Chapter 317 Are you worthy?! (asking for monthly ticket)
The Demon Cult leader's words with a smile seemed quite warm, but when he looked at Yaoguang, his eyes were complicated. Li Guanyi did not answer, but held the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his right hand and paced away:

"The leader of the Demon Cult."

The woman's expression paused, and she smiled bitterly: "The devil sect..."

"So, this is what people outside are saying about us."

She was silent for a moment, folded her hands in front of her, and said, "We also have our own difficulties. You know, the winner is the king... It's only because we are the losers that we are slandered and all kinds of things are framed on us."

"We just want to stand upright in this world."

"But those kings and generals cannot tolerate the people having their own beliefs... Qin Wuhou is known as a benevolent man in the world. I thought you would not be like those people before."

“I thought there was a possibility that we could cooperate.”

She paused, bowed slightly, and said, "But no matter what, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to see my daughter again in this life..."

The woman looked at the silver-haired girl over there, her eyes were complicated and sad, and she said softly: "Back then... there were many things that had to happen. Whether you forgive your mother or not, you are my flesh and blood."

The silver-haired girl had a calm look, with no expression on her face.

The woman continued, "Qin Wu Hou, I know your name and your abilities. According to your past style, you came here for the sake of the world's situation and to seize the Western Regions."

"Then the old wolf king must be your opponent."

"From this perspective, our interests are the same. Even if you have too many misunderstandings about us, I think we can cooperate in fighting the Wolf King. Many misunderstandings will naturally be resolved during this cooperation."

"What do you say?"

Li Guanyi paced back and said slowly, "The Demon Sect's foundation is indeed good, with hundreds of years of accumulation, gold, silver, treasures, weapons, armor, and connections, but how can you be sincere?"

The stunning woman said solemnly, "Blood is thicker than water."

"If you marry my daughter, you will be my son-in-law. Isn't that enough?"

"I can swear here that I will transfer my position as the leader of the Holy Church to my daughter..."

Li Guan paused, then looked at Yaoguang beside him, signaling the silver-haired girl to let go of his arm.

Yaoguang squeezed his arm, then let go.

Li Guanyi walked forward slowly, as if he was persuaded. He inserted the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd into the ground with his right hand and released the handle of the halberd with his palm. The silver-haired girl was behind him. She just watched Li Guanyi walk over and pursed her lips.

Li Guanyi said: "I just happen to be short of money and things."

The stunning woman watched this scene, her attention was on Li Guanyi's Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd. After seeing Li Guanyi let go, she relaxed her vigilance for a moment and smiled, "Good son-in-law..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light exploded.

Li Guanyi's left hand was already clasped behind his waist.

The sharpest Qiu Shui sword in the world has been drawn out.

Under the urging of Yu Jian Kuang's sword moves, a clear and cold light was torn out. The woman's body gathered and dispersed, and she finally avoided this domineering sword. However, Li Guanyi had already taken a half step forward. At the moment of stepping forward, he grasped the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his right hand and chopped it down.

Li Guanyi: "Use gold and silver to tempt me?"

"Fool!"

The poor prince who rose to prominence through war said:
"Kill the Demon Sect, and all your gold and silver will be mine as well."

The whistling of weapons shook the place like the roar of a tiger.

The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd drew a ferocious arc of light.

It was swung up and chopped down in the most domineering and violent way.

The person who attacked did so with the determination to kill, intending to split the man in half with the halberd.

The dark golden weapon vibrated violently.

A wave of Dharma image flashed by, and a long sword appeared in the hand of the stunning woman, which pushed away the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd. It was also a body manifested by divine power. Under the impact, the secret room made of steel shook violently, and hideous cracks appeared, and sand and gravel fell.

Li Guanyi held down the woman's sword with his Tiger Roaring Heaven Halberd and said:
"Besides -"

"You deserve to be called that?!"

The woman could still smile:

"It seems that Qin Wuhou doesn't like the daughter of our Holy Church leader?"

Li Guanyi said sternly: "Of course not. She and I share life and death. With such a relationship, how can you be so presumptuous?"

"It's you who is unworthy of calling her your daughter."

"You are not worthy of calling me son-in-law!"

The silver-haired girl was slightly startled.

The cold girl's mind froze for a moment.

My thoughts seemed to be stuck for a moment.

