Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1209 Dream · Sword Buyi

The strange veins are filled with animal bones and broken steles, telling the glory of the Li clan in the past, which surpassed the three clans of the Mirage Sea and the Underworld.

Now, only ghost sounds and strange smoke remain, indicating the endless desolation.

Tianli transformed into half of Wang Ji and came here with the injured Lei and Shui Shuangli and Jian Buyi.

As half of the throne entered the beast vein, four beast pillars broke out of the ground, and the abandoned palace appeared.

The Li clan had been suppressed by the Ziyao Dynasty for a long time. Now that they see Tianli reappear, they are excited beyond words, but they are also a little confused.

Banjie Wangji naturally saw the confusion of the two Lis, and said: "I know you must be confused, why did I appear before Tianzhi Li fully recovered. Before Tianzhi Li fully recovers, I will lead the Li tribe as Banjie Wangji. Leizhi Li, I want to know what happened to the Li tribe during my sleep? Why did my compatriots suffer such heavy casualties?"

"Yes." The evil master who kills disasters truthfully explained the reasons for the deaths of the four evil spirits: Chiyue, Tanhui, Xiaoyao and Yanming.

“Purple Glory Heavenly Dynasty, the hometown of Heavenly Buddha, humph!” With a cold snort, Banjie Wangji was furious and slammed his palm hard on the stone seat below him. The huge force spread and the hall shook continuously. “I, Banjie Wangji, will make those who have stained their hands with the sins of my compatriots pay the price!”

Because of his anger, the hidden injuries in his body were triggered, and Wang Ji felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The evil master Ke Zai and Bing Wuyi stepped forward and said with concern: "Tian Zhili!"

"I'm fine. I just escaped the seal, and my true energy is a bit delayed." With the help of the underground beast veins, Wang Ji healed the darkness in his body and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The evil master Ke Zai said indignantly: "If the Seventh Palace of Huangji had not been destroyed, how could Ji Xiashang and the other three have hurt Tian Zhili?"

The half-broken Wang Ji, whose breath was steady, was filled with hatred. "My Li Clan will slowly seek retaliation from Ziyao Heavenly Dynasty and Tianfo Yuanxiang. First, we will unite the power of the Li Clan and then make plans."

Even though Banjie Wangji came forward to take charge of the situation, seeing that only himself and Kezai Niezhu were left in the Li Clan, Bing Wuyi couldn't help but say with some frustration: "The Qixing Palace is destroyed now, and Di Zhili is missing, which is related to the dead Chiyue. His whereabouts are also unknown now."

Jie Chen, the Li of Earth, is extremely arrogant, competitive, and likes to challenge the strong. Her unyielding character and extraordinary strength make her second only to the Li of Heaven.

In the past, the Heavenly Evil and the Earthly Evil fought each other for more than 300 moves but there was no clear winner.

In the end, Tian Zhili convinced Di Zhili with his broad-mindedness and promised that within the Li clan, heaven and earth would coexist.

After Tian Zhi Li was sealed at Wujintian Peak, Di Zhi Li, who had the highest status in the Li clan, came into conflict with Chi Yue and Tan Hui due to their differences over the future direction.

The dispute ended when Di Zhili disappeared.

This is also the reason why Bing Wuyi has always been dissatisfied with Shan Zhili's faction.

This was also the reason why I cast a dissenting vote when attending the Bali Conference in the past.

Because as far as he is concerned, the priority to be discussed should be the power of the earth.

However, all this ended when the Zi Yao Dynasty targeted the Li clan, and the two Li clan members Chi Yue and Tan Hui died one after another.

Under the tremendous pressure from the Heavenly Dynasty, the Li clan tended to be united, and Bing Wuyi had no time to care about the Li of the Earth.

Seeing Bing Wuyi's gloom, Banjie Wangji told her about Di Zhili, "Regarding Di Zhili, during the long years of sleep sealed in Wujin Tianfeng, I vaguely felt the breath of Jie Chen several times. And Di Zhili's Li Yuan has not returned to my body, which means she is indeed still alive."

Bing Wuyi regained her confidence when she heard that Di Zhili had gone to Luoyang. "In that case, we should hurry up and find Jiechen."

"We will discuss the matter of the Earth's Li later." Banjie Wangji's eagle eyes were fixed on Jian Buyi, who had been standing behind Ke Zai Niezhu and Bing Wuyi from the beginning and had not spoken a word until now. "After hearing so many secrets of our clan, Swordsman, is it time for you to be honest about your identity?"

The Li clan is xenophobic, and to protect his friend from harm, Bing Wuyi guaranteed to Banjie Wangji: "Tian Zhili, Jian Buyi is my best friend, and this time he is helping me. Shui Zhili can guarantee with his life that he will never do anything to harm the Li clan."

Jian Buyi comforted him, "Bing Wuyi, don't worry about me. Tian Zhili does want to ask me."

"That's right." Banjie Wangji said to Lei and Shui Shuangli, "Lei Zhili, Shui Zhili, you two are seriously injured. Go down first and use the beast veins here to recuperate. I have something to ask Jian Buyi."

The evil master Ke Zai said, "Bing Wuyi, don't worry. Tian Zhili is just asking Jian Buyi some questions, and he won't do anything bad to him."

Jian Buyi also spoke up: "Bing Wuyi, you are seriously injured, you should go down and recuperate first."

"Okay." Bing Wuyi saw that Tian Zhili had already promised, so she said nothing more and went down with the evil master Ke Zai to use the beast veins to heal her wounds.

Jian Buyi stepped forward and formally introduced himself: "Meng Shuo Jian Buyi, formally meeting Tian Zhili."

Facing the deep and domineering Banji Wangji alone, he remained calm and composed.

