Chapter 1299 A Glimmer of Hope
"What can I do?"
Zhu Sanniang twisted her fingers hard, her face full of worry.
Zang Wang's suggestion was the same as what she thought, but the reason was explained more thoroughly. She didn't want Li Sinian to get hurt, and she didn't want him to lose his memory and forget about herself, but Li Sinian had been fighting for so long and there was no sign of improvement, and she really couldn't bear to see him continue to suffer like this.
The most important thing was that she was very worried that Li Sinian would not be able to hold on one day and be completely replaced by Sihai. According to the Zang Wang, if it really came to that, there would be no chance of recovery.
If she asked the Zang Wang to help now, Li Sinian would get hurt, but at least he was still himself, even if he was very vulnerable and his temperament changed drastically, he was still Li Sinian, but if it dragged on to that point, it would be useless to ask anyone.
It was a dilemma, and as an outsider, it was hard to imagine how Li Sinian would choose.
It was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, or to grit his teeth and persevere. Zhu Sanniang didn't know. She just hoped that no matter what decision Li Sinian made, he would not regret it, let alone forget about herself and the promise he made.
"Don't worry, Uncle Four is fine, Old Zang will definitely find a way!"
Patting Zhu Sanniang comfortingly, Li Chuyi turned to look at the Zang King.
Still a little uncomfortable with Li Chuyi's "intimate" address, the corner of the Zang King's eye twitched slightly, and then nodded.
"I can teach him a mental method to temper his soul, and with my help, as long as his will is strong enough, this technique will be lifted."
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhu Sanniang bowed down, but Li Chuyi scratched his head and felt something was wrong.
"Is it painful to practice your mental method?"
"It's not painful, but it's worse than death, just like walking through the Nine Nether Purgatory." Zang King smiled, his smile was warm, but it made others feel cold in their hearts.
Shivering slightly, Li Chuyi looked at Li Sinian with pity. This is the best way. I just hope Li Sinian can bear it and don't turn Uncle Four into a crazy uncle.
"In that case, we will take the fourth uncle away first. Will you follow us or go to the Dragon Clan?" Li Chuyi asked.
Zhu Sanniang wanted to follow, but she sighed when she thought of her own people.
"I have to go to the Dragon Clan. I don't know if the Dragon Clan will accept our Centipede Clan without me. I have to settle them down before I can feel at ease."
"There are more powerful insects than just your Centipede Clan. Why go to the Dragon Clan? Just go to the Ant Clan, Butterfly Clan or the Elytra Clan. We are of the same origin, and they will definitely accept you." Li Chuyi asked puzzledly.
Zhu Sanniang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's useless. The entire insect tribe was attacked by the immortal cultivators. The ant tribe has already surrendered to the dragon tribe as a slave. The butterfly tribe and my centipede tribe are all retreating to the dragon tribe. The elytra tribe suffered the most. They didn't know that the ant tribe had rebelled and opened the door for them. As a result, the mountain defense formation was broken from the inside by the ant tribe. The ant army led the immortal cultivators to take advantage of the opportunity to enter. The elytra tribe, which didn't even have time to retreat, was killed and wounded. The scattered remnants fled into the ancient forbidden land of Yongye Forest. Their life or death is still unknown."
"So miserable?" Li Chuyi raised his eyebrows.
Yongye Forest and Jiusha Valley are both sealed by Sanyuan Taoist. The one sealed inside is a dream-eating maggot. It is vicious and cunning by nature. It feeds on the blood and dreams of living beings. It is one of the most cunning monster insects in the thirty-six heavens. In terms of the degree of trouble, the dream-eating maggot after maturity is only slightly lower than the black bee.
If Li Chuyi had not known that this monster was unreasonable and coveted the blood and vitality of the blood demon, he would not have gone to the Nine Demon Valley first. Now that he heard Zhu Sanniang say that the survivors of the Elytra Tribe had fled into the Eternal Night Forest, Li Chuyi estimated that those unlucky guys were probably dead. After all, the seal of the Dream Eater was not as strict and cautious as that of the Huo Dou or the Black Bee. Because of its unique "eating habits", the Sanyuan Taoist only sealed its body and soul, and did not suppress its divine consciousness too much, allowing its divine consciousness to penetrate the formation and wander around and hunt within a certain range, and this range is now the Eternal Night Forest in the mouth of the monster clan.
Facing a big monster that even the True Immortals are unwilling to provoke, those people from the Elytra Tribe who broke in would be like a delicacy delivered to their doorstep. How could the Dream Eater let it go?
Li Chuyi smacked his lips sympathetically and said, "If that's the case, let's leave it alone for now. Let's take Li Sinian away, and when we're done..."
"Wait."
The Burial King suddenly spoke, and after a moment of thought under Li Chuyi's puzzled gaze, he said, "The Dragon Clan has an ancient dragon tomb, in which lies the bones of a real dragon. Although the real dragon is dead, the blood in the dragon corpse should not have dissipated. The vitality of a drop of dragon blood is stronger than that of a hundred blood demons. If it can contain a little bit of the spirituality of a real dragon, it is a divine object that no amount of blood demons can compare to. Anyway, the distance is about the same, so it might be better for us to go to the Dragon Clan first. If we can get a few drops of spiritual real dragon blood, your friend's injury can recover faster."
"Yes!"
Slapping his forehead hard, Li Chuyi cursed himself for being stupid. Even a fool knows that dragon blood can break evil, so why did he forget about it!