Li Guanyi had already made crazy moves. He threw the Autumn Water in his left hand to Yaoguang, and then grasped the scales of the red dragon with a sudden clench. The red dragon roared, and a golden-red light burst out violently, and finally converged and turned into a long sword.

The man who claimed to be a traveling merchant, holding the divine weapon, the Scarlet Sky Sword, in his left hand, and the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his right hand, aimed only at the leader of the Demon Cult, and unleashed his ultimate killing moves without mercy. He used the sword of the Sword Maniac and the halberd of General Xue in turn, either chopping or slashing, or stabbing forward, or slashing with the sword.

Li Guanyi put his martial arts skills into full play.

Only someone like him who is not inferior to the overlord of the same realm and has the immortal body can sustain such an outburst. He forcibly suppressed the leader of the Demon Cult and said:

"Hidden secret?"

"The reason?"

"So hypocritical and disgusting!"

The Demon Cult leader Xiao Yuxue's eyes flashed with pain. She was silent for a moment and said, "Only this matter is not false. If I had no other choice... Which woman would be willing to sacrifice her child?"

"fart!"

Li Guanyi had already chopped down with his halberd: "That's just a representation."

"In your eyes, power is far higher than Yaoguang."

"People have their own reasons. Li Guanyi is not a wise man who can see through people's hearts. He is also a wise man who can divide the difficulties of many people into upper, lower, left and right. Those who compete for the good and evil of people's hearts think they are above people's hearts. I don't have that ability."

"but--"

"You really sacrificed Yaoguang! You really sucked the blood of the people!"

"Things like this can't be changed! It's not bad to watch!"

Xiao Yuxue said: "We had no choice but to do this!"

Li Guanyi said: "Then I have no choice but to kill you!"

"Hardship is useful, how can there be revenge in the world; helplessness can be used, everything is forgiven, how can there be justice in the world?!"

"Why should I care about the troubles of a dirty person like you? I have no intention of caring about your struggles. Maybe my elder brother's heroic spirit still remembers the joy we had together. Senior Siming is old and kind, so he kept that trick for you more than ten years ago."

"But you first tried to kill my best friend, and then you oppressed and bullied the people."

"The bones are piled up in piles, too numerous to mention."

"Li Guanyi is not one of them. I have only one word for you!"

Li Guanyi's eyebrows flew up and he shouted:
"kill!!!"

The red dragon roared and circled, and its golden-red scales suddenly became very real. It turned into a coiled dragon with the beautiful woman circling in the middle. The white tiger pressed its claws on one side. The young man retreated in the air, holding the halberd in his right hand and forming a formation with one hand. All kinds of Dharma images had already appeared one by one.

The Four Symbols Soul Sealing Formation directly locked the woman.

The Fire Kirin shook its head, revealing its true form. It was right behind Li Guanyi. It raised its head and opened its mouth. A golden-red flame lit up. With a cool cry from the young man, it opened its mouth, and the grandmaster-level Kirin Fire turned into a pillar of fire, which rushed down fiercely.

boom! ! ! !

Several miles away from the formation, Changsun Wuchou and others were watching the small town. Li Guanyi had been there for a long time, but there was no response. Suddenly Lei Laomeng said, "Look!!!"

Everyone raised their heads and looked, only to see a sudden loud noise in the middle of the town, followed by a sudden explosion of golden-red flames, and then a red dragon wrapped in flames, circling and whistling, rising into the sky.

All the Batur people were stunned: "......!!!"

I... fuck???

This is how the traveling merchants in the Central Plains are, yes, yes, yes...

That’s right!

Batur only felt his forehead covered with cold sweat. He was in a trance for a moment. He just felt that such means seemed to be no different from Tianger in the legendary epic. Could it be that the epic legend was not a myth?

But were there really such heroes thousands of years ago?

Fan Qing said: "It's the Lord's trick!"

"It looks like the lord has already started the fight. Batur, you stay here. Changsun, Lao Lei, gather a thousand men and follow me to charge forward!"

Batur said: "You, don't you find it mysterious..."

Fan Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "You'll get used to it."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes had to maintain what Li Guanyi said, subconsciously shifting his gaze, not looking directly into Batur's eyes, and said: "You don't understand."

"Our traveling merchants in the Central Plains are like this."

Batur: “…………”

........................

boom! ! !
The sound of weapons clashing continued.

Use sword and halberd moves to block the opponent's movements, lock the opponent in an instant with the Four Symbols Soul Sealing Formation, and then use the master-level Fire Kirin to build up the Kirin Fire Spray. It is a simple, rough, but extremely efficient fighting style.

