Mi Xingli held Ying Wuji's hand and bit it for a long time before letting go.

Ying Wuji quickly looked at the back of his hand and saw a row of deep bite marks.

Sss...

This girl is really ruthless!

If it weren't for Hua Chao being here, she wouldn't have just bitten his hand.

But to be fair.

Her teeth are quite sharp.

Her lips are very moist.

"You were born in the year of the dog!"

Ying Wuji scolded.

Mi Xingli looked at him with a huff, "So you originally planned to join my Kingdom Chu, why are you still angry at me?"

"Was I angry at you?"

Ying Wuji shrugged, pointing to his black and gold battle armor, "If it weren't for my wit, could I have gotten this battle armor for free?"

Mi Xingli looked at the black and gold battle armor and felt that Ying Wuji did seem to have a plan.

The way he handled it seemed to be no problem.

But... this battle armor looks like it should weigh thousands of pounds?

This kid is wearing it and still seems to have a feeling of lifting it effortlessly.

He's really something...

She subconsciously bit her lip.

Ying Wuji: "..."

Mi Xingli quickly looked away, "Alright! I won't blame you for now. You don't want this reincarnation bug?"

Ying Wuji grinned, "This thing is the treasure of your Chu royal family. If I take it, I'll owe the Chu royal family for the rest of my life."

Mi Xingli gave him a look, "Then why did you want it last time?"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "The atmosphere was already set, if I didn't want it, wouldn't it hurt the feelings?"

Mi Xingli: "..."

Come to think of it.

She recalled the thunderous momentum when Ying Wuji broke the formation that night, and he probably had a fair chance of escaping at the beginning.

For someone like him who values family, the reincarnation bug is indeed something he could take or leave.

This kid is quite good at being a person.

Returning the reincarnation bug is also the right thing to do.

But Mi Xingli still felt a sense of inexplicable loss.

It feels like Ying Wuji is a young man who has been hurt by a scumbag woman and has become no longer innocent, but in the end, he has to bear it himself.

Life is truly as lonely as snow.

"Alright!"

Mi Xingli sighed lightly, took the reincarnation bug and said, "By the way! The Demon Suppression Conference will be held at the You hour tonight. Before that, my father wants to invite you to a banquet. Bring Bai Yi and Hua Chao with you!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Chao quickly said, "I won't go. Now the Bai family is under Wuji's control. If there's anything, you can just talk to him directly."

Mi Xingli's face was a bit embarrassed. She knew what would be brought up at the banquet, and Hua Chao should also know what would be brought up at the banquet.

It was a bit awkward for a moment.

There was a hint of apology in her eyes as she looked at Hua Chao.

The relationship between the two of them used to be very close, and it really felt like stealing something.

Bai Yi smiled and nodded, "I won't go either. This banquet will definitely be about the upcoming major battle. It's not convenient for us women to participate. We can gather again after the Demon Suppression Battle is over, right?"

"Okay, okay!"

Mi Xingli nodded and arched her hand to the crowd, "In that case, I'll take my leave first!"

With that, she left with a complicated expression.

Ying Wuji turned to Bai Nong, "Elder Nong..."

Bai Nong: "..."

He sighed and took off Ying Wuji's armor again.

It was really a win to be able to get this battle armor.

The combat power it could exert on the battlefield would not be inferior to a Heavenly-ranked battle armor, but it was too troublesome to put on and take off.

But there was no other way.

This black and gold armor was produced in the depths of the earth, combining the thickness of the earth, the inner flame, and the toughness of mysterious iron.

Ordinary things simply couldn't leave a mark on it, so it was very difficult to inscribe formation patterns on it.

He smiled and said, "Wuji! After the Demon Suppression Battle, hand this battle armor over to me and the Second Elder. We have secret techniques to improve it."

"Then I'll trouble Elder Nong!"

Ying Wuji smiled and nodded, "By the way, Elder Nong, what do you think of the special envoy of the Celestial Clan just now?"

Bai Nong thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "Quite arrogant, quite in line with my temperament, but these things don't really show anything. Naturally, I still lean towards welcoming the Celestial Clan, but now that the Bai family is under your control, we will follow your orders."

Ying Wuji smirked, "No need to rush to make a decision. If the Demon Suppression Battle shows that the Demon Clan is too fierce, I might just kneel to the Celestial Clan."

Bai Nong was speechless, thinking he was just joking.

Another stick of incense passed.

The armor was finally removed.

