Yan Li stopped Li Zhengjun, who was red-faced and wanted to continue, and said to the three old men with a smile: "In this case, I will obey the order, but Li Xueyi is not easy to deal with, so let Brother Li assist me." ”

"No problem. The old man said.

Yan Li took Li Zhengjun to the city tower. Li Zhengjun followed silently all the way, but finally couldn't help but say: "As far as I know, Yan Shifang, whether facing the Demon Clan or the Nine Great Clans, has never compromised, the higher you climb, the more awe you will be?"

The ancient stone city, the buildings with heavy stone piles can be seen everywhere, walking on the road that the craftsmen have chiseled bit by bit, Yan Li feels the profundity of this city, no wonder it can be used as the first line to resist the invasion of the demons. "What is good for them is not necessarily harmful to me, as long as the spearhead is on the same page, so what's the harm in being more tolerant. ”

Li Zhengjun shook his head as if he didn't know Yan Li: "I can't believe that this will come out of your mouth." But seeing that Yan Li's smile seemed to have a deep meaning, he turned to say, "Li Banshan has reduced the garrison strength of Stone City to a minimum, if it is used properly, it will be no problem to resist the attack of the demon clan within three months, but if you want to take back the whole area of Chiyou, it is tantamount to a fool's dream." Originally, there was still a mirage Zhenjun for you, and you still had some hope, but his old man didn't know what he was bewitched, so he chose to retreat. ”

Yan Li said: "I'll tell you why." ”

"Why?" said Li Zhengjun.

Yan Li said with a smile: "Even if you are a senior, you also cherish your wings." If I really take back the whole area of Chiyou within three months, what will he get by fighting with the demons for six years?"

Li Zhengjun was suddenly full of displeasure, "You mean to say that Mirage Zhenjun is also a person who chases fame and fortune?"

Yan Li said: "I didn't say that. Any choice made by anyone, for what reason, can be speculated by others. I'm just trying to say that there is a trail for everything. ”

Li Zhengjun thought about it, and although he was reluctant, he still had to admit that the other party was right in the general direction, because there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. "What do you want to do next, do you really think that you and I can kill Li Xueyi?"

Yan Li said: "Now is not the time to fight with her. ”

Li Zhengjun said: "But didn't you respond?"

Yan Li said: "It's one thing for me to answer, and it's another thing to do it or not." ”

Li Zhengjun said: "If you don't kill Li Xueyi, in case Stone City is lost, how can you explain to Li Banshan?"

Yan Li said: "Why should I explain to him?"

Li Zhengjun said: "Because he is the leader of the righteous path!"

Yan Li said: "It doesn't matter who he is, it was me who made the bet, and I was the one who lost and died, and I didn't need to explain anything to anyone before the deadline came." ”

When the two of them came to the castle tower, the road was very wide enough for three carriages to run side by side. For a long period of time, the city walls have been strengthened several times, and the whole has become a fortress, and even the heaviest battering ram cannot be easily broken.

There was a combat team every ten paces on the tower, consisting of fifteen cultivators and thirty heavily armed native soldiers. Each cultivator is assisted by two soldiers, whether it is serving tea and water to the immortals, or fighting with the demons in close combat, these local soldiers have shown far more than ordinary martial arts and perseverance, and have established indelible feats for resisting the invasion of the demons.

As soon as Yan Li went up to the city tower, he attracted all the attention. They all knew that this was the new commander who threatened to take back the entire territory of Chiyou within three months. Because of the blessing of fame, they saw that Yan Li's body seemed to be shining with a dazzling glow. The significance of the Tianchen List lies in this, no matter how beautiful and charming the sunset is, it can't compare to the brilliance of the morning glow.

"See Commander-in-Chief. "A cultivator came up and bowed, it was a young elder of the Dao Court. said that he was young and in his early fifties, he had no disrespect for Yan Li, nor did he have great respect for him, and said routinely, "The demons in the city have all been killed, and the bitten people have been properly disposed of, and all the main roads have been blocked, just waiting for the demon army to attack." ”

"You're doing a good job. What's your name?" Yan Li nodded in satisfaction.

After all, the young elder still could not hide his contempt, and a mere disciple of the Sword Court dared to take the initiative to speak like this to him, a Dao Court elder. He still responded: "Yuan Qianquan." ”

"What position is this?" Yan said.

Yuan Qianquan was a little confused, "What position?"

Li Zhengjun reminded on the side: "Each Dao Commander has the title of Elder and is responsible for leading the disciples of his Dao Sect, and the commander has the right to order the elders of each Dao Commander. ”

Yan Li understood as soon as he heard it, the elder was equivalent to the commander, and the disciple was the soldier who was fighting, and the ranking between the soldiers and the soldiers was according to the order of entry, and also according to the strength of the strength, which generally included the class relationship of the army, and also retained the independence of the cultivator. The advantage is that it gives the cultivator a lot of room to exert himself, but the disadvantage is that there is no army to enforce the forbidden soul, which at a critical moment, may determine the direction of a war.

