Chapter 240: Morning of the Fifteenth Day of the New Year

East City, Underground Nether Market.

A green building garden called Zuihuayin was a secret stronghold of the Earth Wolf King Army in Qiuzhouzhou city.

Led by Shi Shishi, the three entered from the backyard.

Opening the door was Bai Shu, wearing a veil.

Bai Shu looked at Li Youyi, who was lying on Qi Xiao's back, his face as pale as paper, and said: "What trouble did you go and cause again? How are you injured so heavily?"

Shi Shishi walked quickly: "Had a fight with Ge Xiantong; the thrill of it cannot be described in words. To summarize simply, the number one person of the younger generation was beaten back!"

How could Bai Shu believe his nonsense: "Even if the three of you were tied together, you wouldn't have the qualifications to make Ge Xiantong take action."

Qi Xiao placed Li Youyi on Bai Shu's bed and said proudly: "Miss, you are wrong this time! Ge Xiantong may be the number one person of the younger generation, and his master may be the number one person in the world, but this time he could only obediently be the green leaf for Brother Youyi. Today, countless eyes witnessed Ge Xiantong retreating with no other options."

Bai Shu knew Qi Xiao's great name; this guy didn't seem like he was bragging, her charming eyes widened in disbelief. She only felt that the guy lying on the bed was glowing all over, clearly an immortal descending to the world.

"Cough, cough!"

Li Youyi's internal organs were burning with pain, as if they were on fire; fortunately, he had used Earth Immortal Soil to shape them, and their strength was extremely high.

Mobilizing the Immortal Glow in his Divine Palace to nourish his injuries, he sat up abruptly: "Clean up the traces, and the aura too; absolutely do not let the enemy have any chance to track us."

"Rest assured! The Earth Wolf King Army's greatest skill is hiding, otherwise we would have been wiped out by the imperial court long ago. My ability to counter-track is number one below the Dao Seed Realm!" Shi Shishi patted his chest to guarantee.

Qi Xiao nodded lightly: "Although there is bragging, there is indeed true talent. The Earth Wolf King Army's people are truly at the bottom of the Southern Region in character, but their ability to escape and hide is indeed extraordinary. I think we should leave the city quickly; you are injured too heavily now, and staying in Qiuzhouzhou city has no meaning."

Bai Shu had long wanted to escape: "If we want to leave the city, I will arrange it; there are secret channels, guaranteed safe."

Li Youyi pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Where are your Dragon Seed tickets and Dragon Bone tickets?"

Shi Shishi said: "They have been hidden! Although the invitation can be located, a city shrunk to the size of a palm, with a small dot on it, is a very large area. In a short time, it won't be so easy for people to find."

"You all discuss it; I'm going to scout for information. If the Zuoqiu Sect and the Li clan have already been defeated, then there is nothing to hesitate about; abandoning the Dragon Seed and Dragon Bone to save our lives is the top priority. Hey! Truly unwilling..."

Qi Xiao sighed long and went out.

The Dragon Bone and Dragon Seed were treasures of fate-changing for him to ascend to heaven in one step.

Li Youyi said: "Law King Shishi, you are also unwilling, right?"

Shi Shishi said: "What's the use of being unwilling? Do you think that if I hold the Dragon Bone ticket now and defect to the imperial court or the Far West Ash Region, I can really get the Dragon Bone tomorrow night?"

"I have actually seen Cang Li's invitation and know where the Hidden Dragon venue is tomorrow night," Li Youyi said.

Shi Shishi was overjoyed: "Is there a chance to hide until the end and sneak in?"

"If Zuoqiu Hong and Cang Li lose, I fear the enemy will guard outside the venue and beat you to death directly," Li Youyi said.

"I knew it..."

Shi Shishi's eyes revealed vigorous battle intent and fighting spirit: "Give me a suggestion, should I lead the Wu Xiu hidden by the Earth Wolf King Army to help Zuoqiu Hong? Fight for the future, fight for the future."

Everyone, in order to squeeze into the narrow upward channel, is willing to fight for their lives.

Li Youyi knew the importance of the Dragon Bone, Dragon Seed, and Longevity Pill to him and the seven little ones, and he didn't want to fall behind others, so naturally, he didn't want to give up just like that.

Many top-tier Wu Xiu participating in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival were Seventh Sea completion; if they got the Dragon Seed, they could start to impact the Dao Seed Realm.

Once they stepped into the Dao Seed Realm, they could lock their blood energy and life physical fitness, delay aging, enter the Dao from martial arts, and formally step into the ranks of human powerhouses.

And he, Li Youyi, still needed to accumulate for a long time in the Five Seas Realm; the Wind Mansion, Ancestral Field, and even the Divine Palace were all long roads. If he couldn't get the Dragon Bone, Dragon Seed, and Longevity Pill, there was a risk of falling behind in the Dao Seed Realm.

Once he fell behind, it would be decades of time.

Li Youyi looked at the fanatical Shi Shishi: "You had better not be impulsive; only power hidden in the dark can exert better effects. Zuoqiu Hong, Cang Li, and Zhu Yibai all have ancient clans and ten-thousand-sect gates behind them; they have deep foundations and can afford to consume, and they definitely have backhands."

"How about this, wait for me for two days; if I can heal my injuries! Regardless of whether Zuoqiu Hong and the others win or lose, I will take you and Qi Xiao to fight for it."

Shi Shishi laughed loudly: "With these words from Brother Youyi, I know there is at least a fifty percent chance! Bai Shu, I leave him to you; take good care of him, I have to go see my tickets."

That day, the sounds of battle in the city were endless, and the killing spread to the underground Nether Market, and even a battle broke out outside Zuihuayin.

