Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 70 Reason
A few days later, in the Kingdom of Earth.

In the palace, inside the bedroom.

The two stood side by side, staring at the image emitted by a spirit crystal in front of them.

"Earth King!"

"King Kong War Ape!"

"Wind and Thunder Winged Tiger!"

The Yuanling image was of the great battle in Fenglei Mountains a few days ago.

Yin Nianyun's beautiful eyes flickered, her expression changing constantly. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, she felt a mixture of emotions: "He... has changed!"

He Yanfeng glanced at her, then nodded in agreement: "Yes, he has changed!"

"..."

Yin Nianyun was silent for a while and said no more.

He Yanfeng turned his gaze back to the image released by the Yuanling Crystal Stone. "I heard that he hid his identity, using the alias Li Qingshan, and went to the Fenglei Mountains to secretly manage the Shabo Valley. During this time, he used various forces to annex various factions. In just over twenty years, he established a great foundation for the kingly way."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yin Nianyun: "This is not like the old him!"

Yin Nianyun nodded and looked at the Yuanling image again: "Twenty years, considering his original condition, he has been able to develop to this extent and even trained three great kings. It seems that the rumors are true. He really has obtained the treasures of an emperor-level spirit master."

"The remains of an Emperor-level Spirit Control Master?"

He Yanfeng narrowed his eyes, staring at the three kings in the image, as well as the subsequent display of the Ten Thousand Spirit Armor: "Which Emperor-level Spirit Control Master, whether it is the secret spirit control method he uses, the spirit beast combat skills used by those spirit beasts, or this spirit control weapon, it is all unheard of.

It is impossible for an emperor-level spirit master to be unknown, unless he is an emperor-level spirit master in the deep sea outside the continent. But such existence is too rare and almost extinct. How could he obtain such a treasure?

All of this is abnormal, every aspect is abnormal!"

He Yanfeng narrowed his eyes, the light in them constantly changing: "Is he really the Taiyi we know?"

"..."

After hearing this, Yin Nianyun remained silent. After a long while, he raised his head and asked him tentatively: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to do anything."

He Yanfeng glanced at her and smiled gently. "He and I are not enemies. He may resent me, but I will not hate him for that, nor will I use the power of the kingdom to embarrass him."

Hearing his words, Yin Nianyun also smiled and gently leaned her head on his shoulder: "Thank you!"

"Do we still need to talk about this between us?"

He Yanfeng shook his head, put his arm around her waist, and turned to look at the last part of the Yuanling image: "I won't be his enemy, but I can't guarantee that others won't do the same. What he did back then... was really too radical.

It would be fine if he just disappeared like that, but now he has come back. Although his methods have changed a little, he is still himself. Judging from his performance in Shabo Valley, his essence has not changed.

Those major royal families and the enemies he made in the Holy City back then were unwilling to see him regain his strength.

His threat was far greater than before. Even after losing the Ancient Dragon King, he still defeated Dongfang Bai and the Earth Dragon Beast with one blow. Even the Earth Guardian could not withstand his attack.

In addition, the development of Shabo Valley also demonstrated his management ability. He is no longer the reckless and impulsive warrior of destiny. He knows how to endure, how to develop, and he also possesses a powerful and unknown power.

Those royal families and the enemies he created will not allow him to grow and become powerful."

He Yanfeng turned his gaze and looked at Yin Nianyun solemnly: "Perhaps you can write him a letter and ask him to leave the Fenglei Mountains. Those great kings and even the emperor will soon come to trouble him."

Yin Nianyun shook his head and smiled bitterly. He did not respond to the proposal, but changed the subject: "Yanfeng, if you were him, under the same conditions, would you choose to fight Dongfang Bai?"

"This……"

This made He Yanfeng fall into silence. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "No, I will temporarily give in, and even accept the canonization of the Wind and Thunder Kingdom, lie dormant under their hands, and even use their power to develop my own strength until I become an emperor-level spirit master.

Even if this battle is unavoidable, I won't make such a big show. I can completely hide my true identity and act as an ordinary king or a peerless genius. That way, even if I defeat Dongfang Bai, it will only attract the Dongfang family and won't provoke other enemies."

"Not bad!"

