After bidding farewell to Yun Yuzhen, Sei Itō returned to the Queen's Fleet and rested in the cabin. The next morning, he once again brought the gentle maid Wei Zhenzhen and his personal sword attendant Fu Junzhuo to Yuhang. They took a modified carriage and leisurely moved towards Liyang County City.
"According to the time, Li Jing should still be in Du Fuwei's army as a law enforcement officer." Sei Itō, who was accompanying Wei Zhenzhen on the road, secretly thought to himself.
Liyang, like Danyang and Jiangdu, was an important town along the Yangtze River. It had always been a battleground for those who wanted to control the waterway and the salt ship business. Therefore, it was also one of the most frequent locations for battles in the surrounding counties. Therefore, Sei Itō's group of three saw refugees and villages that had been turned into bandits along the way. Groups of scattered soldiers or rebels were wreaking havoc.
Sei Itō was not polite to these people who had evil thoughts because of the carriage. He directly led his flying sword and displayed the best sword moves from the 《Swordsmanship》 to help Fu Junzhuo kill them one by one, getting rid of evil for the people!
After a few days of killing along the way, Sei Itō's group of three finally arrived at Liyang City. Then, they turned west and headed towards the area where Du Fuwei and his army were fighting. They were looking for Du Fuwei, who was known as Heaven and Earth in One's Sleeves.
Du Fuwei, an ambitious and ruthless man of the underworld. His personality is ferocious, but he is very courageous. When it comes to killing the enemy, he will always take the lead and charge together with the soldiers. That's why even though he is cruel and overbearing, he is also deeply trusted and respected by his soldiers. That's why finding him is not too difficult. They could basically find Du Fuwei, who was tall and strong and could not hide in the crowd.
"Junzhuo, you stay here and take good care of Zhenzhen." Sei Itō ordered after stopping the carriage at a mountaintop and using the prohibition to hide the carriage.
Fu Junzhuo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, Sei Itō did not say anything else. He immediately summoned the newly refined Heavenly Sword from his body. It hovered by his side and transformed into a long sword that was as wide as his feet. Then, he leaped onto the sword and transformed into a rainbow as he shot down towards the battlefield where the Jianghuai Army was fighting.
Although the speed of the flying sword was not as fast as when he used telekinesis to fly, it was still very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was above the two armies. His figure reappeared.
However, at this moment, both sides only cared about killing the enemy and saving their own lives. They did not care if there were immortals or strange creatures in the sky, so no one noticed that a strange fellow had appeared above them.
Sei Itō, who hadn't been noticed, was also happy to have some free time. He made a Taoist Thunder Seal.
"Boom!" The moment Sei Itō made the Thunder Seal, the originally clear sky suddenly exploded with a loud bang. Soon after, a large amount of thin lightning descended from the sky like silver snakes, crackling as it struck the soldiers and the ground below. The soldiers of both armies were struck to the ground.
"Immortal!" A soldier who raised his head to look at the sky subconsciously cried out in alarm.
"The immortal has appeared!"
"There really is an immortal!"
"An immortal …"
A large amount of cries of alarm sounded out from the soldiers of both armies. Soon, it spread throughout the entire army, causing all of the soldiers to involuntarily stop their actions of killing. Following some unknown person's action, they threw away their weapons and knelt down to worship.
For a moment, apart from the hundred or so people who did not believe in ghosts and gods, no one else dared to stand.
Seeing that his actions were quite effective, Sei Itō smiled and nodded his head. He used his telekinesis to control the sword to slowly descend until it finally landed in the empty area that he had created with his lightning technique. He then put the Heavenly Sword back into his body.
"Du Fuwei?" Sei Itō turned his head to look in the direction of the Jianghuai Army. Under the protection of four or five fearful soldiers, there was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with a square face. He wore a large robe with wide sleeves and a tall crown on his head.
"That's me." Du Fuwei fearlessly looked back at Sei Itō and said.
"You have some signs of transforming into a flood dragon." Sei Itō said. Then, he ignored Du Fuwei and turned his head to search among the soldiers under his command. Soon, a heroic looking man who faintly had the aura of a hero appeared in Sei Itō's eyes. At this moment, he was fearlessly sizing up Sei Itō.
