The sound of killing outside the formation was deafening.

Ying Wuji had no intention of intervening. He had heard Bai Zhi's secret transmission earlier and knew that Ji Tong's last resort was Gu Niang's poison. Now that Gu Niang was disabled, those ten thousand people were just ordinary elite warriors.

Admittedly, their average cultivation level was indeed higher than the Zhao family's.

But in the previous escape and killing, the black-armored warriors had suffered greatly, and the morale of the demonic people of the Wǒjiā had been completely crushed.

On the other hand, the Zhao family had been biding their time, and the Bai family had also preserved their strength to the maximum. In addition, the Bai family was originally quite strong, so there would be no unexpected occurrences.

In that case.

It would be better to give those new recruits some training opportunities.

There would definitely be casualties, but this kind of life-and-death battle would be enough to make them reborn in blood.

The ultimate elite that he had nurtured with demonic energy for so long also needed to be sharpened.

Inside the formation.

Ying Wuji turned his head and looked at Gu Niang with a smile that was not a smile. At this moment, her head and body were separated, but she was not dead yet.

Her body had already turned into a headless worm, and her huge belly twisted and writhed on the ground, with various eggs rolling all over the place.

Her head still had a human face.

Her eyes were full of resentment.

Her mouth opened and closed.

Although she was sealed and her voice couldn't be heard, it was clear that it was extremely unpleasant.

Ying Wuji didn't bother to talk to her and directly summoned a ball of flames.

Earth-grade.

Used for refining pills, it was said to be able to refine anything except for metal and stone, a real killer of animals and plants.

He didn't remember when it had burst out from someone, but it had caused too much trouble. Now, he had become a versatile little genius.

This fire.

Was not considered high-grade.

But it should be able to refine a big demon's head, right?

Sure enough.

As soon as Gu Niang's head came into contact with the flames, her face quickly contorted, and she closed her eyes and howled in agony, her appearance extremely hideous, clearly suffering great pain.

Drops of fluid oozed from her pores, making a sizzling sound.

And so, the refining continued.

In the blink of an eye.

Half an hour had passed.

Outside the formation, it was already a sea of corpses, with black-armored warriors and demonic people of the Wǒjiā everywhere. Of course, there were also many corpses of the Zhao family and the Bai family, but compared to the former, they were not worth mentioning.

But inside the formation, Gu Niang was still howling.

Just as she had howled before, she was still howling now.

Apart from her worm head, which had already been roasted to a crisp, there was not much difference from before.

She was howling and screaming, her spirit head still very much intact.

"What a rubbish flame!"

Ying Wuji cursed, then turned to look at the battle that had already ended and simply released the restriction.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the restriction was lifted, the worm head fell to the ground, a wisp of clear smoke rising and flying towards the horizon.

"Wow!"

A figure emerged from the Hánɡuānɡ sword, soaring into the air and quickly grabbing the smoke back.

Han Juan looked at the faint shadow of the worm in the smoke and said, "She also wants to take the spiritual cultivation path, but she's just a first-class larva, and there's still a trick to it."

Ying Wuji looked down at the familiar worm head and suddenly realized. No wonder it had turned out like this. She could still be so arrogant. It turned out that it was the effect of the soul leaving the body. He had just sealed it together and hadn't noticed.

First-class larva.

Not the mother body of the poison, but of a very high level, with strength very close to that of the mother. According to Wǔ Shuānɡxù, the one that Dānqīnɡ killed at the time should have been a first-class larva, which was why she had been fooled. This fire could only refine physical objects and couldn't cause too much damage to the soul.

It seemed that this first-class larva contained a lot of essence. If it could be destroyed, it would definitely greatly weaken Gu Niang's strength.

Ji Tong was really steady.

It was also fortunate that there was the old man, who had broken through the sky, blocking all signal transmissions. Otherwise, the situation here would have been synchronized to Ji Tong in real time.

But there was no need to panic.

