Chapter 269: Smoke Everywhere (1)

A few days later, Li Yi left Lingzhou City.

Before leaving, he quietly left two storage bags for He Shuixian, which contained five million spirit stones, as well as a yellow sand divine sword, as well as several exercises.

These exercises were all obtained from the hands of the Huoyun Army, and they were much more powerful than the traditional exercises of the Immortal Academy, and almost all of the academy exercises were now lost, and these exercises were exactly what He Shuixian and the others urgently needed.

As for the value of the five million spirit stones and the Yellow Sand Divine Sword, not to mention.

The reason why Li Yi did this was not only to repay the Immortal Academy, but also to make up for it.

He passed all the way through Lingzhou and entered the boundary of Yanzhou.

Compared with Lingzhou, Yanzhou is more prosperous, with countless cities all over the place, each city is lively and crowded, and the flow of people is surging.

After King Zhennan pacified southern Xinjiang, although he divided the three states, he actually plundered the resources of Lingzhou and Pingzhou to support Yanzhou, which led to such a scene.

Originally, the purpose of Li Yi's trip was just to find out the whereabouts of the stone monument, and he didn't want to cause any trouble, but the tragic changes in the academy made him feel like he was holding his breath in his heart, and he was extremely uncomfortable if he didn't vent it.

With his current strength, it is true that he cannot compete with the entire Zhennan Palace, but a sneak attack can have a surprising winning effect, and by the way, he can also plunder some resources and enhance his strength.

He came to a city on the border of Yanzhou, called Jiangcheng, through which a wide river crossed.

Because since the pacification of southern Xinjiang, Yanzhou has always been very peaceful, decades ago, there were occasional people who rose up to resist, and every time they were suppressed, in recent years, they have not even heard the voice of resistance, so the security in the city is quite relaxed, Li Yi used the magic power of transformation, and it was easy to blend into the city.

After inquiry, Li Yi learned that the city lord's name was Wuzhi, and there were more than 2,300 soldiers under his command, except for a few stationed at the city gate, most of them were stationed near the city lord's mansion.

In addition to the City Lord's Mansion, there are two major families in Jiangcheng, one is the Wu family and the other is the Zhen family, these two families control almost all the industries in the city, and their power is huge, they both check and balance each other, and they are both closely related to the City Lord's Mansion, which is equivalent to the minions of the City Lord's Mansion.

This kind of governance model is what King Zhennan greatly promoted in southern Xinjiang, especially in Yanzhou, after all, King Zhennan has limited talents under his hands, and it is impossible to manage the huge Yanzhou in all aspects, so he has supported many families.

These families were originally small families with little background, but after being supported by the king of Zhennan, they turned into a big family with a dominant side, and they were grateful to the king of Zhennan and swore allegiance.

However, their lifeblood has always been in the hands of the royal government, which also makes them even more afraid to have two thoughts.

The Wu family and the Zhen family suddenly became rich, it is inevitable that they are arrogant and indulgent, and it is commonplace to run rampant and domineering, and the children of the family are robbing and robbing, doing evil, and they don't know how many bastards they have to do every year, most of them are covered up, and some of them are exposed, and they are sued to the city lord's mansion, and in the end, they are all gone.

In private, the people of Jiangcheng gritted their teeth whenever they mentioned the two major families, but the two families were huge, and there was the support of the city lord's mansion behind them, so no one could do anything about them.

Some people can't stand it, so they abandon their family business and go to the mountains and forests to live in seclusion and do penance, and become an idle cloud and wild crane.

However, you must know that although casual cultivation is free, it is difficult to obtain any cultivation resources, and if you only rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, the progress will be very slow, and your lifespan will be shortened as a result.

For example, the scattered cultivators of the Fire Disgusting Country, the reason why they want to establish an organization like the Four Elephant Pavilion is to obtain cultivation resources, otherwise, the resources will be divided up by the major forces, and as a lonely scattered cultivator, they will not get anything.

It's just that Jiangcheng doesn't have an organization like the Four Elephant Pavilion, and the City Lord's Mansion won't allow that kind of organization to exist, and ordinary people can only abide by the rules set by the City Lord's Mansion if they want to obtain resources, and endure the oppression of the two major families.

Li Yi stayed in the city for two days, and after figuring out the situation, he planned the time to do it.

Not only the City Lord's Mansion, but he also wanted to uproot all the two major families, but it was not easy to do this.

The other party's forces are intertwined, all over the city, and it is easy to startle the whole body, and finally fall into a heavy encirclement, which is a situation that Li Yi does not want to see.

With his current strength, if he fights alone, there should be no one in the city who is his opponent, but no matter how strong a person is, his true qi is also limited, and once his true qi is exhausted, he can only sit and wait to die.

"I have a thousand corpse demons, but most of them are still relatively weak, and they have not grown up, let alone have time to depict the magic circle. Li Yi secretly pondered, "It may be a bit difficult to deal with two thousand people, but the City Lord's Mansion plus the two major families, the number of people is far more than two thousand, at least seven or eight thousand, but what should I do?"