Seeing this. Sei Itō faintly smiled and used his telekinesis to teleport that person in front of him.
Seeing this, Du Fuwei's expression did not change, but the light in his eyes quickly flashed twice.
"Are you Li Jing?" Sei Itō smiled as he looked at the young man who had been teleported in front of him and asked with a slightly stunned expression.
"Yes." Li Jing's expression was still fearless as he cupped his fists and replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"It's good that it's you." Sei Itō nodded and smiled.
"Both sides will stop fighting for today. If you want to fight, let's do it tomorrow. Disperse." Then, Sei Itō used the Lion's Roar to cause his voice to resound in everyone's ears on the battlefield.
"The two of you will come with me first." Then, Sei Itō did not care about what the soldiers and generals of the two armies thought. He turned his head and spoke to Li Jing and Du Fuwei.
After speaking, he used his telekinesis to wrap Li Jing and Du Fuwei's bodies and brought them up from the ground in an instant. Then, under the gaze of all the soldiers present, he used telekinesis to teleport and disappeared from the sky.
In the next moment, Sei Itō, Du Fuwei, and Li Jing's figures appeared on the small hill where the carriage was parked.
Du Fuwei and Li Jing, who felt the two strange techniques of flying and teleportation, were shocked. They believed 60 to 70 percent of Sei Itō's identity as an Immortal. As for the remaining 30 to 30 percent, it was because of their instinctive skepticism of the world view and knowledge. It was not a simple strange technique that could work.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a talented person in my army. It's my fault." Du Fuwei, who was secretly suppressing the fear in his heart, sized up the young Li Jing beside him and said boldly.
"Lord Du is busy every day. It's normal for you to make a mistake." Li Jing said politely.
Then, Li Jing turned his head to look at Sei Itō and asked, "May I know why this Immortal Master called Lord Du and me here …?"
Sei Itō's eyes looked away and expanded the figures of Du Fuwei and Li Jing. He said bluntly, "I want to calm the chaotic world and complete the great merit of saving the world. So, I need the two of you to help me!"
Hearing Sei Itō's words, Du Fuwei and Li Jing instantly fell silent and did not answer.
"It's not impossible for me to help you. But I want to know what benefits I can get. " After a while, Du Fuwei's eyes flickered and he broke the silence first. "You can't expect me to work for you for free just because of what you said."
"Benefits? Is being able to enjoy the rest of my life a benefit? " Sei Itō looked at Du Fuwei with a cold smile. Then, without waiting for Du Fuwei to speak, he continued, "According to your fate, you will inevitably die in your old age. You won't even be able to pass down the incense of your descendants. After helping me, although it can't be said that there will be no disasters, at least you can die of old age. If you still want to have one or two children, I can help you achieve it. "
"What a joke. Although I, Old Du, really don't understand your previous methods and don't understand the mysteries you speak of, I don't believe in the legends of the Jianghu. However, I, Old Du, have never believed in the fate spoken by the swindlers of Jianghu. How could I be scared by your empty words? If you can't promise me some substantial benefits, then even if I have to risk it all, I will still try out the methods of your so-called Immortal Master. "Du Fuwei's expression was cold. His aura flourished, and his clothes fiercely fluttered as he shouted.
"Heh ~" Sei Itō sneered. He ignored Du Fuwei's aura and turned to look at Li Jing, who had been silent all this time. He asked, "What about you?"
"Immortal Master, please explain some things clearly. Otherwise, forgive Li Jing for not being able to comply." Li Jing cupped his fists and replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"That's true." Sei Itō smiled and said, "Good, I'll explain it to you so that you won't be tempted by others to do something you shouldn't do in the future."
"As for you, since you want to fight, I'll give you an opponent." Sei Itō looked at Du Fuwei, whose aura was slightly sluggish, and said.
After he finished speaking, Sei Itō didn't do anything. A female figure in strange clothes immediately appeared beside him.
"Ah Cheng." Ya Ye, who had just appeared, greeted.
Sei Itō pointed at Du Fuwei with his chin and smiled at Ya Ye, who was beside him. "Hey, this is the opponent I chose for you."
"Is it this guy? I got it. " Ya Ye, who was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white tank top, with her long brown hair tied into a simple ponytail, looked at Du Fuwei and said.
