Chapter 476 A Counterplot
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After the bearded cultivator pulled Zhao Junyi over, many cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage brought their friends, relatives, or the leaders of their organizations to thank Li Ye. Almost half of the team with more than 1,500 people came. Because there were not many Great Cultivators, it was always that several cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage pulled a cultivator in the Spiritual Master Realm or in the Immortal Realm.
Like Zhao Junyi, all the cultivators expressed their deep respect for Li Ye and said that as long as Li Ye needed help in the future, they would definitely go through fire and water even if they were far away. Of course, because the bearded cultivator declared that don’t insult Hero Li, they didn’t give Li Ye any gifts.
Li Ye smiled on his face, but he cursed in his heart. “I don’t mind you insulting me. Damn it…” He looked at the bearded cultivator several times with profound meaning. When this guy took the initiative to thank him and collect the materials on the fierce beasts for him with the other cultivators, he found this guy very agreeable, but now, he didn’t think so!
The bearded cultivator didn’t know what Li Ye was thinking. Seeing Li Ye looking at him with profound meaning, he thought that he had a perfect understanding of Li Ye’s intention and got Li Ye’s appreciation and recognition. Immediately, he shouted more loudly, “Don’t insult Hero Li…”
Li Ye really wanted to chop him to death.
Anyway, Li Ye was hailed and worshipped by the crowd, which proved that he gained a lot of fame. The establishment of virtue was in continuous progress.
Even the leaders of the major forces, who were in the Real Immortal Realm, looked at Li Ye with kind eyes. They were not jealous when they saw Li Ye enjoying the cheers. After all, he saved their cultivators. The cultivators of the demon clan could tell right from wrong.
But there were some cultivators in different moods. For example, the Big Master of the Killing Hands had a gloomy look at this moment.
“Di Luo, didn’t I tell you to get a chance to kill this guy? Why is he still alive? Do you turn a deaf ear to my words? You don’t want to live, do you?” the Big Master growled to a cultivator beside him, gnashing his teeth.
“Big Master, don’t worry. I’m going to kill him right now!” said Qi Potian’s captain. At this moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intents, but he looked uneasy. He knew that the Big Master was not satisfied with him, so he had to make up for his mistake immediately.
“Now that he is alive and well among the demons, how can you kill him? Find a chance to get him alone!” The Big Master was fierce both in look and voice. “Don’t tell me that you can’t deal with a seriously injured cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm. If I have to do it personally, you will have to dig a grave for yourself!”
“I won’t let him live till tomorrow!” Di Luo said coldly.
At this point, he stared fiercely at Li Ye and Qi Potian, who was beside Li Ye with a happy face. He was full of hatred in his heart. “What a good-for-nothing! I asked him to cheat Li Ye out of his treasures, but he failed so that I was criticized by the Big Master. He’s looking for death!”
“After you kill Li Ye, the demon fox will be mine!” the Big Master suddenly added. He licked his lips and his eyes were full of evil intents. “This woman looks very attractive. I like this beautiful and mature female demon the most!”
Di Luo stiffened. He coveted the proprietress and wanted to get her. Hearing the Big Master’s words, he knew that he couldn’t do anything to her. With this in mind, he hated Qi Potian and Li Ye very much.
Because of the attack of the fierce beasts, the cultivators had rested here for a day to heal their wounds and recover their energy. Several cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm gathered together to discuss the next move. Each of them stuck to his argument, shirking from being the vanguard to explore the way and to make sure that they would not be attacked again. Li Ye sighed in his heart.
The fierce beasts’ advance and retreat were reasonable. The location and timing of the raid, as well as the concealment of the ambush, were well-timed. And the power was well arranged. It could ensure a stable victory without wasting strength. It showed that the fierce beasts’ leader was clever.
Now, the cultivators of Liuxi Town were already deep in the forest, but the cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm were arguing about the commanding right. The cultivators of Liuxi Town were not very powerful. In this case, it was impossible for them to win the following battle.
Li Ye, Wu You, the proprietress, Hong Xiu, and the others exposed their strength last night. If the fierce beasts wanted to deal with them again, they would send a stronger team and would not make the same mistake. Even though Li Ye didn’t completely expose his strength, the following battle would be difficult.
If they were careless, more than half of the cultivators of Liuxi Town would be killed, or even all of them would be wiped out.
Li Ye got most of the cultivators’ sincere admiration. It was the right time to make them completely loyal to him. How could he tolerate them to be wiped out and his previous efforts to be in vain?
“It seems that it’s time to find a way to get the commanding right,” Li Ye thought. As a qualified general, the most uncomfortable thing was that the army commander was an idiot.
He could ask You Daxiao and the others to come and establish his position by strength, but this was a bad strategy. He wouldn’t use it unless there was no other way. After all, You Daxiao’s team could play a decisive role in a real battle.
He couldn’t take out his trump card casually.
Under the setting sun, the forest was bathed in the warm sunshine. The undulating trees looked particularly magnificent, and the towering mountains in the distance were old and sturdy, full of vitality.