Yin Nianyun nodded, looking at the finished Yuanling video: "But he chose to do it so ostentatiously, revealing his identity in public and defeating Dongfang Bai step by step. Why is that?"

"This……"

He Yanfeng frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Because he is Li Taiyi."

"No!" Yin Nianyun shook his head and said solemnly, "If he was Li Taiyi, the Li Taiyi we know, he wouldn't have done this from the beginning, let alone arranged all this step by step and hand by hand."

"Arrange all this?"

He Yanfeng's eyes narrowed as he looked at her in surprise and doubt: "Did he arrange all this?"

"if not?"

Yin Nianyun smiled bitterly: "If he doesn't want to reveal his identity, then he has many ways, just like what you said, pretending to be obedient, joining the Wind and Thunder Kingdom, or changing his appearance and defeating Dongfang Bai as Li Qingshan, all of these can avoid being exposed.

But he did not do so. Instead, he openly revealed his identity and arranged this beast fight. He fought with Dongfang Bai again and again on the field. He first displayed the three king-type spirit beasts, and finally defeated Dongfang Bai and the Earth Dragon Beast head-on with that unknown power.

From this, it can be seen that his target is not Dongfang Bai, or rather, not only Dongfang Bai. Otherwise, with his strength, he could easily strike with lightning speed and kill Dongfang Bai in one blow. There would be no need for so many rounds of fighting.

Yin Nianyun took a deep breath and concluded, "This was all arranged by him. He wanted to demonstrate his strength through Dongfang Bai."

"This……"

He Yanfeng frowned: "Why would he do this?"

"deterrence!"

Yin Nianyun's words darkened. "He wants to use this strength and potential to intimidate those major royal families and the imperial-level spirit masters behind them, and buy time and space for the development of his Sand Valley."

"deterrence?"

He Yanfeng was puzzled. "Even if he defeated Dongfang Bai, he's only a Spirit-level Spirit Control Master now. Even if his combat power is comparable to that of a king, he can't defeat those major families, let alone the Emperor-level Spirit Control Masters behind them. How can he intimidate them?"

Yin Nianyun shook his head: "Why is a King-level Spirit Control Master called a King?"

"This……"

He Yanfeng frowned. "Because a monarch-level spirit master already has the power to establish a kingdom, even if it's the three kingdoms of Sky, Earth, and Water, they must be recognized. Because if a monarch gives up his status... you mean!?"

He woke up halfway through his words and looked at Yin Nianyun with horror.

"Not bad!"

Yin Nianyun nodded: "Through the battle with Dongfang Bai, he has demonstrated his strength and is fully capable of reaching the level of a fifth-level monarch. If those families still want revenge and want to destroy his Shahu Valley, they will have to endure the revenge of a fifth-level monarch who will tear them apart and fight to the death.

This is the first level of deterrence. There is a second level of deterrence, and that is his growth potential. He defeated Dongfang Bai and the Earth Dragon Beast head-on. In the future, he will definitely become an Emperor-level Spirit Control Master, and an Emperor-level Spirit Control Master who can defeat the Destiny Emperor. Without the guarantee of a one-shot kill, who would dare to fight such a person to the death?

"This……"

He Yanfeng's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying that those major royal families, and even the imperial-level spirit masters behind them, would be intimidated by him like this?"

"Just like that, maybe not!"

Yin Nianyun shook his head: "But he also did one thing."

"whats the matter?"

He Yanfeng asked nervously.

"Dongfang Bai!"

Yin Nianyun's eyes were dim. "Why didn't he kill Dongfang Bai? Was it really because he remembered their past relationship, or was he afraid of revenge from the Dongfang family?"

"..."

He Yanfeng fell silent.

Yin Nianyun took a deep breath and continued, "No, he didn't kill Dongfang Bai because he wanted to tell the world that he has changed. He is no longer so radical, no longer so reckless, no longer so stubborn. He has learned to consider the consequences and is willing to negotiate.

This will give those people an illusion that they can sit down and negotiate with him, or even shake hands and reconcile.

But will he really reconcile with those people?"

Yin Nianyun turned around, looked at the stunned He Yanfeng, and said in a tone he had never used before, "He's changed. He's become so strange and terrifying. Is he really still the Li Taiyi we knew?"

"..."

For a moment, there was dead silence in the bedroom.
