Chapter 175: Institutional Challenge

Seeing that Ye Yichen had no intention of fighting to the death, Bing Tear breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell the perfect method that he had come up with in a short period of time, hoping to convince the man in front of him who was no less resourceful than her.

"Since this battle can't be won or lost, let's change the place, how about another battle? This time the place of battle is set up by your Penglai army, then next time it should be led by me, just as a courtesy exchange, how about it?"

Speaking of this, Bing Tear paused slightly, briefly observed Ye Yichen's reaction, and found that he had no intention of objecting, his expression was still calm, and he continued to speak.

"As you may not know, I built a tall tower in the southern part of Penglai Island, named ---- Trap Tower. As the name suggests, this tower is full of traps and is a training ground that I built for my subordinates. The tower is divided into three floors, and as the number of floors increases, the danger of the mechanism increases. You can send three people with advanced cultivation to challenge this trap tower, and if someone succeeds in leaving the trap tower through the teleportation array at the end of the third layer, it will be counted as your victory, and I will immediately lead the crowd out of Penglai Island. But if no one can escape, then I will become the ruler of Penglai Island. But you can rest assured that neither I nor my subordinates will participate in this challenge, and we will all stay outside the tower and be supervised by the Penglai Army. I don't know what Yokoshi thinks, I'm not satisfied with my proposal, I hope you have enough courage to take on my challenge, but don't forget that when I agreed to accept your challenge, I didn't hesitate at all. ”

Ice Tears used a little agitation between his words, but Ye Yichen's expression was as calm as ever, and he asked: "Do you dare to guarantee that these three people who entered the tower will only encounter mechanisms, and no living people? Can you prove that you will not cast spells outside the tower to interfere with the people in the tower? You had better make some reliable promises, otherwise I will never rashly accept your proposal." ”

"Okay, I swear! Heaven testifies, I promise with tears that there are only mechanisms in the tower, and I and all my subordinates will stay outside the tower, and will never cast any spells to interfere with the three people in the tower who participated in the challenge, if you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

Ice Tears raised her right hand high and solemnly swore a poisonous oath to show that she would never break her word.

This move was indeed quite effective, Ye Yichen nodded, and said, "Since you have made a poisonous oath, I forgive you for not daring to break your oath." Since you accepted the challenge from us in the first place, it is obviously not a gentleman's act to reject you now. See you outside the Tower in seven days!"

Bing Tear was also quite surprised to see that Ye Yichen agreed so decisively, but he didn't show it on his face, just smiled and said: "Ye Gongzi is really refreshing, then it will be a word." Seven days later, from the hour onwards, we have been waiting outside the Tower for the arrival of the challenger. ”

"In seven days, the Challenger will come to the appointment, and I hope that Your Excellency will also strictly abide by the oath you have just made. ”

Ye Yichen said this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I will discuss with the commander of the Penglai Army, inform him of your and my agreement, and let him let you and your subordinates out." Please don't act rashly during this time, I will convince the manager that he will not make him act against you. ”

Bing Tear showed a look of trust in Ye Yichen, and said: "Although Ye Gongzi can go with confidence, he will never act beyond the courtesy, after all, you and I have reached an agreement." ”

Ye Yichen nodded, and then walked towards the hill where Zou Xiong was.

Qing Ling heard the conversation between the two clearly, and hurriedly greeted Ye Yichen at this time.

"Yegongzi, it's not good for you to make your own decision before you report it to the king. And if you don't take advantage of this ice tear to capture her when she is weak, there may be no chance in the future. ”

A hint of doubt appeared on Qing Ling's face, and he was quite puzzled by Ye Yichen's behavior.

Ye Yichen said: "Miss Qingling, do you think that with us alone, will there be a chance to capture her without causing a wide range of casualties?"

Qing Ling's face sank when he heard this, and although he didn't want to admit it, he still shook his head honestly.

"If you want to capture her, you have to be ready to fight to the death, but I really can't be ruthless, and I can't watch these good men of Penglai Country stained the battlefield with blood. This time, no matter who opposes it, I will stand by my opinion. The king is a wise man, and I think he will understand my thoughts and support my choice. Now in this situation, we can only cut it first and then play it, we have no time to weigh the pros and cons, after all, that ice tear is not a good person. If she sent someone to report to the king, she would be suspicious, and the situation would be difficult to manage. ”

After listening to Ye Yichen's analysis, Qing Ling sighed and said, "Ye Gongzi is right, and now he can only do this." ”

"You don't have to worry too much, I have a lot of research on the mechanism technique, within these seven days, I will pass on all the knowledge of the mechanism technique to you and Xuantian, and then the three of us will challenge the mechanism tower together, I believe we will be able to succeed." Ye Yichen said confidently.

