Chapter 197: Red Blood Covers the Zhou Army (1/2)

"How is it, have you found anything?"

On a piece of land that had just been cleared, more than a dozen people gathered here.

The one who spoke was a tall and thin man. He looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, except for a pair of very bright eyes.

"Your Excellency, no signs of spiritual medicine blooming or spiritual objects being born were found."

The answer was from a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a coarse cloth, making him look like an honest coolie.

Hearing this answer, the tall and thin man frowned slightly, and his fingers habitually rubbed an ornament on his hand.

"That's strange. What's the situation with the sudden spiritual fluctuation just now?"

Hearing the tall and thin man muttering to himself, a round-faced young man next to him carefully replied: "Sir, is it possible that someone has broken through here?"

"I have sensed that spiritual fluctuation, and it is very similar to the breakthrough of the innate warriors in the army."

"And you see that this place is so barren, it doesn't look like a place where spiritual things are born."

The round-faced young man was dressed in blue, with a shrewd and agile eyes, and looked like a shopkeeper who often dealt with people.

After hearing this, the tall and thin man began to compare automatically, and found that it was indeed as the round-faced young man said, very similar.

"It is very likely that the innate warrior who can cause spiritual fluctuations in a few miles is a late innate warrior who breaks through the peak of the innate."

"Will such a powerful innate warrior break through in such a place?"

The tall and thin man asked another question.

This time, the people around him looked at each other, and finally the thick-browed man replied: "Sir, this subordinate and others are also puzzled, but I think we'd better not provoke such a strong man."

"After all, we can have a mission this time, so it's not good to cause trouble."

The tone of the thick-browed man was obviously advising.

The thin and tall man obviously heard it, and stared at the thick-browed man for a few breaths. Being stared at by the pair of bright eyes, the thick-browed man instantly broke out in cold sweat, which flowed down his square face and dripped to the ground.

At this time, the others couldn't help but hold their breath and dared not make a sound.

"I don't like people teaching me how to do things, do you understand?"

The voice without any emotion made the thick-browed man tremble, and then he hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and replied in fear and trepidation: "I understand, the subordinate understands."

After seeing that the other party understood, the thin and tall man nodded and asked the other party to stand up.

Seeing this scene, the others couldn't help but resume their breathing rhythm.

After the thick-browed man stood up, the tall and thin man said, "You are right. The mission is important, and it is not appropriate to cause trouble."

"It's just that the place where this person chose to break through is not far from Linjiang City. Maybe he is a person with a strong foundation in a family in Linjiang City."

"Our target this time is the major families in Linjiang City, so the previous plan needs to be changed and this variable needs to be added."

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

Although they are all innate warriors, the highest cultivation is only that tall and thin man, who has a cultivation of the late innate stage, and the rest are only in the middle and early stages of the innate stage.

If that person really breaks through to the peak of the innate level and is on the opposite side of everyone, then things will be very bad.

In addition, this person leads to another question. If this person is really the foundation of a family in Linjiang City, then whether other families will also have other foundations.

Can these innate warriors really deal with these big families with deep foundations?

For a time, the atmosphere among the crowd was even heavier than before.

Seeing this scene, the thin and tall man continued: "Don't worry too much, what I said is just my guess. It is also possible that the warrior who broke through to the peak of the innate realm is just passing by."

"After all, the situation in the Great Zhou is turbulent now. Even the late-stage innate warriors are not forced to flee."

"The one here is probably a late-stage innate warrior who is on the run. It may be that he encountered a huge change, which made his own thoughts stronger and broke through the bottleneck."

"I have heard a lot of such things."

The comfort of the thin and tall man made everyone feel relieved.

Finally, the thin and tall man said something else, which completely reassured everyone: "Linjiang City is an ordinary county city, and there is at most one innate peak warrior. I have a treasure given by the temple here, which can kill any warrior below the Condensed Evil Realm."

"So, even if this person is really from Linjiang City, I can make him go without return."

After experiencing this episode, a group of innate warriors who originally came to perform the mission with a relaxed mood began to be more vigilant in their hearts.

