Chapter 58: After the War
Three days later, the fleet crossed Suiyang Lake and arrived at Jingchun, where it was necessary to pass through Guangyang in the south.
In the battle three days ago, Yuan Hou, who led the sailors to the battlefield, became the biggest winner, and many water thieves who infested the area around Suiyang Lake were wiped out in one fell swoop. After the battle, a total of 817 bandits were killed and 552 prisoners were captured.
As for the casualties on the side of the sailors, the total number of casualties was less than fifty.
In the context of the absence of war in the border in recent years, such a glorious record is enough to add a lot of resume to the Marquis of Yuan, although it has no impact on the title of Marquis Yuan, but it can also make those civilian officials who doubt his ability to govern the army shut up, and even go to the next level in the army.
During these three days, Su Yi stayed in the cabin to recuperate from his injuries.
In the decisive battle with Zuo Qingzong that day, Su Yi relied on his own defensive power to fight hard with the other party, and beat this demon giant who stood at the peak of this world to death, but with the combination of his cultivation and body armor, it was still impossible to completely block Zuo Qingzong's terrifying fist, and it was inevitable that he would inevitably hurt his internal organs in the end.
After that battle, Su Yi returned to the ship and kept vomiting blood, which really scared Chi Pengjin and the others, but his family knew about his own family, although vomiting blood was scary, but his injuries were not as serious as they looked, of course, it would take at least a few months to recover.
Regardless of the extent of his injuries, in the last battle on Suiyang Lake, not to mention the fact that he overturned the enemy's ships like a miracle, the fact that Su Yi swept away the middle and high-level combat power of the White Day Palace with his own strength made him establish an invincible image in the world from first-class masters like Guan Shan to ordinary soldiers.
If it weren't for his injury, the soldiers who respected him like a heavenly man would have worshipped him as a god long ago.
Su Yi walked out of the cabin, and the soldiers who met him along the way saluted, and his sincere and terrified attitude was probably nothing more than this when he met the emperor.
He walked up to the lookout and breathed in the fresh air, which was exceptionally fresh after the rain.
The fleet docked at Jingchun, and after abandoning some necessary supplies, it set sail again. Calculating the distance, this place is not too far from Guangyang.
With nothing to do, Su Yi remembered the smell of incense who was still imprisoned.
In the cabin where Wen Xiang was imprisoned, Su Yi saw the inheritor of the Yuan Demon Sect again after three days.
Wen Xiang's expression was very complicated when she saw him. Although the person in front of him was the culprit who almost destroyed the Yuan Demon Sect, after witnessing the battle in the lake with his own eyes, Wen Xiang felt that he couldn't hate it anymore.
Anyone who has seen Su Yi's shocking martial arts and methods will probably have this sense of powerlessness that they can't be an enemy of.
After the two sides stared at each other for a while, Su Yi saw that she never meant to speak, and sighed and said.
"I said Miss Wen, now that the people of your Yuan Demon Sect are almost dead, the remaining little fish and shrimp probably don't dare to show their heads again, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rebuild the sect with your current martial arts. You might as well tell us what you have planned. For the sake of the fact that you have no evil deeds that I know about, as long as you don't say that you want to seek revenge on me, I will not kill you. ”
was asked by Su Yi like this, Wen Xiang's eyes also became confused, and in the three days she was detained, she had also asked herself this question countless times in her heart. But there was no answer.
She was born in a small village in the southwestern border of Daxing, and when she was five years old, her family was killed in the rebellion initiated by the Seventy-six Mountains.
The previous Yuan Demon Sect Master accepted her as a righteous daughter, passed on her martial arts, and let her take on the responsibility of inheriting the torch of the Yuan Demon Sect, her father-in-law was as kind to her as a mountain, although when she grew up, she knew that the Yuan Demon Sect was a demon sect that was shameful to the people in the rivers and lakes, Wen Xiang still had no strange thoughts, she just adhered to her bottom line, practiced every day, and lived a life almost isolated from the sun.
She thought that she would end her life like this, until five years ago, her father-in-law came to the valley where she lived in seclusion and told her that he wanted to fight the Chungang Sword Immortal, who was known as the world's number one master, in order to pursue the martial arts realm.
There were no spectators in that battle, and when she heard that her father-in-law had fallen in defeat at the inn at the foot of the mountain, she felt that she had lost the last care in this world.
The death of his father-in-law, perhaps in order to strengthen his belief in martial arts, he did not designate anyone to become the next sect master before going up the mountain, perhaps he also had a headache about this problem, according to the rules handed down by the sect through the generations, unless it is forced to do so, the position of the sect master must reach the innate realm of people can be held.
Although the eight sect elders were all leaders in the first-class realm, none of them were promoted to innate at that time. In the case that no one is convinced, the position of the suzerain can only be put on hold temporarily.
It wasn't until the news of the true solution that had been circulating for hundreds of years came that the internal sect that had been surging in the undercurrent finally became tense. No matter who they are, they all think that as long as they get the true solution, they can break through the bottleneck that has plagued them for many years and advance to the innate level, so as to convince everyone to ascend to the position of the sect master.
In this inevitable bloody conflict, she followed what her father-in-law once said: "The strong is the truth." "Choosing to form an alliance with Elder Feng Fei, who has the highest martial arts and is also pleasing to the eye, has put an end to this cruel infighting that could have become protracted in stages.
She originally thought that the next thing would go as smoothly as she expected, and Feng Fei, who was the strongest, got the true solution and successfully broke through the innate and became the new sect master, and the other elders had to accept the fact and bow down, and they could also retreat into the background and no longer ask about the sect's affairs, as for the next inheritor, it would be handed over to the new sect master to cultivate.
However, the man in front of her destroyed all this, and she didn't have much feeling about the death of Feng Fei and the others, after all, if it weren't for her father-in-law, she wouldn't have any intersection with the other party and others at all, or it can be said that her sense of belonging to the sect was only because of her gratitude to her father-in-law.
Now that his self-cultivation has been abolished, his strength is not one in a hundred, even if he wants to revive the sect, there is no way to talk about it. If my stepfather were still around, what would he say to me?
Wen Xiang thought of the figure who looked down on the world, maybe in his old man's opinion, compared to the martial arts realm that he diligently pursued, the inheritance of the sect or something was just something that was not worth paying attention to.
It's a pity that my father-in-law has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, but he has not been able to see the monstrous martial arts of the man in front of him.