Ying Wuji had lunch at the Bai family's camp with Bai Yi and Hua Chao, then hurriedly left the Bai family's camp.

At this moment, there were no ordinary people left in Yucheng.

The streets were full of soldiers from various countries boasting under the shade of trees.

It was often a few soldiers from other countries chatting with a few soldiers from the Kingdom Chu, talking about the demon disaster in Chu.Although this demon disaster has made the Kingdom Chu almost a laughingstock, the Kingdom Chu is still a real powerhouse. For over a hundred years, there has never been a strong country with the same dominance as the Kingdom Li and Chu. Now that the Kingdom Li is divided into three, the Kingdom Chu has the most glorious historical achievements.

Even with the constant infighting, it is not a country that anyone dares to underestimate.

But even such a powerful Kingdom Chu is still struggling against the demon disaster, and is even close to being defeated.

So, when chatting, the soldiers of the Kingdom Chu often look fearful, and soldiers from other countries can mock them at first, but they are quickly infected by the fearful atmosphere and the terrifying scenes described.

Even though the sun is shining today, the whole street seems to be covered in a gloomy and cold tone.

Ying Wuji frowned as he listened, this kind of fear before the battle is not acceptable!

But he couldn't persuade anyone.

No investigation, no right to speak. You can't point fingers at those who have been in battle without having fought yourself.

The atmosphere is just not good.

Arriving outside the city gate, Ying Wuji took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket and ignited it with his energy. In the next moment, the talisman paper turned into a wisp of flying ash, which formed a cloud of smoke in the air and eventually formed an arrow pointing in a direction.

He smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Then he waved his long sword and directly opened a crack in space, stepping in with big strides.

...

Yucheng and the three surrounding cities are all military strongholds, considered the second line of defense on the border between Chu Yan and Chu Qi.

The city is magnificent, but not very prosperous. Most of the outskirts of the city are desolate and bleak.

However, in the wilderness, a tavern looks quite lively.

"Open for business, open for business!"

"Qing Xu, you have to admit defeat. Ying Wuji has already arrived in Yucheng."

"You were so stubborn before, saying that you didn't sense that sword intent. Now that he's here safe and sound, you can't go back on your word!"

"I said, how could one of the Two Saints die so easily? You are really clueless, Qing Xu, you even dared to bet on Ying Wuji's death!"

A group of people dressed in Daoist robes were very lively.

Qing Xu Daoist looked a bit embarrassed, but still somewhat unwilling to admit defeat. He kept saying things like "No one understands gambling better than me" and "This is called risk hedging" in words that no one could understand.

The tavern was filled with a lively atmosphere.

But he still admitted defeat and took out a large bag of silver from his wooden ring, distributing it to the group of Daoists with a pained expression on his face.

As he distributed the silver, he grumbled, "I just can't stand you poor fellows from the Yang Zhu lineage. You don't understand the meaning of friendship first and gambling second. It's fine if we all have fun, but do you really have to take my money?"

On the side, Ying Wuji: "..."

He quietly walked over and patted Wu Shuangxu's shoulder.

Wu Shuangxu turned her head and nodded slightly to indicate, "He's here!"

Ying Wuji pointed at the group of Daoists, "I understand that your Yang Zhu lineage wants to form an alliance with the Tai Shang Sect, but is it really necessary to gather for gambling?"

Wu Shuangxu nodded in agreement, "I also think it's beneath us."

Ying Wuji smirked, "Aren't you going to do something about it?"

"Why should I?"

Wu Shuangxu asked back, then took a pouch from her waist and shook it, making the sound of silver coins clinking inside.

She pointed to the gambling table and then to her own nose, "I'm the one running the game!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Tsk!

A bunch of old rascals.

He has now reached the pseudo-saint realm in his cultivation, and his spiritual awareness is quite terrifying. With just one glance, he can see the cultivation levels of these people.

Two in the Wushen realm.

Seventeen in the Bingren realm.

The few young ones with the lowest cultivation levels are not far from breaking through to the Bingren realm, but they are still making a fuss over a few dozen taels of silver.

Wu Shuangxu sincerely said, "Our Yang Zhu lineage is very poor, and Senior Qing Xu is very wealthy. He's the only one from the Tai Shang Sect here. My senior brothers were originally planning to set him up, but I stopped them. I didn't expect him to be so good at losing."

Ying Wuji: "..."

Fine!

