score with you! Just follow obediently and don't hold us back!"

With that said,

She waved her hand,

And led the sect's trusted followers to the front.

Ying Wuji smacked his lips; this Ji Tong was quite interesting, testing his attitude right from the start and letting his subordinates take the blame.

Truly befitting of a boss.

He said in a deep voice, "Follow them!"

A group of fifteen thousand people.

They began to move quickly along the pre-planned route.

It was as if they were racing against time.

The sect's demon experts frequently displayed their skills, easily overcoming any terrain obstacles.

Their movements were stealthy, and their speed was extremely fast; in just half an hour, they had already covered fifty li.

No wonder Ji Tong was so confident he could lead the entire Bai family out of the Kingdom Li.

But as they hurried along,

Everyone began to notice something was amiss.

At Poison Mother's command, the team came to a swift halt.

Ying Wuji's expression turned stern: "What's wrong?"

Poison Mother opened the map, her expression filled with panic: "The mountains, the terrain... everything has changed!"

"What the hell?"

Ying Wuji's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Something unexpected,

Had still happened.