The red-gold Qilin Fire mixed with the flame of the Scarlet Sky Sword burned and melted the entire secret realm. Li Guan saw that the situation was not good, so he defended himself with the halberd in his hand, and with a wave of momentum, he swept the Qilin Fire, which then exploded with the power to destroy the mountain.

The entire steel secret room was torn apart from the inside by this terrifying force.

Li Guan raised his hand and embraced Yaoguang, and he and the silver-haired girl jumped out of this place. The secret realm exploded, and even the large courtyard above was torn apart. A red-gold fire dragon soared into the sky, and the entire not-so-prosperous village was alarmed and looked here subconsciously.

"Huh?? What happened?!"

"Yes, it's the master's place..."

"There's a dragon. Is it the gods showing up? That old man finally got his comeuppance for his evil deeds. Woo woo woo..."

Amidst all the chaotic sounds, Li Guanyi sent Yaoguang to the ground with a gentle force, and asked Qilin to protect Yaoguang, while he himself chopped fiercely with the halberd in his hand.

Xiao Yuxue saw the flames dissipating in front of her eyes, and Li Guanyi actually rushed directly through the flames to kill him. The internal energy and the Qilin Fire burning his body could not cause any harm to Li Guanyi himself, or in other words, the injury was healed the moment it occurred.

The young man holding the halberd with a calm brow broke through the flames, stood up bravely, and swung the weapon down with an imposing spirit.

The whistling of steel was shrill.

The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd had already chopped down, really going to kill the enemy. Xiao Yuxue laughed and said, "What a murderous aura, worthy of being the Qin Wuhou who broke the law and killed people. But with such murderous aura, do you really want to kill me, the mother, in front of my daughter?"

Li Guanyi said: "You don't understand her at all. When you opened your mouth, the last bit of her attachment to you had already dissipated due to disappointment."

"From the beginning to the end, you just treated her as a tool."

"More than a decade ago, it was for power."

"And now, it's to win me over."

"From the beginning to the end, your thoughts have not changed. I would like to say something to you. Be consistent and don't forget your original intention."

Li Guanyi held the halberd and stopped pacing. Xiao Yuxue pursed her lips. She was clearly used to the intrigues and deceptions in the martial arts world, the verbal battles between the nobles and the high-ranking officials of the Holy Church, but the two plain words of this young prince made her heart hurt. She smiled and said:

"But you told me so much, don't you have other intentions?"

Li Guanyi looked at the woman who had appeared using the secret magic of the Demon Sect and smiled:
"is it?"

Xiao Yuxue suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Li Guanyi raised the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his hand and pointed it suddenly at the ground. The silver-haired girl clasped her hands together, and strands of starlight scattered. Then, with the power of the two, streams of light appeared above the earth, gathered together and turned into a burst.

This is no longer Si Wei's Four Symbols Soul Sealing Formation.

More complex and more intensive.

Four great legends: The Whale Fisherman’s Formation.

This formation directly enveloped Xiao Yuxue. Li Guanyi spun the halberd in his hand, with the tip of the halberd lowered to the ground, and said mockingly:

"I'm waiting for the formation, what are you waiting for?"

Then he rushed forward with weapons in hand, laughing: "Big brother, if you don't take action, this guy will run away again!" The formation emitted bursts of light. Xiao Yuxue's face changed drastically. She no longer had the heart to test it and suddenly dispersed.

The formation was completed, and the light gathered and ripples appeared like water waves.

The formation suddenly spread, instantly surpassing the level that Li Guanfang had just temporarily set up, as if it had spread to the end of heaven and earth and connected with the sky.

A light golden thread suddenly flew out from the waves.

It fell directly on Xiao Yuxue.

Xiao Yuxue turned into an afterimage that gathered and changed several times, broke away from the formation, ran out of the town in one breath, and then ran towards an even more distant place. Her body movements were ethereal, gathering and dispersing, and in an instant, no one knew where she had gone.

Li Guanyi chased him far away before putting away his magic weapon and said:

"What kind of trick is this... He runs really fast."

"With the help of a great senior, this person can't escape."

The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in Li Guanyi's hand scattered.

I just came here to collect a land deed, but I ran into a branch of the Demon Sect.

Is it just bad luck, or is the power of the Demon Sect in the Western Regions so huge, like the roots of an old tree, intertwined and intertwined, that the Demon Sect's influence can be found in any larger gathering place or oasis.