At this moment, Qing Xu Daoist finally finished distributing the money, turned around, and looked at Ying Wuji, "Oh! You kid really came back alive. Come, come, come, catch up with this old Daoist."

As he spoke, he waved his big sleeve.

Ying Wuji instantly felt as if the world around him had been covered with a layer of film, and all his senses became blurred.

He could only faintly hear the cursing of the others.

"Hey! This gambling old thief, how did he take away both of the Two Saints?"

"Stop, leave the people behind!"

"Do you always eat alone?"

The voices became increasingly muffled, and in just a moment, they had completely disappeared.

Ying Wuji looked around at this endless void and couldn't help but praise, "Senior Daoist, impressive technique!"

"It's just some small tricks that aren't worth mentioning!"Qing Xu Daochang smiled and waved his hand, looking at Ying Wuji with surprise: "You kid actually managed to escape intact? What's going on, tell me quickly!"

He didn't dare to intervene directly in the affairs of the dynasty, fearing that the entire Supreme Observer would be affected by the dynasty's energy.

So when King Li wanted to kill Ying Wuji, he also secretly resented King Li for not listening to advice and letting things get to this point.

But he could only watch from the sidelines, worrying day and night, afraid that something would go wrong.

Fortunately, the person came out unscathed.

Ying Wuji grinned: "Actually, the king didn't intend to kill me."

"Oh?"

Qing Xu Daochang frowned, realizing that the situation was not simple, and was prepared to ask more questions.

But Ying Wuji took out a letter from his pocket, interrupting his spellcasting: "This is a letter from the king for you, Daochang."

"Oh?"

Qing Xu Daochang opened the letter, and after reading it, his brow relaxed a lot, and he laughed and scolded, "Zhao Ji is really good at acting, he even fooled me, such a broad-minded person. I knew I couldn't win at gambling!"

Ying Wuji curiously asked, "Do you have a bet with my father?"

He could vaguely guess the general idea of this matter, but he didn't know the specific details of the bet.

"Of course!"

Qing Xu Daochang stroked his beard and smiled, feeling quite pleased. He thought that although the outcome was good, no one knew how much pain Zhao Ji had gone through in his struggle.

If it weren't for the old Daochang waking him up with a stick, who knows how much of a mess it would be now.

But the old Daochang was too proud of himself.

He put his hands on his hips.

Ying Wuji became more interested: "So what is your bet? I'll check it for my father first."

"Go away!"

Qing Xu Daochang pushed him aside: "The bet between me and your father naturally needs to be verified by your father. Your father has already decided where the bet will go, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Alright!"

Ying Wuji shrugged, looking a little disinterested.

Qing Xu Daochang chuckled: "Although we were quite far away that night, we also felt your sword intent. It contains not only light, but also the aura of my good disciple. Hurry and let my disciple out to see."

Ying Wuji waved his hand: "Han Juan just had a breakthrough, it's a good time for him to comprehend a new path of cultivation. As his master, you shouldn't disturb him."

"A new path of cultivation!"

Qing Xu Daochang's eyes lit up. While others thought that the faint aura was emitted by Ying Wuji, as his master, how could he not know what changes had occurred in his good disciple?

The Daoist's new path of cultivation was far ahead of the other schools, and Han Juan's spiritual cultivation was a path he and the sword spirit Containing Light had explored together.

However, they had encountered a bottleneck along the way.

Now, the step Han Juan took, while not necessarily universal, would definitely help the Daoist cultivation system break free from a shackle.

Ying Wuji took out a scroll from his pocket: "The contents are all in here. After he comprehends it, he should write a complete scroll."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Qing Xu Daochang was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, he tucked the scroll into his chest and warned, "Don't tell those arrogant Yang Zhu about this. Look at how arrogant they were just now, I have to act like I'm going back to my old self!"

"No problem!"

Ying Wuji nodded with a smile: "By the way, did your Daoist group have any gains from being here?"

Qing Xu Daochang sighed lightly: "Naturally, we have gained something. The tricks of the demon clan are quite difficult to deal with without the experts of the dynasty. During this time, a few old Daoists have been acting as scouts, and we have found quite a few things."

Ying Wuji's expression became more serious: "What kind of things?"

Qing Xu Daochang sighed: "It's hard to explain for a while, but today, King Chu will convene a meeting to eliminate demons, and he should tell you everything. In short, the strength of the demon clan is very strong, so you must not take it lightly."

"Of course, I won't take it lightly."

Ying Wuji shrugged: "But I still have to tell you something that will make things worse."