Li Youyi didn't stabilize his injuries until night, and the pain in his internal organs disappeared. But to say he could fight someone now was wishful thinking.

Instead, the Big Phoenix, after eating the most precious roots of the 1,600-year-old Black Dragon Grass, was already full of life.

The previous heavily injured state was like a pretense.

Thousand-year essence herbs, reaching 1,600 years, had double the medicinal power of those only 1,000 years old, and the price was also double.

In the next two days, Li Youyi wanted to achieve something, and he had to rely on the seven of them.

Thousand-year essence herbs were naturally supplied openly.

After nightfall, the sounds of battle gradually became sporadic.

After fighting for a day and a night, the various powers were naturally exhausted and needed to rest.

Qi Xiao returned to Zuihuayin, injured, and brought back a healing pill for Li Youyi, his expression extremely ugly: "I met Zuoqiu Hong, the number one expert of the Zuoqiu Sect's younger generation. They broke out of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, but after a day of fierce fighting, they couldn't break through the Attendant Palace, and both sides suffered heavy losses. She asked me to bring you a message: she is grateful for the battle this morning, but the trend is hard to reverse... leave the city quickly."

"Cang Li said he couldn't leave and swore to live and die with the Li clan Wu Xiu."

"Li Ling said her brother couldn't leave, and she couldn't leave either!"

Li Youyi sighed and then pondered: "Even if they didn't break through the Attendant Palace, after fighting for a whole day, the imperial court must have suffered heavy losses. What is the situation now?"

Qi Xiao said: "Originally, at dusk, a large number of Far West Ash Region Wu Xiu were dispatched, wanting to attack from front and back to wipe out the alliance of the Zuoqiu Sect, the Li clan, and the Zhu Sect. But suddenly a hidden force killed their way in, resolving the crisis; it seems to be the Zhu Sect's final trump card."

Li Youyi secretly guessed that it was mostly the Zhu Sect's Hidden Gate taking action!

The Li clan Hidden Gate has five or six Five Seas Realm experts under the age of thirty. The Hidden Gates of the Zhu Sect and the Zuoqiu Sect wouldn't be any worse.

The Hidden Gate definitely takes the route of only cultivating top-tier experts.

Otherwise, they couldn't hide.

Qi Xiao continued: "The situation is very subtle now; the battle between the imperial court and the Zuoqiu Sect has stopped."

"The Dragon Gate and the Lei Xiao Sect have rushed to the battlefield, but they are stationed without moving, busy building defensive works and setting up formations, not participating in the battle."

"Only the Far West Ash Region is restless, and it's hard to say if there will be big moves tonight."

Li Youyi said: "Now the Far West Ash Region has clearly become the most powerful force. If they don't act quickly, I fear the various powers will connect overnight and turn to deal with them together..."

"Could it be that Ge Xiantong was right!"

"Has the world situation evolved to that point where the Zuoqiu Sect and the Zhu Sect can only join hands with the imperial court?"

With his injuries unhealed, even if the situation in the city developed in a worse direction, Li Youyi could only watch.

He no longer paid attention to the outside world, took the healing pill brought back by Qi Xiao, and fully recuperated.

Another day and night passed.

The morning of the fifteenth day of the New Year, before dawn.

Shi Shishi finally returned to Zuihuayin and knocked on Li Youyi's door.

Opening the door was Bai Shu, wearing white pajamas.

Li Youyi was sitting on the ground, his blood energy thick, withdrawing the six battle intent shadows into his body: "Finally back, I thought you had been killed."

"Look, who did I bring?"

Shi Shishi looked outside the door like he was presenting a treasure.

Yin Eleven flashed in, and after seeing Li Youyi, he was overjoyed: "Too awesome, the whole city is going crazy, saying you beat back Ge Xiantong. And, I don't know which dog-mother-born exposed your identity as a God-Hidden Person; now everyone knows you are the leader of the Li clan Hidden Gate for this cycle."

Li Youyi rolled his eyes: "I guess it's highly likely that the Hidden Lord deliberately spread it, intending to protect me with the Li clan Hidden Gate."

Yin Eleven's smile froze, feeling it was very likely true; other hidden people didn't have the guts to leak secrets. He laughed awkwardly: "I didn't say anything just now; shall we talk about business first?"

Li Youyi said: "Tell me first, what have you been doing for the past half month? I thought you had died on New Year's Eve."

"I was almost beaten to death by Luan Sheng Lin You, but didn't I inherit the Li clan god's battle intent? After falling into the river, relying on the body talent of the dragon-deformed species and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon battle intent, I escaped by water, fled to the Bingzu Marsh Sea, and have been hiding in the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion to heal."

Yin Eleven's eyes were wonderful: "Guess what I encountered in the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion?"

"What did you encounter?" Li Youyi asked.

Yin Eleven said: "I encountered the Zuoqiu Hidden Gate! You don't know, the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion is the final stronghold prepared by Zuoqiu Hong and Zuoqiu Ting, and the Zuoqiu Hidden Gate is their final backhand, now led by me. Hehe!"

Shi Shishi laughed: "Brother Youyi, you didn't expect it, right? Zuoqiu Hong actually still has a backhand, definitely prepared for the final battle."

"It's true it's prepared for the final battle! But it actually needs to be led by him, which shows that the strength of the Zuoqiu Hidden Gate is just so-so, and can only play a role in responding and being unexpected."

Li Youyi suddenly laughed: "Do you know where the venue for the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival is tonight?"

"Where?" the two asked.

Li Youyi said: "Cang Li's invitation says: The bright moon rises on the sea, the immortal turtle carries the dragon palace."
