Need for Plundering Immortals

Chapter 275.
Now, it is time for the Jiangxia Empire to employ people.

For the thankless task of "begging for the Yanyang Banner", the empire used so many elite soldiers, wasting money and taking huge risks.

Why is this necessary?

Grand Master Ye really doesn't see the big picture.

In the hearts of all the mighty officials, they all thought so.

Moreover, what annoyed them the most was that they never knew this Grand Master Ye, Ye Xiqu.

Grand Master Ye appeared out of nowhere, and it was hard for all officials to accept it.If it weren't for His Majesty being a mediocre monarch, and if His Majesty's attitude was not very firm, all officials would have strongly protested long ago.

This Ye Xi was young last year, and he had no official career experience. How could he not cause dissatisfaction when he was conferred the title of Grand Master on the first day he entered the court?

Grand master, if you say it, you are not younger than the prime minister, and the real one is under one person and above ten thousand people.

"I think this Grand Master Ye may be a relative of the emperor, otherwise why would His Majesty use him so much?"

"It doesn't look like he was promoted from other places, I can't figure it out..."

"Hmph, he must be an incompetent person who eats vegetarian food."

"In my opinion, he might be the illegitimate son of His Majesty when he was in a civil affair. He can't be on the stage and can't be crowned king, so His Majesty will give him a grand master."

The ministers left the court, talking boldly.

One of the generals spoke the most directly, and even described Ye Taishi as the emperor's illegitimate son.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately stopped by other officials: "Shh, don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is wise. Fortunately, General Gong didn't say it in front of outsiders, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

The general surnamed Gong said disdainfully: "I'm a rough man who practiced martial arts, and I can't speak. Anyway, I just see this grand master Ye is upset, what kind of shit grand master, I don't know what method he used to sit on it."

"Maybe, he has some background in cultivating immortals? Hey, everyone, don't guess, in short, just follow His Majesty's imperial edict with peace of mind." Another person continued.

When this small group of people were discussing, Ye Donglai had already passed by.

Everyone quickly shut up.

It's just that they don't know that with Ye Donglai's current consciousness, even if he doesn't deliberately, he can sense the words of ordinary people.

Of course, even if he was criticized, Ye Donglai didn't take it to heart.

He himself could understand the thoughts of civil and military officials, and it was really not justifiable for an unqualified grand master to appear in the court.

Anyway, it is impossible for Ye Donglai to be a grand master here, he just needs an identity.After returning from the Chiyan Empire this time, these officials couldn't see him even if they wanted to.

Outside the gate of the capital city, an elite team of 500 people is neatly arranged and is about to set off.

In the middle of the team, Ye Donglai sat in a luxurious carriage, and was closely escorted from front to back, left and right, with a lot of style.

There are also several military generals and civil officials in the queue as companions.

This operation, on the surface, is "asking for the Yanyang Banner", and it is not for marching and fighting, so it is impossible for the Jiangxia Empire to send too many people.

This elite team is enough.

Among the team, there are also some immortal cultivators arranged by Wei Ke, of course, most of them are below Foundation Establishment.

After all, there are not many immortal cultivators willing to sacrifice their lives in the secular kingdom. The main source of the kingdom's combat power is the large number of ordinary people...

"Grand Master Ye." Wei Ke personally saw him off outside the city gate, "Going to the Scarlet Flame Empire, we should be more careful."

Ye Donglai leaned out the window of the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, please go back. I will definitely live up to my high expectations and take back the Yanyang Banner."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is not going to war. When we arrive at the Chiyan Empire, we just take a look at the Yanyang Banner, and we will come back. There will be no danger. At most, we will just have a few feasts." In the queue, A general in armor interjected, a little weird.

Ye Donglai glanced at this person, and found that it was General Gong who was outspoken when the court was over.

Obviously, General Gong disdained the words of the emperor and Ye Taishi very much.

The implication of his words is that he regards this operation as a "play" - go there and come back in a few days. It is impossible to win the magic weapon, and there is no possibility of danger.This has always been the case before, and it must be no exception when you come to Grand Master Ye. Maybe Grand Master Ye is not as good as his predecessors.

Emperor Wei Ke secretly shook his head and said nothing.

Only he knows that Ye Shangxian is determined to seize the magic weapon, and he may use all kinds of extraordinary means. How can the danger be underestimated at that time?
But these secrets, he did not dare to reveal the slightest bit.

Everyone in the team thought that Grand Master Ye was really just playing around...

"Let's go!" Ye Donglai gave an order, and the team got on their horses and gradually moved away from the capital.

Emperor Wei Ke looked at the receding queue, feeling a little uneasy, and murmured: "Ye Shangxian, can you succeed? Regardless of failure or success, the relationship between the Jiangxia Empire and the Chiyan Empire will probably become more tense." Ah. Forget it, if you really encounter troubles related to the survival of the Jiangxia Empire, Lou Shangxian will definitely come forward, I, the little emperor, just need to hold on to the organization behind that lord."

…………

The Jiangxia Empire borders the Chiyan Empire, but the capitals of the two empires are still far apart.

Since Ye Donglai was going to ask for the magic weapon as "Grand Master Ye", he naturally couldn't rush on alone like an immortal cultivator.

It will take three days just to travel.

This is thanks to the small number of people in the team, and everyone's mounts are good horses.

The next day, the team had already left the territory of the Jiangxia Empire.

At the border between the two countries, there are still many traces of war, and there are few human beings.

Even though everything is quiet, Ye Donglai seems to be able to see that there have been many wars here, and there are countless dead bones buried in the ground.

"By the way, my Yousheng ghost technique requires the power of ghosts. The area with a radius of hundreds of miles is a place where there are many wars, and there are countless victims. .”

With a thought in Ye Donglai's mind, he began to practice the Yousheng ghost technique in the carriage.

Anyway, it's still early, and he can't fly to the Scarlet Flame Empire himself, so it's better to improve his strength.

To his surprise, the place where he was at this time was probably the place where wars were most frequent, and the power of ghosts was very strong.

In just a few moments, Ye Donglai condensed one after another ghost images in the carriage. Of course, these ghost images have not been injected into his true essence, they are just pure shadows, and have no lethality.

But even so, this is not a small improvement.

Compared to when he faced Chen Bugui that day, Ye Donglai found that his control over the power of ghosts had improved a level.

Especially when he looked at the endless mountains and rivers and experienced the desolation of the battlefield, he found that his understanding of the power of ghosts seemed to have improved to a higher level.
