Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Zhao Lingxue nodded happily and obediently.

As long as Su Li is by my side, I don't care about anything else.

Holding the tiger tally given to him by Xia Liuliu, Su Li quickly took over Valley God City and cleaned up all the corpses on the city walls.

As for those demon cultivators, they usually revert to their original forms after death, and since those demon cultivators also contain a lot of spiritual power, they are all food.

One's own people can only be buried on the battlefield and preserved by magic.

But no one knows whether, in the end, the bodies of these fallen soldiers will be able to be returned to their hometowns.

The various mechanisms of the city wall are also being replenished with spirit stones, and the Mohist cultivators are working tirelessly to repair them.

The array cultivators were doing their best to repair the protective array of Valley God City.

In reality, the protective formation of Valley God City was already in a dilapidated state. Even though the formation cultivators were doing their best to repair it, this formation could only withstand the next attack at most.

Without the magic array, defending this city will become much more difficult.

This is a very bad thing!

Finally, the number of people lost in this great battle was tallied.

On Wan Jianjun's side, some sword cultivators were injured, but no one was killed.

However, many of the original defenders of Ceres Castle were killed.

Now, only 50,000 soldiers remain in the city of Ceres.

Moreover, there is no battlefield without sacrifice.

Wan Jianjun will also suffer losses sooner or later.

On the battlefield, life is the most precious thing, but it is also the least valuable.

In short, Ceres Castle cannot be lost! The current situation is extremely dire!

"traitor?"

After Gu Shencheng cleaned up the battlefield, Zhao Lingxue told Su Li everything.

"Yes, he was a traitor, back then..."

Zhao Lingxue nodded and spoke slowly. The more she spoke, the redder her eyes became, and her tone was full of self-blame.

"Our defense of the city wouldn't have been so difficult, and we wouldn't have lost so many people! It's all because of those traitors! Someone betrayed us!"

"And right now I still haven't been able to find them."

As she finished speaking, Zhao Lingxue lowered her head and gripped her skirt tightly with her small hands.

Seeing Zhao Lingxue's self-reproach and heartbreak, Su Li's heart stirred slightly.

Su Li knew that Ling Xue was a very kind girl.

During this war, Lingxue watched as the people around her died one by one, and the helplessness and sadness in her heart weighed heavily on her.

Not to mention the many people who died after that ambush.

Who could feel good watching their comrades die before their eyes?

"I see......"

Su Li stepped forward and gently buried Zhao Lingxue's head in his chest, stroking her soft, long hair with his large hand.

"Lingxue, it's not your fault. You've already done your best. You've done a very, very good job."

"But Su Li..."

With her head buried in Su Li's arms, Zhao Lingxue's voice was choked with sobs.

"If I were a little smarter, would I be able to spot their ambush?"

If I were a little stronger, could I save even more people?

Su Li...

I......

I'm so useless...

"But Lingxue, if it weren't for you, even more people would have died."

Su Li reached out and gently wiped Zhao Lingxue's eyes.

"War is inevitable; people will die. There will even come a day when I will die too..."

Their sacrifices were not in vain!

Their sacrifices will be remembered by future generations!

And those traitors will all die! And I will etch their names into history, so that future generations will despise them for ten thousand years!

Lingxue, if one day I also leave, I will be very happy if you can cry for me.

But I'd much rather see Lingxue move forward well! Live a good life, carrying my share of joy, and see the world I've yet to see.

"Su Li...I don't want to!"

Zhao Lingxue lifted her head from Su Li's embrace and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"If I die, I want you to live well!"

"But if you die, I will go with you! I don't want to be separated from you again!"

Chapter 782 You Will Die (4000 words)

Xuanxiao was furious in the army camp.

The atmosphere in the military camp was very somber.

According to the normal plan, Xuanxiao felt that he should already be on the city wall of Gushen City!

Now, it's all because of those ten thousand sword cultivators! That led to our defeat in battle!

Back at the camp, Xuanxiao's intelligence department already knew who the man was.

The leading sword cultivator was Su Li, the runaway prince consort of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom!

