Chapter 139

~13 min read 2,507 words

Li Youyi recalled the Hidden Lord's words earlier. To reduce casualties as much as possible, the Hidden Sect actually turned the Earth Wolf King Army?

Distant friendship and close attack.

The Earth Wolf King Army's Shu Province was thousands of miles away from Li Province, separated by Han Province in the middle.

The two words "distant friendship" seem simple, but turning is not easy. Wanting the Earth Wolf King Army to sell their lives for the Jiuli Clan is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. The key to everything must be in that metal box.

The Hidden Lord sat opposite the Great Master.

That chess-playing arm had long since disappeared.

The Great Master opened the metal box, which suddenly erupted with dazzling silver light, Dao sounds lingered in the spacious room, and the scriptures turned into a sea of words, as if opening a world.

"Boom!"

Immediately closed the metal box.

The Great Master consumed the shock in his heart, and then the wrinkles on his face stretched, smiling: "Treasures like Immortal Law Stars can be handed over, it seems the foundation of the so-called thousand-ancient clan is nothing more than this. Are you already forced to the wall by Yang Yang Shenjing?"

The Hidden Lord observed the chessboard, then looked for it in the room, and said: "No need to probe the strength of the Hidden Sect. Just the strength on the surface of the Jiuli Clan is much stronger than the Sui Sect, right? If the nine great priests join forces, is Yang Yang Shenjing dead or alive? Eh... you don't think that giving the Immortal Law Stars to you is a good thing, right? You are like this, it disappoints me too much."

The Great Master put the metal box aside, unhurriedly: "Except for the Son of Heaven, anyone who gets the Immortal Law Stars is a capital crime. In the entire Lingxiao Life Realm, I guess only Yu Yaozi can barely bear it, but in this situation, even if she gets it, she won't live past the end of the year."

"But as long as the news doesn't leak, the Immortal Law Stars are the number one treasure in the world. Now this news is only known to you and me."

"In other words, the Jiuli Clan is advancing by retreating, giving millet, and also giving ropes, to seize the biggest handle of the Earth Wolf King Army."

The Hidden Lord said: "Then does the Heavenly King want it?"

"Who in the world can refuse the Immortal Law Stars?"

The Great Master smiled bitterly and asked: "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"In this battle, the Earth Wolf King Army must fully help the Jiuli Clan, including the Heavenly King himself," the Hidden Lord said directly.

The Great Master said: "Can!"

"Kill Yao Qian," the Hidden Lord said.

The Great Master naturally wouldn't agree to everything: "Yao Qian has entered the eyes of the second palace master of Lingxiao Palace. The price of moving him is something the Jiuli Clan can't bear, let alone us?"

"Does the Great Master think that the Jiuli Clan dare not kill him with their own hands, so they pushed it to you?" the Hidden Lord said.

The Great Master smiled without saying a word.

"This seat will personally kill him."

The Hidden Lord's tone was very firm, and then added: "How much effort the Earth Wolf King Army puts in, this seat naturally has a scale in his heart. If you watch from the sidelines by then and only kill a few scattered soldiers, the news that the Immortal Law Stars have been refined by the Heavenly King will definitely spread throughout the Lingxiao Life Realm. Anyway, the Jiuli Clan doesn't lose anything."

The Great Master's face was ugly: "Once this bridle is put on, it seems it can't be untied! Why not, the Jiuli Clan fully supports the Earth Wolf King Army? You have money, food, and resources, and we dare to fight, dare to work hard, dare to gamble. A match made in heaven. First sweep the Southern Region, then ask about the world?"

"Haha!"

The Hidden Lord laughed: "Your plan is good, but this seat is not a fool. Once the Heavenly King breaks through to that realm with the Immortal Law Stars, can the bridle still hold him? I guess, ten years, at most ten years, the Heavenly King will break the realm. By then, how dare the Jiuli Clan command him?"

The Great Master had been staring at the Hidden Lord's eyes, wanting to see the truth from his eyes.

Handing over the Immortal Law Stars is a wonderful move, enough to make the Earth Wolf King Army a thug for the Jiuli Clan. But who in the entire cultivation world is willing? Why are they willing?

The Great Master asked himself, if he were in the Hidden Lord's position, he would definitely not be willing to give up the Immortal Law Stars.

