Chapter 93: Ye Tian

Mu Jiaoman stepped down from the air. The tribal shamans and subordinates below knelt down one after another, respectfully calling:

"Great Commander."

Mu Jiaoman ignored the few people around him, tilted his head and watched for a while, watching Li Jingtian lower her head slightly, only to find that her left eyelid was jumping.

He had been at the Qi Refining stage for more than ten years, his skin and bones were immovable and round, and he had never had an involuntary movement, let alone this state of being unable to move his eyes and breathing unsteadily.

"She..."

Mu Jiaoman spat out a word rawly. The tribal shamans and subordinates around him nodded repeatedly, smiling fawningly, and said repeatedly:

"We understand, we understand, Great Commander!"

Mu Jiaoman had been in the tribe for so long, how could he not know what these people meant? Looking at Li Jingtian, who raised her head indignantly, he was anxious to explain, but swallowed the words that reached his lips.

The subordinates below hurriedly took Li Jingtian away. Mu Jiaoman turned his head with a cold face and floated up in the eyes of everyone.

Stepping into the air lightly, Mu Jiaoman suddenly felt so happy that he wanted to dance. Fortunately, he controlled himself this time, and his footsteps didn't stop as he walked toward the tent.

Li Jingtian was naturally pulled into the stockade, untied, washed the mud off her face, and took some fruit leaf pigments commonly used by the Shanyue to draw colorful patterns on her neck and face.

She was then served to change into a set of Shanyue clothing, with many bird feathers and beast teeth, and dotted with little jade stones. The set of decorations was full of wildness, and paired with her heroic and beautiful face, it actually added a sense of majesty, which made the few old people serving her pause, and their movements became much lighter.

The cumbersome steps were finished, and the sky had darkened. Li Jingtian was brought into the military tent flashing with dim yellow lights. Just as she approached the curtain, she heard a rough male voice:

"The Great King gave the order, then went west, saying it was to guard against the anomalies in the Sandbar. Let the Great Commander organize the troops in the rear, take these living slaves to the Great Audience Hall, and let the subordinate lead a thousand troops to chase that branch of living soldiers..."

"What was the result?"

This voice was heavy and hoarse. Li Jingtian could tell it was the long-braided Shanyue Great Commander from the day.

"... The subordinate went to chase, but saw that person leading the troops into the depths of Mount Li without looking back. The subordinate was afraid of startling the great demons in the mountains, so he led the troops back..."

Mu Jiaoman frowned, squeezed the bone cup in his hand tightly, and asked with doubt:

"You personally led people to chase, and you were still able to let that person escape? Wasn't it said that that person only had Embryonic Breath cultivation."

The Shanyue subordinate kneeling on the ground hurriedly raised his head, and just as he was about to speak, Li Jingtian was pushed into the tent. The beast bones and jade stones on her body collided, making a pleasant sound.

That person looked back vigilantly, but both he and Mu Jiaoman on the upper seat were stunned for a while.

The Shanyue had lived in the mountains for a long time. The Shanyue women they saw were all like wolves and tigers, covered in hair and mud, with messy and knotted hair. Where had they seen such a beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth, and clear water eyes? Both of them were stunned, thinking blankly:

"Damn it, I said why the ancestors have always spread that living women are beautiful!"

Li Jingtian looked at the two of them quietly, watching the eyes of both of them avoid her. She had hidden the dagger on her body, but it was confiscated when she washed up. She was anxious about her father Li Xiangping's news, but was pushed in, so the two stopped talking.

"Gulp."

The subordinate on the ground swallowed his saliva, waking Mu Jiaoman up. He stared at the man angrily, coughed hard, and was about to order Li Jingtian to retreat, but the words that reached his lips became:

"You retreat."

Seeing Li Jingtian turn and leave the tent, the subordinate stammered and answered:

"I... I he... he."

After calming down and smoothing it out, the subordinate said with a hard head under Mu Jiaoman's angry eyes:

"That person was like a god helping him. He bypassed all the traps we set, and even attracted a monster. The monster didn't care about those hundreds of people, but kept attacking us..."

"Enough! Get out!"

Mu Jiaoman had no intention of listening to his defense, waved his hand to let him get out, and seeing that he was still reluctant to leave after leaving the tent, he snorted coldly, and his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining permeated out, scaring the man into fleeing in a panic.

Watching Li Jingtian being pushed into the tent by the tribal shaman outside, Mu Jiaoman hurriedly stood up, then sat down blankly, his mood as uneasy as when he tested for shaman apertures at the age of seven. Looking at Li Jingtian who raised her head to look at him, he opened his mouth hesitantly:

"You..."

Li Jingtian was not afraid at all, staring calmly at Mu Jiaoman, who was physically strong on the upper seat, and gritted her teeth:

"If you touch me, I will hit my head and die in this tent."

As soon as these words came out, she felt a bit more relaxed in her heart. Li Jingtian secretly mused:

"After I die, Xuanling won't have to worry about me, and it will be convenient for him to escape alone..."

Mu Jiaoman hurriedly waved his hand and said in a good voice:

"What is your name?"

Hearing this, Li Jingtian immediately became vigilant, her beautiful eyebrows frowned, and she said softly:

"Ye Tian."

Her real name naturally couldn't be used, so she had to make up a name to use. Li Jingtian looked at Mu Jiaoman, who was expressionless, and secretly wondered:

"Why is this Shanyue leader panting like this..."

Mu Jiaoman looked at Li Jingtian's frowned eyebrows, and a complex and crazy idea flashed in his brain, which had been loyal to Jia Nixi for thirty-six years, making him terrified and unable to calm down.

"No, absolutely cannot let Jia Nixi see this woman."

"Young Patriarch! The Shanyue have all withdrawn!"

Li Xuanxuan was looking at Mount Lijing with worry. The clan soldiers below shouted, making him overjoyed. He raised his head and looked at the crowd around him, all looking at him with eager eyes, and suddenly felt a shiver.

"Uncle has gone west to find the traces of the Patriarch. The family can only rely on me. Now is a critical moment, Li Xuanxuan! Must not be careless!"

He clenched his fists, but found the situation extremely bad. Li Qiuyang and Chen Donghe had both gone west with the army. Except for a few children who had just stepped on the path of cultivation in the past few years, only his aunt Liu Rouxuan, who was at the fourth level of Embryonic Breath, and Li Xuanfeng were left in the family.

"First send people to Lijingkou and Lijing Town to appease, and count the casualties and losses."

Liu Rouxuan was also in her thirties now. Because she practiced the immortal path, she still looked like she was in her twenties. She looked at the west with worry, nodded and said:

"I'll leave Lijingkou to me."

"Tianchou."

Wan Tianchou hurriedly stepped forward when he heard the sound, listening to Li Xuanxuan's instructions:

"You have been stationed in Lijingkou for many years and are familiar with the situation, so you will accompany your aunt for a trip."

Watching Wan Tianchou nod and retreat, Li Xuanxuan let out a breath and said in a deep voice:

"As for Lijing Town, I will go personally."

Do you want more plots about Li Xiangping and Li Jingtian on the Shanyue side, or more plots about Li Xuanxuan, Li Xuanfeng, and the Li family side? You can say whatever you want~ If there is no request, I will continue to write based on my feeling~