Qing Ling let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since Ye Gongzi said so, then I really don't have anything to worry about, and I will ask you to solve my doubts with Xuantian in the past seven days." ”

Qing Ling and Ye Yichen had reached the edge of the basin between the conversations, and Ye Yichen went straight to Zou Xiong's location, while Qing Ling went to meet Xuantian and told Xuantian everything he had just heard.

Xuantian trusts Ye Yichen very much, and admires his resourcefulness very much, since even Ye Yichen thinks that this challenge is acceptable, it proves that he must have the certainty of success in the challenge. Therefore, Xuantian resolutely chose to support Ye Yichen's decision and did not raise any objections.

On the other hand, Zou Xiong, the commander of the Penglai Army, after listening to Ye Yichen's analysis, carefully considered the pros and cons of different choices, and finally felt that it was not a good strategy to fight to the death and lose the most. For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to accept the challenge proposed by Ice Tears first.

Zou Xiongsi also officially expressed his agreement with this, and stated that if the king blamed him, he was willing to take responsibility with Ye Yichen.

Ye Yichen was moved when he heard this, and sincerely expressed his heartfelt thanks to Zou Xiong.

Zou Xiong immediately ordered the three armies to leave the basin with his subordinates, and not to attack them during this time, to ensure that they could evacuate safely, and those who violated the military order were dealt with.

Although the generals and soldiers were very puzzled by the orders given by the marshal, the military orders were like mountains, and the Penglai army had always been strictly disciplined, and no one would say anything against the orders issued by the marshal, and they would choose to follow them silently.

After Bing Tear thanked Ye Yichen and Zou Xiong on the hill, he left the basin with his few remaining subordinates and returned to the south of Penglai Island.

And Zou Xiong also ordered all the soldiers to pack up their camps and prepare to collect their troops and return to the royal city.

After seven days of meticulous preparations, this war lasted only a few hours, and the enemy's unimaginable strength made all the traps seem meaningless, and if it were not for a mysterious "internal response" hidden in the enemy's army, I am afraid that it would be impossible to finally use the method of peace to quell this war.

Although Ice Tears did not cast a single offensive spell in the entire battle, just the protective shield that could block almost all attacks made the soldiers of the Penglai Army feel uneasy.

In the face of such a powerful enemy, no one can come up with a way to defeat her now, even if she is as smart as Ye Yichen, there is a helplessness that can be done between the lines.

On the way back to the royal city, all the soldiers of the Penglai army looked dejected, feeling that they would embark on the road to destruction at any time, and they could not see even a ray of light in front of them.

Xuantian also had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, not that he was afraid of the challenge of the Organ Tower, nor was he worried about the future of Penglai Island. All that lingered in his heart was Li Mengluan's figure, where was she at the moment, and did the influence of the bracelet still exist? These were all knots in his heart that he couldn't let go.

If Li Mengluan hadn't left, Xuantian believed that Bing Tear would never be her opponent, but now that she chose to leave, she must have her own reasons.

Xuantian's most trusted person in this world, except for Qingling and Zhuo Yan, is Li Mengluan. It can even be said that his trust in Li Mengluan is even greater than that of his master and uncle, and it is even more difficult for him to believe that Li Mengluan will leave or betray for no reason than to make him believe that the crow is white. Because of this, Xuantian's worries about Li Mengluan continued unabated, and he repeatedly asked himself in his heart, what was the reason for her to choose to leave resolutely?

Apocalypse Royal City, the main hall of the royal palace.

Ye Yichen told the king the ins and outs of the entire war in great detail. After finishing the narration, he knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice: "The guilty minister made a seven-day covenant with the enemy without reporting to His Majesty, which is really a crime of deceiving the king, and cannot be easily forgiven, please deal with it according to the law." ”

Although the king's face was full of worry, he did not get angry, but personally sat down and helped Ye Yichen up, and said: "What is the crime of the night hero, this is the best choice after weighing the pros and cons, if you chose to fight to the death at that time, then I am afraid that few of the tens of thousands of soldiers of my Penglai army can survive." You are their savior. ”

"Your Majesty is serious, I just couldn't find a better choice. It is indeed a lack of consideration to tie the fate of Penglai to a challenge, and no matter how His Majesty wants to punish me, the guilty minister is willing to accept it. ”

The king returned to his seat, shook his head gently, and said, "I have said it all, you have done nothing wrong, where is the sin." However, we didn't expect that the strength of this Spirit Worship Sect leader, Ice Tears, was even stronger than we imagined. Fortunately, her moral heart has not been completely degraded, and she has proposed a fairly fair challenge rule, otherwise if she makes herself a member of the challenge, I am afraid that no one will be able to complete this task. ”
