C61 I've Been Intimidated

"Yes, my master, Zhou Tong, is also the Misty Pavilion's Supreme Grand Elder. Senior Brother Zhao Zilong and I are Master's final disciples!"

Li Yi's usual modesty was gone. He pointed his finger at Zhao Zilong, and his words revealed a sense of superiority, which was very much in line with his reputation as an elite disciple of the Misty Pavilion.

"This is my senior sister, Leng Yanran. She is the last disciple of our Misty Pavilion's sectmaster, Great Elder Zhou Qing." This person is amazing. The only daughter of our Misty Pavilion's head, Young Sect Master Leng Linglong, is also my dao companion. "

When she heard Li Yi introducing her to be his dao companion, Leng Linglong's face flushed red and she rolled her eyes at Li Yi in rebuke. In her heart, she was secretly happy.

On the other hand, Shi Jian's face became very serious. Every time Li Yi introduced them, Shi Jian's face became darker. When he heard that Leng Linglong was the daughter of the Misty Pavilion's leader, Shi Jian's heart skipped a beat and immediately sank to the bottom.

The daughter of the Misty Pavilion's master, the last disciple of the grand elder, and the last disciple of the sectmaster had all come. Shi Jian wouldn't be so naive as to think that these people were idiots and came to die on their own accord.

Someone who could become an elite disciple of the Misty Pavilion was definitely not a fool, not to mention they were all the sect head's daughter and the last disciple of the Supreme Elder.

Furthermore, from his son Shi Gang, Shi Jian knew that Li Yi was an expert at pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Plus, he had the talent to fight against an Aurous Core stage demon king, Shi Jian would never believe that Li Yi would bring a group of elites with him.

Li Yi smiled. He could already tell from Shi Jian's expression that his plan had worked. Now was the time to add fuel to the fire.

"Sect Leader Shi, I believe you can guess the purpose of our visit today. I've already investigated all the tricks that the Fire Worship Cult has done in this Yue Su City. The four of us are here on the orders of our Master. "

Li Yi said to Shi Jian in a condescending tone, "Hierarch Shi, you should be clear about the difference between our sect and the Misty Pavilion. To be honest, we can easily eliminate them with any one of our powerful warriors. Of course, the big sects have the bearing of the big sects, something like this is something we normally wouldn't do. There is an unwritten agreement in the cultivation world that the location of the spiritual land is decided by the secular world it belongs to. "

"The reason my master sent us here this time is to convey this intention to High Priestess Shi. Since you want to rely on this agreement to take over the Fire Spirit Land, then don't make any other moves. Our Misty Pavilion will naturally abide by this agreement and not bully the weak. Otherwise, I don't think I need to say more about the consequences. "

"Of course! The Fire Worship Cult will naturally abide by the agreement made by the cultivation world. Please tell your Master, Senior Zhou, that I, Shi Jian, pay my respects to him!"

As expected of the head of a sect, the one who was cursing the most was Li Yi. He had a smile plastered on his face. The fact that his words were wrong made even Li Yi sigh secretly.

"I will definitely pass on Sect Leader Shi's words to my Master. Then, we will take our leave!"

Li Yi nodded at Shi Jian with a "you're smart" look. He gave Zhao Zilong and the others a look, and they walked out of the tent.

"Oh, right. Sect Leader Shi, there's something I forgot to tell you. Yesterday, when my master came to Yue Su City, he did not control himself well. He released a little of his aura, which affected the battle situation. You won't mind, will you?"

When they were about to leave the tent, Li Yi seemed to have thought of something and stopped. He turned his head and asked with a smile.

Shi Jian's face changed as he regained his composure, "It's nothing, why would I mind?"

"That's good. Farewell!"

"Send out the order to continue the attack. The killing mission is cancelled!"

After Li Yi and the others left, Shi Jian's face instantly darkened, and his voice contained a hidden rage.

"Father, why didn't you take them down? Don't tell me you really believe what Li said?"

Shi Yan had an impulse to ask Shi Jian to take Li Yi and the other three people down, but Shi Jian didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly.

"Rather believe than not! We, the Worship Fire Cult cannot afford to gamble, much less lose! "

Shi Jian looked at his son with hatred, "I have my doubts about the strange situation on the battlefield. Even I can't sense it. Only powerful warriors above the Body Fusion stage can do that. That kid surnamed Li is most likely telling the truth! "

"Right now, it seems like the Misty Pavilion is acting against us because the Five Great Doors of the Eastern Region aren't giving them face, so they let these few juniors deliberately anger me and cause a dispute. If I really can't hold back and want to take them down, then that would be giving the Misty Pavilion an excuse to attack! Furthermore, according to my calculations, as long as I make a move, Zhou Tong will appear. This is the martial madman that caused the expression of the entire Eastern Continent's Immortal Cultivation World to change.