He doesn't have the will to correct or improve, it doesn't matter to him. "As commander-in-chief, I will give the first order, and that is to evacuate Stone Town. ”

As soon as the words fell, a large number of shouts and killings were heard from the Zhiling River in the distance, and the dense demon clan rushed ashore and rushed towards this fortress.

Just when everyone thought they had heard it wrong, Yan Li had already drifted away.

"Evacuate, evacuate, what are you kidding?" Yuan Qianquan screamed, "Stone City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a natural danger to enter the hinterland of Chiyou, just give it to the demons, I think you are an undercover agent sent by the demons!"

But Yan is already far away.

The people on the castle tower, whether they were cultivators or local soldiers, did not know whether to fight or not in the face of the surging enemy army.

Li Zhengjun looked at the demon clan below, and then at the garrison on the city tower, and suddenly said: "Li Banshan left you, presumably fully considering the combat power of Yan Shifang. He can block tens of millions of demons with one person and one sword, but he is not here, who of you can? If you don't want to die, retreat. After saying that, he drifted away.

Yuan Qianquan's face changed again and again, he gritted his teeth, and waved his big hand: "Retreat!" He secretly made up his mind that when he was resettled, he must take a good look at Yan Li.

When Li Zhengjun caught up with Yan Li, he was already dozens of miles away from the city, although he was able to calmly analyze the pros and cons on the city tower, but when he caught up with Yan Li, he couldn't hold back his temper, and loudly accused: "You may have some strategic goals, but there are so many Chiyou tribes in the city, and so much blood has been shed, you have no reverence for their efforts! Could it be that just because of the contempt of the three great elders, you have a revenge mentality? In vain, I still speak for you!" Yan Li said: "I respect them very much, so I don't want them to die in vain." ”

Li Zhengjun said: "Then you should stay and live and die with them!"

Yan Li said: "It's useless, Li Xueyi will definitely attack with all his strength here, and resist in vain, but it is just needless to increase casualties." ”

Li Zhengjun said: "How do you know if you don't try?"

Yan Li smiled, stopped on a tree trunk and turned his head to look at him, "Maybe I am a hope for you Chiyou clan to take back your homeland, so you will have such expectations for me." You're right, after all, it's not for you, I'm also responsible for my own life, so I hope you can trust me. ”

Li Zhengjun said: "Are you serious?"

Yan Li said: "It's up to you to find the answer yourself." Maybe my behavior is very similar to the demon undercover, you have to judge whether I am sincere or not, it depends on your eyes and experience to see people. ”

The next city is called Taizhang City.

In the council hall, the three gray-haired elders were furious, and the tables were smashed several times, but Yan Li was still indifferent, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

The one who guarded Taizhang City was an elder of the lotus seat, and she sat quietly, without accusing or embarrassing it.

"Yan Li, what do you mean, I asked you to kill Li Xueyi, but you ordered to abandon Stone City, you must have done it on purpose, are the demons addicted to undercover!" According to Li Banshan's instructions, the three of them Great Elders would take action when Stone City was in crisis, neither letting Stone City be captured, nor giving Yan Li enough troops to counterattack the Demon Clan. Unexpectedly, the wishful thinking "crackled", but the latter was not fooled at all. After he learned of the order to retreat, the city guards were already in chaos, and even if the Mirage True Monarch was present, he was powerless to return to the sky, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Yan Li took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "According to Elder Huang, I seem to have been an undercover agent of the Demon Clan?"

Huang Shouyi said in a brutal voice: "This matter still needs to be reconsidered? The master of the sect is to see that you have the heart to make meritorious contributions, so I will give you a chance, not only do you not grasp it, but also continue to serve the demon clan, it seems that there is no need to test, you have no repentance at all, it is better for me to be the master of the sect, and directly torture you!" He raised his palm, and a terrifying aura brewed in the palm of his hand.

Yan Li put down the teacup, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "Are you sure you want to do it with me?" I am the commander of the coalition forces, you are called the following offender, I can kill you without bearing any responsibility." ”

"Shaft!" Huang Shou scolded angrily, but was pulled by another old man, so he didn't do it on the spot.

Li Zhengjun couldn't help but feel funny, and at first he said something tolerant, but he had already had the idea of treating these gourmets, so he let them kick their noses in the face.

At this time, a Lotus disciple hurriedly walked in and said, "Commander, elder, spies have come to report that Li Xueyi has led an army that has reached fifty miles away!"

Huang Shouyi's eyes lit up, and he sneered: "Okay, good wow! Boy, if you lose Stone City, I'll see how you defend it!"

"No. Yan Li stood up with a smile and said to the Lotus Elder, "Tell me to go down and evacuate Taizhang." ”

Huang Shouyi's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
