Chapter 3134 That Damn Young Master Li
From the moment it was completely silent until the signs of an ambush were finally seen, the new emperor waited for almost a whole day.

"The Han Chinese are hiding behind the trees!"

"They used a cloud and mist spell, and there are skilled archers shooting from over there!"

"Li Guang is here!"

A chaotic battle that could erupt at any moment was triggered instantly.

There was continuous rapid fire from high ground, arrows flying from afar, and sacrificial rituals causing clouds and mist, within which the sound of horses' hooves echoed incessantly.

Ambushers were everywhere, but the new emperor showed no surprise.

Just as he mentioned at the beginning, "Li Xi only has so few people," the number of people in other directions is also seriously insufficient, or even too scattered.

Three beams of cold light shot down on the Nine-Spirit Yuan Saint, causing the lion demon to roar repeatedly after falling to the ground.

"Don't linger in battle, maintain a steady pace, charge! Charge! Charge! Get back to the Holy Land as fast as you can!"

With a roar, the Nine-Headed Lion Saint took over control of the assault team and ordered the coachmen carrying the Nine Dragon Cauldrons to maintain a steady speed.

"Kunlun and the Han Dynasty have joined forces!"

A faint, indistinct voice drifted over, accompanied by a group of people wildly swinging their weapons to fend off a few stray arrows, without charging toward the attacking position.

In the highlands of the mountain valley, plumes of black smoke billowed, and the Venerable Ones and Dharma Masters of the Yedi River Holy Land were clearly casting some immediate spells to exert influence.

Zhang Xuezhou listened for more than ten seconds before patting the new emperor's hand and leaping into the air.

"I've wanted to kill these scum for ages!"

The new emperor cursed, his legs stomping rapidly as he charged upwards, sword in hand.

Heading west would require passing through the Xiong Kingdom's assault troops and facing the watchful eyes of Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng and others, so the new emperor could only choose the nearest location to seek reunion with Li Xi and his troops.

He carried his longsword and ran swiftly, the lightness effect brought by the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus allowing him to leap across the hillside.

Zhang Xuezhou only had time to rush out a few dozen meters before he saw the new emperor's long sword slashing through the woods, sending sparks flying.

A blue light rose up on him almost simultaneously. Huang Laodao used almost all of his talismans on the royal family members. The new emperor's protective power made Zhang Xuezhou breathe a sigh of relief.

Let's get down to business!

He took out the spiritwood staff that was tied behind his back and tore off the gauze wrapped around it.

As he strode closer, Zhang Xuezhou's gaze fell upon the White Bone Venerable, whose body was swaying high in the woods, emitting strange "hehehe" cries.

This venerable one was an old acquaintance of Zhang Xuezhou. He had a kind face, but his spells were mostly formed from bones, and he would kill people without even blinking.

The Yang Soul Incarnation is far less powerful than the main body when casting spells. The White Bone Venerable is currently using eighteen Yin Wind Bone Clubs to maintain the power of this incarnation with the help of external objects.

The use of this Yin Wind Bone Club is somewhat similar to the twenty-four Green Bamboo Swords that Gongsun Hong wields. The Green Bamboo Swords rely on quantity to bring about a qualitative change, while the Yin Wind Bone Club is characterized by howling, piercing, and uncomfortable winds. When used to strike someone, poisonous creatures will emerge from the inside of the club to sting them, making it impossible to defend against.

Although the Nine-Headed Lion Saint had mentioned retreating, these people were not so easy to stop once they started killing. Moreover, many of the Venerables and Dharma Masters came in their Yang Soul forms, making it difficult to kill them, but few could stop them from leaving.

"Hehehe, you bunch of fools wielding knives and swords, not one of you can hurt me. Get ready to receive my big stick..."

The White Bone Venerable wielded his magical weapon with abandon, his bone club occasionally piercing through tall weeds and trees before falling and causing violent collisions below.

He was quite satisfied with his manipulation. Occasionally, arrows would fly out, and he would either dodge them slightly or let them pass through him. Then he would slowly condense his magic to repair his avatar.

The Yang Soul Incarnation isn't a panacea, but there really isn't a good way to counter it right now.

Unless his strength far surpasses that of the Yang Soul Incarnation, thus shattering the entire incarnation in one blow, he will be very difficult to deal with.

The White Bone Venerable roared and soared into the sky, grabbing the Yin Wind Bone Club in his hand and throwing it out repeatedly.

