C58 Decisive Killing

"It seems that Linglong was very worried about me, and she suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment! Haha!"

A voice came from outside the meeting room. Zhao Zilong and the others looked towards the direction of the voice. It was Li Yi. He was carrying a red robed disciple of the Divineflame Sect.

"Little Yi, you're back!"

Leng Linglong let out a cry of joy and immediately pounced forward, hugging Li Yi's arm.

"That, Linglong, there are a lot of people here. Be reserved, be careful!"

Li Yi was a bit embarrassed. Although he knew that Leng Linglong had always been a bold person, he didn't expect her to directly pounce on him like this. She was a little girl in her teens, of course!

"Zi Long, why did you guys come as well? Did you run into Zheng Feng?"

Li Yi was slightly surprised to see Zhao Zilong and Leng Yanran here. It seemed like they met Zheng Feng.

"Hmm, that kid is not bad. He's quite straightforward. We can get in touch with him when we get back to the sect."

Zhao Zilong nodded, he bumped into Li Yi's shoulder and blinked, "Brother, not bad, it's only been a short time and you've already captured Linglong, and you're already throwing yourself into her arms, you're really good!"

"Where?"

Li Yi's face was slightly red. He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. "Now is not the time to talk about this. This time, when I went to the Fire Spirit Land, I made a major discovery!"

"Tell me in detail!"

Zhao Zilong and the others gathered around after putting away their smiling expressions. Fourth Princess Zhao Miaoxue and Elder Bai also pricked up their ears.

"The great drought in Yue Su City is indeed caused by the leakage of fire spiritual energy from the Fire Spirit Land. Furthermore, the Spirit Land is now under the control of the Divineflame Sect."

Li Yi waved his hand and set up a soundproofing array covering the entire meeting room. He looked at the crowd and said, "All of this matches the information that we have obtained from Zheng Feng. But this time, I have discovered something more important. This Fire attribute spiritual land is not just a fire attribute spiritual land but an abandoned ancient cave dwelling. In addition to a massive amount of Fire attribute spirit stones, there are also many heavenly treasures and spirit pill treasures. "

"Xiao Yi, are you sure what you said just now is true?"

Leng Yanran's expression was very serious. If what Li Yi said was true, then this matter wouldn't be simple.

The Misty Pavilion wasn't lacking in spiritual land. If it was just a fire-attribute spiritual land, then although they would pay a certain amount of attention to it, they wouldn't need to use too many experts to pressure the Worship Fire Cult.

However, the ancient Immortal's cave was different. Not to mention the spiritual pills and treasures inside, just the ancient cultivation techniques inside were enough to make the five great sects go crazy. That was a crucial power that could determine the future of an immortal sect!

"It should be right!" Right now, the Spirit Land only had the first two layers. There should be more layers, such as the third, fourth, or even more. When I investigated this time, I found an abandoned pill refining room and some precious herbs in the spiritual land. This is only the first two levels, and our exploration was not very meticulous. "

As Li Yi spoke, he took out the jade bottle containing the Spiritfount Pill from his storage ring, "This is the high-grade heaven-step Spirit-Accumulating Pill that I snatched from Spirit Land's second floor. You should be well aware of its value, right?"

"Spiritfount Pill?" The supreme pill that is known as the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, is able to allow a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to enter the Aurous Core stage 100% of the time? "

Leng Yanran couldn't hide her astonishment as she covered her sweet mouth.

"If that's the case, then this truly isn't a simple fire spirit land. Xiao Yi's judgement shouldn't be wrong, this is an abandoned ancient cave dwelling. Moreover, it shouldn't be an ordinary ancient cave dwelling. An ordinary ancient cave doesn't have a pill like the Spiritfount Pill."

Leng Linglong's face also turned serious. As the only daughter of the Misty Pavilion's leader, her knowledge was naturally not something a normal disciple could compare with. She naturally knew the value of the Accumulation Elixir in Li Yi's hands and the meaning behind it.

"I'm not sure about that, but I'm sure of one thing. This Spiritfount Pill is mine!"

Zhao Zilong grabbed the jade bottle from Li Yi and laughed, "Xiao Yi, you can't possibly only get one Spiritfount Pill like this, right?"

Li Yi burst into laughter, Zhao Zilong, this brat, there is really nothing that can hide from him, immediately taking out another jade bottle, pouring out two fragrant longan sized pills and giving them to Leng Linglong and Leng Yanran, "Zilong is right, I did get three Spiritfount Pills, you three divide it, these pills should be very effective for you guys, but not for me."

"Incredible! He was able to obtain three of such good pills!" But little Yi, since you gave this to us, what should we do about it? "

Li Yi smiled coolly. "I really can't use this pill, because I'm not worried about breaking into the Aurous Core stage nor the calamity of four to nine days. If this pill were to be given to me, it would only increase my spiritual sense's power by a little. It's too wasteful!"

"You're right. You're a monster. This pill is indeed of little use to you!"

