"Stop!"
Yan Li shouted without a care, instantly putting himself in the role of the chief.
The Silver Wing Tribe had backstabbed him, and he was still holding back his anger. He had delivered himself to the blade, and if he didn't kill them cleanly, it would be a waste of their sincerity.
The sword lights interweaved and saved the remaining thirty people. Those who were saved looked as if they had seen a god descending to the mortal world. They knelt down on the ground and worshipped him with sincerity.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. He must be a demon sent by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He's trying to invade our sacred Eva!" Vana raised her arms and shouted. Then, she charged forward with the warriors under her.
Yan Li sneered and was about to make a move. Suddenly, his wrist paused as he thought of a possibility.
Could this be another trap?
"Wait!" He raised his left hand to block.
"Demon, what else do you have to say!" Vana glared at Yan Li angrily, as if she had just received a divorce letter from him.
Yan Li sneered and said, "If I want to make a move, none of you will live. But it's too tiring to kill. It takes a lot of effort to pull out a green onion. I can't be bothered to waste my energy. As long as you leave the Venomous Snake Forest, I'll spare your lives!"
"The Venomous Snake Tribe destroyed our sacred object. We can't forgive them!" Vana was not moved at all.
"Hmph, listen to me, women of the Silver Wing Tribe. Our tribe has many skilled craftsmen. It's as easy as blowing off dust to repair your broken sacred object."
At this moment, the strong man who had shouted "protect the chief" spoke. He looked at Yan Li and said respectfully, "Chief, if you're willing to help them repair it, please give the order."
Perhaps he felt that Yan Li had spoken too confidently, so this loyal subordinate came to "save the situation."
Yan Li waved his hand indifferently and said, "Repair it if you want. Give them a chance to show the benevolence of the Venomous Snake Tribe."
The subordinates naturally sang praises again. It was as if it had been a long time since Yan Li had become their chief. They didn't feel out of place when they flattered him.
…
Of course, the Viper Tribe was not in the valley, but it was just outside the valley.
Just as Yan Li expected, in an abandoned stone beach, there was a cave as the main house, with all kinds of living equipment piled up in the middle. Aside from living in, the caves on both sides also had various functions, such as storage, smelting, weaving, brewing, and even specialized kitchen rooms.
The Viper Tribe appeared neat and orderly, which did not match the style of its name.
Only the totem carved with the poisonous snake could give some clues.
The warriors of the tribe had all gone to fight, leaving behind only the old, weak, women, and children. After learning the whole story, under the deployment of the strong man, they quickly began to repair the stone slabs.
The Silver Wing Tribe was temporarily stationed outside, waiting for news.
During this period, Yan Li probed Yu Shenji several times but failed to obtain any useful clues.
It seemed that he hadn't found the clue that would trigger the next step. He could only take it one step at a time.
In the latter half of the night, Yan Li woke up from his meditation. Looking at the night sky above his head, which was no different from the real world, he suddenly felt somewhat vexed.
The selection mechanism of the academy, the long and tedious missions, and the mysterious deceased people — all of these made him feel that his precious time was being wasted.
But he was living under someone else's roof, so he could only follow their rules.
If he had to do this himself, he might as well go to the arena and fight to his heart's content. Wouldn't it be the most efficient way to determine the ranking based on victory and defeat?
"Young cultivator, your thoughts are very dangerous. I advise you to stop here," Yu Shenji's voice slowly sounded. Yu Shenji's voice rang out slowly. "I believe that the young people who came to the academy are aiming for the Soaring Dragon Roll."
"So what?" Yan Li said indifferently.
"Young cultivator, do you know what cultivation is?" Yu Shenji's tone was somewhat deep.
Yan Li said, "To perfect oneself, to sublimate one's soul and reach a more lofty realm."
"You're wrong," Yu Shenji said.
"I'm wrong?" Yan Li said with slight mockery, "Why did I hear that you're only a Martial Dao Human Immortal? There are really many Martial Dao Human Immortals. I've killed quite a few."
"Look at the stones under your feet, then look at the stars above your head," Yu Shenji said calmly without getting angry. "What do you think is the difference between them?"
Yan Li said, "One is being stepped on by others, while the other is stepping on others."
"You're wrong again," Yu Shenji said.
"What's wrong?" Yan Li asked.
Yu Shenji said indifferently, "In my opinion, there's no difference between them."
"You mean that a beggar who has no clothes to cover his body and food to fill his stomach is no different from an emperor who lives in luxury?" Yan Li said.
"That's how I see it," Yu Shenji said.
"I'd like to hear your brilliant opinion," Yan Li said.
"The stones form a path for all living beings to walk on. The stars illuminate the path so that all living beings will not get lost," Yu Shenji said. Yu Shenji said, "Their effects are similar and complement each other. This is the embodiment of the Dao. Everything in the world operates according to the Dao's trajectory, and this trajectory is the so-called cultivation."
Yan Li, who was about to mock him, swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you be more specific?"
Yu Shenji said, "It's like you only need one bowl of rice to be full, but you insist on eating ten bowls. In the end, you'll either choke to death or die from overeating."
"It can't be more specific." Yan Li could not help but laugh. His mood gradually calmed down. "You're trying to tell me that every step I take and everything I experience will become an opportunity in the future. When I reach that realm, I'll naturally improve."
"If possible, I should be the strongest Sword Immortal in the world." Yu Shenji's tone suddenly changed.
"You!" Yan Li's face darkened.
"I just want to tell you that your luck is too bad. You actually chose the most difficult mission. Others only need to eat one bowl, but you have to eat ten bowls." Yu Shenji could not help but burst into laughter after saying that.
Yan Li nearly fainted.
"Answer a question for me!" He was on the verge of exploding.
"What?" Yu Shenji held back his laughter.
"Are the so-called others in this world?" Yan Li asked.
"Of course," Yu Shenji said.
"You're also giving guidance to others at the same time?" Yan Li asked.
"Only the most difficult mission can receive my personal guidance," Yu Shenji said bluntly.
Thinking that he had chosen the most difficult mission after careful consideration, Yan Li wanted to strangle Huang Shaoyu.
"Where is Huang Shaoyu?" His face darkened.
"Who's looking for This King?"
At this moment, another voice sounded in his mind.
"Huang Shaoyu?" Yan Li said in shock.
"Perverted thief?" Huang Shaoyu's voice came from the other end.
"Scram!"
"Oh."
There was silence for a moment.
But after a moment, Huang Shaoyu's voice sounded again. "No, you're quite bold. You dare call This King by his name and tell This King to scram!"