At least making a slight attempt to disobey the established rules of the Western Regions would be a violation of the interests of the Demon Sect. Once the interests of the Demon Sect are violated, one will inevitably come into conflict with these people; one will come into contact with the middle-level leaders of the Demon Sect and the gathered luck of the Demon Sect.

Anyone who wants to do anything will inevitably clash with the Demon Sect.

Li Guanyi gazed into the distance with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Western Regions, Demon Sect...

"Leave this to the senior first, and contact him later."

"Yao..."

With a soft sound, Li Guanyi felt the silver-haired girl's head gently knocking against his back. Li Guanyi was slightly startled at first, but then his expression calmed down. Yaoguang's emotions had been deprived, but she could feel people's hearts.

She immediately sensed Xiao Yuxue's purpose.

The silver-haired girl put her arms around Li Guanyi's waist. The young man reached out and pressed the girl's palm, and replied like Yaoguang did to him: "Don't worry."

"I am here."

"Um……"

The silver-haired girl hugged Li Guanyi a little harder and said, "I know."

………………

Xiao Yuxue used her peerless magic to fly very far, out of the range of the formation, and was not restrained by the thread. Seeing that Li Guanyi did not chase her, she breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"Such a youngster is so fierce..."

"In the chaotic times of the Central Plains, the people who emerged from the competition are indeed so difficult to deal with."

Suddenly a calm voice came: "Or?"

Xiao Yuxue's expression paused slightly as she realized something was wrong. For some reason, the air around her became humid and much more moist. She looked up and saw the distant, cloudless, azure sky. Suddenly, ripples seemed to appear in the sky and a silk thread fell from the sky.

It floated like a cloud and landed on Xiao Yuxue.

Xiao Yuxue was stunned, then she sighed and stopped struggling. She just raised her head and said with a smile on her beautiful face, "To use such means, my husband is really heartless and unrighteous."

The sky was like water waves, with countless ripples.

In the clouds, there seemed to be a silver-haired man descending like a god. Xiao Yuxue was "fished up". Looking around, the world was like a jar. The silver-haired man held a fishing rod in one hand and held up the jar in the other, and he was fishing the soul from thousands of miles away.

Such means are worthy of being called divine and devilish, and are worthy of being a legend.

According to the legends in the martial arts world, the strongest individual is the Sword Maniac.

The ones who were most involved were Dao Zong and Zhen Kui.

If they are given time, they can do many mysterious and incredible things, just like the magic of immortality.

Xiao Yuxue closed her eyes and said nothing more.

The whale fisherman sneered, but did not say a word, and directly shattered the wisp of soul. The old Sima Ming who acted with the whale fisherman sighed, thinking that it was fate that played a trick on him. Now when the two met, neither of them spoke, but just killed.

One knows that begging for mercy is useless.

One is just decisive.

Just as I was lamenting the impermanence of life, I heard the silver-haired man gnashing his teeth and saying, "Son-in-law?"

"Who do you think you are to be recognized as a son-in-law?!"

Old Siming was shocked to see the silver-haired man's face flushed red, his eyes spitting fire:

"Old Sima Ming, tell that kid Li Guanyi that I won't wait any longer. This woman practices the magic sect's method, and her soul changes in a thousand ways. Although I killed one, her body is still there, and she already knows we are here."

"In that case, I will go to the Demon Sect's headquarters first and kill him swiftly."

………………

Thanks to Hou Zhongyu's version of the three-ingredient mixed medicinal powder, the one thousand defenders in the town were all drugged so that their muscles and bones were weak and they were exhausted. Fan Qing and his men took the city without a fight, tied up the defenders, and then took over the town. Everything went extremely smoothly.

After Batur and other troops entered the town, they settled in some remote areas.

So this "city" which seemed far less prosperous than a small town in the Central Plains finally gained some popularity. Fan Qing presided over the meeting and, in accordance with the rules of the Qilin Army, first gathered the people of the entire town, took out the title deed that the eldest lady had bought before, and declared the legitimacy of Li Guanyi's ownership of this place.

Immediately, the noble master was pulled up, and many foreign monks were also brought up.

When the common people saw these upper-class people who had been so arrogant before being tied up and kneeling there, with their muscles and bones limp and collapsed, they were speechless.

