PS: Part 2
"Snatch the balance of the Three Realms," Yan Li answered.
"Snatch?" Ji Zhiyuan was confused.
"The balance of the Three Realms?" Liumu Bingjian frowned. "What do we have to do with the balance of the Three Realms?"
"A lot," Yan Li said. "Imagine what will happen to us if we fall into Li Xieyi's hands."
"Snatch our souls?" Liumu Bingjian guessed. "After all, we've killed many demons. We're all on the wanted list. It's normal for us to end up like this."
Yan Li shook his head and joked, "Bingjian, are you frozen? That's a simple deduction."
Ji Zhiyuan said, "We're more valuable alive than dead."
Seeing this, Flowing Wood Ice immediately understood, "So it's like that. Li Xieyi wants to use us as hostages to negotiate with the Nine Elites! Everything she's done is for this final goal. "
Yan Li nodded. "If we're captured, the Nine Elites only have two choices. They can either attack the Demonic Realm or agree to the harsh conditions the Demonic Realm proposes. If I'm not wrong, Li Xieyi wants a piece of land in the Immortal Realm. It depends on how big her appetite is. "
Liumu Bingjian frowned. "This is the greatest insult to the Nine Elites. It's also trampling on the dignity of Confucian orthodoxy. Not only does she want land, but she also wants the Three Realms to know that the Nine Elites of Confucian orthodoxy are nothing more than this! Times have changed. Has the Demonic Realm's ambition reached a point where it can no longer be contained? " She was a little worried. Even she could not move an inch in the Demonic Realm that was filled with demonic miasma. It took a lot of her strength to come out like this.
She suddenly thought of another question. "Brother Yan, there's something I don't know if I should ask."
"If I say I shouldn't ask, you won't ask?" Yan Li smiled.
"Of course not." Liumu Bingjian asked seriously, "How would Li Xieyi know that you have the ability to protect us? The all-out attack of Fang Xuanchuo's remaining body had absorbed such a terrifying amount of Devilish Qi. If any accident were to happen, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain? In other words, why did she force you to act? "
"Because she wants you to see the real me," Yan Li said.
"The real Brother Yan?" Liumu Bingjian was confused.
Yan Li shook his head with a smile and said, "You will know in the future. Telling you now will only add to your troubles. Since we know about Li Xueyi's plan, we can't let her do as she wishes. Let's go back and discuss how to escape from the Demon World. "
…
The demon army had retreated and the Red Rock Stronghold had been defended. Because the Red Rock City was mostly intact, it did not take much effort to rebuild it. This should have been a great victory. However, the conference hall of the stronghold was filled with a silent depression.
True Lord Mirage sat at the head of the table with a frosty expression. In his hand was a letter filled with the fragrance of a beautiful woman. There was only one sentence on the letter: We will send the hostages to a place three thousand miles away from the Red Rock City.
These few words were eye-catching. Everyone who saw it could understand it with just a little thought.
"Good, good!" Baili Junmo was so angry that he laughed. He threw the letter away and pointed at Zhu Rong and the other elders who were in charge of breaking the array. "You guys are really good. So now, that demoness wants three thousand miles of land. Do you agree or not? "
"Of, of course not!" An elder from the Mystic God Sect said agitatedly, "True Lord, please understand. This is the face of our Confucian orthodoxy. If we really give it up, how can we raise our heads in the Three Realms in the future!"
"Then tell me, what should we do with those people?" Baili Junmo said coldly.
The elder from the Mystic God Sect was speechless. Since there was no one from the Mystic God Sect among those people, he did not care.
"Who can tell me?" Baili Junmo's eyes flashed as he looked at everyone in the conference hall. However, seeing that most of them did not seem to be involved, he scolded angrily, "All of you are useless! You can't even find out who the spy is. Don't you even know how they were captured? "
Zhu Rong could not absolve himself from the blame. He braced himself and said, "Brother Baili, this matter is my oversight. However, the investigation has found out that the spy should have used a secret order to send them directly to the Demon Realm. Now, there are only two choices. One is to agree to the demoness' conditions. The other is to attack the Demon Realm before they catch them. Then, we will search for their traces in the area predicted by the secret order. "
"Who is the spy? Have you found out?" Baili Junmo asked.
"This, there are only a few who are more suspicious …" Zhu Rong hesitated for a moment, "One of them is called Yan Li. He is the junior who has the first-class sword master. I think he is the biggest suspect because he strongly advocated to break through the array to save people. He was also the one who broke through Li Xueyi's various schemes. If he did not know about it long ago, how could he think of such a detailed point?"
Gu Caiwei said coldly, "Elder Zhu, you don't have any evidence. How can you make such a conclusion? Could it be that the Five Elements Court is used to executing the Heaven's Punishment? Do you think that you are the Heaven's Punishment and you can simply point fingers? "She had never been as anxious as she was now. Her tone was very unfriendly.
Zhu Rong's face turned cold. He thought in his heart, it's fine if Baili Junmo is strong. It's not shameful for me to tolerate him. However, you, a junior, dare to lecture me? You really don't know what's good for you. Just as he was about to reprimand, he was interrupted.
"I don't want a possibility. Don't think so. I want concrete evidence!" Baili Junmo let out an angry roar, "No matter who it is, I will sentence him to a double nine. This is my decision. Whoever dares to plead for leniency will be punished the same way!"
Those who were familiar with the Mirage Lord knew that he had always hated traitors. Therefore, before the problem was solved, he was already thinking about how to deal with the traitors.
Fortunately, he still remembered this matter. He mentioned it again, "Send a group of people to search first. Also, don't alert the one in Kunlun for the time being. I am worried that this is another scheme of the demon race to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The Wall of Kunlun must not have any more accidents!"
"Yes."
…
When they returned to the first ice cave, no one asked Yan Li what they had found. Because resisting the invasion of the demonic miasma was enough to make people despair. They did not have the mood to pay attention to other things.
Only Liang Youyu forced a smile and greeted, "You're back …" His ashen face was even colder because of the demonic miasma. However, his ashen eyes were because of the same degree of despair. He could feel that death was approaching.
The ice cave was filled with a kind of silent oppression.
Yan Li said to Liumu Bingjian, "Do you still have the strength? Can you seal up the top?"
Liumu Bingjian looked at the huge hole at the top and smiled bitterly, "Brother Yan, you really know how to make things difficult for me." However, the Goddess of War was indeed the Goddess of War. Under such circumstances, she still completed Yan Li's request.