Then he told Qing Xu Daochang about the plans of the Tianren Clan, King Zhou, and Ji Tong.

Qing Xu Daochang's face turned pale and then white: "Such scum, pretending to be sages!"

He felt a little powerless.

Before, when he saw the Chu army being defeated like a grandson, although he felt some sympathy, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Because based on the strength the demon clan had shown before, as long as the various countries sent reinforcements, they still had the power to fight.

Although Chu would decline as a result, awakening the human race's crisis awareness against the demon clan was not a bad thing overall. After all, whether a country declined or rose, it was natural, and it had nothing to do with the Daoist.

He never thought.This time, the demon disaster was actually a big chess game behind the scenes.

The various parties playing chess turned over the image of Zhuanxu of the Chu Kingdom to the demon clan, just to establish their own authority?

The sage is not benevolent, treating the people as livestock!

Do these people have any misunderstandings about this saying?

It's really hard to hold back.

Ying Wuji also felt a bit annoyed: "Daoist, can you stop it?"

"I can't stop it!"

Daoist Qing Xu said with a serious face, "Get ready to fight to the death!"

Ying Wuji twitched his mouth: "Has it really come to the point of fighting to the death?"

"What else?"

Daoist Qing Xu snorted, "Each one of them considers themselves extraordinary, but I don't see the temperament of the demon clan being defeated in any of them."

Ying Wuji: "......"

If someone else had said this, he might have doubted it.

But the Daoists are known for their extensive knowledge, and they have been mingling on the border between the human and demon territories for many years, far surpassing the so-called sages in their understanding of the demon clan.

And Daoist Qing Xu is also a rare combat expert. In Han Juan's words, even if he breaks through the false sage, he may not be able to win steadily.

He really has some credibility in saying that he doesn't see these people exploding the demon clan.

Daoist Qing Xu waved his hand: "You should go back and rest first, and prepare well!"

Ying Wuji arched his hand: "You take care too!"

Daoist Qing Xu waved his hand, and the surrounding space dispersed.

Ying Wuji felt a little dizzy, and he appeared directly at the gate of the Yucheng, without giving himself and Yang Zhu a chance to talk.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. I guess Daoist Qing Xu was also anxious to lose, and I don't know how much money he lost.

...

The sun was setting.

Ying Wuji arrived at the Lord's Mansion just in time for dinner.

There was no one else in the mansion, only a dining table filled with delicacies. The atmosphere was not formal at all, but rather like a normal family meal, just a bit more extravagant.

The King of Chu was reading at the desk on the side. The overall temperament of the people of Chu was a bit more wild than the people of Li, and coupled with the burly figure of the King of Chu and his full beard, he looked extremely oppressive. There was quite a difference between his majesty and Zhao Ji's dignity and elegance.

At this moment, the King of Chu looked indifferent.

But there was always a hint of hidden sorrow between his brows.

It's probably because he was driven to distraction by this demon disaster.

"The junior Ying Wuji pays his respects to the King of Chu!"

Ying Wuji arrived at the door and bowed politely.

Setting aside the King of Chu's future boss identity, the King of Chu is also Mi Xingli's father, so he couldn't act as casual as he did with Zhao Ji. He still had to show the proper etiquette.

When the King of Chu heard his voice, he immediately stood up with a smile and personally came out, pulling Ying Wuji's wrist with a smile: "Wuji, no need for so much courtesy! Come in and sit down. We didn't have a chance to chat properly after the Nine Provinces Ceremony last time. Today, you must accompany your uncle for a drink."

With that, he pulled Ying Wuji to the dining table.

His attitude was so affectionate, even to his own son.

As soon as they sat down, the King of Chu called out from behind the screen: "Xiaoxiong, bring the wine."

Xiaoxiong?

Ying Wuji was taken aback, not knowing what the King of Chu was up to.

"Coming!"

A familiar voice came from behind the screen, and soon Mi Xingli came over with a tray of wine.

Today, Mi Xingli was not wearing the usual loose robe.

Instead, she was dressed in palace attire, a proper princess's attire, with a bit less of the tomboyish air and a bit more of the noble and charming air of a princess.

This kind of dress couldn't hide her surging figure at all.

Xiaoxiong?

Ying Wuji was even more puzzled, feeling that she was not so small!

But he quickly realized that the royal family of Chu, with the surname Mi, was known as the Xiong clan internally, to proclaim the identity of the founder of the Chu Kingdom. However, the Xiong clan was weak and had been regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains dynasty, so they called themselves the Mi clan externally, to show their descent from Zhuanxu of the Gao Yang clan.