Following Li Guanyi's order, Fan Qing sent up the "merit money" in a box and publicly announced the deeds of these nobles and foreign monks. After a public trial, all these foreign monks and nobles were executed according to the law.

Then he started a three-day law enforcement program to solve many cases in the city-state.

The granaries were opened to provide relief to the people, and all the recorded [merit money] was returned in full. However, even so, most of the gold and silver was still retained and returned to the public treasury.

In this way, the people of this town all obeyed, and with the help of Pan Wanxiu and Gongsun Huaizhi, Batur's tribe was able to get down to business. All matters were carried out in an orderly and systematic manner. Batur looked at the brand new city-state and the place where Tianger promised to live, and fell into deep thought.

Finally he gave up thinking.

"That's what the traveling merchants in the Central Plains are like."

"I see."

"Too powerful, the Central Plains Merchants!"

At this moment, Li Guanyi looked at the statue, tapped his brow with his fingers, and pondered for a moment - this thing contained the luck of the people of this town for a hundred years. It was not much, but for Li Guanyi's current condition, it could be considered to solve his urgent problem.

But the prerequisite is to cast the Nine Cauldrons first.

Now that he had [territory], [people's hearts], and [charm], the three combined into one, he could choose a day to cast a cauldron and refine the luck of the Demon Sect. However, what Li Guanyi cared more about at the moment was what Xiao Yuxue said -

She left her own charm on the statues of the Demon Sect in different places.

In other words, the Demon Sect already knew that Li Guan and his troops occupied this place.

Li Guanyi told everyone in Tiance Mansion the news.

"According to previous inferences, if there are traces of the Demon Sect in each city-state in the Western Region, our position will be exposed and we will easily be attacked and targeted by the Demon Sect..."

Lei Laomeng and others thought silently, Li Guan said:
"So, if you want to solve this problem, there is only one way."

Li Guanyi looked at the geomancy map on the table.

There were words appearing on the back of the black tortoise statue next to it. In a distant land, the old Sima wrote the words on the back of the big black tortoise statue and presented them to Li Guanyi, giving a general description of the whale fisherman's actions.

Li Guanyi pressed his brows and thought seriously.

At this moment, it is known that the Demon Sect's power in the Western Region is huge and complex, and the Whale Fisherman is powerful enough to make the entire Demon Sect's large base uneasy, but -

Large settlements are located in city-states, surrounded by towns and villages.

Among them were nobles, foreign monks, and even low-level leaders who mixed among the common people, as well as many disciples of the Demon Sect.

Even for a martial arts legend like the Whale Fisherman, it is impossible to kill them all and uproot them completely. If the goal is to intimidate, it is difficult for the Whale Fisherman alone to intimidate such a large area immediately.

In this chaotic world, there is only one person who wants to achieve this.

An organized army.

The Demon Sect is no longer an ordinary martial arts sect. It is a country-like structure hidden in the martial arts world.

Li Guanyi pressed his brows, trying to guess how things would develop.

If the whale fisherman rushed forward in anger and destroyed a large base of the Demon Sect, it would inevitably cause great damage to the Demon Sect. The top masters would definitely be beaten to pieces by the angry legendary master, but the remaining members would escape from different corners.

The Demon Sect will lie dormant for a dozen years at most, and may even rise again.

Li Guan attacked the leader of the Demon Sect. Coupled with the many grudges they had before, they had long been at war to the death. Moreover, if they wanted to make the world peaceful, such an evil cult had to be eradicated.

Li Guanyi opened his eyes and said, "That's it."

"Strike first is the strongest."

"Fan Qing, Changsun, prepare your troops and defeat the Huyan army behind you. Take their luggage and armor, and wait for them to join our reinforcements before marching down—"

Li Guanyi's finger suddenly slid downwards from where he was.

"Destroy this demon sect!"

With just these four words, the wild spirit of the Jianghu disappeared, and the surging spirit of the princes and famous generals rose up. Everyone in the Tiance Mansion looked at each other, saluted, and responded in unison:
"promise!"

"Accept the military order from the Lord!"

Li Guanyi stared at the topographic map and stood up. It was a pity that although he knew a little bit about everything, he was still inferior to those talented military strategists in terms of the overall situation. At this time, a voice came from outside, saying:
"My Lord, there is news!"

"General Nangong has returned with Mr. Pojun's letter."

News about Po Jun?!

Li Guan was delighted and said, "You came at the right time!"

"Let her in quickly!"