As long as he could destroy this remnant soul before the formation was lifted.

Gu Niang's remnant soul had condensed into a human face and looked at Ying Wuji, her voice extremely mournful. "You, Ying Wuji, our leader has worked so hard for you, and you actually betrayed the leader. You are so two-faced..."

"Shut up!"

Ying Wuji was amused. "Working so hard to sow discord between us? What, is the thunder and rain a favor? Could it be that someone really thinks that causing others to lose their wives and children is a favor? Impossible, impossible."

Gu Niang was speechless and could no longer refute.

In her heart, she thought that if her soul were to perish, the situation here would not be transmitted to the leader.

How much damage would it cause the leader to ally with these people?

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find a solution. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Even if you gain the leader's trust with your schemes, you will never be able to counter the leader. Even if you plan everything meticulously, it will be of no avail..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a mirror.

When she came to her senses, she was already locked in a space filled with strange mirrors.

Soon.

Ying Wuji heard the voice of the Red Dust in his mind.

"Wow!"

"Another one!"

"Welcome, new inmate!"

"Stop, stop, stop, don't be so chatty, this person looks familiar!"

"Oh! Isn't this Gu Niang? It's been a few years, and she's still so annoying?"

Ying Wuji transmitted, "This woman is useless. Red Dust Warden, spray her to death for me!"

The Red Dust replied straightforwardly, "Alright! I've been wanting to get rid of this sickly old witch for a long time. Brothers, spray her for me! Bai Jie, you punk, don't think about slacking off!"

The sound of Gu Niang's shouting was drowned out by a flood of highly insulting voices.Ying Wuji was finally satisfied as he exited the Mirror Prison space. He had many means of spiritual attack, but none that could forcibly crush a soul.

However, this Mirror Prison was a top-level divine ability that integrated the essence of the mortal world and the mysterious mirror. It was his own soul space, and by keeping Gu Niang here, even though it was a part of his soul, it would not be able to contact his main soul.

Taming, taming, maybe there would be a chance in the future to manipulate Gu Niang's main body.

After exiting, he looked at the bloated insect corpse of Gu Niang and the colorful insect eggs.

With a thought, he took out a jade box from his bracelet and put them together.

Although this was only the body of a first-class larva, it was the actual strength of a great demon. By using it as nourishment for raising insects, he would definitely be able to raise a new insect with the potential to become a great demon. The "Insect Breeding Method" that had just been taught through the dream, combined with some resources from the demonic veins, might be able to raise a new Insect King.

Although Ying Wuji didn't like the art of raising insects, this thing was quite functional.

It would be quite useful to keep it for later.

"Master of the house!"

Bai Nong saw the formation being lifted and quickly flew up to meet him.

He looked a bit strange, glancing at Ying Wuji, then at the people of the Bai family, and then at the people surrounding them in layers.

Although the battle was over, he was still on edge. They only followed Ying Wuji's orders, but they had no idea what had happened.

Up until now, he still felt that the Zhao family would attack them.

Ying Wuji smiled, didn't say anything, but instead beckoned to the leader of the Zhao family's troops.

The Lord of Julu, Zhao Du, wearing heavy armor, walked over and bowed, saying, "Master-in-law, do you have any other orders?"

Bai Nong: "!!!"

Bai Ling: "!!!"

The people of the Bai family: "......"

So respectful?

"Lord of Julu, you've worked hard!"

Ying Wuji smiled and returned the bow, asking, "Will the events of today's siege be spread outside?"

Lord of Julu said in a deep voice, "Rest assured! The participants in this operation are all elite members of the Zhao family. Before leaving, they all swore allegiance with blood and will not spread anything outside!"

"Very well!"

Ying Wuji nodded and said in a deep voice, "Please have the Lord of Julu bring some healing medicine, preferably the kind that can quickly eliminate scars."

"No problem!"

After the Lord of Julu agreed, he turned and went to get the medicine with his men.

