Li Hongzhuang said matter-of-factly, "I'm not a human."
Yan Li said coldly, "You Yan's death was planned by you!"
Li Hongzhuang smiled proudly, "Of course! I deliberately mentioned him in front of you to let you know that he was my admirer. After all, you are my only man at the moment. The possessiveness of a male will make you jealous, and then you will have a strong desire to kill You Yan. Otherwise, why would I help you continue the hidden sword style and not kill you? "
Yan Li said, "I only feel that it's not worth it for him."
"Not worth it?" Li Hongzhuang rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, looking mischievous and cute. "You killed him, what does it have to do with me?" Her expression gradually faded. "You know what you're going to face next, right? I'm not Ji Zhiyuan. You will pay for your choice. "With that, she disappeared in a flash.
The surroundings fell into darkness again.
The experience in the Evil Prison seemed like yesterday. This woman whom Yan Li thought he knew very well, once again refreshed his understanding.
The dark fog gradually dispersed. Just below Yan Li's feet, there was nothing in the surroundings. A bare ring-shaped valley appeared. The extremely dense power of the Yellow Spring condensed into a liquid form, forming a circulating river in the deep valley. Hundreds of evil spirits with green faces and fangs were scattered in groups of two or three. Some of them were bathing in the Yellow Spring River, some were lying on a banana leaf and flowing with the water, some were playing in the lava pool in the middle of the deep valley, and some were climbing the cliff … But as soon as the dark fog dispersed, the evil spirits' eyes focused on Yan Li.
Yan Li only felt that he was being stared at by countless malicious intents. A chill ran down his spine, suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and then poured down like ice water from the top of his head. He could not help but feel his hair stand on end. At this moment, the bronze door gradually became transparent, as if it was about to disappear. The soft golden rope slowly slid down. Once the door completely disappeared, the rope would lose its support completely.
Could Yan Li let this happen? Of course … he could!
The bronze door disappeared too quickly. Before he could think of a way to deal with it, he began to fall freely. When the malevolent spirits saw him descending, they all drooled and gulped, looking like they couldn't wait to devour him. He could not imagine the power of a hundred of the strongest liches, but at this moment, he only had the courage to fight for his life. He clenched his teeth and silently activated his life vitality … At this moment, the rope was suddenly pulled upwards. He only felt his waist tighten and he could not help but rise up. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the endless darkness. His eyes suddenly brightened and he could vaguely see, under the golden setting sun, a smear of blood entered the other side of the mountain.
"Long live the commander!"
"Long live the commander!"
"The commander is invincible!"
Thunderous cheers rose and fell from Frost Leaf City.
Yan Li fell freely and was caught by a cloud. The cloud floated to the tower, and he saw Huang Shouyi. This unpleasant old thing actually gave him a dry smile, like an old chrysanthemum blossoming. "Well done." He almost vomited the food he ate the night before.
Later, he found out that the limit of the top-level Hundred Spirit Token was that it could only open the door once. Fortunately, in the end, he did not manage to find out who had pulled the rope.
…
"Brother Long, get up quickly. Brother Yan invited us to a banquet." Zhong Hanqiu knocked on the door loudly. This person spoke in a refined manner, but his movements were very rough.
"I, I saw that kind of phenomenon today, I really need to go into seclusion to meditate …" Xu Longxiang said in a muffled voice as he lay on the bed and covered himself with the blanket.
Zhong Hanqiu said, "Brother Long, this is not the style of our Iron Blood Alliance! Our Iron Blood Alliance has never feared anything. You are forcing me to tie you up. You have to know that I rarely admire a person. Before you, there was only Yan Shifang. "
There was something wrong with this person!
Xu Longxiang secretly clenched his teeth. Thinking of Zhong Hanqiu's seemingly simple and honest face, he felt even more disgusted. But on second thought, if I don't even go to the banquet, won't that make me more suspicious? That scoundrel Yan is very suspicious. I need to go through him in order to succeed! Thinking of this, he got up and put on his clothes. "No need to tie me up. I'm coming, I'm coming …"
"That's right." Zhong Hanqiu smiled with satisfaction.
The three came to the small hall that Yan Li had opened. Just as they sat down, they heard the others in the hall outside. Because they had just repelled the attack of the demons, they were talking one after another. It was very lively.
"Brother Yan, let's spar." Seeing Yan Li, Zhong Hanqiu said nothing and drew his sword.
"I'm injured, but I can't fight." Yan Li smiled bitterly and waved his hand, raising his cup of wine. "If you don't mind, let me toast the three of you."
Zhong Hanqiu could only give up and drink.
Long Aoshuang reluctantly took a sip and said coldly, "I heard that you broke the Hundred Spirit Token today? What's so great about it that it's worth talking about it everywhere. If it were us, the Iron Blood Alliance, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. "
Yan Li smiled noncommittally and said to Xu Longxiang, "Brother Xu Longxiang thinks so too?"
Xu Longxiang said, "Ah, no, I think it's very great."
Long Aoshuang immediately said disdainfully, "Humph, traitor!"
Xu Longxiang cursed in his heart, but he had to pretend to be embarrassed on the surface. He was especially uncomfortable.
Yan Li smiled. "Where is Brother Long Xiao from?"
