Li Yi was able to say such a thing because Li Yi had fought side by side with too many saint-level powerhouses for so many years.
Let's take that Li Yi's closest comrade-in-arms Hans as an example, Li Yi had already learned that this extremely powerful Hans was only a powerhouse with the peak strength of the saint-level after entering the Dead Mountain Range in his second year. But such a strong man, when fighting against the army of the undead, the combat effectiveness he showed was beyond Li Yi's reach.
According to Li Yi's observations, once he reached the realm of a sage, all the circumstances of a cultivator should have a complete change. In other words, once a cultivator stepped into the realm of the Sage, then his strength would increase by leaps and bounds, and he would take a big step forward in an instant.
When fighting against ordinary soldiers, or even killing ordinary cultivators, all they have to do is wave their hands.
This is not a joke, even if Li Yi is now the strength of the sevenfold peak, when he was sparring with Hans, Li Yi felt it, even if Li Yi had reached the peak of the first half of the Hades Sword Technique, but with the advantage of the sword technique and the sharpness of the holy sword Roland, Li Yi never had the slightest upper hand when fighting against Hans with his bare hands.
Of course, Hans couldn't hurt Li Yi.
But Li Yi knew that the two of them did not exert their greatest strength at all when they were fighting, Li Yi's strength could only be exerted when he was working hard, and Hans would naturally not be a killer when he was fighting with a junior like Li Yi.
But judging from the combat effectiveness shown by Hans during the competition, if Hans is willing to go out of the Mountains of the Dead to help the Sayh Empire fight, then even if the Tianlan Empire has a million troops, as long as the Say Empire has Hans and Hans joins the battle group, then within three months, this million army will be lost under the consumption of Hans.
Because of Li Yi's statement, Bettina will be even more worried now, in her opinion, even if the old king of the Tianlan Empire is not as strong as Hans that Li Yi said, at least it should be almost the same.
Therefore, because the Tianlan Empire has always had such an unknown powerhouse in charge, the Sayi Empire did not dare to fight the idea of the Tianlan Empire at all. However, if the Tianlan Empire recovers, it will definitely rely on the advantages of the saint-level powerhouses to overthrow the Sayi Empire.
And now in the Sayy Empire, the only person who can rely on him is Li Yi, a figure whose strength is already at the peak of the sevenfold fold.
Although Li Yi now admits that if he is allowed to face the old king, Li Yi has no good chance of winning. But at least if such a strong man can sit in charge, the Tianlan Empire will have to weigh the pros and cons before it wants to fight the idea of the Sayi Empire.
So when she heard that Li Yi was leaving, how could Bettina not be in a hurry.
The current Bettina is only at the middle level of the sixth tier, although Bettina is also a little confident that she can advance to the realm of the Sage in her lifetime, but she herself doesn't know how many years it will take for this day to come. If she hadn't cultivated to the saint-level powerhouse before, but the Tianlan Empire had eliminated the ills in the country, wouldn't the Sayi Empire be in danger.
Li Yi didn't expect that his desire to leave the Say Empire would cause Bettina to panic so much. Although Bettina said it is very reasonable, Li Yi is not such a selfless person after all.
Li Yi's cultivation of the Shura Dao, although his strength is already quite good now, and in fact, if it is placed on the Shengyuan Continent, it can be regarded as a top powerhouse. But if it is just to ensure the integrity of the Sayy Empire, Li Yi will have to settle down in the Sayy Empire, which is a very huge loss for Li Yi.
Killing God Wolf had already told Li Yi ten years ago that since Li Yi had entered the Shura Dao, it was impossible for him to choose a stable life. Stability is Li Yi's biggest enemy, and if Li Yi's strength becomes stagnant because of this, this is something that Li Yi can't accept at all.
So although Li Yi has a deep friendship with Bettina, at this time, Li Yi can't help it.
