Li Ye's words were not groundless, for the Feihong Bodhisattva's description was so precise that it could only remind people of this conclusion. However, as soon as the words came out, Li Ye felt weird. In the past three years, although he had been with Feihong Bodhisattva day and night, and coped with the test of the secret region with her, but it could not be more innocent between them.
So even though Li Ye said those words, he did not think that this would be the case. And he soon regretted it. After all, saying such words was offensive to the Feihong Bodhisattva; it was no different from asking for trouble.
But the Feihong Bodhisattva had no resentment.
She had no resentment, but she was serious. What she said later shocked Li Ye.
"That's probably the case," she added.
Li Ye looked at her very seriously, "Are you sure?"
The Feihong Bodhisattva rolled her eyes and added, "What do you think?"
<Inside the large tent of the Pinglu army stood three awkward-looking men. In fact they didn't know where to put their hands and feet. Facing the stares of the generals, both their faces were red. It was as though both of them were hanging on tenterhooks. The three awkward men were Zhaoyi Army commissioner, Kang Chengqian, Tianping Army commissioner, Xue Wei and Henghai Army commissioner, Liu Jingsi. After they walked in the tent and saluted to Liu Dazheng, who was sitting on the first seat below the commander's desk, they were already awkward. They felt awkward because Liu Dazheng did not say a word but just looked at them. Neither did the generals, who also just looked at them. People's eyes all revealed the same thing, a kind of sense that made you feel guilt. In fact the present silence spoke volumes. Sweat beads appeared on Xue Wei's forehead and he could no longer keep it together. He said to Liu Dazheng with a laugh, "General Liu, it's
Chu Nanhuai sighed. "The Luck of heaven is ethereal, so it's hard to explain it to you. I can only tell you that Taiyuan must be captured within three days, or the consequences are unpredictable!" Then, Chu Nanhuai told Li Xian about the situation of the Luck of heaven in detail. Li Xian said in shock, "Li Ye wants to control the altar in the secret region. It's easier said than done. With Feihong Bodhisattva there, he is unable to compete for it!" Chu Nanhuai sighed again and looked up at the night sky. Today, there were no stars and a moon, and clouds covered the sky. He looked solemn as if he had a heavy weight on his back. "In terms of cultivation, realm, fighting ability, and foundation, Feihong Bodhisattva is so powerful that Li Ye has no chance to win. If he can't defeat Feihong Bodhisattva, everything will be in vain. The so-called famous minister of the revival and the pillar of the country will be doomed."
The comprehending of the Tao of Yin and Yang also allowed Li Ye to further understand the Way of Emperor. All things in the world follow the same philosophy, and the Way of Emperor was also related to Yin and Yang. For example, the patriarchal means of temper justice with mercy and couple hardness with softness. Previously, Li Ye had already comprehended the second realm of the Way of Emperor. This time comprehending the Tao of Yin and Yang was a great elevation for him, but he did not comprehend the third realm of Way of Emperor. From another aspect, the Way of Emperor also had its independence. However, this was definitely helpful towards Li Ye's comprehension of the third realm of the Way of Emperor and the latter realms. Just like now, he clearly sensed the vitality of Dragon Qi, and it was quite happy. After coming out of the small village checkpoint, Li Ye's strength returned to before he entered the small village checkpoint, which was
Taiyuan city. Darkness filled the night as clouds covered the moon and stars. Li Cunxiao lifted his head and all he saw was the endless darkness. He returned to his desk from the window sill with a frown and opened a book. He stared at the same page for a long time; he just wasn't in the mood to read. It was not known how much time had passed before a servant knocked on the door with a report. When Li Cunxiao heard the knocking, he quickly put the book down, stood up and said, "Come in!" When the servant came in, Li Cunxiao walked in the hall too and asked hurriedly, "Quickly, tell me, how is today's battle situation?" The servant replied honestly, "The army has suffered a lopsided defeat, and thousands are hurt. The lord too is wounded, and he's now healing at home!" Upon hearing the news, Li Cunxiao trembled all over as though being hit by something heavy. His expression turned dark immediately. Af
People moved up and down the four walls of Taiyuan city like ants. It was hard to find a gap. Some areas had already been occupied by the Imperial Army. The soldiers from both sides were locked in close distance combat, and they were killing each other in tight spots; in some areas, they were still attacking and defending the city wall. Rolling stones, wood and molten iron dropped off the walls like rain and the Imperial soldiers fell off the ladders in pain and dropped like dumplings. In other areas, the city was being attacked by chariots. They leaned the chariot against the city wall and Imperial soldiers kept climbing up the wall from the chariot. Cultivators from both sides flew up and led the elite forces to provide backup for their side. They ripped the opponent's formation and defense line. Blood flowed everywhere and broken limbs were flying in the air. Owing to the fact that the battlefield was quite small and not all
Of course this blade did not fall on Shangguan Qingcheng's head. He retracted his blade half-way. He had to retract. Because Li Cunxiao was being attacked head-on. A sword was about to land on his head. The leading commander's role in a Military Formation was absolutely crucial. Thus when two sides faced off, there would often be hidden arrows within the formation aimed directly at the opponent's leading commander. To take down the man, one must first take down his horse. If the opponent's leading commander were taken down, then victory could almost be guaranteed. However, pertaining to a military warrior of Militarism, even if a ballista were deployed, it would be useless, much less a hidden arrow. This was because a military warrior of Militarism aggregated the power of the Military Formation, thus his attacking and defensive power was mighty. The usual tricks would not be able to har
The so called 'Destroying Cities' was not actually destroying a city, it was more like uprooting the whole army to attack. Though it was not the most logical attack when facing a Military Formation. 'Continuous Tides' was the much better option. Usually, this kind of 'off the point' attack would result in a loss when faced against the opponent's Military Formation. Yet with Li Xian's 'Destroying Cities' attack, Li Cunxiao's Military Formation was completely destroyed. Almost half of the soldiers within the formation could hardly stand still; it was apparent they had incurred serious wounds. Such a result had proved that Li Xian's strength was far greater than that of Li Cunxiao. The direct result was that not only did Li Xian defeat Li Cunxiao's Military Formation, but he also destroyed the majority of this part of Taiyuan's line of defense. What ensued was the Pinglu army charging bravely towards Li Cunxiao's sec
The secret region. Li Ye was breathing heavily on the white-jade steps in front of the sacrificial altar. He looked as though he was exhausted, not far from him stood the Feihong Bodhisattva, holding her sword. The Feihong Bodhisattva was still graceful with an imposing manner. Yet from her pale face and her incessant trembling hand you could tell that she was just as tired as Li Ye. At present, their cultivation was only at the level of Qi-refining Level 1. Thus before a winner could be decided after a long battle, they were both exhausted. They had to rest first and recover some of their Spiritual Qi and get ready to fight again. In actual fact, the two of them had been battling for a day and night, and they rested quite a few times. They really left nothing on the table, but still, there was no clear winner. Li Ye stared at the Feihong Bodhisattva, who was drinking again. "Could we rest for a while longer before battling aga
