Apart from a slight frown, Si Wuya did not show much of an expression. It was as though he had expected this.
He sat motionlessly on the chair, his left hand pressing on the peacock plume, his thumb moving back and forth on the patterns of the peacock plume.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at Yu Zhenghai.
"You guessed it?"
"Yes."
Si Wuya's reply was simple.
Ever since he recorded the letter, he knew that this day would come. Therefore, he hid the letter very well.
He did not know how many people had guessed this, but … this was the truth.
When Yu Zhenghai was young, he was sold to Lou Lan. He went through many hardships and was eventually tortured by the nobles. He bled to death. The first time he died, he lost 300 years of his life.
The second time he died was after a chaotic battle with his master. Similarly, he lost three hundred years of his lifespan.
He had been cultivating in the Evil Sky Pavilion for 300 years.
If the young man's age was taken into account, even if he was a peak Eight-leaf elite, he would still have to face the great limit of 1,000 years.
As he said, Yu Zhenghai's days were numbered.
Yu Zhenghai said, "It's no big deal … My life has been worth it."
"Eldest Senior Brother, I've always been curious … You clearly don't have much time left, so why are you so determined to take down the Divine Capital?" Si Wuya looked up and said, "Don't use those old excuses of ambition anymore. I wouldn't have asked in the past. Are you going to keep it a secret now?"
This in itself was illogical.
If you don't have many years to live, then what's the point of you occupying the Immortal's Capital?
Working for someone else?
He sat down and said solemnly, "I didn't lie to you … Indeed, I have my reasons. Seventh Junior Brother, it's best if you don't ask about this. I know what I'm doing. "
Si Wuya noticed the change in the way Si Wuya addressed him.
This kind of situation usually meant that his emotions were changing.
Si Wuya chuckled softly before he sighed.
"Eldest Senior Brother, do you know why I want to help you?"
"Helping each other?"
"That's part of the reason …" Si Wuya said slowly, "When I left the Evil Sky Pavilion, I was young and full of vigor. I wanted to make a name for myself and prove myself. Hence, I entered the Divine Capital and became the Grand Tutor. Later on, I realized that these things couldn't satisfy me. I began to study the Ten Terminal Formation, the foundation of the Imperial Family, and the Heaven and Earth Shackles …
"Humans are very insignificant. A person's knowledge is like a circle. As the circle gets bigger, the more things the circle comes into contact with, and the more they fear things that they don't know …
"I used to think that there was no problem in the world that I couldn't solve. I knew the boundaries of Great Yan's nine provinces. I knew how each province and city operated. I also knew the rules of the rising and setting of the sun and the alternating cold and cold … I just didn't know what this world's shackle was."
Yu Zhenghai felt a headache coming on as he listened to her lament.
"It's a good thing that you have such a goal …"
"Eldest Senior Brother … I have my goals, and you have yours as well … Is the Divine Capital your only goal?" Si Wuya returned to the topic at hand.
Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly.
He said, "You will know about this later."
"No matter what, I'm going to conquer the Divine Capital. No one can stop me. After I die … return to the Evil Sky Pavilion and accept master's punishment on my behalf, "Yu Zhenghai said.
"…"
When Si Wuya saw how determined Si Wuya was, he did not probe further.
At that moment, Hua Chongyang appeared outside the hall.
"Sect master, there's an urgent report from Liang Province."
"Come in."
Hua Chongyang hurried into the room.
Before Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya could greet each other, Si Wuya noticed something was amiss with Yu Zhenghai's expression. He asked, "What is it?"
"Something happened in Liang Province."
Hua Chongyang took a deep breath and continued to say, "Wei Zhuoyan colluded with the Other Tribesmen and Rouli to launch a sneak attack on Liang Province's city. Yang Yan, Di Qing, and Bai Yuqing defended Liang Province's city with their lives and were heavily injured! "
His words fell.
The meeting hall was silent for a moment.
Si Wuya and Hua Chongyang could sense Yu Zhenghai's rage.
Yu Zhenghai's expression did indeed change.
However, he did not explode. Instead, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Are the three seriously injured?"
"Bai Yuqing's fine. His cultivation base is the highest, so he'll need to rest for half a year. As for Yang Yan and Di Qing …" Hua Chongyang shook his head. "I'm afraid it'll be difficult for them to stand up again in this lifetime. It's still unknown if they can recover their cultivation bases."
Crack, crack.
Yu Zhenghai clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked.
"Bring them back."
"I've already sent someone to bring them back. However … Although the three of them defended Liang Province with their lives, they'll surely face an even more powerful counterattack. What should we do? "Hua Chongyang appeared worried." I request to head to Liang Province and defend Liang Province's city. "
Yu Zhenghai did not agree to it immediately.
Even the Three Great Protectors were heavily injured. Sending Hua Chongyang alone was equivalent to sending himself to his death.
However, if he did not defend Liang Province, the Other Tribesmen would seize the opportunity to invade. At that time, he would be condemned for all eternity.
"Wise brother … Do you have a brilliant plan?" Yu Zhenghai looked at Si Wuya.
Si Wuya did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Hua Chongyang and asked, "How's the situation in Ji Province?"
"We've basically taken it down … The Divine Capital is the only place left now."
The battle of the Divine Capital was imminent. Most of the Nether Sect's forces were stationed around the Divine Capital.
It was not a coincidence that the Other Tribesmen invaded at this time.
This was also the time to test the Nether Sect.
"Send word to the Penglai Sect, the Fiend Temple, the Blossom Faction, and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect … requesting reinforcements. Mobilize half of the Nether Sect's forces in Jing Province, Yu Province, and Yan Province to defend Liang Province and Yi Province. " Si Wuya ordered decisively. Then, he turned to look at Yu Zhenghai. "I'll mobilize our brothers in the Darknet as well …"
Hua Chongyang was puzzled. "There's no problem mobilizing our sect's members. The Penglai Sect's Brother Huang will help as well. Will the Fiend Temple, the Blossom Faction, and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect help us?"
"Don't worry … These forces have been stuck between the Imperial family and the Nether Sect for a long time. They haven't been able to find a suitable position. Now that Eldest Senior Brother has extended a helping hand, they won't let go of such a great opportunity."
Those who achieved great things must be able to tolerate what others could not.
"What if they turn against us at the last minute?"
"With the Other Tribesmen around, I believe the Fiend Sect has its own path!"
"Alright! Let's do that! "Yu Zhenghai made his decision.
…
Three days later.
A flying chariot flew from Liang Province to Yan Province City.
Three stretchers were carried into the courtyard.
Yu Zhenghai, Hua Chongyang, and Si Wuya welcomed them personally.
The three of them were ghastly pale. Bai Yuqing was the only one who was conscious. Yang Yan and Di Qing were in a deep coma.
Yu Zhenghai frowned.
Although he was the master of a sect, he was flustered and panicked when he saw his good brother who had followed him for many years and fought on the battlefield in such a state.
"Sect … Sect Master … I … I'm useless!" Bai Yuqing wanted to get up, but he was too heavily injured. He only managed to lift his shoulder before he fell back down.
Yu Zhenghai stepped forward and placed his hand on Bai Yuqing's shoulder gently.
He knew he could not afford to panic or lose his composure. He had to be as steady as a rock. He could not lose his composure.
"You've done well." Yu Zhenghai suppressed his emotions and waved his hand.
This was how war worked.
How could there be a battle without bloodshed?
"Sect Master … the Roulian general, Ka … Karol, after recultivating … Seven-leaf! With his witchcraft … we're no match for him! Sect Master, you must be careful of this man! "Bai Yuqing said.
