After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 489: Pressure on Yuezhou! Unstoppable!
"Your subordinate greets the Marquis."

Li Xian, dressed in armor, bowed to Jiang Che, with a lingering uneasiness in his eyes. He didn't understand why Jiang Che called him back in a hurry.

I was afraid that I had done something wrong.

Therefore, after receiving Jiang Che's order, he had almost no hesitation. After putting down the matters at hand, he immediately rushed back to Yangping Pass without stopping.

Li Xian was very self-aware and knew that he was no longer in the situation where he was once cared for. As a surrendered general, he had to put himself in the right position.

"Don't be nervous. I summoned you here because I have something to ask you."

Jiang Che waved his hand and signaled Li Xian to sit anywhere.

"I wonder what you want to ask, sir?"

Li Xian asked quickly after sitting down.

Jiang Che didn't waste any time and went straight to the point:
"Zhennan Marquis Li Chengguo was destroyed by the thunderbolt that day. His body and soul were annihilated, leaving only a blood source divine bead. All the accumulation of hundreds of years was annihilated by the thunderbolt.

What do you think about this matter? "

What do you think?
When Li Xian heard this, he was struck by lightning and immediately bowed to Jiang Che:

"My Lord, please forgive me, your subordinate."

"I don't mean to blame you. I just want a spiritual object from Li Chengguo."

When Jiang Che saw this scene, he knew that all of Li Chengguo’s savings must be in Li Xian’s hands.

Li Xian lowered his head and replied:
“Before the battle of Yangping Pass, my adoptive father had already prepared for failure and indeed left behind a considerable amount of resources, but those resources were not completely handed over to my subordinates.

My adoptive father once said that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. If we lose the battle of Yangping Pass, he will inevitably fall into danger. For this reason, he distributed some things to us, his adopted sons, in advance.

If we lose this battle and we survive, these things will be used as compensation for the soldiers of the Zhennan Army in the future. Therefore, after discussing with Li Sheng, I did not hand over all of them to the Marquis. I deserve to die."

Jiang Che nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this. In fact, when he was cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, he had searched for a lot of resources from many grand masters.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to distribute all the rewards and pensions at once.

Li Chengguo's arrangement was reasonable, so he had no intention of blaming him. He just said:
"Since this is Li Chengguo's legacy, I will not covet it. However, you must hand over the evil-repelling thunder bead in Li Chengguo's hand. It will be useful to me."

"Evil-repelling Thunder Heart Pearl?"

Li Xian was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't understand how Jiang Che knew that this thing was in Li Chengguo's hands. In a flash, he thought of Li Kuang who had joined Jiang Che.

I understood where Jiang Che got the information from.

"Yes, is this thing in your hands?"

Li Xian hesitated and whispered:

"Reporting to the Marquis, this item... This item was actually not in my foster father's hands before the battle of Yangping Pass. And there are more than this item, there are several spiritual items in my foster father's hands.

They have all been used up in exchange for spiritual objects that can help you transcend tribulation."

"Ok?"

Jiang Che frowned slightly when he heard this, and Li Xian thought that Jiang Che was suspicious of his words, so he knelt on one knee:
"I will never speak falsely. I am willing to swear an oath to the devil in my heart."

"Then do you know where this thing is?"

Jiang Che looked at him calmly.

"Yingchuan Guo family."

Li Xian spoke directly without hesitation.

"Tell me in detail."

“In order to achieve a breakthrough, my foster father actually made a lot of preparations. Not only did he get help from the Qingtian Sect, he also exchanged a spiritual object for the Yingchuan Guo family. The price was the Thunder Heart Bead that could ward off evil spirits, as well as several other spiritual objects.

This matter was handled by me personally. Yingchuan Guo was too shrewd. She knew that my adoptive father was at a critical period, so she asked for a high price. However, since a breakthrough was imminent, my adoptive father had no choice but to accept her threat.

Li Xian immediately recounted the whole story.

While Jiang Che thought it was a great coincidence. Before the battle of Yangping Pass started, he forcibly drew forces from several major families in his capacity as the governor of Yuezhou.

Among them, Linyuan Wei family made the greatest contribution, Tiannan Gao family also sent a grandmaster to help, but among the top forces in Yuezhou, only Yingchuan Guo family remained indifferent.

If the war had not been about to break out, and the Yingchuan Guo family had not been so powerful, he would have taken action long ago. Now that the war is over and the final settlement has come, the Yingchuan Guo family will naturally have a share.

This way, he can save a lot of trouble.

