Chapter 140: Defection

~13 min read 2,549 words

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

Far friendship and near attack.

Shu Prefecture, where the Earth Wolf King Army is located, is thousands of miles away from Li Prefecture, and there is still Han Prefecture in between.

The two words "far friendship" seem simple, but defection is difficult. Wanting the Earth Wolf King Army to turn to sell their lives for the Nine Li Tribe is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. The key to everything must be in the metal box.

The Hidden Lord sat opposite the Great Lord.

That arm playing chess had long since disappeared.

The Great Lord opened the metal box, and it immediately erupted with blinding silver light. The sound of the Dao 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 Lord consumed the shock in his heart, and then the wrinkles on his face stretched, and he smiled: "Treasures like the Immortal Law Stars can be handed over, it seems that the foundation of the so-called ten million ancient clans is nothing more than this. Are you already forced to the wall by 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 Gate. Isn't the strength of the Nine Li Tribe on the surface much stronger than the Sui Sect? If the Nine Great Priests join forces, is Yang Shenjing dead or alive? Eh... you don't think that giving the Immortal Law Stars to you is a good thing, right? If you are like this, you are too disappointing to me."

The Great Lord consumed the shock in his heart, and then the wrinkles on his face stretched, and he smiled: "Except for the Son of Heaven, anyone who gets the Immortal Law Stars is a capital crime. In the entire Lingxiao Life Realm, I estimate that 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 Nine Li Tribe is advancing by retreating, giving millet and also giving ropes, in order to grasp 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 Lord smiled bitterly and asked: "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"In this battle, the Earth Wolf King Army must fully help the Nine Li Tribe, including the Heavenly King himself." The Hidden Lord went straight to the point.

The Great Lord said: "Can!"

"Kill Yao Qian." The Hidden Lord said.

The Great Lord 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 Nine Li Tribe cannot bear, let alone us?"

"Does the Great Lord think that the Nine Li Tribe dare not kill him with their own hands, so they pushed it to you?" The Hidden Lord said.

The Great Lord smiled without saying a word.

"This seat will kill him personally."

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 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 Nine Li Tribe doesn't lose anything."

The Great Lord's face was ugly: "Once this rope is put on, it seems it can't be untied! Why not, the Nine Li Tribe fully supports the Earth Wolf King Army, you have money, food, and resources, we dare to fight, dare to struggle, dare to risk our lives, a match made in heaven. First sweep the Southern Realm, then ask about the world?"

"Haha!"

The Hidden Lord laughed: "Your abacus is good, but this seat is not a fool. Once the Heavenly King breaks through to that realm by virtue of the Immortal Law Stars, can the rope still tie him? I estimate, ten years, at most ten years, the Heavenly King will break through the realm. At that time, how dare the Nine Li Tribe command him?"

The Great Lord 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 brilliant move, which is enough to make the Earth Wolf King Army a thug for the Nine Li Tribe. But who in the cultivation world is willing? Why are they willing?

The Great Lord 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 Nine Li Tribe 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 Du'e Temple has intervened in secular affairs!"

The Great Lord's eyes shone with divine light: "The Daoist sect that has not ignored secular affairs for thousands of years is also unwilling to be lonely, preparing to fight for the world?"

Du'e Temple, mysterious and unpredictable, has had various legends in the Lingxiao Life Realm, and only in the year of great disaster will it come out.

Even a figure like the Great Lord, his understanding of it is limited to the ten Longevity Pills that come out every cycle. Legend has it that the Longevity Pills are refined by the Du'e Temple, and only the Du'e Temple can refine them.

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

The Hidden Lord said: "No, they just intervene in secular affairs, not truly enter the world. Currently, they seem to have chosen the Zuoqiu Gate, wanting to support them to take the position, replace Lingxiao Palace, and reorganize the world situation. So, between the Earth Wolf King Army and the Zuoqiu Gate, does the Great Lord think the Nine Li Tribe will choose whom?"