Ying Wuji turned around and said, "Elder, you tally up our casualties. Later, all of our severely injured will stay behind and follow the Zhao family back to the Kingdom of Li for recovery. The lightly injured will all use the healing medicine to eliminate all the wounds left by Ji Tong's side, and then use the Zhao family's swords to create some new wounds. Understand!"

Bai Nong's expression froze, knowing that this was to cover up the truth of the battle and make the outside world think that the Bai family had escaped from the Zhao family's attack.

The batch that returned to the Kingdom of Li for recovery could also naturally be treated as casualties.

The relationship between friend and foe was already very clear.

But... how did things develop to this point?

He took a deep breath and asked, "Master of the house, what exactly is the situation?"

Ying Wuji thought of Zhao Ning's appearance, covered in wounds, and a hint of pain flashed between his brows. "There is no deep-seated enmity between the Zhao family and the Bai family, but there were some misunderstandings incited by Ji Tong. It was only after His Highness advised against it that we turned hostility into friendship. Do you understand?"

Bai Nong: "......"

His expression was somewhat complicated.

The feeling of fleeing from the Kingdom of Li was more eager before.

Now, he felt more inferior.

Thousands of years ago, the Bai family was exiled by the human race.

Thousands of years later, the Bai family was betrayed by the Kingdom of Qian.

That was why they felt that no one could be trusted. After so long, they were always on edge and ready to flee.

But after falling into dire straits, the Kingdom of Li was ready to let them go.

Although there were some twists and turns, the Bai family could leave.

And when they left, they had more than three thousand excellent disciples than when they arrived.

Although there were some losses, they were not caused by the Zhao family.

The Bai family was proud and believed that they were the guides of the human race, but they were not ungrateful people.

In the current situation, each of them felt heavy-hearted.

A quarter of an hour later.

The casualties were counted, and Zhao Du also sent people with medicinal herbs.

Under the double effect of the priceless herbs and secret methods, the old wounds quickly disappeared, and then new wounds were added with the Zhao family's swords. After a simple bandaging, everything was ready.

Ying Wuji looked up at the stormy night sky, tightly gripping the broken formation zhang in his right hand.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly, "Prepare to set off!"

Except for the three to four hundred who were killed or severely injured and staying in Li, all the people of the Bai family stood up straight.

The new recruits had changed a lot after this battle.

Ying Wuji felt a bit emotional. The ten thousand elite troops under Ji Tong were quite impressive. They had been through so much and were still able to cause casualties on their side while being attacked from both sides.

It was worth noting that although his side was made up of new recruits, all of them were above the fourth-grade spirit embryo, and half of them had mastered the earth-level spells.

And on Zhao's side, there was also the support of the formation's pressure.

With Ji Tong's strength, he coveted the resources of the human race.

They must find a way to get the lion's share of these resources.

The prerequisite for getting the lion's share was to make a big show in the battle against the demons.

But with their current strength, it might not be enough.

He took a deep breath.

With a command.

More than four thousand people set off mightily to the south.

...

Unconsciously.

It was almost midnight.The thunderous roar that enveloped the mountains for hundreds of miles made it impossible for countless people to sleep.

The terrifying pressure made even the powerful cultivators of various countries feel a faint sense of fear in their hearts.

Camp of Kingdom Chu.

Mi Xingli looked into the sky covered with thunderclouds, feeling palpitations with every flash of lightning.

If Kingdom Chu could control this grand formation, they wouldn't be in such a predicament due to the demonic threat.

But now.

Ying Wuji and a few thousand people were facing a grand formation that even tens of thousands of troops might not be able to withstand. How could there be any hope of survival?

She could only hope that he wasn't facing an opponent too strong, at least giving the reincarnation bug a chance to escape.

But Bai Yi and Hua Chao were also in the ranks. She didn't know how Ying Wuji would react when he found out that he had lost two loved ones.

The thunderstorm was far away.