Zhao Zilong nodded, throwing the jade bottle back, "I just wanted this for Yanran. Since you already gave one to her, I'll give this one back to you. Like you, I'm not worried about the Aurous Core stage, why don't you give it to the person who needs it the most?"

Li Yi nodded. He didn't say anything and put away the jade bottle containing the Spiritfount Pill. Zhao Zilong was right. His battle of attrition was not inferior to Li Yi's physique. The effect of this pill on the two of them was almost negligible.

"Xiao Yi, what's with this disciple of the Fire Worship Cult that you brought?"

In response to Leng Yanran's question, Li Yi slapped his forehead, almost forgetting the most important matter.

"This is a messenger from the Divineflame Sect that I captured on the way back, and is in charge of informing the Zuiyue Dynasty to attack Yuechan City. He wants to take advantage of the fact that the Misty Pavilion has yet to react to the attacks and bring Yuesu City into the Zuyue Dynasty's territory through a secular war. According to the unwritten rules of the Eastern Region's Immortal Cultivation World, the ownership of fire-attribute spiritual lands will belong to the Orthodoxy of the Zuyue Dynasty — the entire Divineflame Sect."

"What!?" The Fire Worship Cult actually had such a plan! Fortunately, the messenger was caught by you, Little Yi, or else it would be very troublesome! "

Leng Linglong patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"It's no use. I've already asked. There are five messengers in total and they left two days ago. Right now, they are estimated to be arriving at Zi Yue Empire. Adding in the time needed to move troops and horses, the attack should arrive in two days."

Li Yi said in a deep voice, "I have already sent someone to send a message to the sect. But to be safe, City Lord Zhao, send a message to the royal family too, tell them to send their experts here immediately!"

"Yes, Senior Li!"

Zhao Miaoxue quickly bowed and agreed.

"This is not enough! After the sect receives the news, it will take at least seven days for them to dispatch their men over. The army of the Zunyue Empire will arrive in two days' time. We must hold on for five days. "

Leng Yanran shook her head, turned to Zhao Miaoxue and Elder Bai and said, "Fourth Princess, Junior Bai, hurry up and mobilize the guarding forces of Yue Susu City and all the surrounding garrison troops. We will order them everywhere, they must arrive before tomorrow night falls.

"This … For such a large scale army to be deployed within a day and a half, the City Lord's Mansion's generals might have some objections …"

Zhao Miaoxue hesitantly said.

"Anyone who disagrees, use their head as a sacrifice!"

Li Yi's voice was filled with a bone-piercing killing intent, causing Zhao Miaoxue to shiver, "This matter cannot be delayed, I don't care who the opponent is, and how important it is to you, Yue Su City, as long as he opposes the transfer of troops, he must not be lenient. City Lord Zhao, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Senior Li. Miaoxue will obey the decree. We will do it right away!"

Zhao Miaoxue shivered all over. She quickly bowed and cupped her fist. She then led Elder Bai to the military opportunity of the City Lord's Mansion.

"What I am most worried about right now is that the disciples of the Divineflame Sect and the Zero-Moon Empire will work together to attack Yue Susu City." What I am most worried about now is that the members of the Divineflame Sect and the Zero-Moon Empire will work together to attack Yuechan City.

Li Yi frowned as he watched Zhao Miaoxue and Li Jun hurriedly leave.

"This possibility does exist. After all, this was an unwritten rule of the cultivation world. If word of this got out, the five great sects would definitely join hands to punish the Fire Worship Sect! But that doesn't preclude them from killing our general in a disadvantageous situation. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll talk about it when the time comes. "Come, quickly tell us the details of your investigation into the fire attribute spirit land!"

After Zhao Miaoxue and Bai left, Leng Linglong immediately returned to her normal state. She pulled Li Yi's hand, asking him to explain in detail. Li Yi helplessly smiled and had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Zilong and Leng Yanran were clearly very interested in Li Yi's experience. The four of them sat around him in the meeting room. Li Yi explained, and occasionally there would be exclamations and laughter when Zhao Zilong and the other two asked questions.

"..."

Just as Zhao Miaoxue had feared before, the mandarin soldiers surrounding the city had received an intense response from the civil officials. In particular, the great general Meng Yi and Prime Minister Jiang Chen were strongly opposed to this.

"City Lord, this cannot be allowed. The mobilization of troops is a matter of the nation, how can you be so mischievous? "Although the Mayor is the fourth princess of the empire and holds great authority in Yuesu City, he can't be so reckless!"

Jiang Chen had a face full of righteousness as he spoke loudly from the crowd.

"This general also disagrees. If we were to carelessly mobilize such an army, the soldiers would definitely cause a commotion, which would be detrimental to the morale of the troops. Furthermore, a day and a half is just too rushed. City Lord, please reconsider!"

Meng Yi also clasped his hands and tried his best to dissuade Jiang Chen. At the same time, he exchanged a glance with him.