The Great Lord smiled coldly: "Naturally, follow the trend, it is also good that the True Dragon comes out in the Southern Realm."

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 for you to flow like a stream next time. Haha!" Shi Liuyu's laughter came from the ground, getting weaker and weaker.

Li Youyi's face remained calm, ignoring the eyes cast by everyone.

The Hidden Lord's black robe fluttered in the wind, flapping, and he looked at everyone: "You should have many puzzles in your heart, right?"

"Dealing with a tiger to seek skin, taking risks. If the Earth Wolf King Army can defect at a critical moment, the Sui Sect and the Three Chen Palace will definitely be defeated." Hidden Two said.

"Youyi, come with me."

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

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

Li Youyi naturally knew, having already listened to Master Coffin's detailed account, 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: "You know what is the most difficult and uncertain thing in this decisive battle?"

Li Youyi understood that the Hidden Lord was examining him, and after careful consideration: "The backhands of these people like the Sui Sect and the Three Chen Palace? The Nine Li Tribe has a Hidden Gate, and they must also have hidden means, not all on the surface."

"Half right!"

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

"But the Nine Li Tribe is the defensive side! Nine Li Dao Academy, Nine Li City must be guarded, Nine Li Divine Temple, Ancestral Realm must also be guarded, and the Ancestral Mountains of the Nine Great Tribes must be guarded. And major villages, towns, and passes..."

"Once the enemy has one, two, three... hidden forces, suddenly break through what we guard, when they slaughter our clansmen, do we save them or not?"

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

"The foundation of the Sui Sect is in the Sui River, and the foundation of the Three Chen Palace is in the three land roads. Destroying the Sui Sect and the Three Chen Palace in Nine Li City is meaningless. Other forces like Coffin Mountain, Sky Cliff 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, it was intended 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 Nine Li Tribe."

"So, the news that the Immortal Law Stars were in the Cang Li Tribe was told to Shi Na'er of the Earth Wolf King Army in a special way."

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

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

The Hidden Lord looked at him eagerly: "One inside, one outside, two reasons."

"Outside, the Zuoqiu Gate is determined to fight for the world and needs the full support of the Nine Li Tribe in all aspects, so they will fully help in this battle. The Nine Li Tribe doesn't need to make such a big sacrifice. After all... the Cang Li Tribe is the first big tribe of the Nine Li, with millions of clansmen, who can bear to bury so many clansmen 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 by virtue of 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 Nine Li Tribe."

"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 it 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, just because of his trust in him.

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

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

Li Youyi's eyes were firm, secretly clenching 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 the Hidden Lord's trust, and would definitely take back the Immortal Law Stars within ten years.

The Hidden Lord smiled in his eyes.

After parting with the Hidden Lord and Hidden Two, Li Youyi, Hidden Thirteen, Hidden Twenty-Three, and Hidden Twenty-Four left the immortal world space and entered the exit road for Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu.

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 Spring-Gushing Realm road.

After walking out of the Qi barrier, Li Youyi looked at Burial Immortal Town, 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 spraying out from an ancient well in the northeast corner of Burial Immortal Town.

"Is the strange change in Burial Immortal Town activated by my blood? What secret does my blood hide? Who am I?"

Li Youyi secretly decided that before leaving, he must find Zen Sea Watching Mist to figure all this out, and could no longer live so confusedly.

Walking down the mountain ridge, moving forward along the Sui River from the Five Seas Realm boundary.

Sure enough, it was smooth, no enemy traces were seen, but Hidden Nine and Cang Li were not encountered.

Walking a hundred li, arriving at the place where he separated from the nine head-level figures when entering the town.

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

The army of the Medicine Li Tribe was stationed on the riverbank plain four li away.

"Youyi, the secret stronghold of the Hidden Gate is located at the Shanjun Taiqing Tomb, thirty li west of Yao Guan City. Once you decide, go there to meet us."

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

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

"You can go to the Medicine 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 at the beginning? Becoming a Hidden Person means cutting 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 use the identity of Sima Tan's companion, is that reasonable enough?"

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