The camp of Kingdom Chu didn't even feel the night wind, let alone the rain.

But Mi Xingli still felt the cold rain hitting her face, as if she were in the valley where the heavy rain poured.

The King of Chu, draped in a large cloak, walked out of the tent and sighed when he saw his daughter still gazing into the distance.

"The foundation of Kingdom Li is profound. If this grand formation were placed on the battlefield, even our elite forces of Kingdom Chu would suffer heavy losses. The Bai family... will only meet a complete annihilation! Don't look, it will only add to your worries!"

"Okay!"

Mi Xingli nodded heavily. Although she had only watched for less than two hours, she already felt mentally exhausted.

She was anxious.

But being anxious was of no use.

This grand formation was the most elite army of Kingdom Chu, and it would be difficult to break through without nearly a hundred thousand people.

Perhaps... the only thing she could do was to wait for everything to settle and secretly sneak into that place to find the trace of the reincarnation bug.

But just as she turned to leave.

"Boom!"

A loud noise, as if the sky and earth were tearing apart.

The mountainous area a hundred miles away, which was like an inverted jade bowl with thunderstorms swirling underneath, now seemed to have been shattered by a devastating blow.

The surging power erupted instantly, and the fierce wind, accompanied by thunder and torrential rain, swept in all directions.

The distance of a hundred miles was covered in an instant.

"The rain poured down, hitting the tents and making a dense 'pattering' sound.

Many sleepless soldiers crawled out of their tents, looking at the distance with uncertainty.

Mi Xingli's beautiful eyes widened, showing a hint of shock and disbelief. Although she didn't know what had happened, it was still a thousand times better than the worst-case scenario of complete silence.

At least, Ying Wuji wasn't crushed to death in the formation.

Even if he really died, the reincarnation bug could still escape.

And judging from the situation, the Bai family was not the kind of family that could be easily manipulated.

Wuji!

Wuji!

Heh heh, my Wuji...

The King of Chu was also stunned. The grand formation that was previously impregnable had been broken like this?

What kind of trump card did Ying Wuji have?

Or, had the foundation of the Bai family become so profound?

No!

The King of Chu frowned. Could it be that Zhao Ji staged a show of weakness to impress the other countries for Ying Wuji?

But thinking about it, it seemed unlikely.

This formation must have consumed a lot of energy, and there would definitely be bloodshed if the enemy attacked.

How could they pay such a high price just to impress someone who might threaten the throne of Kingdom Li?

The situation in this world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

Combined with the previous performances of Ying Wuque and Nangong Yu...

It's all a show.

Is Kingdom Chu the only one getting beaten up?

...

The reactions of the other countries were also different.

They had already been intimidated by the formation of Kingdom Li and thought that Ying Wuji was bound to die.

But they didn't expect that the grand formation would be broken by Ying Wuji.

They didn't expect that, with the foundation of Kingdom Li, they still couldn't suppress Ying Wuji.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to be happy or not.

It's a good thing that the father and son-in-law have gone their separate ways, otherwise, how big is the potential of Kingdom Li, and how will they face them in the future?

But Ying Wuji only broke the formation, and it's still unknown whether he can escape. If he can escape, which power will he seek refuge with?

They wanted to win him over.

But they didn't dare to act rashly.

Because after the Nine Provinces Sacrifice, Wei and Han made great concessions to Kingdom Li, giving them great authority in order to make them withdraw as soon as possible.

If they tried to win over Ying Wuji now, they might end up fighting with Kingdom Li. There aren't many countries that are currently thinking of fighting with Kingdom Li.

...

There aren't many countries currently thinking of fighting with Kingdom Li.

But that doesn't mean there are none.

Camp of Kingdom Qian.

Ying Wuque looked at the rolling thunderclouds and his face became even darker than the night sky. "He's not dead? Is the Zhao army all useless?"

He clenched his right hand.

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

After comprehending the domain of slaughter, his position in Kingdom Qian had been further elevated.