The Hidden Lord added: "The Jiuli Clan can support the Earth Wolf King Army to a certain extent, but you are definitely not the material to fight for the world. Have you heard the news? The Daoist Temple has intervened in secular affairs!"

The Great Master's eyes shone with divine light: "The Daoist sect that hasn't cared about secular affairs for thousands of years is also unwilling to be lonely and is preparing to fight for the world?"

The Daoist Temple is mysterious and unpredictable, and has always had various legends in the Lingxiao Life Realm, and will only come out in the year of great disaster.

Even a figure like the Great Master only knows about the Longevity Pill that comes out ten times every cycle. Legend has it that the Longevity Pill is refined by the Daoist Temple, and only the Daoist Temple can refine it.

Just by mastering the Longevity Pill, it is unimaginable how terrifying their strength must be after hiding from the world for thousands of years?

The Hidden Lord said: "No, they are just intervening in secular affairs, not truly entering the world. Currently, they seem to have chosen the Zuoqiu Gate, wanting to support them to power, replace Lingxiao Palace, and rectify the world situation. So, between the Earth Wolf King Army and the Zuoqiu Gate, does the Great Master think the Jiuli Clan will choose whom?"

The Great Master smiled coldly: "Naturally, follow the trend. It's also good that the True Dragon is born in the Southern Region."

After solving the Six Desires Talisman on Li Youyi, Shi Liuyu disappeared into the ground with the Eight Dragon Carriage.

"Li kid, since we are our own people, I will definitely arrange a flowing stream for you next time. Haha!" Shi Liuyu's laughter came from the ground, getting weaker and weaker.

Li Youyi's face was as usual, ignoring the eyes cast by everyone.

The Hidden Lord's black robe fluttered in the wind, making a flapping sound, and he looked at everyone: "In your hearts, there should be many confusions, right?"

"Dealing with tigers for skins, taking risks. If the Earth Wolf King Army can turn against the enemy at a critical moment, the Sui Sect and Three Chen Gong will definitely be defeated," Hidden Two said.

"Youyi, come with me."

The Hidden Lord took Li Youyi aside alone, built a field with magic power, obviously the previous rash words were deliberately installed for the Great Master. Regarding the secret of a clan's survival, he would never let too many people know.

The Hidden Lord said: "Have you heard of the Immortal Law Stars?"

Li Youyi naturally knew, having already heard Master Coffin explain it in detail, and was shocked in his heart: "The Hidden Lord handed the Immortal Law Stars to the Earth Wolf King Army? This..."

The Hidden Lord smiled bitterly: "Do you know what is the most difficult and uncertain thing about this decisive battle?"

Li Youyi understood that the Hidden Lord was testing him, and thought carefully: "The backhands of people like the Sui Sect and Three Chen Gong? The Jiuli Clan has a Hidden Sect, and they must also have hidden means, not all of which are on the surface."

"Half right!"

The Hidden Lord said: "The strength and movements of the enemy on the surface have always been under our control. So, they want to attack any place, and the experts of the Jiuli Clan can rush to support them at the first time. The Jiuli Clan is not afraid of such a confrontation."

"But the Jiuli Clan is the defender! The Jiuli Dao Academy and Jiuli City must be defended, the Jiuli God Temple and Ancestral Realm must also be defended. The ancestral mountains of the nine great tribes still have to be defended. And various villages, towns, and passes..."

"Once the enemy has one, two, three... hidden forces that suddenly break through what we defend, should we save them when they slaughter our tribesmen?"

Li Youyi said: "If we go to save, we will be completely passive, and even be stretched thin. Why not take the initiative to attack?"

"The foundation of the Sui Sect is in the Suihe, and the foundation of the Three Chen Gong is on the three roads of land. Destroying the Sui Sect and Three Chen Gong in Jiuli City is meaningless. Other forces like Coffin Mountain, Tianya Ridge, and Dragon Gate are even further away."

"The initiative of the decisive battle is the real initiative."

The Hidden Lord said: "If we want to occupy the initiative, we must choose the battlefield ourselves and cannot be led by the nose by the enemy. Originally, the plan was to use the Immortal Law Stars to lure all enemies to the ancestral mountain of the Cang Li tribe and wipe them out, sacrificing the entire Cang Li tribe in exchange for the peace of the Jiuli Clan."

"So, I told the Earth Wolf King Army's Shi Na'er the news that the Immortal Law Stars were in the Cang Li tribe in a special way."