After Li Ye ate the game barbecued by the proprietress, he was about to get up and discuss things with Qi Potian. At this moment, the captain of the team flew from a distance and landed in front of Li Ye.
“Brother Li, you’re powerful. The Big Master feels that you will have a grievance if you continue to follow the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage. Would you like to go with us? If you kill the fierce beasts later, you will get higher-ranking treasures,” Di Luo said to Li Ye kindly.
Although this guy tried his best to show a kind smile, he failed because he had been malicious and insidious for too long. He couldn’t hide the hostility in his eyes, so his smile looked very odd.
Li Ye got up and said with a smile, “At your disposal.”
Qi Potian told him that this guy had evil intentions toward him. After listening to Di Luo’s words, Li Ye felt that this guy came to him not only to inform him to accompany, but he also had follow-up arrangements. So he decided to wait and see.
Di Luo was very satisfied with Li Ye’s attitude. He was afraid that Li Ye would be unwilling to leave as he was enjoying being praised by the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage. He was glad that Li Ye was sensible. But on second thought, he understood why Li Ye did this.
Although Li Ye killed some fierce beasts, he was in the Ground Immortal Realm, so how could he disobey the Killing Hands? When Di Luo came to him, he didn’t dare to fight him because Di Luo was in the Sky Immortal Realm, and he could only obey the Big Master’s order.
“Qi Potian, come here. I have some tasks, and we need to work together to complete them.” Di Luo didn’t waste time. Since Li Ye was willing to listen to him, he directly revealed his real intention of finding them.
After Qi Potian came, Di Luo pointed to the east and said, “The terrain is very complicated for 50 kilometers ahead. Valleys and rivers crisscross each other, mountains are tall and steep, and trees are luxuriant. It’s most suitable for an ambush. After the Big Master discussed with several Great Powers, they decided to send us to explore the way ahead as scouts, making sure that we won’t encounter another ambush tomorrow.”
At this point, Di Luo looked solemn. For fear that Li Ye was unwilling to go because he thought the task was dangerous, he said in a deep voice, “This is the Big Master’s arrangement and the joint decision of several Great Powers, so we have to do it!”Access v ip novel
After a pause, Di Luo looked at Li Ye. He suddenly remembered Li Ye’s behavior last night, so he added, “It’s for the good of the whole team. As cultivators in the Immortal Realm, we should do things for the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage so that they won’t have the nightmare they had last night!”
Li Ye felt very strange when he heard Di Luo’s impassioned words and saw his solemn look. “Why are you stressing this to me? Do you really think that I’m willing to sacrifice myself regardless of my own safety for the sake of the general public?”
Chin up and chest out, Li Ye declaimed, “In this case, it’s our bounden duty to explore the way!”
“Yes, I am.”
“At least, I have to pretend to be so at this moment.”
After Li Ye accepted such a dangerous and weird task without hesitation, Qi Potian was so anxious that he winked at Li Ye, hoping that he would not be hot-blooded.
But apparently, it didn’t work.
When this was settled, Qi Potian felt helpless. He looked at Li Ye with worry. Several times he tried to tell Li Ye not to go. “Brother Li, you’re noble and pure, but I told you last night that this guy wanted to deal with you. Why don’t you guard against him? You’re going to die!”
Li Ye felt Qi Potian’s eyes, but he had no reaction.
Of course, he knew that Di Luo had evil intentions.
In fact, not only Di Luo, but he also had.
Li Ye estimated that whether he could take over the command of the team, it depended on Di Luo and the Big Master.
He already had a plan.
“It’s getting dark. We can’t wait any longer. Let’s go,” Di Luo ordered.
Li Ye had no objection and was about to leave. Duchess, the proprietress, and Hong Xiu followed him.
Seeing this, Di Luo quickly stopped and said to the proprietress and Miss Hong Xiu, “We’re going to explore the way. It’s not appropriate to have too many people. There are four of us, and that’s enough. You two, please stay.”
The proprietress and Hong Xiu looked at each other and wanted to say something. Li Ye made eye contact with the proprietress, and then he said to Duchess, “We will come back tomorrow morning. You wait here.”
The proprietress understood Li Ye’s meaning. She took the initiative to pull Hong Xiu and said with a smile, “We’ll wait here.”
Duchess didn’t move either. She knew that Li Ye left her here so that she could order You Daxiao to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time. After all, You Daxiao only obeyed Li Ye and Duchess.
Looking at Li Ye, Di Luo sneered in his heart. “You still want to come back? Stop dreaming! Even if you come back, you can only come back as a ghost!”
In the end, Di Luo and another member of the Killing Hands, who were in the Sky Immortal Realm, as well as Li Ye and Qi Potian, left the place where the cultivators rested and flew to the mountainous area in the east.
Seeing this, the Big Master of the Killing Hands had a sinister expression of success in his eyes. Then he found the proprietress’ figure in the crowd. His smile was particularly obscene.