Looking at it now, the reason why Yingchuan Guo family did not take action at the beginning was probably because they were sure that Li Chengguo could become a saint. It's a pity that the other party bet on the wrong horse and had to pay the price.

"I already know about this matter. You can go back and continue the cleanup."

Jiang Che waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat.

But Li Xian did not leave. Instead, he immediately took out the storage spirit ring from his sleeve and presented it to Jiang Che with both hands:

"All the legacy of my foster father is contained in this. I am willing to present it to you, my Lord."

Holding this hot thing, Li Xian was really frightened at this moment.

But Jiang Che chuckled:
"Why, do you think that I am so greedy that I want to have everything in my hands?"

"I dare not, but I feel that the Marquis is in urgent need of money and resources. Although I am not talented, I am willing to do my best to help the Marquis."

"Alright, step back. Since this thing was prepared by Li Chengguo for the Zhennan Army, you can use it here. I have never robbed my own people of anything."

Jiang Che waved his hand disinterestedly.

Li Xian wanted to say more, but saw that Jiang Che looked unhappy. He realized that Jiang Che was not deliberately refusing, so he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took his leave and left the hall.

After the other party left, Jiang Che slowly leaned back in his chair, tapping the armrest with his fingertips, thinking about what to do next. He already had a grudge against Yingchuan Guo.

Now that the evil-repelling Thunder Heart Pearl is in his hands, it is time to put the matter of exterminating the entire family on the agenda.

Coincidentally, just when Jiang Che was waiting for Ao Kun to come out of seclusion, Yingchuan Guo sent someone to ask to see him, obviously wanting to resolve previous grievances.

However, the Yingchuan Guo family was not sincere enough and only sent a grand master of Dharma. Even the head of the family did not come in person. For this reason, Jiang Che directly gave the order and did not allow the other party to even enter the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Doing so undoubtedly revealed his attitude, which made the Guo family's grandmaster feel a little panicked. He immediately sent a message to the clan, asking about the next countermeasures.

As the head of Yuezhou's aristocratic families, Yingchuan Guo's strength far exceeds that of Linyuan Wei's. Even Tiannan Gao's strength is inferior to theirs. It can be said that they are the top aristocratic families in the martial arts world.

But the problem is that Jiang Che is stronger. Now that the war is over, although Jiang Che suffered heavy losses, his subordinates are still powerful, with more than ten great masters of divine appearance under his command, and 90,000 Zhennan troops serving him.

In addition, Jiang Che has more than 100,000 soldiers who have experienced bloody battles and are preparing to merge with the Zhennan Army. If you really count them, the troops he has already exceeded 200,000 elite soldiers.

In addition, there are a large number of underworld forces at their service.

Now that he has become a powerful figure, Beiling Qi clan has made a huge bet on him. Most of the clan's forces are under his command, and the remaining force of Xuehai clan is Linyuan Wei clan.

There are also first-rate forces such as the Tianhe Sect, all of which have sent their disciples to join Jiang Che's troops. This is definitely a terrifying force that can shake an entire state.

It can even sweep across the Baiyue countries.

How can the Yingchuan Guo family, with just their own strength, resist?
Let’s not talk about whether the martial saint of Yingchuan Guo family has passed away or not. Even if he is still alive, Jiang Che is no longer as afraid as before, not to mention the power below.

The Beiling Qi family alone can suppress the Yingchuan Guo family!

And at this moment, inside the Guo Clan Ancestral Hall in Yingchuan.

After receiving the news from Yangping Pass, the entire Yingchuan Guo family was facing a formidable enemy. They were obviously frightened by Jiang Che's current power and felt scared. Several of the elders looked at the head of the family with some dissatisfaction.

Because when Jiang Che forcibly mobilized troops before, several elders of the Yingchuan Guo family were actually willing to agree and support it. At the very least, they should have done something like the Tiannan Gao family did.

The result was that he bet on Li Chengguo to win, which led to his feud with Jiang Che.

Now that Jiang Che has become the dominant force, he is currently cleaning up the underworld forces in Yuezhou. If he were to turn his troops and directly lead an army of 100,000 to Yingchuan Prefecture, what would the Guo family use to resist him?

The most important thing is that now that they are trying to ease the relationship, Jiang Che obviously doesn't care anymore and even shows signs of taking action. The Yingchuan Guo family is instantly shrouded in a layer of haze.

Thousands of years of heritage may be lost because of this.

