Chapter 97: Two Months Later

Summer passed and autumn came, and it was two months later.

Yin Thirteen sat on a four-meter-long magic artifact jade boat, his body steady, unaffected by the turbulent water flow, entering the vast river valley where the Nine Li Insect Valley was located along the intricate underground blood river.

He was about twenty years old, his face round and soft, his skin fair, and he had a small tuft of beard on his chin.

Walking to the high cliff carved with "Nine Li Insect Valley", the jade boat docked on the right bank of the Blood River.

As a Five-Sea Realm expert and one of the wind agents collecting information outside the Nine Li Hidden Sect, Yin Thirteen was one of the few Hidden People who mastered the route from the underground river to the Nine Li Insect Valley.

As for Yin Twenty-Three, Yin Twenty-Four, and Yin Twenty-Five, these young people didn't even have the qualifications to officially graduate, and needed to practice and grow in the Hidden Sect.

Yin Thirteen landed, and his palm stretched toward the void.

"Whoosh!"

The four-meter-long magic artifact jade boat flew up, turned into a delicate small boat four inches long, and fell into his palm.

A knowing smile appeared on his face. This treasure at the level of a medium magic artifact was really easy to use. In the water, it could travel one thousand eight hundred miles a day, and ordinary fierce insects couldn't catch up. The underground river, this special transportation network that everyone feared, was his world from now on.

"The imperial court still has good things, no wonder everyone wants to rule the world."

Putting the magic artifact jade boat into his arms, Yin Thirteen heard the sound of battle collisions in his ears.

It was the direction of the mental power stone wall.

Is someone challenging the three people on the mental power stone wall?

Yin Thirteen was surprised in his heart, walked quickly through the purple forest, and arrived at the edge of the square under the mental power stone wall.

"Thirteen Senior Brother!"

"Seen Thirteen Senior Brother!"

Yin Twenty-Three, Yin Twenty-Four, and Yin Twenty-Five had been watching the battle here, and they all saluted Yin Thirteen.

There was no such etiquette between the three of them, because the strength difference was not too big, and it was not certain who would be stronger in the future. But Yin Thirteen had entered the Hidden Sect more than ten years earlier than them, and his cultivation was already unfathomable.

"Twenty-Five, why are you still so thin? I thought it was you challenging the mental power stone wall, how is it, have you reached all-silver?" Yin Thirteen’s fingers pinched Yin Twenty-Five’s chest and asked with a smile, then his eyes cast toward the one person and one shadow fighting in the center of the square, and his eyes instantly focused.

Yin Twenty-Five’s chest hurt, and he could only endure it, saying: "Almost! But even if the veins are all silver, don't think about lasting twenty moves under Hidden Nine Axe... The gap between ninety-one veins and one hundred veins is not ordinary."

"Hidden Nine has also been defeated? Who is this kid, actually challenging the Hundred-Vein All-Silver Yang Shenjing."

The more Yin Thirteen watched, the more shocked he became, his eyeballs almost falling to the ground. After all, being able to fight back and forth with a Hundred-Vein All-Silver Pure Immortal Body was absolutely a seed-level figure of a successor.

Yin Twenty-Five was full of emotion: "The newcomer this year, he has only been in the Hidden Sect for four months, and his combat power has been growing rapidly every month, as if there is no bottleneck."

Except for the four Hidden People, Yao Yin, dressed in a cloud-shirt white robe, stood at the edge of the square like a fairy entering a painting, quietly watching the battlefield, her pretty face more serious than anyone else.

Several Hidden Sect elders of the older generation also appeared, looking from afar in the medicine kitchen.

Yin Thirteen stared at Li Youyi for a long time, thought of something, and suddenly realized: "So it’s him, he actually joined the Hidden Sect. Interesting, really interesting!"

"Thirteen Senior Brother knows him?" Yin Twenty-Four said.

"In the past few months, he has quite a reputation in Li Prefecture. Especially two months ago, after destroying the Changlin Gang, it was like poking a hole in the sky, and the Yang Clan’s bounty on him has been rising again and again. An elder-level figure of the Xue Clan has spoken out that he will personally take action to kill him and avenge Xue Zheng. Fortunately, he is hiding in the Hidden Sect, otherwise, the Cang Li Tribe might not be able to protect him."

Yin Thirteen counted the treasures, and continued: "It is said that he is a Nine-Spring Supreme."

"It is also said that his combat power is comparable to the Hundred-Vein All-Silver Pure Immortal Body, and he is a successor seed of the Nine Li Tribe, wanting to cultivate him into the second successor after Cang Li. Originally, I thought the rumors were too exaggerated... tsk tsk..."

"By the way, it is also said that he and the fourth young lady of the Cang Li Tribe are in love, but Yang Yun intervened, so he formed a grudge with the Yang Clan. The story of a poor boy and a rich girl is always full of twists and turns, and the competitors are one stronger than the other."

Hearing this, Yao Yin couldn't help but look at Yin Thirteen.

Yin Twenty-Four frowned: "What kind of messy rumors are these, I know Li Ling, and these two people don't look like they will easily fall in love."

"I am a wind agent of the Hidden Sect, my news will definitely not be groundless. The Prefecture Governor’s Mansion specifically investigated him, and he had already met the head and mistress of the Li family in Yao Guan, and was deeply valued by the Cang Li Prefecture Head. For this brother-in-law, Cang Li once shouted at all the young generation Wu Xiu, causing quite a stir," Yin Thirteen laughed.

Yin Twenty-Four fell into silence, not knowing what she was thinking.

In the Nine Li Tribe, "Li" is the largest surname.

But the only one who can be called "Li Family" is the direct main line of the Cang Li Tribe, because they are the descendants of the Cang King. Cang King, the eldest son of the Nine Li God, is the first main line in name among the descendants of the Nine Li God.