Glancing at Bettina with a sad face helplessly, Li Yi thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Okay, since you are worried that the Tianlan Empire will come over to trouble the Sayi Empire at any time, then I will completely help you eliminate this hidden danger before leaving." ”
Hearing Li Yi say this, Bettina also put away the sadness on her face, and then became energetic and asked, "You mean it really?" So how can you help us solve it? Let's go to the trouble of the old king of the Tianlan Empire now, but we can't find out his whereabouts at all now. Besides, even if you can find it, I don't want you to risk it now because of our business. Although your strength is already very strong, you still don't have much chance of winning against the kind of veteran powerhouse who has been promoted to the realm of the Sage for many years. It's better to bear with it, and when your strength breaks through again, maybe you can help us completely eliminate hidden dangers. ”
What Bettina said is very reasonable, but this truth does not work for Li Yi. Li Yi touched his nose with a wry smile, organized his language, and finally slowly told Bettina about the special features of his practice.
When Bettina heard about Li Yi's cultivation of the Shura Dao, and learned that if she wanted to cultivate the Shura Dao, she had to go through the test of life and death all year round, Bettina didn't know what to say for a while.
Because as a cultivator, Bettina also knew that for a cultivator, there was nothing more important than increasing one's strength. If Li Yi stays in the Say Empire now because of the hardships of the Say Empire, then it is equivalent to saying that it is Bettina and the others who have delayed Li Yi's future.
Recalling the legend that the god of killing Wolf was cultivating and setting off a bloody storm on the continent, Bettina also figured out that Li Yi really shouldn't stay in the Say Empire, in this way, it would only make Li Yi's strength stay in this realm forever. Even if you can get lucky, the future prospects are not optimistic.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Bettina also said dejectedly: "Okay, since that's the case, I'm not good at being strong, I hope you can step on the peak of martial arts as soon as possible, but I don't know if I can see you in my lifetime." ”
Hearing Bettina's dejected words, Li Yi said angrily: "Hmph, as a martial artist, if you don't even have the confidence to advance in your heart, then what else is there to cultivate, it is better to be your princess in the Sayi Empire with peace of mind and spend your old age in peace." ”
Hearing Li Yi's words, Bettina was stunned for a moment, and then figured out what Li Yi said, just to encourage herself, Bettina smiled and said: "Hehe, it's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that there are too many problems on the side of the Say Empire now, and if I don't completely solve my worries, I think sooner or later I will become unable to move forward because of this obsession." ”
"That's why I decided to help you one last time before I left." Looking at Bettina, Li Yi said with a smile.
"How can I help?" Hearing Li Yi repeatedly bring up this topic, Bettina asked excitedly.
"I'm going to go to the Tianlan Empire first, and take a walk around the palace, even if that old guy is going to go away, it's impossible not to leave any news of him to his descendants. I'm going to ask, and then I'm going after the old guy. With his hands behind his back, Li Yi said confidently to Bettina.
Tianlan Imperial Capital, a place that Li Yi was once extremely familiar with, has now become extremely strange to Li Yi.
Because of the failure to assassinate the old king of the Tianlan Empire, Li Yi was expelled. After that, although Li Yi also set foot in the Tianlan Empire, he never returned to the imperial capital.
So after 20 years, Li Yi is back here again, and he also has a feeling of being in a different world.
Of course, the reason for this feeling is also because Li Yi has always lived in the war-torn southern border of Saida.
After too long of fighting and fighting, Li Yi has always believed that the people of the entire mainland should be living in dire straits. And along the way, Li Yi has also seen this sign. Although the war has never fallen on the territory of the Tianlan Empire, along the way, Li Yi has also discovered that even the people living in the territory of the Tianlan Empire are living in a very unsatisfactory situation.
Although there is no war here, there are those vampires of the Tianlan Empire who are even more cruel than war. Because those corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Tianlan Empire attacked the people, but they were even more fierce than the enemy. In their opinion, as long as they can squeeze a little more oil and water out of the people, they will not let go of these bitter people.
Therefore, Li Yi never thought that the people living in the imperial capital could have a good life.
But when Li Yi really walked here, he was surprised to find that the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire was simply a paradise on earth compared to those places in the outside world.