Xu Longxiang said, "I'm from the Sword Province."
Yan Li said, "Where is the Sword Province?"
Xu Longxiang was secretly vigilant. Is he already suspecting me? He answered casually, "The Sword Province's Cang County."
Yan Li suddenly said, "I've heard of that place. It's not far from the Nine Dragons. I heard that the fishery is rich, and many precious seafood comes from there. But you need to use your connections, or you won't be able to eat it even if you have money. "
"That's right." Xu Longxiang nodded. He didn't lie. He was indeed from the Cang County.
Then it was the two of them talking, and the two from the Iron Blood Alliance became bystanders. Xu Longxiang gradually understood that Yan Li was the same as him. He didn't know how to deal with these two fools, so he deliberately kept talking to him.
Not long after, a disciple of the Court Of Sword hurried in and whispered something in Yan Li's ear. Yan Li said to the three apologetically, "There's an urgent military matter to deal with. The three of you, please enjoy yourselves. No need to be polite, just treat this as your own home. I'll take my leave first. "
A God-given opportunity!
Xu Longxiang saw this and immediately used his urine escape to carry out his plan.
When Yan Li arrived at the meeting hall, the elders were already there. He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down at the head of the table, indicating that Li Zhengjun could begin.
Li Zhengjun nodded and said, "I received orders from the commander-in-chief to investigate the Demon Race's camp. Things went very smoothly. I've already drawn up a road map. We'll immediately take stock of the troops. We'll arrive there in four hours and catch them off guard! "
"Then what are we waiting for? Commander-in-chief, hurry up and give the order!" Tao Qian said excitedly.
"What does the Great Elder think?" Yan Li asked unhurriedly.
Huang Shouyi was an experienced man. When he heard that Yan Li was still testing him, he immediately said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-chief. Just because you risked your life to save people today, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. We'll follow your lead during this three-month period, but it'll be invalid after the deadline. "
"The morale of the troops can be used." Yan Li clapped his hands and laughed. "Pass down the order. Prepare the troops and give Li Hongzhuang a big gift."
An hour later, Yan Li went to the drill ground to mobilize the troops. Just as he was about to speak, a voice that sounded like a broken pot rushed in. "Not good, there's a fire, not good, there's a fire …"
Huang Shouyi rushed into the sky and saw flames in the distance. His expression immediately changed. "It's a storehouse!"
Li Zhengjun shouted sternly, "Hurry and put out the fire!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone gathered in front of a pile of black ashes.
They looked at each other silently in front of a pile of black ashes.
"It's the Fire Demon Bomb developed by Liu Xingfeng. That's why it burned so quickly …" Tao Qian's face was pale as he muttered. It wasn't just the storehouse in front of them. Several other storehouses had also been burned to ashes.
"There must be a Demon spy among them. Hurry and investigate!" Huang Shouyi shouted angrily.
"Wait!" Yan Li raised his hand to stop him. Everyone looked over. At this time, the idea of the leader was very important. He said to Tao Qian, "How many days can the provisions in the city last?"
Tao Qian said, "Commander-in-chief, the provisions can last for three days, but the next batch of supplies will need at least ten days. Moreover, without those medicinal herbs and pills, our soldiers can't fight against the Demon race for a long time … If the ordinary people in the city are hungry, I'm afraid they'll be used by the Demon race … "He said bitterly," I'm afraid we can't defend Frost Leaf City … "
"You're a dignified elder. It's not the last moment yet. How can you make such a conclusion!" Li Zhengjun reprimanded him rudely. He turned to Yan Li. "Commander-in-chief, can you think of another way?"
Everyone looked at Yan Li again. Yan Li deliberated for a long time before spitting out two words, "Retreat."
…
At the beginning of the fourth month of the sixth year of Qi Yuan, Yan Shifang led the entire army to repel the Demon race and fought a beautiful turnaround. However, on the same night, the storehouses in Frost Leaf City were burned down, and the allied army fled in panic once again. After that, several cities couldn't satisfy their provisions, and they had no choice but to retreat until Chiyou's last city — Fierce Dragon City.
When Feng Jiu recovered from his injuries and came out of seclusion, he killed the Ghost race's High Priest, Wildfire, in Fierce Dragon City, opening a new chapter in the Nine Great Counterattacks. Unexpectedly, after Yan Shifang took office, in just a month's time, the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy's several years of hard work went down the drain. It could be imagined how fierce the condemnation against him was. He believed that as long as Fierce Dragon City was lost, he wouldn't need three months to reach the end of his career as the commander-in-chief of the allied army.
Unlike Stone City and Frost Leaf City, there was a large plain outside Fierce Dragon City. Other than the man-made ditches in front of the city tower, there were no other obstacles. In the eyes of the world, with such a terrible commander-in-chief in the allied army, Fierce Dragon City was bound to be lost.
Lu Suxue led Ye Qiuchi on the plain. Soon, a basin appeared in front of them. There was a tent on the riverbank. The two concealed their presence and quietly approached.
"Is it here?" Ye Qiuchi asked.
"I've been watching for several days. It's here," Lu Suxue said.
A voice came from inside the tent. "Brother Guan is wise. If this goes on, the Yan traitor will be doomed without the Five Elements Sect's help."