"Really strong, almost on par with Yang Shenjing, no wonder he is valued by the Cang Li Tribe and wants to recruit him as a son-in-law," Yin Thirteen said.

Yin Twenty-Four sneered: "With his top-notch talent, how could he be a son-in-law? The Cang Li Tribe is too arrogant, and Li Ling is just a half-immortal body, how can she be worthy?"

"Bang! Bang..."

Li Youyi’s magic power overflowed, as if wrapped in clouds, continuously swinging the Yellow Dragon Sword, resisting the long spear danced by Yang Shenjing.

In the past two months, he had tempered fifty-five golden veins, and his physical strength had increased by a large margin.

But tempering golden veins delayed a lot of time, and he failed to break through to the Ninth Spring Ancestral Field. The biggest disadvantage of not opening the Ancestral Field is that there is only magic power in the Wind Mansion to perform one martial arts stunt. And the Nine-Spring Supreme who opened the Ancestral Field can mobilize magic power to erupt with more than ten, or even dozens of combat powers that transcend his own cultivation.

Just like Hidden Nine, in the state of mobilizing Ancestral Field magic power, combat power surges, and he can fight back and forth with Yang Shenjing. Only when the Ancestral Field magic power is exhausted will he be defeated immediately.

With the blessing of golden veins, the magic power in Li Youyi’s body flows faster and smoother, plus the increase in physical strength, he can finally withstand the attack of Yang Shenjing in the state of mobilizing Ancestral Field magic power. Before, it was hard to block even one move.

"What a powerful Yang Shenjing, has he been so vigorous in Ancestral Field magic power for twenty-seven moves?"

"What a powerful Yang Shenjing; it has already been twenty-seven moves. Is his ancestral field Dharma Qi truly this abundant?"

After seven moves.

"Boom!"

Li Youyi split Yang Shenjing in half with one sword, turning into two groups of spiritual light magic power, flying into the mental power stone wall.

Li Youyi stood tall on the square, exhaled a long breath, looked at the bloodstain on the tiger’s mouth, and secretly thought: "With eight-spring cultivation, it is still too difficult to resist the battle explosion state of the Hundred-Vein All-Silver Pure Immortal Body mobilizing Ancestral Field magic power! Must break through to Nine Springs, should be able to crush it in one or two moves."

"A difference in realm is a difference in heaven and earth."

Yin Thirteen stared at Li Youyi who was sitting and adjusting his breath, gradually digesting the shock, and then many doubts arose: "If I didn't see it wrong just now... he has been not mobilizing Ancestral Field magic power? With normal combat power, defeated the Hundred-Vein All-Silver Pure Immortal Body?"

The other three Hidden People all had strange expressions, they knew some inside information, and seriously suspected that Li Youyi simply hadn't broken through to the Ninth Spring yet.

But how is this possible?

There is no such record in history!

The several Hidden Sect elders watching the battle all had relaxed expressions, showing smiles, looking extremely happy.

Yin Thirteen went to pay respects.

"Little Thirteen, you rushed back from the underground river, is there anything important?" The old man guarding the gate asked.

Yin Thirteen said: "Big things have happened frequently in the past few months, especially the great changes in Burial Immortal Town, which have attracted the attention of cultivators in the world. I entered the underground river from that side, rushed back specially, and intended to see the Hidden Sect Lord."

The old man guarding the gate is the organizer of external information, responsible for handing important news to the Hidden Sect Lord. He asked: "Is there any new change in Burial Immortal Town?"

Yin Thirteen nodded: "The Immortal Mist space inside Burial Immortal Town, a few days ago, underwent a violent expansion, and some special treasures were continuously born. Even the Four-Pole Ape King appeared six days ago, the whole sky was covered by demon energy, hundreds of miles of darkness."

All the Hidden Sect elders were moved.

The Four-Pole Ape King entrenched in Tianya Ridge is the most terrifying evil demon in the South Territory. Every time he has a birthday, all parties in the seven prefectures of the South Territory have to send gifts, otherwise it is disrespectful and will bring great disaster. Even the three barbarian thieves Coffin Mountain "Xu Fodu", Earth Wolf King Army "Shi Na'er", and Night City "Yuwen Yan" have to pay respects.

Such an existence coming to Li Prefecture, all major forces in Li Prefecture must tremble.

The old man guarding the gate asked: "Does the Zuoqiu Gate have any movements?"

In the South Territory, the Zuoqiu Gate is the first speaker, the ten-million-strong gate has a high threshold, and the demon king also has to retreat. If the Nine Li Tribe had not declined, it would naturally have this strength.

Yin Thirteen said: "The successor of the Zuoqiu Gate arrived at Burial Immortal Town, and has already fought with the successors of Cang Li and Dragon Gate, the outcome is unknown."

"In addition, the Luan Tai Angel arrived in Li Prefecture secretly half a month ago, and visited the leaders of the nine major tribes one after another, carrying the magic decree of a palace master of the Lingxiao Palace. Obviously, he came to urge the Nine Li Tribe to send troops to suppress the barbarians, and also to raise resources and food for the imperial army."

The old man guarding the gate sneered: "This is treating the Nine Li Tribe as a granary and treasury, everyone wants to take a bite."

"The Luan Tai Angel represents the imperial court after all, the Lingxiao Palace has not fallen yet, and Yu Yaozi is still the world’s number one expert, no one can afford to offend."

Yin Thirteen added: "This Luan Tai Angel is said to be extremely young, and has already shouted at the Dragon Gate successor, wanting to kill him in Li Prefecture."

The old man guarding the gate sighed.

Lingxiao Palace and Dragon Gate, the Nine Li Tribe can’t afford to offend either side now, whoever dies in Li Prefecture is a disaster.