"Master, now that things have come to this, you should make a decision. Should we fight or make peace? If we fight, what should the rules be? If we make peace, how should we make it?"

One of the elders tapped his cane and spoke with a stern look on his face.

He was the first to break the silence, and the others also spoke up.

"War? What can we use to start a war? Jiang Che has hundreds of thousands of fierce soldiers under his command. Once they form a battle formation, how can we stop their attack with only a few mountains? Don't forget, Jiang Che is known as the God.

It is said that he is now ranked in the top three of the list. Even if we join hands, I am afraid we may not be his match, not to mention the great masters under his command.

Maybe Jiang Che doesn't even need to make a move, we can't stop him, the Xuehai Sect, Tianlong Temple and Longhu Dao Sect all had precedents not long ago."

"Third Elder, your words are a bit too encouraging. The Guo family is indeed weak, but they are not so scared, right? Looking at Jiang Che's behavior today, it is obvious that he has the intention to take action.

I think we should abandon our family business and leave Yuezhou immediately before Jiang Che takes action."

"Leave? That's a simple idea for you. It took our Guo family a thousand years to grow from a small family to the current situation and become the first of the three great families.

If I leave, won't I lose my ancestors' foundation? Moreover, can I be safe if I flee to another state? Don't forget, Jiang Che is a high-ranking official in the court.

With just one word from him, he can label us as traitors. Moreover, the interests of the states and prefectures have already been divided. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. If we go, we will definitely be besieged."

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait for death?"

Perhaps Jiang Che himself could not imagine how powerful his own ferocity was. With just an obscure meaning, he was able to plunge the Yingchuan Guo family, a thousand-year-old family, into panic.

Sitting at the head of the table, Guo Zixing, the patriarch of the Yingchuan Guo clan, frowned as he listened to the arguments around him, his expression looking a little unhappy.

As the clan leader, he naturally knew the current situation, but before this, he didn't know that Jiang Che would actually win this battle. After all, when he made a deal with Li Chengguo.

We have already learned how much force Li Chengguo has mobilized this time.

The 300,000-strong Baiyue coalition army and the 100,000-strong Zhennan army joined forces inside and outside. A total of more than 30 great masters of divine appearances from both sides arrived at the city of Yangping Pass, ready to crush everything.

And what about Jiang Che?

There were only 200,000 palace troops that were forcibly put together, and there were only more than ten grand masters around them. It can be said that the strength gap between the two sides was about three times.

With such an obvious gap, even a fool would know what to choose.

But the final outcome was that Li Chengguo died, the Baiyue coalition suffered heavy losses, and Jiang Che returned with a great victory.

If he had known that Jiang Che could win, wouldn't he have put the entire family on the line?
But the problem is that no one can predict the future.

The elders who were present at the time all felt that it was best for the Guo family to protect themselves. Now that Jiang Che had arrived with such ferocious power, it became the fault of him, the clan leader alone.

After taking a deep breath, Guo Zixing suddenly placed his palm on the table made of red sandalwood and said to the elders:

"That's enough. Jiang Che hasn't come yet. Why are you all so scared? After hundreds of years of practice, can't you be prepared for a few unexpected events?"

"Patriarch, this matter..."

Some people wanted to speak, but Guo Zixing raised his hand to stop them:
"Now that things have come to this, this is not the time to pass the buck. Whether it is war or peace, there must be a rule. Now I will not hide it from you. Ten years ago, the ancestor refined a life-extending spiritual object and has not yet passed away. He still has at least sixty years of life left.

With the Martial Saint in charge, what do you have to fear?"

"The clan leader wants to start a war?"

Hearing the news that the ancestor was still alive, everyone was overjoyed and immediately felt confident.

Guo Zixing shook his head:

"Starting a war is a bad idea. Although the Guo family has a martial saint, Jiang Che also has the confidence. Not to mention the Beiling Qi family, even the sword saint of the Sword Pavilion stands on his side. This man is even more of a martial saint.

If we can negotiate peace, even if it means paying a price, we, the Guo family, will have to accept it."

After these words were spoken, many elders finally reacted.

Yes.

So what if the Guo family has a Martial Saint in charge?

It is not certain that one can do anything to Jiang Che. After all, his background is not simple either. More importantly, Jiang Che has extraordinary talent and good luck. If a war breaks out, he can be stopped even now.

But what about ten years later?
What about a hundred years from now?

By that time, what can the Yingchuan Guo family use to stop it?
Now the best choice for the entire Yingchuan Guo family is to bow to Jiang Che and completely resolve the grudge.