"At the same time, I was preparing to pass the news to Yang Yang Shenjing and the others before the decisive battle."

Li Youyi said: "Why did you change your mind again?"

The Hidden Lord looked at him with eager eyes: "Inside and outside, two reasons."

"Outside, the Zuoqiu Gate is determined to fight for the world and needs the full support of the Jiuli Clan in all aspects, so they will fully assist in this battle. The Jiuli Clan doesn't need to make such a big sacrifice. After all... the Cang Li tribe is the largest tribe of the Jiuli, with hundreds of millions of tribesmen. Who can bear to bury so many tribesmen with their own hands?"

"Inside, it's because of you."

"Me?" Li Youyi said.

The Hidden Lord said: "The news you brought back is too important! As long as the leader returns in ten years, even if Shi Na'er breaks through to that realm with the Immortal Law Stars, he will have to spit out the Immortal Law Stars again. And before that, the Earth Wolf King Army will become a puppet thug for the Jiuli Clan."

"Youyi, will the leader really return in ten years?"

Before handing over the Immortal Law Stars, the Hidden Lord was actually very decisive, but after handing them over, his mood could not be calm, so he came to Li Youyi to confirm again.

Li Youyi didn't expect that the Hidden Lord dared to make this decision that might raise a tiger, because of his trust in him.

At this moment, if he dared to tell the truth, he would probably be slapped to death by the Hidden Lord.

"The leader will definitely return, within ten years, definitely!"

Li Youyi's eyes were firm, and he secretly clenched his fists, saying so.

Since it was because of him that the Hidden Lord made the wrong judgment and decision. Then, he would definitely not live up to this trust of the Hidden Lord, and would personally retrieve the Immortal Law Stars within ten years.

A smile appeared in the Hidden Lord's eyes.

After separating from the Hidden Lord and Hidden Two, Li Youyi, Hidden Thirteen, Hidden Twenty-Three, and Hidden Twenty-Four left this immortal world space and entered the exit road for Five Seas Realm martial cultivators.

This road is located at the top of the mountain, along the mountain ridge.

The ground is full of frost, and the snow is nearly a foot thick.

Contrary to the heat of the Gushing Spring Realm road.

After walking out of the Qi barrier, Li Youyi looked at Burial Xianzhen, which seemed to be close at hand at the foot of the mountain. He found that the thick and bright light pillar rushing out of the town actually showed signs of fading.

It could be seen clearly that the light pillar was gushing out from an ancient well in the northeast corner of Burial Xianzhen.

"Is the mutation of Burial Xianzhen activated by my blood? What secret is hidden in my blood? Who am I?"

Li Youyi secretly decided that before leaving, he must find Chan Hai Guan Wu to figure all this out, and couldn't live so confusedly anymore.

Walking down the mountain ridge, he walked along the Suihe from the Five Seas Realm boundary.

Sure enough, the road was smooth, and no enemy traces were seen, but he didn't encounter Hidden Nine and Cang Li.

After walking a hundred miles, he arrived at the place where he separated from the nine first-rank leaders when he entered the town.

Here, there were shocking battle traces everywhere, the river channel was cut with a wide gap of dozens of meters, part of the mountain collapsed, and the forest of trees turned into charcoal...

The army of the Yao Li tribe was stationed on the riverbank plain four miles away.

"Youyi, the secret stronghold of the Hidden Sect is located at the Mountain Lord Taiqing Tomb thirty miles west of Yao Guan City. Once you have decided, go there to meet us."

Hidden Thirteen took Hidden Twenty-Three and went into the Long Mountain range, quickly disappearing into the immortal mist.

Li Youyi looked at Hidden Twenty-Four beside him: "You're not going with Hidden Thirteen brother?"

"You can go to the Yao Li tribe camp, why can't I go back to visit my father? My father is injured!"

Hidden Twenty-Four proudly raised her chin and walked toward the military camp first.

"What did you tell me when you became a hidden person, you must cut off the past."

Li Youyi followed quickly, leading her by half a step: "I can use the identity of Sima Tan, what about you? What is your real name?"

"I'll use the identity of Sima Tan's companion, is that reasonable enough?"

Hidden Twenty-Four pretended to be fierce and said this, then moved half a step forward, leaning lightly against him, her heart beating non-stop.
