Chapter 468 Become a Master!
"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have not met the master of the Ming Dynasty. I surrendered to Li Chengguo, but all my family members died. Now I meet the Marquis. I am really lucky in my lifetime."
Thanks to the Marquis for not giving up, Kuang is willing to die for the Marquis! "
To this day, Li Kuang knows that even if he doesn't want to surrender, he can only surrender.
He knew that the reason why his family members were executed must have something to do with the imperial court, but the problem was that he felt that the biggest reason was Li Chengguo and Li Yuanxiu.
The other party mistakenly thought that he was dead and even arranged to arrange his family members at will, which led to him being rushed and killed by the rebel army.
Anyone who cares about him at all should not arrange his family members so casually.
After thinking about it, Li Kuang finally suppressed the trace of loyalty in his heart. First, Li Yuanxiu secretly plotted against him, and then his family members died. How could he be loyal to him again when the other party treated him like this?
Of course, after enduring nearly half a month of torture from the imperial court, he was also frightened at the moment.
He chose to surrender to Jiang Che in exchange for a chance to survive.
He knew that Jiang Che could use him. As one of Li Chengguo's right-hand men, he had great prestige in the Zhennan Army and even had 20,000 troops under his direct command.
I am confident that I can conquer them.
This is the guarantee for his survival.
Therefore, even though it was speculated that the death of his family members was inseparable from the imperial court and Jiang Che, he still chose to ignore the matter and knelt down towards Jiang Che.
Although Jiang Che was a little weird about Li Kuang's words, he reacted quickly, walked up to Li Kuang in person, helped him up, and patted his shoulder happily.
"I already know the loyalty of General Li. As long as the general is willing to abandon his secrets and turn to the bright side, I will not treat him badly. In the future, I will wipe out the traitors such as Li Chengguo.
The Zhennan Army was still under the control of the general. "
"The Lord Marquis treats me like this, and Kuang Zi will die in return in the future."
Li Kuang looked serious.
After some false excuses, Li Kuang took his seat, and Jiang Che returned to the top position.
Li Kuang thought carefully and spoke first:
"I would like to report to the Marquis, regarding the Zhennan Army, my subordinates did conceal it before. According to my guess, Li Chengguo at most took away the part of the Zhennan Army stationed at the border, and within Yuezhou.
There are at least 50,000 elite Zhennan Army troops hiding and distributed throughout the province."
"General Law pointed it out."
Jiang Che then took out a map of the entire Yuezhou area.
Li Kuang did not refuse, and pointed out six mountain ranges in the picture:
"These six places were all built by Li Chengguo. He was very ambitious and made many preparations. Even the formations he built were not accurate in location.
Even a great master of Shen Xiang would have a hard time finding the exact place in the vast mountains."
Li Kuang didn't say anything before, just to wait for a price, but now he has made it clear that he will join Jiang Che. If he doesn't say anything anymore, it will be unreasonable.
He must show his value.
Jiang Che glanced around and understood.
Once Li Kuang pointed out the specific location, the rest was very simple. He only needed to send people to pull them out one by one. However, Jiang Che thought deeply and did not decide immediately.
Because what he wanted was to subdue the elite Zhennan Army for his own use, rather than annihilate them.
Although he is now the general of Yuezhou Zhennan and is in charge of the military and political affairs of Yuezhou, the problem is that there are too few soldiers and horses under his command. Although many soldiers from the government have joined him, those soldiers and horses are too weak.
I don’t even understand the military formation. I don’t know how long it will take to train troops.
Only by subduing the entire Zhennan Army can he truly control an elite army of his own.
And through his previous actions, he also understood that the Zhennan Army was equivalent to Li Chengguo's private army, and it was extremely difficult to subdue it unless Li Chengguo's guy was dealt with first.
But with the strength he can currently mobilize, he may not be able to deal with the opponent.
The most important thing is that the Baiyue Allied Forces are also eyeing it and are about to move north.
If the two collude, the pressure he faces will be too great.
Therefore, Jiang Che feels that if he wants to have a chance of winning, the most important thing at the moment is to upgrade his cultivation to the Yuanshen realm as soon as possible. With his combat power, he can definitely be ranked at the top of the list.
While Jiang Che was thinking, Li Kuang spoke again.
All the pros and cons of conquering the Zhennan Army were described one by one. The most critical point is that if you want to conquer the Zhennan Army for your own use, you first need to deal with Li Chengguo.
Otherwise, most of the Zhennan Army would not have surrendered.
"General Li's words make sense. This matter should not be rushed."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Che changed his tone:
"According to Deputy Zhou's words, General Li knows the whereabouts of the evil-dispelling Lei Xin Bead?"
"Yes, my subordinates did find out."