He was about to greet the Black Mountain Venerable when he felt a sharp pain in his body, and his entire body shattered in an instant.

"It hurts so much!"

With a scream, darkness swept through the White Bone Venerable's vision before his eyes returned. He struggled to his feet, swaying unsteadily, and frantically grabbed at his surroundings with both hands.

The two disciples responsible for guarding the White Bone Venerable were shocked. When they tried to reach out and press down on him, they felt a piercing pain in their hands.

When their eyes met, they saw what looked like insects gnawing at flesh and blood on the palm.

In just a few seconds, the skin on their hands went from being broken to flesh and blood emerging, and then to bone becoming faintly visible.

"It's the Venerable One's Bone-Eating Worm!"

"Your Excellency, spare my life!"

The two disciples were shocked, but the White Bone Venerable had no time to pay attention to them who had been accidentally struck.

He reached out and grabbed wildly, even kicking over the small incense burner used for burning incense.

The cries of pain and screams continued unabated and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.

"Young Master Li, you son of a bitch! You're so strong, yet you still resort to sneak attacks! It hurts like hell!"

The White Bone Venerable scratched wildly for a while, while the Black Mountain Venerable, who had summoned his Yang Soul incarnation not far away, also cursed loudly and, unable to control the pain in his head, smashed it around wildly.

The strange behavior of the two attracted the Venerables and Dharma Masters who were staying nearby. The Left Wise King Fox Deer Gu called out to them several times, but he could not calm them down. He could only ask everyone to stay away so as not to be injured by the spells released by the two Venerables in unbearable pain.

"The battle has already begun. Left Wise King, be sure to scout out the reinforcements!"

Hongku did not go to Mayi City with the assault team.

On the one hand, he was somewhat afraid of being targeted at his true form; on the other hand, his Yang Soul Incarnation Technique was somewhat lacking, yet he was misunderstood as being extremely skilled, making it easy for him to slip up when he took action.

He called out to the Left Wise King, Fox Deer Queen, who immediately began to muster troops and arrange for people to go and meet him.

"That damned little thief got me so many Qi and Blood Creation Pills, but I can't use a single one. Now the three holy lands are fighting over the Nine Dragon Cauldron. If they get the cauldron and improve their alchemy skills, my pill-selling and medicine-exchanging will be greatly affected. There are so many cultivators watching and waiting, so it will be extremely difficult to exchange them at a high price!"

Whether it's Qi and Blood Creation Pills or Mana Creation Pills, the shortage among cultivators in Beiju Luzhou is quite significant.

Hongku had already exchanged a batch of pills and was already making a profit before he had even sold them all.

But he himself did not actually benefit from such profits.

Just thinking about the Nine Dragon Cauldron that might be sent to the Holy Land made him feel a little unhappy, and he felt that it would be difficult to make a profit by reselling the difference.

"That broken cauldron..."

Hongku muttered to himself several times, but he was helpless, as this was a matter beyond his control.

"That damned Li Shaojun, ah~"

The scream that rang out again made Hong Ku retract his thoughts.

As he scanned the area, he saw that the Venerable Weaver Emperor's Yang Soul had flown back into his body, and he couldn't help but become agitated and furious, smashing and attacking wildly.

The fact that the veteran masters were being targeted and killed one by one sent a chill down Hongku's spine.

He could only be thankful that he had stayed where he was, thus avoiding an unnecessary disaster.

"Venerable Hongku, my qi and blood are failing. I beg... I beg for a Qi and Blood Creation Pill to stabilize my body!"

The White Bone Venerable, who was the first to show symptoms, was also the first to regain his sanity.

He stretched out his somewhat wrinkled right hand, with a handful of blood essence in his palm.

These blood essences are extracted from human essence through sacrificial rituals and refined. Consuming them can generate new blood and expel old blood, thereby maintaining good health.

If blood essence is combined with elixirs and refined, it can become a unique type of qi and blood elixir.

At this moment, Venerable White Bone felt the emptiness of his body's blood and qi, and looking at the blood essence in his hand that he wanted to replenish his blood and qi, he felt a sudden sense of nausea. The valuable high-grade blood essence in his hand seemed like a series of twisted worms, making it difficult for him to swallow it.

The White Bone Venerable could not swallow the blood essence, and the depletion of his qi and blood made him extremely uncomfortable, so he could only start to ask Hongku for help.