After Ying Yue confirmed that he had overcome his fear of Ying Wuji, he told this future King of Qian everything.

Knowing the truth, Ying Wuque was actually somewhat hesitant.

The demonic energy, coupled with the restless Bai family, was enough to kill Ying Wuji ten thousand times over.

Although the Bai family's members were all considered geniuses, they had already declined. If even Kingdom Qian couldn't escape, how could they escape from the profound foundation of Kingdom Li?

He was pleased because Ying Wuji was bound to die.

But not completely pleased because Ying Wuji didn't die at his hands.

But looking at the current situation.

The group of useless people from Kingdom Li had failed, and his opportunity had come.Ying Wuque fell into a state of depression and excitement again.

But at this moment, a indifferent voice sounded, "You want to go and kill someone?"

Ying Wuque urgently said, "Yes! Although Ying Wuji escaped this time, his condition must not be good after enduring that great formation. Now King Li must want to pursue him. Doing a favor for both sides would be beneficial."

Ying Yue said lightly, "Do you think the pressure you can give him is greater than the great formation?"

Ying Wuque fell silent.

Even if the pressure given is great, it cannot possibly be greater than the great formation.

The great formation was broken by Ying Wuji with such explosive force, even if it suffered heavy losses, would he be able to leave unscathed?

Ying Yue continued, "Even if you kill him, the losses will definitely not be small. How will you establish your authority in the upcoming battle against the demons?"

Ying Wuque: "..."

Ying Yue continued, "Ji Tong is also there to assist. If you encounter Ji Tong, do you still want to compete with them?"

Ying Wuque: "..."

"Hmph!"

Ying Yue snorted lightly, "Fearlessness is a good thing, but your most important task now is to control the killing intent in your heart. As long as the killing intent can be controlled, you will reach the level of a warrior. You have gained many insights from the Emperor's corpse. Given time, you will be able to leave that burden far behind. Why rush it?"

Ying Wuque's chest rose and fell, he gritted his teeth and clasped his hands, "Thank you for the guidance, Father King!"

"Very good!"

Ying Yue nodded slightly, "In both literary and martial arts, your talent is excellent. But you were misled by your talent before, and your mind was pierced. As long as you are willing to reflect, with Gongsun Di's assistance, you may not fail to become a dominant figure of your generation!"

"Yes! Your child will not disappoint Father King's expectations!"

Ying Wuque nodded heavily.

Although he temporarily did not know what Ying Yue and Ji Tong's cooperation entailed, this was not something he needed to worry about.

He only knew now that he had a bright future.

Even if Ying Wuji is strong, he is now a dog of a bereaved family and cannot possibly compare to his own power.

...

The camp of the Zhou royal family.

Zhou Tianzi did not shelter from the rain, he just stood quietly outside the tent, letting the heavy rain soak him through.

His expression was neither sad nor happy.

Tonight, the performance of Kingdom Li and the Bai family surprised him greatly.

Strong!

Surprisingly strong.

Their performance tonight was enough to make many lords of the states extremely surprised.

But it was still far from his limit.

Zhou Tianzi did not feel panic, but rather some relief, because he felt the upper limit of the Central Plains human race, and there was no way to pose any threat to the Zhou royal family supported by the Tianren race.

The upcoming battle against the demons would completely become a stage for the Zhou royal family's brilliant operation.

After this battle, the world will surely return to the Zhou royal family.

Let the entire Ji clan understand that welcoming the support of the Tianren race is the right path for the human race.

At that time, the Zhou royal family will unite the entire Ji clan, welcome the Tianren race, unify the world, and then suppress the demon race.

At that time, the Zhou royal family will become the most noble existence under the Tianren race, and he has found a way to have offspring with the Tianren race, completely integrating... Isn't that beautiful?

He turned around and asked the eunuch beside him, "Where is the younger brother?"

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Emperor, the King Consort's whereabouts are unknown. We have already sent people to search for him."