"Yes!" Father, you are thinking that Gang'er thought of this matter too simply! "

Shi Gang broke out in a cold sweat. So there were so many ways to go about this!

The other disciples of the Fire Worship Cult also looked at Shi Jian with admiration. Shi Jian couldn't help but be proud of himself, "You want to lure me to do something? Do you think I, Shi Jian, would be that stupid to do it?" "Humph!"

"..."

"Xiao Yi, you looked so arrogant before. You scared that Flame Worship Cult's Hierarch into a daze. Haha, it's funny just thinking about it!"

In the meeting room of Yuesu City, Zhao Zilong was patting the back of his chair with an exaggerated look and laughing out loud. Luckily, everyone was already familiar with his mischievous look, so they didn't find it strange.

"But to be honest, Xiao Yi, you did really well today. Not to mention those people from the Fire Worship Cult, even I was stunned when I heard that. If I didn't know the truth, I would have believed your words!"

Leng Yanran's cold face also revealed a smile, while the lively Leng Linglong beside them was filled with excitement and admiration.

Li Yi lightly smiled. To him, such a small matter was nothing. It was just a little bit of understanding and research on human nature.

He had been in the martial world for so many years, and he was used to seeing the dark side of people. Plus, from what he had heard from the Divineflame Sect, Shi Jian's personality, Li Yi had expected that Shi Yan's performance and words would be effective.

"Alright, now is not the time to flatter me. Although I know that my performance today is really amazing!"

Li Yi made a rare joke and then said with a straight face, "Alright, let's stop joking around. Our current crisis has not been resolved yet. City Lord Zhao, how long until the reinforcement forces of the Kingdom of Tianfeng arrive? "

"Senior Li, we should still need about another day or so. We should be able to arrive at the earliest possible time tomorrow morning."

Zhao Miaoxue quickly answered.

For the past two days, Zhao Miaoxue, who was younger than herself, had clearly felt this Senior Li's wisdom, ability, and tricks. Now, Zhao Miaoxue often felt a top-down pressure in front of him, which she did not feel even when facing her Imperial Father.

This was not the oppression of one's cultivation, because Li Yi would usually hide his aura, it was a completely spiritual pressure, a display of reverence.

"One day... "The experts from the sect should arrive in two days. If that's the case …"

After pondering for a moment, Li Yi raised his head and said, "City Lord Zhao, inform the reinforcements to slow down and arrive in two days!"

"Slow down? "Why is that?"

Not only Zhao Miaoxue, Zhao Zilong and the other two were also puzzled by Li Yi's order.

"I made this decision just in case. Our current military force is smaller than the Divineflame Sect. This is their advantage. "Even though we managed to intimidate them today, this kind of deterrence is very fragile. The other party just needs to harden their hearts to probe them and they will break down."

Li Yi looked outside the meeting room with a hint of worry in his eyes: "I don't know if you've heard the words' desperate and useless things', but I think everyone should understand. "Now that the Divineflame Sect has the upper hand, they will continue to use secular methods to attack the city if they don't know the truth of our situation. They hope that they can use secular methods to seize Yue Susu City and obtain the ownership of the Fire Spirit Land."

"However, once this advantage is lost, they will most likely take the risk. By then, our lies will be exposed and the experts from the sect will not arrive. The result …"

Zhao Miaoxue didn't stop for a second as she walked out of the hall. The whole day was just her estimation, and if there was any mistake and reinforcements arrived early, then it would be troublesome. She had to quickly send the news out!

"..."

Two days later, at the Zunyue Empire's camp, within the main camp of the Fire Worship Sect.

"Trash!" Another two days had passed. They clearly had the advantage, but they couldn't even break through the outer city walls! What use do I have of generals like you? "

Shi Jian was furious. The Spirit Severing pressure came from his body. The two generals who were kneeling on the ground were crushed into fine powder without even a sound.

Shi Jian was about to say something when his face suddenly changed. A few Nascent Soul stage disciples only saw a series of afterimages as Shi Jian disappeared into the tent.

"Swish!"

Shi Jian appeared in the sky above the camp and sensed the powerful Zhen Yuan vibrations coming from far away in the sky. Looking at the silent Yue Susu City, he suddenly understood, "Damn it! I've been tricked by that stinking brat, you bastard! "

Li Yi and the others' soul consciousness was much weaker than Shi Jian's. After Shi Jian appeared in the air for about ten breaths' time, Li Yi and the others also sensed him flying in the air.

"The experts of the sect have finally arrived!"

In the distant horizon, a dozen huge floating battleships slowly appeared, heading towards the direction of Yue Su City at shocking speed.

"So, so spectacular! Our sect actually has such a warship! It's simply the ultimate weapon of war! "

It was Li Yi and Zhao Zilong's first time seeing such a huge battleship, and more than ten of them at that!