If the target is lowered a little, it will only cause some losses to the City Lord's Mansion or the two major families, it will be easy to do, but that is tantamount to treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is not enough to shake the foundation of the Zhennan Palace.

When Li Yizheng was feeling embarrassed, he suddenly heard a message in the lobby of the inn.

September 15, is the 800th birthday of the city lord Wuzhi, will hold a grand birthday banquet in the city lord's mansion, in addition to the two major families, some of the city's quite prestigious figures, will be invited, and even at that time, the forces from all over Yanzhou will send envoys to send a generous gift.

"Eight hundredth birthday?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard the news.

A cultivator of the Law Phase Realm, even if it is a Dharma Phase Ninefold, it is difficult for the lifespan to reach eight hundred years old, which means that the Wu Banner has already stepped into the Qiankun Realm, and with such a long lifespan, the true qi must be very pure and vigorous, and there are many means.

"This old guy can't be underestimated, if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work!" Li Yi thought secretly.

But what made him happy was that he finally found an opportunity to do it.

September 15 is tomorrow.

When the time comes, as long as you can blend into the birthday banquet, you can wipe out the enemy.

With such a grand birthday banquet, there are many people and mixed eyes, and the vigilance will inevitably be more lax, and all the enemies will gather together, which will also save a lot of trouble, once chaos is caused, the situation will be very beneficial to Li Yi.

"God help me!" Li Yi was overjoyed.

He prepared in the inn, and first practiced the water demon supernatural power for a while.

During this time, even when he was in a hurry, he was still practicing this magical power on the side, and most of the day passed, although he still failed to step into the realm of Dacheng, but the technique of water control had come naturally, and he finally practiced the means of condensing water into ice.

Li Yi took a pill and recovered his true qi.

After coming to Jiangcheng, he spent 20 million spirit stones to buy a batch of pills, and the pills on his body were very sufficient.

Next, all you have to do is find a way to get an invitation to the birthday party.

As early as daytime, messengers from all over the world came to Jiangcheng one after another, and many of them chose to stay at the inn and prepare to go to the city lord's mansion for a banquet the next day.

In the inn where Li Yi was located, there happened to be two gift-giving messengers, and Li Yi learned about the birthday banquet from them, and even overheard the identities of the two clearly.

One is a son of the Zhang family in Los Angeles, and the other is a deacon of the Zhao family in Hucheng, the two met in the lobby during the day, and had a good greeting, as if no one was around, and then entered the box to talk secretly.

As everyone knows, the content of the secret conversation was all listened to by Li Yi, he has the power to listen to the gods, it is easy to hear the voices of these two people, even if it is a subtle sound, it can't hide from his ears.

The children of the Zhang family in Luocheng are weak, but they are accompanied by two old servants, and it is quite difficult to deal with them, so Li Yi decided to take the deacon of the Zhao family in Hucheng.

In the dead of night, the deacon of the Zhao family was resting in the house.

He was ordered by the head of the family to travel thousands of miles to Jiangcheng, but there was no trace of tiredness on his face, just sitting on the bed, slowly exhaling, and his breath was steady and powerful.

His ears fluttered imperceptibly, listening to the movements nearby.

Although Jiangcheng has been relatively peaceful in recent years, it is a strange place for the deacon of the Zhao family after all, and he must be cautious everywhere.

"The gift that the head of the family asked me to give this time is not trivial, and I can't afford to miss it in the slightest!" the deacon of the Zhao family thought silently, "But with me personally guarding it, those young people shouldn't dare to approach!"

He has full confidence in his own strength, otherwise, the head of the family will not rest assured that he will come alone, and this kind of trust is the best proof of his strength.

When he was in the lobby during the day, he even deliberately revealed his identity loudly, just to let others hear, behind him was the Zhao family in Lake City, and anyone who dared to offend was killing himself.

The first half of the night passed, and it was still quiet, and nothing happened.

"It seems that my deterrence has worked!" said the Zhao family deacon.

But at that moment, suddenly a footstep approached.

"Who is it?" the deacon of the Zhao family immediately became alert.

"It's me. The voice of the Zhang family disciple came from outside the door, "Deacon, I want to borrow something from you, please open the door." ”

The deacon of the Zhao family relaxed his vigilance, but he was a little suspicious in his heart: "Borrowing something so late, it must be an urgent need!" hurriedly opened the door and invited the children of the Zhang family to enter the room.

"I don't know what Gongzi Zhang wants to borrow?" asked the deacon of the Zhao family.

"Borrow your birthday invitation. The Zhang family showed a strange smile.

The deacon of the Zhao family was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, and said, "What do you mean?

The children of the Zhang family said lightly: "If I have it, why do I come to you to borrow it?"

The deacon of the Zhao family heard the meaning of his words, although he still didn't understand what was going on, but his suspicions had risen, and he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed his chest, wanting to strike first.
