201: I can't do it alone, there are them too (asking for monthly tickets)

The next day, as the morning light first rose, ten thousand golden rays dispelled the morning mist.

In the square in front of Xuntian Hall, the Commanding Platform ascended, and a shili ( Bronze tripod) shone brightly in the golden light.

In front of the shili ( Bronze tripod), two Grand Ministers from the imperial court, dressed in blue robes with cloud patterns and a crane embroidered on their backs, held three golden-yellow, exotically fragrant special incenses level with their brows, chanting strange syllables and softly singing, performing a sacrificial ceremony!

Behind them, below the Commanding Platform, Pei Yanhu led the officials and soldiers, their expressions solemn.

Further back, ten scions of official families from the imperial court were scattered in the corners of the square, watching silently.

At this moment, on the Commanding Platform, the two Grand Ministers inserted the incense into the shili ( Bronze tripod). Then, two pale red, eight to nine-foot-long Flag Festival appeared simultaneously in their hands.

With a stomp on the ground, Yunding Peak immediately trembled.

Whoosh.

A strong wind swept across the sky and earth. Above Yunding Peak, a swirling cloud formation, about a li in circumference, rapidly formed, rotated, and extended downwards, splitting into two streams that poured into the bodies of the two Grand Ministers.

The clouds lifted the two slowly, and in the distance, colorful clouds and ribbons, and rumbling chariots approached. At this time, the two Grand Ministers turned around and first glanced at Pei Yanhu.

The shorter, older-faced Grand Minister, leaning on his Flag Festival, nodded at Pei Yanhu,

"Commander Pei, we're leaving!"

Pei Yanhu led his soldiers, bowing their heads.

"Farewell, Sir!"

"Farewell, Sir."

At this moment, this Grand Minister looked back again,

"You young lads, who among you is willing to accompany us two old fellows to the front line, to meet the Yao Race of the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

"Me!"

Then, a female voice rang out.

A woman dressed in a five-colored robe flew up, followed by a roar in the Void Realm. A small, furry green beast on her shoulder leaped into the Void Realm ahead, growing larger with the wind, transforming into a seven to eight zhang tall Yao Race beast with green fur all over, resembling a lion's body with a wolf's head, and two long, white jade-like fangs protruding from its mouth, letting out a roar towards the sky. The woman flew and stood on its back, her colorful clothes fluttering in the wind, dazzling and brilliant.

"Not bad, what a girl from the Qin family."

At this moment, another man was seen flying up.

He wore a black robe, his body like an iron tower, his face like a human bear, his body covered in thick hair, his head obscured by the black robe, making it unclear. As his Qi burst forth, a fierce aura surged out.

"Descendants of the Gongyang family, I wonder how much they have inherited."

The Grand Minister with wrinkled skin narrowed his eyes when he saw this person appear and nodded.

"Anyone else?"

No one below responded.

The remaining eight people's eyes flickered, each with their own thoughts, avoiding the Grand Minister's gaze.

"Alas."

The old man shook his head and said nothing.

"Let's go."

As he spoke, the clouds suddenly rose, and the two transformed into a mist scroll, rushing towards the chariot high in the sky.

The woman in colorful clothes with the surname Qin, and the Gongyang descendant, followed them.

"Woo woo."

On the square, a desolate horn sounded.

Soon, the sky trembled, and a loud rumbling sound echoed. The chariot on the clouds transformed into a white line, shooting directly towards the distant south.

At this time, inside Jinguancheng, the common people heard the horn and looked up in surprise, only to see yesterday's chariot heading south, and discussions immediately arose again.

And on Yunding Peak, in front of Xuntian Hall, Pei Yanhu turned around, looking at the distant chariot, his gaze far-reaching.

Hopefully, good news will come!

Then, he lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the figures scattered around the square. When his gaze swept over a figure dressed in a black robe with cloud patterns, a glint flashed in his eyes, then he subtly shifted his gaze, feigning to adjust his sleeve, and spoke indifferently:

"Gentlemen, what are your plans?"

"You are all pillars of the imperial court, and this Fushi naturally welcomes you. If you don't mind, you can stay long-term."

"No need to trouble the Commander, farewell." A voice immediately came.

Then, a figure flew away.

The others either bowed from a distance or simply left without a greeting, also departing from Yunding Mountain.

As Pei Yanhu watched these people leave, especially the Li family's retainer, a silver electric glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and beckoned from back to front.

"General!"

His subordinate Recorder came over.

Pei Yanhu's eyes were solemn,

"Go prepare the men, the flag formation, take my great seal, and go to the Weapon Repository to get weapons."

As he spoke, he extended his hand, and a white jade great seal about a foot in size appeared. Then Pei Yanhu continued to instruct:

"After this Fushi goes up, you lead your men to listen for any movement at all times."

"This person must die!"

