Chapter 361 Change

Victory and defeat between Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva was indeterminable, and there were two camps of cultivators in the ruins. It stood to reason that the beam of light containing the Tomahawk components should not have appeared so early.

The Tomahawk component should only appear when there were only cultivators from one side left in the ruins. By then the city-locking barrier should also have been ineffective and the light shield would not continue to exist. The cultivators would then be free to leave the city. This was what everyone discovered earlier.

But now it seemed that things had changed.

Before the purple-blue Power Grid had appeared, no one could know what changes the purple-blue Grid would bring to the city. The destructiveness of the power grid was surprisingly great, so it would not be impossible for it to destroy the city lockup barrier.

In any case, since the Tomahawk component had appeared, the cultivators on both sides had no reason to sit idly by. They no longer waited for Li Ye and the Feihong Bodhisattva’s commands. Both the cultivators of demon clan and the Land Buddhism monks rushed to the center of the ruins to compete for copper blocks.

Although Li Ye and the Feihong Bodhisattva were fighting fiercely, they were keenly aware of this change. The two of them simultaneously feinted each other and pushed back to fight for the copper nuggets, but no one could get rid of the opponent. In this way, they fought to the white light beam.

At this time, the demon clan and the Land Buddhism monks were already fighting in one place. When Li Ye saw that the demon clan cultivators were obviously defeated, he immediately instructed them secretly by using secret methods, “You don’t need to fight to the end, go and check whether the City Lockup barrier is still there.”

The copper block appeared earlier than expected, Li Ye also wanted to know whether the City Lockup barrier was destroyed by the purple-blue grid. If this were indeed the case, then at the moment when the number of demon clan cultivators was inferior and the overall situation was unfavorable, there was no need for him to fight to the death with the Feihong Bodhisattva.

At least, he could retreat strategically.

Thus, in the process of collecting copper blocks and going to the dense foggy area in the middle of the secret region, Li Ye exerted his military talents by continually gathering other demon clan cultivators of demon clan. He gradually defeated the Land Buddhism monks step by step.

The Feihong Bodhisattva also issued the same command. If the barrier did not exist, she also needed to get the news in time to make corresponding arrangements, and the cultivators on both sides could then quickly rush out of the city.

Fortunately, although the purple-blue power grid was forcing in quite quickly, the cultivators were also running at full speed. Otherwise, the cultivators who stayed in the center of the city would be bombarded to death before the men trying to leave the city could get to the exit point.

There was always a way out. Soon Li Ye received a message from the demon clan cultivators. The city lockup barrier had been destroyed by the purple-blue power grid and no longer existed, so cultivators in the city were free to walk out of the ruins.

Li Ye didn’t hesitate, he ordered the demon clan cultivators to cover each other out of the city. He didn’t entangle himself with the Feihong Bodhisattva either, and found a chance to pull out. His retreating action extended dozens of meters backwards.

“Farewell Bodhisattva!” Li Ye hurled a fist salute to the Feihong Bodhisattva from a distance, and then turned around and hid in the woods. He walked away under the cover of trees. As for the copper block in the middle of the ruins, he simply ignored it.

In any case, at the moment, Li Ye was no match for the Feihong Bodhisattva. He would die if he continued to tangle. He had to withdraw when there was a chance and come up with a plan in time. He had to leave the copper blocks for now.

Seeing that Li Ye and others withdraw, some Land Buddhism monks who were impatient hurried to chase them, but some with stable temperaments looked back at the Feihong Bodhisattva and waited for her order.

Large patches of the Feihong Bodhisattva’s white dress had been dyed red. She looked in the direction where Li Ye escaped, and there was no expression on her calm face and no orders. The slight curvature of the corners of her eyes however, revealed something.

Immediately, she put away her three-foot green sword, stepped towards the sky pillar, and took the tomahawk part.

Having obtained the Tomahawk part, she no longer had reason to remain in this ruin. The Feihong Bodhisattva jumped to a high point and scanned the secret region. At the end of her horizon, the area covered by dense fog was still unchanged.

There were hundreds of miles between the ruins of Dingyuan City and the fog covered center of the secret region. And there were dozens of large and small ruins on all sides. Such a wide area with so many ruined cities meant that there were still many battles going on, and there might be many unpredictable changes.

The Feihong Bodhisattva smiled at last, whose smile was tranquilizing and pure, like a cloud in the sky after the rain. She took out Jade Vase and raised her head to drink the wine. The spilled wine diluted the blood on her clothes.

When walking away from the ruins of Dingyuan City, Li Ye also took Yang Tingge, who was seriously injured. And the demon clan cultivators were waiting to meet him outside the city. After the crowds gathered, Li Ye repelled several Land Buddhism monks who were chasing him, and got out of there with the demons.

Running all the way for 15 kilometers, Li Ye and others stopped to rest. Xiao Hei caught up to everyone with good news. The Land Buddhism monks did not catch up.

“That battle was really dangerous; we were almost completely annihilated.” Added Zuo Cheer with lingering fear, he was lying in front of the trunk, and allowed his companions to help him deal with his wound. His extreme fatigue made him too lazy to cry even when it hurt.

Yang Tingge added sincerely, “Zuo Che’er is right. If it were anyone else, we would be dead now. Only the Prince An can unite the Feihong Bodhisattva and defeat Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan...”