Even the tall and thin man, the only innate late-stage warrior in the team, was the same.

They left here quickly and rushed to Linjiang City.

A group of innate warriors naturally couldn't fly over, so their choice was to disguise themselves as a group of traveling merchants.

To this end, they prepared several carts of goods and several horses to pull the goods.

But what they didn't know was that other people had already mixed into their team.

The reason why Li Yan mixed in was because the person he pretended to be accidentally found the crack.

Just when the other party went in along the entrance of the crack, he was ambushed by Li Yan's clone who was guarding there.

When the main body broke through, several clones were placed outside.

Following the previous routine, Li Yan began to interrogate this person's origins.

However, before Li Yan could ask anything from this person, there was a harsh sound outside.

So Li Yan had to ask the man what the harsh noise meant.

After receiving the information that it was a gathering, Li Yan did not dare to neglect and quickly took off the other party's clothes and put them on himself.

Then they quickly disguised themselves as the other party and hurried to the gathering place.

When asked by others if he had discovered anything, he naturally imitated that person's voice and tone and answered no.

After that, I heard the words these people made up in their heads.

Li Yan was speechless for a while. These people must have thought too much.

While following these people, disguised as merchants, Li Yan never stopped interrogating the person who entered the crack.

It wasn't until Li Yan squeezed out all the information the other party knew that he killed the other party.

According to this person's description, his name is Zhang Feng, a member of the "Red Blood Overthrowing Zhou Army". His father is a surviving member of the original "Red Blood Army", so he is naturally equivalent to a direct member.

Therefore, not only did he have the resource tilt of [Red Blood Overturning Zhou Army], which allowed his cultivation level to break through the innate realm, he also held the position of captain of thousands in [Red Blood Overturning Zhou Army].

I came here to perform a mission this time to get some gold.

Their mission is simple, to eliminate the families and martial arts schools with innate warriors in Linjiang City.

Previously, the innate warriors of Linjiang City eliminated the chess pieces planted by the [Red Blooded Zhou Army] in Linjiang County, hindering the [Red Blooded Zhou Army]'s plan to interfere with Zhou's recruitment of soldiers.

It is precisely because of the example set by Linjiang City that in the past few months, the surrounding counties and cities have also begun to remove the nails driven into their territory by the "Red Blooded Zhou Army".

These are still secondary, the main reason is that Taoist Master Shannan seems to have seen the weakness of "Red Blood Overturning the Zhou Army" from the actions taken by these states and counties.

So he directly took action and destroyed more than half of the [Red Blood Overturning Zhou Army] chess pieces in Shannan Road, causing the remaining [Red Blood Overturning Zhou Army] people to have to hide.

Therefore, Shannan Road has gradually resumed conscription.

You know, in other roads, [Red Blood Overturning Zhou Army] has developed very well, and their development model is no different from that in Shannan Road.

Why is Shannan Road such a big problem?

The senior figure in charge of Shannan Road's [Red Blooded Zhou Army] was directly dismissed from his post by the people from the Moon Temple, and was even thrown into prison to await his fate.

Before being dismissed from his post, this person used his permission to issue a final mission.

This is the mission that Zhang Feng and the others are currently performing.

If it weren't for the high-level figure who issued the mission, he would have been in prison at this time, and there seemed to be no chance of turning around.

Perhaps this task is not yet for Zhang Feng and other early Xiantian warriors, but there will be a group of late Xiantian and peak Xiantian warriors rushing to do it.

The leader of this mission is the tall, thin man in the late stage of congenital life, named Zhao Xinlin, who was sent by Dayue Kingdom.

Without Zhao Xinlin, no one would have taken on this mission.

Because no one knows what the people of Oyue Kingdom will think if they accept this mission.

The joining of Zhao Xinlin is the attitude of Dayue Kingdom.

Therefore, other innate warriors began to compete for the quota for this task.

After all, this task is not difficult, even relatively simple.

However, the reward for the task is very rich. The high-ranking figure who assigned this task set the task level and task reward to the highest level within his permission.

Not to mention, after completing the mission, you can also get the savings accumulated by those families and martial arts schools over the years.