The King of Chu, Mi Duo, was like this, and so was Mi Xingli.

So, it was normal to call Mi Xingli Xiaoxiong.

Xiong was indeed fierce, but not small.

Mi Xingli seemed to feel a fleeting gaze from Ying Wuji and felt her cheeks heating up.

Strange.

Why would she feel shy?

It must be because she wasn't used to wearing this palace attire, and it had nothing to do with Ying Wuji.

She felt a little annoyed, but with Mi Duo sitting on the side, she could only pour the wine honestly and push one of the cups in front of Ying Wuji.

Mi Duo raised his wine cup and laughed heartily, "Wuji, you've traveled a long way to come to the Chu Kingdom to help. This great righteousness is recognized by both man and heaven. I, as your uncle, am deeply grateful. I toast to you with this cup of wine!"

Ying Wuji smiled, "I should be toasting to my uncle. Since leaving Li, today is the first time I've had a hot meal."

"You two are making it so troublesome with all this thanking back and forth. I'll drink first."Mi Xingli pursed her lips, picked up the wine glass directly, clinked it with two people, and then drank it all in one go.

With his touch, the originally somewhat serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

Mi Duo did not mention official business, and instead, like an elder, inquired about Ying Wuji's well-being. From time to time, he would test his knowledge, and his satisfaction was not concealed in his eyes.

After three rounds of drinks, he smiled and asked, "Wuji, what are your plans for the future? I heard from Xingli that you are quite interested in the Kingdom of Chu, and our Chu Kingdom also needs you. I am not a businessman, and I don't like to haggle over prices. I will be direct with you. The position of marshal is quite high, and I cannot offer it to you immediately. But as long as you demonstrate your military strength, I will do my best to help you rise to power. However, the Chu Kingdom is quite exclusive, and it may not be appropriate for an outsider to enter the court. It depends on what status you enter the court with."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mi Xingli intentionally or unintentionally.

Mi Xingli remained calm, but her heart rate increased significantly out of anticipation, even though she had been working hard to bring about this scene. However, her excitement at this critical moment was more personal than professional.

After all, Ying Wuji was quite likable.

And his physique... was quite strong.

As long as Ying Wuji nodded, it probably wouldn't be long before the two of them slept in the same bed.

It felt a bit strange, a bit embarrassing.

Her gaze flickered, and she subconsciously looked at Ying Wuji.

Her eyes were quite alluring.

Ying Wuji couldn't bear it and took a deep breath, picked up the wine bowl, and stood up, saying, "The King of Chu is a virtuous and heroic figure of the present age. Wuji has drifted through life, regretting not meeting a wise lord. If the King of Chu does not abandon..."

Mi Xingli: (*❦❦)

Is it coming?

Ying Wuji paused and continued, "Wuji is willing to bow as a son to the King!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the mansion fell silent.

Mi Duo: "..."

Mi Xingli: "..."

Her mouth twitched slightly. This kid... did he say the wrong word?

Mi Duo's smile did not diminish, and he looked at Ying Wuji meaningfully. "Just as a son, it may not be enough! I have heard about your close relationship with Xingli. Xingli even gave you the reincarnation insect that I bestowed upon her. How about it? Don't you want to marry her?"

Ying Wuji sighed lightly. "The lady's appearance is stunning, and she is intelligent and deeply affectionate. Which man in the world wouldn't want to marry her? But..."

Mi Xingli quickly smiled to defuse the situation. "Father King! Although Wuji is young, he has experienced a lot. He may have a shadow when it comes to the word 'father-in-law,' so it may not be as good as 'father.'"

"That makes sense! The King of Li is blind and has ruined a good marriage for our Chu Kingdom."

Mi Duo laughed heartily and looked at Ying Wuji with a meaningful gaze. "I have heard some things about you from Xingli. Even if I appoint you as the Great Chu General, you may not truly be at ease. Time is the best judge of character. As time goes on, you will naturally understand that the Chu Kingdom is the place for you to realize your ambitions. However..."

The King of Chu is so open-minded.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but feel pleased, and he immediately bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Father!"

Mi Xingli grinned. "Father King, I remember that Xiang Ding's house is next to my mansion!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Mi Duo raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you just have him switch houses?"

Mi Xingli: "..."

Ying Wuji: "..."

I'm stealing Dingzi's house?