As he said this, Yang Tingge’s mouth moved for a while, and the rest of his words were stuck. Now was not the time to praise the Feihong Bodhisattva, after all, they were enemies now.

Suddenly, Zuo Che’er laughed loudly and added fiercely, “Who would have thought that the head of the famous seventy-two Earth Devils, Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan, who have always been assuming an air of superiority, would die like this. It’s a joy that they died in our hands! If I can go out alive this time, this record will be enough for me to show off for a hundred years!”

Yang Tingge snorted and added discouragingly, “Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan were killed by the Prince An, what has it got to do with you?”

Zuo Che’er didn’t take any notice. “We are all under the Prince An’s command, and the Prince An’s victory is our victory. What does it matter who actually killed them?”

Yang Tingge wanted to say something and found that it was hard to refute this statement.

He then sincerely added, “Killing Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan and getting away from her unharmed are such a feat. The Prince An’s power is beyond our expectations.”

Li Ye just got back from a nearby creek with a filled up water bag. Hearing the conversation between Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Killing Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan was mainly due to the Feihong Bodhisattva. I just picked a bargain. If it were me that faced off against them, it would be difficult to win against any of them.”

While everyone was dealing with their wounds, Li Ye and Yang Tingge discussed future plans.

They had only explored a small part of the ruins of the secret region, and most of the copper blocks had not yet appeared. And they would have to repeat the previous scramble for copper block process. But now that Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan were dead, as long as they were not under siege, there were no cultivators of the Immortal Court who could threaten Li Ye’s life. And Li Ye’s own security was greatly improved.

Although Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan were dead, there were still many cultivators of the Immortal Court, and they could not await their doom. Of course, they would fight when they met.

Li Ye’s next plan was to avoid the Feihong Bodhisattva as much as possible. At the same time, he would disperse the existing manpower, trying to find the demon clan cultivators, and give them an order to meet at the regional center at a specified time.

In this way, Li Ye could gather a lot of manpower in a short time. Then he would use the manpower to encircle the cultivators of the Immortal Court and Land Buddhism to gain an absolute advantage in numbers before entering the dense fog zone in the center of the secret region.

As long as the numbers advantage was large enough, Li Ye could besiege the Feihong Bodhisattva and defeat her by using huge-crowd strategy.

|The plan was decided, and Li Ye made immediate arrangements.

Finally, Yang Tingge suddenly asked Li Ye strangely, “Just now when the Prince An evacuated, there were a lot of Land Buddhism monks. Why didn’t the Feihong Bodhisattva lead them to chase?”

Li Ye did not know how to answer this question. He thought that his evacuation would be a difficult battle, but in fact the process was extremely smooth. It was all due to the fact that the Feihong Bodhisattva did not chase after him.

Of course, at that time, Feihong Bodhisattva might have been busy trying to grab the Tomahawk parts, and the purple-blue power grid was approaching as well. If she led people to hunt Li Ye, she might miss the opportunity to obtain the Tomahawk parts.

After all, as long as the Tomahawk was missing a piece, the Tomahawk would not be complete. And in the end, the entrance to the dense fog zone would not be able to split open.

Thinking of the Tomahawk parts, Li Ye took out the copper blocks and counted them. Huang Jingyuan’s previous collections of copper blocks were all in his hands now, so he had far more than the Feihong Bodhisattva.

When Li Ye took away Huang Jingyuan’s copper block, he did not give it to Feihong Bodhisattva, and it was unnecessary at that time. Because Li Ye was about to decisively fight with Feihong Bodhisattva, no matter who had the copper block, it would only belong to the winning side.

Now it seemed that Li Ye had taken the advantage.

But Li Ye, was still not very joyful at the moment even with the advantage.

Because this was not obtained by his wisdom and means.

He glanced at the direction of the ruins of Dingyuan City. There was no Dingyuan city there, only the ruins that destroyed by the purple-blue grid. As for the Feihong Bodhisattva, she had already left with her people.

...

Taiyuan.

Surrounded by generals, Li Keyong stood in front of the gate tower and looked out at the camps of Pinglu Army, Zhaoyi Army, Henghai Army, and Tianping Army outside the city.

Unlike earlier when his eyes frowned with concern, now, Li Keyong’s eyes were not frowning. Instead, he looked rather upbeat.

With the sudden opening of the Tao of Heaven’s secret region, the Great Cultivators of the Immortal Court, the Land Buddhism and demon clan that gathered near Taiyuan were all sucked into the secret region. To the ordinary eye, they witnessed a group of people vanishing into thin air.

If it weren’t for the fact that the mountain where Li Ye had stayed temporarily was no longer approachable, Li Keyong would have thought that Li Ye and others had already died.

The mountain that Li Ye stayed, the exact mountain where he faced off against Huang Jingyuan, still looked normal. But be it ordinary guards or elite cultivators, as long as they approached a certain range, they would completely lose their sense of direction. And they would fall into a situation like a “ghost hitting the wall”, rotating in place, unable to walk in at all.

After all, there were Buddhism cultivators with Li Keyong, and he would naturally be told that it was a manifestation of the secret region’s opening, so that he should not act lightly. On the side of the Pinglu Army, Li Ye had made arrangements early, so the three armed forces were in good order.

“Seven days had passed, and I do not plan to wait any longer. Li Ye is not there, the enemy has no commanders. This is a rare chance, and I have no reason to let it go.” Li Keyong added slowly, with his every word weighing like a mountain, he exhibited strong battle will and determination.