As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Deputy Commander's eyes.

"Yes!" The Recorder respectfully took the great seal with both hands, then quickly left.

Pei Yanhu's eyes suddenly became brilliant silver, then silver electric light surged around him, and with a crackle, he vanished from his original spot, leaving only a few fine silver electric arcs in the Void Realm, which suddenly dissipated.

At noon, sixty li south of Jinguancheng, in a mountain forest, a cry of anger and surprise rang out.

"Li Wuchang, you are just a dog of the Li family! How dare you plot against us? You deserve to die! If my Zhao family finds out—"

In the middle of a collapsed valley, there was a large pit over a hundred meters wide.

In the pit, the man surnamed Zhao clutched his chest, disheveled, his body cracked all over, blood continuously flowing from the hideous cracks. About two zhang away from him, a broken green greatsword was stuck diagonally into the pit wall, its spiritual light dim, and its break was clean and smooth, as if it had been cut off by some Sharp Weapon.

Beside the large pit, a shattered corpse was scattered, its face unrecognizable.

Just then, a whoosh descended from the sky.

A foot landed heavily on the Zhao man's chest, abruptly cutting off his cry of anger and surprise, followed by a terrifying, chilling crunch. His chest instantly collapsed, and his hideous ribs actually pierced through the skin and flesh.

"Ah!"

A shrill, tragic scream.

The Zhao man suddenly lifted his head, his face contorted in pain, letting out a heart-wrenching shriek of agony.

Then, blood surged madly into his throat, making a "gurgling" sound, then overflowing from the corners of his mouth.

His furious eyes, which seemed about to pop out of their sockets, were filled with the fear of death, and a hint of shock and anger.

He didn't understand, he clearly hadn't provoked this person!

His gaze met the grinning face, and he only felt that this person was like a vengeful ghost.

"I didn't provoke you, at most I just said a few words about you, why... why?!" He roared unwillingly before his death.

However, the Li family's retainer smiled, his voice filled with coldness,

"What a joke. Even if you did nothing, I would still kill you. This is Grand Minister Sima's order, because your Zhao family is disobedient."

As he spoke, he shook his head, squatted down, and patted the other's face,

"The Zhao family shouldn't have sent a useless person like you here."

"Your second brother, who cultivates on Wudao Mountain, is much stronger than someone like you, who relies on piled-up resources. Just because he's a concubine's son, hehe, people like you just love to cling to status. You don't know how hard we struggled to climb up."

"I don't know what people like you are thinking. If you don't have enough ability, don't show off in front of me. Maybe you're too used to your comfortable lives."

After he finished speaking, the Li family's retainer's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the hand that was patting instantly transformed into a claw, grabbing at the Zhao man's head.

In an instant, the head exploded like a watermelon, red and white matter flying everywhere. The soul within was also completely shattered, without even a single scream.

After killing the man, the Li family's retainer rummaged through the Zhao man's body, pulling out several bottles with Restriction spiritual light from his sleeve. He put them away, then formed a hand seal, and a wisp of flame rose, striking the man's corpse at his feet.

Immediately, the flames raged, engulfing the corpse. In just a few breaths, only a black charcoal imprint remained on the ground.

Following that, this person ran to another corpse and repeated the same operation.

This corpse seemed to be another man surnamed Zhou.

One was in the Dao Soldier Realm, and the other in the Dao Seed Realm, yet they both fell to the Li family's retainer in just a few moves.

Just as the Li family's retainer finished cleaning up the traces and was about to leave, a voice echoed above the valley.

"As expected of a Sharp Weapon under the Li family. If the adults of the two families knew about this, I wonder what their reaction would be?"

As soon as this voice sounded, the Li family's retainer, Li Wuchang, his expression suddenly turned severe, and his gaze sharply swept towards the north side of the valley.

On a low peak on the north side, the Void Realm crackled, and as a silver electric arc leaped, Pei Yanhu's burly figure appeared, and an incomparably powerful Qi surged through the valley instantly.

"So it's Commander Pei!"

Li Wuchang narrowed his eyes, a gloomy glint flashing within them.

"You've been following me all along?"

"Since the Li family's retainer has come knocking, if this Fushi didn't react, then I would have held this position in vain all these years." Pei Yanhu's face was expressionless.

Li Wuchang thought back to where he might have revealed a flaw, and quickly thought of a possibility, but it no longer mattered.

"It doesn't matter."

"You want to kill me?" He laughed.

"A retainer running rampant in my Fushi, plotting against my Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, for this alone, this Fushi will surely kill you!" Pei Yanhu's eyes flickered with frantic electric light, his voice filled with killing intent.

"If I, Li, want to kill someone, no one can stop me. You can't keep me here." But the Li family's retainer shook his head.

"Of course, it's not just this Fushi!"

As he spoke, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the distance, stepping through the air!
