Wuyazi didn't know how Li Ye could achieve Level 9 of Qi-refining. It had been only seven years since Li Ye succeeded in Qi-refining Stage in the Tai Xuan Summit. Even though he achieved one realm each year, he should be at Level 7 of Qi-refining, but now, it was obvious to Wuyazi that he was already at Level 9.
But, of course, Wuyazi didn't fear Li Ye, not even afraid of him. He was now halfway through the Foundation-building Stage. There were very few people who had higher cultivation than him in the entire Zhongnan Mountain.
It was very difficult to make progress when a person was already at high-level Qi-refining. There wouldn't have been so few people in high-level Qi-refining otherwise. From Level 9 of Qi-refining to the Great Completion to the semi Foundation-building Stage, there seemed to be no threshold, but in fact, every step had a barrier. So Wuyazi knew that he had enough to overwhelm Li Ye only relying on the realm of his cultivation.
<A strange look flashed in Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji's eyes upon hearing Li Ye's words. It seemed that Li Ye knew Qin Zongquan's affairs, which was very abnormal. In principle, it was impossible for Li Ye to know the internal affairs of Zhongwu Army for he was far away in Pinglu. Zhou Ji was still hesitating, but Yang Fuguang had already turned his eyes to Song Jiao before finally pulling them back. When he introduced Song Jiao, Li Ye said very clearly that she was in charge of all his spies. She was the leader of the spies instead of the scouts, which was a very meaningful title. In combination with the other's cultivation, it was not difficult for Yang Fuguang to figure out that the spies Li Ye talked about were likely to be in Jianghu. However, this was not unusual since he had heard of similar things. When Li Xian was alive, he had a habit of using the Jianghu cultivators to collect battle information in every conquest. Gao Pian was no different.
Li Keyong had fallen silent, melancholic and helpless. After a moment, he said, "There is no need to mention the past, what should I do now?" Huiming was about to talk when the curtain of the internal tent was opened, and a young woman walked in. Before she had appeared, her voice could be heard, "Naturally, you should wait for your opportunity." After seeing this young woman, Huiming got up and put his palms together devoutly. The young woman was not what you would call beautiful, but she had bright eyes and gentle manners. And she was obviously from a large, noble family, and a pure-blooded Han. Having returned Huiming's courtesy, she said to Li Keyong, "There's only one person, my husband, who can defeat Huang Chao in the whole world. The rebels would not be kept at bay unless my husband joins the battle. It is better to train the troops and accumulate strength rather than begging for food. If someday the imperial court gets
They started the conversation at the same time, and both of them felt a little embarrassed. But after all, Zhu Wen was a ruffian before. He had a bold and forthright disposition. Immediately, he stood up while laughing out loud. Li Ye was also a person who came from the earth such that he didn't have so many scruples, either. So he also stood up to meet him. By giving a salute to each other, they eliminated the embarrassment between them naturally. Zhu Wen invited Li Ye to sit with them, and Li Ye agreed. After all, talking with each other while sitting on two tables was still too inconvenient. When Zhu Wen and Li Ye met each other, they liked each other. The first impression was crucial. Both of them felt that there was no dissatisfaction between them. But Zhu Zhen did not like Li Ye that much. Instead, he thought that the three beauties were very pleasing to the eye. In fact, since Zhu Zhen entered the shed, he had fixed his eyes on Song J
Speaking of this, Li Ye shook his head and smiled. "The rebels are not invincible. The reason that they could seize Chang'an is that the vassal states along their way had lost their confidence to the imperial court such that they didn't block the rebels with all their strength. Now the rebels have occupied Chang'an, but they still need to go on expeditions all round. Up to now, the rebels haven't even totally conquered Guanzhong. Not to mention Zheng Tian in Fengxiang and the Vassal State Army which is fighting against the rebels at all places. I haven't heard that the rebels can attack and take a city in a short time." Li Yi paused and continued. "As for scholars... If what I know is right, not many scholars are in the rebels. And there are even fewer of them in important positions. Though the rebels go all over the country with great ease, people in the rebels live by plunder. They haven't governed a place for real. Is it because they don't want to rule? No. It is be
Wuyazi suffered a dreadful injury and returned. Once he entered the city, he fainted in the street. The soldiers who guarded the city gate rescued him. When he woke up, the first thing he wanted to do was not to find a place to treat his wounds but to see Zhu Wen as soon as possible. Wuyazi told Zhu Wen everything that happened in Xuzhou. He suggested that Zhu Wen prepare for war in case Prince An was plotting something. Besides, Wuyazi was deeply fearful of Li Ye's strength, and that of the Senior and Junior Priestesses, and others with them. So he urgently contacted the Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain by using their secret method. He also asked them to send cultivators who had higher cultivation here to help Zhu Wen stabilize the situation in Dengzhou. They must never give Li Ye any opportunity. The Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain was located in the Central Government where there were many cultivators. The Taoist sect was even more powerful than Pengl
Of course, Li Ye recognized that the man in the black robe was Wuyazi, whose arm he cut off two days ago in Xuzhou. Seeing Wuyazi rushing towards them seemingly to stop them, Li Ye at first thought it absurd. After all, Li Ye could defeat Wuyazi in one strike even at his prime. At his present condition, Li Ye felt Wuyazi had drastically overestimated his own abilities. But soon, Li Ye realized something was wrong. He quickly warned Song Jiao as well as the Senior and Junior Priestesses. "Retreat!" Wuyazi dashed toward them with a crazed expression. His eyes now looked as sharp as blades, and he opened his arms after rising in the air. Without any defense, he speeded up to the extreme and suddenly shot at Li Ye and others at high speed. When he came up to Li Ye and the others, he shouted ferociously. "The Taoist sect will prosper!" Then Wuyazi blew himself up in mid-air! With a bang, the body of Wuyazi turned into
Dengzhou. Zhu Wen hadn't been in a good mood since he bumped into Li Ye in the tea shed. They had fought hand to hand, but he'd lost and fled with his tail between his legs. Besides, Li Ye had killed Wuyazi. But Zhu Wen did not go around all day looking miserable. No matter what, he had already met Prince An. Zhu Wen lost the fight to Prince An because there were too many experts around Prince An. It actually had little to do with his own strength. In addition, Zhu Wen had had a conversation with Prince An and now knew more about him. So Zhu Wen felt that the battle wasn't a total loss. The most significant change brought by this battle was that Zhu Wen no longer rejected the Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain like he used to. If Zhu Wen had enough experts around him, he would not have been in danger and he wouldn't have fled in a hurry. Zhu Wen was good at self-retrospection. And he had a clear assessment of the situation. He re
The two Arrow Formations were like two giant arrows. They became two sharp arrows, shooting at each other on the broad plain. The momentum of the arrows was very mighty, causing the dust to rise in clouds. The rumble of galloping horses was like the sound of thunder, eclipsing all other noise. Two Arrow Formations composed of fine cavalrymen in armors drew closer and closer—100 steps, 50 steps… Finally, they clashed. The moment the two armies faced each other, their long spears were on the line before their horses. The two opposing teams of cavalrymen stuck out their long spears beyond their horses' heads and stabbed at their enemies. The whinnies of the horses suddenly arose. Shining spears clashed, generating a clear sound. The sharp point of their spears penetrated armor and body. Sad, shrill cries mixed with the sounds of horseshoes, covering everything and shielding all senses. The cavalrymen in the forefront of the two ar