Ji Le's illusion was extremely powerful. Normally, Li Sinian could not break free. He should have been completely replaced by Si Hai the moment it attacked. The fact that Li Sinian still retained his consciousness must have something to do with his experience in the Dragon Transformation Pool. If he could soak in the Dragon Transformation Pool again, or find some of the pure dragon blood he swallowed, Li Sinian's illness might be cured immediately. Why would he have to grit his teeth and endure so much suffering?
"Go, go, go, dragon clan!"
Li Chuyi stood up and left after urging him. Zhu Sanniang hurriedly followed, feeling surprised and happy.
In addition to escaping, the dragon clan also wanted to ask Ao Kun to open the holy land again. Now that Li Chuyi was here and there were people like the Burial King to keep them in place, no matter whether Ao Kun agreed or not, they would have to go to the Eternal Dragon Tomb.
While the demon clan was suffering, good news came from Dayan, thousands of miles away.
After decades of forbearance, the first batch of soldiers and generals who controlled the immortal power of Dayan finally came out.
Although the number of people was not large, only 20,000, there were only a few immortal cultivators in the immortal world. In terms of quantity, these 20,000 people were more than twice the total number of immortal cultivators. The total number of immortal cultivators attacking Dayan was less than a thousand people. From this point of view, Dayan's immortal army was twenty times that of immortal cultivators. Therefore, the whole country was excited after the news came out, and the result of the first battle also shocked everyone who heard the news.
After the first battle, there were less than a thousand surviving immortal soldiers, and all of them were injured, but they killed a total of 76 immortal cultivators, and more than 100 were injured. The immortal cultivators who were caught off guard had to retreat and regroup temporarily. For the first time in decades, they were forced to retreat head-on.
Such an outrageous loss ratio made the whole Dayan boil, because the 76 killed were not human beings, but immortals, immortals from the immortal world!
Since ancient times, the word immortal has represented nobility and power. Almost everyone worships and respects these extraordinary beings, and longs to become one of them. Therefore, immortals are always given all kinds of good wishes. Everyone instinctively understands and imagines immortals in the best way they think, believing that immortals are omniscient and omnipotent, and are also the best and most beautiful. Many mortals even worship various legendary immortals or tablets in their homes, and burn incense every day and worship them every year to express their piety and pray for the immortals to bring blessings.
Some of these gods and immortals really exist, while others are simply fabricated after hearing rumors. However, this does not prevent mortals from spreading their legends and deeds. Even some monks from small sects enjoy it, believing that as long as they are pious enough, they will definitely be able to get the arrival of immortals.
It was not until the three realms merged into one and the immortals raised their butcher knives against the human world that the foolish people suddenly realized that they were wrong. Immortals were not as kind and unparalleled as they thought.
But their mistakes were not too outrageous, because although immortals were not kind, their power was indeed beyond imagination.
Moving mountains and seas, tearing the sky and splitting the earth, what cultivators had to work hard to do was as easy as waving their hands for immortals.
Large tracts of land turned into wasteland, but the people in it were not displaced because they were all dead. The cultivators who had escaped by chance retreated inland with great fear, and then were defeated again, and continued to retreat. The repeated torture made many people on the verge of collapse. Sometimes they would not retreat when the immortal disaster came, and just stayed where they were, waiting for the arrival of death. They did not want to continue living in this endless fear without seeing hope.
But now, the immortals were forced to retreat.
Although the Yan army in the battle was almost annihilated, the bloody results of the battle made everyone see a glimmer of hope. For the first time in decades since the immortal disaster came, they felt that there was really hope to survive.
No one knew better than the people of Dayan what the death of seventy-six true immortals represented.
Relying on the Tiangang Yulei formation and the resistance of sacrificing one's life, Dayan has made a total of thirteen immortal cultivators pay the price of their lives for more than thirty years, and caused more than twenty immortal cultivators to suffer minor or serious injuries. And Dayan paid hundreds of thousands of lives, thirty years of long struggle, and more than half of the country. Now the imperial court has achieved nearly ten times the results in one battle with only a secret immortal army, and for the first time, it has forced the arrogant immortal cultivators to retreat from the front, paying only the lives of nearly 20,000 Yan soldiers. How can this not shock people and make people excited?
The imperial court has announced to the world that the 20,000 immortal soldiers are only the first batch of reinforcements, and are the vanguards used for testing. The real army is still behind. After all the troops have left the pass and gathered their troops, Dayan will kill all the evil immortal cultivators, take back all the lost land, and kill all the way across the endless sea to attack the immortal world, so that those immortal cultivators who think they are high above and look down on the sentient beings in the human world like grass will taste Dayan's revenge. The immortal world will be trampled under Dayan's feet, just like the human world for ten thousand years.
Not many people care about the vision behind, they only care about the first sentence.
Killing all the evil immortal cultivators, nothing is more exciting and urgent than this.
At one time, there was an endless stream of cultivators joining the army, and some small and medium-sized clans even came to join with their entire clans. On the one hand, they were eager to learn the method of mastering immortal power, and on the other hand, they wanted to take revenge with their own hands and let the blood of immortal cultivators stain their bodies.
The hatred that had been accumulated for decades was resolved in one day, and the burning fire of revenge was enough to burn everything.
Just like the general who presided over the first battle said, what about immortals, there are more people in Dayan?
As long as we find a way to restrain them, we in Dayan will unite as one, and no matter how immortal, demon, ghost or god you are, you must be crushed into slag by the iron wheel of Dayan Dynasty!
And Yuwen Taihao personally rewarded the general with a top-grade war sword at the commendation ceremony, and then he wrote a straightforward and appropriate name for this army that was not immortal cultivators but controlled immortal power.
Immortal Slaughter!