Li Kuang nodded.
"Where is this thing?" Jiang Che continued to ask.
"In Li Chengguo's hands."
"In Li Chengguo's hands?"
Jiang Che's pupils shrank and his brows furrowed slightly.
Li Kuang said very seriously:
"My subordinates have followed Li Chengguo for many years. Although he has covered up the Qingtian Sect, most things will not be hidden from his subordinates, just before Jiazi.
Li Chengguo took a shot of an evil-proof thunder heart bead at the Black Evil Society, and used it to continuously refine his soul and improve his cultivation. He had promised his subordinates before that he would wait for them to survive the fire disaster.
I will give this to my subordinates.”
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, leaned back slightly on the big chair, and frowned.
He knew that what Li Kuang said was probably true, because the Evil-Resisting Thunder Heart Bead was not only a spiritual object for overcoming tribulations, it was also a top-quality treasure that could temper the soul.
For Nascent Soul, it is very dangerous to temper rashly, but for Master Yuanshen who has already survived the fire disaster, he only needs to be careful and there will be no problems.
You can use the effect of thunder beads to temper your soul bit by bit and enhance your foundation and strength.
But the problem is
The evil-repelling thunder heart bead is in Li Chengguo's hand!
Not to mention that he currently has no trace of Li Chengguo at all. Even if there was, it would be difficult for him to get it. After all, now is not the time to ambush Li Chengguo before.
When he was able to force Li Chengguo into a panic, it was because there were three great sages on his side besieging one person, but even so, Li Chengguo was only slightly injured.
If he really fights alone, he will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent with his current strength.
But now, Li Chengguo is not only assisted by several adopted sons of the great masters of Shenxiang, but also the Qingtian Sect to help him. If he really has a head-on confrontation, unless he uses the Martial Saint Jade Puppet.
Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to suppress the other party.
If he wants to have the strength to rival or even surpass Li Chengguo head-on, he must transform Yuanying into Yuanshen. Through this, his cultivation strength will skyrocket, but if he wants to transform Yuanshen.
You must get the Evil-Resisting Thunder Heart Bead.
This is a paradox.
The most important thing is that there is not much time left for him.
The atmosphere in the hall quickly fell into stagnation. Seeing Jiang Che's serious expression, Li Kuang did not dare to interrupt for a while. Of course, he also had some vague speculations in his heart.
I feel that the reason why Jiang Che pays so much attention to the Evil-Repelling Lei Xin Bead must be because Jiang Che may be about to break through.
Although he was shocked by this, there was nothing he could do.
Li Chengguo has been hiding top spiritual objects such as the Evil-Repelling Thunder Heart Bead, unless he or the brothers below have a chance to break through.
Li Chengguo will not give the Thunder Heart Pearl.
"Da da."
Jiang Che's fingertips tapped on the armrest beside his hand, and he was silent for more than ten breaths before he came back to his senses, looked at Li Kuang and said:
"Can you possibly guess Li Chengguo's whereabouts?"
He had decided at this moment that if he could find Li Chengguo's whereabouts, he would not hesitate to use the Martial Saint Jade Puppet to kill him this time in order to seek the evil-proof Lei Xin Bead.
Use a life-saving trump card in exchange for the opportunity for him to become a master.
Although it was difficult to make a choice, Jiang Che still chose to focus on cultivation.
Li Kuang looked thoughtful and said hesitantly:
"My subordinates do have a few guesses, but the possibility is not high. After all, Li Chengguo's connection with the Qingtian Sect has always been a secret. Judging from the current situation.
Li Chengguo is probably seeking to become a saint, and he will definitely leave no loopholes."
"Sanctification?!"
Jiang Che looked serious.
If this is the case, then he can't keep the other party.
Otherwise, once Li Chengguo becomes a saint, the consequences will be too serious.
A genuine Martial Saint, not to mention him now, even after he becomes a sage, it will be absolutely impossible to resist him, and the court will not be able to free his hands.
The ancestor of the Qi family might save him, but judging from his condition, he probably wouldn't help him deal with Li Chengguo.
In this way, after Li Chengguo becomes a saint.
There was only one choice left for him.
Either die in battle or leave Yuezhou.
"No matter what, I have to investigate this matter. I will leave it to you to lead the investigation. If I can find the whereabouts of Li Chengguo, I will definitely give you a heavy reward."
"I obey my orders and will do my best to investigate."
Li Kuang cupped his fists and saluted.
Jiang Che nodded, and then he was about to let Li Kuang go down and summon Zhou Xuan and others to discuss the matter, but his eyes suddenly froze and he suddenly stopped him.
"Do you have any other instructions from the Marquis?"