But the King of Chu is also thoughtful. This "looking for another strategy" should also be a strategy of retreat as advancement. Living so close to each other will also make it easier to operate in the future.

He sighed softly in his heart.

To be honest, he was also tempted by Mi Xingli's body, and being the general was indeed the most stable position. But he always felt a bit strange.

The days before leaving Li were so torturous. He remembered it very clearly. He didn't want to go through a similar situation again.

And Zhao Ji's kindness was too heavy. Even if he really married Mi Xingli, when the Kingdom of Li needed him, he would immediately return, and such a situation would definitely occur, it was just a matter of time.

Even if the King of Chu became his father-in-law by then.

It's hard to compare to the Second Star Father-in-law!

This annoying choice, either he would let down the Mi family, or the Mi family would let him down.It's better to eliminate the possibility of this multiple-choice question early.

Moreover, the Second Star Elder is still waiting for the news of his great victory. He can't let the news of his great victory not reach him first, and let him hear that his son-in-law has found a First Star Elder as a backup.

He has too many resources at his disposal, and the Chu Kingdom royal family needs him enough. He has a compromise method for cooperation and win-win.

As for Mi Xiaoniu.

Ying Wuji glanced at Mi Xingli and felt that her eyes were a little red, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Don't mention these things!"

Mi Zhuo laughed heartily, "Wuji, come back and let me tell you about the current situation in Yucheng!"

After that, he began to describe the current situation of the demon troubles in the Chu Kingdom.

Listening to Mi Zhuo's words, Ying Wuji's expression became increasingly heavy. He didn't expect the demon troubles in the Chu Kingdom to have become so serious.

Currently, there are nearly a hundred registered great demons, each with extremely tricky demon techniques. There are even three or four demon kings among them.

The demon tide attacking the city is not the same as a normal human attack. The human army with flying capabilities requires at least a third-grade spirit fetus and must master some flying secret techniques. There is simply no way to create a systematic aerial force.

The underground forces are the same.

But the demon tide is different. Countless demons with wings can fly in formation, enough to cover the sky. The venom they spit and the poisonous needles they shoot down place great pressure on the logistics, as there are many deaths, severe injuries, and disabilities.

While powerful archers can shoot one arrow at a time, there are not so many powerful archers. There are also many who are skilled in digging holes, and although they cannot destroy the city walls in an instant, they still cause great trouble. Every time there is a ceasefire, the craftsmen in the city will go to repair the walls, but how can the repairs be better than the original?

After several repairs, the city walls became increasingly dilapidated.

Even if some formations were urgently inscribed on the city walls, when those large beasts hit the walls, there was a feeling that the city walls were about to collapse.

There are also some demon clans skilled in the art of transformation, often disguised as dead soldiers, sneaking into the city to cause trouble. It's fortunate that the Chu Kingdom has come up with a good way to deal with it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mi Zhuo sighed, "If it weren't for the Thousand Demon Catalog of your Bai family, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to resist until now. It's also ridiculous to think that the Qu family, who used to fight for power in everything, now behaves like loyal ministers, not seeking advancement. The position of marshal is left for them, but they don't take it."

Ying Wuji grinned. External conflicts are always the best medicine for resolving internal conflicts, but the Qu family is really a bit cowardly.

He asked curiously, "So who is the current Demon Marshal?"

Mi Zhuo pointed to himself, "Other than me, who else could it be?"

Ying Wuji: "......"

The Chu Kingdom's king has always had the virtue of leading his troops into battle in person, and it seems that this has not changed.

Mi Zhuo asked, "Wuji! If you were to lead the troops, how confident are you?"

Ying Wuji sighed inwardly. If it were half a month ago, Mi Zhuo would definitely not have asked such a question. Even if he had the inheritance of the Ying and Zhao families, he was still a newcomer to the battlefield, and no matter how strong his strength was, he would still be hard-pressed as a general.

But last time.

It can only be said that the old man had spent a great price to give him a shocking array to break through.

Otherwise, he would only be racking his brains to think of ways to make a contribution, and he would definitely not have such a high level of authority.

He shook his head and said with a smile, "If it were yesterday, I would definitely have answered with seventy percent confidence, but now I don't know how much."

Mi Zhuo frowned, "Tell me more!"

Ying Wuji cleared his throat and detailed what he knew about the demon nest.

After listening, Mi Zhuo and his daughter's faces turned pale.

They didn't know how many demons were currently active in the demon nest, but just these few things forced them to seek help from all the countries in the world.