"No need!"

Zhou Tianzi smiled faintly and waved his hand, "The King Consort has his own thoughts, let him be, it's not a big deal!"

Although he did not pay much attention to Ji Tong's little actions, he was not completely ignorant.

The reason he did not investigate further was because he believed that these little actions were insignificant in front of the resources of the Tianren race.

Now, he is more concerned about another matter.

"How is the matter of uniting the Ji clan?"

"Reporting to the Emperor!"

The eunuch said quickly, "Our people have already made contact with the insider left by the King Consort, and the materials for repairing the Mu Ye stele have been prepared. It should be successful soon."

Zhou Tianzi nodded slightly, "Very good! From now on, my Zhou royal family will return to the position of co-ruler of the world! The Ji clan will be evergreen for eternity!"

The eunuch was also extremely excited, "The Ji clan will be evergreen for eternity!"

...

The border of Kingdom Li and Kingdom Yan.

To be precise, it used to be the border of Kingdom Yan.

Now this place has been taken over by Kingdom Han, but Kingdom Han did not put up much defense, allowing these people to play their game of border slaughter.

As long as it does not affect the people and farmland of Kingdom Han, it's fine.

It has to be said.

They are running and chasing quite fast.

Coupled with the fact that Luo City is not far from the border, before midnight, Ying Wuji led the Bai family and rushed into the border of Flame Kingdom, only to be immediately protected by a group of people dressed in Flame Kingdom armor.

The Zhao army dared not pursue deeply and could only negotiate with Flame Kingdom at the border.

Flame Kingdom naturally would not hand over the people, and the two sides ended up cursing each other, almost flooding the border with saliva.

In the end, the Zhao family could only leave with gritted teeth, saying that they would definitely wipe out the entire Bai family in the future.

At the Flame Kingdom border camp, everyone was wearing Flame Kingdom armor.

But Ying Wuji was very certain that many of them were Ji Tong's people. The aura emitted by these soldiers was exactly the same as the black-armored warriors from earlier.

Roughly estimated.

There were at least twenty thousand of them.

Who knows how many more are hidden.

This Ji Tong guy really has a thick foundation. These elite soldiers are the best of the best, and any monarch from any country would be envious. His performance in the upcoming battle against the demons may not be lacking.But... with the support of the Tianren Clan, will Zhou Tianzi definitely treat the battle against the demons as a personal stage? Will he give Ji Tong the opportunity to perform?

Ying Wuji was not clear about this, and he didn't have the time to think about it for the time being.

Because his current situation was not particularly comfortable.

Inside the big tent.

There were three other people besides him.

Ji Tong, with a calm expression.

Gu Niang, with a pale face.

And Ji Su, with a smile that was not really a smile.

Especially Gu Niang, who had just captured a high-level demon-level insect, suddenly reappeared in front of him.

Ying Wuji felt something was off.

But it was just a feeling.

Because although Gu Niang's expression was unfriendly, there was no killing intent in her eyes, obviously she knew nothing about the situation inside the formation.

She said in a deep voice, "So, your people all escaped, but our people were completely wiped out!?"

"Are you blind?"

Ying Wuji was a little displeased. "Didn't you see that we also lost hundreds of people?"

Gu Niang snorted, "Hundreds of people? Compared to our over ten thousand, is that a lot? Ying Wuji, I want to ask you, how did you manage to let all of our people perish without a trace? Or is all of this a scheme between you and the Zhao family?"

"A scheme?"

Ying Wuji laughed in anger, and immediately cursed, "Your mother's scheme! To set up a scheme and create such a big battle? Are the deaths of ten thousand of you enough to cover the cost of this big battle? Can't you see the injuries on my body, can't you see how miserable my subordinates are? If you don't want to see, then stick your eyes back in your ass."

Gu Niang was furious. "You..."