Now that there are no more worries, naturally many people are competing for it.

If Zhang Feng hadn't had some background and connections, he might not have been able to get such a good assignment.

A group of innate warriors disguised as merchants had to travel for three days to complete a journey of three hundred miles.

The reason why it took so long was, firstly, to better fit the identity of Xingshang, and secondly, to discuss a new plan.

The plan before this was very simple. After sneaking into Linjiang City, find out the locations of the major families and martial arts schools, and then focus on destroying the Jin family first, then other families, and finally those martial arts schools.

Although the plan is simple and crude, it is extremely feasible.

Li Yan made a calculation in his mind based on the information he had obtained from the Jin family about the major families and the strength of these innate warriors.

I found that if this plan is implemented, the probability of success is extremely high.

Just because of the previous episode, the original plan became conservative.

After sneaking into Linjiang City, they decided to find out the strength of each major family before determining their next action.

This will undoubtedly be more time-consuming than the previous plan.

But this was Zhao Xinlin's final decision, and everyone expressed support no matter what they thought.

Looking at the gate of Linjiang City, Li Yan had a lot of thoughts.

He was thinking about whether to stop this group of people.

After finally weighing the pros and cons, Li Yan decided to join.

To be honest, if Li Yan really wanted to stop these people, it would be very simple.

His snow mountain clone still has several jars of Ten Thousand Snake Venoms. The clones in the Danmeng branch have been able to initially use these snake venoms to create a colorless and odorless poison.

As long as the amount is large enough, it can even poison late-stage Xiantian warriors.

Li Yan only needs to add enough poison to their food to ensure that none of them can survive.

No matter how careful they are, they will not suspect that there will be an undercover who wants to poison everyone in their group.

But the consequence of doing so is that [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] will send more powerful masters.

Even because Zhao Xinlin, a late-stage innate warrior from Dayue Country, died here, maybe there will be warriors in the Condensed Evil Realm coming.

Warriors in the Condensed Evil Realm are not something Li Yan can deal with at present.

By then, Li Yan's real body will probably leave here.

But if he joins them, then [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] will no longer pay attention to this side.

It's just that Linjiang City is afraid of chaos.

However, even if Linjiang City is in chaos, it will not threaten Li Yan.

Between two evils, choose the lesser one, Li Yan will naturally choose the latter.

And if he chooses the latter, he can also get other benefits.

For example, the heritage of the family, and the Condensation Realm technique hidden in the secret vault of the Jin Mansion that Li Yan coveted, which he found but did not show him.

Li Yan currently does not have a Condensation Realm technique, and there is currently no other channel to get a Condensation Realm technique.

It can be said that the Condensation Realm technique in Linjiang City is the easiest one for him to get.

Seven days later, in the secret room where Li Yan's body was, Li Yan's body opened his eyes.

The torch that had long been burned out made the secret room dark.

When Li Yan opened his eyes, there was suddenly a white light, illuminating the entire secret room, although it was fleeting.

The empty room gave birth to white, which was a kind of vision that the warrior's spirit affected reality.

Generally, it is a vision that will appear after a breakthrough and the mental power is improved.

Li Yan has now completely connected the seventh meridian and nurtured it to the same strength as other meridians.

The improvement of cultivation naturally led to the improvement of mental power.

At present, he has been able to observe the tenth meridian.

But he knows that this is only the reward after the breakthrough. If there is no elixir to improve his spiritual power, it will take at least more than a year for him to observe the twelfth meridian.

However, according to his current wealth and channels, he only needs about six months to open up the remaining five meridians.

Therefore, he urgently needs to improve two aspects.

Spirit and will.

Spirit is fine. His clone in the Great Barbarian Country will enter the fossil secret realm in half a month. He still has confidence to cross the seabed and reach other islands in the secret realm.

If the scene revealed by Shuize's [Universal Mirror] is true, then Li Yan will be able to obtain a batch of elixirs that can improve his spiritual power.

But in terms of will, Li Yan currently has no particularly good way to improve it.

At present, he can only take one step at a time and see if there are any treasures that can temporarily improve his will when breaking through the late stage of the innate.