If Zhou Tianzi is confident of victory, there must be a reason for it.

And there is also Ji Tong, the youngest of the Qu family. If all the demons in the demon nest were released...

"What a good Zhou Tianzi, what a good co-king!"

Because of anger, Mi Zhuo's voice was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

He had heard Mi Xingli say before that the demon troubles in the Chu Kingdom were related to the Flame Kingdom's demon nest, and that Zhou Tianzi was the one who had been suppressing it on behalf of the Chu Kingdom.

But he never dreamed that the demon troubles that were enough to bring down the entire Chu Kingdom were actually planned by Zhou Tianzi.

It's impossible for Zhou Tianzi to stop now.Ji Tong, the lunatic, is not going to stop, and it's impossible.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but ask, "After fighting for so long, have you found any evidence that the demon nest comes from the Flame Kingdom? Where do those demons come from?"

Mi Xingli shook her head with a complicated expression, "We really don't know. The demon tide has never swept across the ground. Every twelfth and fifteenth day, at noon, there will be a small demon nest, and on the night of the full moon, there will be a large demon tide. Before the demon tide appears, there will be a huge object that covers the sky, and then countless demons will appear out of thin air in the shadow-covered area."

"Where does the huge object come from?"

"I don't know!"

"How does the demon tide disperse?"

"When the huge object reappears, regardless of whether the demons are alive or dead, they will all disappear."

"What exactly is that huge object?"

Ying Wuji was a little frightened as he listened. He hadn't been here for long, and had only indirectly heard some rumors. At first, he didn't think much of it, but after hearing Mi Xingli's description, he felt the sense of oppression firsthand.

Mi Xingli stood up and walked outside the mansion, looking at the sky with concern. "Qing Xu Daochang said that it is very likely to be the corpse of the ancient demon god, Kunpeng!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

The demon god is not a realm, but a meaning that is worshipped by countless demons.

In terms of realm, it should be at the top of the demon kings, but its combat power is earth-shattering.

However, Kunpeng has always been solitary and never identified as a demon. In the war between humans and demons thousands of years ago, it hardly showed up.

If Kunpeng were to make a move this time, it would have already crushed everything.

This corpse of Kunpeng seems to play the role of an aircraft carrier, and no one knows what happened to Kunpeng.

Ying Wuji frowned and said, "So, the demon tide comes and goes freely?"

"Yes!"

Mi Xingli looked serious. "This is also the most troublesome thing for us. We can only defend ourselves during the large demon tide on the night of the full moon, but during the small demon tides on the twelfth and twentieth, we still have some strength. However, because of this corpse of Kunpeng, we have completely lost the initiative."

Ying Wuji asked, "Is there no way to investigate the situation inside?"

With this aircraft carrier, the demon nest can come and go as it pleases, completely controlling the initiative.

I wonder what Zhuan Xu and Ji Tong have in mind.

No, they don't need a plan at all.

The official positions of the demon nest were given by them.

After establishing their authority, they can find an opportunity to take back those positions.

These two surnamed Ji are really cunning!

Mi Xingli said in a deep voice, "We've tried! Three strong soldiers have gone in, and a strong cultivator at the Wushen Realm sneaked in, but was discovered by the demon king inside as soon as he arrived. He barely escaped with his life."

"I spent a great price to invite the Confucian saint of the Kingdom of Qi, but he gave up after just one look. He said that although Kunpeng is dead, his flesh still carries the rules of the demon king. It is impossible for a saint to sneak in, and forcing entry will only be rejected by the corpse of Kunpeng."

Ying Wuji: "..."

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough.

Mi Xingli said in a deep voice, "Wuji! I heard that you have mastered the unique skill of the Thirteenth Prince, and are good at concealing your energy..."

Here it comes.

It finally came.

Ying Wuji's mouth twitched. "How did you know that I have the Thirteenth Prince's unique skill?"

Mi Xingli shrugged. "Of course, it was the Thirteenth Prince who told me. Otherwise, who do you think that strong cultivator at the Wushen Realm who barely escaped with his life was?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Oh!

It's the Thirteenth Prince!

No wonder he couldn't find the Thirteenth Prince several times before leaving the Kingdom of Li.

He vaguely remembered the Thirteenth Prince talking about his own past, and looking extremely guilty when he mentioned that Hu Cuihua wanted to use the seal of Zhuan Xu of the Kingdom of Chu. Even though Chu had already forgiven him in the face of the Kingdom of Qian, he had fallen into a lifetime of self-blame.