Ying Wuji looked at Ji Tong. "Ji Tong, manage your subordinates! The one who promised to spare no effort before was you. Although we have suffered some losses this time, we have basically all escaped. I respect your integrity. But if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to lower the price, you don't have to!"

Although Ji Tong had doubts, he couldn't show it in this situation.

Some words had already been said by Gu Niang.

"Gu Niang! Ying Xiaoxiong is our ally, don't let your emotions control you. Don't ruin the harmony between allies. You just lost a child, so focus on healing!"

Ji Tong's face was warm and smiling, then he looked at Ying Wuji. "Ying Xiaoxiong, don't misunderstand, we don't blame you. It's just that the losses this time are really heavy. If possible, I hope you can explain the situation in the formation."

After speaking, he gently lifted his right hand.

A plate of healing elixir floated in front of Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji didn't hesitate, he drank it in one gulp, and didn't avoid his question, directly presenting the explanation he had prepared long ago.

The general idea was that Gu Niang had been hiding her insect, unwilling to communicate with him, and he had been solely focused on the safety of the Bai family, which had repeatedly been hindered in strength.

In short, Gu Niang was not sincere.

They had been forced to retreat step by step, until they were pushed to a dead end.

Then Zhao Ji summoned him, and he thought it was a trap, so he didn't want to go, but Zhao Ji threatened his wife and children's lives.

He had no choice but to accept the summons, but he left a contingency plan and only sent an external avatar over.

Sure enough.

Zhao Ji made a ruthless move and destroyed one of his external avatars.

This experience finally made Gu Niang believe that Ying Wuji was on their side.

In the end.

Gu Niang used her last move.

The Bai family also revealed their trump cards, and with Ying Wuji's expertise in the formation and the extreme communication of the dead, they finally broke through the formation with great effort.

The move that Gu Niang used would burn up all her life force, so it was normal that no one escaped.

Ji Tong and Gu Niang looked at each other.

Wow!

This process seemed flawless.

At least, the control over Gu Niang's character was very accurate.

Could it be that the truth was really like this?

Ji Tong signaled to Gu Niang with his eyes.

Gu Niang said in a deep voice, "It does make sense! But I still have two questions that need clarification from you. As long as what you say is correct, I will apologize to you immediately!"

Ying Wuji snorted, "Go ahead!"

Gu Niang frowned, "According to my previous plan, I would have placed the same insects on a considerable number of Bai family disciples, but looking at the number of people who successfully escaped..."

"You still have the nerve to say that!"

Ying Wuji's face looked unfriendly. "Do you think we can't see through your petty tricks? Do you really think that the Bai family's accumulation over thousands of years in the foreign domain is nothing?"

Gu Niang was shocked, "Don't talk nonsense! This is the innate spell that the Gu clan can only comprehend when they reach the level of a great demon. There are only a handful of us who have transformed from insects to demons. How could your Bai family..."

"I don't believe it!"

Ying Wuji interrupted, and casually threw her a jade slip. "Take a look and you'll know."

Gu Niang took the jade slip and sank into consciousness.

Her face was instantly filled with shock.

Because this was the "Egg Laying Technique" that she had comprehended when she broke through to the level of a great demon, and it was exactly the same...

The depth of the Bai family's heritage.

It was truly terrifying!

Ying Wuji sneered, "There's one more question, ask it quickly!"

Gu Niang's face looked unpleasant, "I have a spiritual cultivation method. Even if the child dies, I can still escape secretly. At that time, the battle must have been extremely fierce, and it would have been difficult for anyone to watch me, but my child didn't even have a remnant soul to escape. How do you explain this?"

"Hmph, it's simple!"

Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Because I killed your child!"

"What!"

Gu Niang was furious, she didn't expect him to be so arrogant, and her voice became sharp, "You did it because you were afraid that we would know the situation inside?"

Ying Wuji didn't indulge her at all, and cursed loudly, "Are you completely clueless? First, you collaborate with me, holding back your trump card, causing so many of our people to die.