A swordsman who once cleaved Yuanxia City in two with a single sword strike!

That guy made the entire Demon Kingdom grit its teeth!

He was the man who held off the Second Prince Bai Yu's army for two days and two nights at Han Gu Pass!

Xuanxiao had heard rumors about Su Li, but he felt that the rumors about Su Li were far too exaggerated.

But now, Xuanxiao knows he was wrong.

Su Li's strength is ridiculously exaggerated!

His strength was exaggerated, but I was already somewhat prepared for it.

But what surprised Xuanluo the most was the army of ten thousand sword cultivators that Su Li brought.

That army was too strong!

I have to think of a way.

This does not mean that Xuanxiao cannot defeat this army.

Even if the opponent is so special and powerful, they are only ten thousand sword cultivators.

Moreover, it is clear that those ten thousand sword cultivators lack combat experience and are relatively unfamiliar and inexperienced on the battlefield.

Although Su Li caught him off guard with 10,000 sword cultivators.

However, the advantage still lies with us. We still have a traitor within Ceres City, and Ceres City will ultimately fall into our hands again! This is an unchangeable fact! It's just a matter of time!

Xuanxiao was only thinking about how to kill Su Li and wipe out the army of ten thousand sword cultivators!

Otherwise, once this army grows up, the consequences will be unimaginable!

That will definitely cause a great deal of trouble for the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!

"Gentlemen, is there any way to deal with Su Li and the ten thousand sword cultivators he is leading?"

The clamor swept across the entire venue.

As soon as the boastful words were spoken, everyone lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.

Killing Su Li is definitely not a simple task.

To annihilate the Wan Jian Army, whose combat capabilities are extremely formidable, is even more troublesome.

"General, I have a plan!"

Just as the clamoring staff fell silent, a commander of ten thousand stood up and spoke.

......

After gaining full knowledge of the situation and taking complete control of Valley God City, Su Li gave a speech to the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Army.

In this speech, Su Li stated that he was no longer their master, that they had all graduated, and that from this day forward, the Ten Thousand Swords Army would be a true army.

And I am their superior.

In the army, there is no longer any master-disciple relationship.

In fact, in Su Li's view, although he taught these sword cultivators to practice swordsmanship, Su Li never considered himself their master.

I'm just an instructor at best.

At the time, they called him "Master," and he didn't object. Over time, it seemed as if they were his disciples.

In fact, none of them had ever performed the apprenticeship ceremony for themselves.

In ancient times, the apprenticeship ceremony was very strict. Without going through the apprenticeship ceremony, one was basically not considered to have a master-disciple relationship.

Wan Jianjun was quite surprised that he suddenly lost his master during Su Li's speech.

However, this was within everyone's expectations.

Because in the army of Qi, there can be no master-disciple relationship, only superior-subordinate relationship, otherwise it would be difficult to manage.

Regardless of the circumstances, these sword cultivators will always remember Su Li's kindness in teaching them!

I will never forget it.

However, after Su Li completely severed their master-disciple relationship, many female sword cultivators in the Ten Thousand Swords Army were very happy.

Since we were master and disciple before, we certainly couldn't betray our master and ancestors.

But now that we're no longer master and apprentice, does that mean it's alright?

Who says subordinates can't kiss their superiors?

While many female sword cultivators were lost in their own thoughts, Su Li continued, "..."

"Because from this day forward, you will be entering the battlefield."

Xia Liuliu, who is also the Empress of your Qi Kingdom, originally trained you to be weapons.

But I don't think so.

Therefore, I will give you the opportunity to choose.

You can choose to leave, leave the Ten Thousand Swords Army, leave the army. As for where you go afterward, I won't care, as long as you don't submit to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

You can stay too!

Once you stay, you will be soldiers!

You will fight for the sake of all laws and the world, for the sake of Qianling Continent!

Your war merits can be exchanged for countless resources.

But what I want to tell you is this!

You will die!

This is a cruel thing, and also a very real thing.

You might die, and I might die!

We could all die in some great battle.
