"Hyah ~! Hyah ~! "
At noon, Li Zexuan didn't even have time to eat lunch. He led Pang Feiji and the other Marquises to meet up with Dugu Feiying, who had just come out of the palace. The army of more than three thousand people rushed out of the city and headed toward the depths of Qinling Mountain.
"Hahaha ~! Feiying ~! I didn't expect to fight alongside you two brothers again. Awesome, awesome ~! "
Li Zexuan and Dugu Feiying walked side by side at the front of the army. Da Bai was very powerful. Its speed was not inferior to Dugu Feiying's horse at all.
"It's my honor to fight alongside you, Lord Jue ~!"
Putting aside his official status, Li Zexuan was a martial arts grandmaster. Dugu Feiying didn't dare to be arrogant and quickly replied humbly.
"Haha ~! What do you mean Lord Jue? If you two brothers didn't save me in time last time, I might have gone to meet the King of Hell ~! "
Li Zexuan looked at Dugu Feiying and laughed. "Feiying, just call me by my name in the future. I still owe you two a drink for what happened last time! After we take down Snake Spirit Mountain, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for a drink ~! "
Dugu Feiying was very happy to gain the friendship of a Martial Arts Master. He quickly said, "My brother and I were just doing our job last time. We don't dare to take credit for it … But the Drunken Immortal Restaurant's wine is famous in Chang 'an. So, let's have a drink together ~! Haha ~! "
Li Zexuan thought that Dugu Feiying would humbly decline, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer. Dugu Feiying was much easier to get along with compared to Dugu Xin's cold personality. Li Zexuan couldn't help but laugh. "Haha ~! Good ~! Feiying is very generous ~! After this battle, we'll drink until we're drunk ~! "
"We'll drink until we're drunk ~! Haha ~! "
…
Snake Spirit Mountain, Seven Cultivators Sect.
"Sect Leader, bad news ~! A large number of soldiers have arrived at the foot of the mountain. Snake Spirit Mountain has been surrounded ~! The exit was also heavily guarded! Just now, a disciple from the kitchen went down the mountain to buy groceries and was caught red-handed by a group of soldiers. The general leading the group said that he would not withdraw his troops unless you hand over the culprit! Now, our sect's people can no longer leave the mountain! "
In the highest hall of the Serpent Spirit Mountain, a green-robed disciple walked in and bowed to Yin Batian.
Although he was mentally prepared, Yin Batian still couldn't help but panic when he heard that the army was coming. He sorted out his thoughts and forced himself to calm down.
"I understand! Immediately pass down the order for all the disciples to be on standby in the previously arranged positions! Whoever dares to invade the sect … will be killed without mercy ~! "
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy. The disciple in green, who was sitting below, was pale and trembling. "Sect … Sect Leader, those people are from the imperial army. If we kill them, won't we … won't we be … Ugh …!"
"Hmph! What's the point of keeping you if you don't obey the Sect Leader's orders ~? "
Yin Batian and Snake King were bold, but that didn't mean that the other ordinary disciples in the sect had the courage to go against the imperial army. Just as the green-robed disciple was about to say 'it's the same as rebelling', a black figure suddenly flashed in from outside the door. As the figure flashed, a thin line of blood appeared on the green-robed disciple's neck. The figure stood still, and Snake King appeared in the hall. He looked at the blood on his spikes, turned around, and coldly said to the disciples in the hall.
"The Seven Cultivators Sect has nurtured you for decades. Now that the sect is under siege, instead of repaying the kindness, you intend to rebel. How despicable ~! From now on, all of you must work together to resist the enemy. If anyone dares to surrender, he will end up like you ~! "
The green-robed disciple just happened to fall to the ground, holding his neck. His blood dyed the ground red, and the temperature in the hall immediately dropped to the freezing point.
"What's wrong ~? My words to the Sect Leader no longer have any effect ~? "
While everyone was silent, Snake King's emotionless voice once again reached everyone's ears. The disciples in the hall immediately came to their senses and trembled as they said, "We obey the Sect Leader's orders ~! We obey the Elder's orders ~! "
"Hmph! Then why aren't you going ~? "
Snake King indifferently glanced at everyone and coldly said.
"Yes ~!"
The disciples in the hall hurriedly rushed out in a line.
Yin Batian sat on the seat of honor and expressionlessly watched Snake King's self-directed performance. At this time, he said, "Junior Brother, have you fully recovered from your injuries ~?"
Snake King shook his head and replied, "I've only recovered 60%! Now that the situation is urgent, how can I be at ease and recuperate alone in the secret chamber ~? "
At this time, he glanced at the green-robed disciple on the ground and bowed to Yin Batian. "I had no choice but to kill Qin Fei earlier to calm the people down. I hope Senior Brother can forgive me ~!"
Clearly, Snake King was also afraid that his overbearing action would make Yin Batian unhappy, so he could only lower his head and beg for forgiveness.
Yin Batian waved his hand and said, "It's fine ~! Ever since Master passed away, although we're called Senior Brother in name, we're as close as real brothers! I won't take such a small matter to heart! The most important thing now is to think of a way to make the imperial court retreat as soon as possible. After all, defending the mountain to death is not a long-term plan! "
"Senior Brother is right ~! However, the reason why the soldiers haven't attacked yet is probably because they already know the power of the Snake Spirit Mountain's poisonous miasma. We don't have to panic too much! Moreover, our sect's food reserves are enough to last for half a year. If we continue to waste time like this, the imperial court won't be able to hold on for long ~! "
Snake King nodded and analyzed the situation for Yin Batian.
"Okay ~! Junior Brother, you should hurry up and recuperate. I'll go down the mountain to negotiate with them ~! "
Yin Batian thought for a while and suddenly decided.
"… Senior Brother, you must be careful ~! If you encounter that brat Li Zexuan, if you can kill him in one move, don't save it for the second move! That brat is evil and ruthless. He'll be a disaster sooner or later if we let him live ~! "
Flying Snake couldn't help but gnash his teeth in hatred when he thought of Li Zexuan. However, his injuries hadn't healed yet, and he could only use less than 60% of his strength at most. He wasn't a match for Li Zexuan at all, so he could only tactfully ask Yin Batian for help.
"Oh ~! Junior Brother, don't worry ~! Although they have a lot of people, they won't be able to stop me if I run away with all my strength ~! As for Li Zexuan, if there's a chance, I'll definitely capture him and use him to threaten the imperial court to retreat ~! "
Although Yin Batian didn't have a big grudge against Li Zexuan, he had his own ideas. He wanted to use Li Zexuan as a breakthrough point to solve the crisis of the Seven Cultivators Sect with the smallest price.
"… Senior Brother is brilliant ~!"
Snake King was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He cupped his hands and flattered him.