There is no war here, and there are no low-level people who can force people to ruin their homes.
In the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire, there are only singing and dancing, and those big people who are drunk and dreaming all day long in the sound of glamour.
Li Yi really couldn't think of it, he couldn't imagine that even if the imperial capital of a country was too prosperous, there should not be two situations that were diametrically opposed to the outside world. Even before entering the imperial capital, Li Yi could not see such a scene in a city very close to the imperial capital.
If it weren't for the existence of the very eye-catching palace of the Tianlan Empire in the imperial capital, Li Yi would even wonder if he had accidentally traveled to another world of singing and dancing.
However, to be able to have such a situation, Li Yi didn't have too many thoughts in his heart. After all, Li Yi is not the kind of cynical literati, in Li Yi's opinion, even if these big people in the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire live drunkenly, dreaming and dying, they have nothing to do with him.
Li Yi came to the Tianlan Empire this time to meet an old man, an old man who could even be said to be a brother and sister to him back then. It's just that the identity of this old man has become very special, even with Li Yi's strength, it will take a lot of effort to meet him.
This person is the first person in the royal family of the Tianlan Empire that Li Yi knew when he first came to the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire, and now Emperor Kevin the Great has ascended the throne of the Tianlan Empire.
Li Yi knew that although Li Yi had a good relationship with Kevin in the past, twenty years have passed after all. Twenty years, such a long period of time, is enough to make a person change dramatically.
So Li Yi didn't believe that this time if he wanted to meet Emperor Kevin through a briefing, this kind of thing might happen.
Therefore, since he entered the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire, Li Yi did not have too much nostalgia in this city of singing and dancing, but moved directly closer to the palace. Just wait for it to get dark, and then Li Yi can use the cover of night to find a way to sneak into the Tianlan Empire's palace.
But in fact, Li Yi really thought too much this time, if this time Li Yi was open-minded and wanted to see Emperor Kevin outside the palace, even if Kevin's current identity is completely different, it is possible that he will deign to meet Li Yi.
Because others don't know, in fact, in the heart of Emperor Kevin, he has always been to Li Yi every year.
The reason for this thought is because Emperor Kevin the Great has had a lot of anxiety about the stability of his throne since he ascended the throne.
Kevin knew that the reason why his father passed the throne to him was because the Tianlan Empire needed an emperor like him who was on the bright side.
But in fact, the person who can influence the future direction of the Tianlan Empire is actually not Emperor Kevin, but Kevin's elder brother who has always been hidden in the depths of the palace and is ready to attack the realm of the Sage at any time. That person is actually the real king of the Tianlan Empire.
Kevin knew that his father was not missing at all, but had gone to a legendary place suitable for cultivators. Although his father said when he left, that place, with his father's current strength, there were great restrictions on wanting to enter and leave freely. But when it comes to the real major events of the Tianlan Empire, the old king may still appear at any time.
And Kevin also knew that his strength was actually not able to deter those old ministers in the empire at all. Not only because of his qualifications, but also because of his strength.
Because Kevin is not a martial artist, he doesn't know how to cultivate. But if an imperial monarch wants to gain a firm foothold in front of the emperor's civil and military generals, if he does not have the corresponding strong strength, he must have an absolutely strong figure to stand behind him to deter those who may have dissent at any time.
And the two people standing behind Kevin were none other than his father and his elder brother who only knew about cultivation.
These two people were supposed to be Kevin's closest relatives, and as a prince as a brother, Kevin shouldn't have any bad thoughts about those two people.
But in fact, Kevin never really looked up to his father.
The old king of the Tianlan Empire, as a powerful cultivator, in his eyes, only absolute strength is the greatest capital to control an empire.
That's why this old king will cultivate with all his heart, and turn the politics of the huge Tianlan Empire into a pot of porridge.
After Kevin the Great succeeded to the throne, he devoted all his attention to remedying internal affairs, but the effect was very subtle.
And Emperor Kevin knew that even under his rectification, the Tianlan Empire could restore the prosperity of the balance twenty years ago, and his father would not look down on him.