Now that the seal of Zhuan Xu of the Kingdom of Chu is in trouble, it is only natural for him to come and help.

He's really quick to betray his teammates!

The day after tomorrow is the twelfth day.

What's the difference between this and being reborn and taking the college entrance exam in high school two days later?

Mi Xingli took a deep breath. "If you can find out the truth inside the corpse of Kunpeng, the Kingdom of Chu will definitely treat you as a hero. Although I can't give you the position of marshal for now, on the night of the full moon, all thirty thousand elite soldiers of the royal family will be under your command. Whether the battle ends in victory or defeat, you will be appointed as the general of the Kingdom of Chu!"

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed deeply to Ying Wuji. "Wuji! This heavy task is imposed on you, and I am truly ashamed. It's just that the Kingdom of Chu is in dire straits..."

"Father King!"

Mi Xingli's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "How dangerous is that place? Wuji has just broken through to the Wushen Realm. If you send him there, it's no different from sending him to his death!"

"Xingli!"

The King of Chu spoke in a low voice.

But Mi Xingli did not flinch or avoid his gaze, showing no sign of backing down.

"Why are you so nervous?"Ying Wuji chuckled as he helped Mi Diao up: "This won't do! I've just acknowledged you as my sworn father, and now you're bowing to me. Give it some time, and I might just turn the heavens upside down! I'll take care of the Kunpeng's corpse myself."

Mi Xingli was taken aback and wanted to stop him: "Brother Ying, you..."

Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry! I have plenty of ways to save my own skin!"

How could he seek fame and establish a legacy without taking any risks?

The Kingdom Chu was in peril, but it wasn't a place where just anyone could take advantage of the chaos. Without showing some real achievements, who would be convinced?

His newly acknowledged sworn father did seem to have the intention of treating him as a firefighter.

But the command of thirty thousand royal troops and the promise of being appointed as a high-ranking general regardless of success or failure were enough for him to secure a foothold in the Kingdom Chu.

The corpse of the Kunpeng.

For others, it might be a deadly trap.

But for him, it might not be the case.

He now mastered thousands of techniques for escaping danger, including the invisibility from the seventy-two Earthly Fiend techniques and the Shadowless Stance from the thirty-six Heavenly Gang techniques, on top of his pseudo-saint cultivation. If he wasn't willing to take this risk, he might as well go home and farm instead of dreaming about fame and glory.

"Good!"

Mi Diao was quite moved: "Wuji's righteousness is witnessed by heaven and earth. I won't say much more. After this battle, we shall drink and talk to our hearts' content! The Demon Subjugation Assembly is about to begin, come with me to attend!"

With that, he took Ying Wuji with one hand and Mi Xingli with the other, heading towards the military camp at the city center.

The military camp was already filled with people, with commanders from various countries present.

Nangong Ling.

Ji Tong.

Wu Lie.

Zhao Du.

Ying Wuque...

Wu Lie, due to a life-consuming secret technique, only had three years left to live. Counting from the Sword Immortal Assembly, he should have about a year of life remaining. Resigned to his fate, he added fuel to the fire, advancing to the Soldier Person realm. He came to subdue demons this time to pave the way for Wu Dan's ascension to the throne.

Although Ying Wuque had not made a breakthrough, in order to create momentum for his ascension, he was also placed in the position of the main general, with his deputy being a member of the Ying clan who was a strong Enlightened Spirit realm cultivator.

With his Fetal Transformation realm cultivation, he didn't feel the slightest bit intimidated sitting here.

However, seeing the King of Chu holding Ying Wuji's hand as they approached, his eyes turned red with envy. How could it be that in just one day, Ying Wuji was already receiving the treatment of a son-in-law?

He couldn't help but curse under his breath: "Pah! This servant of three surnames, where did he get such good fortune?"

He was both sour and angry.

Sour because, although his preferences had changed, his aesthetic sense was still intact. He could recognize that Mi Xingli was a rare beauty, and considering the Lady's status, it was obvious she was an excellent match.

Angry because...

Wasn't it agreed that a real man should be with men?

Only sissies go after women, right?

I've become a real man.

What about you?

Such a traitor!

A flash of irritability crossed Ying Wuque's brows, and he subconsciously turned to look at Bai Jie sitting beside him.

Feeling his gaze.

Bai Jie couldn't help but shiver, his buttocks twitching nervously on the chair.