Then, with a flip of her wrist, a Japanese-style katana immediately appeared in her hand. With Ya Ye's movements, it formed a saber block.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Sei Itō waved his arm and a spatial energy instantly surrounded Ya Ye and Du Fuwei. It separated the space they were in from the main body and was limited in size. It became a temporary independent small space for the two of them to fight.
"Okay, let me tell you about the forces under me." Other than paying attention to Ya Ye's situation, Sei Itō ignored the other side and looked at Li Jing.
"I'll now tell you my identity in the present world. My name is Chen Xicheng. I'm the newly promoted Left Wuwei General and the Chang 'an City Guard."
Hearing Sei Itō's self-introduction, Li Jing's pupils shrank slightly and he was shocked. At the same time, he felt that what he was about to hear next might shock him even more and make him unable to get off the pirate ship! However, in this situation where he was the meat on the chopping block, Li Jing had no choice but to continue listening to Sei Itō.
Sure enough, the following content really shocked Li Jing, who had always been ambitious. He had never expected that the Left Wuwei General in front of him, who was seen by outsiders as not doing his job, would have such great power. Not only did he use his name to take over the entire Chang 'an, but he also secretly controlled the main forces in Luoyang, Xingyang Wagang, Peng, and Liang Cities, and Li Zitong of Donghai County, which were the Yellow River region. He blocked the Li Family, which he secretly favored, from entering Chang' an and fighting for the world. Recently, he had also taken down the Jukun Gang and Haisha Gang, which were water gangs in the Yangtze River region, to block the southwest. If he was dealing with Du Fuwei now, the Yangtze River's water transport route would fall into the hands of the other party. If the other party could obtain horses …
"Hiss …" Li Jing sucked in a breath of cold air when he thought of certain possibilities.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I've already arranged for people to prepare to hand over the records of the Dongming Sect's weapons transactions to the Dugu Family. Then, we'll use them to cause chaos in the imperial court and even force some people to do something desperate. They'll cut off the last thread of fate and complete the overall situation of a group of dragons chasing after the cauldron. At that time, we'll truly appear in the world and shock the world," Sei Itō said with a smile as he looked at Li Jing.
"It seems like I have no other choice." Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "He even told me such a secret. He's clearly forcing me to agree.
"There's no other way. Who asked you to be so talented?" Sei Itō said with a smile.
Then, Sei Itō flipped his hand and took out a contract scroll made of animal skin and handed it to Li Jing. "However, we'll use peaceful means before resorting to force. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, sign this contract."
"I used the skin of an otherworldly beast and combined it with witchcraft, Taoist secret techniques, and some other otherworldly secret techniques to refine this. It's not an ordinary item. You have to understand this so that we won't have any misunderstandings in the future."
"Is there really an otherworldly world?" Li Jing roughly checked the scroll in his hand and didn't find anything strange. He asked curiously.
"The world is vast. It's not just the world you're in," Sei Itō said mysteriously.
Seeing that Sei Itō didn't explain in detail, Li Jing didn't pursue the matter. He followed the instructions on the contract scroll and used his own blood to write his name on the scroll — Li Jing!
In the next moment, a dim light suddenly bloomed from the scroll and strangely absorbed all the blood on the scroll. Then, it condensed into a ray of light and disappeared into Li Jing's forehead, who couldn't dodge.
"It's indeed strange." Li Jing sighed.
Sei Itō smiled and put away the scroll that Li Jing handed over. Then, he turned around and watched the battle between Ya Ye and Du Fuwei in the independent space with Li Jing, Fu Junzhuo, and Wei Zhenzhen.
It had to be said that Old Du was indeed one of the strongest people in the rebel army. His martial arts realm was firmly in the upper echelons of the first-class. His attacking methods were very exaggerated and strange, especially with the help of the two fine iron arm guards with small barbs under his big sleeves. It more or less made Ya Ye, who didn't see the Dragon's Eye, a little passive and unable to find a way to attack.
"This Heaven and Earth in One's Sleeves really doesn't fit the style of Taoism." Sei Itō shook his head and said, "But this is also good. It's a good opportunity to use Du Fuwei's pressure to force out Ya Ye's potential and let her break through."