"You have followed Li Chengguo for many years. Do you know if Li Chengguo has any hidden cards?"
Li Kuang looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a few moments, he nodded:
"Li Chengguo has a lot of tricks. His subordinates speculate that he has hidden a lot of strength. If a strong Martial Saint is not available, few people can defeat him. Moreover, Li Chengguo is suspected of having Martial Saint tricks hidden in his hands."
"Martial Saint's method?"
Jiang Che frowned, somewhat unconvinced.
After all, if Li Chengguo had the martial arts skills, he wouldn't have been forced into such an embarrassing situation in Tianlong Temple before.
Seeing that Jiang Che didn't believe it, Li Kuang quickly explained:
"My subordinates have absolutely no intention of deceiving the Marquis. Li Chengguo accidentally revealed this matter at the beginning, saying that even if the Martial Saint takes action, he may not be able to do anything to him.
Twenty years ago, Li Chengguo once ventured through the Hundred Thousand Mountains and was ambushed by ferocious beasts of the Martial Saint level. In the end, he was safe and sound. Therefore, his subordinates and the other brothers secretly speculated.
Li Chengguo either had a strong Martial Saint protecting his way, or he had the background to block the attack of a strong Martial Saint. However, through the results of the last battle at Tianlong Temple.
The subordinates feel that the reason why Li Chengguo has not used it must be that there are some restrictions on that method, or that he has never brought that thing with him."
When Li Kuang said this, Jiang Che felt that it was getting more and more difficult.
According to his guess, even if he had the Martial Saint Jade Illustration, he might not be able to help Li Chengguo. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have given up the Martial Saint Jade Illustration to capture Li Chengguo.
But there is also a paradox in this matter.
If he had used the Martial Saint Jade Puppet back then, there was a high probability that he would have suffered an accident when he destroyed the Blood Sea Sect.
It can only be said that fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and misfortune and fortune are interdependent.
"You go down first"
Jiang Che waved his hand, his expressionless face showed no joy or anger.
Li Kuang did not dare to refute, and after saying "I'll take my leave", he left the hall.
After Li Kuang left, the whole hall was left with only Jiang Che and the Red Blood Demon Lord hidden in the Wanjie Demon Sword, and it suddenly fell into silence.
The Red Blood Demon Lord also felt the current thorny and difficult situation of Jiang Che.
Although he didn't know what Jiang Che needed the Evil-Repelling Thunder Heart Pearl for, he could guess that it must be related to the tribulation, but the problem was that the thing was in Li Chengguo's hands.
From Li Kuang's words, it can be inferred that Li Chengguo may indeed have the foundation of a martial saint, and even if he spent that martial saint jade doll, he might not be able to take down the opponent.
And judging from the strength and means that Jiang Che can mobilize now, it is estimated that there is not much hope to suppress the joint efforts of Li Chengguo and Qingtian Sect.
And there is another problem.
That is, the whereabouts of Li Chengguo is still unknown.
It is not certain whether it can be found.
The Baiyue coalition has also begun to move. At most seven days, the other side will inevitably invade in a large scale. If both sides are defeated, they will not be able to match Li Chengguo.
Unless Lingjian Mountain and Beiling Qi can be persuaded to show their strength, there will be room for maneuver.
Or ask the real strong men of the court to fight to decide the outcome.
But this is also difficult.
Beiling Qi has already contributed too much. Except for Qi Zhengnan, most of Beiling Qi's power is now with Jiang Che. The martial saint seems to be afraid of something.
There is no interest in taking action.
The court wants to sit back and watch Jiang Che borrow the power of Beiling Qi to fight Li Chengguo to the death, so as to consume the strength of both sides, and basically will not put in too much effort.
As for Lingjian Mountain, there is even less hope.
The Red Blood Demon Venerable didn't think that Lingjian Mountain would bet all its treasures on Jiang Che. Even though Zhao Xianzhi was Jiang Che's woman, it was impossible for Lingjian Mountain to make a decision in just a few days.
Looking at Jiang Che's thoughtful expression, the Red Blood Demon Venerable couldn't help asking:
"What should we do now?"
Jiang Che let out a long sigh, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind. He squeezed out a smile to the Red Blood Demon Venerable:
"It's very simple, I will become a Venerable."
"Become a Venerable?"
The Red Blood Demon Venerable was full of surprise.
What a joke.
Is this what you said you could achieve?
If it was really that simple, there wouldn't be so many great masters who could not make any progress in their lifetime. Moreover, Jiang Che hadn't yet obtained the Thunder Heart Bead of Exorcism. He could feel that this thing was the key to Jiang Che's becoming a Venerable.
If he rashly forced a breakthrough, the consequences would be disastrous.
It's a little late, sorry!