You even tried to secretly poison our Bai family disciples with your gu. If we weren't so experienced, we would have been doomed by now.

Damn it!

We, the Bai family, sincerely cooperated with you, and in the end, it was all your schemes.

You feel wronged because I destroyed one of your larvae?

It's only because of Ji Tong's face, and the fact that most of us managed to escape, that I don't want to argue with you.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a larva, I would kill you yourself!

I didn't want to bring it up out of respect for our alliance, and yet you have the nerve to feel aggrieved first.

Pah!

Disgusting!

Have some shame, will you?"

Gu Niang: "......"

Ji Tong: "......"

Reasonable!

Too reasonable!

It perfectly fits Ying Wuji's image of never letting any offense go unavenged.

He laughed and tried to smooth things over, "Don't blame her, young brother Ying. She did it to help you escape. Sacrificing a part of the people was an inevitable choice..."

Ying Wuji waved his hand dismissively, "Don't fucking explain to me. I was perfectly fine as a son-in-law, and you trapped me into this mess. After barely escaping with my life, I end up being interrogated like a criminal.

You're just taking advantage of the fact that I have nowhere else to go!

We want half of the benefits from the Celestial Clan!

Otherwise, I don't mind betting all of the Bai family's fortune to fight an internal war with you!"

It was clear.

He was so angry that he was losing his reason.

Ji Tong quickly stood up, smiling as he put an arm around Ying Wuji's shoulder and walked towards the tent's exit, "Don't think like that! Although there are misunderstandings, we all aim for a common goal in the future. There's no need to be upset over this. I've already prepared a resting camp for you, let me take you there to rest!"

Although Ying Wuji was far from being truly one of his own,

He was already a qualified ally.

At least Ji Tong was certain that Ying Wuji had completely severed ties with the Kingdom Li, except for the possibility of being coerced by the Kingdom Li using his wife and children, but there was a limit to what he would do, after all, this man could be driven to desperate actions.

He needed to be appeased!

Once outside the tent,

Ying Wuji didn't give him a good look, "Cut the crap! We want half of the Celestial Clan's benefits!"

Ji Tong didn't refuse or promise, but just smiled and gestured around, "It's not that I don't want to promise you, but as you can see, I have so many people under me. We just lost ten thousand, there are twenty thousand here, and tens of thousands elsewhere, all waiting for resources. These resources, we have to fight for our lives against the Zhou royal family in the Demon Subjugation War. If we just give you half for nothing, even if I'm willing, they won't be!"

"Oh..."

Ying Wuji was slightly startled, this sly dog still had forces hidden.

He understood, although Ji Tong was smiling, the implication was very clear.

Might makes right!

Reluctantly, he nodded, "Got it, the capable should bear more burdens, right?"

Ji Tong smiled, "Exactly!"

Ying Wuji's expression soured, but he didn't continue to argue, "So be it, I'm going into seclusion. I hope you remember your words, so you don't deny it when I take the majority of the resources later!"

With that,

He turned and entered his tent.

Gu Niang came out, "Master, he..."

Ji Tong spoke with a gentle smile, "No worries! The more mercenary he is, the better for us. If we gave the Bai family a few more decades to develop disciples, they might truly threaten our position. But as they are now, they can only follow our lead. I'm only afraid they're not strong enough! Ying Wuji is indeed a rare talent, but right now... he's too weak!"

Gu Niang nodded firmly, "Yes!"

...

In the camp,

Ying Wuji made sure everyone was settled, then returned to his own tent.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and looked at his stats.

After his father-in-law had given him a boost,

His Soldier Sacrifice value finally reached eleven digits.

He could now break through with Han Juan.

Pseudo-Saint!

He drew out his Hanguang Sword and summoned Han Juan.

Han Juan yawned, "Brother Ying, what's up so late?"

Ying Wuji chuckled, "I'm about to do something that will thrill you to no end."

Han Juan: "???"