In order to confirm Jian Buyi's position, Banjie Wangji asked: "Dreams talk about the future. Excellent swordsman, should I help the Li clan?"

Jian Buyi hinted, "Dream says Jian Buyi helped the Li clan for the truth I have been pursuing all my life, a future that has been predetermined."

Banjie Wangji then asked: "Who can control the future?" "My sword represents the firm belief of this journey." After stating his own ideas, Jian Buyi asked back: "Banjie Wangji, Ziyao Tianchao is overwhelming the Central Plains, Tianfo Yuanxiang is hiding, these are the powerful enemies you will face in the future. Are you still confident in your future?"

Banjie Wangji pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This beautiful land has only one person who can rule it from ancient times to the present."

"Who is that?"

"King." The word "king" was used with half of his white hair flying and a slight smile on his face, revealing an aura that could swallow mountains and seas.

"But will you be the king who unifies the world?"

"Not who I am now."

"Who is that?"

After this conversation, Banjie Wangji already had the answer in his heart, "You claim to be able to see the future, so you should have the answer in your heart."

Jian Buyi asked, "Do you believe me?"

"I only believe in my own convictions." In just a few words, Wang Ji was already full of hope for the future. "The Heaven of Heaven is the will of heaven. And the people who look up to the will of heaven are the entire martial arts world."

Hearing this, Jian Buyi said, "Perhaps I should take this opportunity to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven."

Banjie Wangji didn't appreciate Jian Buyi's words at all, "According to Heaven's will, I'm afraid you can't do it. Jian Buyi, instead of taking action, it's better to leave a useful body behind."

Jian Buyi also expressed his evaluation of Tian Zhili, "You are still so confident even though you are at a disadvantage. Tian Zhili, you are indeed a powerful person in the world."

Upon hearing this, Banjie Wangji laughed and said, "Ha~ In that case, let's seize the time and start a topic that will determine the future of the world."

Jian Buyi waved his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, making his attitude clear, "Jian Buyi is here to accompany you."

The two of them talked in the hall from late at night until dawn, and then Jian Buyi left.

After Ke Zai Niezhu and Bing Wuyi had used the beast veins to heal their wounds, they came to the main hall to explain to Ban Jie Wang Ji.

"Jian Buyi has left. Next, it will be the strategy of the Wuli tribe to unify the world."

No need for extra words, Banjie Wangji goes straight to the point.

The evil master of disaster prevention suggested: "The Li tribe has gone through several battles, and its fighting power has declined. We cannot fight them head-on. The main focus now is to seal the feet of the Heavenly Li in the Bardo. As for fighting power, since the Earthly Li is not dead, the Waterly Li can go to find him. Heavenly Li, I am willing to go to the Bardo myself."

Banjie Wangji asked: "What's the reason?"

"During the Saint Demon War, the Ziyao Heavenly Dynasty still had enough strength to target the Li Clan and almost forced our clan into danger, which shows how powerful it is. We cannot compete with them with our strength alone. What our clan needs to do next is to unite with other forces. The former Demon Emperor was able to enter the realm of suffering, which shows that the Lord of the Bardo World, King Zhou, is not a person who stays at ease. He can be brought in as external aid."

The Bardo realm mentioned by the Lord of Disasters is rumored to be a relay station between life and death. It is also a space where the living and the living souls coexist. It is a mysterious place of its own.

The power structure within the realm is similar to that of an ordinary kingdom, and is centrally governed by the royal city where the "King of the Universe" resides. The king controls the yang, the queen controls the yin, and the laws are strict.

The people's speech was suppressed, with ten people in one household, ten households in one hut, and ten huts as one group. The heads of the households, huts, and huts were responsible for controlling and restraining the people at all levels.

The most special among the subjects are the "spirit controllers", who have the ability to extract human spirits and are proficient in various methods of using spirits. They are divided into five prominent clans: the "Reiju Dan clan", the "Ghost Master Ji clan", the "Bibei Zeng clan", the "Naraku Mian clan" and the "Yipo Ma clan".

There was originally a red tide disaster in the bardo realm. Later, due to the dispute between Buddha and Li, the Buddha of heaven built the wall of repentance to lead the red tide into the realm of suffering, allowing the bardo realm to breathe for half a day.

The "Great Wall of Despair" located at the border is where criminals are exiled. It also seals half of Tian Zhili's body and feet, and is guarded by Zhou Wang's brother - Gu Cheng Buwei.

Gu Cheng Buwei is calm and dignified, and his scheming is no less than his brother's, but he is more kind. Because he fell in love with the youngest daughter of the current head of the Pibing Zeng family, one of the five prominent clans in the bardo, like the King of Zhou, he was deliberately married to Ma Jing by the King of Zhou, and was sent to the desperate Great City to guard the border and watch over Duan Junheng.

Ma Jinghou committed suicide after learning about the affair between Gucheng Buwei and Zeng Mingxia, which made the city lord feel extremely guilty and also caused the Zeng and Ma families, two of the five prominent clans, to become enemies.

But the person that Zeng Mingxia actually loves is Yue Zangfeng, one of the three great swordsmen in the bardo world.

Yue Zangfeng is a handsome and trustworthy scholar and swordsman. He is highly regarded by the King of the Universe for his outstanding literary talent and is ranked as the Marquis of Imperial Pen in front of the palace in the Underworld.

However, due to his love for Zhen Mingxia, he angered the King of Zhou and was exiled to Zangtou Tomb where he imprisoned himself.

The instigator of this tragedy, the King of the Universe in the Bardo, is a man with great ambitions. He controls the entire Bardo with a strange and unpredictable mind, and has been eyeing the Central Plains and waiting for the opportunity, just as the Lord of Disasters said.

After weighing the situation, Banjie Wangji said, "Lei Zhili's suggestion is feasible. Let's act according to this plan first."
